Body Shop – Foaming Bath

Strawberry Bath

Strawberry Bath

On my birthday a few months ago, my partner got me a strawberry bath & body gift set from the Body Shop. It has some gorgeous shower gel, body butter and soap.  It’s also got one of the those body scrubs which never dry out properly.  But it’s red and goes with the set, so I’m not complaining ;)

Unfortunately the set didn’t include the bubble bath, so I bought some yesterday.  It’s an incredible £7.80, which is why I put off buying it for so long (hoping there’d be a sale).
I kid you not, it’s the best bath stuff I’ve ever used.  I’ve always loved the body shop, but the prices do alienate me somewhat.  But it’s easy to see why the prices are quite high!  If anyone’s not sure what to get me, you can’t go wrong with the Body Shop, I love anything from there :)

Personalised Christmas Baubles

Personalised Christmas Baubles

Personalised Christmas Baubles

Hey, it was only a few months ago I was talking about Christmas stress.  I think I should rename this the ‘Christmas Blog’.  But I’m already thinking of things to buy my beloved, plus family and friends.

I love this idea that With Love Gifts are doing – Christmas baubles you can personalise.  I’m always wary of giving too many gifts at that time of year which aren’t particularly Christmassy.

It’s so much nicer to give a gift that’s personal.  The Christmas bauble will re-emerge every year, reminding you of that Christmas you received it, making the whole decoration of the tree extra special.

I love it :D   –> Personalised Christmas baubles

Comfortable Shoes – Too much to ask?

August 12, 2009 at 10:27 am (Shoes) ()

I have suffered so much over the years, totally unable to find a pair of decent shoes that don’t make my feet ache, and don’t rub my feet to shreds.
There are some solutions like using gel pads or special foam you can cut to size.  But gel pads never stay in the same place, and foam can often make the problem worse or at least come loose and leave you with glue all over your lovely shoes.

I’m getting really fed up.  The more I see stupid shoes all over the place, ones you can see will obviously rub the back of your heel to the bone, the angrier I get.

It’s so much worse in summer.  A few months ago I bought some Crocs.  Yes, real Crocs.  I’d had enough, and there are some decent styles out there like Crocs Olivia which are quite feminine and dainty.  I thought I’d cracked it, honestly.  They weren’t rubbing my feet at all, and I loved how light they were.  What could possibly go wrong?  Well, if you’ve ever worn Crocs, I don’t think you can deny that they make your feet sweat, A LOT.  No amount of holes will cure that, and I think it’s a con to make you believe the little holes will solve all your problems.   So after 5 mins of walking, it turns into ‘squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak’.  Then all of a sudden the backslings decided not to fit around the back of my feet anymore, so I couldn’t walk properly.

Terrible.  Rip off shoes I call them.  Promising, but utterly faulted.

So I’m back to square one.  If anyone knows of a nice looking pair of shoes that I can walk LOTS in, please let me know.

Diesel Watches from Saswa

Diesel Watches - white

Diesel Watches - white

You didn’t think I’d come back did you?  I wasn’t going to because I was so busy, but looking back through the blog I decided it was best for me to come back and carry on talking about my shopping dilemmas, needs and wants.

I should have done before summer because I was having a nightmare trying to find things for my holiday- I had loads to talk about.  Including finding a nice purple summer dress. Do you realise how difficult they are to find?? Impossible! I nearly gave up…

Anyway,  my favourite jewellery site, Saswa, has started selling Diesel Watches.  Hooray! This is great because Saswa do free delivery.   I’m fed up of adding something to shopping baskets on other websites and finding £5 has been added on just before the final payment page.  The only place delivery should become an issue is on ebay.

Here is their page all about Diesel watches.  There is something about them that is so visually appealing, and I’ve bought the gorgeous white DZ5130 Diesel watch model.

I will post again soon, don’t worry.  This time I’m sure ;)

Christmas Stress

December 23, 2008 at 3:16 pm (Uncategorized) ()

I apologise greatly for the lack of posting recently- Christmas sure is the busiest time of the year, whether it’s shopping/work/family life.

I’ll get back into posting after Christmas has finished, and the stress is no longer present.

I have bought so many gifts this year, I think I may have gone overboard.   But I won’t say anything specific incase my loved ones end up reading here before Christmas Day..

Speak soon..
