For two days beforehand I has trying to narrow my make up bag down to a sensible amount to take, as I have got the art of over packing be it clothes,makeup,etc down to a T. This year though I was quite pleased with how I got on.....

Real Techniques Blush brush//stippling brush//Contour brush//Expert face brush.
So all in all I was pretty damm pleased with myself.

Vintage

Hey Girls
Hope ya all doing good :o), Well as you saw from the other blog on sunday i am loving everything vintage at the min and have been for a while, I went to London for Long weekend in June with my boyfriend and we went to Portabello Market on the Saturday and came across this vintage jewellery stall called Junk Jewls and it was quite literally love at first sight for me ha ha!! Their jewellery is beyond amazing and sooo quirky and different which is why i love it, I ended up buying 4 necklaces and 4 bracelets i could of got more but had to have a bit of self control ha, My camera is playing up at the min so can can only add picture from their website of the necklaces i purchased and on bracelet i purchased



Now it was sooo hard to choose which necklaces to buy but i went for these 3 in the end just as they a bit different, and I love lockets anyway have so many from my mum and grandma, ones I've got etc, And the wings/heart necklace i just find so cute had to have it
what is even more amazing The Gorgeous Zoe who is the brains behind Junk Jewls hand makes every single item which is incredible! And they ship to other countries as well which is a bonus. I have to tag Laura in this blog as reading a few of her old posts it clear to me she a girl after my own heart with her love for jewelery especially vintage ones so think be a good site for u to check out hunni plus they ship to America! For just a small shipping fee of £2 which is fantastic.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock



Well as my boyfriend as at a football game tonight i decided to watch some friends but then most nights i will always watch an episode or 4 lol because it is without my fave programme of all time i can NEVER get bored of it and i think that applies to most friends fans. Ive had a long heard think and i still can not same i have a clear favourite over the years it has changed from Joey to Chandler to Monica to phoebe and Ross and Rachael etc but i love them all for all different reasons.




Below are just a few of my Favourite sayings between some of the gang over the years




"Friends: The Last One: Part 1 (#10.19)" (2004)

Chandler: Whatta we do?
Monica: What do you mean 'what do we do'?
Chandler: [frantically] Twins... Twins...
Monica: Chandler, you're panicking!
Chandler: Uh huh, join me, won't you? Okay what do you say we keep one and then just like ave an option on the other one?
Monica: We can't split them up!
Chandler: Why not? We could give each of them half a medallion, and then years later they'll find each other... and be reunited. I mean that's a great day for everybody.






"Friends: The One with Rachel's Other Sister (#9.8)"

[In Ross's apartment]
Amy: Could I take this call upstairs?
Ross: Sure... but we don't live there.
Amy: [to Rachel] I thought he was a doctor.
Rachel: He has a PhD.
Amy: Ewww...



"Friends: The One with Ross's Tan (#10.3)"


Chandler: [Ross walks in with a really dark tan] Hold on. There's something different about you.
Ross: I went to that tanning place your wife suggested.
Chandler: Was that place the sun?
Ross: It gets worse.
[holds up his top to reveal one half of his skin is still white]
Chandler: Oh my God! You can do a duet of 'Ebony & Ivory' all by yourself.
Monica: How could you mess this up? You go in the booth, you count to five...
Ross: How do you count to five?
Monica: [counts quickly] One, two, three...
Ross: Dammit!
Rachel: [after seeing Ross's tan] What is up with Miss Hawaiian Tropic?







There are SO many more quotes i could put on here but I'd be here all night doing it but you catch my drift also one i love what i didn't put up was the episode with Ross and his new couch and the line ' PIVOT PIVOT PIVOOOTTTT' ha ha made me nearly pee me self with laughter lol. Also what i love is the amazing guest actors and actresses they have had on the show over the years i mean the likes of - Brad Pitt, Tom Selleck, Paul Rudd,Kathleen Turner,Christina Applegate,David Arquette,Hank Azaria,Alec Baldwin,Helen Baxendale,Selma Blair,Tate Donavon,Paget Brewster,George Clooney,Tom Conti ,Dakota Fanning,Anna Faris,Soleil Moon Frye ,Melissa George,Chrissie Hynde,Helen Hunt,Greg Kinnear,Ralph Lauren,Jay Leno,Elle MacPherson,Gary Oldman,Donny Osmond,Sean Penn,Leah Remini ,Denise Richards and the list will go on and on and on. Speaks volumes for the show that they could attract such high profile people to guest star on it.


I have yet to come across someone who does not love friends, and hopefully i never will as i just would find it strange for people not to love the show!!What is there not love about it?

London Calling

Back in June my amazing boyfriend won us a 2 night stay at the 5* Kensington Hotel which we were over the moon with , so we chose our dates and decided go down for start of the world cup weekend, and i have to say the hotel and the staff from the moment we arrived to moment we left were beyond 5* it is without doubt the nicest and friendliest hotel i have ever stayed in, On the Saturday we informed them that my mum was gonna come and stay the night which they were fine with and very accommodating the suite we had was incredible a huge King size bed and a single for my mum spread over 3 large rooms and large plasma screen TV, we had our own entrance via lift.



The interior of the suite and hotel in itself was just beautiful and so immaculate the staff could not do enough to help you,On our first night we went to a pub around the corner from hotel  watch England v USA when we arrived back to our room we had found that the staff had folded back our duvets and left chocolates on our pillows and a bottle of spring water which was a lovely touch.
Sunday morning and when we arrived for breakfast the morning staff were very pleasant and so helpful, the breakfast room was stunning with marble tops filled with freshly baked croissants and danishes , glass jars of cereal,fresh yoghurt's,oats and porridge and fresh fruit juice to help ya self to until ya cooked English came along which was SO nice.Could not complain at all.


he area in which the Kensington Hotel is in South Kensington is beautiful we loved the area, was right round the corner from a lovely High street with stunning cafes and bars and restaurants mixed with you re newsagents and tesco so something for everyone, Also we were 15 min walk away from Knights bridge which i must say was a lovely walk. And 10 min walk from Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park which of course when in London they are both a must!!
Overall out of 10 i give our stay 10 there is not one bad thing i could say about the hotel,staff or area and We will definitely be staying there again! So next time ya fancy a break away in London and want a nice hotel with friendly helpful staff in a beautiful location easy access to central London then you have to go for the Kensington Hotel.

Wah Nails are a must!!

So some may say I'm a little bit obsessed when it comes to my nails, have so many nail varnish's in different colours and shades O.P.I and Barry M are my favourite brands of nail varnish at the min i sometimes find it hard to get a colour to last on my nails without chipping after a couple of days and with these two brands i find the colours are so vibrant and last for at least a week or so without any signs of chipping plus they dry very quickly which is always a plus if you are like me and can't sit still for 5 seconds. Anyway had a weekend in London and had heard of Wah Nails in the Topshop Oxford Street i had a look at their website and was blown away by what they can do with ya nails and all the different designs here are just a few


Now these Leopard print ones r so cool and with the colourings will go with any outfit, I also loved these multi coloured ones as shows a variety of what they do! I personally went for  Black and white Print ones as they took my fancy at the time But i highly recommend next time any1 is on Oxford street and ya love having ya nails done and being pampered gone down to the Basement level and to Wah Nails and treat ya self the prices range from £20 a set to £70 a set depending on what u fancy. Also check their website out they are also on twitter if u wanna ask them anything at all wah nails
