Sunday Afternoon Tea

Hello Ladies,

Pull up a chair, have some shortbread and I'll pour you an apologetic cup of Chai.
I know it's been a month since I last posted. Work is draining. I either need a new job, a holiday or work less hours (which I will NOT be allowed to do). At the cafe you're either full time or part time, by which I mean you either work 5 days a week or one day a week. There is no middle ground (which kinda sucks). But finding a new job is quite high on the priority list. I love a job where I don't come home stinking of bacon fat. Enough of my woes.
I'm back and buzzzing with things to talk about.
How have you all been?
Love and Bugs

Sunday Coffee Morning

Hello my Lovelies!

I hope you've all had a great week, have you been up to anything fun?

I had a pretty hum drum week apart from Thursday.

Anna and I met for dinner, but before-hand we went to Boots and were treated like shoplifters. You know when shop assistants think you're going to steal when 3 of them ask 'Hi, can I help you?' (insert snooty voice and a disgusted up and down look) in the space of 2 minutes (and I mean that literally). The first lady who asked meant well, as we were standing next to her counter. The second seemed to be a manager, she swooped in the second we picked up a Dior bottle. Finally the third nosey crow, whom we told several times we were just browsing, kept trying to move us away from the fragrances we were interested to the ones she thought was 'more in our price range'. I'm a grown woman with a job, I can afford to shell out for the new Marc Jacobs Daisy LED, But I'd like to know if I like it first cos it is quite expensive. But no she wanted us to take lady Millionaire (or what ever that crap was). It came in an ugly gold bottle and actually smelled like mold spores. The service in Boots sucks, and if it wasn't for all the benefits I get from the rewards scheme i would take my business elsewhere.

I'm gonna stop ranting I feel the rage resurfacing.

But the rest of the evening was lovely. We went to Pizza Express and I had a pizza called Il Padrino (I think). It was so pretty and delicious. Then we had cheese cake for dessert, and I swear they serve the best cheese cake in Aberdeen. And we took advantage of the free hot drink with your desert, Anna had hot chocolate which was huge, and I had a latte which was so nice, way better than Starbucks any day.

I also dyed my hair yesterday. The colour is called Black Cherry, I'll post a picture later. It looks like the kind of colour that might fade to a pretty raspberry colour :).

Anyways, I'm away to get ready to go into town and get packaging supplies, I've been meaning to all week and just haven't had time.

I'll probably do a few posts later on, I need to do an update on my diet plan (which is going well btw).

'Til then.

My Favourite Pink Lipsticks

Swatches!!!!

Ysl - Nude Beige

A beautiful neutral pink with a cream finish.

Revlon - Pink Pout

One of my Summer favourites, this is a blue toned matt pink number. Especially pretty with Revlon's Lilac Pastelle layered over the top.

Revlon - Pink in the Afternoon

Beautifully pigmented with a coral base.

N07 - Grace

There's no other way to describe this than a strawberry milkshake for the the lips.

Rimmel - Pink Blush

Another Summer favourite. Blue toned pink with a creamy finish.

Rimmel - Vintage Pink

This Picture doesn't do the colour justice. This lipstick in reality is more plum based, more pigmented and more glossy than this picture.

I hope you all enjoyed this post, let me know if you want to see more like it.

Let me know what your favourite pink lippies are.

March Empties

Hello my Lovelies! I've decided to stop the project in favour of sensible thinking.I'm still trying to finish up as many products as possible, but I going to let myself buy what I want as long as I'm sensible about it.

I remembered to take a picture of all the products I finished last month. After I threw out the empties there was suddenly a ton of space on my bathroom shelf. It spurs me on to see the space reappearing.

Go have a look on your shelves and see how many nearly finished products you can find. Tryst me, you'll be surprised.

Oh! It's On!

Good Morning My Lovelies!

Today is the second day of my Boho Diet. I woke up yesterday at 128lbs and I figure since Spring is already here (and summer won't be far behind it) I can't put it off any longer.

I'm so determind this time, that I actually went and bought proper sports wear with build in support and the breathable mesh. I bought them in the size I was before putting on the weight, so when I wear it I can see all the fat roll. I didn't mean that to happen, but it a good motivation.

I'm aiming to lose 10lbs and then see where I'm at. I set this target because even when I was 10lbs lighter I had designs to lose 10lbs.

I need to go get ready for work now.

'Til later!

Update

Hello my Lovelies,

Sorry for being MIA. I've been distracted with trying to get my etsy store stocked. I'm so excited! I can't wait for the supplies to get here so I can start taking the thoughts in my head and making them reality.

I'm also in the middle of weird shift patterns, which will be back to normal by the end of this week. After I've work 10 days straight, that is. So I'm really loking forward to the coming weekend. I have a huge Amazon order to pile drive through, I have magazine reading to catch up on and I have a stack of filming and posts to make. Will 48hrs be long enough?

I'm loving this mini heat wave that we've got going on in Aberdeen. It was 17C today. I've already broke out all my summer dresses and discovered some of them don't fit, so i've finaly kicked my butt on that diet I was talking about. Now I have loads of yummy fruit filling my tummy.

So until Saturday!

Love and Bugs
