WHAT MADE ME SMILE LAST WEEK #19

August 18, 2014 in LIFESTYLE, Uncategorized

The last few weeks have been difficult for me personally, so I have to admit that I did struggle when trying to think of what made me smile.

I’ve been enjoying the simple things in life- I cannot even count the number of films I’ve watched. Some great ones that I thoroughly recommend are Chef which is about how a restaurant chef gets to truly realise his passion for cooking and connect with his young son. I also really enjoyed Tammy which is a hilarious comedy with one of my favourite actresses Melissa McCarthy. She plays a down-trodden woman on a road trip (full of mishaps) with her eccentric gran. If horrors and thrillers are more your bag, Devils Due is a suspenseful film about a newlywed couple that get involved in the occult on their honeymoon.

I also got sent a very cute poster print from Chatterbox Walls. They have lots of designs that you can personalise with your own details. A small print (A4 size) is £14.99. I don’t think the print-out of the simple design I got is worth that much as I could have made it myself; but the more complicated designs on offer are definitely worth paying for as you couldn’t recreate anything like those at home easily.

a diary and notebook from Tesco

I also got myself some new stationery in Tesco. I found a great notebook in the sale for £5 that says ‘write, think, create’ on the front. I’m using this for planning my editorial calendar and for post/article ideas. I also got a new pink diary, as mine was too big and getting a bit messy. I love fresh new things to write in.

PR sample — You’ll have seen a lot of this pro PR sample — You’ll have seen a lot of this product over the last couple of weeks & it’s for good reason. It very much is, indeed, a miracle. In just 8 seconds, as your conditioner, this will give you the smoothest, sleekest, softest hair you’ve ever had. I’ve just ordered 2 more bottles.
🙌🏻
The L’Oreal Dream Lengths 8-Second Wonder Water is £9.99 and you’ll get no more than 10 applications per bottle, but it sure is ‘worth it’. Wonder Water is a breakthrough damaged hair treatment, in a rinse-out liquid conditioner formula that’s powered by Lamellar Water Technology. Moisturising agents and amino acids target dry, damaged areas of hair, forming thin layers called Lamella to smooth hair’s surface instantly transforming lengths for silkier, shinier and healthier-looking hair. 
🙌🏻
I’m honestly not sure I’ll ever use another conditioner again. You need it, go buy it. Now, now, now!

PR sample — There’s only a few more days to ge PR sample — There’s only a few more days to get your hands on this month’s epic @mintdbox - it’s a fantastic box this month, as usual. Now is the time to jump on board as a subscriber as I’ve been told March’s box is a super special one!
💗
In February’s box you get 4 full-size luxury skincare products (worth £212) for just £70! We all need some self-care time at the moment & that’s the theme of this month’s box!
💗
The Oskia Renaissance Mask is a cult favourite & I’ve loved it for years. It’s a thick lush balm that you lather on your face, leaving it for 20 mins to do it’s amazing exfoliation & radiance-boosting work. The Kora Organics Noni Bright Vitamin C Serum brightens, boosts skin elasticity, diminishes the appearance of lines and hydrates the skin too. The Aromatherapy Associates Rose Bath & Shower Oil is a heavenly treat. I apply it around my shoulders and chest, breathing  in the calming aroma, before getting into the shower. Finally, Prismologie’s Rose Quartz & Rose Balm soothes your mind and nourishes the skin on your body. It leaves you with a little bit of lustre too 💫

PR samples — Both of these new luxury fragrance PR samples — Both of these new luxury fragrance launches landed on my doorstop on Saturday and I’m OBSESSED! 
♥️
I know the @lancomeofficial Idole scent well, but the unique slim-line flat bottle has just been released as LE edition, emblazoned with words of love. It’s a delicate feminine floral with rose & jasmine.
♥️
The new @jimmychoo I Want Choo fragrance is just dreamy! It has one of my most favourite fragrance notes in it - jasmine sambac. This is a sweet, light floral with a bit of a mood to it. Notes of lily, peach, vanilla, benzoin & orange too.
♥️
