First ramblings of 2010

Hello 2010 🙂 Its super lovely to meet you. 2009 has been the best year yet for me… I hope that you’re gonna help me have a bash at making this one awesome too ♥ I don’t have any ‘resolutions’ but I am going to make a promise to myself that any little (or big) goals that I set myself throughout the year, I’ll always see them through to the end. I want to continue to try and be a positive, loving and honest person, and make sure that my boyfriend, family and friends know how special they are to me. I want to open my eyes and take as much in of this big world we live in as humany possible! Graduate, travel, move away from home with my boy, and generally just saturate my life with as much inspiration, culture, and good times as I can. My reading with Margaret Solis has really set me in a good place emotionally, and by golly gosh I hope that everything she has foreseen for my future comes true 🙂 Do you ever make a wish at 11:11? For me it’s a habit that will never grow old.

I rang in the bells with my nearest and dearest, all cosy at home. With wolf blass rose wine, crisps and dips, whilst wrapped up in my m&s dressing gown next to prince charming 🙂 Was grand! The first film we watched in 2010 was The Hangover. Why had I never seen this before? I have no idea, but it was bloody hilarious.

The sales have seriously disappointed me this year 🙁 I’ve maybe spent about £50 at the most, and I wasn’t too excited about what I bought in all honesty. Yesterday I went into town and booked my MAC makeover for next week, and once it’s done I’ll spend my vouchers. I hope I dont end up looking like a drag queen and that the makeup does me a bit of justice… photos to follow next week. I have also jumped on the Lush bandwagon 🙂 David was going to buy me a hatbox for christmas but I eventually decided against it. Now Im really glad I did, because their deal thats on at the moment has worked out even better! So, I spent £20 on this….

Wild Child box:
up you gets emotibomb
whipstick lip balm
rock star soap
yummy yummy yummy shower cream
sugar babe sugar scrub

and I also got the comforter bubble bar
and you’ve been mangoed bath melt
to make it up to £20.

Now, this is what I got absolutely free!

Bathtime favourites tin:
Think Pink
Blackberry Bath Bomb
Butterball
Big Blue
Honey Bee
Avobath
So White
Lil Lush Pud
Cinders

RRP at£24.95, getting these gorgeous 9 bath bombs for free was definately a treat 🙂 The woman let me choose, but I’ve heard that some people only got a lucky dip. They had a big table full of all the christmas boxes theyre ovb trying to get rid of. Youd be mental to choose a tiny box with like two products in it, when there was other big boxes there like this one. So if you havent taken advantage of this offer yet, and you love lush stuff or would even like to give it a try, then this is probs the best time to do it! Not bad eh. Plus, my room smells soooo good 😉 haha.

Poor wee Body Shop, I had deserted this old faithful for a while. Went to Silverburn shopping centre with David and got the Raspberry body butter for a fiver, and this cute wee glitter eyeliner for £1! Its made me lust after my old love for Urban Decay glitter liners 🙁 My mum used to read me little extracts from Anita Roddicks book ‘Business As Usual’ years ago, she was the founder of The Body Shop and is a truly inspiring woman. An environmentalist, activist, entrepreneur and mother. You can read more about her here. Makes me love the Body Shop even more.

On a completely different note, how cute is this Ice Cream? 🙂 I don’t tend to buy too many dvds these days, but UP is certainly one that will be getting added to my collection once its been released on dvd. Hope everyone has had a great start to the new year, and the new decade ♥
