WHAT MAKES ME HAPPY?

The lovely Louise at Get Lippy has a birthday giveaway on so check it out. She wants to know what makes other people happy so here goes my happiness boosters
  1. My Family, just spending time with them makes me happy. Seeing my beautiful children grow up.
  2. Hugs, i think hugs are very underestimated and a hug definitely makes me happy.
  3. Holidays, i love going away I've not been for a few years but am going to Las Vegas soon and am so excited about it.
  4. Time for myself makes me really happy. I don't get a huge amount of time to myself anymore but when i do it's bliss.
  5. Dancing, i love to dance and shake my stuff on the dance floor.
  6. Cheesecake ohh how i love cheesecake if i didn't know it would make me the size of a house i could sit and eat cheesecake all day just a spoonful makes me deliriously happy.
There are loads of other things that make me happy like shopping, spending time with friends, cuddling up with hubby on sofa and drinking a glass of wine. It's always the small things in life that make us the happiest. On that positive note i'm off to bed so night night my lovelies xx

Pastel Collection 2000 nails





So here is my little buy of 3 of collection 2000 polishes. They cost under £2 each and were on 342 so an absolute steal.
I don't know how long they will last on my nails but at that price who cares.
I like to change my nails every few days anyway as there are so many colours to choose from.
This photo is with three coats. My favourite is the Mint Mojo.


Then i decided to do some grey based eyeshadow to go with the Grey Wham colour and please excuse the makeup because it's been on 11hrs so i have a real glow going on.
On the brighter side my friend has just been and commented on how good my skin is looking which always made me happy.happy.
Compliments hey always guaranteed to make you smile.

I cant get enough of these polishes and at a bargain price like that then it's guilt free pleasure all round.
Yes i know i'm shiny but thought you might still like to see anyway xx

Bargain Facial Wipes for Problem Skin

These facial wipes have now become my favourite wipes which i use all the time. They are such a bargain as they are from asda and cost only 78p a pack in which you get 25 wipes.
The wipes contain tea tree oil and witch hazel which are both known to help problem skin as they are anti bacterial and also help to reduce redness and calm the skin.
I have very hormonal skin which often breaks out with spots but since using these i feel they have really helped control my outbreaks.

Asda sometimes have these on offer as well at 3 4 2 which really makes them cheap as chips.
I know facial wipes are not ideal and i often question myself as to why i am not using the traditional method of a cleansing wash or cream more often.
But if you are a busy mum like me or come in from a night out then sometimes you need something for a quick fix and these are perfect for the job.
I also remove my eye makeup with them and i find them very gentle i don't get any stinging or irritation which is a bonus.
If you suffer with outbreaks then i highly recommend trying these as they are about a quarter of the price of most wipes and in my opinion just as good if not better,.
