Blogger Bargains

I'm sorry I'm so late in bringing you the second part of the #BloggersDoItBetter Challenge, I have been thinking of lots of ideas but simply couldn't bring myself to write the post, until one day, shopping in Sainsburys, I came across these bargains and had to share them with you all. This is also (sort of) my first haul on Tinkerbell Kelly so I hope you enjoy...

Phil Smith Big It Up Volume Boosting Spray

Personally, I have not heard about this brand before. The fact that nearly every product was on promotion makes me wonder if it is a new brand, not a clue, if you know please enlighten me! I have been looking for a product to help my hair get some volume, however all of the products I have heard of have been fairly pricey. When I saw this at half its original price I decided 'let's give it a try' and so far I have been suitably impressed.

Nivea Soft Moisturising Cream

I recently started using this half used tube of Nivea cream that my friend didn't need any more and have become ob-sessed! I use it on my face and my hands and can honestly say my face has felt amazingly soft since! I have previously used the Simple moisturiser which I have always sworn by, but this is on another level of softness. Even softer than a baby's bottom!! Therefore, I was off to repurchase it (the whole reason I was in Sainsburys) when I saw that it was reduced by a third, so naturally bought the bigger pot!

Dirty Works Buttery Salt Scrub

Whilst down the bath aisle, I saw all of the Dirty Works products. Straight away, the packaging reminded me of Soap and Glory products, though my immediate assumption was that its a cheaper version of it. All of their products were on offer for £2 each so I decided to purchase this to try and get my skin feeling nice and soft ready for summer. I have used it once so far and it literally feels like you're rubbing coarse sea salt over your body. Lovely. The effects afterwards are definitely worth it though. Just make sure that's the last thing you do in the bath unless you want to feel like you're having a bath on a bed of sandpaper!

Dirty Works Bath Soak

This is the second Dirty Works £2 purchase I made. I have been needing a new 'bubble bath' and this caught my eye and smells lovely!

Have you tried any of these products? What do you think?

Liebster Award | Part Three

Welcome to Part Three of the Liebster Award! If you keep up with my posts, you will know that I was nominated THREE(!) times for this so I decided to separate my answers in to three different posts to make for easier reading!

My last nomination comes from Rosie from Rosie's Cottage. Here I will be answering her questions...

1. What's your favourite movie?
How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days

2. What's your favourite Book?
Harry Potter or Hunger Games

3. What makes you laugh?
I have a lack of common sense, so tend to ask stupid questions, then laugh!! Also Martin makes me laugh ALL the time. A quality in him which I love.

4. Music? what/who do you like to listen to?
This is a very common question as I've answered in on previous Posts and Tags. I listen to Chart music the most.

5. What's your favourite season? Are you a summer person, or do you prefer Spring? Winter? Autumn?
The periods at the beginning of Spring and beginning of Summer.

6. How much time do you spend working on your blog?
Not as much as I should. OOPS!

7. What is your favourite quote?

Laughter is Timeless. Imagination has no age. Dreams are forever.

8. Who inspires you? Who do you most admire?
This question has been on all three of my Liebster Award questions! How interesting. Here is my answer:
Noone in particular. I see people that inspire me all of the time. People that work hard to achieve what they want in life.

9. If you could change anything in the world, what would it be?

I would change all of the discrimination in the world to people just because of their race/ homosexuality/ disability/ beliefs.... the list could go on. Nobody should have a preconceived opinion on someone based on these. This is a topic which I strongly believe in. 

10. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would be your dream home?
Haha in Part Two I said this was a recurring Topic: DUBAI 

11. What's your favourite food?
Pastaaaaaaaa! I love love love it!

Liebster Award | Part Two

Welcome to Part Two of the Liebster Award! If you keep up with my posts, you will know that I was nominated THREE(!) times for this so I decided to separate my answers in to three different posts to make for easier reading!

My next nomination comes from the most local blogger I have found (ha!), Shani from Fierce Obsession. Here I will be answering her questions...

1/ What’s the one bit of advice you would give to someone starting a new blog?

Definitely stick to what you believe in and want to write about. It shows if you are blogging about something no of interest to you. Stay true to yourself.

2/ Who inspires you? 

This was a previous question on Part One. I have no specific person who inspires me, I meet/see people all the time who inspire me!

3/  Where in the world would you most like to live?
At the moment I really want to live and work in Dubai for a year. (Recurring topic ha!)

4/ What do you do in your day job?
I work with children, every day is different and they come out with the most wonderful things!

5/ If you could only eat one meal everyday for the rest of your life what would it be?
Pasta! No thinking time needed for me there.

6/ Besides blogging, what’s your favourite thing to do?
Go on lovely exploring walks with my Boyfriend.

7/ What's your favourite type of music?
Mmmm I like music that is in the charts! 

8/ How would you describe your style?
I would describe it as boring, but that's me!

9/ If you could be anything in the world, what would you be?
I would absolutely love to be able to afford to be a stay at home mum/ house wife. As weird as that sounds!

10/ What is your one beauty must-have?
Okay first I thought Foundation, because I have such uneven skintone. But then I thought 'What about Mascara?' In truth.. I don't know! Cheating I know sorry!

11/ If you could ban a word or phrase from ever being used again, what would it be? 
YOLO!!!!!!!!! Oh my goodness. No explanation needed. (Brilliant question!)

Wreck This Journal | Update 2

Hello you! Welcome back to my Wreck This Journal experience. If you haven't seen my first two posts you can find the Introduction Here and Update One Here.

I have had some time to sit down and work through some of the instructions given to me in my Journal. I have to say, that as I am working through them, I am still choosing the 'easier' instructions, forgetting that if I do all of these now, I will eventually have to do all of the 'messier' ones together!! But for now take a nosy at my results...

This took a LOT longer than I had anticipated it would! My hand hurt so much by the end of it and I must say I think its really pretty. What was the title of the book again?  'Wreck Beautify This Journal' That's more my cup of tea!

I don't know about you, but I am SUPER impressed with this Left hand writing of mine!! I haven't tried for ages to write with my left hand so I was surprised when the writing turned out to be legible! The flowers are a little dodgy so clearly I'm better at writing than drawing with my left hand!

My Happy Prescription

At the weekend, Martin and I embarked on an adventure on two wheels! Yep, we went on a bike ride. We actually both have bikes of our own, only Martin's is broken and we had no way of transporting them to where we wanted to go so we hired a couple. Now I LOVE bike rides, the breeze running through my hair, feeling like you're going super fast (even though you're probably dawdling), the ability to cover such a wide space in a small amount of time. However, I had not been on one for a while.... Needless to say, I had very sore legs (and bottom!) after the hour hire time! I had such an amazing time though and where we went all you could hear was the birds and the wind in the trees.

If you need a way to relax and feel good about yourself, I definitely prescribe you some fresh air, sunshine and exercise. It does wonders. As always, the camera came along, so below are some moments we captured. I hope you are well and enjoy.....

Bundles of Furry Happiness

Hi you! I had some snuggly times with these little munchkins and they were being so cuddly! Particularly Teddy who constantly wanted to be nushkled under Buster. I took these and thought I'd share them with you as they put a big smile on my face so I hope they do you as well!

1. What is top of your wishlist right now?

Naked 3 Palette. Bit behind on the times but I recently have wanted it lots again!! 

2. What's your one desert island beauty product?
