The Great Sample Survival Experiment Week Three

Hello,
I have had a pretty rubbish day today so its lovely to get home, sip on a large glass of wine, light a scented candle and just relax.
I'm still going strong with my Sample Survival Experiment and I'm really enjoying it. I've discovered some really nice products and found myself loving a few that I never thought I would.
This week I have been working my way through 6 different new samples as well as finishing off my Benefit Facial Emulsion which has kept me going for nearly two weeks now with daily use!

This week's samples:

Palmers Olive Butter Formula

Sisley Ecological Compound Day and Night

No 7 Body Polish

Charles Worthington Brilliant Shine Shampoo

Charles Worthington Brilliant Shine Conditioner

Comfort Zone Tranquility Cream

So we have a bit of a mixed bag this week but I think it has been the first week where I have really liked everything I've tried.

The Reviews:

Palmers Olive Butter Formula: I wasn't expecting to be keen on this sample because over all, Palmers isn't a make I'm all that fussed about, but this has been my favourite product by them by far. Much like the Cocoa Formula that I reviewed in week one *here* you need to use a reasonable amount of the cream to cover your body, but I think this is because it honestly does provide instant hydration. I find that my skin just drinks up Palmers creams. The Olive Butter Formula rubs in to skin with little effort and does not leave skin feeling at all greasy unlike the Cocoa equivalent. The smell is also very nice. It reminds me of holidays to Mallorca although I can't quite put my finger on why. Daniel says it smells like sun cream so that may be it. Over all, I rate this 4.5/5

Sisley Ecological Compound Day and Night: I am unsure about this product. Maybe I'm naive and just don't fully understand what it does, but to me, it seems to just be a face cream which you apply morning and night to keep skin looking young, well rested and revitalized. I didn't feel any sort of instant wow factor with this product and lost interest fairly quickly, partly due to not liking the smell, which was weirdly herbal. Although, that said, you need a very tiny amount to cover your face and when you have, the skin feels amazingly soft almost instantly. Over all, I rate this 3.5/5

No 7 Body Polish: My usual body scrub is Soap and Glory's Scrub Actually which has a rather abrasive formula so the softer feel of this scrub was a new sensation. The little scrubby particles are a lot smaller and more sparse than I am used to and the gel that they're contained in is nice and soothing which makes buffing comfortable and gentle. The smell is wonderful and even though the scrub is gentle, skin is left nice and soft. Rated 4/5

CharlesWorthington Brilliant Shine Shampoo: Another lovely sample. The Charles Worthington shampoo had a lovely smell that isn't dissimilar to Tresemme products. The shampoo lathered up quickly and easily in a way that some shampoos fail to do and left my hair feeling very soft as well as beautifully shiny. My only complaint is that I find the shape of the bottle rather annoying because I think it would be troublesome to get the last bit out of. Rated 4/5

Charles Worthington Brilliant Shine Conditioner: I have little to add to this that wasn't said about the shampoo. I find I usually need a large amount of conditioner on my rather large mane but I didn't need to use  all that much of this conditioner which was a nice bonus. I have the same issue with the bottle shape, but other than that, I adored this product. Rated 4.5/5

Comfort Zone Tranquility Cream: This is another sample from the Comfort Zone set that came with this month's She Said Beauty box. This set has really made me fall in love with Comfort Zone. The Tranquility Cream is an indulgent body cream that can be used all over the body. The formula applies as a cream but turns milky as you massage it in which feels ultra indulgent. The smell is a little strong but it is a relaxing, sweet scent that isn't unpleasant. Because the formula is milky, you don't need much product each time so the sachet is lasting me a nice long time. Rated 4/5

So, as you can see, a week of positive reviews and some lovely products. I feel like my posts are a little samey when I am enjoying all of the products, but I guess thats more important than whether I'm sounding a bit like a broken record in my weekly round up.

Have you tried any of these products? What have you been using up this week?

March Lust List

Hello,
I cannot believe that it's April already! Oh how time flies. Its lovely to see the flowers coming out again and the leaves starting to pop out on the trees. Its beautiful.
I'm currently trying my absolute hardest to save money at the moment, but every girl can dream right, so here is a few of the things I have been lusting over in March.

1. The beautiful Pure Evoke radio designed by Orla Kiely really needs to be in my life.

2. I'd love to pick up one of the Simple make-up corrector pens because I love the concept.

3. The new line from French Connection, featuring this lace dress, is all wonderful.

4. This gorgeous owl jumper from Topshop. We all know I love owls!

5. I really love the new No7 collaboration with Poppy King, and this lip crayon in "dancing" is my total favourite.

6. How funky are these Talullah Tu parrot earrings?!

7. These pretty striped jeans from Missguided are perfect for spring and summer.

8. Monsoon Fusion have released a sweet little collection called Bee Mine which donates some of its profit to help keep the bee's in the UK. I love this playsuit from the collection.

9. Neals Yard are also helping to save the bees with this new Limited Edition Bee Lovely hand cream and for every tube sold, £1 will be donated to saving the bees.

What have you been lusting over this month? Its taking  lot of restrain to not buy some of these goodies, but alas, my bank balance wouldn't be very happy with me if I did.

In other news, I received my SheSaidBeauty beauty box today, and goodness me, its a good one! I'll post about that tomorrow : )

The Weekly Wedding Fix #9

Hello,
Wednesday again. Doesn't time fly these days?!
This week for the Wedding Fix I have put together a lovely Destination Wedding theme for you in tribute to the beautiful weather that we've been having here in England recently.
Enjoy : )

1. Destination weddings are usually held in a hot location so you need to remember this when choosing a dress. A popular style to for destination weddings a Grecian dress which is very light and floaty. However, I have instead chosen this short, puffball dress as it is a more fun choice and allows you to show off your wonderfully sun kissed legs on your big day. If you're getting wed on a beach, it also avoids getting sand all over the hem of your dress.

2. I love this twist wrap dress from Dessy. The dress can be styled in many different ways to suit all of your bridesmaids and it is available in lots of lovely colours. The material is also easy to care for and will not crinkle easily which is an important consideration for a destination wedding.

3. Guests may become a little over heated if your wedding is held out doors or in a sunny room so these brightly coloured paper fans make the perfect favour for your guests. The handle can also be personalised so that people will always remember your big day.

4. It is likely to be difficult arranging flowers for a destination wedding so instead, why not make use of a beautiful parasol as an alternative option that is ultra feminine and will also keep the sun off your face, avoiding any heat related make-up malfunctions. You can get these in any colour under the sun so you are sure to find a beautiful parasol for you and your girls.

5. Destination weddings bring to mind visions of dreamy fruit cocktails for me and there is a whole host of wonderful options available to you. You could choose a drink that is a popular local choice or go for something more classic. I have chosen the Bahama Mama which is a Jamaican classic and truly delicious.

6. Footwear always provides a little dilemma when abroad I find. For smart occasions I want to wear beautiful shoes but my feet just get so uncomfortable. For a style that is both smart and comfortable, why not consider beautiful floral sandals similar to these from Office? They will stay comfy in the heat all day and allow feet to breathe, whilst still being fitting for the event.

7. To follow on from the theme of travel at your reception, you can make good use of luggage tags or labels as place settings. If you only have a small party of guests, you could even get them specially personalised as an extra touch.

8. The cake is another part of the day that can be problematic to plan from the UK but by rule you should remember that you will not need a large cake because you are likely to have less guests at a destination wedding, and people also have suppressed appetites in hotter weather. It would be wise not to choose a chocolate decorated cake unless you are sure it will be kept in a well air conditioned room until being served and over all. As a different option, why not try a local bakery on your pre-wedding trip to the area and ask them to provide individual cakes or pastries for the wedding.

So there we have a beautiful destination wedding. I hope you enjoyed this one because I loved putting it together.

I'll be back later with some photos of the lovely girls day out I had with my friend Kassi today and what I bought.

Photo a Week Challenge- Week Nine

Hello,
Its friday again (yayyy) and that means its time for another photo a week challenge entry.
This week the topic suited me perfectly. Planning.
I plan everything. In fact the book in the photo is my everything book and is filled with lists, plans, notes and general jottings about everything. I write a to do list in there every day, I plan all of the weeks posts for Three Little Buhos, I make note of things I love, I write down my thoughts when my head gets too full, and I add all sorts of other things too. The everything book is a god send!

I have the blogger statistics page open because I love seeing which of my posts are the most popular and which ones my lovely followers aren't interested in so that I can plan my future posts based on what you people like.
And of course there is Lolly the Grumpy Kitty keeping me company because I can't go anywhere or do anything without her following. I took this photo on my bed which is the best place in the world in her eyes, especially since she isn't usually allowed in the room.

Are you one of these people like me who need to plan everything? Or do I seem a little mad for being so overly organized?

The Weekly Wedding Fix #8

Hello lovelies,
Its that time of the week again so here we are for another Weekly Wedding Fix. This week in feeling the lovely spring vibes so I've put together a soft yellow wedding theme for you. Enjoy :)

1. A soft colour theme allows you to choose a pretty, delecate wedding dress. This fishtail gown with a lace overlay would look so pretty with any light clour theme and the fishtail adds a touch of fashionista edge.

2. Yellow is a very feminine, fresh colour but you need to be careful when choosing the style of dress as pale yellow is very easily made frumpy by an unflattering cut. This little dress from Forever 21 has a young looking, figure hugging cut.

3. Small scented candles make a sweet favour for your guests. If you were to burn the same scented candles during your wedding reception, the scent would also remind guests of your happy day.

4. Yellow is a tricky colour to pair up exactly, so instead of choosing yellow shoes for you and your bridesmaids, opt for either white or cream to match the wedding gown. These classic white courts from Office are perfect.

5. I love simple bouquets and I think that a pretty yellow bouquet of tulips tied simply with white ribbon would look stunning. And as they are a brighter shade than the other, softer shades of yellow, they will also stand out proudly.

6. Nature is beautiful. Bring it into your wedding theme with lemon name cards. They will look lovely and fresh sat on the table and guests can take them home after the event if they wish, if not, you can make use of them yourself.

7. The obvious choice of drink for this yellow themed wedding is freshly made lemonade. But because I can't resist a good cocktail, here is the recipe for spiked lemonade which tastes wonderful and is lovely and refreshing on a hot day.

8. With a lightly coloured wedding theme, it is possible to coat the cake with icing in a shade of the chosen theme colour. This yellow wedding cake shows this perfectly. The over all effect is sweet, tasteful and not over the top. Just be careful to go for a very light shade.

And there we have it, a pretty, light yellow wedding theme. I really like this one personally, especially the pretty cake and classic shoes. What do you think?

Photo a Week Challenge- Week Eight

Hello,
After a lovely day yesterday, today in Canterbury the weather is grey and cold which is a real shame, especially since this week's challenge title is Spring/Autumn. I had hoped to take a lovely photo of one of the many bunnies that come out and enjoy the sunshine here in spring but forgot my camera yesterday and the weather is against me today.

Instead I captured this rather gloomy photo. Whilst this photo alone is gloomy and not very reminiscent of spring, the changing of the seasons is always joined by a wonderful transformation in trees which I love. If you look closely at this photo you can see the beginning of the change as tiny buds are forming ready to burst open into new leaves ready for the spring. I can't wait.

Weekly Wedding fix #7

Hello,

Its time again for the Weekly Wedding Fix, and this week we have a pretty new header.

I'm sorry I'm posting this a day late. I travelled over to Canterbury from Bath yesterday and got here all worn out so went for a 30 minute nap which turned into me waking up at almost 10pm having fallen asleep at around 7 :S Oops!

Anyways, this week I have put together a pretty red wedding theme for you.

1. The obvious choice for a red bouquet is romantic red roses, but I think that this poppy bouquet makes a beautiful, less predictable arrangement. The slightly softer colour and visual appearance of the poppies also makes it a perfect choice for a less formal wedding.

2. This red Coast dress is a rather expensive choice for bridesmaids but the colour, style and length are wonderful. I often feel that full length bridesmaid dresses look a little too formal but the ruffles and edgy sweetheart style neckline counteract this and make it a beautiful and stylish choice.

3. This stylish cake offers an alternative to the traditional tiered cake decorated with royal icing and ribbons. Using small gemstones to add decoration to the cake is a lovely idea but you must remember that whoever is in charge of distributing the cake is aware that they are not edible and must be removed before being served. Alternatively, you could use edible silver balls to stud the cake and avoid the issue of removal afterwards.

4. I spotted these shoes at the weekend in Ted Baker and instantly fell in love. The photo does them no justice, they really are breathtaking. They are the perfect way to add a little glitz to your outfit. Think how lovely they would look amongst the white or ivy of a wedding dress for a fun and edgy alternative.

5. This eye catching cocktail is a Blood Orange Margarita. The beautiful red colour comes from the orange and would look wonderful against white table linen and crockery. The recipe is incredibly simple and sounds totally delicious.

6. With a red theme, it is very easy to go over the top when decorating tables. Instead of going all out and using red tablecloths, glassware, crockery and napkins and giving a complete over kill. Instead keep it light and use all white and just use a simple red floral arrangement as a centre piece and add small injections of colour such as a red napkin ring or red place settings. This cork name holder uses a simple red ribbon to add colour.

7. These sweet little heart shaped boxes filled with red chocolate treats will look beautiful on the table and also use the idea of just using very small amounts of the theme colour to create a light and pretty look.

8. Last but not least, is this beautiful wedding gown from Ian Stuart, my very favourite wedding dress designer. The Swan Lake inspired gown boasts layers of delicate tulle frills and graduates from a knee length skirt into a floor length train at the back. I think the soft, slightly unusual look of this gown works perfectly with this theme.

I hope you like this week's red theme, I had great fun putting it together, and I'm very sorry it's up a day later than planned.

Photo a Week Challenge- Week Seven

Hello,
Friday has come round once again and its time for another photo for the weekly photo challenge. This week the topic was below. I've been naughty this week and I'm afraid I haven't taken a new photo so I've had to use a photo I shot last year when I went interrailing with Daniel.

I love this photo. I shot it when we were staying at a campsite in Barcelona. I like that where I've shot it from below Daniel looks like some sort of giant :P

Looking back over the photos of our amazing trip has made me yearn for summer and sangria in the Spanish sun. I might have to pop up a post with more of the photos from the trip.
How are you anyway? Have you taken any good photos this week? What are you looking forward to this weekend?

Weekly Wedding Fix #5

Hello,
I've spent most of today travelling once again between Bath and Canterbury and this evening I'm relaxing with Daniel and our friend with a takeaway and a few glasses of Malibu and lemonade :)

This week I've put together a pretty golden wedding for you.

1.This beautiful dress from Phase Eight is a romantic yet sleek, understated design, and I think it would be the perfect choice for a golden wedding. The simple design allows the gold detailing to make a big impression and would look wonderful teamed with a boho inspired hairstyle.

2. Light gold is a sweet choice for the bridesmaid dresses which also have detailing in the fabric adding a pretty touch to the simple cut of the dress along with a touch of glamour. Darker gold dresses tend to be unflattering on certain skin tones so be careful when picking out your colour.

3. What girl can resist a pair of glittered up shoes? This light gold pair from Kurt Geiger are the perfect shade for this theme and they're currently in the sale. The across foot strap also makes them a comfier choice to party the night away in.

4. Elephants are considered to be very lucky in many cultures and this Lucky Elephant bookmark provides a lovely reminder for your guests of your big day whilst also showing them that you wish them well in the future. And lets face it, they're incredibly cute too!

5. Peonies are a traditional wedding favourite, and lets face it, they're beautiful. I love that this bouquet pairs the beautiful light peonies with fresh green buds which instantly lifts the whole display. A bunch of white roses would also be a romantic choice.

6. A gold theme allows you to go all out when it comes to extravagant decorations and this gold embellished cake shows that although too much gold can seem tacky, if you get the balance just right you can create a stunning effect that will wow your guests.

7. Charger plates are a beautiful way to carry your colour theme onto your tables. They add depth and visual interest to the table as well as making the overall effect more impressive. I really like the shining gold pattern on the crockery used here.

8. Believe it or not, this gentle peach cocktail is a take on the traditional Spanish drink, sangria. Made using peaches and vanilla beans it has a much softer, summery flavour and would be a lovely choice for a summertime wedding. 

And there we are for another week. I hope this post has given you some inspiration and that you're now ready to start planning your beautiful golden wedding day.

Photo a Week Challenge- Week Six

Hello,
Another week gone means it's time for another weekly photo challenge. This week was trickier because the topic given was Spirit which could be interpreted in lots of different ways.

 My photo has taken the term spirit as a cold and almost ghostly feel. This photo hasn't been edited in any way, it was honestly just so cold and grey that day that the effect of the light made the image almost grey scale.

What have you taken photos of this week? How would you capture the topic "spirit"?

The Weekly Wedding Fix #4

Hello,
Its time once again for the weekly take over from Sugar and Spice for The Weekly Wedding Fix.
I've always loved fairy tales and when I was growing up Snow White was one of my favourites. Bearing this in mind, this week our mood board is for a "Fairest of them All" wedding.

1. How could I create a Snow White inspired board without using Alfred Angelo's Snow White style 207 dress from his Disney Fairy Tale Wedding collection. A fairy tale wedding is the perfect opportunity to wear that dream princess dress.

2. Snow White dressed in blue and yellow and these royal blue courts are just the right shade to pair with the dark yellow bridesmaid dresses as well as becoming your something blue if you were to choose them for yourself.

3. I am a huge lover of homemade favours, they add a personal touch and show your guests that you have taken time and care to please them. These Apple Pie Pops are a cute take on the very popular cake pops. They will look lovely wrapped in a little cellophane and of course, as we know, when singing "One Day my Prince will Come" Snow White was merrily baking an apple pie!

4. When I saw this wedding cake, I just had to feature it. Simply decorated with blue ribbon and sugar pansies I think it is the perfect addition to this fairest of them all wedding. The sugar flowers reflect the sweet personality of every Disney princess as well as providing a laid back chic look for a modern wedding.

5. These apple place settings are a great way to guide your guests to their seats whilst staying on theme. They are also cheap and simple to create. To create the look of the traditional "poison apple" you should use a Red Delicious apple as they are a deep blood red colour. They would look very striking on a simply decorated table.

6. I've always been a fan of bright yellow bridesmaid dresses and this theme provides the perfect time to get your girls in sunshine bright dresses. This dress from The Dessy Group is a flattering style and length and in Mango is the perfect shade!

7. Looking sleek and elegant, this Poisoned Apple Martini is a great choice for a signature cocktail at your fairest of them all wedding. Smoother than a regular martini it uses apple schnapps to give a sweet apple flavour.

8. Dark red roses always make for a beautiful bouquet. They stand out beautifully against the white of a wedding gown and the deep red colour exudes passion and romance. Pair with deep red lipstick for a real show stopping look whilst also echoing Snow White's "lips red as blood".

Would you ever consider choosing a fairy tale theme for your wedding? Or do you feel that this would be a strange choice? I would love to hear what you think :)

The Weekly Wedding Fix #3

Hello,
Its time for the weekly takeover from Sugar and Spice for the Weekly Wedding Fix.
Last week I was asked for some help with finding the right bridesmaid dress for a purple themed wedding so I thought it would be the perfect time to do a purple themed mood board.

1. This dress by Benjamin Roberts is a feminine choice. In my personal opinion, a lighter shade of purple is more fitting than a dark shade for a wedding as it is fresher and more romantic. This lace dress really suits a light theme as it is very soft and dainty.

2. Rather than going over the top with purple table clothes at the wedding reception, a more gentle way to bring the theme to the table is with the use of crockery either with a purple pattern, like in the image above, or alternatively you could use purple glasses or purple charger plates. (I'm very sorry but I forgot to save the source of this image, if you know where it is from then let me know, thanks!)

3. It can prove difficult to match bridesmaid shoes to the colour of their dresses so why not opt for shoes in a complementary colour? I love the look of gold shoes with a purple dress. Similarly silver or nude shoes would look just as charming.

4. Purple is a fairly difficult colour to wear, but the rule is that the darker the shade of the dress, the better it would suit a darker complexion. Those with fair skin should wear a light dress if possible or if you have your heart set on a darker tone then maybe you could treat your bridesmaids to a spray tan to give their complexion a sun-kissed glow that would work well with a darker dress. Purple dresses also work best in shorter lengths so keep your eye out for a knee length number.

5. How cute are these little purple chocolate lollipops? They are the perfect token gift to your guests and could also double up as place settings with a label affixed to their stick.

6. Purple bouquets can be stunning. I think they are at their best when left looking a little wild. Building in several different varieties of flower as well as a selection of shades can work well if assembled in a wild way. It is also a good idea to break the colour up with white flowers and greenery.

7. A purple wedding cake would most likely look a little over kill, especially at an elegant wedding, so instead, a good choice would to be to opt for a white cake and then decorate this with touches of your chosen shade. This could be done with ribbon or, like above, using purple flowers matching the floral arrangements.

8. There is a lot of scope with a purple wedding theme to develop a gorgeous looking and tasting feature cocktail. Purple Rain is a classic cocktail that tastes great and has a fantastic flavour. You may want to consider the risk involved reguarding stained clothes at the hands of a spillage however!

Well there we have it for this week. I hope I have given you some inspiration for your beautiful, purple themed wedding. If you have any advice for other readers then please comment, I'd love to hear from you :)

From the Scrapbook #3

Hello,

The time of week has come once again for another From the Scrapbook post. With valentine's day almost upon us, this week I have put together some Valentine's themed scraps for you to use.

This sweet "forever yours" tag was made using the Shabby Blogs Madelyn Kit that you can download for free over at their blog. It would look adorable on your valentines gift and the light colours make it a less garish choice. Save as a JPEG or PNG file.

This polaroid style photo frame provides a cute way to scrapbook the perfect photo of you and your loved one on valentines day. Save as a PNG file to keep the frame transparent for your scrapbooking needs :)

 This tongue in cheek gnome tag is perfect for a less serious gift. And who doesn't love a comedy garden gnome? Save as a JPEG or PNG file and then print for the perfect comedy gift tag.

Finally, we have the virtual love note. For those of you not lucky enough to be able to see your loved one this valentines day, I have created the virtual love note which has space for you to add a photo, a small romantic message or caption for the photo and space for you to add "10 things I love about you". I think an email containing this would be a lovely treat on Vday. Save as a PNG file.



I hope you like this weeks offerings, and as always, I'd love to hear if you use any of these creations :)
Have a great day!

The Weekly Wedding Fix #2

Hello there,
Wednesday again so time for another Weekly Wedding Fix. This week the theme is A White Wedding. I really enjoyed putting this one together, I love the idea of a totally white wedding, so romantic and sophisticated :)

1. I think white weddings are gorgeously glamourous so a classic A-line dress like this satin Maggie Sottero gown would be a perfect choice.

2. Aren't these Red Herring heels amazing? There are so many pairs of lovely white shoes out there, and unlike a colour themed wedding, there is no hassle of making sure they do not clash with other clothing or flowers.

3. When choosing white dresses for your bridesmaids, my main piece of advice is to only look at shorter length dresses. Choosing a full length number will subtract from the impact of your wedding dress, and no bride wants that on her big day! I found this simple yet beautiful dress *here*

4. There is the potential to make your tables look stunning using a simple white theme. By using glass charger plates as well as simple white crockery and lighting the table with plenty of tea lights the table will look warm and glowing.

5. White bouquets look elegant and feminine and my personal favourites are the ones using just one or two different type of flower. Using flowers with a coloured centre or adding lots of greenery to the bouquet keeps it looking cute and fresh.

6. A beautiful white wedding calls for a beautiful white cake. With such a simple theme, it is possible to choose a truly sensational, decorated cake without the effect looking too much. This flowery cake would look show stopping in your elegant reception venue.

7. These little white pails can be filled with sweets, chocolates, the traditional sugared almonds or even planted with a small plant and would make lovely favours for guests that can be used by them again after the event.

8. Clear cocktails are the perfect choice for this theme. They are just as exciting in flavour and as an added bonus, if spilt they won't stain clothing or tablecloths! This recipe for a Sake Champagne Mojito would be a unique and refreshing option.


Is a white wedding a theme that you would choose for your big day? I love the idea but I just *love* colours too much, I know mine will be packed with colour. How about you? What themes are you considering?

Ta Da

Hello!
So here we are, the new look blog with a cute new name :) What do you think?
I had a little bit of a panic when I tried to change the url and realised that would mean losing all followers and starting again (eep!) but all is good now and the old url is back.

So lets kick off with some information about the new features I have planned for you :)

From the Scrapbook:
From the scrapbook is a weekly feature that I will add every Sunday with some fun little virtual scraps for you to use in your projects and  lovely blog headers to brighten up your page.








A Photo a Week Challenge:
The weekly photo challenge is Friday's weekly feature and will have a photo added each week under a different topic.








The Weekly Wedding Fix:
In this feature, to be posted every Wednesday (to cheer us girlies up midweek!) I will provide a weekly inspiration mood board for every wedding theme you could wish for.

The Lust List:
The lust list is a monthly feature to be added at the end of each month showing a rundown of my top lusted after items from the last few weeks.
Expect designer handbags, sex-u-al shoes and kooky home wares :)

As well as these I will also be adding the odd recipe, reviews of any particularly good books I read and most likely, some of my random musings.

And there we have it, one new and improved blog. Let me know what you think. Which feature are you most looking forward to? We start off tomorrow with "From the Scrapbook"!
