Lush, Sandstone soap.

This is one of my favourite Lush soaps.

Found here.

What they say about it:
"Sandstone soap has a layer of sand and the seductive citrus scent of a caipirinha cocktail. Sand exfoliates your body as you wash and you'll be left with the lingering smell of lemons and tropical beaches'

This soap leaves my skins super soft i love the texture and it lasts a really long time. It has a pleasant slight lemon smell. I also find it quiet cool looking at the sand in the bath as it reminds me of being at the beach when i was younger.

Lush BARGINS!!!

I went to Lush very early on Boxing day (so early they weren't even open major fail!) and picked up some amazing bargins.

I bought so much but am soooo happy with it.

My weekend.

Ah its Wednesday and im finally doing my weekend, i think this whole working thing is taking its toll on me!

I had a pretty boring weekend this time round Kirk went and watched the Everton game with his sister on Saturday arvo and on Sunday i went and did some grocery shopping.

On Saturday morning though after recieveing the news about my mutch loved Grommit i had to head to town to open a bank account and of course do a little bit of shopping!

I also got a outfit of the day for you : )



This is me and my good friend Hello Kitty, she is wearing a lovely one off pink dress is white detail, white tights and pink shoes. Im wearing my Everton shirt which is strippy but from this picture (off Kirks phone) looks rather odd! Jeans and blue flats i have my Toy watch and Pandora on and am using a vintage bag that i bought at cow for 4.00pounds.

Now to my shopping, I bought these shoes from New Look on Friday after seeing them and going away to have a think. They cost me about 22.00pounds. I wore them yesterday they where so comfortable especially for new shoes!

And i finally got my Topshop gloves!!!! Well these are my second pair as my first ones broke but they exchanged them for me. They are lovely so worth the 6.00pounds!

I went to Lush again and this time asked for a bath bomb that would make me happy. I will reveiw this over the weekend!

Then i went to Primark, as you all know im not a full on primark lover but buying 4 things that i needed and coming away with change from a 20.00pound note is always something to smile about!

I got these little house slippers, my new house is all lino floor so i need something to keep my feet warm seeing as summer has now gone!

I got this huge, thick, yummy and warm cardi. A girl (Jenni) in my class wears something similar and i really wanted a big thick one. I tried on one in Topshop but for 35.00 pounds i had to think about it. Then i found this baby for 7.00 pounds and to be honest i really dont think the quality is much different.

Another Topshop look alike is this snood. You would have seen something like this featured in one of my "What i want from topshop" posts. I looked at the one in Topshop again because of it being 15.00pounds and my money being a little tight i had to contemplate. This was 4.00pounds from Primark. Not as nicer pink as the Topshop one but im more than happy with it!

Last but not least, i always buy my Pjs from Primark and i need a new set! These where 6.00pounds and they are super duper soft!!! I really wanted one of those all in one things you see in there window but due to them being so long you could fit me 3 times over in them. Maybe i should look in the kids section???

These where 6.00pounds.

I think all these bargins are great, what do you think?

Are you happy to buy dupes of things from Primark?

This weekend im headed to the Matthew street festival, one of my friends from work is playing with his band. Are any of you headed?

Doing a little more shopping, Oh dear!

It is currently 6am and I'm up eating my whole grain, wheatgerm, dried fruit and apricot mix and blogging who would have ever thought!
So on the weekend i did lots and lots of shopping, mainly of the food and house hold item kind but i did manage to pick up a few little goodies for myself.


On Saturday i went to Urban Outfitters and Lush. I got the tights that i featured in my "what i want Urban Outfitters" the other week. There really nice and i wore them yesterday to my first day of work (sorry there is no outfit i had no time in the morning and i forgot at night but as soon as I'm dressed today i will endeavor to take a decent one, wheres the bf when you need him hey?).

In Lush i had to buy a soap again this is only my second ever purchase from lush so i asked the sales consultant for some help. I like gritty soap so i got the sand stone one which has actual sand in it. To which my lovely boy friend replied "Alex don't you know sand gets stuck everywhere!"

I have used it once and will do a review when I'm finished!

On Sunday we ventured into this little lollie/sweet shop that opened maybe about a month ago in Liverpool near Central station. It is so beautiful inside and there choice is AMAZING!!! The bags are 99p per 100g so i think that's pretty good. I'm Alex and I'm a gobstopper addict!!!

Then i was bound for Boots, i needed to buy some kind of product for my hair and i decided with TRESemme heat defence only because i have used it before. I will become more adventurious when this is done. I got the Gosh primer because i need one and people seam to rave about this. I also bought a little eye shadow brush and a Bourjois blush in Rose.

Again i will review all these at a later date when i have used them all.

Then yesterday was my first day at work, i had a great time and all the people are so lovely. We did although get let out early and because i was meeting Kirk in Liverpool i had some time to kill so in comes Topshop and there sale which Kirk had steered me clear of all weekend. It was like a normal Topshop sale shear MADNESS! Stuff everywhere, crazy women but as the really nice guy behind the counter said "its all in a days work!"

I picked up this little number after seeing it screwed up on the floor. Its a little Playsuit with hearts all over it and heart detail buttons. I'm so excited about it as i don't own a playsuit and also i considered ordering this in the online sale but they only had 10s which this is not!

At 12.00pounds I'm going to wear it on Friday for dress down day whooooo.

How where your weekends?

Have any of you hit up the Topshop sale?

A little shop.

Yesterday i went to Manchester with the little boy i look after (will post some photos about that soon) we did although get stuck in the Arndale centre for just under 2 hours due to heavy rain and at time hail!
Tragic i know!

So i dragged him to both Lush and Boots for my first Lush and Soap and Glory purchases.
Here is what i bought!


From Lush i picked up the Bubblegum lip scrub, i saw this on a blog (I'm sorry i cant remember which one) and i thought that looks yummy and guess what IT IS!!!! Its made with icing sugar and smells amazing. I have used so much already its kinda insane. It costs 4.50pounds and i will be buying more when I'm finished.

My Soap and Body purchase was made due to much pressure from Jess (Good morning beautiful her blog can be found in my side bar) i purchased a travel size of the Hand food. It feels good on my hands but due to me having a really really bad sense of smell i cant seam to smell it which is a little disappointing but I'm sure it smells amazing i just cant smell it. I will be buying more Soap and Glory when i can. It was 2.50pounds from Boots.



Also: I have almost hit 50 followers in under a month (i love you guys) so i will be doing a tiny little giveaway to show some appreciation when i get there!
