I'm a winner/latest in beauty/beauty challenge!

Afternoon sugar plums! The postman has just been & i'm rather chuffed with what i recieved :) A few days ago i won 3rd prize in a giveaway that rachel over at life of a sweetaholic was holding. I can't believe how quickly it came! The prize was a lovely little french manicure set :) Imagine my suprise when i opened up the package and rachel had also kindly put in some choccies and a christmas card! The manicure set and choccies were wrapped in christmas paper too. Thankyou so much hun, i love my prizes ♥

A few days ago i signed up to latest in beauty, not sure if you have heard of it. Basically you pay £1 from your mobile phone and they send you 3 samples of your choice. I've never had the glossy box or anything similar, but decided to give this a go. I must say i'm quite impressed. The samples came in a pretty pink box, with a letter explaining which samples were for what etc. I recieved exactly what i asked for - nicky clarke shampoo & conditioner (which only counts as 1 sample!), skin doctors eye tuck (they sent me 2!) and a hugo boss sample for my fiance to try (can leave him feeling left out can we!) Along with a few leaflets about the companies the product samples are by, i also got 20% off nicky clarke products!! The only catch is you must review what you recieved on thier website before you can order another box, but i quite enjoy writing reviews anyway :) Not bad for £1 eh?!

Advent Calender/Klorane Review/Beauty Challenge!

Hello my darlings! All well i hope :) I've had a pretty good weekend so far, been flat sitting with my fiance ♥ Only 5 days left till my birthday too! :) Thanks to everyone who has voted in my poll so far, if you haven't you can find it on the left hand side of my blog and if you haven't already entered my giveaway check it out here! Looking forward to the #bbloggers chat on twitter tonight, see you all there ;)

Anyways it's the 4th, so you know what that means ...

Another day in advent calender land!

And it is ... a pink hairband/scrunchie!

hehe i like :)

Now on to my completely unrelated review :p

Klorane are a plant-based hair care brand. They sent me a couple of samples to try out, so i decided to review them. Thier website tells you all about the history of the company and what thier mission is etc, so check it out here if you're interested.

Chamomile Shampoo & Conditioner

The shampoo came in a cute little bottle and i didn't even need to use half of it, so the company sent me a very fair amount. The shampoo smells very strongly of chamomile, but it's not unpleasant. It had a similar consistancy to johnson's baby shampoo and was okay to use. Just a bog-standard shampoo really.

Rate - 5/10

According to klorane the conditioner is supposed to be great for damaged hair, but i have damaged hair and i can honestly say this is the worst conditioner i have ever tried. The conditioner was way too thick (more like a hair mask) and the only difference it made to my hair was it made it feel dry and left it in a tangled mess.

Rate - 1/10

Maybe if i had blonde hair these would have worked better for me, but i don't and i'm not impressed by these products.

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree! x

Morning you gorgeous lot! Hope you're all well :) I had a lovely afternoon putting the christmas tree up with my parents yesterday. I've not smiled like that in quite a while, i am well and truly in the christmas spirit :)  Normally i get bored within 5 mins of starting to put the tree up, but this year i didn't. I think it looks beautiful ♥

Anyways i bet you can't wait to see what i got in my advent calender today, so without further ado ...

It is emerald green nail polish!

Drum roll please!

And it is ... a cute little pudsey bear keyring!! :)

Since I didn't post a pic of my hamster ruby yesterday, here is one of her with her advent calender ♥

Still haven't managed to get a pic of my kitty cat with hers, but as soon as i do i shall post it!

I didn't do the 30 day challenge for like 5 days, so here are the remaining one's :)

Day 26 – What you think about your friends

As i've mentioned before i don't have many real friends, plenty of fakes who are only there for the good times & disappear when something crappy happens. At the moment i'm pretty annoyed with my 'best' friend, so lets just not go there lol.

Day 27 – Why are you doing this 30 day challenge

I am doing this challenge because i saw it on a few other people's blogs & it looked like fun.

Day 28 – A picture of you last year and now, how have you changed since then?

This is me in like spring/summer 2010. Since then i have put tons of weight on, had my hair cut alot shorter & i think i've grown up quite abit too.

Day 29 – In this past month, what have you learned

I have learned that friends do not have to be people you see everyday or even be people you have met. I have come across so many great people in the last month through blogging it's unbelievable.

Day 30 – Your favorite song.

Who you are by Jessie J

Happy First Of December!!

Morning Sweeties! Hope you've all whipped open your advent calenders, i know i have! :p Oh i'm getting so excited for christmas now, what do you think of my new background? hehe. Anyways i took some pics of the advent fun in my house, hope you like :p

This is my first advent calender. My mum wraps little pressies up & puts one in each pocket.

Oh the suspense is killing me, what could it be?

And it is ... a little purse shaped lipgloss!

So cute ♥

This is my second advent calender, a regular hello kitty one :)

Unfortunately i didnt get to eat my little christmas tree shaped choccie , as i dropped it & my doggy snaffled it! :/ lol.

Eventhough he has his own calender, the greedy guts!!

My kitty cat amber hasn't yet ventured out of her nice warm bed to open her advent calender, but my doggy tinker couldn't wait! :p

Here he is looking up at his calender on the wall, waiting for his treat :)

Bless him ♥

I got my hamster ruby a calender too, but she lives at my fiance's house so i will give her it later :)

Hope you enjoyed reading!
