Fun by Lush

I recently went to Lush in Wimbledon to indulge in their beautifully fragrant bath bombs and bath beauties. The haul is coming soon!

Whilst there I discovered a really cool product not only great for the bath but also for kids!

I bought the fun bath putty that can be made into cool shapes! Versatile and mouldable, it’s called Fun which can be soap, shampoo, bubble bath or whatever you want it to be – the only limit being your imagination.

I was very intrigued and it piqued my interest as it had many possibilities!

It is like play dough (but in soap form) that kids can have fun creating whatever shapes or figures they want, whether snowmen, teddies or – the possibilities are endless.  Once finished, it can be crumbled into the bath. It is best to crumble under running water to create Lush bubbles!

I bought the Magic of Christmas, which is glittery but doesn’t make a mess. Smells nice and creates some great bubbles and fun in the bath.

My son loved it and of course he wasn’t put off by the glitter. LOL.

You can see the video here and I love the description – “It’s a magical time of the year, so release your inner illusionist and stage a bath of stimulating juniperberry and zesty tangerine bubbles to send your mood soaring. This bright, lustre-filled bar is just the trick for shaping into your own witch or wizard, or shampooing hair with.”

It’s a must have and fun for all ages!

Kleem, A Dream Cream?

I had the great opportunity to try a new product called Kleem. It isn’t quite a cream, but a serum. An intensive rejuvenating vitamin serum.

I love this serum, as it’s been really good in combating dry patches that I suffered from, mostly around my mouth.  Especially in winter this will be good for combating skin dryness that can be a killer during harsher weather.

This is also great as it is good for ageing.

The serum is made using a concentrate of vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, witch hazel and arginine, perfect for smoother skin.  I must say that this has truly been a wonder in more ways than one, not only for my face but for my hands too.  What was left on my hands, I rubbed in which made my hands also feel smoother and softer. I suffer from dry, cracked and broken skin on my hands, which this rid.

I have used most of it and will be sad when it finishes. You can get this wonder serum from Amazon, so an order will have to be made! 🙂

Great venue for weddings

I recently went to Keythorpe Manor for a summer wedding and I must say it was the perfect location! They have fabulous grounds, beautiful arrangements and tucked away areas!

We were (my family and I) lucky to have some great weather that day too.  The wedding venue is in Leicester, which I must admit isn’t the usual place that I have been, so it was all the more nicer!

There was a lot to do there too, from crocket and skittles (with coconuts no less – being that it was an Indian wedding) to just walking around the grounds.

While driving down you could also possibly miss a hidden location which is just breathtaking and where you can hear the live peacocks while walking through.

There is also an amazing swing with flowers wrapped around it, just ever so picturesque for the perfect wedding shoot!

This being a Desi wedding meant wearing traditional and ethnic clothing. I wore this bright blue and green shalwar kameez.

Here are some photos from this breathtaking place with borrowed shoes (my mum’s, as I had kicked mine off) and my son.

Enjoy!

What's in the box?
Blog

Think Pink

I recently got a new box which is called Pink Parcel.  As it is cancer awareness month and it’s all about pink, I thought I’d link the two together and tell you about this new subscription box called Pink Parcel.  It is a really good idea, as every time of the month instead of a bout of moodiness and being down, you can look forward to a pick me up.  The box offers either an option of tampons or towels according to preference. It also includes and few indulgent products, you can say “feel good” products.

The box comes in three parts, for now, for you and for later. The for now is as the name suggests to use now, if presuming you are on, but I guess the beauty of this box is that it is timed to co-incide with your cycle – what a cool concept!.

The for you is the exciting part of the parcel where the indulgence lies. This box is packed with beauty and lifestyle goodies.

I had some fantastic products in my parcel. A really deep maroon that would be great for the Autumn or Fall season. The nail polish is an OPI one, so from a good respected brand. There also was an Elizabeth Arden serum with beads, which I am excited to try! There are a lot of other products that can be seen in the picture, so go one and get your box! You can get the pink box online here.

It’s well worth the treat! – A great concept and a great thought!

Bloggers Fun Fair

I recently attended a cool fashion show and #BloggerFunfair at the snazzy Soho Bar with Joe Browns, a great clothing company!

Joe Browns has a great many clothes to choose from not only for every season, but for women, men and children alike. It’s quite clear that the clothes are made well, of quality and good stitching, which is transcended in every piece of clothing.

The venue was in the trendy Soho bar and the theme was fun and funky. It was a bloggers funfair, all wrapped up in popcorn, candy floss and glorious cocktails.

I particularly liked the floral designs intricately woven into many of the dresses, the jeans and within the leather jacket, as worn below.

The clothing was on trend and perfect for the Autumn and Winter season. After clocking the clothes on show, I was in awe and will soon be making a few orders!

Here are a few pictures of the fashion show and the festivities. The models were also sassy and bold!

Thank you Joe Browns and Emily for inviting me into your fashionable world!

Bloggers London Fashion Week

I have had a busy few days going to events over the last 2 weeks. Another great event I attended was at the OXO2 with The Bloggers Hangout which is a great company that put bloggers in touch with some fabulous companies.  The event was the Bloggers London Fashion Week #BLFW and took place on 7th September.  Just in case you were interested, you can see the agenda and who attended here >

The dress code was “all black chic”, so I went with a pretty black dress, leggings and a bold lip.

I must say that the OXO2 had some amazing views too! The layout of the venue was also awesome with great decor touches and comfortable areas to take photos.

The only regret I had was not attending both sessions on the day, that way I would have met the other companies that I missed and I must say I am gutted!

I did however, attend the evening session, due to being at work earlier, met some great brands and generally had a great time.  I had my sister with me and together we enjoyed being in the heart of London and at a fun venue with some time to glam, mingle and do some meets and greets.

Firstly, my sister and I met some lovely ladies from Great Lengths who quite kindly added a few strands of coloured hair extensions, I got a dark red put into my hair.  It is a great and fun way to add some chic style.

There was also a nail artist from True Brit London, where we got some nail polishes to sample.  The colour I got is a really nice pinky lilac which is good for weddings.

I also got foundation colour matched by Benefit who were also there with the Hello Flawless foundation, which I did like, however, I thought it did make my skin shiny.  This is a good foundation for those who have dry skin.

I met a lot of great companies, these brands were Boho Betty, Miglio, Halo Hair Extensions, Kleem Organics, Little Ondine, Nadia Minkoff, Boadicea Perfumes to mention but a few. I have some really nice pieces that I will blog about later!

Thanks to The Bloggers Hangout for a wonderful venue, experience, fashion show and the opportunity to meet such amazing brands, products and people!

Here are some glorious pictures from night at OXO!

Vernez App Launch

I recently went to the launch of Vernez on the Wednesday 2nd September in Shoreditch.

Vernez is a new and innovative fashion app and awesome because you can taylor styles that might look good on you and find out where to buy them, as well as purchasing them online.  The app has the unique selling point that it is easy to use, the clothes are clear to see and very wearable! It’s a place to unwind and make your own fashion!

At the moment, the app can be downloaded on Apple iPhone, via iTunes, which is great as I am an iPhone lover.

Also, what’s great about it is that you can follow the people you like or who are your fashion inspirations and see where they get their clothes. For example, if you like a certain person’s style you copy it or be inspired by their looks. Basically just know where they got a great outfit, I know that would really peak my interest. Also, did I mention that you can also create your own posts and fashion magazines too.

The app is the brainchild of Moyang Yang who graduated in Psychology and had a keen interest in fashion, where she realised there was a link. She herself is an inspiration, she is self-made and a great role model!

The event was not only informative but also great fun. There was a Digital table to try the app, a great photo booth, candy floss machine and a big fat cat, who was uber cute!

I even met a talented singer and fellow blogger Robyn Regan. It’s was so lovely to meet her!

It was also great to meet Sarah Bacchus who is a fellow blogger and photographer (The photo above is accredited to her). Do take a look at her blog at slbstyle. On a sidetone, I just loved her shoes!

Here are some more pictures from the event – enjoy!

It was a great night! Download the app now >
