Bombay Bicycle Club - Shuffle
Absolutely crazy about Bombay Bicycle Club! This song is super fun and happy! I saw them at Reading Festival this year, and it was FABULOUSO!
Glossy Box - October
I recently received my second Glossy Box! I love getting them and getting new products to try. This is what came in my Glossy Box this month:
* MultiVitamin Thermafoliant (75ml) RRP: £40.50
I haven't used either of these yet, but can't wait! Have always wanted to try Dermalogica, but way out of my price range!
* Renewal Lip Complex (1.75ml) RRP: £22.50
A powerful masque of concentrated antioxidant vitamins to help skin recover from damage while enhancing barrier properties and promoting healthy tissue regeneration - I have been using this twice a day and am very impressed! My lips are really soft and smooth, and this will be great for the upcoming winter months!
* Expert Nails High Performance Colour (12ml) RRP: £11.00
Leighton Denny Expert Nails High Performance Nail Colour is a professional formula that is chip-resistant, easy to apply and long-lasting. The pigment in our polish gives an intense colour and a super-glossy finish. In this month’s Glossy Box you will find 3 shades from our Risque Collection. Babydoll, Sex Kitten and Hanky Panky – perfect for spicing up the long winter nights indoors! - I received Hanky Panky, and was a bit disappointed, as I was really hoping for Sex Kitten, a lovely blue colour. Orange is not really my type of colour, but I will def be using it on Saturday to go with my Halloween outfit!
* Visa de Robert Piguet (sample size) RRP: £65.00
Mysterious and addictive, this gourmand oriental is a spellbinding combination of lush white vineyard peach and pear mingled with rose, ylang, rich patchouli, sandalwood and vanilla beans. Dazzling and dramatic, Visa de Robert Piguet is the fragrance for those who expect the exceptional.
* Visa de Robert Piguet (sample size) RRP: £65.00
Calypso de Robert Piguet - Bewitching and romantic, Calypso is a mesmerizing mix of fiery and lush floral facets. It blends top notes of geranium and mandarin with a heart of rose and iris before revealing a seductive base of patchouli, amber and suede. Calypso is the fragrance for those who dazzle the world with their stunning style
I had a quick sniff of all of these, and none of them appealed to me! I received perfume in the last glossybox too, and didn't like that one either. I think perfume is a risky one to send with the boxes as its such hit and miss and everyone has different tastes!
* Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner RRP: £13.00
Stila’s highly pigmented, waterproof eye liner glides on, delivering intense, vibrant color with staying power.
I have used this liner a few times and LOVE IT!! It's a golden green colour, and goes really nicely with my brown eyes. It goes on really smoothly and has real staying power!
I also received a free Dermalogica travel/make up bag in the box, which unfortunately, I don't have a photo of, but it's lovely! Can never have too many make up bags!
Overall, I'm really happy with this month's Glossy Box and can't wait for the next one!!
I love the packaging, so pretty! I plan on using the boxes for storing my nail polishes, hair accessories and make up.
DERMALOGICA AGE SMART
* MultiVitamin Thermafoliant (75ml) RRP: £40.50
A powerful thermal skin polisher that combines physical and chemical exfoliants to refine skin texture and enhance penetration of age-fighting actives into skin, while advanced technology ingredients condition and treat the skin. -
* MultiVitamin Power Recovery Masque (75ml) RRP: £33.00
A powerful masque of concentrated antioxidant vitamins to help skin recover from damage while enhancing barrier properties and promoting healthy tissue regeneration

ROBERT PIGUET

A Lush White Floral. Create a little chaos with this lush white floral. Distinctly feminine, this intoxicating classic combines tuberose, jasmine, violet and gardenia with a hint of orange blossom before giving way to a base of sandalwood, vetiver and musk. Fracas is the signature fragrance for women who want to make an unforgettable impression.

Auto Correct Fails
Man Alive, I love a good Auto Correct Fail. I do have a bad habit of reading them while at work which leads to crazy snort type laughter as I try suppress my giggles. Here are a few:

The PEDIGREE Adoption Drive
I saw this post over on Domestic Sluttery and just had to share it! I love dogs and wish I could have one, but our current living situation makes this impossible.
Last year, over 120 000 dogs were taken into shelters across the UK. By visiting this website, and taking Ripley on a virtual walk across 4 different websites, PEDIGREE will donate £1 to the Adoption Drive.
Girls Night...Sushi Night!
Saturday night, 6 of us girls went to a friend's house for some drinks and sushi making! It was great fun, ended in us all going out into Wimbledon and proceeding to get pretty drunk and dancing till 3am!
The sushi making was fun, I would definitely like to give it another go. Mine didn't turn out so well and fell apart when I cut them, but still tasted good!

Red Hot Chili Peppers - The Adventures of Raindance Maggie
Am loving the new Red Hot Chili Peppers album, I'm With You! Can't wait to see them at the o2 on the 10th November! I've always had a thing for Anthony Kiedis...YUMMMMYYYY!
The Adventures of Raindance Maggie is one of my faves off the album, love the lyrics:
Tick tock I want to rock you like the eighties
Cock blocking isn't allowed...
Blogspot: Maple Syrup & Boerewors
MAPLE SYRUP, BOEREWORS AND ALONG THE WAY... is a blog that my brother recently started up. I think he is so funny, and even though he has only done a couple of posts, I'm sure there will be plenty more to come.
This is what he has to say:
Hello!
My name is David, im from Newcastle, Kwa- Zulu Natal, South Africa and im 22. I left home when I was 18 straight after finishing High School and moved to London, England just like a million other South Africans do after school. I stayed in london for 4 years, house sharing with friends untill their working holiday visa's expired :( They left London and I moved into a random new houseshare where I made some awesome friends. Maple Syrup? I met Ali in London, she is Canadian. We were dating for 3 months before her visa expired and the request to extend it was declined. She had to return to Canada... and so here im sitting, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
The reason I have started this blog is to keep track of everything in my life, so that one day I can read back and remember all the good times I've had.
Go check him out!
Barry M Love
Barry M is my most favourite brand when it comes to nail polish! I currently have 15 of their colours, and I plan on working my way up to getting the whole range. At only £2.99 for nail paints and £3.99 for the nail paint effects, it's not an impossible task!
My fave colours so far are:
308 - Berry Ice Cream
306 - Blueberry Ice Cream
293 - Grey
279 - Bright Pink
Which ones are your fave, and which colours would you recommend I get next?

Summer Days in Autumn
Had the most beautiful weather over the weekend, so hopped on a train and spent the day in Brighton! So sad it's gone and now it's all downhill to Winter! :(

Cage The Elephant
Blogspot: Little Miss Medic
I love reading Little Miss Medic! This is what she says about herself:
"A South African doctor living in London. Trying her hand at travelling around Europe, whilst working part-time. Book lover, fashion follower and eternal pessimist. All the stories are true, but names have been kept anonymous"
She is super funny and I love the hospital and patient stories!
xoxo
