Halloween last year!

Last years Halloween was a great success. My house mates and i sat around on the kitchen floor carving pumpkins and creating gory spooky cupcakes and other tasty scary themed treats for about two days prior to Halloween.

Although i am imaginative, my ideas don't always rise spectacularly, in fact, sometimes they flop miserably and a good idea is just that, a good idea, but without momentum or necessary patience to bring it to life. So when i managed to design and successfully present a Spider carved pumpkin, i was impressed with myself!

Oh i do love winning!

I entered a competition with New York Colour (NYC) the makeup range on twitter telling them about my summer plans. However, the majority of my summer had already passed, so i told them what i had already done!

Its safe to say i squeeled a little bit when i found out i had won, i love their brand, their wide range of nail polish which is easy on the budget is a staple of mine. I also love anything i get for free, so to find out i was winning a NYC goodie bundle was exciting. About two weeks later when i returned to uni, i was welcomed with a little pink package waiting for me. I had also sent of for two 'free sample' of 'Cetaphil', a sensitive skin moisuriser and shower gel to try, and expecting small sachets, when these two lumps turned up i was very happy. Full sized!

Baby Bottom Butter?

Every time i mention to my friends that i use a certain 'Baby Bottom Butter' as a moisturiser, i get funny looks.

Yes, this is a tub of cream meant for babies.
Yes, it does go on their bum and prevent nappy rash.
Yes, it does have a picture of a baby's bum on the front.
Yes, it does work amazingly as a moisturiser!
