Exciting Update!

A while ago, gypsydancermacaholic asked me to be a part of her 'Kick off your shoes with...' Series that she was posting on her blog. To be honest I was very honoured to be asked as all the other Guru's she asked are AMAZING and have such talent!

So I happened to be checking through Google Reader for new blog posts, and saw that she has posted the interview! Please check out her blog and her youtube channel, she is amazing and is a truly lovely person!

To read the interview (and to find out some more about me) click here!

This will be a new segment on my blog. Basicaly, when I find a product that I love, i'll tell you all about it!

Whats the product? GOSH Nail Lacquer in Wild Lilac

How much is it? £4.89

Where can I get my hands on it? Superdrug stores nationwide

Whats so great about it? It is the most beautiful dusty lilac colour. It's right slap bang inbetween being a pastel and a bright. It is also an amazing consistency, needing only one coat to become totally opaque! It's very wearable for the workplace/school etc

I'm Lovin' It Star Rating: **** out of 5

Weight Loss: Week 1 Roundup

So, I have decided that this is it, I cannot put off losing weight any longer. I keep procrastinating and stalling it, but the fact of the matter is i'm not getting any thinner! So, I joined Weight Watchers.

This week I lost 2 1/2 pounds. I was a smidgen dissapointed with this as usually in your first week you have this big weight loss and it boosts your motivation. But, I can't be dismissive of those 2 1/2 pounds, because it's a step (albeit a teensy one) in the right direction. So goodbye 2 1/2 pounds, hope I never see you again!

Mini Goal for Week 2: Get off your butt and do more exercise. Usually, taking Holly out consists of walking across the road to the park and throwing a ball for her, which is great exercise for her, but not for me.

Here is my Week 1 Round Up

Going Up and Down #2

Going Up

• MAC Palettes. Got one this week and then depotted all my shadows (well, all 9 of them!) Loves it!
• Miss Sporty Nail polishes. I got them on offer, 3 for 2, and they are great quality for being so cheap. In particular I love Salsa, which is a hot red-coral - the perfect Summer colour!
• Make Up Buying Amnesty. For the next month or so i'm going to try not to buy any make-up. It will be very difficult! I sat and looked through all of my make-up and put in a box all of the products I haven't used yet...the box was overflowing...

Going Down

• YouTube Drama. There seems to be a lot of bitching going on in YT at the moment. It is totally un-neccessary. Please stop!
• Thinking I had bought the light green Barry M nail polish that looks like MAC Peppermint Pattie, then realising it was the wrong one! I wanted 304, I got 290! Argh!
• Sunburn. Sat out on Sunday and came in to discover my skin was an unflattering shade of red. In my (weak) defence, we don't see the sun a lot in Scotland, so when it does come out, we tend to go a bit OTT..it's in the genes!

Until next time
