New Beauty Buys . . .

Hey everyone, so I know I said I would try and post something everyday . . I don't think I will be able to for the next few days as I'm not well, I woke up this morning and all day today I've not been good, I won't go into details because its not very nice : (
 
So I thought id share with you the latest beauty products that I have bought recently (the other day) hahahah I've called it beauty buys instead of a haul as there isn't enough items for a haul (and I don't really like the word haul)
 
Here they are . . .
 


 
I went to boots the other day and they were doing a fantastic offer where it was 3 for 2 on all beauty, haircare and skincare products. So I bought . . .
1) Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Polish in Blueberry (I've wanted it for ages)
2) Rimmel Kate Moss Lasting Finish Lipstick -shade 101
3) Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer -fair 1
 
So im not sure if im gonna post anything for the next few days or not, think I might just try and sweat my illness out and get better!
But I hope you all have a fantastic easter!
 
{Oh and I edited these pictures on my new camera.Yey.}
 
Speak soon,

DIY -Baby Blanket Update

Hi guys so im sorry this isn't an exciting post or anything but i did promise i was gonna try and post something everyday, i had planned other things but i just didn't get round to doing it as i went shopping today and i was really tired when i got in, so just went to sleep! : )
 
But i thought instead of not posting i thought id do a update on how my first DIY project is coming along . . .
 

 
 
I know it doesn't look like ive done much but, i started it and at first i was gonna do two different stitches... a knit stitch as a boarder and then a pearl stitch inside the boarder, i had knitted all the knit stitches and had started my pearl stitches but then it started going funny there was too many loops on, some were crossed over. . . which got me quite stressed and upset to be honest, so i decided to un ravel it all and start again but just to knit it all!:)
 
So heres where im up to so far! Im really loving it, and im planning on knitting other things once ive finished this one! : )

A Day Out At Tatton Park . . .

Hello everyone!
So after yesterday i thought im gonna try and post everyday after my recent lack of blogging! : p
Fingers crossed it works, i have got quite a few notes ive jotted down and hopefully i'll get round to doing them!
 
Yesterday my cousin was looking after my two little cousins whilst their mummy and daddy had a break, i had been asked to help and i obviously said yes as i love spending time with my family!
We decided to go to Tatton Park, we had made plans before to go but never got round to doing so because of the weather : (
But yesterday we finally went, even though the weather is cold but it was dry so we thought why not!
 
We woke up really early ... 8:30am wow! haha I washed my hair and got ready and then i got a text saying we're on our way!
So once they picked me up, we nipped to the little tescos near me so my cousin could get some money and water and she ended up buying us all a pack of crisps for the journey there! (healthy breakfast i know) hahaha
 
So we started to drive and we was on the motorway, after about 30 minutes or so my cousin said to look out for a sign which she think shes seen before and then we was getting further away from manchester, so we turned around and headed back to the main motorway, anyway i found an app on my phone which basically was a sat nav! : ) hooooooooray!
I've never used it before but we was all glad i had it! There was an american woman telling us directions just like a normal sat nav and everytime the american voice came on my little cousin Lucas (4years old) kept giggling with a cheeky smile!
 
But after having the american woman direct us there we had to turn off the main road and drive down a really long lane, through a cute little old fashioned villages, full of thatch roofed cottages and little old buildings! I absolutely loved it!
 
Then we arrived! YEY! I actually think me and my cousin was more excited than the little ones! hahaha! You have to pay to get into the park and for a car it was £5
 
The first place we went to was the farm, which you also had to pay for we payed for a family ticket which was £16 ... so if your planning on going to Tatton Park i would definately be prepared to pay alot of money!
 

 
Above is one of my favourite pictures, the brown sheep we saw which was right near the car park!
 

 
Then we spotted a deer!
 
 
They also had a few animals carved out of trees this was my favourite one of the pig with the piglets! : )
 


 






This is another of my favourites! The little brown duck with the funny tuft of hair on its head was so funny but so cute!
 


 
And not forgetting the big fat brown/ginger pig! hahaha

 
Aw and there was a reindeer with only one antler, it's eyes was quite scary hahah
 
After this my camera battery ran out which i was absolutely gutted about, so im planning on going another time!
After going to the park, we had a look in the shop which was lovely but it also had a lovely price to go with things!
Then we took the kids on the forest thing which had like an assolt course thing, then we went to the restaurant for some dinner (which was also very expensive for what it was, so i would definately take a pack lunch if it was warmer) then we took the kids on the advernture playground and oh my it was amazing!! hahahaha!
 
I think i've wrote alot, so im gonna finish with saying that i had a lovely time and driving out of the park there was a herd of reindeer in the road which i was super excited about and was upset that my camera battery had died:(
Im definately going to go back again!!!

Quick update

Hey guys,
I'm so so sorry I haven't posted in such a long time (9 days haha) it honestly feels like ages!
I feel so bad for not doing anything, I've had loads of things that i wanted to post about this week but to be honest i've been so tired recently it's umbelievable! I've litterally been falling asleep everynight at like 8 o'clock! : /
The only reason I could think of for why i've been so tired is because i've been on a new diet! : ) which was one of the things i wanted to post about... i might do one once ive finished it! : )
 
Now i've got 2 weeks off i am planning on doing more posts regurlarly and i've wrote them all down in my little pad.....
 
 
How cute is this little notepad! I love meerkats and im chuffed to say i can do the 'meerkat.com simples *meerkat noise*) off the advert! hahahah : )
 
I've got quite a few posts coming up so be sure to keep an eye out!
 
Hope your all well,

DIY Project #1- Baby Blanket!

Hello ladies...
So i've finally got round to starting my first ever DIY project today which i've been super excited to start for ages! (It's not the first i've ever done, it's the first that i will be sharing with you all.)
 
On christmas day i found out i was going to be an aunty again!! :-)
So after ages of thinking what can i get them for the new baby... i found inspiration from a video off Sprinkle of glitter's youtube channel!
To watch the video that inspired me click here
 
Watching the video inspired alot,
Im planning a surprise baby shower for when they come down from London to visit all the family before she has the baby, im creating a big gift bag with similar presents as to what Louise put in hers and im going to bake a big cake for us all to enjoy at the baby shower!
But the most exciting part for me (i say exciting, it probably seems boring and old fashioned).. but im going to knit a baby blanket!!! : D
 
I've finally started it! And i thought i'd do daily updates on how my first DIY project is coming on.. : ) Im so happy with what i've managed to do today!
 
I picked this white wool with speckles of pink, blue, green, yellow and abit of orange!
I chose this because they aren't finding out if their having a little baby boy or little baby girl, so i thought this wool would do perfectly!! :-)
 

 
Here you can see some of the speckled colours running through the ball of wool! : )

 
This is the thickness of how much i have done tonight, it doesn't look alot but it is really long!
I cant wait for it to be finished!!! : D

 
 
So after a few hours knitting i thought i'd hang up my knitting needles for tonight and start again tomorrow night!
 
Im really enjoying knitting and think im gonna knit more things after i've done this one!
Keep an eye out for regular updates on how the baby blanket is coming along!
