Top Beauty Bargain Of The Week

Primark £1 for twin pack

These make up remover cleansing wipes are an absolute bargain from good old primark! I always stock up on these, and they also do eye make up remover pads too - they're always situated just by the till point so perfect last minute add on purchase as it saves you having to go to Boots or Superdrug! 
Since my local town got a Primark i've just been using these wipes rather than the more expensive versions at Boots as they seem to do just as good a job! 

I also find the 50p antibacterial handbag size hand wash that they sell perfect too , especially to put in the change bag for nappy changes when out & about!

Bag of the Week

Okay so it's not really a 'bag of the week' since it's a bag that i've been using every week for around 2 months now! However i think it deserves a mention since i LOVE it..

My Cath Kidston floral change bag - the perk of being a mummy is that you get to purchase delightful bags like these!

Cath Kidston £65

 I was originally worried that it would be deemed too 'girly' since i bought it during my pregnancy when i knew that i was expecting a boy, however as lots of people have pointed out to me that it is infact a bag for me despite the fact that it is filled with baby essentials for him. 
 I have to admit i didn't even look at other change bags as i instantly had my heart completely set on buying a Cath Kidston bag as a treat! I'm so glad i did, i really love it! 
Plus it goes so perfectly with my pram which is lime green! 

Mothercare My3 pram

This change bag comes complete with bottle holder as seen in the pic, aswell as a matching floral PVC change mat which is quite padded compared to others i've seen. It also has lots of pockets / compartments which is brilliant for keeping all his bibs / muslins / nappies seperate. 

I manage to squeeze everything i need for outings in this bag and it hangs nicely over the pram handles. Despite it being quite pricey at £65, it's definitely been worth while so far, and you need a change bag - no matter what my mother says about it being acceptable to use a plastic carrier bag, as if! 

I've never really been able to justify buying myself a Cath Kidston handbag, so this has satisfied that need!

Jessie J!

 

Recognise the fresh faced 15 year old above? That's Jessie J!! Pretty much completely unrecognisable from the rising 24 year old popstar now! 

I have to say i loved Jessie J from pretty much the moment i heard "Do it Like a Dude" but i love her even more now that she's a coach on the Voice, she comes across as very down to earth.

I am also totally envious of her wardrobe & hair - although i'm starting to wonder if the dip dyed purple locks she's been sporting on the voice is a wig as i really fail to understand how anyone can have hair THAT shiny!!

I love the fact that she seems to not care about what people think of her & just wears what she likes! Its nice to have a singer (along with Gaga) who doesn't conform to the normal popstar "image". Plus she can actually sing and writes her own songs!

I've just actually been reading Jessie J's Wikipedia page (the fountain of all web knowledge!) - i've learnt she wrote 'Party In The U.S.A' for Miley Cyrus - everydays a school day! 

Also been reading this article : Jessie J being monitored amidst health fears

Basically she is being monitored due to suffering from a stroke when she was only 18 years old - it's great to see how well she seems to have recovered to become a popstar! I never even knew she had, had a stroke until i read this. 

I LOVE how she manages to look good in a catsuit too, not many people could pull off a tight catsuit like she can. 

I actually think if i could own anyones wardrobe, it would be hers! 

After reading this article - Daily Mail Article i actually really admire her for this comment : 

"The singer, who is known for her quirky and often raunchy fashion sense, reportedly refused the help of a stylist on the show, telling producers: ‘I don’t need any help getting dressed.’ In a recent interview she said: ‘If someone did my make-up and my hair, and dressed me and wrote my songs I’m just being a dummy. If someone dressed me, I wouldn’t feel like me.’

 I'm absolutely gutted that i didn't get tickets to go see her at Leeds Academy last year!

Draw Something

My newest addiction - Draw Something! 

I love this App! It seems to have really taken off recently!
Its a very simple idea, but yet totally and utterly addictive.
Basically you have to draw a picture (ranging from cupcakes to Beyonce) and then your opponent has to guess what it is using the jumbled letters beneath it, so the better the drawing the more likely they will be able to guess. 

What makes it good is that you can play against your facebook friends, although i have to say this has resulted in numerous texts telling me my drawing skills are rubbish.. however  the more i play the better i think my drawings are getting ! 

 This is my best drawing so far :

The Voice

I am absolutely loving The Voice Uk on a Saturday night! I think the format and concept is so much better than previous singing talent shows such as X Factor. I think mainly because it has none of the weeks and weeks of going through humiliating performances from people who are completely tone deaf, at least all of these contestants have at least an OK singing voice to begin with. 
Plus i think the judging panel work really well together and i think they really make the show what it is. 

The concept of the Voice is pretty simple really, basically all 4 coaches - Jessie J, Will.I.Am, Tom Jones & Danny O'Donoghue  - during "blind auditions" are sat facing away from the stage in giant swivel chairs and then singers come onto the stage and perform then during the performance each of the  coaches has the chance to hit their red button to swing round and see the performer to get the chance to bag them for their team. 
If more than one coach turns round then it is upto the singer to decide whose team they want to be on - which i think is a really good idea.
Each coach has 10 places in their team to be filled by the performers. 

The coaches! 

 I think last nights episode was the last of the blind auditions so it will be interesting to see how the battle rounds compare to the X Factor. 


I have to say the only minor thing that has bugged me so far has been the fact that all the coaches have been wearing the same outfit each week, i presume because they were all filmed in the same day but still! 


have you been watching the voice?!

She's Done It Again...

While i do love Katy Perry, i just can't say that i am loving her style choices recently! Plus as much as i like this darker hair do, i actually kind of miss the blue bob she's been sporting over the past few months.
Katy was snapped wearing this floaty see-through dress at Coachella - which i would have liked more had it not been completely see through i think.

Song Of The Day

Justin Bieber - Boyfriend

Honestly, i'm not entirely sure that i should even be admitting to liking this song, however i am going to take that risk & expose myself as a bit of a belieber! I do like this song quite a bit after hearing it on the radio for the past few days it's really grown on me!
