The Handbag Lover

For those that really know me you know that Imelda had nothing on me when it comes to gorgeous things,but the big problem is how to store them?,One of  my biggest things apart from make up, perfume and clothes is handbags,yeah!! you got it I am a girly girl and love all things gorgeous. Well I have found the perfect solution to some of my storage problems and that is these great bags which are perfect for hand bags (that do not come with a dust bag) laundry and all sorts of stuff,they are neutral in colour ,so will match any accessory,so make the perfect storage solution and they can be personalised  too!!.They can be purchased at Neverforget  and they can be purchased in numerous sizes and combinations from a very reasonable £1.45.Neverforget are an online retailer that specialise in personalised goods from baby bibs to workwear and for those that are stuck for a gift idea there are gift vouchers.

Just Love Your feet !!

 During the recent warmer weather we have been experiencing,I am sure if you are like myself you have put your sandals on and looked at your over wintered feet in despair,unpainted toe nails,hard skin you get the picture.

So for our latest competition we have something that will help with this because we have teamed up with our friends at the newly launched  Pedikur website to offer your feet a treat!.Pedikur.co.uk are UK destributers of Pedikur Hand and Foot lotions.These great products are designed to remove hard skin and calluses from feet and hands,the lotion is highly effective and contains no perfume or cosmetic boosters and is manufactured by a renowned German cosmetic manufacturer.The beauty of Pedikur lotion is that is removes hard skin with the minimal of effort ,no sharp tools and you can sit and chill for 20 mins while it works it magic.So no more trips to the chiropodist, scraping away with a ped egg or cut/sore  heels this wonder lotion puts and end to that.The Pedikur Lotion can also be used to remove cuticles.

To complete the transformation there is the gorgeous Pedikur Herbal Cream which contains Sage, Thyme & Rosemary and  is used after the lotion treatment to maintain your soft feet,the lotion is beautifully thick and creamy so a liitle goes a long way, it is mineral oil free and smells devine.  

If we have well groomed hands and feet  it helps increase our confidence and we feel good,if we don`t we can feel quite the opposite.

A Scent of Summer 4711

When Wilhem Muelhens was given the formula to 4711  a legend was born,people from all walks of life male,female old and young wear this great cologne,it is uplifting,has medicinal properties and smells great.So...Why do people like it? Well it is the most inoffensive fragrance that you could ever own,it`s crisp citrus and not overpowering,you can share it with your partner (it`s unisex ) or keep it for yourself.

The story begins in Cologne and a wedding gift from a  Carthusan Monk to Wilhem Muelhens a young entrepeneur,Muelhens had a great belief in this formula and it`s medicinal properties and so the legend was born,Wagner was amongst it`s users.The name comes from the time when Colgne was under  French occupation and Glockengasse became number 4711 as all houses had to have a number!. Not even Napoleon with his great power could get the secret formula of the Kolnish Wasser (wonder water) Muelhens never promoted it as medicinal so it remained more than just a perfume and the secret remained.

The Molanus bottle  was created by Peter Heinrich Molanus and was shaped for ease of use and storage,

Today there is not just this wonderful cologne,you can buy tissues,body sprays and cologne sticks amongst other toiletries which all share the same wonderful aroma of the "Wonder Water".

Summer is Coming We Hope!

With summer we think of sunkissed looks and tanned bodies,but we also need to think of safe tanning this can be done with the help of self tanning lotions or spray or some clever make up,we currently have in stock some gorgeous bronzers and palettes that are perfect for that sunkissed look and for our competition we will be giving away an Elizabeth Arden Bronzing Beauty Kit  which is a fab little product that is small enough to pop in your handbag and yet contains some great bronzing essentials.

Perfume,Why we love it!!

We all have our favourite perfume,be it one we wear every day or save for special occasions,some smells can bring back happy memories or remind us times past.

My favourites are for summer are clean crisp florals or green chypres; the best being Yves Saint Laurent Y,a beautiful green chyre (pronounced shypreeh,don`t forget the french accent with this),in my opinion this is the best green chypre ever made and is such a comfortable and nice perfume to wear which has been likened to a beautiful silk blouse ( I think you get the idea).Another beautiful light fragrance is  Aqua Allegoria Tiare Mimosa a lovely fragrance from the master perfumers Guerlain which is a limited edition fragrance that is described as a floral jasmine.

Winter is a different story and with the colder weather we look for something that smells warm and comforting,for winter nights I always reach for YSLs Opium which people either love or hate,I have learn`t   to apply sparingly as less is definately best with this fragrance another winter warmer is Estee Lauder Sensuous which wears as more of a skinscentand alsmost has a sweet caramel smell to it.I do wear other fragrances but these are the ones I wear the most,I have an ever growing perfume collection as I always like to try something new and different.

Now less about me and back to the competition we are giving away a bottle of the gorgeous Pecksniffs Oriental Amber

Oh to be a domestic goddess!

Normally on my travels around the internet I am looking for something to make me look and feel gorgeous (well I can dream can`t I!!).But this Christmas I decided that I was going to have the proper utensils and equipment to hand when I started my Christmas culinary crusade,Yes grumpy old man did snigger and asked what delights he was going to be treated to this year!Please note I do not burn things,I am just not very organised in the kitchen,I find cooking dinners boring and something I need to do rather than want to do,I am one of these people who really should have a chef as a husband or partner.Anyway back to the my internet shopping trip,my first port of call was The Cutlery and Catering Website ,this is run by a husband and wife team who sell all things to do with cooking and entertaining,there are even tips looking after your cutlery,cookery and generally interesting things to do with cooking etc.My roasting tins have seen better days so I decided on a roasting tin and bake pan set ,which were a very reasonable £16.00 and arrived very quickly,they are excellent quality,non stick(so easy on the washing up),nice and heavy but not to heavy that you can`t handle them,they can withstand direct heat from the hob (gravy making) and not weaken or bow like some tins I have paid more money for,a lasagne was able to go straight into the freezer (after cooling down) and then from freezer (after defrosting) to oven.I now use them all the time  and they are among the most useful things I have purchased.       

                                                       

My second port of call was All Teatowels Website,I have always used teatowels as oven gloves,but decided that I  needed to buy a pair,now I am not keen on the gauntlet type,I like the traditional one hand in each end glove,I settled for a Kaleidescope Design Double Oven  Glove which is made by Ulster Weavers,the gloves when they arrived which was quickly  are excellent quality the hand pouches are deeper than normal and the gloves themselves nice and long,the design  neutral and very nice and they wash well too.All Teatowels have an excellent selection of products ranging from Flowers to humorous and if you want to feel flush when drying the dishes they even have a £20 note teatowel.There is some nice info on the site and if you are looking for a gift idea they have a teatowel club!

I have not received payment or any other rewards from these sites,they are sites that I have used to purchase things from and know that they give first rate service and sell excellent quality products.
