Homemade Birthday Gift

Morning,

This week my friend turn 17, an age I was excited to reach so I could learn to drive. Now my friend has already booked to attend Reading festival in the summer and stay the whole weekend, last year she attended only one day. Myself was there the whole weekend and learnt what items were need to last the weekend. So for her birthday I've made for a survival kit.
Used a large tub that I had. 

All the items that are needed. (I could fit in the tub)
  • mini shampoo 
  • Mini conditioner
  • Hair ties
  • Plasters
  • Torch
  • Mini Tooth brush
  • Body Spray
  • Face Wipes
  • Tissues
  • Lips Gloss
  • Fold up bag
  • Eye mask and Ear plugs
  • fold up poncho's


Made ready for a present. 

View from the top. 

I hope shes enjoys her kit and also her festival later in the year... Lets just hope we have some sun!

New shoes - Converse style from Primark

Afternoon,

I popped into town last week to buy my friends birthday present, while I was there I thought I'd have a look and see what I could find in Primark. I love this shop for cheap style, there is always plenty to find. I'm loving converse shoes at the mo, I've got a real pair that I brought in America which I love. But I can't afford to splash the cash on more pairs in all the colours... Therefore Primark have some great lookalikes.
I fell in love with these the moment I saw them, the zip design on the side and buckle at the back adds more to the style of the shoe. Also I'm a pink girl at heart so makes it even more girly. However I must say I am tempted to add diamonds to the front of the toes watch this space...

New buys - shopping

Hello all!

Shopping isn't just a hobby but more of a sport in my eye... I can make a whole day out of it, or a quick look online to find that perfect buy. While in town last week I bagged a few goodies.
Cute purse from Primark
Main for my nights out.

New Look had jewellery at buy 1 get 1 free!
Therefore I couldn't miss out on these earring, I brought a multi set
and a cute leopard print bow ring. 

I know I could of brought plenty more, however I'm trying to be good... I'll plan a big shop for next month.

book review - Jodi Picoult "Sing You Home"

Hello everyone,

Yes I've been reading again. Bet your wondering how I ever get anything done... I don't know either. Well the book I've had my nose stuck in, is another Jodi Picoult novel, "Sing You Home".
The Blurb reads: 
After Zoe Baxter loses her baby, the only way she can 
find of coping is to try again. But her husband Max 
disagrees - more than that, he wants a divorce. When 
they separate, there is no mention of the unborn children 
they created together, still waiting at the clinic. 

Then Zoe falls in love again, out of the blue, and finds 
herself with an unexpected second chance to have a family.

But Max has found a new life too - one with no place in 
it for people like Zoe. And he will stand up in court to say 
that her new choice of partner makes her an unfit mother.

Out of all of Jodi Picoult's novels I've read so far, this is the most powerful, asking plenty of questions into people personal lives. Asking what they are doing behind closed doors, who they are in love with, what they believe, means they should or should not have a family. Questions of sexuality vs believes of faith. In life is see it as each to your own, people should be able to believe in what they like, as long as they don't force or affect other people. "Sing You Home" asks many questions, but is also unique as a sound track has been created which you can download and listen to the listed track for each chapter.
Over all another gripping story and a brilliant read from Jodi Picoult, with many questions you might ask yourself about the story. So many emotions from all the characters included. Perfect, up to date, for the world we live in today.

Sweet Tooth

Hello,

Now I must admit I have such a sweet tooth which all my friends and family know about. We can be in the middle of a night out with the drinks flowing, and I have one thing stashed in my bag, a small pack of love hearts. I'm sure in my large handbag right now you could find some, or last month I had a mini egg in there for a while. If I'm ever craving something it will be sweet, if i could choose I'm sure I would have dessert over all other courses and even have it before the others! I've got so many packets of love hearts about the house, bags and even hidden in my car! 
My friends have been buy them for me recently and thought I'd show you the different one's I've got.. Ps I'm a little excited!!
They are in their very own tin! 

These just made me laugh, my younger cousin would like these.

I was given this last week as a thank you gift. 

SO if you an find me, its because I'm busy eating love hearts.

Enjoy your week,

Love Lolly

A jar of sweets

Hey all,

Yet again I've been busy making different things recently, mainly as presents for many of my friends. I've been collecting jam jars to fill with sweets.
Materials needed (Apart from Sweets)

Different size jars. 

I decorated the tops to hide any writing
Added ribbon and a label to the front.

Many more I've made. 
They make a cute present for sweet lovers (All my friends are) I could always fill them with their favourite. Overall a great way to recycle left over jars and create a nice present. 

Love Lolly
