Hi Guys

Hey beauties how are you all?! 

I am sorry that I haven't blogged in the past week or 2, the reason for that is thanks to this little furry black ball pictured ^

Yes, its Winston! So Winston has been an indoor cat for almost a year now and when we moved to our house in April you could tell he wanted to try and investigate the outdoors. So like over protective parents Gordee and I went and bought a lead for him so he could try out the outdoors of the back garden. Where we live there is a busy road outside the front of our house but we hope he will stay round the back of the houses and just roam around there. Well we have been doing this for the past few days out on the hot sunny days and the cheeky little monkey caught fleas! The past week we have been flea bombing and cleaning this flat, currently hoovering everyday, have piles and piles of washing to do, the poor cat has had plenty of baths. This has been consuming my days for the past week and its driving me mad!!

I am finally getting on top of the mountain of washing, the fleas are slowly going, my bites are fading slowly and Winston has been clean from fleas the past few days. It can take up to a few weeks to get the house completely clear of them so we just need to keep doing what we're doing. I could give you top marks on flea bombs, flea cleaning sprays, flea prevention sprays, flea treatment and flea prevention treatment but that would be a rather dull post. I haven't forgotten about you lovely lot I have just been super busy cleaning my house :(

There will be a new post up in the next few days and I will be getting back on top of it soon.

Love you guys

Super Lazy Sunday

Hi Guys

How are you all doing? So its Sunday and the boy and I are having a pretty lazy day, I'm getting all caught up on blog posts and youtube vids as I missed so much with having no internet for a few days in the new house. I'm still going through the youtube vids that I have missed out on but before I carry them on I thought I would still post up something on the blog.

What I thought I would share with you today is some of my recent Instagram snaps showing you the simple things of what I have been up to the past few weeks. Now if your anything like me I am rather addicted to Instagram. Out of facebook, twitter and Instagram its the one app I cant live without. I usually post up pics everyday usually one or 2 pics if I see something I want to share with you beauties.

Row 1 L-R: Winston not being very helpful packing, white chocolate bunny as a little treat, Gordee and I had noodles one night for our dinner I love the bowls we have :)

Row 2 L-R: Essie nail polish in Peach Daiquiri, lovely bunch of flowers our friends Mark and Lyndsey brought round to the new house, my amazing panda socks!

Row 3 L-R: Clarins minis I got as a freebie after a facial, morning routine while being off work is a cuppa green tea and read my Harry Potter book, my favourite new candle smells so good.

 

Row 1 L-R: pic of my friends Katie and Karen and I getting ready for a night out, little Winston and his teddy Cuddles, Selfie on my birthday.

Row 2 L-R: pic of Winston and I, my amazing birthday cake my ever so talented friend Karen baked, some items I treated myself to on my birthday.

Row 3 L-R: my first experience with macaroons, I am loving these lip butters I got as a birthday present, after all the birthday celebrations and packing the flat a lovely treat of cake and tea.

 

 

Hope you have enjoyed this post, what have you guys been up to this weekend? anything fun and exciting or has it been a nice chilled out one?

 

Also if you guys are on Instagram I'm over at SparklySJ, leave me a comment if your on Instagram and what your username is so I can have a peek.

 

Love you guys

Check in Tuesdays #1

Hi Everyone

Now that Mondays past I find a lot of folk moaning about Tuesdays being a bit on the boring side, it's the day after Monday so we are getting closer to another weekend but its not the middle of the week and it feels like we have ages to go till the weekend! I however don't mind Tuesdays :) I always think when I finish work only one more day (Wednesday) then only 2 days to go and its the weekend again!

So I have decided that I'm going to post up a blog post every Tuesday to just "check in" with you all. Maybe mention a few things I'm loving at the moment or things that I'm not so loving. Maybe a few inspirational posts on things that I'm loving right now, basically a random post every Tuesday!!

• So like most girls I love flowers and ones I like especially are Sunflowers, Tulips and Daffodils so when I see a bunch of Tulips in Tesco the other day I had to get some. They are so pretty and colourful they remind me that Spring is coming.
• As some of you beautiful bunch may or may not know I am learning to drive and today I had my first morning driving lesson. With it being winter majority of my lessons have been in the evening as that's when I'm mostly free however it can be pretty quiet in the evenings which is fab to start you off but now I'm needing some traffic. So half 7 in the morning I hit the road with my instructor and drove about town in the morning rush. I rather enjoyed my mornings lesson and I felt pretty good being up super early and not rushing around for work.
• Ever since seeing them few weekends ago I havent stopped listening to City and Colour seriously guys they are so amazing you should check them out.
• I have recently noticed my nails have started to peel its with all the cleaning I do at my work, so I decided to cut them back short and let them grow lovely and healthy again so no nail polish for me for a few weeks.
• Another thing Im a bit excited about is kinda quite sad and its that I have ordered new glasses. I do wear contact lenses most of the time but I do like to wear my glasses from time to time.
• I have been on Instagram a lot lately I been trying to upload a photo every day or 2, I am rather addicted to it at the moment. I just love following other bloggers and seeing what they have been up to and what they been buying. I quite often find new blogs to read that way too.
• A food I have been loving recently is granola, there's this cereal you get in asda and its Hawaiian cereal crunch and its amazing! I have it with some peach and passion fruit yogurt and it is yummmmmy!

So there we have it my first random Tuesday Check In, hope you guys don't mind it. I am trying to be a little different and not just ramble on about beauty treats. Let me know if you liked it or not, any comments would be greatly appreciated you can let me know what you have been up too or what things your loving right now be it random or beauty related!

Here is a snap of Winston who decided to snuggle up into me and rest his head on my shoulder as I was typing this.

until next time

Lots of Lovies
