Isn't it spring?

hey there

I could be mistaken, but isn't it the 22nd of March? Surely the time for snow was 3 months ago? 

However, when I heard the wind rattling things about outside and the trees swaying louder than before, I knew we must have been getting some kind of weather.

My suspicions were confirmed when mum came home from work and asked if I had looked outside, I did and low and behold, everything is blanketed with snow!

Personally, I love snow. I love how it makes everything look clean and peaceful. I also love going for walks in it, and then being able to come home and wrap up and watch it fall. Winter is my favourite month as by far the prettiest and most enjoyable from my point of view.

I have never been a fan of hot weather, whether thats because my I have fairer skin than Snow White, and burning is practically unavoidable, even after lathering my skin in factor 1000 sun block, is open for debate. 

I just think that sun encourages fat people to get all their wobbly bits out with no shame, and parade around, ain't nobody got time for dat! 

However with the snow, kids love it, animals love it, and everyone can have fun in it. Yes I know it makes driving harder and I know its cold, but its just so lovely! 

Here are some picture from what this mornings covering of snow looks like from my bedroom window.

YSL Mascara

hey there

So, early this year I was at The Trafford Centre (shopping centre in Manchester) taking full advantage of the January sales. I had heard that YSL mascara was meant to be one of the best you could buy, and as YSL is quite pricey, I decided to wait for the sales.

Whilst in Selfridges the YSL lady told me that I was lucky, as I had bought the last black mascara they had in the sale - phew!

I LOVE THIS MASCARA.

It makes my lashes look 10x longer, and unlike with any other mascara that I have used, from brands such as Maybelline and L'oreal, I only use one coat. 

The normal RRP on this product is £23.50, (unlike the sale price of £12 which I got it for) and I think this is so pricey for a mascara! But, I will admit if I can afford it, I'll have to get it again!

Here are a few before and after photo's (excuse the eyebrows) of applying one coat of this mascara.

BEFORE AND AFTER

All I am wearing in these photo's is some foundation and some eyebrow pencil. I think in the first photo without the mascara, my eye has a big dark circle, I look tired and dull. I haven't added any extra concealer or foundation or anything for the second picture, yet the mascara makes my eye look move alive, the dark circle seems drastically reduced and the blue in my eye really stands out!

My favorite Yankee Candles

hey there

So I love the look of candles burning, I think it gives a room a cute, cosy feel, and my favourite candles to use, are Yankee Candles.

The red candle is called 'Fruit Fusion' and smells like, well, lots of fruits put together. It may sound odd, as we are now approaching spring, but the smell reminds me of autumn, and cosy nights in, in a comforting, not creepy way.

The lilac candle is called 'Beach Flowers' and reminds me of a more girly, perfumey (is that a word?) smell of flowers. It is more fitting to the season and is one that I can see myself using a lot over the next month or so. 

I recently learned that there are some new Yankee Candles in the Easter range with scents including 'Chocolate Bunnies' and 'Bunny Cake' which I can't wait to smell! 

I think I might be a candle addict.. oh well!
