Drink me…

“I want to create meals that are a delicious spectacle, where every bite is a delight to the senses.”
Heston Blumenthal
Heston Blumenthal – One of the most fantasically interesting and mind boggling chef’s at the moment !
Each week he takes a theme – gothic, fairytale, chocolate factory the delightfully crazy list goes on…! He then pops back in time, over to different countries and dives deep into his brain to come up with some of the most unique ways of presenting food around the chosen theme !

A personal favourite of mine was his Victorian theme… here are his guests reactions to: Alice’s Drink me !

The ingredients: in Alice’s mind-expanding ‘Drink Me’ drink are toffee, hot buttered toast, cherry pie, custard, pineapple and, erm, turkey.

You can find out lots more about it here: Heston !

This is what i use …

Hallo lovely people !
Here you go, a little product post of what I am using at the moment!

I wont lie – I am quite lazy when it comes to applying creams, removing make up or even spending much time on my hair. I am trying to train my self to get a little better and my skin is really the kind which needs to be looked after !

I have found that each of these products are good for dry / sensitive skin.

Estee Lauder Hydrationist Maximum Moisture Creme – I got this for my birthday a few weeks back and I am so glad ! It is delightful to use…as I have quite dry skin at this time of year ( going from a warmhouse into really cold weather ) I really like to use a night cream during the day as they tend to be a lot thicker!

Well, this does the job…the cream is quite thick, dries clear and does not leave you looking shiny at all. It keeps my skin full of moisture all day so I do not find I need to re-apply it!

It is to be used as both a day and night cream, so it may be a little more expensive but there is no need to have a seperate night cream!

I have also found that only a tiny blob needs to be used and it will go a long way!


Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair - More of a serum than a cream, it has a pippett and just one little blob will do the whole of your face and neck.

Estee Lauder say that anyone with skin needs this ! Well I guess it is one of those things which you will never know till you try ! I adore it…if I could I would love to have a bath in it ( even though I am not a big fan of having a bath – I would make an exception for this ) as it has done a good job at getting rid of eczema and the likes from my neck and face !

Aussie Volume shampoo – It smells wondrous, makes your hair feel soft and I do feel that my hair looks as though it has more volume after I have used it.

If I leave my hair to dry naturally with only a light blow dry on the top my hair becomes pretty “big” which is what we want…yes!? It also seems to bring out any hidden curls ( I once had a light wave perm and some curls seem to still be knocking about ) !

I think the best thing about Aussie Volume is that it really makes your hair easy to style once washed and anything else you add to your hair ( products/blow drying ) will be adding to the volume and it seems to hold all day.

I think I should really do some photos of my hair to go with this. I think it will have to be in a follow up post however !


Bio Oil - When I tell people I use this they always want to know (obviously) does it work or not?

When I first got this I had no idea if it would work .. only hope ! I had quite a few scars on my legs from when I was younger from falling over, eczema and many clumsy accidents! I should really dig out a before and after photo ( once again ) but I think Im still too shy of how they did look to put the before photo on here. . . ! Maybe I will, I dont know.

Snap back to reality….
I am a big Bio oil fan and not only has it gradually got rid of / faded the scars on my legs it has also made my skin delightfully soft. As I said before my skin is quite dry as opposed to oily and Bio oil has really helped to keep my skin at a really heatly and moistured balance for a good while! Sometimes boots have a 3 for 2 offer which is always a good way to stock up! Ohhh and you can also buy it from Amazon a lot cheaper !
————————-

I hope some of you found some use from these very short and quick reviews.. I did not want to write too much as I know it can be boring and I do realise that photos would go along better with my reviews..I may edit or do a follow up post !

I hope everyone is well and as always thank you to all my followers/readers !

Emotions come, I don’t know why

Today I went and did some voluntary work at Oxfam, I pretty much take photos, write details and get vintage clothes ready to go up onto their new ( coming soon ) vintage shop… it is quite enjoyable. However, I was stuck inside a place with no windows (not so delightful ) and the sun was smiling away outside…I think you can guess that I would have liked to have been in a better view of the sun!
This is what I am playing right now:

What records have you been playing today?

A quick message for the Aussie girls…
Who is going to the fun Aussie event in Manchester as part of the Volume Tribe?!
It sure does sound very exciting !

My.First.Lula

Today it is dull and very rainy, ill be spending today:
looking at and applying to jobs
catching up on mflow
oh and going for a run.

The rain is making me wish I was back in Southwold on one of the many warm days we had where I spent my time reading Lula, painting my nails (I must let my nails grow) and sipping gin and tonic’s!

I got Lula when I was last in Manchester ( from Magma of course ) but due having a lack of a job I gave it to my sister to give to me for my birthday! April 5th was the first time I opened a copy of Lula…it is just the most pretty thing I have seen…so very delightful and if you have not had the chance to read a copy of Lula do make sure you do !

As I lifted each page with care – note I did not flick through this magazine – I was delighted by each page that greeted me….I then got to an interview with Joanna Newsom about her new album -how fantastic…and it really was ! So yes, I am now ready to consider myself a Lula girl. Lets hope I find a job so I can continue to buy it !

I want to say more on Joanna Newsom and her new album and of course the lovely Lula article but I think that maybe I will do a post later in the week just for her. . . Yes, that is what I will do ! Oh and I must tell you about some of the other new records I got…here is a sneaky peak to one – infatct I know many of you will have popped out to get this one too…

Sneaky peak…

Oh and before I forget the lovely heart necklace that is fitting in so well with Lula is from Fat Face and in the sale too…the colours are just perfect for me !

I do not think I will be painting my nails in the sun today!

Here are a few pretty blogs to make you smile:
Niotillfem – Everyone knows the lovely Sandra …pretty photos, outfits, mini videos and perfect shoes!

Calivintage – Lovely outfits and the most pretty hair I have seen this week ohh yes and every photo is full of sunshine and right now I am really craving the sunshine!

Capture the castle – A wide mix of fashion, film, lovely words and fitting photos !

Make.Tea.Not.War -Photos of what Jennifer did each day, magazines, lace, long fun filled posts and all things vintage…you really can not go wrong…A morning cup of coffee and this blog are the perfect way to start your day!

LogsyLou - I found this blog last night after linking from blog to blog and I am glad I did – This girls blog consists of everything I love -Bob dylan, Johnny Cash, delightful photos, all things 50s, 60s, 70s and the biggest splash of vintage you could wish for ! I do not think I need to carry on…take a look for yourself!

PomplamooseMusic

So have you heard of PomplamooseMusic ???

Untill the other evening I hadn’t and now I am totally in love. I have become more of a youtube fan over the past few days ( it helps me while I apply for jobs ) and I am so glad I found Pomplamoose!

Who are Pomplamoose? Jack Conte and Nataly Dawn you can follow the delightful couple over on twitter !

Firstly Pomplamoose means grapefruit in French and is my number one word in French….This is the MySpace page for Pomplamoose : http://www.myspace.com/pomplamoosemusic where you can have a listen to their music and follow their blog!

Even better here is their youtube page so you can go and seek out more of their videos which I can assure you will put a smile on your face !

My view: Unique and quirky twists on covers of many fantastic songs… !

MJ – Beat it

Lady Gaga – Telephone

I will be buying their music rom itunes and I am very tempted by one of their lovely tshirts which I spotted on their myspace !

Oh and before I go : Is anyone on Mflow?

I think I may have gone a little link crazy in this post…but it is better to have all the info and links at an eassy click away right?!??

A trip to the seaside for my new boots

My days are being taken up with researching delightful companies I would like to work for, writing cover letters for those companies and revising Italian!

I hope you are all having a lovely Friday.
