Lovea Bio Burkina Shea Nourishing Body Balm

IMG_9366-1

Thank you to the fantastic team at MyPure for sending me this Lovea Bio Nourishing Body Balm !  It is ideal for dry/very dry skin and I can already say that after a week of using this my skin is feeling a lot softer and any dry patches are going ! I had cheese the other day I KNOW I KNOW, no way did I do such a thing. Well yes, I did and my arms obviously became sore along with my dainty / clumsy fingers. So I have been using this on my arms and I am really noticing a difference and it seems to be clearing up the cheese situation! It obviously does sting a little if you put it onto broken skin, it is to be expected though. It does not make my skin itch at all which I think is fab because if I use a cream with a beautiful smell it sometimes makes me itchy! Grrr….but once again Love Bio do good ! 

I pop it on once a day after my shower, maybe I should be doing it twice ! I am taking it with me on my trip to Italy so I will let you know how I get on with it ! 

It costs £6.49 for a pot full of creamy cream with a delightful sweet smell, though it is not too over powering!

What is in my bag..who gives a shit !

IMG_9243
So I have my Radley card purse, Paul Theroux ‘Ghost Train To The Eastern Star’, Dodo Diary, Miu Miu glasses, Hemp hand cream, Rimmel blush and lipstick, hair brush ( a new item to enter my bag), work keys and of course… my brolly !

IMG_9255
There is also my train tickets too which I keep in this pretty Cath Kidston holder !

There is lots more rubbish usually in my bag…but these are what has been in it each day this week. My BB and iPod are both on charge so they didn’t get the chance to be in the photo. I also keep a variety of inhalers, a base coat nail polish and my lunch. I do plan to do more of these kinds of posts though as I change my bag quite often and the things that go inside it..Im not sure anyone is interested but I know I like a sneaky peak into other peoples bags!

Anyway, this is what it all went into today : Topshop handbag ..

IMG_9252
I had a collection of photos to show you…but sadly in a mad rush of putting photos onto work computers and such my personal ones got lost along the way. I really wasn’t happy to find this out last night, but oh well, I will make sure I take more for you !

I have a busy day at work on the morrow, a project is nearing the end as well as it being the last day of some lovely people in the office. I will be sad to see them go.. however it wont be long till I will be leaving either…eeeek ! But it will open new doors and experiences..!

Sneaky peak at one of many make up based items I got last week:

I hope everyone is well and keeping warm in this very cold weather !

A positive end to the week and start of a new..

IMG_9000
Today was about cooking, sorting out things in my room and making plans! 
The past week: 
I have managed to spend a little too much in the past week. I have got myself some new make up from MAC, Benefit and No7 ( make use of those £5 Boots vouchers everyone) ! I am at long last understanding the need for make up brushes, though I am yet to buy some. My mini brush set will do for now ! 
Box sets – I am open to anything so give mew some suggestions..I have been on Mad Men, The Shield, Sex And The City and I want to watch Deadwood this week ! 
I had a few meetings regarding some photography projects which is very exciting. 
I am back at the gym after a week and a half off because of having the flu. I must say it is delightful to be back in there, I am looking at still doing three days a week and two classes. 
I have booked a little Christmas trip to Germany !

I saw a Faith sfx on Friday.. an amazing beat boxer, I had never seen any such thing live before and it sucked me right in! 

I made some healthy breakfast bars today for this week. I hope I get round to making my soup on the morrow ! 
———-
I hope you have all had a lovely weekend !
