Blogs Of A Shopaholic

Hey everyone, Well, as always, it's been a fair ol' while since I published on here (about a month if I'm exact)! Why?Life just got crazy! To be fair it's my own fault - I have two children and their birthdays fall on the 20th November and the 20th December so I only have myself to blame, but I've also had 11+ results and school applications to think about, numerous school dress up/down days to sort out and also Christmas planning so I kind of feel I'm living my life in one of those 1970's spin dryers!!!! My life has literally become one long crazy "to-do" list that I'm barely making an indent into it right now.  On the plus side though, my other little sideline, Hariam Jewellery & Accessories has been doing really well and I've loved putting aside all the stresses and strains and sometimes just spending an entire day making new pieces of jewellery or completing orders for customers.  Thank you to everyone who has supported both my ...

October has literally just flashed past before my eyes!  I have been so busy and have fallen a little behind in terms of blog posts which I'm determined to put right as of now.  So let's get straight into the things I've been reaching for over the last 31 days......

I pop this on after my moisturiser and before foundation and I love how it makes my skin feel nourished and prepped. Bourjois 123 Perfect CC Cream This is a repurchase of mine as it's my favourite everyday go-to face produc...

Hey everyone, We are well and truly into Autumn now and so today I am bringing you my review of the October My Little Box.  I had a few tense days waiting for mine to arrive again but I think my postman is getting used to my crazed looks around the same time of the month! Luckily for you guys I haven't progressed onto You Tube Unboxing's just yet otherwise all you would hear would be high-pitched shrieks! I am in such wonder that My Little Box can produce box after box of such great quality items, but they just get better and better.  The theme this month is "Brooklyn" and the artwork on the cover of the box is of a lady sitting on a Brooklyn side-walk drinking a cup of coffee.  There is also a sticker on the inside of the outer box of a doughnut and the words "Donut Worry".  I love the little stickers - they just make me smile when I see them! The first thing inside is a card with a sketch drawing of Brooklyn and on the back is the idea behind ...
