My new sinful addiction....

Despite trying to be healthy and toning up for the wedding...... I recently came across the salted caramel sauce in Marks & Spencer's. I couldn't resist buying a jar to try, at only £3 it would have been rude not to. Unfortunately for me it was as good as I had expected and I'm now addicted! It's beautifully sweet with a subtle hint of salt. It can be easily heated in the microwave to drizzle over ice cream or even a chocolate brownie (if you're feeling like splashing out). My preference is to have it hot, but it tastes just as good cold.
In conclusion if you're going past Marks & Spencer's it's worth popping in to buy a jar, or avoiding at all costs if you're on a diet!
Hope you enjoy it as much as me! X

Something to brighten up your day!

Looking for something to brighten up that empty space on your desk at work or at home? I recently came across these cute quote postcards, I love how simple, yet effective they're. I picked the three below as they put a smile on my face when I looked at them, plus I loved the colours, my favourite is the home sweet home one. I've decided to put the smile everyday one in my office at work, for those days when I need a little pick me up. I might even get some frames from Wilkinsons to put them in. 
For £1.99 the postcards are a bargain and can be found on www.esty.com/shop/bhambina the only hard part will be deciding which of the 24 designs to buy! x

Nail transfers - the cheats way to nail art!

Ok so as much as I love doing nails, I've never been a massive fan of doing nail art mainly because I find it a bit of a faff. Unfortunately for me nail art seems to have become much more popular over the last year, many of my lovely friends have been asking me to do some on their nails. I decided Instead of saying no I'd have a look around to see if I could find alternative ways to add a bit of art to their nails, without spending hours free-handing and that's when I came across Hailthenails on Etsy. They offer a good range of cute transfers and striping tape, which all come with easy to follow instructions and can be used with both gel and polish. The transfers are perfect for adding that little bit extra to your nails without having to freehand hooray!
The average cost on Hailthenails for the transfers is between £1.99-£2.25 plus delivery. I've recently bought the black lace ones and can't wait to try them! Keep your eyes peeled on Instagram for photos.
I recently used them on my sisters nails pictured below and I love them, hope you do too x 

The transfers in the photo below are the English rose decal pink and peach.

Lush - Lip Scrub

This is my product of the week, mainly because as the weather has changed, my lips are yet again dry and flakey! After looking around I came across the Lush lip scrub, which comes in three different scents bubblegum, mint julips and popcorn. All three smell amazing so it was hard to choose which one to go for, but in the end I decided to go for popcorn. The lip scrub is really delicate to use it's made up of sugar, sea salt & coconut oil to help remove dead skin and moisturise at the same time. It leaves your lips feeling silky smooth and hydrated, I love the fact that my lip gloss now doesn't look bitty when's it's on. Better yet it's only £5.50 and if you accidentally get any in your mouth it actually tastes nice, not that i'm advocating eating it!
It's definitely worth purchasing, the tricky part is deciding which of the three scrubs to go for! X
