Just a quick DIY

Some DIY inspiration for our lovely readers, i have been making some cards and envelopes for friends for christmas. i used an envelope template which i altered slightly on illustrator and photoshop and then added the galaxy photos from here (some incredible photos on that site!), added font, printed it out, cut it, folded it and VOILA! there you have some unique envelopes, sure they aren't very festive but they're so sparkly i think i can get away with it ;)

Cheap Frills

Cheap frills is a cool little online jewellery shop i discovered a few months back, i purchased an oak leaf bracelet with gold chain and because i bought it in the month of October (so long ago i know...!) i got a free 'corpse bride' ring with it, i love the ring its so quirky and fun.

Happy Hippy

The newest addition to my shower gel collection! My current favourite is the satsuma one from body shop (£2); it smells so fresh and really wakes you up in the morning! My dad actually bought me this one, its the Happy Hippy shower gel from Lush, i dont know how much it was but seeing as its Lush probably around the £5 mark?

The smell, the smell, the smell. oh my god. It is just SO good, i want to drink this stuff! It is a grapefruit shower gel, but whats nice is that although it is very strongly scented its not too sweet, but also not as bitter as the actual fruit, its the perfect balance.

It says that its the 'ultimate gel to wake you up in the morning or keep you awake all night' AND you can use it in your hair to make it smell incredible.
