What have I been doing?

Posted on by Chantelle

I am spending less money when I go out

I signed up for my very 1st GlossyBox and will receive it in June. Hope I get some nice goodies to try out.

I have finished as far as I can go on Fringe Season 4 and I am dying to get my hands on more.

I am waiting for the final 3 episodes of Vampire Diaries S3, anybody have them yet?

Getting together with the Girls & watching The Vow today with Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams. It’s bound to be a tear-jerker. I have been dying to watch this movie since I saw the trailer a few weeks back.

I also cannot wait to watch The Lucky One based on the Nicholas Sparks novel, watch this steamy trailer & tell me you are not wanting to be in her place:

Spending Sunday with my mom for Mothers Day and I hope she likes her present. I am also hoping to get her other present in time – a canvas mounted picture from my brothers wedding – I am going to use the 1st pic for mom and I think I will do the family picture for me:

Buying the 2nd Hunger Games book – I am ashamed to say I have’t a clue what it is called, I just know I need it. My attention is not really being held by books at the moment and The Hunger Games is the 1st book in a while that I really enjoyed.

Buying another pack of white chocolate Tim Tams – I adore white chocolate and when I found the white chocolate Tim Tams in the shop I did a little “eeeek” and then proceeded to dance a happy dance then snapped a pic of the Tim Tams to send to Tee. Turns out she had been saving the surprise for my birthday. Oops!

What have you been up to?

To GlossyBox or Not?

Posted on by Chantelle

I have heard a little bit about the Glossy Box subscription & I am not sure if I should do it or not.

I am always hesitant to spend alot of money on products because I am never sure if I am going to like the product or whether it is suitable for my skin/hair type.

Theoretically this sounds like a great way to try a bunch of products without having to spend alot of money.

I have looked over their last 2 months boxes and there seems to be alot of masks, creams etc.

I am looking mainly to try make up & perfumes.

Foundations, eyeliners, eye shadows etc with the odd cream or exfoliator.
