Weekly Weekend Roundup: Woah

October 16, 2011

So it has once again been a ridiculously long time since I updated Strawberry. I can only blame work, the truth is if I continue to walk back through my front door at 9pm every night I may consider looking for another job after Christmas.

Grump aside, Chris and I are now the owners of a very tiny, very naughty little kitten. Her name is Iah. I have taken some nice pictures of her and intend to upload them tomorrow to show her off to the world. I said after rattie died that I wouldn’t get another animal but I couldn’t resist, and the company is nice when I’m home alone. Plus she keeps my feet warm when I can’t find any socks. She’s not so kind to the sofa though…

I have also recently become a fan of two other things. Namely Castle and Lush Cosmetics. I recently went on a bit of a Lush haul and bought myself a Lemon-y bar of soap (very fresh), a Cinnamon bath bomb (Christmassy!), some Snow Fairy shower gel, a Bubblegum lip scrub, Honey lip balm, Silk Stockings, a blueberry face mask and some natural shampoo and conditioner. I have just used the shampoo for the first time and I’m awaiting my hair to dry for the verdict, but it certainly smelled nice! I needed something that would keep my hair fresh for a couple of days because my hair is prone to turn limp and a little greasy after sleeping on it. Tonight will be the test. So far my favourite products are the Silk Stockings body tint, which I use as a face bronzer and which smells divine and the face mask, which also smells divine.

The face mask has to be kept in the fridge, because all of the ingrediants in it are so fresh – but it does therefore leave a lovely cooling feeling on your face as you use it. It’s great because it doesn’t dry out my skin, but reduces the redness because of it’s balancing properties. The body tint doesn’t show up as darkly as it does in the picture, and I love it because it leaves a gentle but natural bronzed shimmer on my cheekbones and isn’t too greasy. I’m definately considering going back to get some more fruity smelling gifts for myself!

It’s a pity your work hours are poopy, especially since you were so excited to work with them.

Hopefully something more time appropriate comes your way soon :)

PS. That blueberry mask looks EDIBLE, haha.
