Its a beautiful day........don't let it get away!

As you know I have not been too well lately, after visiting the doctors yesterday I found out I may have to have an operation. I have to go for a hospital appointment next week to discuss some things. The blood test results came back to show that I am extremely anaemic so that why I have not been feeling well.

Today I popped into town as I had another appointment...I am popular! Whilst out I took the Primark bag back.

I ended up exchanging it for this lovely summer bow front sundress






















also brought these white pumps which I am not 100% sure on as I am not keen on white shoes! However I do think these will be cute in warmer weather.




















and these sunglasses.




















I also brought this bag in the New Look sale, its like a nude pink which will be nice for spring/summer.




















In Boots I brought this Barry M nail varnish in Strawberry Ice Cream. I have seen this on many blogs and always think it looks such a pretty colour.


















I was going to look in River Island at the bags I like but I started to feel really unwell again so just wanted to go home. I ache all over and just feel so tired.

Its such beautiful weather today, hope everyone is having a nice day

REVIEW: Superdrug Solait Instant Bronze Tan Medium

Hello

Well I have had a little lie down and I am feeling a lot better. Thank you for all your kind comments. Maybe I just needed a rest.

Last week my mother in law did a jumble sale in aid of a diabetic charity as Mike's brother is diabetic and I happened to pop in. To be honest there was not a lot of good stuff but I did buy this for 50p. Its Solait Instant Bronze Tan (Medium Matte) from Superdrug and retails at £4.50.


This is what it claims:

This Solait Instant Bronzer is specifically formulated to provide an immediate, flawless, natural looking tan.

Enriched with Aloe Vera and Vitamin E to intensly moisturise and condition the skin. It is easy to apply and quick drying to leave you bronzed and ready in minutes. Washes off with soap and water.

This is for the face and body.

The Result




















Well I have to say I only have praise for this product.

Sorry but the flash makes it look a bit lighter than it actually is. I rather rushed when putting it on so therefore it looks like I put more on one leg than the other!!

It gives a great instant tan colour, you can go darker with it if you wish, this colour is just with one application. You can see where you are applying it gives a lovely colour and has good coverage and rubs in very easily.

I think there are two cons with this, you have to be careful around the feet area it may be best to apply moisturiser first on the feet and secondly it washes off so therefore if it rains you may be in trouble. Obviously you would not be able to go swimming with it on but its ideal if you just want a nice bit of colour for a day or evening out when its not going to be raining!

Also its not tested on animals and its suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

They do sell it in a shimmer version too but I prefer this version as its more like a natural tan.

I am definitely going to buy it again and at only £4.50 its a bargain.

Feeling rubbish!

I feel awful today to be honest I have been feeling like this all week, I have been crying almost every day and I have a headache and just feel like I have zero energy.

I do have thyroid problems so thats part of it although I am on medication for the rest of my life...but also I am slighty anaemic. The doctor thinks the anaemia may have got worse so I had to go for more blood tests in the week. I have a doctors appointment Monday morning about my results. I am meant to take iron but I hate the stuff so I have not been taking it...naughty me! I know I should take it and I only have myself to blame but it makes me feel worse!
I just feel so drained and tired.

Today I wanted to go into town as I wanted to take back the Primark cream bag I brought as after getting it home notice the strap was miles too long its almost down to my knees. I think that bag was made for tall people. Maybe its because I am short ha ha
Anyway I was going to take this back and I wanted to get some essentials in Boots and Superdrug and some make up but I cannot be bothered. I also wanted to take a look at the bags I like in River Island.

Instead hubby and I went to Tesco this morning to do our weekly shop but I did not feel like even doing that and could not wait to get out of there, it was packed with screaming kids and you know when you have a headache you just don't feel like it.

Anyway I am home now and hubby has gone to watch his beloved football team so I am going to stay in and may go to bed and read a book. I brought this book ages ago and have been meaning to read it.















I have mentioned before I love Sophie Kinsella's Shopaholic books. I keep meaning to get the Mini Shopaholic but I am going to wait till nearer my holiday and get it then and take it on holiday to read I always take about 3 or 4 books on holiday. I also want to get A Vintage Affair by Isobel Wolff as recommended by Emma at http://passionforfashion1983.blogspot.com/2011/03/monthly-missions-part-3.html blog.
She said it was really good.

Sorry I know this sounds like a self pitying post its not meant to sound that way!

Have a lovely weekend everyone

Glamour Mag - Clinique giveaway

I notice a few bloggers have been buying Glamour magazine this month and they have various Clinique freebies.

I got the High Impact Black Mascara I have wanted to try this mascara for a while.




















You can get any one of these items free with the magazine.




















I was going to do an outfit post today but its just way too cold so therefore I just put on my H&M black knitted dress and black opaques...pretty boring but warm.

Thomas is cold too he has been cuddled up on our bed today with his blanket around him.

Last night hubbie popped to Tesco and brought me back this:
















I cannot seem to find these in many places but I love this chocolate bar it has little rice crispie bits in....yummy!

Lunch and a little haul

Hello everyone

Yesterday I had to go for another appointment in town and one of my friends worked in town so she met me for lunch. We went to our favourite little italian where the waiter always flirts with me, my friend is always saying he fancies me...rather embarassing! Its a nice italian you can have any pizza or pasta for £4.95 which was followed by us sharing a hot chocolate fudge cake!

I popped in Primark...of course and brought a few items

I love this bag its so much bigger than usual cross body bags and I love cream.

















Also brought this little dress/tunic ideal for summer with a tan belt and only £7.



















Floral earrings

















and some underwear and brown grips!

I also popped into Boots as I needed to get some make up and brought my usual Revlon foundation and my favourite Barry M lipstick 147, its like a peachy pink colour.

















Thomas also got brought a little treat I popped into Tesco and brought him a bag of these...He loves them.


















Also last week I won this Topshop tunic courtesy of ebay.
I love these tops as like the one from Primark they are just so great with a tan belt. I already have this top in black.















Just a quick note a while back I blogged that I loved this bag from Primark, I saw it in store yesterday and I have to admit the quality is absolutely shocking! Looks so pretty in this photo but honestly its rubbish!






















Also I contact my payroll and the tax office re my wage problem it looks like I owed tax from ages ago and instead of them taking it out monthly they took the whole lot back in one go! Wonderful....so my wages are down by£250...! Not much spending this month me thinks! On the plus side at least its all paid back and my tax code has gone higher which means from March onwards I will be paying less tax.
