reasons to be cheerful No.1

Now, I'm not normally one for lots of beauty products and smellies, but I am a sucker for pretty packaging, and when I came across the new Boots Original Beauty Formula Range, I just couldn't resist making a couple of purchases. The range is inspired by the original 18th century Boots formulas, and come the most gorgeous packaging, with glass jars and bottles, and vintage letterpress style labels. Not only do they look good on the outside, but I was impressed with the amount of natural ingredients used.



I managed to restrain myself to just two items, the Geranium Cleansing Milk and Damask Rose Skin Tonic, and have spring cleaned my bathroom shelve in honour of the new arrivals. But I am still lusting after the Rose Vanishing Cream, Rose Cold Cream (just for the names) Bergamot Overnight Skin Cream and the Bergamot & Clary Sage Bath Foam, which smells divine!

excuse my hyperventilating....

I have just come across the newly updated Cath Kidston site, and here are just a few of my favourites.....

and I which bag? Decisions, decisions.............

and apparently there's more - lots of  "coming soon....."'s, the anticipation is killing me, I need some vallium or something, it's like I've had a major sugar rush!

they need to get a new web designer though, lots of cock-ups, just to name a few, they  have a mother's bag in the new spray flowers design priced up at £0.00, which will go in the your shopping trolley (didn't have the guts to check it out though), and a picture of a blue polka dot bag instead of what's meant to be a blue rose blanket?!?!
