What Made Me Smile This Week

The first full week after the Christmas holidays is always a bit of a tricky/depressing one, but we are having a New Years party at our house this weekend to celebrate all the things that 2014 will bring.

Also this week I am so pleased that I have had my first paying customers for my Gel nails and I'm loving my new Roo Amazon Beauty Case (above) that fits everything perfectly.

Here are a few other bits that made me smile this week.

Love these Gorgeous Party Paper Cups which would be fab to keep on hand for any impromptu gatherings.

I'm so bored with the horrid weather am so pleased that we booked our summer holiday flights to Menorca this week.  Perhaps I need a Stunning Travel Wallet to accompany me!

These Gorgeous Champagne Coupes would be a very welcome addition to our cocktail cabinet.

Wishing this week I had some extra pennies to treat myself to more sale items...especially this 

Whistles Double Pocket Bag

Really loving Cosy looking Cushions at the moment and was delighted with these soft, tartan cushions from BHS which were a lovely Christmas gift from G's parents.

Favourite things...

If you had to write a list of your favourite things, would you know what to put on there?  I don't think I would.  It takes me a while to remember as it's often the smallest, quite insignificant things that make me happy and think 'Ahhh this is the best'.  This week I have had 3 of those moments and I remember how good it feels and how these are some of my favourite things.

Less of the 'Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens', although that is one of my favourite films, this week is was more of 'Soft crispy bed covers and high count Egyptian cotton, brand new nail vanish and hot soup with cheese on.'

Sooooo pleased with my new bed linen from HomeSense (TK Maxx home department store) this week.  Reduced from £69.99 to £29.99! I've never bought expensive bed linen before so I love the idea that at HomeSense you can get designer, expensive bedlinen for the same price as Ikea ones.  New bed linen - Definitely a favourite thing!

Tinned tomato soup - already a favourite thing.  But add grated cheese, worcestershire sauce, croutons and pepper and a chunk of fresh bed.....EVEN BETTER!!!

Brand new nail vanish - FAVOURITE THING!  There is nothing gloopy or tacky about it.  It goes on so smoothly and straight. Amazing!!!!  Loving this Essie colour 'wikid', however I think it's still a bit too summery for such a dark colour.  I might have to shelve this colour for a month or so.
