Monday summary

Hello! Monday again. Did you have a good weekend?


1) Doesn't my hair look shiny in these pictures?! I am loving it! My blonde hair was never shiny but my brunette locks look great in photos! Also isn't my owl top cute - I wear it to death!

2) I have upgraded my phone to an iPhone 4 and I am so unbelievably excited for its arrival tomorrow! Having internet again will be fab. I can't wait to play around with it! They're sending me a txt in the morning with an estimated delivery time so fingers crossed it's around lunchtime. I'm so impatient - I don't want to have to drive to the depot! If you have an iPhone 4 do you love it? I want to get a really pretty cover for it :)

3) I have a really cool giveaway coming up on Lily loves Lola this week - stay tuned!

4) 2 weeks today I will be moving! Where to!? I still don't know! I have a viewing on Wednesday, and another possibility, but no definite place. I must like to live on the edge! :) It's exciting to think I have got a fresh start but I really hope to find a little place this week.

5) Did I mention I'm getting an iPhone 4? Argh I am so excited! I have never had a 'cool' phone!

What are your 5 good things this week?

It's tough to be a Pug

Pugs really are the cuddliest little creatures ever. Lily and Lola love to snuggle with each other, me, and anyone who will sit still for long enough! Lily loves to climb up onto my Mum's sofa and join Chilli the Chihuahua for a nosy out of the window and a snooze. Chilli never seems to be happy about sharing his special spot, but he doesn't have much choice :)


It must be tiring being so cute and smooshy-faced all the time! Lily and Lola are also very greedy. They will do just about anything for a treat. They will even hold still for a photo if a dog biscuit is the reward!

"Come on Mummy, I'm hungry!!"

Wedding bells

This is just a little post to say congratulations to my big Sis, Adele, and her boyfriend Steve, or should I say fiance! They just got back from a week in Las Vegas and after 4 years together Steve popped the question. I'm really pleased for them both - I just know they'll be very happy together. Have a peek at her sparkler! The lucky thing. A Tiffany engagement ring is my dream!


All this talk of weddings got me and my Mum chatting about her wedding in the 70s. I love this old photo of my parents outside the Church - it was 17 April 1976. I totally wish my Mum still had her dress and ear pom-poms, but she gave them to charity a couple of years ago! :(


Love you Mum and Dad!

Product rave: The Cloud Nine Iron

From the title you can see this is going to be a complete RAVE! I simply adore this product and I can't wait to share this post with you ladies. You may have come across these before in other blog posts, or this may be a new product to you; either way I hope you find my review helpful!

The product in question is by Cloud Nine and it's the Original Straightening Iron. They came beautifully presented in sleek, sophisticated packaging. I wanted to keep them in the box forever because it made them feel even more special (yes I am sad!)

Shall we take a closer look?


Who are Cloud Nine?
We're the founders of ghd, and we've united with Unil Electronics, the inventors of the original ghd iron. Having walked away from that brand in 2006, we're back with a styling solution that hasn't just moved with the times, but is ahead of the times. We've created an iron packed with innovative technology. An iron so clever, it opens up a world of exciting new styling opportunities.

Packaging is important but what about the product itself? In a sentence, I think these straighteners are amazing! I have always been a ghd girl at heart - my trusty ghds did me proud for several years and I didn't think anything else would ever come close. I tried other brands along the way but nothing gave me the finish I desired.

There are several amazing features with the Cloud Nine irons:
* Dual adaptor/Universal voltage - perfect for taking on holiday and not having to worry about an adaptor plug or lack of power.
* Hibernation mode - we've all done it; left the house and forgotten whether we've turned the damn things off! Now you don't need to worry. After 30 minutes of not being used the irons will cool down to 'box temperature'.
* Temperature control panel - YOU choose the temperature depending on the style you want to create. It's super easy to increase or decrease the temperature as you go.
* Swivel cord - no more getting tangled up in the cord.

Included in the box is a heat guard so you don't need to worry about burning a hole in your carpet, or if you're like me, resting them up against a bottle of fake tan and melting a hole straight through!

Aside from all of the brilliant features, these irons give a sleek, smooth, shiny finish to my hair. See!


This product was sent to me for reviewing purposes but I have tested them out with an honest and throrough approach. The Original Irons are priced at £129.95 here, and you can snap up a free bottle of St Tropez if you order now! They come with a 2 year warranty for peace of mind. I am converted!
