Me, myself and I

* I drive a silver Smart car which I love love love.. before that I drove a black Smart car.. and I can't imagine having any other car! (scuse the dirt!)

* My absolute favourite place in the world is Orlando, Florida. I went last month for 2 weeks, it was my 5th trip there, and I can honestly say I would never get bored of going! Theme parks + sunshine + huuge portions + iced tea + Disney + friendly folk = WINNER!

* My dogs are my babies and I love love love them to bits. Me and my boyfriend have 2 Pugs that we adopted from the Dogs Trust and he has a dog from before we got together - a Bichon Frise. The Pugs are such little characters! They follow us around everywhere, and I mean everywhere! No trip to the toilet is sacred anymore. They sleep a lot, eat a lot, and snore quite loudly.

* My dream job would be a pilot. I took flying lessons once and it was the best thing ever, I loved it. Unfortunately I'm not rich enough or clever enough to get a pilots license. Dang.

.

* My 2nd dream job would be a zoo keeper. Lack of zoos in Leeds has been a problem.

.

* I'm addicted to drinking cups of tea. If I can't have tea for any reason I get sick.. I need Tea Anonymous!

Moi!:

Boots Original Beauty Formula

When it comes to skincare I have tried everything. My skin is very fussy and I tend to struggle with it most of the time. I like having pretty, expensive bottles in my bathroom but my skin tends to favour cheaper products (my purse isn't complaining).

I once tried Dermalogica. I had heard so many good things about it so I picked some up from the beauty salon I go to. A week later I had a rash all over my face (let's face it, noone wants that!). The Clinique 3 step soap, toner and moisturiser sucked the life out of my skin, and the toner just felt (and smelt) like paint stripper to me. The latest I have tried is Clarins. I went for an eyebrow wax and the beauty therapist was kind enough (!) to comment on my oily forehead (note that I haven't been back to her since). I felt obliged to get a new cleanser and toner which would apparently do wonders for me. Initially it seemed to clear my skin up but then it just stopped working and *sob* my oily forehead was back once more.

I paid a visit to Boots last week and came across their Original Formula collection. I'm a sucker for nice packaging and I instantly loved the old fashioned, vintage style of the bottles and tubs!

I decided to get the Cold Cream (50ml) - a bargain at £3.89 (that was with a £1 off promotion).

Yes it looks a little bit like what my granny would have used back in the day, but so far it is doing the trick! The cream is dead thick (which I like) and it has a nice fragrance. I rub it in all over my face and neck quite thickly, every morning and every evening, then rinse using a warm flannel. Then I have a quick once over with a face wipe and hey presto, all my make-up is off!

I also like the look of the Vanishing Day Cream which is currently on offer with £3 off and claims to "literally vanish into the skin" and is "blended to richly hydrate without leaving excess oils" which sounds good to me!

Has anyone used the Vanishing Day Cream? Is it as good as it sounds?

It's Britney b*tch!

Me and my boyfriend headed down to London the week before last for the opening night of Britney's tour at the O2 arena. I'm not a huge Britney fan but I appreciate cheesey music as much as the next person and with my bf's Mum offering to buy us tickets (her treat) I was there with bells on!

The intro from Perez Hilton was pretty ace but slightly freaky (at one point he's chewing on a baby's head on a stick..wtf!). Then down she came!

Our seats were really good and she was gooood... but she didn't sing live (which we assumed anyway), her dancing was kinda sluggish (I reckon I could have done it with a bit of practice.. I have been known to throw similar shapes in the past) and she only spoke to the audience TWICE the whole show. And when people are paying £50 a ticket that's pretty lame.

But.. we had a good time all the same and spent 2 days in London seeing the sights, shopping and coaxing myself onto the tube - it made me soo sick! :( I could NOT do that every day.

And this is me:

(LOL!)

(Outside the British Museum with random pretty shrubbery in the background. Wearing my fave Dior sunglasses and Topshop 'Garden Rose' oversized top - one of my current faves).

And lastly me being a total geek:

(In my latest Uggs (tall, metallic bronze) and current fave Victoria's Secret Pink hoodie).

Did anyone else see Britney at the O2 arena?

Love,

Be nice, I'm new! :)

If you have been kind enough to visit my new blog and take the time to read this and, at the moment, pretty much nothing else then "thanks so much"! And "hi!" I hope to start posting properly over the next few days and I'd love it if you came back to check it out.

I have been spending a LOT of time at work lately reading other people's amazing blogs and thought I would join in. I love beauty products and go shopping pretty much every day so I'm always spotting new things and spending my not so hard-earned cash on lovely shiny sparkly things.

Photos etc coming soon too!

Lots of love,
Vxxx
