Good morning girls!

What's the weather like where you are? It's turned a bit chilly here in England the past few days, it's almost time for scarves, gloves and hats. What better way to warm up once inside than with a hot drink?

I was once lucky enough to be given Whittard hot chocolate as a Christmas gift a few years ago but since then, I've never been tempted to go back to it due to the price tag. However, I was in a Whittard outlet store last month and saw that tubs of hot chocolate were reduced from £5.50 to £3.
I wouldn't pay £5.50 for this but I think £3 is reasonable.

So why didn't I buy any of these when I had the opportunity? Because I wasn't yet ready for the hot chocolate season. How silly of me. It really was a missed opportunity as I won't be going back to that outlet store anytime soon.

What's your favourite winter warmer?

Wednesday's Wishlist (calling all butterfly fans!)

Good morning girls!

I'm currently making a scrapbook and whilst looking online for images of butterflies to draw on the pages, I stumbled across this image:

Isn't it beautiful?! It's designed by Grainne Morton and comes with a rather hefty price tag so
I don't think this will be decorating my wrist any time soon but I was just really taken by all the colours and the design.

Is this something you would wear?

What animals do you like on your jewellery?

Hi girls,

How are you? What have you been up to?

I came back from Paris on Friday night and then spent the weekend in the south of England. Now I'm on a job in Liverpool for the next two weeks which means leaving the house at 7.30am and not coming back until 7pm therefore on my wishlist this week is...

TIME

What's on your wishlist this week?

Hey girls! Yesterday was my birthday :-) Your blogger has now reached the grand old age of 25. As I've said, I'm working in Paris, so I didn't really get to celebrate but that's okay, I received lots of nice birthday messages.

While I've been in France, one thing has caught my eye every single day: the poster for Bourjois 10 day chip-free nail polish

Before I came here, I actually considered trying the Bourjois 1 second nail polish but I couldn't justify the price (£6 for 6ml). I haven't seen how much these long lasting nail polishes retail for but might they be worth a try? What do you think?

Good morning ladies,

How are you today? Who has Friday off work for the Royal Wedding? If so, what are your plans for this second long weekend in a row?

I mentioned in my previous post that I'd been away to Wales for the Easter weekend. My trip has inspired this week's wishlist:

Yep, what I'd like is soft, luxurious, fluffy towels :-)
The towels I use are thin, scrawny pieces of material which were bought in Big W over six years ago when I was kitting myself out for the big move to university. Staying in hotels at the weekend where towels of more substantial quality were provided has made me think it's time for an upgrade...

These towels are all from John Lewis but I'm open to suggestions about where I should head for the fluffiest towels!

Do you care about the quality of your towels? What's on your wishlist this week?

Bye for now,
Laura

Good morning girls,

Although Easter will soon be upon us, it's not Easter eggs that are on this week's wishlist, oh no, it's the latest offering from Francine Pascal, creator of Sweet Valley High:

When I was a child, I devoured as many Sweet Valley books as I could find. Sweet Valley Kids, Sweet Valley Twins, Sweet Valley High, Sweet Valley University.... I loved them all.

Earlier this week I discovered that a new Sweet Valley book has recently been released, revealing what happened to the twins once they became adults (who knows whether it will tie in with the Sweet Valley University series). I've read the reviews, and unsurprisingly they aren't glowing, but I'd still like to read this book and take a trip down Sweet Valley memory lane :-)

Were you a fan of the Sweet Valley books? Who was your favourite character? Mine was Jessica :-)

Bye for now,

Currently listening to: Bills, Bills, Bills by The Warblers

Hello girls,

When I was browsing on Amazon yesterday I came across this cd which has made it on to this week's wishlist:

I love The Warblers, I think they're the best thing about Glee :-) Some performances from the original Glee singers are good but in general I find the girls' voices are so sickly sweet that they ruin a lot of the songs so The Warblers are much more to my liking.

Are you a fan of The Warblers?

Bye for now,
Laura
