Stuff!

I am really nosy and love reading about what other people got for Christmas. I just wanted to share some of the cool stuff I got and some goodies I'm looking forward to trying out. Obviously I had other awesome presents off the family which I am hugely grateful for, this is just the stuff I wanted to write about :)

Lush Popcorn Lip Scrub

I love the idea of Lush.. natural ingredients and all that. I am dying to try out some of their products because the shop smells, well, lush. I just hate going into the shop and being given the hard sell, and I'm not fond of their prices either. This came in a gift box along with some other products, I have really mangey dry lips this winter so I'll give this a good go and let you know if it works!

Slendertone Flex Unisex Abs Belt

An ab belt to help me in the battle against flab.. again I will let you know how it goes. It takes 8 weeks.. I've already started using it and have noticed some difference in size and wobble, but I dont think I will see definition until I burn away the fat layer on top of the muscle. I'm doing lots of cardio at the moment for that so fingers crossed. It is cheating but what's the point of doing sit ups when 20 minutes on this thing is like doing 120 sit ups without having to actually do them? 

RealTechniques Expert Face Brush

These brushes are really doing the rounds on the youtube beauty channels. So many of the creator's relatives make beauty videos that they might just be plugging them, so I've decided to try one out for myself. Expect a review!

WWF Snow Leopard Adoption Pack

An adopted snow leopard!! I love animals and am very stressed about the planet sooo yes I cried when I saw this. I had a bengal tiger last year, such a sweet gift :) Though I wish it could come live in my garden.

Krakow Guide Book/The White Queen

Love a bit of literature at Christmas. A very handy guide book for our hol in February.. I have vowed to learn some Polish before we go but it's too hard. I borrowed The White Queen from the library but now I own it I can put it next to my others and re-read the whole Cousin's War series in chronological order :) This has been my favourite book in the series though, the history of the Woodvilles is a fascinating and turbulent one! (Oo-err check me out). 

Mary Berry's Cakes and Bakes

Enough said! I'm going to make the flapjacks as soon as I get rid of the Christmas chocolate. I also had an AMAZING cupcake book which has every variety you can imagine and has given me so much inspiration.

Cath Kidston Satchel

I was not expecting this! Possibly the only posh thing I own, it's waterproof and perfect for my Uni stuff which always gets wet when it rains. It's really sturdy and just what I've been needing!!

Soo that's it guys, expect some future posts on the beauty stuff I received and the Slendertone. I hope you aren't all too depressed now all the celebrations are over!
