Beautiful Weather :)

Hi Ladies

Here were are....a couple of weeks into the World Cup. So how are your Husbands/Boyfriends/Brothers/Dads doing???? I think I had it pretty easy, we had a sad few minutes then we decided to adopt our usual Spain & now there's excitement back in the competition :) If I'm honest, I was starting to get a bit sick of the football, but actually it's turned out pretty fabulous. I have a brand new leather sofa to sit on, I've re-arranged the lighting in the front room & I've made myself a lovely magazine reading area. Oh the fashion......it's been so beautiful. I realised this morning (not that I'm wishing any of this fabulous summer away) that it's only 1 month until the fashion issues will come crashing through the letter box :)

So what about this beautiful weather? I have already heard that we may have a hose pipe ban but who cares when the sun is shining? Watering cans take a little longer but that means more time outside, lovely :) It's just been so lovely to go out without thinking I might need a cardigan or an umbrella.....it's flip flops all the way :)

Oh, I have an update on the double moisturising, I've still been taking the Red magazine's beauty editor's advice on moisturising with cream then a layer of oil (see my last post) & it's truly fabulous. I haven't missed a day since I got home from Ibiza & my tan is hanging on longer than usual & my skin feels so soft, I LOVE it. I think this lady needs a name check, will find out & post it next time :)

My summer read this year has been Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. I just LOVE it. It's a book about her journey in Rome, India & Bali. The blurb on the back describes it best "funny, tender and thoughtful, EAT, PRAY, LOVE is a hilarious travelogue and a brave quest for spiritual enlightenment in the face of natural scepticism. Consoling and inspiring, written with tremendous wit, intelligence and sympathy, it is a book for anyone who has ever felt lost, or thought they must be another, better way" In the words of my friend Claire...."try it...you might like it" :)

On the subject of Claire, I need to make a change, she has always been 'Clayer' to me & so when I write her name as it is actually spelt, it seems weird to me (& her). So, from now on in this blog she will be known as Clayer :)

June has been a super busy month, I've been making a new collection of clutch bags, my Husband had a birthday & my beautiful niece turned 3, can you believe it??? So HAPPY BIRTHDAY TINY love you lots.

This week is Style Step's 1st birthday party http://www.stylestep.co.uk/ so we're looking forward to a gathering on Thursday evening :) (news to follow)

On to sad news, did anyone see the series finale of Brothers & Sisters????? I honestly think it was the saddest TV I have ever seen......I cried buckets. As usual my Supersis is behind on her TV so I can't say anymore than that but OMG............. A happier TV moment, Ghost Whisperer is back this Wednesday (30th June) Living TV 9pm...LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!

Well ladies, enjoy the beautiful sunshine & hopefully find something lovely to do while the football is on.

More soon
