A Day in the World

I came across this on fat mum slim's site and was immediately drawn to this and really wanted to give this a go.   So this came from a movement called 'A day in the world' who were encouraging people to pick up their cameras and snap away.  The idea was to snap daily life and share in a worldwide photographic event.  Unfortunately it was only up until May 22nd, however I decided to do it anyway.

I started off well, but then it slowly died down, here was my day last weekend

The time I woke up 

Getting ready for the gym

My breakfast

Just posing for the camera before I have to do some work

My lunch - pastie and coleslaw

Afternoon text from my husband

And its go go go at the Monaco GP

Time to unbox one of the Beauty Boxes....look at the goodies!

Prepping a salad for the evening

I used my digital camera for this and its fair to say I failed.....think I will try again this weekend

May 2012 GlossyBox Review

So Happy Birthday Glossybox as they celebrated one year!  So what did they have in store for us?

Well a bumper box full of goodies!

So what did I get:

• Noble Isle - Summer Rising Bath & Shower Gel - love the cent
• Lolita Lempicka - L'Eau en Blanc and Si Lolita - so cute
• Weleda Body Milk - problem with this is that its in another language!!!
• Uniqone All in One Hair Treatment
• Let's Go Lashes
• Compact Glossybox Mirror
• Glossybox balloon

So although a number of goodies, still something I'm not completely over the moon with.  I probably was expecting more from their birthday box.  I think I will use the Shower Get, perfume and possibly the hair treatment and thats about it.  As for the eye lashes I'm not sure, in three boxes I have recieved a pair of eyelashes, last time I had fake eyelashes on were for my wedding and even then someone put the on for me!  Maybe I need to try them out....will see.

What did you think of the box?  I think I will give Glossybox one last go and if I'm not impressed, I think I will cancel my subscription

April 2012 GlossyBox Review

Very late but it was only last week that I managed to open all my boxes.  So first up is the April Edition.  This time its all about Natural Beauty.  Five Natural Beauty Products with 'green' goodness!  The box was a 100% biodegradable box.

So the 5 products I got were: -

• Caudalie - Vinosource SOS Thirst - Quenching Serum
• Inika Organic Eyeliner in Green Lagoon 
• Monu Professional Enriched Body Cream
• Figs & Rogue Lip Balm
• Philip B Drop Dead Straightening Balm

I'm a bit disappointed with this box, I really like the concept of Natural Beauty but the products in here were not the things I would normally use.  I will use the lip balm, the eye liner (love the colour) and thats about it.  

Glossy Box needs to improve otherwise I will probably stop my subscription.  If you subscribe to Glossybox what did you think?
