My iPhone 4 covers

Normally when I'm into something, I tend to go and get several of it....phone covers being my latest craze.

So my phone looks like this....how boring!

A couple of quid off ebay, simple but not too plain

I then came across a Rabito case, which I think is so cute.  You can use the ears to tie the earphones around.  Very handy.

My latest case is one of my favourites.  This was from my sister in law.  So sweet.

More cases to follow.....

ClaireaBella Bag...the first of many!

I first came across ClaireaBella in a newspaper and seeing the TOWIE girls clutching one.  I then went onto do some research on the internet as I was fascinated by the designs!  They are gorg!

ClaireaBella Jute bags come in a range of sizes and designs.  The medium and large bags are available in two styles, the ClaireaBella Classic and ClaireaBella Originals.

The Originals are bespoke bags, which are subject to availability.  Because I couldn't wait, I chose the ClaireaBella Classic which is just as good.  I ordered mine just before xmas and received it the other day. I was so happy!

Each bag is hand painted and you get to choose the ClaireaBella Style, hair colour, hair style, eye colour and text.

My ClaireaBella with an elegant bow and Swarovski crystals.

A 'Hand Made in Love' silver charm

ClaireaBella has just launched a Valentines collection with bags as well...there are only 250 of them available, each with their own certificate.  Grab yours before they're all gone!

Nails Inc Magnetic Effect Polish Review

The Nails Inc Magnetic Effect Polish came out some time ago but as I had bought so much nail varnish I decided to give it a miss.  However my sister in law got it for me for Christmas.

The difference with this is that there is a magnet on the top of the lid.  Hopefully you can see it in the picture below

Very simple, although it did take me a while... I recommend that you spend two minutes reading the instructions, something I didn't really do! Oops.  So layer on one coat and then hold the magnet on top.

Sorry couldn't get my camera to focus, but here after one layer it looks like any other nail varnish.  You need to be quick though, you can't paint all nails first and then hold the magnet.  You need to do one at the time for it to work.

Something different, worth a go.  Other colours are available.

Chinese New Year - Prep Continues

So the next thing I will be doing when my holiday starts is doing up the house for the new year.  Lots of spring cleaning....lots of housewife chores! Along with that I will be putting up some chinese decorations known as fai chun.  These can be cute decorations with a lot of new year sayings.  The sayings all have a different meaning and mean a lot to Chinese people.  This is what I had last year.....(spot the Hello Kittys!)

This one character means 'fortune'.  You can imagine this to be quite popular.

Much luck and much prosperity

The literal translation is 10,000 things to your will, in other words: - May your 10,000 wishes come true

Blue Monday....was it for you?

So today is Blue Monday, the day that is the most depressing day of the year.  Brilliant, we're only day 16th of the first month and its the most depressing.  On Wikipedia theres even a formula for this day! The formula includes debt, motivational levels and many more things.  So was it Blue Monday for you?

It started off with quite depressing, waking up with dark skies and temperatures at -2! Lovely!  However I chose to stop it there and make my day to be as far as depressing...well what was in my control anyway!

• Spoke to my mum, that always puts a smile on my face (until she starts telling me I'm fat!)  

• F1 channel is launching on Sky.  For those that are unaware, last year F1 was shown on BBC, all Live coverage, this year the rights have been sold to Sky and there were still talks to whether it will go to Virgin.  We have Virgin at home, and today they have announced that Virgin will have the channel!  Brilliant! I can watch Jenson Button Live!
• Managed to get a limited edition ClaireaBella bag!  Can't wait to get it in my hands!

• Watched Vampire Diaries ... Damon is lush!

I hope it wasn't Blue Monday for you.  If it feels like it, just think theres still 2 and a half hours to go and you can make the change and do something to make yourself happy

Hello Kitty Gifts!

With me approaching 30, its hard to believe that I'm still a Hello Kitty fanatic.  There must be over 100 items in the home that is Hello Kitty, actually make that double! Sin thinks I'm crazy, but hey, I'm a girl!

So my sister in law just got back from Hong Kong, where Hello Kitty is everywhere.  Even in convenience stores like 7 Eleven, you can save stamps and exchange for Hello Kitty goods! (it depends on what promotion they have).  Currently in 7 Eleven they are doing Hello Kitty Tokidoki! So sweet!

Normally in Hong Kong the guys go crazy for this stuff, 22 to collect in total and they would do their best to get all 22!  I can only imagine what I would be like if I lived in Hong Kong...a trip to 7 Eleven everyday!

Thank you chix_x
