    I Love Sales because of LoveSales* | QueenBeady

    Ever too scared to hit the ”buy now” or ”checkout” button on your mythical shopping cart on Zara? Or look at the price tag on a pair of boots from Topshop & just can’t bear to part with the cash? Yep, I know the feeling all too well. But, what if there was a way to keep an eye on those pesky sales where we can see 25%, 50% and even 75% sale discounts? That’s where LoveSales comes in. Once you have signed up to the website you can choose your favourite brands and websites, then LoveSales does all the work for you by notifying to you every time your chosen brands release a sale.

    If that didn’t get any better, you can even create your own wishlist (just in case the boyfriend/husband/’rents don’t have a clue what to get you for your next birthday!) simply add the LoveSales button to your web browser & every time you see something you love click the button and it will be added! If sharing from your mobile device you can also email it or copy & paste the url link to your wishlist too. To find out more on how to do this click here!

    As someone who adores styling & fashion I thought it was a great for me to have a go & create my own wishlist (in other words, drool over all the products I am lusting over…)

    With your wishlists in one place you can add products from any site and they are all neatly stored in a similar style to the adored Pinterest, your List shows you the current price of each item and also if the prices have dropped. Just perfect for the bank balance! As you can see I am aiming high with the desire for the YSL shoulder bag to willingly come down in price. Hey, a girl can dream right?

    Have you come across Love Sales? Or managed to blag a bargain from using this fabulous sale site? I’d love to hear from you!

    Spa Fit Toning Massage Oil C/O The Body Shop | Spa Fit Body Massager C/O The Body Shop

    Okay, okay. I’ll hold my hands up, I’m not the biggest advocate of beauty. You most likely didn’t click through to my blog & expect anything beauty related either. But when I was sent some Body Shop goodie I found it hard not to resist. And if there is one thing I know about it’s a pamper session. I’d psyched myself up for a big night, face mask on, moisturised, nails done. I was in total pamper heaven. A whole day to myself meant that I could just indulge in doing whatever the hell I liked. As most of you know I am on a bit of a ”get fit & healthy” campaign at the moment where I’m trying to really tone up. I’m doing pretty well. Most weeks I go to the gym twice a week and also I’m eating much healthier (bar the odd treat here and there!) I’m not going to lie though, I’m a sucker for a ”quick fix.” When The Body Shop sent a little package of massage oil (Mr C probably thought he was in for a good time this VDAY!) along with a toning massager I knew I wanted to give them a go. After applying a generous amount of massage oil to my skin I whirred the massager around my body. It is a great way to combat cellulite, some of which I desperately need to shift! After a vigorous few minutes on each section of my body my skin did turn red. Probably because I was a little too rough with it. Now, now I can hear what you are thinking, I’m going all ”50 shades” on you, but I can assure you my wobbly bits in the tiniest bathroom going does not scream glamour, nor sex appeal I will have you know. The moisturising massage oil contains 100% natural-origin citrus ingredients. It will leave skin looking smoother and more toned and me smelling like an Italian Fruit Farm. I could pretty much chomp on my own leg had I had the desire. Marks out of ten, I’d give it a great eight. Whilst it gave the effects I ideally wanted a little bit of pain does have to be endured! The two products from the Spa Fit range are available online and instore. Have you bought anything from The Body Shop lately? I’m a sucker for products that smell amazing!

    Jumper New Look  | Shirt Topshop | Kirsty Allsopps Bath Creamers Kit C/O HobbyCraft

    I like to pretend I’m Mary Berry or Peggy Porschen, but if you tasted what I had baked you wouldn’t believe me. So, until I get one of those super fancy Kenwood Mixer’s I won’t be baking for a while, is it too early to start a Christmas 2015 wishlist? Instead I thought I’d best focus my efforts on another hobby. With the blustery winds it has forced us to stay inside (unless we wanted to be blasted across the Atlantic at 50mph) so I turned my attention this rather cute set from the Kirsty Allsopp range at HobbyCraft. With this beautiful, rose-scented bath creamer kit I can create a number of little homemade gifts shaped like little cupcakes for the ones I love, so that’s exactly what I set to doing. It’s super simple & I used our microwave to create them. The fanstastic smells of rose, almond, shea and cocoa have left our house smelling divine. I hand delivered these to my Mum, Sister & Nana and they were all delighted. A lazy afternoon making these, was an afternoon well-spent to see their faces light up with an impromptu, handmade gift! Have you tried any of the kits from Kirsty Allsopp’s range, if so which ones?
