Huishoudbeurs + Horus Egyptian Bronzing Powder

Well it's been an extremely busy week so I haven't had much time to sit down and relax my mind enough to post much. But I thought I'd take a few minutes to share something that I picked up at the huishoudbeurs at the weekend.

A journey of the smartphone kind

I've had many mobile phones over the years and I can remember most, if not all of them. They've all had their own charms from the very first Nokia I owned to the numerous flip phones and then of course, the generation of the smartphone began.

Budget singles

I am a huge fan of drug store brands and I thought I'd round up a few of my favourite single eye shadows.

My new MUA eye palettes

Whilst out shopping for a present for my daughters birthday last week in Den Hague I popped into a rather large Kruidvat and was pleased to find that they stocked make up by MUA. You can't find this brand in many of the shops here so when I come across one that sells it, I can't help but leap at the chance at picking something up.

Workout Wednesday

Well I must admit it that I failed to complete the 28 day Zumba challenge. I got about half way through and then had to stop for all manner of excuses reasons... too busy, injured knee, lack of energy etc etc. So now I'm back to my normal routine of going to the gym three times a week and the odd zumba session (due to the still tender knee) but I am always on the lookout for other exercises that I can try out at home and of course Pinterest comes in very handy as usual.

Birthday card DIY

This year is all about DIY for me and the girls' birthday cards were no exception so I put on my creative thinking cap and wanted to design some cards that were pretty and a bit different from cards that I've made before.

Party weekend

At the weekend, we celebrated 3 birthdays in total. Both of my daughters' had their birthdays and parties, and my sister-in-law also. I have never eaten so much cake in the space of a few days in my life!

Pretty Party Lights DIY

This is a very busy week for me as both of my daughters' birthdays are this week... I know, great planning! This is also the first year that they are having separate parties as they are now both at school and have their own friends so instead of trying to cater for kids with a 4 year age gap, I decided to take the plunge and plan two parties.

Tech update - Samsung Galaxy Note 4

It is no secret to those who know me that I am a bit of a tech geek. I love tinkering with gadgets and gizmo's so it's no surprise that my new phone is the fancy (tablet-sized) Note 4 by Samsung.

Tea light spruce up DIY

Just a quick post today to share one of the great ideas that I've adopted from my hours of trawling through Pinterest. This simple craft is so easy and adds a little touch of fun to those boring silver tea light holders.

L'Oréal True Match Foundation

Keeping with the theme of shopping my stash, I thought it was time to talk about this foundation. I have been falling in and out of love with it for a couple of months and find myself reaching for it again at the moment. The one I have is in the shade R5-C5 Rose Sand and is quite a good match for my skin tone.
