A Beautiful Giveaway!!

If you know me, or if you've ever seen any of my "social networking" sites, then you'd already know how much I LOVE Helen Dowsley, Ethically Sourced Lashes. For those of you who didn't know, then let me introduce you...................Helen Dowsley Lashes

You may recognise these lashes...they appear regularly on The Voice (Australia), X Factor (Australia), Farmer Wants a Wife, Home & Away, Sunrise, Today Show, Logies (Australia), ARIAS (Australia) and on countless shoots for models and celebrities.

 For years I haven't been a huge fan of false lashes, and that's not because I never liked the look, but I found it hard to get consistent, good quality lashes for all my makeup needs. I have tons of cheap and nasty lashes, but they look...well, cheap and nasty and are a pain in the behind to apply. But these lashes, created by Helen (who clients include Rihanna, Kylie Minogue, Lilly Allen & Lady Sarah Ferguson...to name a few) apply like a dream and look so beautiful on everyone I've applied them to. My favourites are the "In Love" lashes that I use by the carton!!! They don't lift, they sit where I want them to sit and the range of styles to choose from is vast...a little bird told me there are some new lashes coming to the designer range in the not too distant future. Watch this space for updates!

Bedroom Reveal

It's been a little while since I've blogged, but I'm back today to share this small montage I put together of our bedroom/bathroom reveal. The house is an ever evolving thing, so I'm sure it won't always be like this and there a several small things that need to be done. After 2 long years, we are over the moon with the results. Here's the video....
 

Let me know if you'd like to see videos of the other rooms as they are "finished".

A special thanks to Allegra Rhodes for sending me the divine bath and body products to try. They look so beautiful in the bathroom and smell even more incredible...like a fine French Fragrance. Here's a link to their website if you'd like to spoil yourself, or someone special. http://www.allegrarhodes.com.au/

Till next time.
