Aaaaaaahhh adult colouring books. All of a sudden it’s cool to be colouring in these books. As a teacher and crafty person, I’ve always loved crayons, colouring and drawing. I’m actually quite pleased that more people are embracing their creativity. I was intrigued to try one out so I requested The Time Garden by Daria Song from Blogging For Books to review.

Last month I was invited to be involved in 30 Days Of Sewing With Art Gallery Fabrics – to say I was excited is an understatement! Throughout the month of September, they will be sharing beautiful projects that have been made with their beautiful range of fabrics.
I chose to make the Bonnell dress from DixieDIY: a gathered skirt dress with triangular cut outs on the bodice. I had a really hard time choosing fabrics because all the new collections are just gorgeous! The one that jumped out at me the most was the Anna Elise collection by Bari.J. The look book for this collection is just adorable! After narrowing it down to this collection, I chose the Wind Melody Carmin for the main fabric and the Rythmic Hatch Vivid for the dress lining – both cotton.

This book by Samantha Hayes and is my most recent pick from Blogging For Books. What You Left Behnd is a crime thriller book, which is one of my favourite genres. I have had the book for a while now and I must admit that it took me a good few chapters to get interested in the storyline. But, once I was hooked, I could not put it down and read the rest of the book quickly!

Before I buy ANYTHING, I always research extensively into what it is that I might be buying. Sometimes products exceed my expectations and sometimes they can leave me feeling a little disappointed. I’ve been trying out a few different mascaras, trying to work out what works the best for me. I wanted to share my opinions with the hope of helping my readers out with future mascara purchases!

I would class this as a slight impulse buy. I wanted to buy a higher end mascara to wear on my wedding day. I did a quick check on the internet to see what would be available in my local beauty store and this was on offer at the time. Before purchasing this, I had never bought anything other than drug store makeup!! Ever!! I did use Virgin Vie (Can anyone remember that?) for a while but that phase soon passed.
I love how this is applied – it doesn’t look ‘clumpy’ on the brush. It goes on easily and gives a good layer on the first application. It can be built up more if needed. The only thing that puts me off this mascara is that it is quite difficult to remove! Even with a lot of eye makeup remover! I have to leave soaked pads on my eyelids for quite a while…it’s probably why they sell an eye makeup remover as an accompanying product!
