MARCH GLOSSYBOX



How nice is it to get things in the post other than bills?
My friend first told me about GlossyBox, a service that you pay a 
monthly subscription to receive 5 beauty samples wrapped in a beautiful box straight to your door. The samples are a mystery so it's like a suprise gift to yourself.
Sign me up I thought and as my very first GlossyBox dropped in my letterbox I wasn't disappointed. 

The theme was City Chic and contained; 

Nails Inc nail varnish
Jelly Pong Pong Lip Blush
Tresemme Hairspray
Juicy Couture "Couture La La"
Elizabeth Arden Eight hour Cream

The lip blush and nail polish was red, perfect statement colours that I always add to brighten up my outfit and day. I was even glad of the Hairspray as I had just ran out and it was even my usual brand. Result!
To be honest I wasn't sure about the Couture La La perfume but it turned out to be a lovely light spring scent.
And last but not least I found some Elizabeth Arden in there too!

And that's not all, as well as the 5 products they included some stickers and a little Travel Book with facts and places to go in some main cities like London, New York and Stockholm. I was quite excited about this as I am heading to Copenhagen for Easter and although it wasn't mentioned it was nice to see some pics of Sweden to get me in the holiday mood.

Can't wait to see what's in the April Box!

MATTHEW BOURNE'S SLEEPING BEAUTY


One of my favourite Disney films is Sleeping Beauty so when CJ got me tickets for Valentines to see Matthew Bourne's ballet version of it I was excited and a little bit apprehensive, on the inside I was pleading for it to be good. It was set in the beautiful Kings theatre and I took a panoramic picture from my seat to let you see the gorgeous detail for yourself. 

I am constantly inspired by things I see and do and was still thinking about the story, costumes and music the next day.

Matthew Bourne's take on a classic saw him deciding to replace the main villain Maleficent with her son who was looking for revenge 
which definitely kept you interested, the 3 hours whizzed by! 

By using the same music that featured in the Disney version makes sure you remember key moments and although you're not allowed to take photos during the performance I featured some website images and a link to the YouTube trailer for you to have a look at.
Enjoy!
