Weekend Plans

And here is a couple more suggestions for this weekend.

1/ Pick up the InStyle March 2010 issue

 

There is a Best Beauty Buys magazine with it.

I haven’t had time to read it all yet but already have a couple of items to add to my wishlist as well as a few little tips to make more of myself. For example, they quote make-up artist Alex Box who says ‘When wearing a strong lip colour, powder the outside edge of your lips to lock in the colour and prevent bleeding’. I can’t wait to get lost in this one this weekend (when I’m not partying, of course!) There is also an offer for 20% off at ASOS until the end of February.

2/ Keep an eye on my blogroll in the sidebar this weekend. I have already added a link to Jessica Rose and Milly (Pearls and Poodles) and I hope to add some more over the weekend. I’m really in to blog surfing at the moment. I’m also hoping to do a post this week where you can all introduce yourselves and your blog in the comments ‘cos as I’ve said before it is hard to get your blog known out there and I’m sure that some of you are hiding some real gems.

3/ I have enjoyed so many posts this week and I think, I am going to start highlighting them on my blog. This one by Gemma is all about Style Inspiration ( http://gemsmaquillage.squarespace.com/blog/2010/2/1/my-style-inspiration.html ). She actually has a file crammed with piccies of style and icons who inspire her and in this post, she shares it with us. I have to create one of these files. I hope that I have time to this weekend. It will be so useful for my fashion challenge. If any of you have a style file or create one after sneaking a peek at Gemma’s then please leave us a link to it here. I’d love to see what you like and what inspires you all!

4/ Take a look at my Competition post and the lovely treats on offer for the winner and then starting doing what you need to, to enter. I can’t believe that the closing date is almost only a week away.

5/ And finally, don’t forget to party with Creative Moments http://www.your-creativemoments.co.uk/blog

Happy weekends, yay!

Party with Creative Moments!

Hey Lovelies

I don’t know if this is of interest to any of you but I’m just putting it out there in case, it is.

Some of my family run a craft store, Creative Moments which specialises in Papercraft and Jewellery Making. There is a shop in Yeovil, Somerset as well as an internet site and store ( http://www.your-creativemoments.co.uk). You can also follow their blog ( http://www.your-creativemoments.co.uk/blog/ ).

The reason that I am mentioning this now is because tomorrow, their new You Tube channel ( http://www.youtube.com/user/yourcreativemoments ) is launched and to celebrate there will be a HUGE blog party with plenty of tips and advice to make beautiful treasures and who knows, they might throw in a few special offers too!

So if you’ve ever wanted to make your own unique gorgeous jewellery pieces  or would love to create beautiful books/canvases to store all your photographs and memories or maybe, you just want to make a special Valentines card for that hottie in your life or maybe just like me, you’re in the mood to party then why not, check Creative Moments out this weekend?!

Let’s end this post with some beautiful handmade treasures.

 I hope that you’ve found something inspiring and didn’t mind, the shoutout to my family but I’m awfully proud of what they have achieved and all the beauties that they have created in less then two years. So if you want to party tomorrow then you know there is an invite here for you. The party is at http://www.your-creativemoments.co.uk/blog/

Would love to see you there!
