LAST MINUTE XMAS SHOP!


JUST 5 SLEEPS TO GO...

LAST MINUTE GIFTS!

So by now if you're anything like me you might be beginning to panic at how quickly Christmas day
is approaching and how little time left there is to organise all the gifts!

Let me help you out with a few more gift ideas which I think would make perfect last minute gifts if 
you need something for someone like a work colleague, family member, friend or if you're just after 
a few extra things to fill all those stockings!

Make Haircare Gift Packs!

These come not only in the 'Blonde' variation above, you can also pick up the Make Voluminous Gift
Set, Vibrant Gift Set, Hydrated Gift Set and Soft Gift set. Take your pick, they are all trio packs great
for the hair obsessed! Each retail for $39.95 apart from the 'Soft Gift Set' which is $42.95
Available from Chemist Warehouse both in store and online.

SHOP! - Make Haircare Gift Sets!


Trilogy Bare Faced Beauty Gift Bag!

Handy for this time of the year when so many of us are going away on long or short trips interstate or
overseas. Contains a 20ml Hydrating Mist Toner for those long haul flights, a 5ml Rosehip Oil
Antioxidant+ dropper bottle for whenever you feel the need when you're on your relaxing break. 
There is also a mini 10ml Make-Up Be Gone Cleansing Balm which is great for removing all that
makeup from all those festive celebrations, get togethers and parties!

Valued at $26.95 you can pick this one up for just $24.95
SHOP! - Trilogy Products!

Summer Salt Body Products!

I must not be the only person to have noticed, particularly over the past year or so how many up and
coming Australian, natural, cruelty free and vegan beauty brands have emerged and are quickly
becoming the preferred products amongst not only the beauty communities online, but also just your
every day person too and for good reason!

Although I'll try and use pretty much anything beauty related, I can't ignore it when great brands like
this come my way and I feel much better about myself when I use them. 

Summer Salt Scrub in Coconut - $16.00
Nourishing White Clay Masque - $20.00 (Comes with applicator brush & spoon pictured)

Vani-T Summer Tanning Products!

Yet another Australian, cruelty free and eco friendly brand is the glamours Vani-T who are all about
that natural looking chocolate fake bake! All of their products are presented in their signature hot
pink and diamond colours with their vegan makeup brushes and mineral makeup products housed 
with stunning crystals inside the packaging! You can read up my full review on Vani-T here!

SHOP! - Brazilian Bronze Self Tan Mousse - $39.95
SHOP! - Bronzing Mitt Self Tan Applicator - $11.95

e.l.f Cosmetic Gift Sets!

These are great because 1 - They are boxed and easy to wrap. 2 - They are under $20 each and 
3 - They come in a great variety of combos! 

Going along with my un-intentional theme here of Aussie brands, this is yet another! So why not
go ahead and support your fellow Aussie! Most e.l.f cosmetics are vegan and as a company they do
not test on animals, which I am so happy about and more than happy to support such a brand!

You can find e.l.f cosmetics at most K-Mart stores and selected pharmacies Australia wide. To check
to see if there is a store that stocks e.l.f near you be sure to check their website!

SHOP! - e.l.f Cosmetics Christmas Gift Sets - $15.00 each!


Mermaid Julisa & Gold Leaf Artisan Chocolates!

Ok, now you better pay attention if you want to take advantage of this delicious deal because it ends
TODAY at 11:59pm AEST!

Get yourself a FREE Vegan Pyramid Twin Box from Gold Leaf Artisan Chocolates (pictured below)
 when you purchase any gift set of Mermaid Julisa 5 free nail polishes! Who wouldn't love nail polish AND chocolate with each garnished with 24k gold I might add!! So glamorous, not to mention 
delicious!

MICHAEL HILL


MICHAEL HILL

JEWELLERY

Gift Guide & Product Review!


Who doesn't just love and adore a little bit of bling? Even when it comes down to just your every day
outfit to then dressing it up for glam night out. For me at least a little bit of sparkle goes a long way to
complete and perfect an outfit.

I have always been a silver girl at heart. Growing up a lot of my friends and family seemed to be all
about the gold, however the few pieces I did own and treasure were all silver. Over the years I have
been more adventurous and tried all kinds of colours, textures, stones and materials when it came to
my jewellery fashion choices. At the end of the day I always go back to the simplistic style and subtle
elegance of classic pieces and silver metals and sparkly clear stones.



Stud Earrings w/Cubic Zirconia in Sterling Silver - $239.00
I have three holes pierced in each ear. I was actually inspired way back in the late 90's by Britney
Spears stunning array of stunning silver jewels cascading up her earlobe from her 'Sometimes' music
video clip. I think she may have had about eight or so and she looked so beautiful and innocent. I
love that kind of girl next door, timeless class which is why I was so drawn to these gorgeous
beauties of cubic zirconia claw set in sterling silver.

Surrounded by sixteen smaller stones these large gems are uniquely designed with such a pretty
swirly pattern circling around the outer side giving them a subtle femininity about them which I
really love. 

Pendant w/Cubic Zirconia in Sterling Silver - $139.00
This gorgeous piece is my complete style all over. The super fine silver chain is light and fuss free
leaving all of the attention to the beautiful sterling silver pendant with one main cubic zirconia
in the centre surrounded by a further twenty four smaller ones around the edge.

I love how simple and classy this necklace is that I can wear with just about any outfit without
having to think about weather it is going to match, because it suits all colours and styles. Everyday and night occasions.

The great thing about this piece is you don't have to worry about it fitting you as Michael Hill let's
you between lengths of 40cm, 45cm, 50cm, 55cm or 60cm.

With Christmas looming and being just thirteen sleeps away this is sure to make the perfect gift!

So be sure to check out Michael Hill's amazing jewellery and specials this Christmas season!
They currently have 50% off selected gifts and hundreds available for under $100!
You can shop them both in store & online at http://www.michaelhill.com.au

What kind of jewellery do you like to wear?
What to you think of these pieces?

GIFTS FOR HER BUDGET


CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE

Gifts For Her On A Budget!
Philosophy Snow Angel Body Wash
This pretty pearly divine scented treat will enthral your sense of smell as you shower. The formula is
absolutely stunning and lathers up into a soft pearl of bubbles. You simply cannot go wrong here.
Everyone needs and uses body wash, so why not help to replenish their stash with a special xmas
limited edition bottle?

 Dessata Detangling Hair Brush
I have tried quite a few detangling hair brushes over the past few years and this one is my current
favourite I use all the time on both my own hair and my kids too! They come in a bunch of colourful
shades and designs so there is something these sure to suit whoever you are thinking of buying for.
(Review!)

Sally Hansen has about a billion different shades to choose from, however theses are just some of
my current favourites. The gel formula has come a long way as with these there is no need for an
expensive, time consuming LED light which in the long term is more damaging to the nail and harder
to remove. These do not chip easily and are pigmented in colour. (Review!)

This array of eight shades which has just recently been released is so pretty and in my opinion is a
slight mini version of the Naked Smoked eyeshadow palette. With all but one shade with shimmer
 this is sure to get your into the festive spirit in no time! Great colours for a sultry night out. For the
bold and brave!

This multi makeup palette is perfect for both professionals and beginners alike. When it comes to
building up a makeup collection this is a great place to start! With a million different colours and
shade options from eyeshadows, blush, contour and lipsticks, this rainbow of choice is a complete
bargain!

Bellabox Subscription
For the person who has everything, is difficult to buy for and you know they are a beauty addict then
a subscription service is a pretty good choice and a fun surprise if they're not expecting it and it just
shows up in the mail the month after Christmas! I have received a few Bellabox's over the years and
would recommend them as they are only $17.95 per month. They also have Bellobox for
men or Bellababy for new mums! Pretty great idea and who doesn't love beauty mail? I know I do!
(Review!)(Review!)(Review!)

Remington Rose Gold Hair Pack!
Rose gold everything is what's hot right now. This seems to be lusted after no matter the age group.
From teens, young adults and mature ladies, this gorgeous royal pack is sure to impress and give
stunning long lasting results which is the most important at the end of the day.
Also available is the straightener gift set.  (Review!)

Have you started Christmas shopping?
Do you have a budget for presents this year?

MOTHERS DAY GIFT GUIDE


~  MOTHER'S DAY  ~

GIFT GUIDE

2015!


1.) Estee Lauder Gift Bag!
I recommend picking up her favourite perfume and if it happens to be one by Estee Lauder you can
pick up this special Mother's Day gift bag for just $75 with any fragrance purchase! Contents of the
bag equal more than $160!

2.) Forever New Leopard Print Scarf!
With the weather becoming increasinly chilly of late, why not pick her up a fashionable scarf like
this one. I hear animal print is still popular with the grown ups! ;)

3.) Let's Kiss & Make-Up Cosmetic Bag!
There are endless different designs of make-up bags you can pick up just about anywhere really
cheap. If you know your mum well or even if you don't take a quick peek into her stash and pick up
a few of her regulars as back ups for her and pop them into a brand new stylish make-up bag for her!

4.) Peter Alexander Dressing Gown!
It's always nice to invest in a new dressing gown every few years. Show mum how much you
appreciate her by getting her a glam one like this from Peter Alexander which is also super comfy
and handy with the large pockets for phones and midnight snacks! ;)

5.) Peter Alexander Fancy Bow Couture Slippers!
 Cute slippers are a must have to wear around the house and Peter Alexander have a super adorable
range to choose from. Make her feel a bit spesh by picking up a glam pair like these with embelished
bows!

6.) Hudson Park Bed Sheets!
There is nothing like new clean fresh sheets on the bed, am I right ladies?! How many years has
your mum been sleeping on the same set of worn out sheets? Do her a favour and make her bed with
a new set if you can sneak in to do it without her knowing. Then wait for her to thank you the next
day after she's discovered and slept in them the night before!

7.) Moeve Bath Towels!
I find bath towels ware out quickly. Refresh you mum's linen cuboard with some fresh new good
quality bath towel sets and throw away the old ones. I bet she'll be delighted when she opens up the
linen doors to find brand new, neatly folded, new fresh towels all neatly folden and laid out ready for
her to use! Surprise! :)

8.) Royal Albert Friendship Tea Caddy!
 How fancy is this feminine tea storage pot from Royal Albert? Treat mum to one of these and fill
it with her favourite tea bags or coffee pods. If she's not into either of those, her fav candy is a sure
winner!

9.) D.L & Co Soy Candle in Glass Vessel!
Candles are always a nice treat! Spash out one a fancy one for her which matches in with her
style and decor. Just make sure it's in a scent she loves and won't tire of!

10.) Royal Albert Friendship Tea Cup & Saucer!
Almost all mum's like to either unwind with a nice hot cup of tea or coffee. Treat her to one of
these ulta precious Royal Albert sets to make her feel like a queen.

11.) Mes Homewares Mother Of Pearl Photo Frame!
Like with the fancy candle, if you're going to get her a photo frame with a happy snap of you
both inside. Make sure to match if to her taste, colour scheme and decor. She is sure to love it!

12.) Kaz Horizon Blue Cushion!
You can never have too many cushions! Add a couple to her couch or bed to her taste. Textures
and different shapes are fun for the bed and fun colours are an affordable fun way to dress up a tired
or outdated couch!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

VALENTINES DAY GIFTS FOR HER



~ VALENTINE'S DAY ~

GIFT GUIDE

   FOR HER!   


I think women seem to quite unfairly have the reputation as being complicated beings.
However I have to disagree. Not just because I am in fact a woman and understand us completely!
But because I feel like men are simple beings and just need a little shall we say 'help?' in the
area of gift giving!

Let me break it down for you guys!

We love to shop. 
We want things we don't need.
 AND we want compliments. - Lots of them, all the time. 
Even if you've already told us once. Tell us everyday. 
Doesn't have to be anything crazy. Just 'Your hair looks so pretty today babe!'
Or 'You smell amazing, what are you wearing?' 
(Even if you don't care what kind of perfume we have on, ask us anyway and pretend to
listen, we love talking about that stuff!)
Just do it! Ok? Ok!
 (This is an simple, easy way to get in and stay in our good books!)
:)

Below I share with you some gifts I am almost positive she will love!
Good luck, mate!

Starting from the first square, top left and working through...

'It's Written In The Stars' Mini Gold Notebook
Notebooks come in handy in hundreds of ways.
Writing something as simple as 'Love You' inside would be just....'Awwww!'

Kate Spade Holly Drive Compact 'Darling' Mirror
Call us 'Darling' it's endearing and sweet.
We also love mirrors for touch ups on the go. 

NY Posy Court Turquoise Vase
The quote on this vase says 'A Smile If The Prettiest Thing You Can Wear'
which is very romantic coming from someone we love. Fill it with our favourite blooms
for extra points!

Heart Jewellery Box
Anything with hearts is romantic and shows us you love us.
If you hide extra little surprises inside the box, well done!

Miniphant Money Box
Aside from the cuteness of this money box.
You could always pop some cash of gift cards to your woman's favourite
stores inside! (We love to shop remember!) ;)

Swann Imports Abstract Black & White Book Box (Set Of 2)
Everybody has secrets, especially women. We need a place to hide them and
these also look great as decor. Feel free to put chocolates or candy inside before
you give these to us though!

Gold Linen Match Box Sleeve
We usually love to have romantic candles lit, especially on Valentine's Day/Night!
So gifting us some pretty candles or just having them lit around the house for when we
come home or in the bathroom around the bubble bath you've just prepared for us, then
having this pretty matchbox makes everytime we light a candle just all that more elegant.
We like pretty things, even if they are just simple things like a box of matches!

London Cascading Floral Sweetheart Dress
If you know your woman well enough to know her size and what dresses or clothing items are on
her wish list, then buying for us to wear on Valentine's Day is gold!
You may get subtle hints which we know you guys are usually oblivious to, so pay attention!!

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush
If your girl is into makeup and doesn't own one of these yet, chances are she wants one!
Don't ask questions, you will never understand. We just neeeed it, ok? It makes us happy!

Heart Print Socks
These are a cute gift, but only if they're super cute socks! Like these ones with hearts
are themed with the day so she should be pretty happy with these. Just make sure this
is not the only gift you give to her!

Heart Photo Frame
Try to pick up a frame that goes with your woman's taste. If she likes pink, get pink.
Have a look around her appartment or just ask her her favourite colour.
Pick out a happy snap of you both and put it in the frame. It's a thoughtful gift that shows
a bit of effort.

Rose Gold Tone Large Stone Stretch Bracelet
Personally, at the moment I am all into Rose Gold things. However, make sure you suss
out your womans preferred jewellery colour first. It might be gold or silver!
See what she wears most and go with that!

Wrapped In Love Diamond Ring
If it's got diamonds in it, we will love it. Diamonds are a girls best friend after all!
Just don't buy us cheap, fake jewellery. We can do that ourselves.
We want the real deal from you so that we can keep it forever!

Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream Perfume
This has been a very popular perfume among women this past year, so this could be a winner!
Contains notes of Jasmine, Lychee, Pear, Grapefruite, White Woods & Musk to name a few!
It is gorgeous! If anything she should at least love the pretty bottle, that's half the reason we
buy perfume! Truth!

GHD Rose Gold Limited Edition Straightener
If she straightens her hair regularly and it's not a GHD, I recommend splurging on one
for her. If we don't own one, we all want one and they are available in a range of different
colours including turquoise and purple so go with a colour that she loves!

Clinique Party Lips & Nails
Lipsticks and nail polish are no brainers for most women.
Clinique is a lovely brand that make top quality products. She is sure to love
some pretty new shades to play with and appreciate you going into the women's department
to purchase them! Or if that sounds too much, you can always purchase online!
So there you go fellas! I hope this helps you!
We're simple creatures really....flowers, chocolate, jewellery, compliments & little
things that show us you care.

VALENTINES DAY GIFTS FOR HIM



~ VALENTINE'S DAY ~

GIFT GUIDE

  FOR HIM!  
I am 99.9% sure the majority of my readers are female, so I figured it would make the most sense to
create a (hopefully) helpful gift guide for your man this Valentine's Day!

Here is a little run down on the items I have picked out below which I believe would make perfect
gifts! I will begin by stating the obvious. Men are more creatures of need rather than want unlike
us females, who want (ahem I mean neeeed) everything!

So on with the list!
(From left to right! Clickable product images at the end of this post!)

Claytan Secret Kisses Cup (Set of 6)
If the special guy in your life is anything like mine and loves his coffee, then he will surely
appreciate these manly looking mugs. I just love how they're so cleverly called 'Secret Kisses'
with the red hidden inside.
Heeello? Adorable! (I mean manly! They're totally MANLY!!)

Roselli Black Resin Canister Set
Chances are if you're not already living with your man or he lives alone he probably doesn't
have his toiletries neatly organized in the bathroom as us woman have down to a fine art.
I love the look of this classy black set. The pieces in the set can also be purchased individually.

  Holeproof Men's Socks
 I don't really think if matters what gender you happen to be. Socks always go missing!
We are forever wearing odd socks in our house and toes pocking through holes happen
daily! Picking up a pair of holeproof socks is a no brainer!

Jerry Garcia Scales Tie
If you man has confidence and often wears a tie, then this is perfect to get him into the
Valentine's Day spirit! He would look very stylish and this would look amazing paired
with either a plain black or white business shirt.

Saint Laurent Heart Print Shirt
If your budget has no limitations, then I highly recommend this super romantic, handsome shirt.
I could see my hubby in this! Perfect for Valentine's Day dinner or date night out.

Sant And Able Clives Eye Men's Sleep Shorts
Slik boxers went out about 10 years ago! Upgrate your men's sleepy time attire with this
sexy Aussie label. 100% Cotton, so they'd be comfortable to sleep in and excellent quality at
a bargain price!

Tommy Hilfiger Freedom Fragrance
I was fortunate to recieve this in my Blogstar award prize pack so passed it onto my very
lucky husband. He seems to like it and I love the brand and the scent too!

Tweezerman Essential Grooming Kit
Hands up if you're sick of your tweezers/nail scissors/nail file mysterious disappearing only
to find it in some random place later because your man has 'borrowed' it!
Yep, time to get him his own to do gross things with!

Baxter Of California Chrome Plated Safety Razor
Almost all men shave or groom their facial hair in some way so how about a nice razor?
Comes in a stylish black gift box with extra blades. 

Knomo Lincoln 13
Man bags are still cool right? At least I think they are! I love seeing men with 'man bags!'
I think it shows style, organization and class. This one is great as a laptop bag alternative too.

Diagonal Line Cuff Links
Every now and again my man will put some cuff links on for work. They just add that put 
together 'I make an effort' finishing touch. I think they make a man look more
desirable with a bit of an edge as well.

Euro Floral Trim Slim Fit Shirt
Team this shirt with some dressy denim jeans, for a more casual look for your night out on
Valentine's Day, I think this would suit any man!

Nike Solarsoft Li Thongs
Every Aussie needs a pair or two of thongs. It's Summer and it's HOT!
This stylish pair can be easily slipped on in a second! Fuss free shoes are a mans best friend.

Smythson Panama Cross-Grain Leather Notebook
Help to keep your man organized with in life and/or work with this gorgeous leather
notebook! Now he has no excuses not remembering important dates or events because
he can write it all down in here. ;)

Won Hundred Pocket T-Shirt
Nothing screams sexy, Aussie bloke to me more than a guy in a plain white tee!
Am I weird? There is just something about a man in white. It just looks clean and fresh
and well, inviting to put it honestly and bluntly! haha!

Baxter Of California Full Size 4 Piece Shower Set
Not many men I know love shopping let along shopping for beauty products!
They're an everyday essential, but it all seems just a bit too feminine to pop into
somewhere like Priceline where there is makeup at every turn! Why not save him
the nightmare and pick up some kind of gift set like this which has everything he needs
so he can spend more time doing the things he loves. (Like spending time with you!) ;)



What are your plans this Valentine's Day?
Are you hoping to be treated to anything special?
