Lots to do at work this week as I decided it was time to give the office a good tidy up and have a bit of a clear up of all the clutter that is just laying about. I work with an all male team and as lovely as they are its sometimes like working with load of teenage boys - they make so much mess! I have sent out an email asking them to go through all the stuff that they have laying about so that it can either be binned or put/filed away. As I plan to give the office a really good clean before Christmas they had better get their acts together and sort their things out - if they don't it will all go into boxes and be stuck in the archive cupboard until they realize its missing. Its time for me to stop being so nice to them, they all need to learn its their responsibility to help keep the office clean and tidy too.
I got some new makeup this week from my favourite American beauty brand Tarte. Now you cant actually buy their products in any stores over here but you can get some of them online from
QVC UK. I have been wanting to try the Rainforest of the Sea foundation for ages so when it popped up as a set with a dual ended blending brush and as an easy pay buy there was no way I was not making the purchase. Its now arrived and I am really looking forward to trying it out, as with all Tarte products the packaging is gorgeous and the brush is super soft. The foundation is a lightweight water based formula so its really hydrating on the skin but it manages to give you gorgeous full coverage without that heavy cakey look. Tarte products are suitable for everyone too as they are all dermatologically tested as well as being cruelty free and vegan friendly. If you are in the market for some new make up I really do recommend Tarte.
Saturday saw Tom back at work on overtime so I headed to Stratford Westfield to do a little more Christmas shopping. As my main destination was Primark I made sure I got there early enough to beat the crowds, sure enough the store was nice and quiet when I arrived so I was able to whizz around and get all the things I wanted. On the way home I couldn't resist going into the Disney store, its now less than one year till we go to Florida so I need to keep getting my fixes of all things Mickey and Minnie (I was very good and didn't buy anything!!). Talking of all things Disney have you see the fab new collection from
Cath Kidston? There are some seriously lovey things available this time round and I am hoping that I might a few of them will find under the Christmas tree this year. The rest of the day was just spent pottering about at home, I made a lasagne for our dinner and then when Tom got home we just spent the evening chatting and watching tv.
Tom worked again on Sunday so I just spent the day at home. I had a little time in my craft room and I managed one layout which is pictured below, the image of Tom was taken in the Disney California Adventure Park. I have used a mix of papers but they are mostly from one of my Lottie Loves Paper kits. This page was a little of a push for me as its not a combination of colours I would normally use but I think it looks ok. Just need to add some journaling and a title (maybe) and then it will be ready to go in the album.
I also played with a couple of MDF stars that I got at Ally Pally and turned them into Christmas hanging decorations. I used some old papers from my stash which I coated with glitter mod podge before adding the tree and reindeer that I highlighted with some ice effects paste. I am quite happy with how they have tuned out, just need to find somewhere for them to go.
So here we are, its now Sunday evening and I am waiting for Tom to come home from work so we can have some dinner and sit and watch the Strictly Results show and Blue Planet 2. I hope that you have all had a great weekend too.
Thanks for stopping by,
Jane xx
