October Week 4 - Scentsy & Scrapping

Well here we are, the last full week of October and a slightly busier one for me.

I had an appointment with the Nurse at my doctors surgery to discuss the results of some recent blood tests. There was nothing to worry about though, she just wanted to talk to me about my cholesterol level which is/was slightly higher than it should be. However when she checked and saw what it was a year or so ago she was more than happy (especially when I told her that it was probably just up a bit due to our recent holiday). I have to go back and have it checked again in 3 months time, I am hoping that by then it will be at an acceptable level.

My huge Scentsy order arrived this week and I spent several hours sorting it all out and packing it up. Its all been handed out now and so far I have had nothing but positive feedback from my customers, I have had so many messages from them telling me how amazing their homes smell. I have to say I absolutely love my warmers and waxes, as soon as I get home from work I get them switched on so my home smells beautifully fragrant. My favourite warmer is Black Crush, its one of my newest ones and it looks stunning both when its switched off and on. The new season scents are now available so I am busy trying them out - my faves so far are Crisp Orchard Air and Eskimo Kiss. If you are looking for an alternative and safer than candles way to scent your home then please check out Scentsy. I have a FB page called Glowing Star where you can see a selection of the products and learn more about the range.

I took a days leave on Friday so that Tom and I could go out and start the Christmas shopping. We went to Bromley and although we didn't get a huge amount we did manage to get a few bits. I have a notebook full of lists and we know what most people want so hopefully it wont take us too long to get it finished. By the time we got home we were both shattered so we had a naughty but nice dinner of fish and chips. The perfect end to the day.

On Saturday Tom was back to working overtime so I went to meet a friend for coffee, cake and shopping. It was the first time that Nathalie and I had met up, up until now we had just chatted online via DM on Twitter and Instagram. We spent a lovely few hours wandering around the stationary shops and beauty halls in Kingston and despite our best plans on not to spend any money we both ended up making a few purchases. I got a new Liz Earle Superbalm, I used to love the LE range but I haven't used it for a while, however after a long browse of their John Lewis counter I think a few products may be making their way onto my Christmas list. I also got a few bits from a fab new stationary shop called Typo. There is one in Stratford Westfield and one due to open soon in Bluewater so I can see this becoming somewhere I visit often, especially as they have Disney themed products.

Sunday was a lazy day at home. I just pottered about and did a few chores as well as finally spending some time being creative at my new desk. I managed a few more layouts for our holiday album - I am now almost done with the Disney portion of the holiday so its onto Vegas next!!
