#TheBloggersSnailMail- Meet Janet from Someone Somewhere blog!

Hello My Lovelies

I first met the lovely organiser of the #TheBloggersSnailMail Gemma from http://lipstickandlashes.blogspot.co.uk two years ago at a blogger meet up. Since we've not had the chance to meet again other than when we bumped into each other on a plane coming home from Malta (It's a small world!) but we have kept up with each other's lives via our blogs, social media. I've been meaning to take part in her #BloggersSnailMail for a long time and so when she tweeted about the next round I went for it. Read on to see who was my #BloggerSnailMail buddy...!

I was paired up with Janet from a new version of her blog 'Someone Somewhere' a super lovely girl from Leicester; a part time English teacher, feminist and book lover. I loved that we both shared an interest in books and we discussed what we were currently reading. We also both enjoy a good holiday! Janet hates chocolate (say what!), mornings (I totally get that one) and high heels (who can actually walk in those??) 

I can't believe how fast the couple of weeks passed by and before long it was time to swap addresses so that we could send each other our chosen gifts and letter. After such a short amount of time Janet actually knew me really well and I was impressed with all the goodies she could get for our £5 limit!



Firstly I adore the card it now takes pride of place in my room, Janet then chose me a thriller book that I'm saving for when I'm laying on the beach next. She also knew my love of bags and gifted me a beautiful, colourful tote that has already been on a shopping trip with me. Finally Janet also knew that I love make up and chose to send me these bits from Clinque- I don't actually have any products from this brand so it's going to give me the opportunity to trial them out.

I've had such a fab time getting to know Janet, so make sure you go and check out her blog http://jbistheinitial.blogspot.co.uk/ and I urge you to take part in the next #TheBloggersSnailMail you never know who you might meet!

Have you taken part before? Let me know in the comments!

Till next time,

Spring Curvy Girl Outfit of the Day Number 14!

Hello My Lovelies

With Spring now here in full force and with a new outfit to share I thought a curvy girl outfit of the day was in order!

I absolutely love this outfit, I think that's because its so laid back and chilled! My NASA top came from Primark- a few months ago I had seen this in the men's department but when I went again last month they a ladies version so I grabbed it straight away as it was the last one available and only £6.00


My jeans are a hand me down from my sister as she bought them in a size to big but I think she got these from Peacocks. I then added my favourite jacket and one you would of seen before in fashion posts which I bought in Dorothy Perkins. My sunglasses are Ray ban and ones I've had for a couple years.

I love when Spring comes around and I can get my beautiful Mulberry bag out of storage. I try to use this bag as much as possible during the warm months, its such a great size and fits my everyday essentials in it.


My sandals were purchased in the Clarks sale last September and I've had them stored away for the good weather here in the U.K. I actually also took these to Las Vegas and they were so comfortable, I walked the strip in these sandals without any blisters, yippee!


What are your go to Spring outfits, make sure you share them with me in the comments!

Till next time,
                     Tori.

New In: Bed Head Fully Loaded!

Hello My Lovelies

I love it when there's a new release from Bed Head, their products are always amazing quality so when the new Fully Loaded shampoo and conditioner popped through my door I couldn't wait to try it out!

 
Do you lack a bit of oomph to your hair? Want to make it massive? Then the Fully Loaded products from Tigi available from today are the way to go!

The voluminising shampoo and jelly conditioner will revive limp hair with just one use. The products are made with the newest technologies, an active volume uploader that is released onto your hair to create a lift you can both feel and see.
I tried them both out on my lack lustre curly hair and it instantly revived my hair. What's great about this product is that the uploader technology also gives hair 'volume memory' so that the style created in the morning is remembered throughout the day. That means if your hair starts to drop due to heat or humidity all you need is to push it back up into the style you created to rebuild the shape! Both the shampoo and conditioner both had a lovely fruity scent perfect for the summer months and a small amount went a long way which always makes me very happy.  

Priced at £12.95 for the shampoo and £14.95 for the conditioner it makes a great treat for your hair this pay day!

Will you be picking up these great new products from Bed Head, let me know in the comments!


Till next time,
