Mini Nail Polish Haul

Hi everyone, I hope you're all having a fabulous week!

I ordered these nail polishes last week & they arrived today, my Mum rang me at lunch to tell me I had a package at home & I couldn't wait to see them!

Queue a mini nail polish haul...


Essie - Angora Cardie, China Glaze - Recycle, China Glaze - Seduce Me, Seche Vite - Top Coat


Essie - Angora Cardie

Anyone that has been reading my blog for a while will know I have owned this nail polish before, I LOVE it!!! It's the perfect dusky maroon shade. Click here for a NOTD I did on this polish previously.


China Glaze - Recycle

My name is Sarah & I am a grey nail polish addict. I have about 5 grey nail polishes, what is wrong with me?! What's one more between friends...


China Glaze - Seduce Me

This polish is alot redder in person, I would describe it as a raspberry shade. I can't wait to try it out!

Seche Vite - Top Coat

Last but by no means least I HAD to get another bottle of Seche Vite, It's simply the best top coat I have ever tried. It makes my polish last for days without chipping & makes them SUPER shiny. I recommend it 64836493393%

I hope you enjoyed this mini nail polish haul & on that note... I'm off to do my nails!

Graze Review & Try A Box For FREE!

Hi dolls, hope you're all ok!

I've been poorly today so I this called for a day on the sofa with chick flicks and lots of TLC!

I was going to post this much earlier but I got distracted watching Serendipity, how perfect is that film?!

Anyway... to the point of this post....


(You'll have to ignore the tatty box, I had to rip my address off!)

One of my new years resolutions was to eat healthy & cut the rubbish snacks out. When I saw this site I knew I had to give it a go.

You've probably all heard of Graze.com but incase you haven't they are a UK based company that deliver boxes of healthy snacks to your door. Each box contains 4 punnets each with a different healthy snack.

The difference between graze & buying the products yourself is you don't know what you are going to receive in each box. When you sign up you can select which snacks you think you'll love or hate & if you know you won't like something then you can bin it & you definitely will not receive it. You can bin items by type, for example if you are allergic to nuts then you can bin all snacks that contain nuts so you will never receive them. I like this idea, you get a little surprise everytime you receive a new box!


I received:

The Lost Army - Oriental Cracker Mix.
Lighted Toasted Pistachios.
Honey Bee Good - Honey Peanuts, Cashews & Pecans.
Very Cherry Raisins.

Everything is sealed when you receive it for freshness & they can be kept for a few weeks sealed so you don't have to eat them the day you receive your box.

Out of all 4 my favourite was the raisins, they are GORGEOUS! I want more!!! Honey Bee Good is yummy & pistachios were well... pistachios. I wasn't a fan of the cracker mix, I thought it was tasteless, but then I guess healthy doesn't always mean yummy!

Now for the service.

I ordered my box to arrive on Wednesday. I waited. & I waited. & It FINALLY arrived on Saturday. I was not impressed. On the website there is a help section, I informed them that my box did not arrive on time & they refunded me £3.49. I thought this was very generous considering I got the box for free in the first place! I don't know if this is a regular occurrence as this is my first box, but it might be something to bare in mind if you are relying on your snacks being delivered on an exact day.


Inside the box you receive 2 handy leaflets. One is a personalised nutrition guide & handy tip guide. I thought this was a nice touch!

All in all I'm impressed with Graze. For a reasonable price you can have fresh, healthy & yummy snacks delivered to your door. The only let down was the delivery, but they did refund me for a box I didn't even pay for, so my second box will also be free!

Now... for your free box!

All you have to do is sign up to graze.com, enter your details & select your favourite/least favourite snacks. When you're ready to order a box simply click order a box & enter the following code:

7HPXL9Y

This will give you your first box completely free with no obligation to purchase anymore. You have nothing to lose! :]

Leave me a comment if you decide to try Graze.com or if you've used it before what were your favourite snacks?

I Am Pleased To Introduce You To...

James Joshua Mills.

My gorgeous nephew.

Born 1/1/11 at 4:11pm weighing 4lb 10. What a cool birth date eh!


I know this isn't my normal type of post but he's become a huge part of my life & I wanted this blog to become more personal, I want people to learn about the girl behind the beauty and hair products.

He is a very poorly little guy. He was born 7 weeks early & was/is very tiny. He was born naturally and my amazing sister in law did it all without a single drug. Brave girl!

When he was an hour old they noticed his stomach sticks out alot more than it should do so they did some tests. It turned turned out he had a twisted bowel. He was rushed away from his mummy & family to a hospital in London where they were much better equipt to deal with the problem. He had an operation when he was a few hours old where they fixed the problem. Everything went great & he is recovering well.

We're unable to hold him at the moment but we can stroke him, when you tickle his tiny feet he wiggles!

I can't wait to hold him, cuddle him & spoil him rotten just like any aunty should!

I wasn't sure about posting this on here, I wasn't sure if it's something people would like to read but as I said, I want my readers to get to know the real me.

NOTD: OPI - Quarter of a Cent-Cherry


Hi Dolls!

This is the colour I had on my nails for NYE.



OPI - Quarter of a Cent-Cherry

It's a lovely dark shade of red, a dark pillarbox red. I had a mani in a salon as a treat so I can't comment on application but it lasted 3 days without chipping, not bad!

Hope you're all having a fab evening!
