29

It was my 29^th Birthday on Friday, I had a lovely day and got some gorgeous presents I am feeling very spoilt and lucky.

His Lordship got me a kindle and I love it (I suspect he got the hump with me constantly borrowing his). I am reading Jane Eyre at the moment and (though I feel a little stupid for admitting it) I am finding the dictionary so helpful.

My sister got me some L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil, I will do a review after I have used it a few more times but it smells divine and left my skin feeling so soft.

So with one year to go until I hit the big 3 0 I have decided I need to find my style. I love dresses and I have a few but I don't wear them as often as I should. I manly stick to jeans and a jersey top during the week as it is easy to just throw them on but I always feel like such a frump. I think the best way for me to make more effort with my clothes is to plan what I am going to wear the night before that way I don't have to think any more than necessary in the mornings. I'll see how it goes though.

Autumn Nails

My favourite nail varnish at the moment is Sally Hanson Complete Salon Manicure in Pat on the Black that his Lordship brought me back from a work trip to America.

Sally Hansen introduces Complete Salon Manicure, an extraordinary new nail enamel that delivers a complete salon manicure in every bottle. 5 Steps in 1 Bottle: Base Coat, Strengthener, Growth Treatment, Colour and Top Coat. 

I use 3 thin coats and it is a dark purple berry creme colour perfect for Autumn and very chic.

The best thing about this polish for me is that it lasts a good 3 days with no chipping which is a miracle for my nails, normally I am lucky to get a day with no chips no matter what polish I use. I also love the wide brush I am hopeless at painting my nails I get it everywhere and clean up after so at least I can get the polish on quickly and evenly before I clean up the cuticles when I am finished.
