Stumbling across a gorgeous perfume..

So, I admit it, I have quite a few perfumes sitting on a shelf at my vanity desk (that my man so generously built me! Lucky girl!) and the other day, I added a new one to the collection...
Now some people stick to the one perfume and won't wear anything else but me - I like to change it up and choose my perfume by the mood I am in that day. For example, if I am in a girlie, pretty mood, I reach straight for Vera Wang Princess or DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom. 

We were in MYER the other day and headed over to the Chi Chi section ( I am a big fan of Chi Chi products and plan to do a post or two on some looks using their products.), and I noticed a perfume I had been lusting over for a long time - Miss Chi Chi. Oh my cupcakes, this perfume is gorgeous!
It reminds me of marshmallows, with a slight fruity hint to it.


And don't get me started on the packaging! How adorable is it?! It looks very boudoir doesn't it? And I just LOVE the cute little pump that comes with it! Very glamourous.

So, this is my new favourite perfume that I wanted to share with you all. Enjoy.

Alice Jeans Soda Pop Shop

So the other day, a friend of mine announced she had open a darling online shop full with amazing goodies and I just had to check it out! I've said it before and I'll say it again - I am a massive fan of anything cupcake related and I stumbled upon some ever so cute cupcake soaps in her store! 


Candy Pink Cup Cake Soap
Even the names of these soaps are cute!

AND I found ice cream soap!

It looks so good, I could eat it!

These products are handmade in small batches, using high quality vegetable
oils chosen for their specific properties and natural ability to create a fluffy lather.
These gorgeous proudcts are all natural and made the true old-fashioned way.

So if you are tired of looking for products that are safe 
for both you and your babies and having no luck, I suggest you check this store out.
And not only does the ever so darling Kesenya sell bath and beauty products,
but she also has children's clothing, books and games, and car hire all available on her site!
Also, she throws Alice Jean parties too! 

Here's the website, pop over and have a look!

and while you're there, check out her blog also

Pretty Scents.

Perfume shopping. Some people like it, some people don't. I personally enjoy it, unless the perfume gets up my nose and I'm left sneezing uncontrollably for the next hour haha.
So, I wanted to share with you a few (and then some) of my favourite scents!

Sarah Jessica Parker - Covet.
I have worn this perfume for a few years now and it's still one of my favourites! 


Katy Perry - Purr.
I had the little piece of cardboard I sprayed this perfume with 
in my wallet for weeks, everytime I opened it, Purr filled the air.


Avril Lavigne - Black Star.
Another perfume I have worn for years and still a winner.


Britney Spears - In Control.
I have recently stumbled upon this one, yes, I know it has
been out for a while now but I was a bit slow when it
came to discovering it haha. I highly enjoy the too cute bottle aswell,
and the perfume pump just screams old Hollywood glamour!


Britney Spears - Fantasy.
Notice a pattern? Haha. I am a fan of majority of 
her perfumes =) this one is one I wear constantly!

Ralph Lauren - Rocks.
Summer in a bottle! It reminds me of oranges.
So pretty!

Ralph Lauren - Hot.
My favourite Ralph Lauren scent, it has a little 
spice to it. Love it!



Vera Wang - Princess.
*delighted sigh* so pretty, so girlie.
I put this on and instantly feel perked up.

So there you have it - a few..ok more than a few haha of my favourite perfumes! What are your favourites?

We all know I'm a sucker for cupcakes.

If you all have been paying attention (or just know me personally), you would have realised by now that I have a little obsession with anything cupcake related...just a minor addiction =P 

When we went to Wintersun in June, I finally got my hands on a pair of too cute TUK Cupcake flats!
I have had my eyes on these babies for a while now and when I saw them in person at one of the stalls - I had to have them! 




TUK make some of THE comfiest shoes I have ever put my feet in! Haha. How often is it you find shoes that are cute AND comfy? In my case, not often! Haha.
Just had to share the cuteness of these shoes with you all =D

My favourite lavender scented body washes!

Anyone else love the calming affects of lavender? Lavender is one of my all time favourtie scents, gotta love the aromatherapy behind it, it's a stress reliever =) I want to share with you two of my favourite body washes - by Johnson's..


First is the Johnson's Bedtime Bath, it has been clinically proven to make baby's sleep better, I have been using this on my little girl for since she was born, it smells amazing and she loves that it foams up and makes bubbles. They also have a powder, lotion and massage oil in this range too, all part of the bedtime routine =) 




Next is the Johnson's Dreamy Skin body wash - heaven in a bottle for us Mummas! It is very similar to the Baby Bedtime Wash, I have used both on myself and my daughter and they are both amazing! They moisturise our skin, instead of drying them out like some other body washes. I reccomend you all to go out and get them both!
