Shabby Chic Summer Treats

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Give me a wooden dresser and I'll sand and distress it, give me a pretty glass plate and I'll fill it with candles, drop me off at a craft fair and I'm in heaven. I am a through and through shabby chic addict. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I adore 'prettying' things up and just taking ordinary objects and making them quaint. You might call it twee, but it floats my boat and lights my fire. Oh yeah.  </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif3a5q2_FNqEtSu83qAX9m9bQJV_HEcOtBG04Nnx1G3x5agYm73WDO70RLKHhXb6Zpzv6igOUXiKLqLSLQx053mftTtDpyuosEcpDxM1YDjM9xFtzucNzLOuXNrCJ10vsQobBk-M2qwv-f/s1600/summer+treats.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="454" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif3a5q2_FNqEtSu83qAX9m9bQJV_HEcOtBG04Nnx1G3x5agYm73WDO70RLKHhXb6Zpzv6igOUXiKLqLSLQx053mftTtDpyuosEcpDxM1YDjM9xFtzucNzLOuXNrCJ10vsQobBk-M2qwv-f/s640/summer+treats.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I thought I would share a cute little idea with you that I have been doing a lot lately. Also, it's free- what more could you want?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">On summer patio evenings, rather than drinking out of regular glasses, I have been saving little glass jars from jams and sauces, thoroughly washing them, adding cute straws (I bought mine <a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pastel-Striped-Paper-Drinking-Straws-stripe-stripey-stripy-stripes-/230821390374?pt=UK_Home_Garden_Celebrations_Occasions_ET&hash=item35be06e826" rel="nofollow" style="color: magenta;" target="_blank">HERE</a>), fruity cocktail sticks, ice and voila!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">It's not a big deal, but it's fun, free and makes us smile. These are also great if you have little ones coming over as they seem to think it very novel indeed to have a drink out of a jam jar. I'm totally with them on that one, haha.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Does this little idea tickle your pickle?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Toodlepip!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">xx</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This month my <i>Ultimate Advertiser</i> is <a href="http://confessionsofasecretshopper.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Confessions of a Secret Shopper</b></a>.

Amazing Advertisers :: August

<div style="text-align: center;"><br />Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This month has flown by hasn't it?! It's time for Amazing Advertisers again, which is your opportunity to get to know the lovely ladies that have been nestled in the left hand side bar this month.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">If you would like to advertise on Sprinkle of Glitter in August, look up to the tabs under my header, and 'Sponsor' has all my advertising packages within it.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Tumblr_m7vqkv8cdl1rqiiyfo1_500_large" class="full-size" height="451" src="http://data.whicdn.com/images/33639347/tumblr_m7vqkv8CDl1rqiiyfo1_500_large.jpg" width="640" /> </div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(Image :: Weheartit.com)</span><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.beautyquestblog.co.uk/index.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Beauty Quest Blog</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Be warned - this blog will make you want to shop. Big style. Shelley's blog is fresh, easy to navigate, well written, with great photographs and with well laid out posts. It is literally everything I look for in a blog and I love it. I just sat reading her Topshop Personal Shopper post and now want to book myself an appointment. She makes me want to do things. Ooer.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://confessionsofasecretshopper.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Confessions of a Secret Shopper </a><br /><br />Louise (oh hello name twin) has been my Ultimate Advertiser this month and so you may well have seen her link at the bottom of posts. Like me, Louise is a Mummy obsessed with all things beauty and girlie and her blog is a place for her to share this passion. If you like reviews, tags, giveaways and the odd blog sale here and there, you'll like this blog.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.briarrosebeauty.com/?utm_source=sprinkleofglitter&utm_medium=banner&utm_campaign=june2012" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Briar Rose Beauty</a><br /><br />Jess is one of those people that is kind through and through. Always there to offer a supportive tweet or encouraging words in an email, she is a gem. Not only is she an all round good egg, her blog is right up my alley. With beauty, fashion, funnies and mummy posts, there is always something interesting to see. Jess is also on Pinterest and has some of the best boards I've seen. Re-pin-tastic! Haha.<br /><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_153365070"><br /></a><br /><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_153365070"><br /></a><br /><a href="http://www.athriftymrs.com/" target="_blank">A Thrifty Mrs</a><br /><br />Mrs Thrifty is my chummy. She is the best of eggs and if you don't love her then you must have a heart of lead (feeling a bit stern there). Her posts are easy to read, informative and guess what?.....thrifty. If this lady doesn't save you some money somewhere, I'll eat my frugal charity shop hat (or borrow one of hers!). Not only is she a cracking gal with a great blog, she offers advertising slots like me, so if you were looking for a bit more exposure, give her a bell. Or just email her. It's not 1997 after all.<br />PS- Her post on penny pinching glitter polish excited me. Fact.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.prairiecharms.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Prairie Charms </a><br /><br />This little accessory shop is simply charming (ooohh see what I did there?). If you like whimsical little bracelets and quirky floral brooches, this may just be the place for you. The shop is clean, fresh and well laid out so if you are looking to treat yourself or have a friend's birthday coming up, check it out. Also, keep your eyes peeled for a giveaway from here very soon!<br /><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_153365077"><br /></a><br /><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_153365077"><br /></a><br /><a href="http://obsessedbudgetbeautyblogger.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Obsessive Compulsive Beauty</a><br /><br />Sarah is, like many of us, a style and beauty enthusiast. Her blog posts feature her favourite cosmetic finds as well as great fashion combos that I might never have thought of (pencil skirt with a leather jacket for example). I have really liked her latest posts on jeans and found her article explaining the differences in cuts very helpful. No more fitting room tears for me!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://thebeautyoflouise.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Beauty of Louise</a><br /><br />Before we even get onto content, I must just say, I LOVE the colour scheme of this blog! Louise's beauty posts are well written, clearly laid out, interesting and frankly, make me want to buy things- naughty lady! I have also noticed that Louise is now offering advertising slots (only 10 so fairly exclusive) to her fellow bloggers for only £4 per month- bargain!!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://mondaynightfashion.blogspot.ch/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Monday Night Fashion</a><br /><br />Ooooh this blog is the perfect blend of beauty, fashion, interiors and quaint places to visit. The pictures are large and clear, the writing succinct and there is all round just a lovely tone and feel to Monday Night Fashion. If you're after what I would call a 'relaxing' read, this is your blog. Also, I now what to pop round for dinner and try some of those deserts! Yum!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://musha-moi.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Musha-Moi</a><br /><br />Charlotte's blog is a little unlike your average beauty/fashion blog and as she will tell you herself in the 'About' section of her site, it is a great place for her to find the daily structure she craves whilst living with depression. Depression is a very real illness for a great many people and I think it is commendable that Charlotte has been so open and enlightening about her life. Also, she lives above a bakery and has a pet hedgehog- that sounds like my kinda location!  <br /><br /><br /><a href="http://wonderful--you.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Wonderful You</a><br /><br />Meg, is fast becoming my new favourite blogger. Not only is her blog a visual feast for the eyes, she has giveaways (there is one day left on hers so hurry hurry over), great reviews AND when my chummy Zoe was feeling very grim a couple of weeks ago, Meg did the most thoughtful and kindhearted thing for her. Anything that makes ZoeChummy smile in her time of blueness makes me smile so I think Meg deserves a great big pat on the back. :)<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.macgalore.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Macgalore </a><br /><br />If you like fashion, OOTD's, style and How To's, then you'll like this blog! If blogs aren't your thing but you still like those topics, panic ye not as there Miss MacGalore also has a YouTube channel linked so you can indulge in many a different technology fashion. I have really enjoyed the 'How To Wear Neon' post, as this is a trend I love but struggle to pull off without looking a little nutto! Yay for the Macgalore flavoured help!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.aspirationsofglam.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Aspirations of Glam</a><br /><br />Liz makes me want to buy things. She is an ultra enabler and my purse hates her for it! I however, bloomin' well love it. If a blog can get me hyped up about a product, then it's a goodun! I love her beauty posts and think her photographs are beautiful. I also rather enjoyed her backcombing photos and may have had a little chuckle at them- in a good way of course. Don't ask any more questions, just go and check her out please. Thank you!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://sashalouisepallari.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Live Love Laugh</a><br /><br />Sasha's blog is what I would call a Lifestyle blog. Hurrah!! I do love beauty and style posts, but there is something really soothing and intriguing about reading through other people's day to day business and opinions on topics we all experience. If, like me, you are a closet curtain twitcher, this blog will appeal to you. I also enjoy the fact that Sasha full on got in her shopping trolley in the middle of Morrisons. I shall say no more...<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://iamfabulicious.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">I Am Fabulicious</a><br /><br />I Am Fabulicious is a girlie girls haven. Filled with regular beauty posts, up to date industry developments and celeb gossip, this is a blog not to be missed. I really love that everything is clearly laid out (it's things like that that set apart the good from the great if you ask me) and that the images are large and crisp. A jolly good slice of the web indeed.  <br /><br /><br /><a href="http://howdoesitfeeltobe.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">How does it feel to...</a><br /><br />Love this blog? Great! (See what I did there?). This blog is like a pick and mixed of incredibly well written, through provoking pieces of writing. It isn't a beauty or style blog, but a little online feast for the mind. I urge you to go and click on one of the enticing squares and not want to read another. Go wild and give it a whirl.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://fragmentedsplendour.bigcartel.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Fragmented Splendour</a><br /><br />Ooohhh puuurddddyyyyy. That's the first thing I think when I look at this shop of gorgeousness. If you like delicate accessories with natural gems and stones and fossils, go and look right this minute. Prices are amazing for these pieces and I think they would make amazing gifts too. Also, I know who I'd rather support out of big corporations or independent businesses. How about you?<br /><br /><br />Ahhhhh, so there you have it, my lovely Amazing Advertisers of this month.<br /><br />Have you found any new favourites?<br /><br />Toodlepip!<br /><br />xx<br /><br />This month my <i>Ultimate Advertiser</i> is <a href="http://confessionsofasecretshopper.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Confessions of a Secret Shopper</b></a>.

Interactive! 7 Things for 7 Days || July

<div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">W.O.W! When I started this last month, just saying, 'hey, wanna join me in a bit of self motivation?', I thought a handful of keen beans who love lists as much as I do would. I was not expecting over a hundred of you to write your own blog posts!!! WOOAAAHHH!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">So firstly, Yay Us! Yay for our happy little community, where we offer support and warmth and goodness and together, achieve our targets. I think this goes to show that the internet is not only great for shopping, facebook and youtube, but a fantastic way to connect safely with like minded people and work together towards a common goal, which in this case, was little things to make us happy. I feel very uplifted by it all I must say. Oh, and for the lady who said she wanted to get a dozen penguins- you sound amazing! ;)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I'll start by sharing all the blog links to those who took part and then I'll tell you what I aim to achieve in the next 7 days. I always aim to do mine in 7 days, but only update once a month, otherwise this blog would become slightly listy and boring! haha!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5ZgJTY6BjmmZj74GQi-YOgm0lVV9fKOuKXcKZwcKhCyxjqoLSPoh_tuqmgH8Yx_Ns2pmon_m4cB4JHxFg_ck1qN_d7ojxlJ04uRpbIiyjhDj3_sygaTTGQb3igqFRpf-vL0fAj3xJcExN/s1600/seventhingsposter.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="554" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5ZgJTY6BjmmZj74GQi-YOgm0lVV9fKOuKXcKZwcKhCyxjqoLSPoh_tuqmgH8Yx_Ns2pmon_m4cB4JHxFg_ck1qN_d7ojxlJ04uRpbIiyjhDj3_sygaTTGQb3igqFRpf-vL0fAj3xJcExN/s640/seventhingsposter.png" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: center;">Who Took Part?</h3><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">NB: If you joined in but you didn't clearly say you have done so and leave a link on June's interactive post, then please don't be cross if your link is not here.

If you put 'I've joined in and here is my link' then that was clear as day and made me smile. Also, thank you if you additionally tweeted me  your link, I RT'd as many as I could.

<div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I spend a lot of time on my nails. Too long really.

How much do you enjoy the translucent red bottle? It reminds of the kind of makeup packaging they had in the 80's and this, for some reason, makes me smile. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">It's a fairly simple product. You apply it to freshly painted nails, it speedens the drying process, provides a protect shield against chipping and adds an extra layer of gloss. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I have been using the for a few weeks (I used to use a China Glaze top coat or go without) and I really have noticed a difference. My nail polish stays put a lot longer (like 2-3 days) and my manicures do look a lot more sheeny shiny, which is something I really love. I can't say my nail polish dries a great deal quicker, but I like to do my nails when the baby is in bed and I have a little 'me time', so I'm happy to sit still and be quiet for ten minutes- it's peaceful. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">For £5.99 this little guy won't break the bank and if you were looking for a new top coat or a product to make you nails look that little bit better, I would happily recommend it. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Not a very in depth review I know, bit let's face it, it's a shiny see-through thing you wipe on the end of your digits, not the hadron collider ;).</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Do you use a top coat or are you a paint 'n' go kind of a gal?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Toodlepip!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">xx</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This month my <i>Ultimate Advertiser</i> is <a href="http://confessionsofasecretshopper.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Confessions of a Secret Shopper</b></a>.

LOTD || Books #4

<div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Today's LOTD is slightly nerdy- books!

Lou's Reviews || YSL Shocking Mascara

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Whilst in town last week with Baby Glitter, I accidentally <i>fell</i> into House of Fraiser, <i>fell</i> into the YSL counter and then my credit card <i>fell</i> into the payment machine and a brand new mascara <i>fell</i> into my bag. Obviously, I am on a spending ban, so am absolutely not to blame for any of this. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Since I now have it (against my will of course), I thought I would review it. Oopsie. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: center;">YSL Mascara | Shocking | Deep Black </h2><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpt425_dgpI913B4XAuZl8UtORmySUUaMQAIYAg_4lJ4euFfuWEKQpPGq5Oi8RLhOcAL_lKL5avrf2CIECh5gzHavbuq43R5T205VvqgR4ivq3aLFqrHU6lNf2CuuO5MolTFw6_HN4Ntor/s1600/YSL1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="418" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpt425_dgpI913B4XAuZl8UtORmySUUaMQAIYAg_4lJ4euFfuWEKQpPGq5Oi8RLhOcAL_lKL5avrf2CIECh5gzHavbuq43R5T205VvqgR4ivq3aLFqrHU6lNf2CuuO5MolTFw6_HN4Ntor/s640/YSL1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">So here we have my accidental purchase. An accidental spend of £23.00 to be precise, but after trying this for a few days, I have no regrets at all. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm a sucker for the way things look and it's clear to see that the packaging for this product is luxurious- gold tube with embossed logo and sheeny shiny golden box to make it feel extra special. I know it's only card and plastic but I honestly feel a little bit excited when I pull this out of my makeup bag. It just looks special. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge6nFJLctUFY-qlh3k0uEp_pQEapBIPQM_13uh2C3bZ6Yo_cRnV4fdXxFR-EZRG328eQg-RKAqtNAbXRPYND4iyfvnxOk5jODA_u1UcKgri2MuCWZD9j90_51Ek3Iml1N6iAoHR4JR2u9Y/s1600/YSL+Close.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge6nFJLctUFY-qlh3k0uEp_pQEapBIPQM_13uh2C3bZ6Yo_cRnV4fdXxFR-EZRG328eQg-RKAqtNAbXRPYND4iyfvnxOk5jODA_u1UcKgri2MuCWZD9j90_51Ek3Iml1N6iAoHR4JR2u9Y/s640/YSL+Close.jpg" width="628" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The wand has short plastic bristles of varying lengths. I get on really well with plastic wands and am happy to spend a bit of extra time applying. This is definitely not a 'wizz through and go' kind of product, you have to give it due care and attention. A luxury product deserves luxury care.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB47XwAmPDvmg9Owm2Q-UWFHjk9y5v0nzS7jD4VcUzL84gNhHEzMmf_34XsJZ5V1kM-EA8cUK967dBQ7zPbbVi0mVeFY0d80gg8oDRUYZ1FWJtPUYcN_A9PUifhj5qnVziO6W-OtUXALb5/s640/YSL+Shocking.jpg" width="640" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>(Sadly I'm not a fresh faced 19 year old anymore so I have laughter lines and Mummyhood doesn't lend well to plenty of sleep so yes, there are little veins. I feel quite self conscious about this but figured the best way to give a full review of a mascara was on my peepers, so there we are, wrinkles and all!)</i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">After using this mascara, I was IMPRESSED. It really gave so much length to my lashes and made me feel very doll like. I would go as far as to say this product has made my lashes the longest they have ever been without the aid of falsies.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The mascara lasted all day AND all night without smudging, flaking or generally misbehaving. The only tiny problem I have with it was that it made my lashes feel a little crispy, but with that much lengthening and staying power, I can overlook that for sure!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I know £23 is a lot of money to pay when the high street offers a plethora of alternatives, but if you are looking to treat yourself, this is your answer.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Have you tried this mascara? Does it entice you?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Toodlepip!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">xx</div>

Love Your Library

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">It won't be news to you that I am a big fan of books. I'm not a literary genius that can recite reams and reams of Shakespeare, but I have read an awful lot of chicklit, home, style and craft books and enjoy sharing them with you.  </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The gripe I have with books is the price. I begrudge paying a lot of money for something that I will seldom read more than once and may not even like. The answer to this is Public Libraries. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6Qf0iyjH0LrE3kfHGaKO3O15qg9M5b-7xDO2rimSgTLzY8BQ3bIJQueXkCnUh9Bs8h6qL8lNbXPelDP127jX_CAbubtU3-uTvJTe4Zfev04hTHfwHvxuPHMo2VvgtDqVp0NKeWH8n7dLO/s1600/books.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6Qf0iyjH0LrE3kfHGaKO3O15qg9M5b-7xDO2rimSgTLzY8BQ3bIJQueXkCnUh9Bs8h6qL8lNbXPelDP127jX_CAbubtU3-uTvJTe4Zfev04hTHfwHvxuPHMo2VvgtDqVp0NKeWH8n7dLO/s640/books.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Before I had Baby Glitter and I worked in an office, I used to visit my local library quite regularly because it was right by my workplace. Then, when I became an at home Mummy, life lost it's routine a bit and I didn't feel like shlepping off to a library was convenient. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Well, I was wrong. It turns out, my local library is literally at ten minute stroll away! I only discovered this last month when I made the effort to take Baby Glitter out on a walk and was shocked at how close it actually is - I felt almost silly for not knowing.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">We now go weekly and absolutely love it. It is completely free to join the library and all you have to do is walk in, go to the desk and tell them you'd like to sign up. You fill out a pretty basic form, take the card they give you and voila- it's book time!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicT4T-ySHuavLTrcTU68QXpIm62aM0CqPYUYFMerxRklKnhSndyjbFg_Lc124qho107ZKHlbsGq3jhHSenjAan5SQC2Y0AVMhe1a_j7ZAciCClXnMMVtXqKSY306UtB1etOXqDdh9ROphN/s1600/books2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="450" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicT4T-ySHuavLTrcTU68QXpIm62aM0CqPYUYFMerxRklKnhSndyjbFg_Lc124qho107ZKHlbsGq3jhHSenjAan5SQC2Y0AVMhe1a_j7ZAciCClXnMMVtXqKSY306UtB1etOXqDdh9ROphN/s640/books2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I wanted to write this post because going to the library with Baby Glitter has become one of my happy things and this blog is a place to share and document those.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Great Things About the Library</b> ::</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Borrow :: You can take up to 8 books out for free, for up to 3 weeks. Seeing as Baby Glitter has her own card, we can leave with up to 16 and I'm glad her pram has a big basket to carry them all!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Not feel Pressured :: Knowing that borrowing is free, I don't feel stressed about what I take out. Usually I will take quite a selection and may only read 1-2, but that's alright, I haven't just had to shell out £80 like I would have in a shop. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Be calm :: Libraries are quiet, tranquil places and I happen to really enjoy the peace of them and feel very relaxed and soothed there.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Create :: Our library has a big table with tubs of wax crayons, pencils, felt tips and paper for children. Baby Glitter is just learning to hold these sorts of things and has already created a few masterpieces. You don't have to ask to use these things, they are just always out. Once I came to the library and saw a bunch of old ladies making quilts, which I thought was a cute little group too. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Surf :: I'm not sure if you have to pay a small fee or not, but there is a sizable bank of computers and desks, should you want to use the internet or write a document etc. I haven't looked into this but I would imagine there are also printers and a photocopier but expect you would have to contribute toward using these. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Shop :: In most libraries there are often 'sale rails' where you can buy old books for incredibly low prices.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Read :: I know this is an obvious one, but you don't actually have to leave the building with books. Quite often I will sit in the children's corner and read Baby Glitter stories and then put the books back.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Socialise :: I take Baby Glitter to a 'Rhyme Time' group (for free) where she learns songs and actions with other tots and all of the Mum's sit round the edge and rather awkwardly join in. It's really great for little ones and the musical instruments they are given to play with are very stimulating. At the end, they are given stickers and you have a chance to chat with other Mother's/Carer's. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Those are just a few of the things we do at our library but you can also borrow DVD's, Videos and CD's. I also saw a poster last week asking for young people (I think 13-19) to volunteer during the summer. I'm going to encourage my sister to do this as it will look good on her CV and be beneficial to any further education applications.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Did you know there was so much to do at a library?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Toodlepip!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">xx</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This month my <i>Ultimate Advertiser</i> is <b><a href="http://confessionsofasecretshopper.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Confessions of a Secret Shopper</a></b>.

Lou's Reviews || Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Another day, another review- I'm on a roll eh?!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I bought these <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Revlon-Just-Bitten%C2%99-Lipstain-Balm_1208067/?cm_mmc_o=-uubkbzfwlCjCKww5kbELCjCvi%20i9%20niioCjCC" rel="nofollow" style="color: magenta;" target="_blank">Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains</a> a few days ago from Superdrug for £5.99 each (an introductory offer as soon they will be £7.99) and already LOVE them. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I was pleased as punch with the Revlon Lip Butters (I now own even more and will be featuring my new ones soon), so I had quite a lot of faith in Revlon bringing out another great lip product.  </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV1Vyr6k-hFikYvo_OHUByGrwvPP7P_HKoiCH2vt22D7AJpxbcctarMkYnctsoSEke48VyAIg5gn1hH3sFtYAvChDT0VeK1uZCfT9h40gQGbw6cR7sD56-Pv3d_FWhm_IGHWg1vJs_l74c/s1600/Balmstains.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="542" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV1Vyr6k-hFikYvo_OHUByGrwvPP7P_HKoiCH2vt22D7AJpxbcctarMkYnctsoSEke48VyAIg5gn1hH3sFtYAvChDT0VeK1uZCfT9h40gQGbw6cR7sD56-Pv3d_FWhm_IGHWg1vJs_l74c/s640/Balmstains.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I have heard many liken these nourishing little pencils of colour to the Clinique Chubby Sticks, but as I haven't tried them, I can't really compare. What I can say though is that I have tried other 'balm sticks' of a similiar ilk and never really got excited by them. This was either because they lacked pigmentation OR dried my lips.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Well, these are the opposite- hoo-ray. They have fabulous colour payoff (so much so that when I was on Skype to ZoeChummy and wearing 'Lovesick', she thought I was wearing one of my MAC Lipsticks) and leave my lips feeling soft and juicy and not at all flakey dry. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8ZuFf0Y31ynQJ3P3dIXObO2a432NSAE79ojhZo8aXBYy-5Ws6wM4qTrKBITVP-RRFCl5JO8fJoi8WB1n0jmP_SsoMjQjtKrzZCFznwQ5ezufr4DCPuvpvQg3xw8LVSUCSoER_xXtXsjQx/s1600/3lipslabelled.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8ZuFf0Y31ynQJ3P3dIXObO2a432NSAE79ojhZo8aXBYy-5Ws6wM4qTrKBITVP-RRFCl5JO8fJoi8WB1n0jmP_SsoMjQjtKrzZCFznwQ5ezufr4DCPuvpvQg3xw8LVSUCSoER_xXtXsjQx/s400/3lipslabelled.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></i></div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm not usually one for lip swatches because it's weird to see my own mouth in such detail (so please don't point and laugh), but I felt like 'mouth shots' would do this product a lot more justice than regular skin swipes. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The staying power of these are great. This is probably where the 'stain' part comes in and I'm really happy about this. I had reservations that something so nourishing and hydrating would wear off very quickly. My Lip Butters are gorgeous but I do have to reapply fairly regularly, unlike these.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The packaging is just right for me and reflects the price point well. Not crazy flashy, but pretty and something I'm confident to pull out of my handbag. Also, you won't need to sharpen these, as you simply twist the silver bottom and more product twirls up.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">There are 7 colours of these available in the UK (but more for our lucky American friends) and whilst I am in town tomorrow I may just pick up a couple more (so that spending ban went well!).</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Do these Balm Stains entice you as much as they do me? Have my up close lips scared you off Sprinkle of Glitter?!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Toodlepip!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">xx</div>
