The Husband Tag

<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;">I was pleased to see last week how many of you said they enjoyed the video update routine we have going on here. Sometimes, if I'm feeling kerazzy, I add in another Wednesday too- I like to keep you on your toes.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/36Sadfp0IkE" width="640"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This week I had a special guest on my channel for 'The Husband Tag'. No, not my husband. My Fusband! Mark is mine and Matt's good friend and is married to Clare (also our good friend). Since Matt isn't keen (yet) on being in videos for long periods of time, Mark kindly offered to be his stand in for me. A minority of people have asked if our spouses (Matt and Clare) mind and the answer is 'absolutely not!'. I think they'd mind if we jetted off on an exotic holiday or started a torrid affair, but making a couple of funny YouTube videos and then all having a takeaway and laughing until the small hours together is fine. Just thought I'd put that little fire out now!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">It was so much fun making this video and from the comments, it seems that Mark is quite the hit with you too.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This Sunday I have a much, much more serious video to go up, quite different from my latest vlogs.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">What sort of videos do you watch most on YouTube?

<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 may surprise you to know that for the last 6 or 7 months I have been pretty tense. It's hard to explain but I feel like a lot is on my shoulders and that if I relax or let go, something bad will happen. Without yammering on and on, I'm learning to let go of the stresses and focus on what's most important- enjoying the little moments of life.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">With that in mind, Darcy and I have taken to playing outside in our PJ's, just because we can. </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/AVvXsEjjnIwnHRSPPyIYw_II8CE62-FF1DqA7Pj2vgoNCpztaJEVRY2w4ahkCL0Z0qtADjPtpNjtYaUTYjKm0hNI4FXEf478MM9sBkmIOPCONlxOWgeHS0uLZmcnohER0Usi9g3ktOS1ljEBvy5C/s1600/IMG_0226.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Tea Party | Lifestyle Blog | Sprinkle of Glitter" border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjnIwnHRSPPyIYw_II8CE62-FF1DqA7Pj2vgoNCpztaJEVRY2w4ahkCL0Z0qtADjPtpNjtYaUTYjKm0hNI4FXEf478MM9sBkmIOPCONlxOWgeHS0uLZmcnohER0Usi9g3ktOS1ljEBvy5C/s640/IMG_0226.JPG" title="Tea Party | Lifestyle Blog | Sprinkle of Glitter" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5VaOEshrEWK-ZGvn7MQ15fTDQHnKBZtukgHKO-5tqfKPEoohRiCTGvOs71prG5aB4UudEIUFmZ1MuVkThDWeKUNhnUJGba6Sxk1jNE49jGfRa4tCCg06WNlcwfIsFWZw34No9LCsziGPj/s1600/Tea1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Tea Party | Lifestyle Blog | Sprinkle of Glitter" border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5VaOEshrEWK-ZGvn7MQ15fTDQHnKBZtukgHKO-5tqfKPEoohRiCTGvOs71prG5aB4UudEIUFmZ1MuVkThDWeKUNhnUJGba6Sxk1jNE49jGfRa4tCCg06WNlcwfIsFWZw34No9LCsziGPj/s640/Tea1.jpg" title="Tea Party | Lifestyle Blog | Sprinkle of Glitter" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzcdb7NEMuayjDTSmBittmTH86xNAHycU_Zv9AUyxGRE0V6Y0mG8zeSC0-XbE4R6JEn8ha_F-vvvGgV93VKwvZox2S_CzCCp_fzoOAqbBVAFUERnpgNfh4Cda2VhmiA1Kyq4b1HftNETBf/s1600/Tea4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Tea Party | Lifestyle Blog | Sprinkle of Glitter" border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzcdb7NEMuayjDTSmBittmTH86xNAHycU_Zv9AUyxGRE0V6Y0mG8zeSC0-XbE4R6JEn8ha_F-vvvGgV93VKwvZox2S_CzCCp_fzoOAqbBVAFUERnpgNfh4Cda2VhmiA1Kyq4b1HftNETBf/s640/Tea4.jpg" title="Tea Party | Lifestyle Blog | Sprinkle of Glitter" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixDXWZIP8syo6ohvOwf81ol2mgzAlDcVe5f_9Dt3ZorYckm__gF2J7AqLuY2AV5lctvccH9ViGvuf3iaa6MXaVq_ZPYQy-wDKdGPpbVlX4b_ZtuxVK5V4NtjpEP-4P8_zPxlLoEGSyzr4a/s1600/Tea2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Tea Party | Lifestyle Blog | Sprinkle of Glitter" border="0" height="420" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixDXWZIP8syo6ohvOwf81ol2mgzAlDcVe5f_9Dt3ZorYckm__gF2J7AqLuY2AV5lctvccH9ViGvuf3iaa6MXaVq_ZPYQy-wDKdGPpbVlX4b_ZtuxVK5V4NtjpEP-4P8_zPxlLoEGSyzr4a/s640/Tea2.jpg" title="Tea Party | Lifestyle Blog | Sprinkle of Glitter" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I've been enjoyed our daily pj-garden-tea-party quite a lot more than I anticipated.

Also, no face shots today, we both look a mess and I decided not to spend time messing about glamourising for the sake of a few quick pictures. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Do you ever feel under a lot of pressure to have a perfect life?

Note, 'just about'. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Sometimes though, people are just total arses (pardon my french) and you don't need them in your life. I'm not talking about the girl who is mostly OK but occasionally makes a little dig at you or the friend who is always late or always cancels, those are foibles and traits you can accept, forgive or work with. I'm talking about the person who drains you of any happy thoughts, the person who makes you feel continuously small, the person who deliberately humiliates you in order to feel better about their own life, or the person who isn't willing to communicate properly with you despite your best efforts.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">If you have tried all your first ports of call (talking, being kind, offering the hand of friendship, explaining your concerns maturely etc) and hit a brick wall, let it go. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">You won't and can't be friends with everyone for the entirety of your earthly days, if you do, I tip my virtual cap to you good sir. It's alright to let relationships die (if done nicely) and it's OK to say to yourself, 'I don't like him/her, I'm not going to spend time with them'. You don't have to be rude or horrible, simply let them live their life and you can live yours. You're not a failure (and nor are they), you are just making a healthy choice for your life. It's OK to walk away. It can be very liberating. If you feel it worthwhile (99.9% of time I do), leave the door open so that you can walk back or reach out to them.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I'd like to ask you to use this advice with caution and look back at last week where we talked about not rushing into our reactions. Both done badly and you're going to burn a lot of bridges!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I'd also like to clarify that this post isn't about a specific person or people that I have an axe to grind with, I just liked the quote and thought it was worth discussing.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://twitter.com/Sprinkleofglitr" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Twitter</a><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> | </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/sprinkleofglitter" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">YouTube</a><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> | </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/sprinkleofglitter?ref=hl" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Facebook</a><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> | </span><a href="http://pinterest.com/babyglitter/" style="color: #6c0945; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Pinterest</a><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> | </span><a href="http://www.hellocotton.com/mypage/sprinkle-of-glitter" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Hello Cotton</a><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> | </span><a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/1918059/sprinkle-of-glitter" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Bloglovin'</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">What do you think?

Motivational Monday #12

Aloha Sprinklerinos, Merry Monday to you my little chipolata....errrrr...it's early. Today's quote (from Pinterest ) made me laugh ...

11:30 PM

Crappy Sheep Day

<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Not too many weeks ago, on a cold, grey day, after we'd taken Darcy for a lovely milkshake that she prompty threw up, gone home, washed and changed, we went to a near by spot to see some sheep and lambs. Yeah, that's right, the weather was sh*t and we'd dealt with puke.

Luxury Lipsticks || April

<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;">If you watched my <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkcWKDLeXkg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Luxury Makeup Haul on my YouTube channel</a> last month, you will know that I have had quite the splurge lately, mostly on lipsticks. 'Oopusdazy', as Darcy would say.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I don't know what it is about a luxury lipsticks that pleases me so very much but honestly, I think I have a problem. I buy them like money is going out of fashion and I have about three floating around every handbag. It's almost a bit embarrassing!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="text-align: center;">Before this pricey little problem goes any further, I thought it might be a good idea to review my current top three and plan to do this again in the future. Heaven knows I've got enough to feature!!</span><br /><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/AVvXsEg1po9cqizAOude69gsDRupXZVur7j8vVEJGn-99AL3MyI7xIThNuBEUIhTWcQBGC8Wvj9qRrcYVzXUE3A64aeeNVkffKyGLnt9Yc5veIBLBoatpt-gatu-ejFYgqyr2W9Qtz_Xaeir1xPT/s1600/FavLuxLips1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Luxury Lipstick YSL MAC Armani" border="0" height="442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1po9cqizAOude69gsDRupXZVur7j8vVEJGn-99AL3MyI7xIThNuBEUIhTWcQBGC8Wvj9qRrcYVzXUE3A64aeeNVkffKyGLnt9Yc5veIBLBoatpt-gatu-ejFYgqyr2W9Qtz_Xaeir1xPT/s640/FavLuxLips1.jpg" title="Luxury Lipstick YSL MAC Armani" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This month I have found myself coming back to the same three lipsticks again and again. <a href="http://www.selfridges.com/en/Beauty/Categories/Shop-Make-up-colour/Lips/Lipstick/Rouge-dArmani-lipstick_317-77011643-ROUGEDARMANI/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Armani Rouge d'Armani in 503</a> (rrp £25), <a href="http://www.selfridges.com/en/Beauty/Brand-rooms/Designer/YVES-SAINT-LAURENT/Whats-new/Rouge-Volupte-Shine-lipstick_456-84033258-ROUGEVOLUPTESHINE/?ddkey=http%3AShopbrandsView&freeText=YSL+CORAL+INTUITIVE&msg=MSG_SEARCH_ONE_MATCHING_PRODUCT&recentSearchesBean=com.salmon.ec.search.databeans.RecentSearchesBean%40364692e5&shouldCachePage=true&x=-1077&y=-82" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">YSL Coral Intuitive</a> (rrp £24) and <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.co.uk/products/spp/shaded.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CAT168&PRODUCT_ID=PROD310&SKU_ID=SKU43338" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">MAC Candy Yum Yum</a> (rrp £14). </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I look to Armani when I'm having a low key day with just mascara and concealer because it makes me feel like I've added a hint of glamour to and otherwise 'meh' look. I use the YSL number for muted peachy lips when I have done big black smokey eyes and I turn to MAC Candy Yum Yum when I want to be show-stopping (which is surprisingly more often than you'd think. Worrying). </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFUVlc1QM8dDMlggwkxxf1Wj5LZbNmhPnO-pFQ-Nk877UMdJA6mbcEMy0-XxSY88V_UvzJ3fpuV-t9VoCvEKi-AqykoJmXN_ieO-TGS83tJPW3mJLZn55kVJjYFONDcLWtq5TVVnA-qRcO/s1600/FavLuxLips2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Luxury Lipstick YSL MAC Armani" border="0" height="440" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFUVlc1QM8dDMlggwkxxf1Wj5LZbNmhPnO-pFQ-Nk877UMdJA6mbcEMy0-XxSY88V_UvzJ3fpuV-t9VoCvEKi-AqykoJmXN_ieO-TGS83tJPW3mJLZn55kVJjYFONDcLWtq5TVVnA-qRcO/s640/FavLuxLips2.jpg" title="Luxury Lipstick YSL MAC Armani" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">As you can see from the swatches, both the Armani and YSL lipsticks have a frosted/sheen finish, where as Candy Yum Yum is entirely matte. Personally I prefer to add a little lipbalm over the top to keep my lips from drying and to add some shine, but I know some people love a gloss free lip. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'd also like to add, just because I'm anal, that the Armani has a beautifully engraved 'GA' on the bullet. Sadly, mine has sort of smooshed off due to a tragic melting in the sunlight accident but it was lovely none the less. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPUF7jZUTAbNpAMNp-Gio4nopt74m9Q4Pv2KOspxeYM3jrMWpmIrrBi2eHfTugNSRk_EaoGrfDcEwlQcY7QTdto0V5IDPAgDoY-PZbkczlb_i154PjC3dcNdRbWs5lDR7nZ3nZy9avycrF/s1600/FavLipsLux4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Luxury Lipstick Swatches YSL MAC Armani" border="0" height="416" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPUF7jZUTAbNpAMNp-Gio4nopt74m9Q4Pv2KOspxeYM3jrMWpmIrrBi2eHfTugNSRk_EaoGrfDcEwlQcY7QTdto0V5IDPAgDoY-PZbkczlb_i154PjC3dcNdRbWs5lDR7nZ3nZy9avycrF/s640/FavLipsLux4.jpg" title="Luxury Lipstick Swatches YSL MAC Armani" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">All three apply beautifully, last a great amount of time (by 'great' I mean about 4-6 hours, probably more like 8 for the MAC), have gooorrgeous packaging (magnetic seal for Armani that gives a VERY satisfying click and just look at the YSL would you!) and make me feel amazing.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-Pu9I3sGQpPr_0hAGohW9aS_TUg1gKkzRmVphEZ4SqWc13TUsBixeO-kJ_FMeRUiXuAQ9blvJhQS5Jb9iEa0S09l2w92KDhT9r-lCLcXwBTX9g7vbp8K5y0Cw8yITYjSgqycrs4XPIM95/s1600/FavLuxLips3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Luxury Lipstick YSL MAC Armani" border="0" height="432" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-Pu9I3sGQpPr_0hAGohW9aS_TUg1gKkzRmVphEZ4SqWc13TUsBixeO-kJ_FMeRUiXuAQ9blvJhQS5Jb9iEa0S09l2w92KDhT9r-lCLcXwBTX9g7vbp8K5y0Cw8yITYjSgqycrs4XPIM95/s640/FavLuxLips3.jpg" title="Luxury Lipstick YSL MAC Armani" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Yes, I know these are frivolous, and yes, I know there are likely to be great dupes out there for these, but to me, they're worth it. It's not just colour on the lips in pretty casing, it's the way they make me feel.  When I wear one of these products I instantly feel more 'together'.

<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;">I've actually already blogged today (scroll down why dontchya) but I wanted to give you another quickie- ooer.</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/AVvXsEgFRq-kHW0x-FNrDrxglASNxwzcPugI-KmWw9CUsVh4zDeh8xFaVz2wxe9FODOFttIJaEFPLGXXQn00L6bCCZtQAA3os9x677MXq0XmQA7rr9NM_AkrQf5neTKMcWosxDj8shrwoqscm0V4/s1600/IMG_0112.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="cheap blusher palette" border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFRq-kHW0x-FNrDrxglASNxwzcPugI-KmWw9CUsVh4zDeh8xFaVz2wxe9FODOFttIJaEFPLGXXQn00L6bCCZtQAA3os9x677MXq0XmQA7rr9NM_AkrQf5neTKMcWosxDj8shrwoqscm0V4/s640/IMG_0112.JPG" title="Cheap blusher palette" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I bought this palette a few weeks ago from ebay as a treat for my new Step Sister Hollie and now that she has opened it, I managed to take a quick snap.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This is a ten piece blusher palette and Hollie is thrilled. She hasn't used it yet so I'm not ready to comment on it's quality but based purely on price (£3.49 inc p&p), looks and size (big but slim), it seems like a total winner. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I think this is ideal if you are looking to have all your blushers in one place or if you are starting out and building up your collection, like my little sister is. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This isn't a review, but me letting you know about affordable beauty products that might tickle your pickle.

Amazing Advertisers | | April 2013

<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;">How on earth do these months keep rolling by so fast? Soon it will be Autumn and I'll say, 'remember back in April...' haha.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">As always, we have had some gorgeous blogs gracing the side bar this month and now is the chance to get to know them a little better and have a look around their slice of the net- they'd love to have you.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Large" class="full-size" height="640" src="http://data.whicdn.com/images/59335377/large.png" width="457" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://weheartit.com/entry/59335377/via/GabbyDirectioner" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>(Image)</i></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://barbieandpie.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Barbie And Pie</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This month my Ultimate advertiser has been Barbie and Pie and the first thing I want to say about her is- I AM SO JEALOUS OF YOUR TEETH AND HAIR. Ok, now that's out of the way, this blog is a little gem and I think it's going to do really well. I love how the reviews aren't super overload-you-with-facts but you still get all the info you need in a chatty-talking-to-a-pal way. I also feel that I can relate to this blog as the fashion posts are aimed at curvaliscious women like me with a deep love for skater style dresses. Since you have a spare moment (you must do if you're purusing the blogersphere right now, why not hop over and have a mooch for yourself. It's nice. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.thewonderforest.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Wonder Forest</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Dana is a blogging WonderWoman (see what I did there?). Not only does she have a goooorrrgeous beauty and lifestyle blog, an amazing e-book, an ETSY shop and a blog design service, she now has an app (<a href="http://bloggo.ca/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a>). Is there anything this lady can't do? Her blog (and the rest of her online empire) is a visual delight so hop on over and check it all out. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.blushingappraisal.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Blushing Appraisal</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Blushing Appraisal is what I would call a 'classic beauty blog'. It offers individual reviews of products (something I need to get back into), regular updates on beauty treatments and a lot of well thought out, accurate information. This blog is a great place for people who need the facts in a friendly and pretty environment. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://aouibitof.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">A Oui Bit Of</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">When Aimee's Grandfather passed away and she inherited his camera, she decided to put it to good use and start a blog. Firstly, I LOVE that. Her grandfather may not be here now but because of his gift, something beautiful has happened and we can all benefit from it. Secondly, this is a lovely blog full of reviews, life and happy moments. I'm all about the happy. Love love love. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.lindseyduffin.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Life Beauty Music</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Lindsey is a little love. Her blog (oh so surprisingly) is about life, beauty and music. Being a non musicy person I thought it wouldn't be my taste but how wrong I was. Lindsey aspires to play to thousands and I really hope she does. I love it when people have a goal that they actively work for or try to achieve, it motivates me to achieve mine too. Go and see if she motivates you. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.charlotteswebblog.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Charlotte's Web</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Charlotte's Web is a blog I've been reading and loving forever. I'd read her even if I hadn't had brief twitter chats with her and even if she didn't advertise over here. To fill you in- lifestyle blog with a bit of everything yadda yadda yadda. Really, I just want you to hop on over to read her 'perfection and passports' post. It really strikes a cord and is something I think we can all relate to, warts an all!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.beaublushes.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Beau Blushes</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Oh no, another blog to get sucked into and spend all your time reading! This 'little bit of everything' blog is the kind that you end up flicking through for about 25 minutes and then wonder what you were meant to be doing. EG. It's addictive!! Also, I now want to go to a wedding fair, despite being married over 2 years now. Dagnamit. Go have a looksie.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://stacie-lifeisworththefight.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Life Is Worth The Fight</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Stacie is a long time amazing advertiser and a long time inspiration. Suffering from Pulmonary Hypertension, Stacie is documenting her fight for life in a frank, detailed but relatable way, as well as sharing beauty ideas, life snippits and information about transplants. I've learnt a lot about this blog and often think about Stacie and her journey. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://infamousimperfection.blogspot.ca/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Glamoration Nation</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This Canadian beauty blog is informative and easy to read. I have enjoyed the mix of beauty chats (drugstore makeup dramas!), life chats and reviews. This blog is fairly new so do go over and show it some love. If your a video junkie, there is a coinciding youtube channel for you to watch.

Baby Style || Pretty In Pastels

<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;">Since I haven't done an Baby OOTD since <a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/baby-style-spy-mac-and-studs.html" target="_blank">THIS ONE</a> in February, I thought it was about time I did another. I tell you what though, making a toddler stand still for long enough to focus your camera is about as easy as solving a problem like Maria <i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(hope you get that Sound of Music fans)</span></i>. In summary, photographing a tot is hard! I'm obviously not going to force her to do it so we're gonna work with what we've got.</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/AVvXsEh8kTxbFiCwzqqGOJy4-La4c9GwYFPiK3uD4Ca9MBGU6gdQ4uyf-jf5ZyjoRcTT65_QAzPpu0DYiEOIjTI1JDh6hyphenhyphenl59OJEFPi1V1737tyT0PCncS3u222aBlLD5wCHXZH6bF7lKaOB50ix/s1600/Baby+Style+Pastels.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Baby Fashion" border="0" height="490" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8kTxbFiCwzqqGOJy4-La4c9GwYFPiK3uD4Ca9MBGU6gdQ4uyf-jf5ZyjoRcTT65_QAzPpu0DYiEOIjTI1JDh6hyphenhyphenl59OJEFPi1V1737tyT0PCncS3u222aBlLD5wCHXZH6bF7lKaOB50ix/s640/Baby+Style+Pastels.jpg" title="Baby Fashion" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This photograph was taken at Easter outside our church and is what she wore to the service. We don't always dress up too fancy but since it was a special occasion (good old Jesus rising again etc- don't go mad at me for having a religious moment please), we made an effort. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Pink Hair Clip - H&M</div><div style="text-align: center;">Cream Vest Onsie - H&M</div><div style="text-align: center;">Mint Cable Knit Cardi - Primark</div><div style="text-align: center;">Pink Bow Tutu - Gifted from <a href="http://picklebeanbooks.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Marie</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Cream Tights - H&M</div><div style="text-align: center;">Baby Blue Sparkle Pumps - Next</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I tend to steer Baby Glitter's wardrobe towards pastels because I think they suit her and she's such a little girlie girl that she is happy to wear them. Oooohhh ggaawwdddd I love dressing that kid!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">As you can see, all of Darcy's clothes are from highstreet stores (except the gift) and I think they look amazing. If you have the money and you want to go designer then yay, but for us, we love a good bargain! We look in stores, supermarkets, charity shops, consignment fairs and boot sales for clothes and often find absolute gems. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I will do more of these Baby Style posts as and when the kidling permits me to get a good shot of her. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Where do you shop for children's clothes? Do you secretly wish you could wear that cardigan too?

Motivational Monday #11

<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;">Since I started this feature, I have had so many messages saying how much you enjoy it so to those of you who have gotten in touch- thank you, I'm glad to see positivity multiply. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">And again, Happy Monday to you all. Monday's are not a day to dread but a day to embrace as they are the start of something new and a chance to wipe the slate clean and try again. </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/AVvXsEip6m1R2EWzZpd27feT9DTELilxrn1AJ3dUtinEiidMj6cnSzVr5dcYBsBd3OTzDTSIbJOwJI12OvClUtdYxDUYdeQ85nFWRh4_eGDi9XEzI8BaTsUmF10OcP2UxUPCsIuBhhWVeXpStx-9/s1600/Screen+Shot+2013-04-18+at+12.44.36.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Motivational Monday" border="0" height="377" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip6m1R2EWzZpd27feT9DTELilxrn1AJ3dUtinEiidMj6cnSzVr5dcYBsBd3OTzDTSIbJOwJI12OvClUtdYxDUYdeQ85nFWRh4_eGDi9XEzI8BaTsUmF10OcP2UxUPCsIuBhhWVeXpStx-9/s640/Screen+Shot+2013-04-18+at+12.44.36.png" title="Motivational Monday" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Today's Motivational Monday (taken from <a href="http://pinterest.com/louiseglitter/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a>) is one that rings very very true with my personality type.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Sometimes in life, a situation is thrown up at us that invokes immediate emotions and makes us want to share how we feel straight away. A colleague at work could bait you with a derogatory comment or a friend might say something that really riles you. It is natural to want to respond in kind and let them know how you feel.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It would be fair to say that in some circumstances that would be the right action. It would also be pretty fair to say that in a lot of cases, it's not the most efficient. To clarify 'efficient', I mean that it's not always the quickest way to a solution and it's not always the most gentle way either. I believe in gentle. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Throughout my life (just like you), I've had situations where I have wanted to scream at somebody or I have had someone do something crappy etc. Over time I have developed a bit of a coping mechanism. <i>Do nothing for at least an hour</i>. Unless it's like a life or death grab-someones-hand-before-they-fall-off-the-cliff dealio (which with my weak arms I'd be rubbish at anyway), there is no need to go all guns blazing into something. Take a moment, gather your thoughts, weigh up your options ad consider the consequences. Will you feel so angry tomorrow? Will the anger just throw up a new problem (name calling and swearing are not easily forgotten)? Is there anyone you could talk this through with before you get all-up-in-their-grill? (I'm so down with the lingo).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">What I'm saying today is, if this week you find yourself in a stressful situation, take a tiny bit of time to move away from it, assess it and then react. You don't <i>need</i> to do it instantly. More often than not, by giving yourself that space, you will make a much better reaction and the situation will run a lot more smoothly, resulting is a happier life for you. And we all want happy, right?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Is this something you might try this week? If you do give it a whirl, come and tell me in the comments if it worked!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="color: #666666;

Green Fingers?

<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;">I'm a homebird. I love to be in my house and think of it as my palace. I always feel safe and secure in it and spend hours mooching round websites looking at ways to improve my nest.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Something I have neglected for the past 3 years though is the garden. Matt cuts the grace but that's about it. We don't grow flowers, we don't paint fences, we don't build decking. It's really dismal.</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/AVvXsEgSJ4V7CCVDcq13ZAZIC4OYhhkrNLupqSBPsJXvp2pk7lsqknlAYyzrEtJRAD48KJcC8m77E6SS2Cb3pG0pQowi5VUnSZ0U_tctM6GDGn46BrGQrJ1Ymv65FtTtEOf05DkZkAOBp-lfB5bk/s1600/Garden2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Garden revamp" border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSJ4V7CCVDcq13ZAZIC4OYhhkrNLupqSBPsJXvp2pk7lsqknlAYyzrEtJRAD48KJcC8m77E6SS2Cb3pG0pQowi5VUnSZ0U_tctM6GDGn46BrGQrJ1Ymv65FtTtEOf05DkZkAOBp-lfB5bk/s640/Garden2.jpg" title="Garden revamp" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So, this year we're going into outdoors crackdown mode. I want to enjoy summer outside before I get rickets so we're revamping- on a shoestring! I can't bare to spend money on something so boring.

Three Is Not A Crowd

<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;">I think there might be something in the air at the moment. Maybe it's because it's Spring or maybe because Darcy is officially not a baby anymore (I decided 2 was the cut off point), but a LOT of people in my personal life and my Sprinkle of Glitter life have been asking, 'When will you have your next baby?' and I don't know how I feel about being asked that.</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/AVvXsEichLZdAD4zHZLTDSsfy4EjY645l3FNbaHhV0KLaUpf0NQaUGo-2mMqEqhv0EqjZCokaHfFsZyCDp3kUTQ02BE2KlLud4SvQDK2iUZDJtoJ4753mL1HvP1a2kK_7034yZrHReBDj9yF8IgE/s1600/three.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Family of three" border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEichLZdAD4zHZLTDSsfy4EjY645l3FNbaHhV0KLaUpf0NQaUGo-2mMqEqhv0EqjZCokaHfFsZyCDp3kUTQ02BE2KlLud4SvQDK2iUZDJtoJ4753mL1HvP1a2kK_7034yZrHReBDj9yF8IgE/s640/three.jpg" title="Family of three" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(If you haven't tried a chocolate cream frapperchino with a shot of peppermint from Starbucks yet, you haven't lived. Also, how tranquil is this little spot we like to go to? B-e-a-utiful)</span></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">On one hand I think, 'ooohhhh I suppose it's natural to ask since I have a toddler and a husband and am blessed to be physically able to have another (I think)'. But then on the other hand I think, 'why are you presuming that I would want to increase my family size and why is it any of your business whether my Husband is going to impregnate me with his sperm?!?'. Yeah, that just got graphic. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">A lot of my friends are in the 'we want multiple children' camp, some already do and some have buns cooking in ovens as I type. For them I am pleased. Brave are the woman who push a human out of their nether regions and then opt to do it again. Selfless are the women who happily change nappies for years and give up their sleep. I really do admire them.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">For me though, at the moment, I'm not there. I'm not saying I've entirely ruled out the prospect of more little glitters, but right now, I'm enjoying my life.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I enjoy being (for the first time ever) financially stable and able to support Darcy. I enjoy the little luxuries we now have. I enjoy that she sleeps through the night and I enjoy my job that I can give a lot of myself to. For me, at the moment, I feel like three is the perfect number. Matt and I get to spend so much fun time with Darcy, we get to do fun things as a couple because she's such an easy kid to babysit and I get to spend enough time writing this blog and filming my videos. At the moment, everyone is a winner.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">So lovely Sprinklerino, next time you think about asking a woman when her next baby is due to come <strike>ripping</strike> shooting down the birth canal, have a think about how welcome your enquiries are going to be. Just because it seems like the norm, doesn't mean it will be. Some people (shock horror) have no desire to procreate at all and some, very sadly, simply cannot. I know that people ask about babies because they are so lovely (the asker and the baby) and I know this is a bit of a ranty post, but that was just my two cents. It's very rare that I get a bit extreme on this slice of the net but today I did. Maybe I need some chocolate crispy cakes and a bath haha!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">What do you think on this matter? I bet you all have a lot of opinions on this!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://twitter.com/Sprinkleofglitr" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Twitter</a> | <a href="http://www.youtube.com/sprinkleofglitter" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">YouTube</a> | <a href="http://www.facebook.com/sprinkleofglitter?ref=hl" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Facebook</a> | <a href="http://pinterest.com/babyglitter/" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> | <a href="http://www.hellocotton.com/mypage/sprinkle-of-glitter" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Hello Cotton</a> | <a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/1918059/sprinkle-of-glitter" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Bloglovin'</a></div></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">Toodlepip!</div></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><div style="text-align: center;">xx</div></div>
