The Park, The Family and Me

<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;">A few weeks back (maybe I need to do 2 lifestyle posts a week to fit them all in?!) our church held a community day in our local park. It was where ours and a few other churches got together, talked, ate ice cream, listened to music, socialised and kiddies ran about in the sunshine. It was lovely.</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/AVvXsEjz4r5mt8-k7H7cH-iPtCszVWuobTrXBc__mzLJx0uqjTAR_GNd1620c0BPqIA9QRoXlCklbmk_vm24IIVBr6cYQEeYKIOadgPiz7Lr79p17eVNbIAkDfi7MG6uabnR1FuUktKfOh2KPHgz/s1600/Darcypark1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Sprinkle of Glitter Lifestyle " border="0" height="398" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz4r5mt8-k7H7cH-iPtCszVWuobTrXBc__mzLJx0uqjTAR_GNd1620c0BPqIA9QRoXlCklbmk_vm24IIVBr6cYQEeYKIOadgPiz7Lr79p17eVNbIAkDfi7MG6uabnR1FuUktKfOh2KPHgz/s640/Darcypark1.jpg" title="Sprinkle of Glitter Lifestyle " width="640" /></a></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/AVvXsEjELtWqsokCArtXldxcEuaWe83e7IfRwegvRR2gM5gKRLdOSIo7q27iNVk0Xcq7Q-F01tNshPfs4V3-uY4xATeTtCYWk60ByA4BQJ5AP5iaH6NXoDvaCKrC2omW9VemG0SHM5q_XFvQ3nXp/s1600/Park2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Sprinkle of Glitter Lifestyle " border="0" height="384" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjELtWqsokCArtXldxcEuaWe83e7IfRwegvRR2gM5gKRLdOSIo7q27iNVk0Xcq7Q-F01tNshPfs4V3-uY4xATeTtCYWk60ByA4BQJ5AP5iaH6NXoDvaCKrC2omW9VemG0SHM5q_XFvQ3nXp/s640/Park2.jpg" title="Sprinkle of Glitter Lifestyle " width="640" /></a></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/AVvXsEgLyTCCnz9Wi_953DdGTjj6cYGFFO1pScR5TlnywmayjMghDsYenc9xTHJBSWa_28EQwsRgDr0uEbgMVnHSxuDakLkHYarPH0OsOQPdu_Qtk-d7udIEtrk5JoUPIa4PhLvdhB8yO_LMeAt9/s1600/park10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Sprinkle of Glitter Lifestyle " border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLyTCCnz9Wi_953DdGTjj6cYGFFO1pScR5TlnywmayjMghDsYenc9xTHJBSWa_28EQwsRgDr0uEbgMVnHSxuDakLkHYarPH0OsOQPdu_Qtk-d7udIEtrk5JoUPIa4PhLvdhB8yO_LMeAt9/s640/park10.jpg" title="Sprinkle of Glitter Lifestyle " width="640" /></a></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/AVvXsEgRofWUma8QHTuTO_jWYqdOvzXCJklFj1Jml2NwKWQi1K_sdS96aBKMUGwHwCk_B-mIk9_a1aBurdmTeN9uapwhZ_fc7j7Y2h-zv_jLk34hUtpoN34Z5snz72hyphenhyphenwPbAijTvTG4kuelFLI18/s1600/park3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Sprinkle of Glitter Lifestyle " border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRofWUma8QHTuTO_jWYqdOvzXCJklFj1Jml2NwKWQi1K_sdS96aBKMUGwHwCk_B-mIk9_a1aBurdmTeN9uapwhZ_fc7j7Y2h-zv_jLk34hUtpoN34Z5snz72hyphenhyphenwPbAijTvTG4kuelFLI18/s640/park3.jpg" title="Sprinkle of Glitter Lifestyle " width="640" /></a></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/AVvXsEha8IEXgC6iBzq6W9LcbjsWJ8hypDEwfDuRFhZCjMtiakOh4qjioACpZnluIHJTP1go4jbWl5RqofY9mq5jyBpwpsZhijmDDU8-GjLUuaOipd5yGoNwL5UASVhBDPzgye3opynY717Q_51m/s1600/park5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Sprinkle of Glitter Lifestyle " border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha8IEXgC6iBzq6W9LcbjsWJ8hypDEwfDuRFhZCjMtiakOh4qjioACpZnluIHJTP1go4jbWl5RqofY9mq5jyBpwpsZhijmDDU8-GjLUuaOipd5yGoNwL5UASVhBDPzgye3opynY717Q_51m/s640/park5.jpg" title="Sprinkle of Glitter Lifestyle " width="484" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>A little bit obsessed with this pleated emerald maxi skirt.</i></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/AVvXsEjtsnk-pQF3k4WdXX3cMNX6I8m1_EX4gvyHrRyYeboUGyF3HmY7UUQ27b9RQvtkr9nCgrhR2CIQ63Y5ZFcPiMIX-jH_gW7hIVPMktOMjuZliV7AjbETH-wZCvbMuPYMAPHT-h_hzB5xlC4C/s1600/park6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Sprinkle of Glitter Lifestyle " border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtsnk-pQF3k4WdXX3cMNX6I8m1_EX4gvyHrRyYeboUGyF3HmY7UUQ27b9RQvtkr9nCgrhR2CIQ63Y5ZFcPiMIX-jH_gW7hIVPMktOMjuZliV7AjbETH-wZCvbMuPYMAPHT-h_hzB5xlC4C/s640/park6.jpg" title="Sprinkle of Glitter Lifestyle " width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>I love this shot because it has Ben (my new little step brother, who I'll properly introduce one day) and Norman (the nicest, most interesting man from our church EVER) in it.

Days when you're close to your nest, feel loved and valued by the people you share it with and feel content with your lot. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">For the first time in a long time I feel like our family is working. My Dad has a new girlfriend who has 2 children and is like a breath of fresh air. She values family and fun above appearances and protocol and I feel like her ethos has spread to us all and we are all really enjoying life. In an ideal world my Dad would have found her right after my Mum passed away, but alas, we has 20 years of bleaugh to make us so much more thankful for what we have now. I'm so glad that hers and Darcy's arrival coincided too.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">From a not-normally-into-Summer person, I'm enjoying this season far more than I should.

<div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">We have discussed it before but I am plus size. Fat, chubby, cuddly, bigger boned, call it what you like, the fact of the matter is I am a size 18 and feel relatively alright about this. As that lovable rouge Honey Boo Boo (google her) would say, 'I'm size CUTE' hahaha.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Lately I have been buying, wearing and LOVING midi length clothes. I find them to be so flattering and so comfortable (no worrying about thigh cellulite showing for me!) and also I find that I feel quite confident in them in a, 'I don't need to show off all my flesh to be sexy or attractive' way. </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/AVvXsEj68qf-83SAqLtUoOUGwKR1rFt6kLcFdi8kp7qrRS-MDdFSaHQ_xd6Ao7uH1yulnk-3DNN7ho9IeBFHQcKdUQyqsZRTL9TRtBRIsqse7WS1qHuTLYB-L44UxmqRSAJCPV9huuLWzIhXzM5A/s1600/Midi+OOTD.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Plus Size Midi Dress" border="0" height="524" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj68qf-83SAqLtUoOUGwKR1rFt6kLcFdi8kp7qrRS-MDdFSaHQ_xd6Ao7uH1yulnk-3DNN7ho9IeBFHQcKdUQyqsZRTL9TRtBRIsqse7WS1qHuTLYB-L44UxmqRSAJCPV9huuLWzIhXzM5A/s640/Midi+OOTD.jpg" title="Plus Size Midi Dress" width="640" /></a></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/AVvXsEht2WyAvWAle37aWaGoXsdeIYvsAzSg8sAOU4FnMYYPod_nNypmqWSg7wXH9iVMENltYo4TGU7BtoFshMd30_LD3DYrYRYPW-jS2X1Od42XeNdZA1b48YmqpCqmevIyGQqDqOHWmsCSctfp/s1600/midi00td2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Plus Size Midi Dress" border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht2WyAvWAle37aWaGoXsdeIYvsAzSg8sAOU4FnMYYPod_nNypmqWSg7wXH9iVMENltYo4TGU7BtoFshMd30_LD3DYrYRYPW-jS2X1Od42XeNdZA1b48YmqpCqmevIyGQqDqOHWmsCSctfp/s640/midi00td2.jpg" title="Plus Size Midi Dress" width="640" /></a></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/AVvXsEji7_SaqcDNUVgy0uIPd8Sn7QDzYgT43FBlCJ01H_GzNssrj4gnCNu2Fj-G6-rJ4z9d3U4znHCljUkHfKTOCS8VeSFFhvBEPhZSS_N4JmHwljMzOHnZsUOwXMhuHPDcvJfCXwNIaS9IqlqD/s1600/midiootd3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Plus Size Midi Dress" border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji7_SaqcDNUVgy0uIPd8Sn7QDzYgT43FBlCJ01H_GzNssrj4gnCNu2Fj-G6-rJ4z9d3U4znHCljUkHfKTOCS8VeSFFhvBEPhZSS_N4JmHwljMzOHnZsUOwXMhuHPDcvJfCXwNIaS9IqlqD/s640/midiootd3.jpg" title="Plus Size Midi Dress" width="640" /></a></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/AVvXsEgZ5kmADz_5I8ysBc_r410JSPjxBitRxlTAq17mIFskhAGETAleSZl9mmiXbwoURosdEbSPq4dL3IzvXOtfH-8LPZT_U9sD2YzP5FHIeIjlztRpg-ZOREl8Zza74GKjQvV3jVIEMGouiFlE/s1600/midiootd4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Plus Size Midi Dress" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ5kmADz_5I8ysBc_r410JSPjxBitRxlTAq17mIFskhAGETAleSZl9mmiXbwoURosdEbSPq4dL3IzvXOtfH-8LPZT_U9sD2YzP5FHIeIjlztRpg-ZOREl8Zza74GKjQvV3jVIEMGouiFlE/s640/midiootd4.jpg" title="Plus Size Midi Dress" width="560" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Navy Jersey Midi Dress - ASOS</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Denim 3/4 Sleeves Jacket - Primark (last season)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Red Bow Belt - Primark</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Gold Bobble Necklace - Accessorize</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Coral Heels (Also worn HERE) - Newlook</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I don't know about you but I find that I make so much more effort with my outfits in the Summer.

I'm all for leaving your blog as your signature if you have written a proper, relative comment because it enables me (and others) to find you and you're being part of the community, but please don't just spam and go. It leaves a very bad taste and only reflects poorly on you.

text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This last picture was taken slightly spur of the moment whilst I was wearing the bronzing powder. I had applied it about 6 hours prior and as you can see on my cheekbone, it is still going strong. As you can see from my jawbone however, my foundation wasn't! I know this isn't your classic 'beauty shot' but I'm hoping you'll all think, 'Oh how lovely to see the makeup in it's natural on-the-go form', haha. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So, onto the product. Let's all just stop a moment and rejoice in how b-e-a-utiful it is. When I have this compact in my handbag, I feel like such a lady. It's mature, sophisticated and luxurious, just like me -<i>raise eyebrows here</i>. Also, rather conveniently the palette is complete with a good sized mirror. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Retailing at £34 per compact (handy link <a href="http://www.johnlewis.com/guerlain-terracotta-light-sheer-bronzing-powder/p320885?colour=02%20Blondes#tabinfo-ratings" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a>), this is definitely a high end item. With five different shades of tan ranging from dark to coral and luminous pearly particles, this powder leaves a gorgeous subtle bronzed effect with a hint of highlight. There are no glitter flecks, nor are you left orange, it is just a super classic bronzing powder. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">If you were to use a light hand I think you could blend this all over your face to set your foundation and add a slight glow, but I prefer to concentrate it on my cheek bones to give a bit of a tanned flush. I love the pigmentation of this powder (not so crazy that you run the risk of looking muddy, but not so faint that you have to spend years with your brush) and I find it blends easily into my liquid or gel foundation and works well with other powders.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">All round I am so positive about this sheer bronzing powder. It is an absolute pleasure to have in my makeup bag and I look forward to making the most of it this Summer. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">What about you? Have you tried this product before? Would you spend £34 on a bronzing powder if it was really lovely? I'm always so interested to hear your thoughts on luxury beauty products!</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; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: start;"><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;"><br /></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: start;"><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; text-align: start;"><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; text-align: start;"></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: start;"></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: start;"></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: start;"></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: start;"></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: start;"><div style="text-align: center;">xx</div><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;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">This month my Ultimate Advertiser is <a href="http://www.thelifeofbon.com/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">The Life of Bon</a></span><a href="http://kittenishbehaviour.com/store/index.php?route=common/home" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945; font-size: xx-small; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">.</a><span style="font-size: xx-small;"> If you would like to find out more about advertising on this blog, click </span><a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/p/sponsor.html" style="color: #6c0945; font-size: xx-small; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">HERE</a><span style="font-size: xx-small;">.</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>

Motivational Monday #16

<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;">Merry Monday! Don't be sad that the weekend has gone, be joyful that you are privileged enough to see a new week and achieve your goals.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Please feel free to pin today's image. </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/AVvXsEgzEmabPOp0WwLrmhV8mJ6JMVUp4_4WiZJJ_QvUh-Due142CF6dvM5owWV9yqKkp1bTTNa4lUE4JO-aqKs1hfUFticOsgo5WyH_UCh0WXzqCBM13NyQidqdadWMKXecvGr_6HEnP65A_mNn/s1600/CITTOAJ.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Comparison is the thief of all joy | Motivational Monday | Sprinkle of Glitter" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzEmabPOp0WwLrmhV8mJ6JMVUp4_4WiZJJ_QvUh-Due142CF6dvM5owWV9yqKkp1bTTNa4lUE4JO-aqKs1hfUFticOsgo5WyH_UCh0WXzqCBM13NyQidqdadWMKXecvGr_6HEnP65A_mNn/s640/CITTOAJ.jpg" title="Comparison is the thief of all joy | Motivational Monday | Sprinkle of Glitter" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This quote by Theodore Roosevelt is brilliant and something that all too often I need to remind myself of. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I think it's kind of obvious what it is saying but the jist is- if you compare what you have to people who have more (or less), you're not going to love your own stuff the most and will be less happy for it. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I am a sucker for this. You could give me the most amazing bag ever and I would be giddy with glee, then see someone with a slightly better bag and feel like mine is rubbish. Honestly, it's terrible how easily I compare myself to other people, other success, other everything. It leaves me feeling unsatisfied, unmotivated and unworthy. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Recently I have stepped back a bit from all this comparison crap (sorry for my potty mouth there) and taken stock. I focused on what really matters (which we discussed last week) and I can't tell you how much better I feel for it. I am happy with my lot. I have enough. I am fulfilled. I am fine. Knowing these things makes me feel good. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">It goes without saying that nobody has everything. Your friend might have a beautiful house worthy of several pinterest boards, but she might be lonely. You might have an amazing partner and fabulous friends but live in a (what you think to be) crumby little flat. Both of you are comparing lives and neither of you are happy with what you already have. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Next time you find yourself doing this behaviour, think to yourself, 'What do I have? What do I love about my life?', and I bet you'll find it's a lot. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Stop comparing yourself to other people, it feels really rubbish. Alternatively, if you are looking at people and thinking, 'Ha! I've got better xyz than her! Hahaha!', that's no good either. Those kinds of smug or gloaty feelings are false positives. They might feel good for a few minutes but they are stemmed out of spite and don't fulfil you. Just focus on your own stuff and be glad of it. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Yes, today has been a bit preachy. If anything I'm preaching to myself who is in much need of learning this lesson this week! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Do you struggle with this too? What are you glad of in your life?</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; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"><br /></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 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; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">This month my Ultimate Advertiser is <a href="http://www.thelifeofbon.com/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">The Life of Bon</a></span><a href="http://kittenishbehaviour.com/store/index.php?route=common/home" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6c0945; font-size: xx-small; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">.</a><span style="font-size: xx-small;"> If you would like to find out more about advertising on this blog, click </span><a href="http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/p/sponsor.html" style="color: #6c0945; font-size: xx-small; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">HERE</a><span style="font-size: xx-small;">.</span></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />

Happy Hour | Lychee Ripple

<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;">As a responsible (!) adult over the age of 18, I enjoy the odd tipple here and there. I have gone through my 'clubbing days' and am now finding myself with a more mature(ish) palette and looking for quality over quantity.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I have seen a few bloggers sharing some of their favourite cocktail recipes or even news ones they have whipped up in their kitchens and decided that this would be a lot of fun to do over at Sprinkle of Glitter.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>I want to make it VERY clear though that by running this feature I am not promoting drinking to excess and am keen to stress that these ideas are for those of you who are over the age of 18 in the UK or whatever the legal age to drink in your country is. I feel that since this blog has an older audience (compared to my YouTube channel which is slightly younger) that we can all cope. I'm not going to run this disclaimer every week but I felt it important to have it said. Please ensure you are not allergic to any of the ingredients used. Should you have any concerns about ingredients used, please consult your doctor as I am lacking in a medical degree and would be of no use to you.

A Most Marvellous Place To Shop

<br /><div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Last weekend Matt and I took out Darcy and some cash (not both from the cashpoint I hasten to add) and headed out to our local vintage superstore. I say 'superstore' but what I mean is- a big old brick warehouse sort of building that has been converted into a shop where individuals can rent out small areas of space to fill with all sorts of treasure and customers can purchase at a central till. Does that make sense?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">If you live in Northamptonshire, it's called 'Most Marvellous Place To Shop' and is situated on Abington Square opposite the Jaguar garage. Parking is limited so expect to park in the near by multistory.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We had only intended to buy some interesting glassware for a new blog feature I have coming up, but we couldn't help not explore every nook and cranny. Darcy thought she was in treasure land. Although I will say, a toddler in a room full of antique china can produce some pretty tense moments!</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/AVvXsEgiB6_WO-LD6ehmLaQ_ZJMrinFjwkFuuHuMgF3ppG57YUyLdxxEGLXnfwWijg2zMDchvehgPWoLmJHTH434HmgN79Zw8PYoXltSqwGOWQAhwHZNqAXqdUE7NpwA4ERbbwMvXxGlyOXJPbAF/s1600/mm5.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="A Most Marvellous Place To Shop | Sprinkle of Glitter" border="0" height="508" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiB6_WO-LD6ehmLaQ_ZJMrinFjwkFuuHuMgF3ppG57YUyLdxxEGLXnfwWijg2zMDchvehgPWoLmJHTH434HmgN79Zw8PYoXltSqwGOWQAhwHZNqAXqdUE7NpwA4ERbbwMvXxGlyOXJPbAF/s640/mm5.png" title="A Most Marvellous Place To Shop | Sprinkle of Glitter" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>Little hands finding little joys.</i></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/AVvXsEh5k-ty-XUTTr-WFSXCf6b7XGH-XAYH8N_6YxGwM2HpljQu3P4qtpILVMOgk1lFNMVJa5sqv34nhp31u-24VGl7m_Dg8N_69xZyJcc29wNIk8g4acxw8nhcrMkzW4_e6Ojj0st5ibzQO_hT/s1600/mm6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="A Most Marvellous Place To Shop | Sprinkle of Glitter" border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5k-ty-XUTTr-WFSXCf6b7XGH-XAYH8N_6YxGwM2HpljQu3P4qtpILVMOgk1lFNMVJa5sqv34nhp31u-24VGl7m_Dg8N_69xZyJcc29wNIk8g4acxw8nhcrMkzW4_e6Ojj0st5ibzQO_hT/s640/mm6.jpg" title="A Most Marvellous Place To Shop | Sprinkle of Glitter" width="640" /></a></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/AVvXsEjs_YbVPemMI0TvbfQkTBssm6C9rmbp6ZRKMevcIdAUA7OwS4NvYaqtBG7C2EulkyZ1MdSjc7x1mLQjyRtDay_9DKfpB200EBSy_iFASbQObd3A6NeXifWsW9KyKLmsGokF4btvS9fKzqZ_/s1600/mm8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="A Most Marvellous Place To Shop | Sprinkle of Glitter" border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs_YbVPemMI0TvbfQkTBssm6C9rmbp6ZRKMevcIdAUA7OwS4NvYaqtBG7C2EulkyZ1MdSjc7x1mLQjyRtDay_9DKfpB200EBSy_iFASbQObd3A6NeXifWsW9KyKLmsGokF4btvS9fKzqZ_/s640/mm8.jpg" title="A Most Marvellous Place To Shop | Sprinkle of Glitter" width="640" /></a></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/AVvXsEgJx15LEW3aWu7XWiS54joaWIaaGFhQaUzNdOhKXWKRwb2NMC8JLsN3LFjEa1167F9nCna8_pxmfmtIs5HsCipgEW8Ewd6GiaaTfnclr5PY9RdB41V0Wz0YzjKISYGJATss5EFIJxSou3N7/s1600/mm9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="A Most Marvellous Place To Shop | Sprinkle of Glitter" border="0" height="406" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJx15LEW3aWu7XWiS54joaWIaaGFhQaUzNdOhKXWKRwb2NMC8JLsN3LFjEa1167F9nCna8_pxmfmtIs5HsCipgEW8Ewd6GiaaTfnclr5PY9RdB41V0Wz0YzjKISYGJATss5EFIJxSou3N7/s640/mm9.jpg" title="A Most Marvellous Place To Shop | Sprinkle of Glitter" width="640" /></a></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/AVvXsEiqpoQ3zwTWsIr1iaJqya6rLJx5OgMgzf5Ii0RJcPvJQS6zRpPN03dLiXS49ry50I5uPluRvX30TlRCeYaYYwQkg3uw25cwMtOnqGb26GtD2zXoUS2S9x3B66D9q2aebuJgW1ifKygU76os/s1600/mm19.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="A Most Marvellous Place To Shop | Sprinkle of Glitter" border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqpoQ3zwTWsIr1iaJqya6rLJx5OgMgzf5Ii0RJcPvJQS6zRpPN03dLiXS49ry50I5uPluRvX30TlRCeYaYYwQkg3uw25cwMtOnqGb26GtD2zXoUS2S9x3B66D9q2aebuJgW1ifKygU76os/s640/mm19.jpg" title="A Most Marvellous Place To Shop | Sprinkle of Glitter" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>Despite Matt being hidden by a smudge and Darcy looking away, I LOVE this picture.

Darcy's Den

<div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I was going to save this for next week because I felt like I should do a beauty review but really, bronzer over baby? I don't think so! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Yesterday Darcy and I had nowhere to go and no intention of getting out of our pijamas so spent the day playing inside. Since her cot is downstairs at the moment and she's using my office as a place to sleep (she sleeps better in there because of the blackout curtains) there is a little unused nook in her bedroom. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">It was all very spur of the moment but we decided to build a cosy little den and read some books together. For the 'Mummy Mafia' out there, she was supervised every second of the game and fairy lights are obviously not something she usually has so close to her. </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/AVvXsEgmqi0xkuhi7fvHt0ADuUqNlByiDUXiwrimkk8ioK3d5F_x1Sh_LPKD2QyIq-cv-Xc_Y6-M__C2v9bzy0KqcSIwoNO-PXfYqAmwvnhg6mhirQk0rhiPXyQ5HaLpMjde259o7Sc4TLzXg5FY/s1600/Playhouse1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Baby Glitter Den" border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmqi0xkuhi7fvHt0ADuUqNlByiDUXiwrimkk8ioK3d5F_x1Sh_LPKD2QyIq-cv-Xc_Y6-M__C2v9bzy0KqcSIwoNO-PXfYqAmwvnhg6mhirQk0rhiPXyQ5HaLpMjde259o7Sc4TLzXg5FY/s640/Playhouse1.jpg" title="Baby Glitter Den" width="640" /></a></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/AVvXsEjZO039I2ciL8U_OT-u0j4O4cVDL4m-ohLzKi4sbMSmI_jo1Uqhyphenhyphenphm1ZeLDs4lg7qjqfN8VuYtXfayWQITZHCe2k7XtSzt9K-3x1QLxPKzpn3pbpjx3tK8jsRglLVteuap8Ub8qZCPfRAB/s1600/Playhouse2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Baby Glitter Den" border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZO039I2ciL8U_OT-u0j4O4cVDL4m-ohLzKi4sbMSmI_jo1Uqhyphenhyphenphm1ZeLDs4lg7qjqfN8VuYtXfayWQITZHCe2k7XtSzt9K-3x1QLxPKzpn3pbpjx3tK8jsRglLVteuap8Ub8qZCPfRAB/s640/Playhouse2.jpg" title="Baby Glitter Den" width="640" /></a></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/AVvXsEil8mhNHTvZc4X28GecDQWhxElo8TYjTa2m0h0Qk5AUdsvGgWzZOBJpLOnFxIAl4x6-Tw1A86-kjHlQuU8HhxUCgxde15a7W9YXFbD0ucMef6WIRg3H_-oOBEfItvld6Cau65xzU_JJ3R4F/s1600/Playhouse3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Baby Glitter Den" border="0" height="636" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil8mhNHTvZc4X28GecDQWhxElo8TYjTa2m0h0Qk5AUdsvGgWzZOBJpLOnFxIAl4x6-Tw1A86-kjHlQuU8HhxUCgxde15a7W9YXFbD0ucMef6WIRg3H_-oOBEfItvld6Cau65xzU_JJ3R4F/s640/Playhouse3.jpg" title="Baby Glitter Den" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>Pretending to be asleep, complete with tiny 'snore' noises. </i></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/AVvXsEgh0UYJredeBtrsqIli8OSYLwxPj-d-kGcZ2f-oO-yxfIOjqQaT8j0Hp-HUSsmIsdw_vovtcViG4DXlelc-GpCVUEnMhvYiUZlZkhdkufrjd3j0yzF10sZPQcaLoX8lZjYh3MdcZM_AkL0O/s1600/Playhouse7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Baby Glitter Den" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh0UYJredeBtrsqIli8OSYLwxPj-d-kGcZ2f-oO-yxfIOjqQaT8j0Hp-HUSsmIsdw_vovtcViG4DXlelc-GpCVUEnMhvYiUZlZkhdkufrjd3j0yzF10sZPQcaLoX8lZjYh3MdcZM_AkL0O/s640/Playhouse7.jpg" title="Baby Glitter Den" width="426" /></a></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/AVvXsEhzFNIKYiV9P8iGeqxRh0j8uxtl4ktQ6AfWYaiTxix_slPCdbozN70EIMNxR5_fpBn2oQR5mhheUvRKyl-edyFUcVbYwuAo1Y4_mIdzlxRxJ7JF1-wvOqUiaR4pa_UPgu_ZXqu04F8K7vIy/s1600/playhouse9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Baby Glitter Den" border="0" height="368" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzFNIKYiV9P8iGeqxRh0j8uxtl4ktQ6AfWYaiTxix_slPCdbozN70EIMNxR5_fpBn2oQR5mhheUvRKyl-edyFUcVbYwuAo1Y4_mIdzlxRxJ7JF1-wvOqUiaR4pa_UPgu_ZXqu04F8K7vIy/s640/playhouse9.jpg" title="Baby Glitter Den" 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 we did to make this was open up the clothes dryer, drape blankets on top, lay the giant duvet on the bottom and bejewel with ornaments rose lights and, most especially, my wedding veil. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have my veil displayed in Darcy's room so it was to hand and since she wasn't left alone at any point, I felt OK with it being part of playtime.

Amazing Advertisers || May 2013

<div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I know I say this every single month but seriously, how quickly has this month flown by?!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This is our monthly opportunity to learn a little bit more about the bloggers and small businesses who are advertising this month with Sprinkle of Glitter. We're a friendly bunch after all. </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/AVvXsEjH4HAcNGK-lzeaPHZfmqp4Tnh0mn8mrG37mII9mhqVAQQ_7-eynq1AlG0FrLGHmZAwVahcLvODQWgAL-5im_8dXiVB7ALJ4sJ7wze1V8Jp_ikV_wKB9TXwjA6zt5ItVU2MYvKthDj_CBaV/s1600/at2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Amazing Advertisers" border="0" height="442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH4HAcNGK-lzeaPHZfmqp4Tnh0mn8mrG37mII9mhqVAQQ_7-eynq1AlG0FrLGHmZAwVahcLvODQWgAL-5im_8dXiVB7ALJ4sJ7wze1V8Jp_ikV_wKB9TXwjA6zt5ItVU2MYvKthDj_CBaV/s640/at2.jpg" title="Amazing Advertisers" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.thelifeofbon.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Life Of Bon</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Bonnie is an American English Teacher married to a 'fine ginger'. Her posts are about her life and the journey she is taking through it. If you like posts that are lovely and long that you can just get sucked into and forget your own world for a few minutes, this is the place for you. Bonnie's writing is amazing and really enables you to feel connected to whatever she is talking about, even if it's tasteless hamburgers. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://brinkle/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Brinkle</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Arm candy anyone? Oh me oh my these bracelets are just lovely. Brinkle has advertised with me before and made me swoon over their mix of colours with metals so I should be used to the lovelies by now. All items are reasonably priced to hop on over and take your pick!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.daydreaminblue.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Daydream In Blue</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Tom is a little love. That is all. Haha, no I jest. Zoe and I are just on Skype talking about him and saying how much we love his blog and YouTube channel and how creative he is. His blog is what I would call 'lifestyle' (WOOP!) and his pictures are just beautiful. The layout, content, images and feel of this blog are just a feast for the eye and you'd be a fool not to go right on over and follow him. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flutterandsparkle.com/2013/04/usa-canadian-goodies-giveaway.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Flutter and Sparkles</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I have read Gemma's blog for as long as I can remember, since the beginning of my blogging life in 2009 so she is no stranger to me and hopefully not to you. Her blog is what I would call a 'classic' beauty blog, perfect for girlie girls who want to learn a little more about specific items but also those who are just enthusiastic about beauty, fashion and shopping! Gemma is currently hosting a very generous giveaway so do hop over and check that out. Be quick though because it closes this Sunday!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.missimogensmith.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Miss Imogen Smith</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I want to get lost in Imogen's blog. It is a beautifully laid out place to let your crafty, homey, feminine, creative heart run free and full to the brim of ideas and inspiration. In her 'about' section, Imogen talks of her love for Beatrix Potter and this just made me feel a little bit more in love. A girl who likes graphic design, bunnies, crafting and vintage- hello!!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://nailshairandme.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Nails, Hair & Me</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Emma has only recently come back to her blog after taking a few months off to pass her exams. She is now working in a local hair salon and blogging about her experiences. Although there are only a couple of posts to read, I can tell Emma is really girlie and has a great passion for all things beauty related.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></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;">If you're looking to learn more about a particular beauty topic (like how to deal with spots), then this is the blog for you. With factual, informative posts, you will come away feeling knowledgeable and confident in the topic you have read about. With subjects ranging from teeth to celebrity inspired tutorials and also a YouTube channel to check out, you should have plenty to keep you busy when you feel those beauty cravings pang! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://adventuresafterhours.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Adventures After Hours</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm cheating slightly here but really, Danny has summed this up himself better than I ever could- "<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 32px;">Adventures After Hours is a lifestyle blog focusing on menswear and more importantly approaching fashion and style with a positive attitude. I promote adventures, individualism, and seeking happiness through everything you do."</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 32px;"> </span>I love that. I always applaud people who tackle life with a positive attitude and love it when people, like Danny, want to share that with the world. This blog is well written, beautifully laid out and well worth a read, whatever your sex. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sophiejanethorne.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sophie Jane</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Sophie is already in my good books because she is taking part in my 30 Day Snap project- YAY! Sophie's posts are that perfect kind for when you just need a little escape or a quick mind break from work. They are short (but not without effort), punchy and too the point. She updates her blog regularly and with interesting topics that if you like this blog, you will like hers. A really sweet slice of the net. x </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.bowsbanglesandbakes.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bows, Bangles and Bakes</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Jen has put all her thick cardigans away this month *she types as she watches the rain crash onto the window* because she loves to organise- Jen please will you come and do mine? Jen's blog is sticky. What I mean by this is that you'll read one post and then want to read another, and another and another. I particularly enjoy her OOTD's because they are clothes that I would wear and her Charity Shop Tips were really helpful too. Well worth a read. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.theamy-grace.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Amy Grace</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">First of all, Amy has a tattoo of a whisk on her foot and I think we'd all like to know more about that! Second of all, this blog is charming. Amy is 19 and lives in upsidedownland- Australia! There are blog posts about beauty products (complete with labelled swatches) and life experiences (my all time favourite I think). A lovely little read and the perfect blog to flick through on a tea break. Have a looksie. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></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 one of my long-time advertisers and I love having her. Her blog is about her life dealing with Pulmonery Hypertension and the trials and tribulations it brings her. From the months that I have been reading this blog I have learnt not to pity Stacie's suffering but to understand more about the condition, more about what it is like to have to attend so many hospitals and more about what it must feel like to be constantly waiting for organs. It is because of Stacie that I have decided to stop being a wimp about needles and give blood. Go read her and be inspired :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Tada!! Those are my ladies and gentlemen (very excited to have boys this month) of the sidebar, who help keep Sprinkle of Glitter running and provide me with plenty of reading material at 1am in the morning when I know I should be sleeping- dagnam them for writing such addictive blogs!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Have you found any new bloggers this month?
