I've loved this blog since I discovered it last yeat and I like to think you will too. Laura's posts are beautifully written and allow you to loose yourself in her witty accounts of the life of a single gal in London. A brilliant lifestyle blog and a breath of fresh air.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><u>Beauty Butterfly Blog</u></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://beautybutterflyblog.blogspot.com/"><strong><span style="color: magenta;">Jade</span></strong></a> is another regular on Sprinkle of Glitter (gee wizz I must be doing something right haha!). Her beauty product reviews are brilliantly laid out, with clear subtitles, so if there is just one thing you are looking to find out, it's simple pimples.

Has Spring Sprung?

<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;">This morning as I brushed my teeth, I opened the bathroom window and heard something unfamiliar but oh so lovely- birdsong. For me, the first musical notes from my garden friends of the year are a mark of hope, of good things to come and at last, an end to grey dreariness. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I instantly wanted to do a 'spring' post and sat down with Lappie (who doesn't name their laptops?!) to have a bit of a mooch on weheartit for eye candy. Suddenly, I realised that this all felt a bit de ja vous. Hmmmm. After a little think, I realised I did something VERY similar last year in February! If you would like to read that post, <a href="http://www.sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.com/2011/02/come-on-spring.html"><span style="color: magenta;"><strong>HERE</strong></span></a> it is. Haha, it goes to show what a creature of habit I am. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Never one to miss out on the opportunity to create a new tradition, I typed "Spring" into weheartit.com and here are a selection of my favourites :</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="418273_297022013689065_115852655139336_932126_1806486001_n_large" class="img" height="480" src="http://data.whicdn.com/images/23123359/418273_297022013689065_115852655139336_932126_1806486001_n_large.jpg" width="640" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Tulips have been one of my favourite flowers since as long as I can remember. This picture reminds me of my Auntie Rose's garden which is always in full bloom.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Tumblr_lp1oi1s3ta1qacmz1o1_1280_large" class="img" height="426" src="http://data.whicdn.com/images/23100584/tumblr_lp1oi1s3ta1qacmz1o1_1280_large.jpg" width="640" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Although this is clearly not in England (there are no lorries swaying across two lanes and sports cars cutting anyone up), it makes me want a road trip with the windows wound down.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Tumblr_lxappxtazs1qep6eto1_500_large" class="img" height="424" src="http://data.whicdn.com/images/23022151/tumblr_lxappxTaZS1qep6eto1_500_large.jpg" width="640" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">With two of my girlie friends engaged this winter, weddings are on the horizon. As soon as the shops start stocking nice summer clothes, I'm going shopping!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Tumblr_lze17v3ags1qacmz1o1_r1_500_large" class="img" height="640" src="http://data.whicdn.com/images/23113772/tumblr_lze17v3AgS1qacmz1o1_r1_500_large.jpg" width="512" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">In our house, Spring is birthday season. Baby Glitter, Me, my Mum in heaven and some of my cousins all have April birthdays, so the anticipation of cake and parties is never far from our minds.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Are you full of the joys of Spring yet?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Toodlepip!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">xx</div>
