Product Love.

Here are my top five products that I love;

1) Batiste Dry Shampoo.

I adore this product. It works brilliantly, replenishes your hair inbetween washes and at just £1.99 you just can't go wrong. The difference it instantly makes is clear to see. I particularly love this tutorial on how to apply it for maximum results. In the UK it's available from Superdrug and Boots, as well as some supermarkets. I would definately recommend it.

2) Simple Hydrating Light Moisturiser.

I've tried many different moisturisers, but this is the one that works the best for me, by far. It moisturises without being too heavy and doesn't have an overpowering scent and doesn't irritate my skin. It costs just £3.50 and although I've tried more expensive brands, they didn't work as well as this. It's perfect!

3) Revlon Eyelash Curlers.

I am a huge advocator of eyelash curlers. They can really make a difference to your look, compliment your eye make up and they make you seem a million times more awake! Always heat them up with a hairdryer beforehand though, it makes such a difference, and as I read the other day, you wouldn't straighten your hair without heating up your straighteners first, would you?

4) Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Conditioner.

I confess, I am slightly obsessed with Aussie products. I use these conditioning treatments religiously once a week and can immediately feel the difference. They come in plentiful sachets with more than enough for one treatment and at just 99p, they're definately an affordable indulgence.

5) Vaseline Lip & Aloe Vera Therapy.

There are many products out there for chapped lips, but this will always be the winner. It is essential in winter, it fixes chapped lips, revitalises skin and is a definate all rounder. At 99p, you really can't go wrong.

So, those are my top five products my darlings.. what about you?

Lots of love..

Quote Of The Week

“Things are going so well. We’re volleying words back and forth. Everything she says, I have something I can say back.  We’re sparking, and part of me just wants to sit back and watch. We’re clicking. Not because a part of me is fitting into a part of her.

But because our words are clicking to form sentences and our sentences are clicking into each other to form dialogue and our dialogue is clicking together to form this scene from this ongoing movie that’s as comfortable as it is unrehearsed.”

Weekly Goals.

Well, this week's gone very quickly! Hopefully next week will be more of the same!
Here's what I'm hoping to accomplish this week.

1) Get on top of all my writing.
Ah writing, such a lovely profession but it comes with such discipline and responsbility that I'm still getting my head around. This week is all about hard work, but it's worth it.

2) Get lots of sleep.
No going to bed at stupid o clock, no drinking coffee at midnight. Proper sleep, like a grown up. That is the plan.

3) Finish all the packing.
I'm in the process of moving house, and my goodness, I never realised quite how much 'stuff' I have acquired, I shall accomplish this though!

That's all for this week!
How about you? What are you hoping to achieve this week?

Let me know!

How To Be Fabulously Fierce.

Fierce Frosting is all about being fabulously fierce.

Being fierce is about having an attitude, standing up for your beliefs, being independant, knowing what the hell is going on in the world and most importantly the art of knowing your own unique brilliance without arrogance.

Being fabulous is about having etiquette and manners, looking and feeling gorgeous, baking delicious cupcakes and always following your passions.

So, here are my six commandments to be fabulously fierce;

1) Thou shalt indulge in long pamper sessions regularly.
Every fierce frosting must look good, of course, and the pampering process is just as important.

Run yourself a hot bath, bubbles compulsary. Use a hair conditioning mask, a face mask, and relax. Give yourself a manicure. Curl up with your favourite book and have an early night every once in a while.. lush!

2) Thou shalt make a list of at least five good things that have happen each week.
You may have seen a similar thing on Gala Darling's blog, where people contribute a list of things that they love, each Thursday. It's a scientific fact that this helps you to be happier, and hey, I aren't arguing with science!

3) Thou shalt kit out the underwear drawer with gorgeous garments.

Even if you are wearing a drab work uniform or just aren't feeling particularly irresistable that day, knowing you have gorgeous undergarments on will make you feel fabulous, even if you're the only one who knows!

4) Thou shalt always take power naps.
Fifteen minutes will suffice, it will leave you feeling ready to face the world again and bursting with energy. As any fiercely fabulous lady will tell you, looking tired is not a good look, darling.

5) Thou shalt understand the importance of clearing out their space.
You may only have a tiny bedroom to call your own, but you can still make it your own and make it right for you.

If you're a writer, make sure it's kitted out with beautiful stationery and everything you need.

Get rid of unneccesary clutter, surround yourself with things that inspire you.

6) Thou shalt always stand up for their beliefs.

Fierce Frosting can not emphasis enough the importance of this, ladies. Whether they're religious, politicial, moral or whatever else.. always stand up for what you believe in. Fiercely fabulous women must be strong and not afraid to stand up for your passions.

That's  all for now my darlings, part two to be continued!

Lots of love..

I'm Back!

Hello!

First and foremost, I apologise for my long overdue absence. My life has resemled something of a soap opera lately, but all is fine and dandy again now and blogging shall resume as normal!

Things I'm Loving This Week;

1) Getting organised for 2010.

From inspiration books, to stationery shopping and setting goals, my inner geek is having a lovely time! Haha!

2) Autumn.
Hot mugs of tea, delicious hot meals, gorgeous winter coats and mittens, snuggling up to a good book in front of the fire.. perfect!

3) The Time Travellers Wife.
I bought this book on Saturday and have not been able to put it down! I've been taking it everywhere with me. I never got around to seeing the film, but will deffo be watching it as soon as I finish the book!

4) Christmas.
Yes, to all you scrooges out there, I know there are a few weeks to go, but I can't help being excited! I adore christmas shopping, the christmas songs, the movies we've all seen a thousand times and of course the food! I. can. not. wait.

5) My beautiful doggy.
He's gigantic, takes up a lot of space and likes to steal oranges from the fruit bowl and play football with them, but I wouldn't have him any other way. He's is amazing.

That's all for now my lovelies!
Regular posting shall resume and I have lots of news coming up in the next few weeks!
