Our cats Jodie & Scottie are huge fans of the Purrfect Box subscription and this months box they couldn't have been more excited for. I vlogged the arrival, the unboxing and their reaction to their August Purrfect box so If you would like to see that click here. This months box featured a great balance of treats, toys and practical products, like a collar and a clean ears lotion. They absolutely love the treats and with the toys they literally where acting as if Christmas came early so I'm sure they were over the moon with their box. 

The box contained a cat collar, a cat nip pillow, a fishing rod toy, a cleansing lotion for their ears or eyes, salmon treats and chicken treats! There are a few different fishing rod toys you could have received and as you can see from my pictures above we got the bumble bee catnip fishing rod toy which Scottie is obsessed with! He loves to chase things and the elegance of this butterfly toy is just the type of toy on a wire that he loves! It does feature a cute little bell on it also but that's only tied onto the wire and I do have to watch Scottie with that as I wouldn't want him to chew the wire and choke on the bell! But that's probably me being over careful! 

They obviously LOVE the treats and go crazy for the chicken and cod sandwiches, Our neighbours cat also loves the treats as I found out when I was calling out cats to the kitchen for some salmon bites, the neighbours cat had jumped in my kitchen window for some also.

Our cats are house cats so we don't have a use for the collar unfortunately but we have given this too our neighbours also as they have a new kitten who will be venturing outside soon so he will benefit greatly from this safe cat collar which features a bell also. 

Jodie doesn't look very happy in this photograph but i can assure you she was so pleased with her new catnip pillow and didn't want Scottie to play with it at all so she sat on it. She is so sassy and her face just expresses how possessive she can be over new toys. 

These photographs really make my cats look so grumpy but by the fact that Scottie was so quick to cuddle up in his new Purrfect box, I can tell they loved their new toys, treats and of course the cardboard box!

I'm super nosey so I LOVE a good 'Whats in my bag?' style post and realised that I hadn't yet done a post on whats in mine! I think that's partly because I've been wearing the same cute little cat handbag for the past year and it doesn't really fit anything other than a bank card, a lipstick, my keys and my vlogging camera so that wouldn't have been very interesting to see. But Ive just recently changed my handbag to this more practical sized Paul's Boutique Handbag and I have been quick to fill it with the usual blogging gal junk...

My Handbag is brand new to my collection and Its by Paul's Boutique. Its the Porter Grey Suede Slouchy Handbag* from The Hut and Its the perfect size for all my essentials and a few extras. I love the grey suede and can wear this handbag with most my outfits as I'm obsessed with grey at the moment. Its got a stunning polka dot interior with bright yellow zips and trims. Its so pretty and I'm really enjoying using this handbag as its much more of a luxury handbag to my old ones. 

What Pauls Boutique say...

-Luxury small slouchy style handheld handbag with twin handles in grey

-Black and pink detailing to trims and handles 

-Press stud closure 

-Navy and white polka dot interior lining

-Zip compartment and pockets to interior 

-NEW* Paul's Boutique gold branded beading to handles 

-NEW* Paul's Boutique black and gold branded logo to front 

My Blog Planner is a Filofax that my dad bought me when I started Uni 4 years ago. I totally forgot I had it until recently and as its such a nice leather FiloFax, I decided to replace the inside diary sheets with up to date calendars for 2015-2016 and make my own blogging planner. Its got pages for monthly plans, to do lists and new blog ideas. Im really proud of this planner as it did take me ages to create and then hole punch each page as the binder needed 6 holes when my hole punch only had two holes! The Struggle was real!

My Vlogging Camera is a Panasonic lumix Tz7. Craig bought me this camera back in 2009 I believe and It was my blogging camera until last october when for my birthday Craig bought me the Canon 700d! I still love my Lumix camera for vlogging as its just more compact than my DSLR, but its a little shaky and I could do with a new vlogging camera but at the moment its not a must! My Canon would fit in this handbag but I wouldn't be taking it around with me everyday. 

Dry Shampoo is super handy on the go! I very regularly do my hair and makeup in the car when Craig's Driving and most of the time Im in a mad rush so this Phil Smith Dry Shampoo is always my savour. It smells amazing and my hair feels so fresh when Ive used it. This is the revitalising one but they also do a volume one which is incredible also! 

Lipstick Case was a gift off my mum a few Christmas's ago and its such an awesome idea! It hold your favourite lipstick in it and also features a handy mirror so you can apply on the go. I currently have in my case the Rimmel Shake Up Pink which is my safe everyday lippie! 

Lip balm I always have on me as my lips are constantly cracked and chapped! I'm currently using the Nivea Essential Care Lip balm which is really nice and doesn't have a gross taste or smell as my Carmex one does! 

Sunglasses are essential in the summer, although the weather here has been shocking this year! I don't think we have had enough sun to call this summer a summer but hey! These Sunglasses are from The Glasses Shop and I have a full review of them here.

Tesco Shopping Lists are always in my bag as I'm so forgetful! This list is an old list from a groceries shop we did online and its so much easier walking around a store doing a full weeks groceries with a previous weeks list! You can clearly see what you need and hopefully not forget anything. Unless your list is a week that you didn't need to repurchase toilet roll and in which case it isn't on the list and therefore you forget it! Then that could be quite annoying but generally the list has all the basics and necessities. 

Beauty Store Cards never leave my bag as I always use them in Boots and Sally's. They are like loyalty cards so I can build up points on purchases and get exclusive pro discounts when I use them.

Money, I pay for most things on card so I very rarely have change on me but there is somehow always loose change floating around the bottom of my handbags. 

Receipts I really need to get into the habit of not hoarding receipts in my handbag! They are totally annoying and get in the way! I've always got receipts all scrunched up in my bags and my pockets hehe who doesn't?

Tweezers always come in handy on to go and these are my fav angled ones by QVS. They are so easy to use and just feel really sturdy. I always get such a good grip on hairs when I use these and that reminds me, my eyebrows been doing asap!

Mechanical Pencils I prefer to use mechanical as you don't need to sharpen them and I'm too scared to have pens rolling around in my handbag just in case they leak and ruin my lovely polka dot interior.

Juicy Fruits are the worst chewing gum in existence. They smell and taste amazing for 0.3 seconds and then they taste gross! They don't last very long at all but I just love the smell of them so they are always found in the bottom of my handbags. 

Hand Cream as I mentioned my lips are ALWAYS dry so are my hands and cuticles. I try not to pick my cuticles but its been a bad habit of mine for years and years so I do try and keep my hands hydrated and moisturised as much as I can. This one is by Leighton Denny and its a really lovely hand and nail cream! Perfect for after a manicure! 

Tissues don't really need explaining hehe its a tissue and its needed. 

So that was my first ever ' What's in my Handbag' post, I hope you enjoyed snooping around my handbag and let me now if you've done one of these posts, Id love to see it! 

Is anything in my handbag also in yours? Let me know in the comments below! I hope your all having a fantastic Sunday!

Skincare is a huge part of my everyday routine as I have normal/dry skin, I have to make sure I've got a nice moisturiser which doesn't brake me out but also hydrates my dry patches throughout the day! It's so hard to find a nice balance of products and I think with DHC's Resveratrol range I've found that healthy balance for my skin.

DHC skincare is the No.1 skincare brand from Japan.The Resveratrol range features a facial toner, a serum and a moisturiser. Resveratrol is a polyphenol antioxidant found in the skin of red grapes which helps fight visible signs of ageing. It's a super luxurious brand and the Resveratrol range is deeply hydrating and promotes smoother, younger looking skin. 

Resveratrol Toner Lotion is a really great toner for use after you've removed your makeup. I use it morning and night on a few cotton pads just before applying my serum and it makes my skin feel totally clean and fresh without drying out my skin. It's apparently great for boosting your skins natural moisture barrier and I can honestly say my skin has been less dry in patches since I've been using this toner.

Resveratrol Serum is so perfect! It's light and soaks into my skin really quickly! It doesn't leave my skin feeling tacky or greasy at all and my skin feels so hydrated once I've applied this serum! I'd not used a serum before but I'm a total convert now and love the formula! It also hasn't broken my skin out at all which I normally find when I change moisturisers or face creams.

Resveratrol Moisturising Cream is a very thick luxurious moisturising cream. It's super thick and I'm really enjoy using it before bed. It's way to heavy on my skin for day wear as it does feel a tad greasy around my eyes and that's one thing I can't stand a moisturiser feeling like under my makeup all day. Using it before bed is perfect though as my skin feels really soft and smooth when I wake up. 

I love the DHC Resveratrol skincare range and would love to repurchase it once these products run out. It's got more of a high end price point than any of my other skincare products but if they make my skin look and feel amazing then the price is worth it. 

Have you tried any DHC skincare products? Let me know in the comments if you have and if you haven't, let me know if this skincare range would be something youd try?

When Craig and I first spotted Beanies Coffee on the shelf at Tesco a couple of years ago, it went straight in our basket as it just looked like the perfect little jar of luxury coffee and it sure was!! The first flavour we tried was the Beanies Irish Cream Coffee as we don't drink alcohol but love the smell of traditional Irish Cream Coffees and the beanies coffee is alcohol free so we get the taste and the smell of a luxurious Irish Cream Coffee but without the alcohol! It was so perfect and a really nice coffee to snuggle up with on a cold winter night! We then tried the Cinder Toffee as Im a massive Toffee/ Caramel fan and this again blew us both away! The flavour in the Beanies coffee's are just phenomenal and if you haven't tried them then you need to as your 100% missing out on the BEST coffee of your life! 

I hadn't had a coffee for over 6 months so when this amazing Beanies Coffee Stash arrived last week, both Craig and I could wait to peel off the gold foil and take a sip of our first coffee in months. We went straight for the Chocolate Orange Flavour and its just incredible! This post is going to be a total rave review because there really isn't anything bad to say about Beanies, From their cute, modern and eye-catching packaging to their unique flavours, I can assure that you are going to LOVE Beanies Coffee  as much as we do!

I really don't know how they get so much flavour in to their coffee's with it still not being overpowering or sickly! But what I do know is they are all SUGAR FREE and ONLY 2 calories per cup so they are great for that sweet craving when dieting or if your a crazy coffee lady, you can enjoy cup after cup and your calories intake not be through the roof, you on the other hand may be through the roof on a coffee high but that's another story! 

We both love all of the flavours in our Beanies Coffee Stash, some more than others but with 9 flavours to try we have definitely found our favourites. My fav's would have to be Cinder Toffee and Mint Chocolate as both are completely different and they taste AMAZING!! Craigs favourites would be the Chocolate Orange as it tastes like a Terry's Chocolate orange has been melted into a perfect cup of coffee. He also loves the Ameretto Almond as its full of a sweet almond and marzipan flavour which smells divine! Thats only 4 of our Favourites from our 9 Flavour Stash Box, so once I've had chance to test some more of the flavours out, I will be sure to update you and feature them in favourites posts/videos.

I am absolutely loving the new Brow Parlour as its perfect and so compact! It features two brown shades a light and a dark shade. It also has a brow highlighter and a brow wax. The handy tin ALSO comes with tweezers and a mini spooley brow brush.I find that the lighter shade is a little too light for me, its probably aimed at blonde's and the darker shade is a little too warm and on the red side, so I mix them together with my brow brush and its the perfect shade. It doesn't make my eyebrows look too orange toned and it really compliments my red hair without looking as though I've got red brows. 


The Double Act box is a gorgeous Blush and Bronzer duo box. Its a really nice iridescent peachy pink shade with a warm tones glittery bronzer. I really like the blusher but personally I prefer bronzers which don't have any shimmer in them so the brozner for me is a little glittery but if you like that sort of bronzer then you'll love it! Its perfect for summer as its super shimmery and would be great to pop in your holiday makeup bag as its so compact and combines two products in one so saves space. 

Now I'm not normally a fan of lip glosses as I'm yet to find one that isn't super sticky! But this w7 Super Kiss Lipgloss is lovely! Its a lush coral shade and it smells amazing! It looks lovely with the double act box blush and bronzer as the shades really work well together! Its really pigmented also and it remind me of the Beauty UK glosses which are actually the only other glosses that I highly recommend for pigmentation and non-stickiness. 

Have you tried any of these w7 products? Whats your favourite w7 product from their range, let me know in the comments!

I Popped into Primark yesterday and picked up a few basic tee's, a sweatshirt and a hoodie so thought I would film a quick mini Primark Haul. I'm loving the quality of Primarks clothes at the moment as they are super soft and still really affordable! I need to go back in soon and pick up some new jeans and a few accessories so I will be sure to haul my next visit :)

I hope you all enjoyed this quick Primark haul? Have you picked anything up in Primark lately, let me know in the comments?
