A Few Of My Favourite Things in February

-
These are just a few of the things that I really enjoyed in February
Magnum PI
I remember the old series back in the 80s or 90s starring Tom Selleck and I liked that but I love this update starring Jay Hernandez. This remake is very funny and it's definitely one of those shows that I could binge watch if I had the opportunity to, but for now I'll just have to live with watching one episode per week.

Slimming World
I have finally come to the conclusion that I need help to lose some weight. I'm so busy and I'm not a great cook so Slimming World is great for me as there are loads of free foods and I can buy ready-made meals from Iceland which are really delicious and very reasonably priced. I won't call this a diet because I really don't feel like it is. I certainly don't feel like I am starving and I have plenty of choice of foods available to me. I have only been doing this for 2 weeks but I have already lost 6 pounds and I really feel like this is something that I will stick with and I can't wait to see the results. I'm going to post about my Slimming World journey as I go through it so I hope you will come back and have a read. 

Kissing Booth 2
Kissing Booth on Netflix is one of my guilty pleasures. I am way too old to be watching teen romcoms but this was really sweet and the two leads had a great chemistry so I was happy to hear that they're making a sequel and I can't wait to watch it.

Planning Holidays
Is there anything better than looking forward to the summer and planning your summer holidays. I've got a few things in mind but I have really enjoyed starting the planning stage and I will let you know when I have made some decisions.

Skechers
I live in Skechers.  These shoe, trainer, plimsolls whatever you want to call them are so comfy and they're so light, they're not clumpy or heavy and I pretty much live in them when I'm out of the house ,in fact so much so that I'm pretty much getting rid of all my other shoes on eBay at the moment. I usually buy from the Skechers outlet stores as they are very reasonably priced.

Ebay
Speaking of eBay I am having a real declutter at the moment and getting rid of all the hoards of stuff that I really don't need or will never use and it's great to be able to get some money back for my unused purchases on eBay. There are some downsides to eBay in that the buyer is more protected than the seller but overall it's a great way of selling your old stuff.   Although I wouldn't sell any really expensive stuff on eBay because I think it's too risky.

Listening to CDs in the Car 
I am also going through my massive CD collection at the moment as part of my decluttering journey and I'm really enjoying listening to some golden oldies in the car.   It's great to be able to go through them all and listen to the whole album before deciding whether it's something that I want to keep or whether I just need to download a couple of the songs from each.

Mystery Boxes
I got my first mystery box from Beautylish and I am really loving it. You can see what I got in my post here. I really hope that mystery boxes become as popular as beauty boxes and that loads more companies decide to do them because I really enjoy the surprise in getting really nice products that I wouldn't normally purchase for myself.

 These are a few of my favourite things this month.  What are your favourite things?

Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer Review - Bobbi Brown Dupe

-

**Reposted as the Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer is  currently reduced to £2.50 from £4.50. I picked up the Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer because it looked like it was a dupe for the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base. The Primark version costs £4.50 for 45ml and the Bobbi Brown Face Base costs £48.50 for 50ml, so there is quite a price difference.   I had always wanted to try out the Bobbi Brown product, so when I received a mini version in a gift with purchase goody bag I was really excited to try it out, but I have to say I was somewhat underwhelmed.  I have quite dry skin and the face base did not have as much slip as I was expecting, so it didn't feel smooth when I applied my foundation. For the price I was expecting to love it way more than I did. It does have a lovely lemon smell which I really enjoy, where as the Primark version doesn't really have a fragrance.  Overall, I actually preferred the Primark version as it is thicker and it ma

I have wanted to get an LED Mask for ages but with prices for some of them at over £400 I just haven't been able to pull the trigger and buy one yet. So when I saw the LED Light Mask in Primark for £15 I just had to try it out.  The Primark version targets 3 different skin concerns with 3 different types of light sources. Red Light - Use for Anti-Aging benefits by helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles Blue Light - Helps to remove acne causing bacteria and reduce skin  inflammation Yellow Light - Helps to improve rough skin, reduces appearance of wrinkles and skin redness To use you cleanse your face and apply soothing and hydrating products.  You can use with face cream, eye cream, facial mask, eye mask, essence, toner etc.  Press the button for 2 seconds to turn on and press again until the LED light that you want to use appears.  You then use it for 10-20 minutes.  It does advise that in case of sensitivity to use with your eyes closed.  After use switch

Aldi Lacura Vitabase Moisturising Primer Review - Bobbi Brown Dupe

-

I managed to get my hands on the newly released Lacura Vitabase Moisturising Primer from Aldi which is supposed to be a dupe of the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base. It costs £5.99 for 50ml whereas the Bobbi Brown product costs £48.50 for 50ml. That's a big difference especially at times like these when every penny counts. The big question - is it any good? I actually really enjoyed using this primer. I have dry skin and this thick creamy primer really suited my skin. It contains vitamin c, vitamin b, vitamin e, shea butter, sodium hyaluronate & geranium oil and I found it very hydrating on my skin and it provided a great base for my makeup. My makeup stayed on all day and didn't go patchy or dry. It also has a fresh grapefruit and geranium scent which is really refreshing, but don't worry its not an overpowering smell. If you have dry skin I really recommend this product. It looks like its only available in store, so be quick as I'm not sure how long it will
