A Few of My Favourite Things - January

Here are a few of my favourite things in January.
A Few of My Favourite Things
TV - The Goldbergs I highly recommend binge watching this series about the 80's. It's like reliving your childhood if you were a teenager back then.  If you remember the big hair and bad fashion as well as the New Kids on the Block, Christian Slater and the Goonies this is for you.  The best thing is that this is based on the life of the producer and at the end of the show you are treated to an actual home video that relates to the episode you have just watched.  If you think the show isn't realistic then this will show you that some of this actually happened to him and his family in real life.  You really couldn't make this stuff up.

Charity Shops - why didn't I find out about these gems sooner. I have found some cracking bargains including a Fossil bag for £6, a Diesel bag for £3, some Gap ballet flats for 50p, a Bench jacket for £1 and a Weird Fish winter jacket for a mere £7, to name but a few. It's worth having a rummage around a charity shop now and again to see what bargains you can find.

TGI's - I love love love the food here my favourite are the ribs and Jack Daniels chicken strips, I can't get enough.  Make sure you use the reward app if you go regularly as I got £25 off my last meal because I had 200 Reward Points.

Books - I'm binge reading at the moment and have got a number of book series to read including the Jack Reacher series by Lee Child, Kathy Reichs Temperance Brennan books and Karin Slaughter books.  I have also finally got around to reading the Harry Potter books which I'm really enjoying. I love to find these books for 50p to £1 in charity shops, much cheaper than buying them brand new.

Pepsi Max Cherry - My new favourite drink.  I've struggled to find a sugar free drink I really like before but this drink has replaced my regular Pepsi.   I know it's still not healthy to drink Pepsi Max so I am trying to cut down on these as well.   For now I've stopped drinking regular Pepsi which I'm really pleased about.

I just stumbled upon the microphone app on my computer and for a lazy person like me this is a dream come true. I can just sit here and speak rather than typing, what's not to love. The downside of this is that I have honestly just spent 5 minutes swearing to see which swear words it will type up (not many) it made me giggle though #easilyamused. 

Costa Coffee Shop - I've just discovered this after being a Starbucks girl for years.  I loved the Christmas hot chocolate range as well as my favourite, the ham and cheese toastie which I can't get enough of.

 The Kitty Cafe - check out my review here if you love cats.

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
