Beauty, Bargains and Beyond

I picked up some really nice jewellery at Primark recently and they were all very reasonably priced as you would expect from Primark.  Here's what I purchased. Both sets of Rita Ora x Primark earrings cost £3.50 each for a gold and silver toned pair in each set. The chunky silver toned bracelet cost £3.50.  This set cost £3.50 for 8 silver toned bracelets. Finally, these silver toned earrings cost £2.50 each. All the products were made using a minimum of 50% recycled metal.   Leigh 💜 I purchased these product with my own money

I love browsing Esty and I have posted a few hauls on my blog here and  here as you all seem to love reading about them, so here is another one.  Walt Disney World in Florida is one of my favourite places and I am so sad that I haven't visited for over 4 years.  I was supposed to go back in 2020, but then Covid happened and 2 years later it looks like I might be able to visit my happy place again soon.  I wanted to get in the Disney spirit so I found some great t-shirts on Etsy which reference some of my favourite rides.  Technically the monorail isn't a ride as such but it is iconic and so is the Spanish translation of "Please stand clear of the doors" that you hear on every journey to the Magic Kingdom, so I had to buy this t-shirt.  Soaring in Epcot is one of my absolute favourite rides and "nice work pal" is said by Patrick the air steward in the pre-show. Another favourite ride of mine is Dinosaur in Animal Kingdom, and in the midst of a race against...

Hope you have all had a great Christmas.  I thought I would do a quick post on the Primark Jewellery Advent Calendars that I bought and blogged about here , to show you what was in them. This one was £10 (£5 in the sale during December).  It has 12 sets of earrings, 4 midi rings, 4 bracelets and 4 necklaces, with a number of them being matching sets. I thought this was a great alternative to a chocolate or beauty advent calendar and it was a great price.  I'll definitely be looking out of them next year. This one was £8 and was a 12 days of Christmas advent Calendar.  This has 4 pairs of earrings, 2 rings, 3 bracelets and 3 necklaces.  Again another great buy and I particularly loved this rings in the one. I thought both of these were a great buy and would definitely purchase a Primark Jewellery Advent Calendar next year if they sell them. What do you think of these Advent Calendars? Leighlee I bought these with my own m...

I have heard of Chocolate Advent Calendars and Beauty Advent Calendars, but this is the first time I have come across Jewellery Advent Calendars.  I was browsing around Primark recently when I spotted said Jewellery Advent Calendars and since I have not bought a Beauty Advent Calendar yet, I had to buy both Calendars that Primark sold. The Primark Jewellery Advent Calendar contains 12 pairs of stud earrings, 4 midi rings, 4 ditsy charm bracelets and 4 ditsy charm necklaces and it cost £10.  There is a card attached to the calendar which shows all the jewellery contained inside and it's all stuff that I would probably buy, especially the earrings.     The Primark 12 Days of Jewellery contains 4 pairs of stud earrings, 2 rings, 3 bracelets and 3 necklaces and costs £8.  There is a photo on the back of the box which shows you all the items contained inside the calendar. Primark also sell a Beauty Advent Calendar for £15, but I did not buy that o...

During my recent trip to London and Paris (see Paris post here ) I discovered a great store called & Other Stories.  As I was travelling, I only picked up some gorgeous pieces of jewellery, but I could have been tempted by the shoes and bags and some great clothes (and some great beauty items).  I feel this is a store that I will always visit when I am in London (or Paris).  There is only one store in the UK at the moment which is on Regent Street, but you can buy online here and there is a sale on at the moment. & Other Stories is a brand under the H&M group, but whereas H&M tends towards the casual, & Other Stories leans more toward stylish & chic. Here's what I bought (I will give the prices in GBP and EUR as some were bought in London and some in Paris - the Paris store is on Rue Saint-Honore which is not far from the Place de la Concorde at the bottom of the Champs Elysee). This silver and gold coloured ring was GBP12 (EUR15...
