Get to know me tag: 21 Questions

Hey lovelies,

Today i'll do the tag where i answer 21 questions about myself.

I've seen this in quite a few blogs, and i thought it would be a nice idea to do this as well so you guys know more about me!

Here we go...

1. Are you named after anyone? I was told many years ago that my name was between two choices. They flipped a coin to decide what my name was... Anyway that was untrue. Found out last January when my late nanny was sick, that my name was because of one of her favourite Classical pieces Clair de Lune by Debussy. So means alot. 
2. When was the last time you cried? I don't usually show much emotion, that's just how i am. I think the last time i cried was at my nanny's funeral last year.
3. Do you have children? Yes i do. Two sons and expecting my first son with my new partner in August this year. 
4. If you were another person, would you be a friend of yourself? Possibly...
5. Do you use sarcasm a lot? Yes, i do. I think humor is important, you have to laugh daily, otherwise life becomes too serious. 
6. Will you ever bungee- jump? Absolutely not. I have a fear not only of heights, but of wacky things like bungee- jumping and skydiving etc... I have abseiled though, so that's me done haha.
7. What do you have for breakfast? Either a juice or a coffee, i do not eat any food until later on in the morning.
8. What's the first thing you notice about people? I try to work out their personality, to see what they are like before they speak. I'd like to think i get along with most people. I do not like stuck up brats, who think they are better than everyone else.
9. What is your eye colour? Grey/ green. They were blue as a child.
10. Scary movie or romantic ending? Honestly. Not fussed. I am not a big movie/ film fan, i prefer music. 
11. Favourite smells? A new car smell, American supermarkets ( its weird, i know) and coffee.
12. Summer or Winter? Autumn! It seems to be nicer the later into the year in the UK of late. August thru October is generally not too hot or too cold. 
13. Computer or TV? Hmmm, tough one. Computer for YouTube, blogging and online shopping and TV for E! - Do not judge me. LOL
14. What's the furthest you have ever been from home? California. Been so blessed to be able to travel to the USA as many times as i have. Very blessed.
15. Do you have any special talents? Ha, i have no idea. I would like to think i have, but i guess that's debatable!
16. Where were you born? Cambridgeshire, UK
17. What are your hobbies? Spending time with my children and family on a weekly basis, blogging, listening to music, interiors, cooking and motorbikes/ cars. 
18. Do you have any pets? Yes, one Jack Russell. His name is Rex.
19. Favourite movie/ film? Like i mentioned above, but i have a few which include- Romeo & Juliet, Titanic, and Se7en.
20. Do you have any siblings? Yes, one sister who turns 26 on Monday.
21. What do you want to be when you grow up? Well considering i am approaching the big 30 next September, i honestly do not have a clue. I just want to be happy like i am every single day that i am alive. Have a healthy and happy family. I wouldn't mind going back to college on a p/t basis to get my beauty back up to scratch. Who knows.

That's it!

Simples. 

Until next time

REVIEW: John Frieda Brilliant Brunette 'Visibly Brighter' In- Shower Lightening Treatment

I am never happy with my hair, and lets be honest there are not many of us ladies who are. 

I am literally itching to become a blonde again, Since this cannot be done due to a number of reasons, i thought i would give this a whirl.

I had seen the vlogger Nicole Guerriero give her personal review on this and was surprised when she had noticed the difference in her hair colour- so i thought, i want to try it too!

The product comes in a slim tube which comprises of 2 tubes put together, and once you've shampooed your hair and its completely wet you 'carefully' put the contents of this all throughout your hair. I would wisely suggest having a window open, as this smells!!

Partly my fault really, i should realise that it contains Hydrogen Peroxide.....Dingbat. 

After 5 minutes of the product working just rinse out, and condition if you wanted to. 

I would say that it has made my hair noticeably lighter which i am kind of impressed with. Worth the price. 

It does state not to use more than once a month.

Bye lovelies C xx

Hyundai i20 Coupe Review

So yesterday my Ibiza had to go back into the garage to be looked at regarding its electronics and audio.

So, therefor i had to have a loan car for a few days.

I was happily given the new Hyundai i20 Coupe!

I tell you, i was more than happy with it, - you could say, i like it alot more than my Seat.... so much so i do not want to hand this car back tomorrow night. Ooops.

Loving the rust colour too, and the accents throughout the cars interior.

My sons are extremely happy with mummy's 'new' car, and have also asked if we can keep it. The man approves to!

So will be a little sad to see this car go back, but that's life i guess...

Until next time.

New Skincare Review!

Hey guys, i thought i would do a review today on Soap & Glory's skincare must haves!

I was originally looking for a decent night cream, and possibly a facial oil initially, due to the fact i am reaching the age where i seriously need to get into a proper nighttime routine possibly leading to anti- ageing territory! Ahh!

I was previously doing my usual skincare routine, which was doing its thing, but i never really used a decent quality night cream, which my face was craving.

So i bought these...

Its the Wish Upon A Jar Peptide Rejuvenating Night Cream and Make Yourself Youthful Super Serum.

I didn't realise when i purchased these, that the came looking like this! Pretty expensive packaging if you ask me, and for the price its a bargain!!

So lets do the pros first....

1. Love the packaging- both super futuristic, love the chrome look on all their skincare lately 
2. Smells really nice too, almost a toffee like scent- not strong, on the serum, the night cream is almost citrus- like, so very nice all in all 
3. Good for the price- both were under the £20 price range bracket- i think these are still on a promotion (will leave link below)
4. I like that its quite a thick cream, not too heavy either, which can happen with night creams in my opinion. Also the serum is easy to use, its a pump too, so you only need a couple of pumps which i reckon will last a while too.
5. Left my skin looking brighter after a few days, especially when i first woke up (and trust me, i am not a pretty sight first thing in the morning)! 

Then the negatives...

The only thing i found was the  night cream, is a bit mean for sizing... its 45ml, which sounds alot, but its small, could be a bigger jar... The serum on the other hand is pretty decent, would last a while.

So really, not a bad deal, i probably would re buy in the future once these have run out, i am pretty obsessed with Soap & Glory, have been an avid fan for many long years.
