Today, I travelled to the past


By C.Elizabeth


First of all, happy women day to all of you girls!

Not so long ago, I discovered a fantastic skin care brand which I immediately fell in love with. The packaging is fabulous and the quality is even better than I expected. It's "Soap & Glory". Have you ever tried it? I first was attracted by the packaging, which makes me wish I could travel back in time! So I first bought the hand cream and a body spray to see if it would live up to my expectations... and it did. Brilliantly so! So far I bought 2 body sprays (one is also hydrating), a peel off mask for the face, hand cream, body scrubs and a face wash.
There are still quite a few things I want to buy, such as bath foam, body butter and face cream. I'm a bit reluctant about the face cream because my skin is so sensitive... I'm afraid it would either break me out or dry me out. It's been the story of my life so far! Anyway, I will see...




Also, a couple of weeks ago, I finally found the jacket I've been looking for. It's just perfect! I like the color, the style... everything. I haven't really had the chance to wear it due to living in Britain! Cold, rainy... and damp! So I still pretty much so have to wear warmer winter jacket. Anyway, at least I will have it once the weather decides to improve! I probably shouldn't complain about the weather too much though since after talking to my family, I've been told that it's still snowing and pretty cold at home, in Canada. I do miss snow in a way... I find it so much better than rain! Maybe not all the time, but at least for a few months a year.





I've also been shopping with a friend last week and I found some lovely clothes at Zara. I don't usually shop much there because I never seem to find anything... Though, after seeing all the gorgeous stuff they have in there at the moment, I might go back pretty soon! Here's a picture of one cardigan I found... I simply couldn't leave it there! It's so cute and warm.

Romance


By C.Elizabeth



I haven't done much around here lately but I simply feel that it should be something natural that I do when I want to and not when I feel I have to... Though, to be honest, I've been thinking of writing something for over a week at least. I took some pictures last week and all but we keep having problems with our laptops. Yes, both of them at once! Looks like we'll have to get new ones soon!

Last week, we bought some aromatherapy bath salts from the Dead Sea at Boots and I absolutely love it. It has some jasmine oil white roses petals in. The smell is lovely and relaxing and it gives such a romantic look! I really recommend it.

Here it is:






Today Andy and I went for a walk out to get some pictures printed among other things. Though, the weather here being what it is, rainy and nippy, I had to take the pictures inside. I can't wait to actually be able to go out and enjoy a nice warm day. If there's such a thing in England! Here's what I wore:



Bow from Accessorize, white t-shirt from New Look, yellow top is an old one my mom gave me, black skirt and white tights from Simons (Canada), yellow shoes from Targets (USA).

On our way back, Andy spotted a very nice jacket... and knowing I've been looking for one for what seems to be ages, he showed it to me. I really loved it right away so after trying it on, I bought it! Can't believe I finally found one I like. I can be so fussy! The cut is perfect. I'll take pictures of it later and post them on here.
