Amazing Grace

I bought this in the US from Sephora just before I headed back home to London (I know it was plenty of years ago, but I'm still rather heartbroken Sephora closed in London). I've always loved the Amazing Grace scent and have a tiny 'sample' bottle of it from one of the Sephora sampler Christmas packs.

They say the scent is soft feminine and floral (floral blossoms with a hint of light musk). To me the scent is soapy and clean - very feminine, but not specifically floral. Either way it's a delightful daytime scent.

I got the set, so it came with the body butter and shower gel, both of which I have yet to use. Philosophy bath products have not failed me yet though, so I doubt it will start with these.

Something I love about Philosophy is their packaging. They really hit the nail on the head. This specific set is made with Mother's Day in mind, and the packaging allows you the option of removing the generic photo and instead putting your own personalized picture inside. It's such a small detail - but they're the ones that always make the difference!

A little Obsessed?

So for as long as I can remember...or well, at least the past few months, I have been lusting after a Michael Kors Rose Gold watch. My dear parents finally took the hint and as a 'gift' for the start of university I adopted into my family my new baby - my Michael Kors watch.

Sometimes I touch it just to check it's reality...honestly though. My sister caught me a few times and started laughing.

Whirlwinds

The past few weeks has been a whirlwind and a half.
Since my last post, I flew half way round the world back from Singapore to the East Coast of America, and the home to London before going on a quick week long holiday to Tenerife with friends.
The whole thing was rather comical. I had a couple of energetic 'last minute' shopping days in America before packing up my whole life neatly into two suitcases, (one of which ironically burst open as it came through baggage claim) and flying home to London. I then went on the epitome of a classy British holiday in Tenerife, which then required two days to recover from my ailments of a week with almost sleep.
Next came Freshers. If anyone knows Universities Freshers in the UK, the KNOW nothing takes a higher priority than sleeping....and drinking...but mostly sleeping.
Now here we are.

So my goal is to get back into the swing of things. I'm sorry that I left you so long. My mind has been thinking up new ideas faster than my body can react to them.
