R.I.P ROBIN WILLIAMS

Robin Williams has warmed our hearts, broadened our faces and drew tears to our eyes. Who knew such a humorous and vivacious character would leave us so soon. From his crazy, imaginative creation of Mork to the heart felt emotions of Sean Maguire in Good Will Hunting and the exuberant and camp character of The Birdcage, He lit up the screen in every move and gesture. I could write all night about Robin’s talents or who he was to the public and my own opinion or the slight sadness that his face always expressed but theres nothing I will say that one does not already know. This man was solid in his achievements and his movies will go on to entertain us for generations to come. He truly was one of the greats. He will be sadly missed.

PLANETARY – SHOOTING STAR – WATCH!

WOW! I totally want one of these – The Midnight Planétarium timepiece tracks the position of the six planets visible from Earth. Each of them are independently controlled for precise tracking at any given time and their true orbital speeds are represented. Aside from keeping you updated on planetary positioning, it also functions as a regular watch with the shooting star indicating the time in hours and minutes.

LOVING LIME GREEN!

Don’t know about ye but I am loving the colour lime green for summer. Heres a few things I found but it doesn’t compare to the hotness of the colour draped through some of the best magazine but it will give you inspiration to be brave with such a bold and bright colour this summer.

DIOR OPEN NEW STORE IN SWISH FRENCH ALPS

“It’s a winter garden hidden away in the heart of the Alps, a  captivating cocoon of twinkling silver and gold.” 

Sounds like a winters dream come true. Dior have led the way in couture since 1946 and are only growing and getting better. They have opened up yet another sore in the French Alps.

Personally I don’t think I will be privileged enough to pay it a visit any time soon but it looks absolutely stunning. Check out the link below.

MAD MEN MAKE-UP

As session 6 of Mad Men began last night I wanted to share these gorgeous retro designs by Estee laurder. This limited edition make up is a replica of 60s chic. I really love this compaq.

CUPCAKES

Check out this half eaten (I couldn’t resist) red velvet cupcake from London Soho’s Hummingbird Bakery. They make the most delicious cupcakes I have tried in a while and their coffee is great too! If you are in London town browsing around or splashing the cash, I suggest you pop in here for a pit stop and some much deserved R&R. It really is a fancy feast and the staff there are so nice. Do it. You know you want to 😉

FACIAL SCRUB

 

I have tried many facial scrubs but I went for the less likely last. After trying many high end exfoliators I found they just don’t do it for me with their micro beads and minimising pore promises. I never enjoyed using products with micro beads as you have to work 3 times as hard to exfoliate and they seem to just get lost or sucked into your skin. Not particularly enjoyable and give little result.

Looking for something cheap and temporary while I was on holiday I picked up St Ives. I found it to be just what I was looking for.

St Ives does exactly what it says on the tin. It has the old fashioned larger exfoliant beads, is 100% natural, smells great for the first time it really leaves my skin soft and smooth. This is a product that I will stick to. Its affordable and I love the fact that its 100% natural. You can buy it in any Boots, Superdrug, Tescos or anywhere what sell beauty regime products. A great buy.
