With my blog reaching its first year, I am feeling rather nostalgic. As I have mentioned before, my blog was set up to keep me positive during a possibly difficult time, and now I can't help but smile as I think back on all the lovely things I have done this year, and all the amazing people I have met. In the spirit of this, to celebrate my first ever Bloggerversary, I took a day out, to do lots of nice things. So why not take a look at what I got up to and don't forget to enter my Give-A-Way at the end. But first (in a sing song voice) Here are a few of my favourite things!

I have been obsessed with make up since I was a child. I remember watching my mother getting ready, putting on hers and looking a vision of beauty I could only hope I would grow up to be. Lipstick has always been my favourite, and when I got the next best thing a child could have, my very own lip balm, I felt I was on my way to growing into the beautiful, confident woman I so wanted to be. So when I was sent the Lypsyl Trio, all these heart warming memories came floating back to me and I felt the excitement of what it was like to take them first steps into the beauty world.
