Lady Bug Says ... The Birthday Post

Afternoon lovelies, hope everyone has had a good weekend!

I asked in my last post if people would be interested in a post about my birthday and the response was positive so here is a slightly belated birthday post!

My birthday was on Tuesday the 25th and the Mr and I took the day off work to have a day of fun. Unfortunately the horrible weather meant our plans were abit restricted but we still had a great day.

The day started off with flowers and breakfast in bed, I was certainly spoilt!

Then the Mr whisked me off to Dartmoor to escape the rain and have a yummy lunch in a gorgeous pub in front of the log fire.

Birthday steak lunch, those chips were the most amazing chips I have ever eaten! Could of eaten a whole mountain of them!

When then went off into Plymouth and did some shopping and headed home for a curry. Perfect lazy day spent with my favourite person!

I was lucky enough to receive some amazing gifts :) Definitely a very spoilt girl!

Cath Kidston shower gel & body cream, Dirty Works gift set & Lush goodies. As soon as the Mr's mum handed me my present I could smell that amazing Lush shop smell!

Obligatory Hello Kitty gifts :)

Pretty jewellery organiser & some cute decorative hearts

Kindle (yay have wanted one of these for so long!), Kindle cover & Sophie Kinsella book

A ticket to the Clothes Show Live & train tickets to get there! My little sister is the best and knows me so well!

Camera tripod (no more balancing my camera on books!), Alexa style bag and cosiest knitted snood

Thank you all for the birthday wishes!

Lady Bug Says ... Chocolate Overload!

Evening lovelies.

Now I am abit of a chocoholic. Desserts, chocolate bars, hot chocolate, ice cream, cake I'll take it all please! So when the lovely people at Montagne Jeunesse contacted me to see if I would like to review their new hot chocolate self heating face mask I jumped at the chance!

As soon as I opened the sachet I really had to resist the urge to taste it! It looks and smells EXACTLY like melted chocolate orange! Once applied it immediately starts to heat up, I was a little concerned as it got really hot really quickly but after about a minute the mask was just nicely warming!

I left the mask on for about 15 minutes and jumped into a Lush Ma Bar bubble bath, ultimate chocolate overload!

Once removed my skin felt all soft and warm :) The Mr commented that I smelt like a giant chocolate for hours afterwards! Plus I didn't break out the next day which I was slightly concerned might happen with such a sugary sweet mask.

I personally love these Montagne Jeunesse sachet face masks, you get to try lots of different scents/mask properties without committing to a whole bottle of the stuff! Their products are suitable for vegetarians, they always try to use natural ingredients where possible oh and a sachet is only £1.09 perfect for a girly treat!
