Rooiboos and Leather - outfit post.

Hello!

This weather is making me so annoyed, I can't cope very well in rain and wind - I'm hoping the snow will come soon! 

To keep warm this 'outfit' (not an outfit just an outerwear-outfit) has been keeping me warm and snuggly walking around in the wind. However, it's an umberella graveyard out there so getting soggy has been top of my list. 

Coat - Great Plains*
Snood - a gift from Marta over at Glitter Detector 
Hair bow - Claires.
Gloves - H&M

Black Studded Handbag - Misstella*
Loving this bag right now, its black, (faux)leather and has gold studes all over it! It doesn't let water in and also is just the right size for all my needs. I am loving be able to hold it as a handbag aswell as a shoulder bag.

I just love the colour on this coat! I never normally steer away from blacks and navy's but I pushed the boat out and went for it and actually got a ton of compliments!

Since it's Valentines Day and all I think I will be having a LUSH bath, reading a book, sippign wine and having a take away!

Enjoy your weekend

Wonder Product: Primarks Super Cosy Leggings.

Today I want to share with you my new favorite item of clothing, it may not be glamorous but it is essential in this freezing weather! I hope everybody is keeping safe in the insane winds, it's actually so scary!

My new wonder product is the Primark 'Super Cosy' Leggings. They are actually branded as tights however they are footless, super thick and have the same outside feel as your normal leggings and they are basically the normal leggings but with a furry inside. I wear my leggings around the house to keep warm and also at work as I'm constantly moving and need something flexible and comfortable to wear. 

Primark Super Cosy Leggings - £6
Jumper Dress - H&M

I love them, they keep me so so warm! Have you tried these little geniuses yet?

Cardiff Tiger.

I'd never heard of Tiger stores before I saw them landing in St.Davids Center in Cardiff. As the *ahem* resident beauty and lifestyle blogger for St.Davids, I was excited to be given a little bag of treats from Tiger to try-out and give my opinion on!

Dead Sea Hand + Foot Cream - £4 each.
These are super light creams that rub in easily for some super soft skin! They aren't perfumed either and are packed with goodness.

Nail Polish - £1.

Its such a pretty colour! It's glittery but without actual chunky glitter in it (and we all know what a pain in the backside that is to get off!). Tiger also have a bunch of other make-up that I'm dying to have a go at!

Duck Head Mount - £4.
I had this on my bathroom door and loved it until this weekend where it met it's untimely demise and smashed into a thousand pieces after a over-zealous door shut :(

I also have a Dead Sea Black Mud Body Wrap that I cannot wait to try!

They also have this cuuuute washi tape that I'm dreaming of.

Had you heard of Tiger?

The Importance of Organ Donation.

This post is dedicated to one of my oldest, closest and dearest friends, Maxine.

I met Max when I was 16 and we instantly hit it off. When I was 18 we spent a whole Summer together where we formed our friendship fully and from there until I moved to Cardiff we spent every weekend together with mass amounts of partying and mischief.

I knew Max had a liver problem called 'PSC' which has alot of other 'side-effects' if you will making her ill often. I'm not even going to pretend I knew what it was or what it entailed. (you can find out more info on it HERE) up until recently. I won't go into detail but basically Maxine now is on the transplant waiting list for a new liver which will save her life and also change her whole life completely - this is how I learn't about the importance of donating really is.

Max now has her own blog where you can read all about her journey with PSC and the road to getting a new liver - Click Here To Read Maxine's Blog!

The info-graphic below explains about the facts and figures of organ donation and how important it is to sign up and save lives. I don't mean to sound preachy however if you would gladly take an organ to save your life then why would you not want to give back?

Please sign up!

To sign up to be an organ donor or find out more information about organ donation just CLICK HERE.

Also Maxines boyfriend Josh is running the London Marathon for PSC Support, the liver disease is poorly understood so all money raised will go into funding for more research and support for the disease - to donate just CLICK HERE :)

Hope you are having a great day!

Rainbows, Daisies, Unicorns - Oh My!

Hello! 

I hope you had a great weekend, I had a pretty relaxed one up in the Valleys keeping warm by the fire whilst the wind and rain pummeled South Wales.

The wonderful Punky Pins gang recently sent me some of their amazing handmade and personalised jewellery to waltz around in, and as a huge fan of them already I was SO pleased with their choices for me!

Of course Prince had to ruin my picture.
Here you can see the most perfect little Daisy necklace. I've been wearing it with everything! It is so dainty and sweet.

80's Unicorn Necklace.
This is pretty big but on a short chain so it definitely makes a statement.

'S' Initial Heart Ring
I'm a sucker for anything with my initial on and since the death of my Scrabble ring I've been on the hunt for a new initial ring and this is the one.

Do you love them too?! What other Punky Pins items do you like?
