I ♥ Focco

Look what I got in the post yesterday!

After spying Laura's post on the white faux Wang Rocco bag, I did a little google and fell in love with the gray original. This led to me purchasing this number from eBay.

After ordering it I was tempted by the black, and thought I had made a mistake, as the eBay pictures make the gray look a little tacky. One look inside the envelope and I knew I was wrong. It is a perfect wear with anything colour, It is neutral, but not a harsh boring grey as it has a hint of lilac.

I also love the lining, a classic brown, with cream detailing.

It looks a bit funny when you first take it out the bag, but it hangs lovely when it's filled with all the junk everyday essentials we carry around.

I adore this bag, and I want one in every colour!

Which is your favourite?

I joined a gym!

Today was my first session at the gym I recently joined. Now, I have never really been into sort and exercise, but I really want to get healthy this year. When a new gym opened right by me, I jumped at a chance to join up, and you know what, I loved it! I will try and keep this updated with my progress so I can monitor it and keep going.

The numbers:
Today I weigh 9st6, and have a BMI of 25.7. I'm only 5ft tall so I need to keep my weight down. Ideally below 9st to keep me happy. I did 30 mins of cardio exercise (10mins treadmill, 10mins bike, 10mins cross trainer) and I felt brilliant after it. Going back tomorrow to see if I can remember how to use all the machines.

While I have been waiting for the gym induction I have been going swimming. I am also going to start the Get Running couch to 5K program via the app I downloaded an age ago. Would love to be able to run some sort of decent distance as I never have before.

If you feel good on the inside, you look good on the outside.

ASOS: watching the sales!

I was browsing the ASOS sale last week and I had a strange need to purchase a watch, or 4! Here they are, my current obsession seems to be watches and jewellery. Hopefully this means more accessory purchases, and less clothing purchases as I really need to sort out my wardrobe situation!

I love the contrast between gold and silver on this watch. 

Seem a little obsessed with boyfriend watches.

I also want this in gold

I got the rose gold watch with the black face as well

 And this heart ring

I'm loving ASOS recently since I bout the years free next day delivery for £14.99!

What are you current obsessions?

P20 = -/+

After returning from my holiday with a distinct lack of tan, and trying to justify this to a work colleague (burn to easy, apply sun cream about 50 times a day), she mentioned me trying P20. I had never heard the name, but once she described the product, I think I have heard of it.

The idea of this product is basically, you apply it everywhere and it is supposed to last for 10 hours. This particular formulation is equivalent to spf20, however i know an spf10 version also exists. The reason this product is supposed to work so well is that it blocks 90% of the UVB rays (the ones that cause the burn).They also claim it is still 90% effective after water exposure, as it is extremely water resistant. It sounds a very interesting product, and there seems to be many a positive review floating around. 

My question is would you trust a suncream that you could apply once and leave all day? The idea is promising, no messy reapplications sounds like heaven. But, do I dare trust it?

I'm Back...

Got back from my holiday yesterday, had a brilliant time, the usual relaxing by the pool and a little exploring! We stayed in San Antonio Bay, and visited Formentera. The weather was gorgeous, and the food was delicious! So sad to be back, but I came home to a pile of packages, and a few purchases to make, so haul post very soon.
Where's your favourite holiday destination?

Kindle: Book A Week Challenge!

After my recent purchase of a Kindle (for my holiday next week), I have been inspired by Kelly, to read a book a week.

I also picked up this purple cover cheap from eBay

Last weeks book was The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner, by Stephanie Meyer. I loved this book, although it took me a while to get involved with the story, once I was sucked in by Bree I absolutely loved it. I wont say too much in case you are still to read it, but for a Twilight fan it is a must, but try to let go of any preconceptions based on your love for the Cullens. Bree is a brilliant character.

For those of you wondering what I think about the Kindle, as soon as I ordered it I regretted it, I decided I should have just waited and got the iPad 2 I had been lusting after. However, once the Kindle arrived, I was completely sold  on it. It is absolutely perfect, and I love the e-ink screen! I would recomend a Kindle to anyone, although I probably will still get my iPad.

The next book on my list is Water For Elephants, by Sara Gruen, notice a pattern here?

It's here...

10 days later, my Cleanse and polishing tool from sigma has arrived...

So far I am pretty impressed, with everything from the quality of the changeable heads, to the ease of use. Just pop the batteries in (2xAA) and your away!

The device has 2 speed settings, and also comes with three different brush heads, with more to come hopefully!

Having used it for just 3 days I am loving how soft my skin is feeling, and cant wait to see improvements in texture. The only thing that is worrying me so far is when I do the cheekbone areas, I can see the delicate skin in the eye area moving.

Also picked up Glamour, to get my Benefit freebies today
