MY WEEKEND IN PICTURES

Last week i was thinking of new and different ideas for this weeks coming blog posts and i had seen a few other people doing "my week in pictures". So i thought i would do something a little different to start off with and just do "my weekend in pictures". I didn't do lots and lots this weekend but i did document it...

Friday...

I spent most of the day just working on blog posts and catching up with things.

Friday evening was most definitely a pamper evening. I used my Neutrogena Wave power cleanser for the first time in a while and i must say i noticed almost straight away how much better my skin felt. I also used my holy grail face mask No7 purifying sauna mask.

As well as having a good facial pamper i also used the Sanctuary Spa salt scrub whilst in the shower, i love this body scrub it is so intense and effective. Afterwards i used the Sanctuary Spa body moisture spray. I love the relaxed feeling i get after using these products, i suppose with them being spa products you are supposed to feel that way haha!

Saturday...

My Saturday afternoon was spent here, watching the football. We played against AFC Wimbledon and won 1-0 YAY! (I should of taken a photo once the stands had filled up more but i forgot, my bad)!

Saturday evening i went out for drinks and some dinner to a place called Il Rosso which is an Italian restaurant/bar in my home town. I had chicken calzone with fries and it was so so good.

And of course if you go out for dinner, it's considered rude not to have dessert, right? I had hot chocolate fudge cake and lets just say i could hardly move afterwards, major food coma!

Sunday...

Sunday (yesterday) was Mother's Day in UK and Ireland. My chummy aka my mum got spoiled with presents from my two sisters and i. 

Sunday afternoon/evening i just spent watching movies, relaxing and not really doing much. I am obsessed with watching Frozen at the moment, so that was a must!

Hope you all had a lovely weekend, what did you get up to?

 

MOTHER'S DAY GIFT IDEAS

So with Mother's Day (UK) being just a little over a week away, that means there is still a time to get a special gift for all the lovely Mummy's out there. You don't have to spend heaps of money on an expensive gift to show someone how much you love them. Here is a few gift ideas you could surprise your Mum with this coming Mother's Day and still leave your bank balance undamaged...

I know i talk about The Body Shop all the time but they have some really amazing Gift Sets available in-store and they are only £15. This is such a great deal for full size products (body butter, shower gel and body spray), if you purchased the body butter on its own that would be £13 so for £2 extra you are getting two other items to make the perfect gift set.

 

At the moment The Body Shop have a great deal on their shower gels. This could make a perfect gift for your mum, they come in a wide range of different scents.

1 shower gel for £4.

2 shower gel for £6.

3 shower gel for £8.

4 shower gel for £10.

If you are unsure what to buy your mum on a tight budget but still want to get your mum a little something just to show her that you appreciate her, there is so many great gifts for £5 and under.

I saw this super cute floral mum cup whilst shopping, perfect for them special mums who love their cups of tea and coffee. Mum Cup - £2 Tesco.

What mum or person for that matter doesn't love being showered with chocolates. This doesn't mean you have to go out and spend £40 on an expensive box of chocolates, you can get great quality chocolates for much cheaper. Lindt Lindor Chocolates - £3.50 Tesco (Available in a variety of places).

I also had a look online at several other gift ideas you could get for this Mother's Day.

Already bought your mum a gift? I would love to know what you have bought.

Have an amazing weekend...
