Happy Wednesday Chums!
We’re already half way through the week and officially into June *woo hoo* summer is right on our doorstep… if only the bizarre Northern Irish weather would act like it!! However as we’re into a whole new month it’s that time yet again where I share my monthly favourites – including an exciting little announcement 🙂
So curl up in your comfy chair, grab a cuppa & catch up with my latest chatter. Don’t forget, if you’ve posted a monthly favourites blog post or video feel free to pop the link in the comments below so we can all check it out! Otherwise do say a quick hello, it’s always a treat to catch up with you lovely lot…
*Don’t forget to check out the Confetti & Curves Giveaway by Clicking Here*
The lip scrub looks amazing! I bet it lasts forever too. I’ll be getting some at the weekend for sure 🙂 I get what you mean about the over powering smell though in Lush!

It is absolutely gorgeous – tastes divine, just can’t do the idea of skin with it lol lol But do invest in it, leaves your lips so soft 🙂 Yes the shop is a tad wiffy – in a good way of course lol Thanks for stopping by lovely XXXX

Hi Karen from Confetti and Curves!! Lush Bubblegum scrub is awesome! I got it before and wanted to eat the whole jar. Well, not the jar itself 😀 consuming your own dead skin is the new trend. The nail polish is so pretty. That’s good it didn’t chip. I see a side raid, ooooh pretty! Congratulations again on having 1000 followers Karen!!! Xoxoxo❤️

Thanks Karen I am doing all right. Was up early this morning and then fell back asleep lol. I’m glad to hear you’re doing well. 🙂 Well I only have access to the EOS Balms. I would love to get the Summer Fruit one. Hmm I just might have to pick it up next time I get out to the store. I would love to go out today but I’ve been having a hard time getting motivated this week lol. I have my Ipsy vs. Birchbox May Unboxing post up today. Yesterday was Tester Tuesday’s post. 🙂 *huge hugs* XXXXXXX

Awww poor you with the motivation, I know the health can really get tough but you can only do what your body can handle – if rest is needed then that’s the best thing for it huni.

Thank you so much Karen! I am feeling a bit better. I think your right, it’s because I’m back in Vegas away from friends and family. Getting through the next 4 months isn’t going to be easy.

My appointment did go well and I was glad that it didn’t take very long lol. XXXXXXX
