Wearing Food as Jewellery? Yes Please!

I love my food, I mean who doesn't? Today, my dreams are coming true, because I am finally able to actually wear items of food as jewellery!! The whole concept is mind blowing yes, but it is also truly amazing and why hasn't someone thought of this before? AlphabetSuitcase is a business run by twins Lucy and Jen, they put their passion for jewellery into motion by creating unique pieces that allows us all to share their love of design.

Recently, they have started a subscription service and it is nothing like the typical ones that around this is a lot more different, current and new! The Knick Knack subscription boxes are a mystery to everyone and each month for only £20 you get sent various items of jewellery and accessories. Every month has a theme and this months is a Junk Food special (my favourite type of food!!!) so I was very excited to open it up and see what was inside.....SPOILER ALERT!

Ahhh, how cute is everything that you see! Starting a the back in the left hand corner we have an ice cream necklace which is perfect for wearing in the summer with a white top and really lifts that pastel trend! Then next to that we have like a keyring cake which honestly makes you want to eat it when you look at it, full of 'cream' and strawberries on top, what more do you want! Then there is a Lip gloss Whoopie Pie which smells divine, I find it baffling how things can smell like they look and this is exactly what this is! Towards the front there is a selection of hair grips that you can add into your hair for a little bit of something different, I think that the little hotdog is the cutest thing ever. Then the best thing I have ever seen - burger earrings - i mean can you get anything better? These make me really hungry looking at them but I won't them don't worry!! 

All the pieces are very quirky and different to anything I have in my wardrobe at the moment and think that wearing these will make me look a little bit more fun!

Rediscovered #1 - Sleek Rose Gold Blush

My name is Parie and I am always buying stuff instead of using what I have. Well no more amigos, I am determined to start using up the stuff I have and am pushing myself to finish them so then I have an excuse to buy new stuff. The first thing I am wanting to finish off and start to use again is this Sleek Rose Gold blush which I was obsessed with when I first got it and then pushed to the back of my draw.

Things to Do on a Night in..

Things to Do on a Night in..

If I ever had to make a choice between going out with friends or stay in and stay warm, I would choose the later. Why would you want to put lots of effort into putting on makeup,choosing an outfit, and getting ready for ages? When you can stay in your pj's, have a no makeup evening and stay cosy? Exactly! I thought I would share some of my favourite things to do on a night in and maybe give you all some inspiration to do something nice tonight...
Things to Do on a Night in..

1. Get some snacks together
All of this is really unhealthy, but why not just treat yourself??? Mini Eggs and Cookies are my favourite things to snack on, and both are really addictive/super yummy! And for drink hot chocolate is a must, if its not peanut hottie that I am drinking then it is M&M Hot Chocolate - it is like heaven in a cup.

2. Gather some magazines and nail polish
If you are having your gals around then by all means get some magazines together so you can read lots of gossip and news and also some spring/summer nail polishes to give yourselves manicures and pedicures - how cute!

3. Order Some Food
If you are planning to get everyone together for a while, then you will definitely need some food to eat. I love ordering pizza and Chinese - foods that are filling and fatty because they are 'comfort foods'. If you are also having a large group over then look out for vouchers, for example MyVoucherCodes always have restaurant deals on so you don't have to splash out lots on a meal!

4. Back-to-Back Boxsets
If there is one thing that is a necessity on a night in, that is watching back to back tv/movies, make yourself a list before hand and get them all ready so you don't have to wait for downloading ect. Some of my favourites are;
- Sex and the City
- Friends
-Mean Girls
-Confessions of a Shopaholic
-Anything from Disney is  MUST
-How to lose a guy in 10 Days
 -13 going on to 30
And there is so many more as well! 

There are so many more things you can do when you stay in as well, read this article to get a little bit more inspiration! There are so many things to do, what are your favourites things?


 

Is MAC Cinderella Worth it?

 MAC Cinderella

I am sure that you have all heard about the MAC Cinderella Collection, inspired by the new film that is out now the products are meant to be all girly, princessy and cute! I am such a huge fan of Cinderella and was waiting to get my hands on something from the collection, below is a little collage of everything that is available and even though some of the things are old things in new packaging and others are just pointless, I still wished to get my hands on something that I would use. Last friday it was released in the UK but online and sold out within seconds!! Gutted, is not even the word to describe how I felt.

Then my fairy godmother came along and my friend Aimee said that her dad would be able to get me some things I wanted on Friday when it was to be released into stores - and voilĂ ! He was an absolute superstar and managed to get me the lipsticks, I was debating for a really long time whether to get a lip gloss and a lipstick or even all four but at the end of the day I am a lipstick girl! There has been a lot of hype around the collection but also a lot of negativity and I completely understand where those people are coming from. Many of the things don't live up to what you would expect from a Disney Collaboration, I was expecting a lot more princessy things and a lot more choice as well The eye palette is a real let down, because the colours are already mac ones apart from the purple one in the bottom right hand corner

Packaging - The typical MAC bullet shapes with blue frosted packing and when you open it up the rim is a gold colour and very bring as well. Then the Cinderella logo is printed across the front. 

But all in all, I love the names of all the products! Like Stroke of Midnight and Glass Slipper- ADORABLE! The lipsticks are in the shades Royal Ball which is a pink nude and Free as a Butterfly which is a more brown toned nude and both are perfect for me as I am a lover of lipsticks that come in these shades.

I love when MAC come out with limited collections, and this is one that I just had to get my hands on and I am over the moon with these two shades and think if you are to buy anything from the collection definitely have a look at the lip products as they are perfect everyday colours.

You can buy in stores now, or online but everything is sold out here.

Are you going to be getting anything from the collection? Or are you really disappointed?
