Hooray for 2013!

I do understand that we're not even three weeks into January but so far I'm loving it! The snow has been amazing, and we are expected to get more, I sat my exam and (hopefully haven't failed, I have been bargain hunting and finally, I recieved my first graze box -which is the most exciting thing!
Firstly, as I am sure you all saw, I got lots of crafty things and to carry on with this, I have decided to start a button jar. I am very excited by this, and even though my mom owns more buttons than you can shake a stick at, I still felt I needed to go and buy my own, so here you area! They make me really happy, they're just so cuuute!

The much awaited 75% off at Boots happened this Wendesday! All of the christmas stock left over is discounted to 25% of the original price, so I got some absolute bargains! I bought these two, which are lovely. The left box 'Sew Cute' is a DIY brooch kit, which is lovely, and the right box is 'Heart Felt' which makes your own felt heart keyring, they are both adorable and were £1.50 each - Bargain!
I also bought this kit which I am madly in love with. I have never heard of 'House of Holland' before, but I think I will re-purchase their items again, definitely I think it's the rhyming words that I'm taken with, the make up bag says 'I look like a hag without the things in this bag', which amuses me every time I see it. Simple things, hey! It also has an eyeliner in it, which says 'Nothing finer than a liquid eyeliner' and the mirror says 'Don't hate me cos I'm beautiful'. The mixture of polka dots and the cute phrases are brilliant, although I haven't even used them yet!

There's not really a lot to be said about this; it's a 'real life' alarm clock and I have wanted it for ages. It was £3.50, an absolute bargain, I just couldn't leave it there. I can even forgive the fact it's Hello Kitty.

Again, I am very excited by these. I love having painted nails, I hate them when they're just left so I went into poundland last week and they had the nails foils in there for, you guessed it, £1! What a bargain. Considering I was spending £6 a time on foils, I thought I should give them a go, and they are amazing. I put them on on Monday evening and they're still perfect. I thought they were so cute I went to buy a few more packets - whooops.


Look how cute they are!Finally, I got my graze box in the post this week, and I would definitely rate them! I got my first graze box free, but I think I will carry on paying for them. They're scrumptious and healthy, you can't really go wrong and considering the first is free, I thought, why not?! It arrived on time despite the snow which impressed beyond belief and I had it for lunch today, it's so handy to take to college!

They were absolutely amazing, I really enjoyed them! The 'florentine' was the only one that I wouldn't have again, but purely because it is dark chocolate used and I don't like dark chocolate - which is my fault, oh dear. I would 100% recommend ordering a Graze Box, only if it's for the free one! If you do decide you want to try one, (which is free) the code to use is M2H13VN. This way you get a completely free graze box, and I get £1 off my next box (So I would greatly appreciate it if you all send off for one haha!) They're easy to cancel too, so there's no reason for you not to try one. Let me know what you get in yours!
