Life is beautiful because...of old and new friends

I went out for dinner with a few friends from school, I still can't believe that they have been in my life for over 11 years.  It seems like only yesterday that we were sitting in the front row (yes, we were that cool) of our tutor base getting to know each other.

It was wonderful seeing them, one of whom I hadn't seen in far too long.  there were also a couple of people that I hadn't met before and they were so lovely.  I love it when you meet new people and almost instantly click.  Its such fun getting to know new people and finding out that you had lots in common.  With one girl in particular it seemed bizarre that we hadn't crossed paths earlier considering the number of friends we share.

Overall a wonderful night, good food, good laughs and wonderful people.

Tuesday TAG - Introduction

I love TAG videos and posts.  I feel as if it help me know the person behind the camera/keyboard.  Soooo I will be doing TAG posts and telling you my answers on the first Tuesday of every month.  I would love you to all do them with me and let me know your answers or any TAG posts that you have seen that you would like me to do.

Life is beautiful because...of gossip

No, I don't  mean catty gossip or even the painfully addictive gossip of Perez Hilton.

I mean the kind where you sit at home with one of your best friends and have a giggle over the stupid things you have recently done (i.e. me answering the door to the postman forgetting that I had a hair mask on and so had a head wrapped in clingfilm.  Though in pure British fashion he didn't mention it or even seem shocked).

Its the kind of gossip you have when you are in  need of having a rant about boys, younger siblings or that bus driver who seems to make it his mission to make you late for everything.  Its harmless, its fun and it usually involves cups of tea and biscuits.

Life is beautiful because...of junk food

There is something about eating food that you shouldn't that is extremely satisfying.  I'm fairly sure if I was told I had to eat chocolate everyday I would quickly go off it.  Equally if lettuce was to be outlawed I'm sure a black market for would appear for icebergs and romaine hearts.

Today I indulged my need to be naughty and went with my sister to a certain drive through near us.  lets just say that we were 'lovin' it '.  So we sat like naughty children on the sofas giggling at the fact that even as adults it feels as if we are getting away with something.  Its that same feeling I used to get when I managed to dip my fingers into the cake batter without my mum noticing.

I like to think I am fairly healthy but sometimes it is lovely to just take a break from the media driven health consciousness and enjoy food.

Project Pan #4 - Naked Sea Minerals in the Buff Renewing Body Scrub

The 4th item on my project pan list will be the Naked Sea Minerals in the Buff Renewing Body Scrub.  this has been hanging around in the bathroom for a while now and it was starting to annoy me so I made it my mission to finish it off.  I am often very lazy and cannot be bothered with exfoliating my arms and legs but I am always amazed by the difference it can make.

I don't think you can get this anymore which is a shame as I really quite liked it.  I wouldn't say it was the best I had ever tried but it did its job and didn't leave me or the bath feeling oily.  I usually go for sugar scrubs so having a salt scrub was a nice change to the shower time routine.

Would I repurchase?  Yes I think I would if i saw it again.  Naked have really reasonable prices considering the fact that they are natural without all the nasties that we have been told to avoid.  It also makes me want to branch out from just their shower items and maybe experiment with their hair care.

What Naked items would you recommend?
