Garnier Pure Active

I went today to try to get my hands on some of the garnier pure active range as I have read some of your blogs and tweets - and hey who couldn't be doing with eliminating some spots and blackheads!! Also I have just run out of moisturiser and figure I could give this one a go.

Well major fail. My local boots didn't have any of the pure active range at all. I tried Tesco and they just had the scrub! I hate living in a small town we are just so backward it takes forever for things to come into our shops!!

Ugg Boot Party

On Saturday night I went to a friend's apartment where she hosted an ugg boot party. She organised an ugg boot supplier to come and display her wares and you could try them on and then order what you wanted. The best part is that the boots and sandals were all half the price of what you pay in the shops! (& yes they are genuine and no they didn't fall off the back of a lorry!!)



Now anyone that followed my blog back in January when I was going to NY will know that my hubby told me I was too old for uggs and that I was not to buy a pair in the states!! Well in an act of defiance I did make a purchase on sat night, think the copious amount of wine may also of had something to do with it!!!



I opted for a pair of cardigan boots (knitted), I went for the cream colour as I fell instantly in love with them. They are totally impractical as I am the messiest person ever but I love white and cream and I will do my best to keep them clean!!! She also had some gorgeous ugg sandals and espidrilles but I limited myself to the boots! Just hope I wear them and that I don't chicken out for fear of looking stupid!



Here's a pic of them. I haven't actually gotten my own pair yet as delivery is 2 weeks so I will take a pic of them on me when they arrive!!

The party was great fun & something different and I have arranged for the girl to come down to my workplace in September/October to do her thang at lunchtime. (The host gets a further 10% discount).

Project "Buns of Steel"

It seems everyone is embarking on a "Project" of some sort - whether its not spending or using up 10 makeup items! Well I have started project buns of steel lol!!! No really, 3 weeks ago I hired a cross trainer from our local plant hire. I hired it for 6 weeks as it was 6 weeks then until our holidays! So I am halfway through my project and have gone from only being able to do about 5 mins at the lowest level to just completing 30 mins of high intensity fat burning!!
It really is amazing how quickly you can build up your fitness and stamina. Today I tried on a pair of seven jeans that I haven't worn in a while and I definately can see a big difference in my thigh and bum area! So this has totally inspired me to keep going. I am currently doing 30 mins about 5 times a week so I am going to up the ante for the next 3 weeks and hopefully when I jet off on holidays I will have my elusive BUNS OF STEEL......

Internet free zone!!

My phone and internet at home are down:( A telegraph pole opposite our house was knocked down and since then we've had no connection! It's funny how much you miss checking in on blogs and catching up on youtube videos. When it finally is reconnected I will have so much to catch up on.

I can access twitter on my phone but both youtube and blogger are blocked at work boooo!!! Anyway I'm sure I can live without it for another few days!!! Until then......
