A Knickers & Nailpolish first - La Senza Underwear!!!

Afternoon lovelies, hope you well and Tuesday hasn't been too bad for you?


At the weekend I had to take back some items that I had been given for Xmas as they were the wrong size. One of the places that I had to head to was La Senza to swap some PJs.


La Senza have an exchange policy for items with a gift receipt so I found out how much I had to spend and then wandered round browsing the sale. 


And this is what I got!

I picked up this gorgeous ditsy print full bra and pant set which I thought was really cute! The bra should have been £20 and the pants £10 but they were both half price so I got them for £15 which was great, I might need to go back and pick up some more.


So there is it, the first ever appearance of Knickers on Knickers & Nailpolish and I love them!


Thanks for reading! xx

This Weeks Ups and Downs #1

Evening lovelies, hope your all doing well and enjoying your weekend.

I thought I would start a little thing where I recap my week based on the ups and downs of my week - very much inspired by Leanne over on http://www.leanne-marie.com/ where she recounts her highs and lows or the week.

Ups

• *      This week the Xmas holiday’s ended and we headed back to school. I always enjoy going back as I look forward to seeing my children and finding out what they have been up to – also our topic this half term is ‘Blood, Bones and Body Bits’ so its really gruesome and gorey!

• *      Next Saturday is my birthday and I am so excited for it! It feels like ages since I last had a birthday at a weekend and we have so much planned for that day, with my mum and sister coming down to me and we’re spending the day in London! Also the boy bought my present yesterday so it is now sitting wrapped up in the living room but I’m not allowed to peeky at it L
• 
  
• *      Over Christmas I have been loving my Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish and have finally got into a routine of cleaning my skin every day twice a day which is wonderful for me!
• 
  
• *      Yesterday I dyed my hair bright red again. I’ve had it red for some time but it had started to fade and my roots were screaming at everyone who dared to look at them. So I picked up a couple of boxes of dye is a brighter shade then my normal one and I am loving it! Will try and get a decent pic tomorrow!

Downs

• *      Although I love going back to school, I’m feeling very low about it. There have been a lot of changes recently and this has added a lot of pressure to everyone and it doesn’t often feel like we are getting any positive praise from our senior management. I’m sure things will settle soon but it’s tough at the moment.

• *      As well as feeling low at work, I have had someone comment on my blog in a negative way. They have been posting anonymously on my last 10 posts commenting on my posts, my writing style and one comment even went as far as commenting on my appearance and body size. I nearly deleted the blog this week but my wonder blogging family convinced me otherwise on twitter so I'm still here!

So there you have it, my ups and downs of the week – hopefully will get some more of these each week.

What have been your ups and downs of the week?

Better late then never...What I got for Christmas!!

Evening ladies, hope your well, this is my first post of the New Year so Happy New Year everyone! 


I've been lucky enough to have 3 Christmas days this year so it has taken a bit longer to get all my pictures together what with heading straight back to work yesterday! 


So here it is, I've thrown everything together to try and limit the pictures for you, so lets get going!

 Beauty bits: CK Shock Perfume set, Naked Pallette, Real Techniques Blending and Stippling Brushes, Daly Glamour face set, Benefit Project Flawless Kit, Lush Bath Bomb.

 Stocking surprises: Colour Works polish collection, Hint tabs, Gruffalo, Monkey Tissues, Pig Key Ring, Silly Putty, Penguin Rubbers, My gorgeous stocking from my boyfriend.

Smelly Stuff: Bayliss and Harding Foot Spa set, Baylis and Harding Bath Set x 2, Virgin Vie Bath Set.

Can't get the picture to turn for some reason :(

Books, Games and DVDs: James Corden Autobiography, Cars 2, Bridesmaids, Peter Kay Live, Just Dance 3.

I got so much stuff, I am really lucky, I also got a lot of chocolates from my class, but in the spirit of Christmas and to stop me living off it for weeks I gave it away to my local food banks for families less fortunate then me.


I have a few other bits that I haven't shown you are their are things like socks and mugs and there are few things I'm taking back as the sizing is all wrong but I love every single thing that I have been given!


I hope you had a great Christmas and got lots of lovely things as well, now need to write my Birthday list for next week!!
