Shopaholic? Me?

My cousin has just got engaged. I am so excited for her. She must however be more excited with all the preparations. There is no better shopping than bridal shopping, except perhaps baby shopping. I must be careful or before she knows it I might take over all her shopping from her bridal shower invitationsto her wedding dress. I am sure she would want to strangle me as it is her prerogative. Maybe I can plan her hen night and grab some stuff from The Joke Shop.

Anyway, I wish them both the very best and may they have many happy years together.

I must say I am a sucker for personalised & monogrammed jewelry. You see, I have a rather uncommon name which means that I never find anything personalised. However, with jewelry they tend to personalise it for you, which in my eyes makes it special and it also means they can write my name.

Lauren Klein has a range of personalised jewelry and they are all sold at below the recommended retail price, so I think they are worth a look. I particularly like Rose Gold and Diamond Clover Monogram Necklace as pictured below and it is being sold at less than half the RRP!

Remember how I said that I would keep reviewing diet pills and supplements. I have just found out that you can lose weight using HCG. HCG is a hormone called Human Chorionic Gonadotropin. It is the horomone which is used to check if you are pregnant or not and is also used in fertility treatment. You can buy all sorts of extras like HCG mixing kits and injections.

It makes sense that it works, but I am not sure I would want to mess around with my hormones without some medical help. Now if you can get your GP to guide you with dieting with HCG then its worth a try… but do think seriously about it before going ahead without medical advice. Admittedly, there could be a point when you would try anything.. but if you can have a guiding light… take it!

My brother is studying dentistry and is at the point of doing a hard exam. Well I guess any exam in dentistry must be hard but this might be harder than most. I was thinking of getting him a present but was not sure what to get him. Although he probably has lab coats galore, he could possibly do with another. Alternatively I suppose I could get him a book voucher because I am sure that his books cost a small fortune. I suppose though, as it is a gift of encouragement, perhaps a music store voucher might make better sense. Mind you, when I was at uni, I use to party away the stresses of it all!!

Sometimes being pregnant can be a bit of a nightmare. I am sort of off shopping. You would think it would be a perfect excuse to shop, shop and shop. But no… I can barely be bothered to even get my maternity bag packed, let alone shop for the contents! I am feeling big and fat and none of my nice clothes fit!!

All I can think about is hoping that all the baby gift baskets that arrive will cover all my needs and hopefully they will contain some zyatonix, to help me fit back into my pre-pregnancy clothes!

Probably its just my hormones. I probably want to hit the shops tomorrow, just to get over these blues!!! C’est la vie!

I am in the process of decorating the cloakroom. So far I have added the basics like a toilet paper holder, towel rail, hand soap and a plant. I need to get some carpeting and perhaps a new towel (rather than my bog standard ones). I also need some smell fighting device. I was perhaps thinking of getting some candles rather than an air freshner. I thought the Village Candles  looked pretty and would do the trick. I would probably only light it when we have guests. I mean honestly speaking you don’t really care if you know no-one is entering your cloakroom after you, and if you do… well you could light them more regularly!

My hubby was on and on about golf. He said he wants to take it up and wants a golf set. He went on and on about mens drivers and tees!! At first I thought he was just losing it when he spoke of teas and drivers but then he spelt it out to me… he was talking about G-O-L-F! No wonder he lost me. I am probably the least sporty person I know!! LOL!! Now tea and drivers I could do with, shame about the credit crunch!!

I have come across these Benchmark rings which really caught my eye. They are made of tungsten but I am not sure I know much about tungsten. I did a search on wikipedia for Tungsten but really I was not enlightened. What I do know is that the prices are reasonable and the rings look chic. Bearing in mind that I am a yellow gold person, I think I will stick with yellow gold but if you are into silver or platinum, then tungsten could probably be an alternative choice!

A friend of mine has been suffering from shoulder pain. Someone suggested to her that she gets a shoulder pain pump. With my being an obvious shopaholic she turned to me to ask me where to buy one. I was stumped. I mean we are not talkin

Aren’t these love glass coaster wedding favors simply adorable? I think they make really great coasters with a touch of romance. I know they were intended as wedding favours and I know that they would not do for a male apartment, but if you are female (or a new couple) I think they could add a really nice and romantic touch to any apartment.
