Sparkly Sunday

Hi there lovelies,

I hope you're having a fabulous, sparkly day! 

1. Sparkly September

I can't believe we are nearly at the end of September. How fast has this month gone?
You may or may not have seen that I've been making September Sparkly and I've been posting quotes on my social media daily to help add a little sparkle to your day! If you've missed out so far you can find all the past quotes on my INSTAGRAM and you can read more in this previous BLOG post.

2. A Beautiful Mess - Broccoli & Cheddar Bake

Chris is a big fan of Broccoli & Stilton soup... nom, nom, nom! 
I found this recipe the other day, and I do like the sound of it... I've not tried to make it yet... maybe later this week!

3. Zoella Beauty

Zoella is no stranger to the beauty & blogging world and if you're a YouTube fan I'm sure you've watched many a Zoella video. Zoella's career keeps going from strength to strength and this last week saw her release her own beauty range which is available to purchase on Feel Unique. I'm personally loving the guinea pig makeup bag and I think I might just have to invest... What do you think, do you like it???

5. Liparazzi - Baby updates

I've been following Laura's blog "Liparazzi" now for sometime. I always enjoy reading about her beauty finds and during Laura's pregnancy I enjoyed reading about how her pregnancy was going. Now that she's had her little boy Conor she's doing regular baby updates on the blog which are fab! Definitely head on over to Liparazzi and have a little read...
