This is the last time I am going to talk about IMATS honest. Last year when I went to IMATS I was really starting to realise that my illness is degenerating & I was honestly doing less & less. I was scared to make things worse, I felt like it wasn't worth taking risks. Then I went to IMATS having planned for about six seconds (I decided to go 2 days before IMATS) & IMATS was amazing. It honest to goodness changed everything about the way I deal with being ill. Every risk I've taken, every event I've been to, every time I've left the house after 6pm...all of that can be attributed to IMATS. That first IMATS meant the world to me & every IMATS will be a confirmation that there are risks worth taking & that I have to live my life whilst I still can. So that's why I have not shut up about it.

Wow I am super late with this post, I managed to get it done in less than a month which is pretty good going considering how crappy I've been feeling lol.
Okay so about two weeks ago I got to go my very first blogger event - which was super cool - run by the lovely people at Crabtree & Evelyn for their 'Handy Tips' event.
The 'Handy Tips' event is based around the concept of passing down knowledge & beauty advise through the generations & generally about being part of a beauty community I guess. In each store they have like a huge cardboard tree & you can write a tip on a leaf which gets stuck to the tree and then you get £5 voucher & entry into some big prize draw for a family photography experience.

I can't believe I didn't post this yesterday...I had truly blissful day reading the latest Mercy Thompson book cover to cover. Then I was lying quietly trying not to breathe too much - cause I'd used up too much energy, far too quickly - & I guess I forgot. Totally worth it though! If I ever do a post about my favourite book series - which I think I might have to - you will find me waxing lyrically about the Mercy Thompson books...
Anyway, this is just a kind of oversized haul of all the totally random things I've been buying to fill up the very depleted spring wardrobe you have been hearing WAY too much about. Sorry about that. This is probably the last thing I have to say on the matter...
As always, the video is after the 'read more' link :)

Christmas Sales Haul
I'm not sure if I mentioned already but I have been taking full advantage of the sales & so I did a sale haul.
This video is an edited highlight of my sales shopping as I am sure to take advantage of the continuing price reductions (particularly as some of my clothes are so big now they are - honest to goodness - falling off me....it's marginally obscene...
Right, the video, that's after this post jump, I'm sick of clogging up my 'recommended posts' bar with thumbnail images that won't show up properly :)

I went on holiday to France... you may have noticed. I am writing a post about what it was like, my M.E. & how I coped so if you are the person who asked for that don't worry, it's coming soon. I just want it to be right. This is a french food haul & I kinda went crazy with food shopping.
Mind you I am watching that Directioners documentary right now, so crazy is feeling very subjective. I really want to give them all a hug, & maybe a little bit of a slap...
Anyway. This is my french food haul, & french drinks haul. If you'd seen my brother's haul you'd be awed by the amount that fits in my mum's tiny little Honda Jazz - those things are Tardis equivalent. Back to the point I am trying to make which is all about my haul. French food is iconic & really really good. I watch a lot of food network with being really really ill & having not that much to do with my life.... Food TV is insanely soothing. ANYWAY! Watching a lot of food network means I have seen a lot of barefoot contessa & so french food/ingredients subliminally become this big deal.
So when I got to France, french food was as exciting as french skincare which as a beauty nut is saying something.

So I went on holiday, you may have noticed. So I kind of went on a shopping spree, I was hoping to go to a Sephora - cause they have those in France & they don't in England so they are super exciting to me - but I didn't get the oppertunity to so I went French pharmacy skincare CRAZY.
You have to watch the video to see the extent to which I went crazy, but I got multiple of most things including not one, not two but...3 bottles of Serozinc. Yeah, I have a problem but I love France & if I get hooked on French skincare & then have to go there more often I will definately not be upset ^^
