Winning

Today is a good day. I won some stuff. I like winning.

Over at Ellie Loves... I've just won a Neutrogena Grapefruit pack and ages ago, back in the time of thesis, I won a gorgeous wooden initial from Kate's Irrelevant.

All I need is a coffee and a hug and my day will be complete.

What do you need for a winning day?

I'm A Winner

I WON!

Absolutely ages ago I entered a quick competition over at beaut.ie and then proceeded to completely forget all about it. So imagine my surprise to find a parcel waiting for me when I got home from college today.

Inside I found two scrummy eye shadows from the new Bourjois Pretty Paris range, Citron Givre and Tabac Blonde, as well as a So Laque nail polish in Tangerine Fatal. I can't wait to wear them to college tomorrow.

This day just couldn't get any better.

A Wonderful Gift

I got a present in the post!

The wonderful and talented Melissa Esplin of IS.LY sent me a gorgeous hand stitched notebook and a great magnetic bookmark from her Earth Day Giveaway.

Thank you so much, your gift brightened up a very sad week for me.

I'm afraid to write in the notebook though as it is so pretty, and I can't think of anything that I could write in it that would do it justice. Do you ever feel like that about pretty stationary? Melissa hoped that it would help me in my mission to keep everything organised.

I have pictures of the packaging and, Melissa, you have the most gorgeous hand writing!

Oh my gosh!

I won something nice... I never win stuff.

I checked my mail before heading home from college yesterday, I was having a really horrible day and I just wanted to go home and mope, and I found an email in my inbox from Melissa Esplin of IS.LY saying that I had won one of her Earth Day Giveaway prizes. Yea, I can't wait to see what arrives in the mail and I promise to put up a photo!
