Beauty Bulletin: Very Berry Face Mask

Source

Hello there!

I can be pretty fussy about face masks, or at least my face is because it tends to start feeling prickly towards the end of the recommended leave-on time... But I just found a lovely moisturising mask from those masked magicians, Montagne Jeunesse. It smells delicious, bursting with blueberries and cranberries, giving this creamy mask a beautiful rose colour.

My face is a fan, not one itchy pore to be felt. Not only that but it feels smooth and refreshed and ready to face the world looking a lot less frazzled.

What's your favourite face mask?

Books I Love: The Hunger Games Trilogy

Source

Wow.

Oh my goodness.

I just finished this trilogy in about six weeks. I just couldn't put this stuff down!

I'd heard all the hype which had naturally completely put me off but then my friend insisted that I simply HAD to read the books. As I'd never heard my friend raving about a book before, I figured I should finally see what all the fuss was about. And I'm soooo glad I did :)

For those of you that have seen the film, the books are a whole world darker. There's so much twisted violence in these books that there's no way this will ever be accurately portrayed in the cinema - totally not suitable for children.

I would never spoil these for you but trust me, if you haven't already read these books, DO!

Thrifty Living: Bobble Bottle

Hello!

A little while ago I posted about water bottles and why it's important that you think about how you consume water. Last week, I made a step towards a healthier Hannah by investing in a Bobble water bottle.

Why, you ask? Well, these clever little bottles filter the water as you drink it! This is a very reassuring thing for anyone who has seen London tap water in a glass (bleurgh!). It only cost me £8.99 and the carbon filter works while you sip. All you have to do is replace the filter after every 300 drinks.

Worried that it's in a plastic bottle? Don't! It's free of all those nasty toxins so it's perfectly healthy.

Lovely clean water :)

Parents Were (Are) Awesome!


Ever been embarrassed by your parents? Maybe you think they don't even know the meaning of style? Well, you may be surprised to learn that parents were once cool too! 

Don't believe me? Well, I give you Exhibit A: My Parents Were Awesome. This blog proves that parents were actually quite stylish once upon a time. What looks vintage now looked great on them! 

I found this photo recently. It was taken at my parents' engagement party and my parents and grandparents look fantastic! My Nan and Grandad look particularly glam ;) This is most definitely one of my favourite photos ever and I'm looking forward to finding the perfect place for it in our flat :) 



Have you ever found any shockingly stylish photos of your parents?
