Finally Finished.....



Woo Hoo!!! Finally it is finished :)

I started this kit a few weeks before my daughter was born, She is now nearly 8 months old!
As soon as she was born the poor kit got left in a cupboard :(
I fianlly picked it back up a few days ago & have finally managed to finish it.
The kit is called Vervaco- Lips, It is beautiful shades of Black, Grey & White & stitched on 14ct White Aida. All together i think it took me about 3 weeks to create.

I have to say im quite pleased with the turn out!!

What do you think?????

My Nails For Today.....



Here i am wearing CND- Girlie Pink, It is a beautiful dolly pink, I love the colour BUT not over keen on the application, It went on very streaky & took about 3 coats & you can still see some streaks in there :(

Nail polish for today... :)




This is my polish for today, OPI- PARLEZ-VOUZ. This is a really pretty Murky Purple colour, it looks very pretty on!

I was a little worried with the application as the 1st coat didnt go on very well, it was very streaky but after the 2nd coat it turned out well

Nail polish for today.....


This polish is CND -Plumville<>>

This polish went on really well, i was nicely surprised, i could have got away with only 1 coat but decided on 2 anyway as polish always chips fast on my nails (yes they are my own nails not falsies lol) people ask me all the time if i have false nails lol!


I bit,chewed & ravashed my nails for over 17 years, believe me they were a mess, i still remember my dad making me wear gloves in the house to try & stop me biting them lol!


Anyway back to the polish, it covers really well & the brush is just the right size for easy application, i can say i will be buying more of these.... I do really like them

Laser Eye Surgery.....

Ok this is something i feel alot about......

I had laser eye surgery 5 years ago with Ultralaze & i now have 20/20 vision Hooray!!!

I just wanted to right this blog as i know there are folk out there who are maybe considering it but are scared or worried, believe me i was one of them people, i was terrified! BUT it was the best thing i ever did.

It is scary as you have no clue exactly as to what they are going to do, its ok for them to try & tell you but its totally different when your laid on the bed with a huge machine over your head making very scary noises at you!

I have to say one major thing which is YOU DONT FEEL A THING!! IT IS TOTALLY PAINLESS.

The only part i found uncomfortable was the suction part as apparently i have small deep set eyes but like i say it was uncomfortable not painful. Plus they do offer you a sedative if you are very nervous!

ok once you have had the laser done, you will need sunglasses as your eyes will be very light sensative & i mean very, my experience was as soon as i walked outside into the daylight i couldnt even open my eyes so i really suggest you have someone go with you (i had my mum).
It doesnt last long but you need to wear sunglasses for 2 weeks if you are outside & glasses with non-prescription lenses for 2 weeks too to prevent dust going into your eyes while they heal.
Oh & one major thing NO MAKE-UP FOR 2 WEEKS!!! AARRGGGHH!!!! LOL!

The aftercare from ultralase was fantastic too, they were always on the other end of the phone if i needed them.

the day i had my treatment i came home & fell asleep (prob with all the worrying lol) i was woken up by my son coming in from school, i opened my eyes & could actually see his face so clear for the first time without the aid of glasses or contacts, i was so overwhelmed i cried!

This is just my experience, everyone is different & my advise is to ask all the questions you want & look into it all. my eyes cost £2500 but the way i see it i was buying new glasses every 2 years & contacts every months along with cleaning solutions so to me it was an investment!

I really hope this has helped some people, if anyone wants to ask me anything else about it then please leave me a comment :)
