LIFESTYLE: 20 Years Of The Diet Coke Hunk

Monday, 16 June 2014


Today's post is in celebration of 20 years of the Diet Coke hunk and I was sent a couple of super cute tees and a couple of cans to celebrate with! They arrived the same day of my new converse (from Jones Bootmakers* would you believe) so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to wear them all together, look how well it all goes!! Anyway, in celebration, Diet Coke put a live vending machine up at The 02 with one of their hunks inside haha Customers had to flirt to get anything out of it lolol.

I was interested to post about this on my blog as I was at the 02 when it was happening, well, I think we had just missed the vending machine part though but we were definitely there that day as Katy Perry was playing!! Andrew and I have become a tad obsessed with Gaucho (which is opposite where this happened) and we hadn't tried the one at the 02 yet. When we arrived  there were definitely topless guys giving out cans of coke, but before I could get a closer look, Andrew dragged me away haha he was too excited for his steak!

LIFESTYLE: Fathers Day Gift Ideas

Friday, 13 June 2014

I wanted to do a fathers day gift guide because I think it's such a hard one. I had a few companies get in touch with their products which all make perfect gifts!


Firstly, Alcohol - preferably Whiskey, its such a dad drink and since my dad is a chauffeur, he hardly has a chance to drink so it's a nice treat when he has a night off! I was kindly sent eight Jim Beam minis in four different flavours which I'm sure my dad will love. Like me, he has a collection on bottles (in the garage), I've only just started collecting spirits but it seems to be addictive, I love all the different shapes haha only problem is I cant bear to open the!
Next idea was something I came across last week - London Designer Outlet which is a mall full of  outlet stores in the uk wembley to be precise. They have a Superdry store and even a Lindt one, so thats a great way to get some lovely bits for less than usual prices!

A travel razor is a useful give for and man! I'm sure will come it useful for any dad haha its very small and easliy charged via USB. Can be purchased from itsawot.com

Next I was contacted by a brand called Bluebeards Revenge who sell all sorts of shaving stuff with a skull and cross bones printed on it, kind of an apt name for the brand haha I like it!
This eau de toilette can be used as an aftershave or an all over body spray, I did open it for a cheeky smell and its very masculine, very smart and businesses- very manly haha I like the blue bottle too! It seems to last quite well too!
Another easy idea is a gift voucher! My dad always asked for a nice new iTunes voucher but you don't have to get one of those, there are clothes vouchers and even experience vouchers which is lovely! I have just come across my Ticketmaster voucher which gave me this idea, ( I might use my one to  go see Kylie while shes playing at The 02 - shes a childhood fave) but this or any voucher to be honest are always a good start for fathers day!

 
and lastly is a tee shirt brand that my dad has gone crazy over this past year - Weird Fish - so I was very pleased when they offered to send me a couple of tops for him for fathers day! He will be very excited with this. They have funny graphics, mostly of popular bands with their names somehow incorporating a fish haha see, that doesn't make sense, just look at the photo -  you will understand haha. Hopefully I picked two that he doesn't have yet!

LIFESTYLE: Stationary From Viking Direct

Thursday, 12 June 2014

When Viking Direct offered me £40 to pick whatever I liked from their site, I thought - should I be grown up and buy something that will be really useful - like a tripod for my camera, or should I spend my £40 on all the cool stationary that I always wanted to take home from school with me, yeah I was one of those kids, I love stationery, the packs of pens, biros, the cubes of rubbers and boring plain workbooks haha so of course I went for the latter and ended up with a 24 pack of fine liners, there are so many pretty colours! A do-to list note book, which has actually been pretty useful and a personalised stamp, I'm such a child, the chance to get my name and blog made into a cool stamp - duh of course I'm going for one of those, not sure what I'm going to stamp it on yet, but I'm sure its going to be really helpful when I run of out business cards haha. They also sell office kitchen supplies. I had to work hard to persuade myself not to just spend the whole lot on chocolate and peppermint tea bags haha.

Are You A Stationery Freak Too?

LIFESTYLE: Southern Comfort

Wednesday, 11 June 2014


Since winning my bottle of Southern Comfort at the cocktail class event, its been sitting in my room waiting to be drunk. Luckily for me, A few friends popped over on Sunday night and it was still so lovely out we decided it would be the perfect setting for a cheeky cocktail or two. We just went with the simple one that I had at the event because I loved it so much and there really wasn't much to it - Southern comfort, lime cordial and lemonade plus a lime wedge, classy I know and so simple haha.

If your any more adventourous than me then you should upload your recipe to their Go Drink Yourself campaign for the chance to win a mug that has been shaped just like your face!

LIFESTYLE: Mollys New Toys

Tuesday, 10 June 2014

Molly loves her toys! She is such an active and playful dog so I was super pleased to be contacted by Rakuten's Play.com who offered to send her some new ones! Cheeky, she's lucky I let her have them now - it's her birthday soon - Next month, she's going to be 2, which means even more new toys! My mum goes crazy and buys her at least 10-15 each time!! 
Her favourite of these 4 seems to be the chicken, I caught her fast asleep on the floor the other day with her arms wrapped around it, so cute!! But she changes her mind, the pig has been a solid favourite for months now, we had to buy them in bulk as she kept breaking them and then she was sad when they didn't oink haha.

If you have pets, check out their twitter as they are running competitions to win £50 hampers! They are doing it in categories and next up will be the small animals on 9th June! All you have to do it tweet them a picture with #ReasonsToShop
