Body scrub review - Soap and Glory: Sugar Crush Body Scrub part 2

Happy Saturday, visitors! Remember my Body scrub post last week? (you can read it here) I promised a follow up review on using it on dry skin before a shower, as in that post I had only tried it on wet skin. So here you go... starting with some dark dark pictures...
Ok so you may recall that on the whole I wasn't very impressed by this scrub when used in the shower, or on wet skin. On dry skin however it is excellent! A few thoughts, in the order they occurred to me:

Body scrub review - Soap and Glory: Sugar Crush Body Scrub

It's Sunday, which for a lot of us is pamper day, getting our bodies prepped and primed for the week ahead. 

It's been a while since I used a body scrub but I have quite a few on stand by so it's time I got to using them, and while I'm at it, reviewing them too!

Usually I exfoliate in the shower - quite easily done just by wearing an exfoliating mitt or 2 when when applying shower gel or soap. But my usual soap of choice, your usual Dove cream soap was all gone and I didn't feel my Philosophy Vanilla Birthday Cake shower gel was going to cut it, so I rummaged through my box of stand by goodies and this is what I found!

Chores (or general mega to do) List 2 - Sticky Note To-Do list v.2

It's Saturday again - which means chore time for me.

You may recall I said in my previous post on this (Chores (or general mega to do)  List 1 - Sticky Note To-Do list) that I said I had 2 options I had thought of. Well, let's forget counting because I find that as you try one option, depending on the success you have with it, you end up finding ways to improve the method.


As I have done below...

ASOS Wish List

Hello world!

It's 03 August  2013 and I thought to myself, I haven't been shopping since 01 July, which - trust me - is quite an achievement. And trust me, when I did go shopping last I went all out, so I really want to see how far I can go with this!

If I'm not shopping, I can still browse what's out there and, although I might not be able to bring anything home, I can share with the world.

Chores (or general mega to do) List 1 - Sticky Note To-Do list

My goodness what a disastrous mess my bedroom and bathroom have become! 

This is of course to be expected with a creative-shopper-hoarder type, which I admit to being. The peculiar thing is that I actually enjoy being organised and the sense of satisfaction that comes with a de-cluttered and thoroughly polished dwelling. A de-cluttered environment leads to a de-cluttered mind. 

Yet there is so much to do it's overwhelming - where to start! 

There are 2 options I've come up with and this is the first - probably great for the first time/one off stuff you need to do before you can actually make a regular structured way of doing things. Here's the how..

Social Media Tracking Insert (and best blog planner printables)

I've been a bit quiet for a while eh - I'm just nearing the end of m my third month at my new job and spent a month training my colleague while continuing with my normal role - so I've basically been trying to do a two person job and teach at the same time. I'm not complaining but I'm weary it's leaving me little time and energy for my hobbies including the blog!

Anyhoo,  I reckon it's pretty important, if you're going to commit to developing your social media, that you somehow track your progress. 

There are some amazing printables out there which I'll quickly share below, but these are all surplus to my needs. At the moment I just wanted to track my followers, my posts, my most popular posts. SO here is what I came up with, as an insert for my filofax:

(again, I'm printing in magenta as that's all the ink I have (we don't do much printing in this household and we're frugal with the ink and paper!))
