Scuffity scuff

Today I went and grabbed the girls some new shoes before we headed to the park for the day,  because Issy's new sandals I bought from eBay her toes are hanging right off the ends and both girls are in serious need of some summer shoes.

Issy chose hers and was really chuffed with them

so when we got to subway she got changed into them, then we headed to Wilkinsons (a few feet away)

while I nipped in to get us some more plant pots to decorate 

she stayed outside and played a small bit of football with Andy. I wasn't even gone for 5 minutes 

and I came out to a tiny scuff and the front of her shoe gaping away at me!!

Playing football in them really wasn't daddy's wisest choice but I'd have hoped that 

they could handle a small bit of football considering they are being worn by a child?

Issy is a super scuffer but never have they scuffed so quickly they literally had just over 5 minutes of wear :(

I still have the receipt and will be taking them back tomorrow to swap for another pair that hopefully can manage more than 5 minutes of wear.

Andy has said he will glue them but £7 and 5 minutes of wear at the most

really isn't that impressive at all.

We never did make it to the park as Daisie really isn't well at the moment.

The way she will hide her treats but never eat them, I'm forever finding stashes of everything she's collected!

Easter bucket list - Decorate plant pots

Today we got to tick another thing of our Easter to do list and got the paints out again to decorate some plant pots.

Such a cheap and fun thing to do my pots cost me £1.5O each for a 23cm pot from wilkinsons

I plan to go back and get a few in different sizes as the girls had so much fun painting them, Daisie is still to finish her's but we have plenty of time to add extras to it :)

I love how the girls were total opposites and Issy painted in brights while Daisie painted in pastels.

I plan on getting some more this size and doing hand print tulips on them but today 

I thought I'd let the girls go wild and do whatever they wished to do and it was a total hit Issy was asking could she finish Daisie's so next time I shall be grabbing extras.

What you will need

- plant pot

- paints

- paintbrush 

- some clothes you don't mind the kids getting messy in 

Have you been up to some super cheap crafts this Easter holiday?

Argan oil shampoo25Oml

I grabbed this beauty from my local poundland

It's on eBay ranging from £2.79 + £2.9O P&P to £3.99 with FREE P&P 

They also have the conditioner on there which I'm intrigued about and would love to give ago

but I'll keep my eyes peeled for it in poundland first

They had some other argan oil bits in too but I only grabbed this for now.

I can't stand the feel of oily stuff!! so even this was a hit and miss for me but you can barely notice that it has any oil in, it just feels like a normal everyday shampoo.

I used it the other day and I don't know if it's the placebo effect because I've seen/heard the name argan oil pop up all over the place or because it is really good?

I used it along with my normal shampoo and conditioner using this as the second lot of shampoo after my original one first, The stuff I'm using is a new one I'm trying from wilkos

and it usually leaves my hair feeling a little bit rough 

but with the argan oil shampoo used in between my hair feels really smooth and looks shiny.

You only need a small little amount for it to lather up, my hair is mid length and I only needed two little squeezes for my hair 

I'm definitely stocking up if they have any left on my next visit

Have you tried any argan oil products?

This or That - Tag

I spotted this tag over on laurecca while browsing bloglovin earlier on today and just had to take part.

Make-up

1. Blush or Bronzer –Blush! I'm far to pale to use bronzer

2. Lip gloss or lip stick – lipstick! I can't stand the fact everything sticks to lip gloss

3. Eyeliner or mascara – I love both but I wear mascara every time I wear make-up so I guess mascara

4. Foundation or concealer- I barely use concealer lately so Foundation it is
5. Natural or Coloured eyeshadow – Natural I'm not a eyeshadow wearer

6. Pressed or loose eyeshadow –Pressed

7. Brush or Sponge - Brush! a sponge just feels/seems like its absorbing and taking the foundation off rather then blending it in.

  Nails

1.Opi or China Glaze- I guess OPI, I only own OPI crackles but when it comes to this brand it depends on the colours in the nail shop.

2. Long or Short –If natural its short all the way, long actually makes me gag/feel sick but acrylic both

3. Acrylic or natural –Acrylic

4. Bright or dark-All depends on my mood/the weather

Body

1. Perfume or body splash - perfume

2. Lotion or Body Butter-I use either, I'm currently using a butter

3. Body wash or soap- body wash

4. Lush or Other -Lush all the way, I'll happily give other brands a go tho 

Fashion

1. Jeans or Sweat Pants - Jeans but if I could pull of sweat pants it's likely I'd wear those pretty often
2.Long sleeves or short sleeve? - depends on the weather for me and my mood

3. Dress or Skirt? - dress although I want to start wearing skirts more often but the way my hips stick out make me feel frumpy

4. Scarves or Hat - scarves, I own loads barely wear them but I own one fashion hat the rest of my hat are wooly bobble hats

5. Studs or dangling earrings - a bit of both again it depends on my mood or my outfit

6. Necklace or bracelet- necklaces! I have bracelets but end up taking them off because they irritate me

7. Heels or flats -Flats,flats, flats!!! If I could pull of heels I soo would but I don't feel comfortable wearing heels unless its a night out or out for dinner

8. Cowboy boots or riding boots - riding boots

9. Jackets or hoodies  - Jackets

3. Bobby pin or butterfly clips - bobby pin

4. Hairspray or gel - I don't use either but hairspray if and when I do

5. Long or short- Long only because when it's short all I want is long hair

6. Dark or light- I love either or I'm leaning towards dark's lately only because my roots are dark and it gives me more time to touch up my roots as they aren't so obvious

7. Side swept bangs or fully bangs -I love a full fringe but mine refuses to behave itself and stay full

8. Up or down - For convenience I chuck mine up a lot but I love my hair down but half way through the day I always end up putting it up

Random

1. Rain or shine- shine but I do love a snuggle on the sofa with the rain hitting the windows

2. Summer or winter- summer

3. Fall or spring- I love both, fall for the colours changes in the leaves etc but i adore spring to see all the beautiful coloured flowers open up

4. Chocolate or Vanilla- Vanilla for scent and taste, I hate everything chocolate flavoured other than chocolate itself

I tag anyone who wants to take part!  If you've already done it, leave a link in the comment I'd love to read your answers!

Summer Scents

Easter bucket list - Pasta necklaces

Please excuse the quality of photos my partner used my camera last night and decided to let me know the battery was low when I turned it on to a 'NO battery' alert :(

So the trusty phone camera had to do.

While preparing a home made macaroni cheese the other week it hit me that using the pasta to decorate and make necklaces/bracelets with would be a great cheap bit of fun.

So today we gave it ago out in the garden as the weather was nice and they could make as much mess as they liked.

I grabbed some penne pasta too while doing the food shop just to mix it up and have the option of two different shapes,feels,length etc.

We finally got to give our ELC paints and a go and the colours are soo gorgeous!

You'll need

- string

- paints

- glue (optional)

- glitter (optional)

- macaroni pasta 

- penne pasta

Do you have any cheap crafts planned for the Easter holidays?
