salt

(l'oreal)

tv ad's normally don't work on me, but i've been after a super-commercial salt spray forever and combining this fact with the beautiful barbara palvin totes got my attention this evening. i've had this one by label m until it ran out (like 8 months ago) and then just kind of hoped i could rely on the beach after that (i hate spending money on beauty stuff. literally pains me). anyway, the l'oreal matt & messy salt spray is a bargainous £3.56 compared to my previous £12.95 product. i think i might even do a beauty review on it - i'm that excited.

this shoot is banging. i've been in my black biker jackets for the last 3 years, and i've just acquired two more slightly different versions. for me, it is always such a winner.

ah, i apologise again. i'm rubbish at the moment - my posting is really bloody awful. anyway. i'm on instagram! with my shiny new iphone child i can now actually take pictures that don't make me die inside. if you want to follow me (for what i can only imagine are pictures of food, my dog and my beautiful friends), my username is katrina_bean. i'm a baby at this so i am sorry for my lack of knowledge but it will improve i'm sure. and i might actually get the hang of it. the mama and papa went to the lake district and brought back some (a lot) of herdy stuff, most notably the gingerbread herdy that you dunk in your tea. very nommy indeed. they recommend a 5-10 second dunk, i personally found the longer you dunked it - the better. it doesn't fall apart or anything, tis wonderful. looking forward to this weekend for various reasons, hope you all have a lovely weekend.
