I hope you've all been well, and keeping warm this cold winter (if you're The lovely people at Recreate Yourself (Ry.com.au) recently offered me the opportunity to try their website out. I was given the generous opportunity to pick something out and experience their service for myself.
With a generous array of skincare, haircare, perfumes and cosmetics on offer, it was no easy feat trying to decide what to pick, but I went with the Dolce & Gabbana The One EDP Perfume, which I'd always wanted, and the Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed in Opal, which has been on my wishlist for ages!
I picked out my items on a Wednesday, the dispatch email was sent out to me on the Thursday and I received my items the following Monday! I'd say 3 day shipping (business days, that is) for standard shipping to Victoria is really good! I also received two cute little freebies with my order, an ASAP cleansing gel sample and a mini nail file.
How are we all keeping now that winter is upon us? Luckily, the contents of my May Lust Have It are perfect for pampering my skin in the colder weather we're currently facing! I'm a little behind with my box reviews thanks to being away for so long and also because the boxes from Lust Have It got a little mixed up...they skipped the April box to get back on track.
I believe Lust Have It have done away with the pink mesh bag from previous months, as the contents now arrive in a cardboard sleeve wrapped with pink tissue paper. It's a bit of a shame as the pink mesh bags were quite cute, and very handy!
I've totally fallen in love with the M.A.C Limited Edition Collections...they never fail to suck me in with the beautiful new packaging, plus we all know what a weakness I have for those dreaded two words - LIMITED EDITION. I wouldn't say I ordinarily succumb to FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) but it does happen when it comes to makeup, because nothing says regret like that makeup you didn't buy, am I right?!
The new Wash & Dry Collection launched online in Australia last week, but many of the items sold out quite quickly. The good news, however, is that the collection launches in Australian stores today, the 1st of June, so there's still time to run in and get the items you're lusting over.
I was fortunate enough to be sent the lipstick in Steam Heat, a cherry red, and the Warm Wash eyeshadow palette, pictured below. Bear with me, this is going to be a very photo-heavy post as I love the packaging of this collection, it's so cheerfully bright and gorgeous!

A Service of Thanksgiving for the life of Eric Wilson Cunningham (1921-2004) was held in the The Parish Church of St John, Snods Edge , Shotley Bridge Consett, Co Durham on Friday 30th April 2004. The Ever Ready were in attendance and provided suitable music for the congregation prior to the service. A tribute was given to Eric by his close friend Ray Hutchinson.
Although Eric’s death has given all of those who new him a great deal of sadness it is at this difficult time that we extend our deepest sympathies and condolences to his family, in particular his daughter Pauline her husband Jeff there two sons Michael and Paul and Michaels partner Deborah and to let them know that our thoughts are with them all at this present time.
It is also a time when we should celebrate Eric’s life and to reflect on his dedicated and exceptional contribution to promoting music throughout a full and distinguished life. There were however two very special organisations which were very dear to him during his life; namely the HEBBURN OPERATIC SOCIETY and the CRAGHEAD COLL BAND - which we all know became the famous EVER READY BAND which he played a most significant part in its many successes and achievements during his time as musical director - from 1950 –1988
Eric was of course a very talented musician, an excellent pianist as well as a top class cornet & trumpet player, playing principal cornet for a number of bands, although his playing career mainly evolved around the Crookhall and Craghead Colliery Bands. His first appointment as principal cornet was as a 15 year old with the Crookhall Band, he did however move on to Craghead two years later as principal cornet, a position he held for 18 months until joining the Royal Navy in 1940
After the war Eric initially set down his roots in Bradford where he met and married his late wife Marie and joined the Bradford City Band. However the pull of the North East was so strong that they as a family decided to travel back home where he joined the Crookhall Coll Band as solo cornet. After a period of two years he was beginning to get the urge to take up the baton as a conductor and his first appointment in 1950 was as bandmaster to the Craghead Coll Band when only 29 years old.
It was of course thro Brass Bands that my relationship with Eric began, as a 12 year old in 1952, and a learner in the Band I used to visit Eric’s house in Consett every Sunday morning for lesson’s, little did I realise that at that time this was the beginning of what eventually proved to be for me a very long, successful and rewarding relationship with Eric and the Craghead Colliery Band.
Eric’s first success as a conductor came in 1953 whilst a second section Band when they qualified for the Finals of the National Championships, the Band went on to qualify on four further occasions before being promoted in 1958 to the Championship Section.
Although success in the Championship Section did not come immediately the band did eventually establish them selves and qualified for the Finals of the National Championships for the first time in 1963, failing only twice to qualify during Eric’s tenure as Musical Director. In total the Band made 25 appearances at the Royal Albert hall in 27 years
Over a 21 year period (from 1968 – 1988) he guided the band to 17 first prizes; ………what a fantastic record……….. This golden period actually included 11 consecutive Championship wins (72 – 82) and five hatricks. Other highlights of his success; included, winning the BBC Band of the year in 1974, 5th Royal Albert Hall in 1966 and 4th at the British Open Championships in 1987.
Eric was undoubtedly a major influence on the Ever Ready Band and the Bands successes were largely due to his hard work, dedication and enthusiasm.
Eric’s musical experience did not just evolve around Brass Bands as he continued to play the trumpet with local Orchestra’s and Brass groups well into his late 60’s. He was also very interested in the theatre and was Musical Director for a while at the New Tyne Theatre in Newcastle and also held a similar position with his beloved Hebburn Operatic Society.
In the weeks prior to his death I visited Eric many times in hospital and we spent hours talking about the great times we had, had together and the enjoyment we had shared with the Ever Ready Band, there were so many instances to mention but he remembered them all even going back to 50 years ago what a remarkable memory he still had.
Eric was a quiet person by nature, never sought personal glory but he worked extremely hard to further the quality and standard of what ever musical group he was involved with - whether it was a small Brass group, local orchestra, operatic society or the Ever Ready Band. He was a man I admired greatly and always held him in the highest of esteem, to me he was a great friend and someone I will miss greatly.
I’m not sure as to why the above tribute has been printed again after so many years. Ray Hutchinson.
A great way to add a special touch to an outfit, is by adding a Faux leather jacket or a colored leather jacket. The key is to keep it simple and stick to the classics neutral colors. To create your own unique style by adding accessories as a belt, handbag and boots to give the flawless look .
On today's post I'm making a simple white v-neck tee work perfectly for a night out. To elevate this casual basic I pair it with the most trending fall fabric " leather ". The black leather jacket it's one of the most luxe fabrics that can make any casual basic look fabulous and chic. Another no-fail way to elevated a look is by adding gorgeous jewelry, in this case I added this bold and elegant blue crystals and silver statement necklace. And just like that I'm ready for a girls night out!
Looks like Autumn has finally made it's appearance. Time to break out your sweater, jackets, scarfs and booties out your closets ladies!
it's been getting a little cooler and good enough to wear a light sweater or pair a wrap shift dress with a long sleeves blouse. So, I pieced together some basic fall essentials to create this look. I'm combining a plaid scarf, skinny jeans and a must - have " Ankle Bootie." To add more style to this look I added the Fedora hat which is same color patter as my scarf. The tote and ankle booties are iconic Autumn colors that really complement this casual and comfortable look.
