Bonnie Somerville - Winding Road

so, my other half/yin to my yang/louise to my thelma/BEST FRIEND IN DA UNIVERSE (aka. claire at little love) completely upped her game in the best bud stakes and sent me a care package from the U.S of A!



it contained a multitude of wonderful things, each carefully selected and chosen (i hope!) to bring smiles to my generous cheeks! inside i found; a mascara (called fairy drops, how cute!), Ole Miss Hotty Totty knickers, Ole' Miss chocolate, Urban Decay primer samples, sephora primer tester, a DONT DO DRUGS pen, philosophy shower gel and my all time favourite perfume!

this last particular inclusion is quite possible the best thing she could've sent me. about half year ago, i discovered the most divine scent - The Body Shop's Vanilla Perfume Oil.



unfortunately, as with all utterly brilliant things, TBS decided to discontinue it in the U.K and despite my hardcore looking, a frantic search for back-up bottle was not fruitful. luckily for me, they still sell in the the U.S, so having a best friend there for a year has turned out to be rather handy.

this stuff is MAGIC - you dab on a teensy bit on your wrist and neck (pules points people) and the boys go gaga for it! everytime i wear, i have men (and women) telling me that i smell amazing- friends, ticket inspectors, random strangers in clubs/bars. it's INSANE - so i'm very glad to have my signature scent once more upon my person. this miniscule bottle last around 6 months with everyday use, and at around $12 is consequently, a BARGAIN!

what's your signature scent? and has a company ever decided to discontinue your HG item? vent below!

it's a bit of a vacuous one this week, but it ties in with my best friend (claire at little love), because as aforementioned on this blog, she has an addiction to all things hello kitty (click here to see a nail tutorial I did for Hello Kitty nails, as an ode to her)! i miss her terribly - it's like one of my limbs has decided to wander off and not to return!

Regina Spektor - Field Below

 
 
it's been almost week since my best friend (claire at little love) in the whole in entire world - and the world is indeed large - packed her worldly possessions into material rectangles and moved across the big blue expanse! while i'm stuck on a tiny island named Britain, she's basking in Mississippian sun, in the U. S. of A!

this widening distance has left me to enjoy my vegetarian-friendly jelly beans, alone.




has anyone else had their best friend escape halfway across the world? how do you cope?

welcome to the second installment of wishing wednesday!
this week, my wish is a cry for there to be more believers of things magickal and inexplicable!

claire's wish (from little love)

 

nate's wish (from Nate Radio)

it would seem that this week, three is most definitely not a crowd and you knows what, I LIKE CROWDS so please send me some wishes to kissesgrantwishes@hotmail.co.uk I WANNA KNOW YOUR DREAMS! 

ps. if you would like to use any wishing wednesday pictures, make sure to source the creator (ie. me and and sumbitters!)

this is the first ever wishing wednesday, and all i can do is to sit, squeeze my eyes so tight my face crinkles and wrinkles into a little ball of scrunched up mush and hope that my wish comes true!

  

there is just one other wish alongside mine, making two wishes for this week (one is lonely and three is a crowd, so i'm quite content for now) - thank you clairey-bestbud-sista from little love!

  

i would love to hear from you if you have a wish you'd like to share - just write it down, scan it/photograph it.create something pretty and email it to me at kissesgrantwishes@hotmail.co.uk

For My Lover, Tracy Chapman

so today, as whilst wearing my fail-safe classic red (Revlon's Matte 006 Really Red), i decided to victory roll my fringe, as an ode to my best friend claire over at little love.



she faithfully and admirably wears her victory rolled fringe proudly out of front doors (which i am terrifed to do!)! let's just admire her drink sipping skills!



things are a little peculiar at the moment - new year means very much a new me, in all the dimensions! i don't have resolutions as such, just one really.

- DO WHAT MAKES ME HAPPY FOR ONCE.

(and of course, the usual; lose 7 pounds, up my skincare routine, exercise more, revamp my wardrobe - but the aforementioned is the ultimate goal!)
