Wednesday Wishlist #74

Wednesday Wishlist
New Look:
Blue and White Paisley Floral Skater Dress - £24.99
 Misumi White Heart Dress - £19.99
 Grey Polka Dot Rabbit T-Shirt - £7.99


Yet another Wednesday Wishlist that is strictly New Look. I'm currently looking for some dresses and I noticed the heart print one above and thought it was really pretty. I love the shaped hem and the black on white too. It comes in a white on black and a red on blue print as well and they're all equally lovely.

I also really love the blue on white paisley print dress as well. I've been seeing this absolutely everywhere and it's so pretty and perfect for spring.

I just had to include the grey t-shirt with polka dot pocket as it made me chuckle. The little rabbit poking its head out of the pocket is so cute. It's such a simple tee, but it really brightens up an outfit and gives it an interesting talking point.

What's on your wishlist this week?

Lanolips Rose Balm Intense for hands and nails

Lanolips Rose Balm Intense
Lanolips Rose Balm Intense for very dry hands and nails - £5.99*

Lanolips Rose Balm Intense

Lanolips Rose Balm Intense
I'm always very wary when it comes to using hand products. A lot of products seem to set off my psoriasis and when I was sent this hand cream I thought the same may happen again. My hands were actually itching a bit and I could see the onset of psoriasis coming but I thought 'what the hell' and used the balm anyway. Amazingly it really soothed my hands and stopped them itching.

This is a purse-sized balm for very dry hands in particular. It is based on Lanolips' signature Medical Grade Lanolin, which is hypoallergenic and alcohol free - in other words, it's perfect for me.

The balm is a lovely peachy pink colour and you only really need a pea sized amount. It's lovely and thick and rich. It does have a slight scent to it, which is quite possibly the shea butter coming through mixed with rose oil. Its really hydrating and leaves my hands feeling soft and lovely for the rest of the day after application.

I was really impressed with the soothing qualities of this balm and for £5.99 I would definitely recommend it.

Doesn't anyone else feel like this week was really long? I suppose it was compared to the four day luxury of last week.

This week Vince caught the Masterchef bug and has been perfecting his cooking skills to Masterchef standard. I was very happy to play the part of Gregg Wallace / John Torode and try his dishes and I have to say they were a-mazing! On Friday night he cooked Pork loin steaks braised in apple and blackcurrant cider on a bed of mashed potato and spring onions with courgette, red cabbage and a pea puree. Very fancy!

It tasted absolutely delicious and we only remembered afterwards that we should have taken some proper pictures instead of Instagram snaps. Last night he cooked gammon steaks on a bed of spicy red cabbage with spring onions, mushrooms, pan fried sweet potatoes and cauliflower and cottage cheese puree. I don't think you can make a Masterchef without some kind of puree can you? I wasn't to sure about the cottage cheese but it was gorgeous. I'm secretly hoping he's going to create another dish tonight.

Charlie had a visit to the vets on Saturday and now he's all booked in for his neutering and microchipping! I'm going to hate thinking of him at the vets all day all alone, he's going to think we've got rid of him or something. After he's recovered he will be ready to hit the great outdoors. I hate the fact that we live on a bus route and I'll be constantly worrying he will get run over or something but it's not fair to keep him indoors.
