Hey guys, just a quick post on my lazy Saturday afternoon, nothing too fancy just making sure I keep blogging regularly so it becomes a good habit rather than something I feel I have to do even when I don't know what to write about :)

My Graze box arrived today, I'm really excited to try out the two on the left as they are new to me. (Is it sad to be excited by fruit and nuts?!) The two on the right are what I call old faithfuls, I've had them in about three boxes and I always click the "Send Soon" button when rating what I would like to recieve. Also I can guarantee about three of these boxes will be empty by the time I leave to go to Jack's this evening haha.

If you haven't yet tried a Graze box, use the code C3MVH3H to get your first box free and your second half price :)

I'm spending this afternoon catching up on WWE Raw and Smackdown, yep life-long wrestling fan here! Need to finish reading the two books I have on the go right now, can I add two of the best books I've read this year so far.
Fear and Loathing was made into a movie with Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro in '98, brilliant movie which keeps to the book as much as possible, something I always appreciate when books are adapted into movies. Also, the illustrations in the book are so surreal, drawn by Ralph Steadman who is from Wallasey which is just over the Mersey from Liverpool. His drawings can really mess with your mind in terms of what you think you see and what is actually there.
Everville is my favourite Clive Barker book, I've only read a handful of his books, but he's a fantastic writer whose work would be a great addition to your bookshelf!

How do you usually spend your Saturdays? :)

My second lot of goodies bought this week are mostly books. I already have a large stack of books waiting for me to have a few minutes to read and most importantly, enjoy them!
But when pottering through HMV I couldn't resist picking up a few bargains...

I already own Tortue The Artist but still haven't read it, even though I've lent it out to friends!
L.A Candy by Lauren Conrad was also a sneaky purchase from Amazon, but for 99p and just £2.75 p+p I couldn't say no.
The other three, Lila, Moab Is My Washpot, and Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas, along with Pineapple Express on dvd, came to £13! They weren't even reduced books, that was the normal price, so I'm chuffed with that ^_^
I've been wanting to get Fear and Loathing for quite a while, ever since I watched the movie I've been lusting after the book, but never got round to it.
Moab Is My Washpot is Stephen Fry's autobiography, which is meant to be a hilarious read. I already have The Star's Tennis Balls on my bookshelf, which is quite a tongue-in-cheek novel; I adore the way he writes and how expansive his vocabulary is.
Lila was an impulse purchase, I read the blurb and was instantly intrigued.

Shall do a review on each book when I eventually get round to reading them, but I do love having a huge stack of books waiting to be read!

What are you reading at the moment?

Just a quick update on my week so far and what goodies I have purchased; I promise to do a more meaningful(?) post over the weekend :)
I went to the Professional Beauty show in Manchester GMEX Centre on Sunday with my mum, auntie and cousins. It was really good, we got a lot of goodies for next to nothing, and ended it with a good ol' roast at my aunties house. Unfortunately, my mother and auntie decided to "get on the wine and cocktails" - lethal combo! And ended up sat playing the bongos and destroying Lenny Kravitz' songs with an acoustic guitar!
It was still a lot of fun, although I sort of felt like me and my cousins were babysitting...

I have however, managed to pick up a few goodies in town, which has cheered me up to no end.
I purchased several books in HMV, along with Pineapple Express on dvd for a mere £13.
In Superdrug and Boots, I nabbed four new Barry M nail varnishes while the offer's still on, and got myself another £5 No. 7/Ruby& Millie voucher.

I didn't realise just how big my Barry M collection has gotten, well it seems big to me!
Apologies for the low quality photos, I will rectify this soon as possible, but this is my collection broken down for you lovely readers:

L-R: Black, Indigo, Bright Blue, Blueberry Ice Cream

L-R: Red Black, Raspberry, Fuschia, Bright Pink

L-R: Strawberry Ice Cream, Limited Edition, Mushroom, 3in1 Clear

My newest ones this week are Indigo;it's gorgeous on, pick it up while you can! Blueberry Ice Cream, Strawberry Ice Cream and the Limited Edition, which so far I've only seen in Boots.

What colours do you have in your Barry M collection? Any beauts I'm missing out on?
