Body Thrills

Ok. So I'm going to pimp some product. Because I must!

Remember I referred to an order I was excited about? I ordered Body Thrills for myself, Rudi and Nellie. I had to keep it hush hush since I was only seeing Nellie last weekend and didn't want to ruin the surprise. Here is what I ordered:



See details of my order here.

I've just place another order and I'm SO excited to receive it. I also bought some gifts for my cousin who will be coming home from London at the end of July. Yay! These are AWESOME gifts. ExMi doesn't use any soap or any additives. Her products are all natural, not tested on animals and LOVELY! I had much trouble deciding what I wanted for my first order, but not so much with the second.

I can highly recommend the Chocolate Pudding shower gel. It literally smells like you are covering your body in chocolate. What can be more decadent than that?! The Jasmine, Rose and Ylang Ylang bath tea that I bought for Nellie smelled DIVINE! We didn't have a bath while we were away, so I didn't get to try it and I prefer to shower at home.

I've ordered some more Chocolate Pudding shower gel for myself, plus some new products I'd like to try like Chocolate Pudding Body Polish (like an exfoliating body scrub). She also has Bedroom Thrills...

If you're interested, you can e-mail her at expensivemistakescheapthrills@gmail.com. She'll send you the latest product and price list.

Fluffy post (MEME)

Since my blog has been a bit "doomy and gloomy" lately I decided to do what Angel would call a 'fluffy' post. Exmi did a post once about the contents of her handbag. I thought that would be fun...although I shudder to think about what I might discover.

As a side note, Rudi and I went to watch Transporter 3 last night. Jason Statham is smoulderingly hot and takes his shirt off quite a few times. Yum! I'm enjoying charting with fertility friend and remembering to take my temperature in the mornings (OK, two so far). I kind of like charts.

A little background on my handbag: It was bought for me by a friend and colleague for my kitchen tea. It's a good quality handbag - hence me being able to use it for so long. I like BIG handbags, as you will discover - I carry a lot of crap around. I also like handbags with lots of compartments so that I can try to maintain some order. I fail miserably at this. Lets see what's inside...

My wallet
My car keys
355ml bottle of contact lense solution (haven't gotten my hands on the travel size)
A box of matches (what for?)
Panado tablets (24's)
Pocket pack tissues (10)
Small ring wire breast cancer note pad
Spare car key
512MB flash drive
Small plastic hairbrush
Clinique stay matte sheer pressed powder
Rennies
Two identity books (married surname and maiden surname)
Earbuds
Contact lense case
Tampon
Cell phone (Sony Ericsoon W850i)
Handsfree kit for my cell phone
Canderel (which I don't drink)
Individually wrapped Spur sweets (which I don't eat)
Illiadin Nasal Spray (Works like a bomb, but can be addictive. Excessive use, ironically, will cause congestion)
Make up bag

Now...my make up bag contains:

Dental floss
Large nail clipper
Clinique lip liner
L'Oreal Infallible lip colour
Nail file
Hair grips
Labello lip gloss
A plastic fold up fork (WHY?!)
Tweezers
Maybelline Watershine Elixer
Lipliner
Small square mirror
Christmas shopping list (STILL!)
Clinique combination lip gloss/fragrance (Happy)
Various lipsticks and lip glosses all nearly the same shade

My wallet contains:

Driver's license
Liquid Gel Ink blue pen
Empty plastic SD card holder
R8.05 in small change
FNB debit card
FNB credit card
Sun International gambling card
Clicks Club Card
Discovery Health membership card
Ster-Kinekor movie club card
Woolworths card
Edgars card
Edgars credit card
Mr. Video card
Dis-Chem loyalty card
Spec Savers loyalty card
Old Mr. Video card
Clinique club card

Believe it or not, I still have a thick stack of cards lying at home that simply didn't fit into my wallet anymore.

That was definitely not as scary as I thought it would be! Now...I tag Angel, Jenty and Wenchy to do it too! If you want to and I haven't tagged you, link back in the comments.
