Hey everyone, I've been AWOL the past few days as I 'had to' go on a work trip on board this fab cruise ship, Norwegian EPIC:
Oh yes =) a good time was had by all. Especially my appetite, which helped me gain THREE pounds. IN. TWO. DAYS. Surely this bends some law of Physics? :( The best things on board were the Ice Bar (there's only a few in the world) and the massive waterslide and plunge pool, oh and the night club with bowling alley and the disco/club with massive screen out on deck. Not a huge fan of The Blue Man Group however. Twas cool they were playing on board, but they're not my thing...a bit...try hard. There was a great range of cosmetics and beauty items in the shops on board: Smashbox, Elemis, Estee Lauder, YSL, etc. but sadly they didn't open as it was just an industry jaunt. Next time though, next time...
I tried to nick this chandelier for my bedroom, but it wouldn't fit in my suitcase:
I missed my wee blog though.
Here's a little Friday Night Quick Tip:
I am a massive perfume obsessive but I have weird Teflon skin to which fragrances just won't stick! So, I apply a light patch of Vaseline (the original, unperfumed one) to the areas I like to spritz (behind ears, wrists, inside of elbow) and this has proven to prolong fragrances quite well. I'm afraid I don't have 'the Science bit' for you on that, but it does work!
And a mini-tip: when applying perfume to your wrists don't rub them together as this can crush the perfume molecules, thereby altering the aroma...let the scent develop naturally.
Lots of properly beauty-related posts on the way; this weekend I'm having a good old rest, a bout of self inflicted starvation (see above) and blog catch up (oh, and Bon Jovi at the O2!). Although I do wish I was at IMATS in Pasadena.
Happy Friday!
