Jaclyn Hill & Becca - Champagne Pop


Wow, just wow. Jaclyn Hill & Becca has made a gemstone.
 A rare gemstone. 

Emphasis on the rare! i hunted this down so hard, on the verge of spending a lot of money in Sephora to get it shipped to the uk, which lets face it isn't a real hardship ;)
In perfect timing my auntie in law told me she was going to new york and i thought.. *opera harmonies* yaaaay this could be the moment i get my hands on it.
She and her group looked for it everywhere for me which i appreciate so so much but everywhere was sold out :(
My auntie then messaged me and told me to look on the internet. Of course my heart slightly dropped as i already knew nowhere had it at easy access.

I was then told to look on Space NK and there it was *opera harmonies again*
right there for me to click with no over spending in Sephora.. no shipping costs when it came to my door... just right there for me to click and it all me mine *cruella divile laugh*
And my hunk of a husband even brought it for me as a present! Which was just a cherry on the top.




 In a very detailed personal description i would describe the shade as though jaclyn herself & the whole team at becca have each a block of gold.
Standing around a huge bowl listening to *opera harmonies 3rd time*....
and finely grating that bar of gold into the bowl which is then formed in the famous gorgeous sturdy packaging at the becca factory.

 Im not at all suggesting that this is grainy from the bar grating, as this formula feels like cream, smooth soft cream.
 That glides on the skin like butter.

Even though the formulas so creamy the lasting power of the highlighter is so long lasting, shines & glows all day long.


 Thank you for reading
& 
see you on my next post

My Favourite Spring Nail Polishes




Even though i'm so ready to start uploading my summer posts, i didn't want to miss sharing this one... My Favourite Spring Nail Polishes. 
These colours just scream spring to me, but of course they can transition into summer colours too.

I love to where more brighter pastel shades in the spring because throughout autumn/winter i would be wearing maroons, blacks, deep purples, dark reds (which all i adore)
but its lovely to get my pastel shades out and have a bright fresh colour on my nails.

I love spring and everything about it! Like my home and life in springtime i just want to freshen everything up, including my nails and i use these colours to do just that...

From Left to Right...
Essie - Sparkle On Top (Bridal Collection)
Barry M Nail Gelly - Sugar Apple
Essence - Be Awesome Tonight
Barry M Nail Gelly - Rose Hip
Essie - Hubby For Dessert (Bridal Collection)


Thank you so much for checking out what colours i like to wear in spring time on my nails & ill see you soon on my next post which will be flowing into the summery vibes ;) 






My Favourite Spring Fragrance





To name my reasons why i love spring and why its my favourite season, could be a whole post on its own.
But, i'll give you one & thats the smell of spring.
The fresh air, the freshly cut grass, the sun shine warming up our garden so we can have bbqs... that scents our neighbourhood & best of all... the scent of freshly blooming flowers.
In our front garden we have rose bushes that have been planted there since we moved in, since i was born! Every year they bloom into beautiful, plump, petal crammed beauties.
I LOVE the smell of roses! I feel its such a classy, sophisticated, pretty scent in flower and product form.

Speaking of such, here is my ultimate favourite spring fragrance.
Paul Smith - Rose

Quite a few years ago myself, mom, nan & uncle went on a little holiday, where of cause we perused around some shopping centres.
We popped into what i believe was boots? 
Strolling past the counters and smelling some perfumes. We came across this one, all loved it and all brought it.
I picked this particular bottle up for just £20.00 in asda. 
So affordable for such a fragrance that smells like it should be so much more!

* sprays on hand, so i can get a good whiff to describe*
Roses, pure roses.
This fragrance is of course floral... with only a pinch of sweetness.
Im not keen on the over powering artificial scents sometimes of rose scented products & this is far from that.
Its smells like Paul Smith himself has picked fresh roses from his garden, crushed the petals until they release liquid and carefully poured it into a glass bottle.



This fragrance is truly beautiful & Its not at all over powering. It makes me feel so delicate and pretty whenever i where it, which is why i wore this on my wedding day!
As i spritzed this on to myself and over my wedding dress, 
i felt that i had made the perfect choice with my bridal fragrance, fresh and classic. 
The scent from my bouquet and the scent of this gorgeous fragrance blended so well & made me feel oh so bridal.

There we have it, you now know my ultimate spring fragrance.
PAUL SMITH - ROSE


About Me

So i thought the best thing i should do for my first post is introduce myself...
My name is Emilie and i am 22 years old, i'm married to my gorgeous husband & have a cutie fluffy cat daughter.

Ive been married for a year & have also had my angel of a cat for just over a year now. 
22 does sound young these days to be married... but me and my husband have been together for 7 years in june and i just knew that i could not have him in my life anymore as just my boyfriend and i wanted him as my husband. And of course likewise for him, as he asked me to marry him november 2014 and we got married 4 months later. It was so magical all the prep and excitement was amazing. I had been saving since i was 15 as i knew he was my one.
We work so well together as a team and supports me in everything i do.

So theres my love life lol.

Onto the reason why i wanted to start my blog.
I actually had a blog previously to this one but i decided to delete it and have a fresh new start. 
Ive also decided to start a fresh start with a youtube channel, I've leave the link here... if you would like to check it out.

Some of the reasons why i love the idea of having what i like to call my little garden on the internet is because of a few reasons...

I really want to start showing more appreciation for things.
I feel like a have a good amount of appreciation for things anyway but for example, when i go shopping and buy some really lovely things, of course i take time to ponder over the lovely things I've brought, but most of the time they end up in the portal of my wardrobe and drawers and slightly forgotten about.
If its something that i really think should have a lot of appreciation for, id like to share it with you so we can ponder together. I can make time to sit and think about what I'm going to write, why i really like this particular item that I'm talking about.

Another reason is that i can share memories, an online memory book. Where i can share places I've been, things I've seen & something that I can look back on and remember what i was thinking about my memory descriptions.

The reason why i call my blog my online garden, is because a garden blooms such a variety of things, different flowers, different colours... So like that i want to bloom posts with a varied amount things...

Lifestyle, Food, Makeup, Skincare, Travel
etc
& 
I hope you would like to take a key (imaginary ofc)
and bring it every time you visit my blog, as if you were opening the door to my secret garden. Ouuu doesnt that sound nice haha. 

A post will bloom soon and see you then
Emilie x
