So last week Glasgow gained a cool new store. Perfect Gifts and Interiors opened up on Stockwell street and I went along to their launch night to check it out.

I’ll just say right now that if you go, even with a few pounds in your purse, you will want to buy something and it will be something that you probably won’t find anywhere else in Glasgow.

No prizes for guessing what Perfect Gifts and Interiors sell, (gifts and interiors) but if you like modern, cute and funky products then you will really think that they are perfect. 

They are also quite inspiring, there are lots of gifts and interiors aimed at newly weds, new parents, people in new homes that are just right on mark and at the moment there are also many chic and unusual Christmas decorations and gifts. 

I took so many photos at the Perfect Gifts and Interiors launch night of cool products that caught my eye so I have just added them all below to give you an idea of the type of range you will find.

There really are so many lovely products and gift ideas and I was lucky enough to take some home with me in a goody-bag. We also bought two items to give as Christmas gifts so obviously I think Perfect Gifts and Interiors is worth a visit when you are doing your Christmas shopping. You can see what I took home with me below:

I love Christmas. I love advent calendars. I love cosmetics. I love surprises.

So beauty advent calendars really are Christmas in a box to me. Fortunately the wait is over  and the first beauty advent calendar  of 2014 (that I know of) is now officially on sale!

 So what is it and where can you buy it?

It’s…The Ciate Mini Mani Manor Nail Polish Advent Calendar!

You can only buy it from Selfridges or from  www.selfridges.com , it is £49.00 and while I won’t be buying one myself because I have more nail polish than I can store, it really is an amazing little item and it will sell out FAST. So if you want one then you should hotfoot it over there.

Here is what the calendar looks like :

Ciate 1

They are currently still in stock 🙂

There are 3 different variations of the calendar and from what I can tell it is a lucky dip as to which variation you will receive.

Wondering what the next beauty advent calendar to go on sale will be?

I’ll let you know soon.

Ellen Page’s speech was much more than ‘I’m gay’

Just watched the speech that Ellen Page gave at the Time to Thrive conference. This speech is now making it’s way around the internet because while giving the speech Ellen comes out as Gay. While this is very admirable and brave I am sharing the video not because of this declaration but  because I feel that the speech she gave was incredibly heartfelt and inspirational. No matter what sexuality you are there are truths in her message about how to strive to be a better human being and about the difficulties life throws at you when you are ‘not the norm’. She even talks about the pressures that Hollywood puts on us all and how that pressure is something that has affected her and something that she has struggled with. Her message was much more than ‘I’m gay’ and there is much more information and inspiration to be gathered from listening to it.

Also I would just like to congratulate Ellen on her public speaking abilities. She is a very skilled and passionate public speaker.

Oil Eyes

Hey 🙂

So I got a gorgegeous new necklace from Forever21 (they just opened their first store in Scotland and I love it!) you can see me wearing it in the below picture. Anyway I really loved the colours and thought they looked a bit like oil which inspired me to try an oil eyeshadow look. You can see my attempt below as well. I think it looks a lot better in person, the colours are more vibrant, my rubbish camera didn’t pick them up very well. Anyway I hope you can see the look I was going for. If any of you want to re-create this look let me know and I can put together a tutorial if there is enough interest.
