Soap & Glory Facial Exfoliator and Bio-Oil Review

Soap & Glory Facial Exfoliator

I was at Boots today browsing around for a facial cleanser and I came across this bottle. After reading the description and what benefits it has for me- I decided I must have it and give it a try. My skin is normal but the bottle says For All Skin Types.

I like how it has the tiny pearl bead particles to help exfoliate the dead skin. The cream texture is really smooth and silky!!! I damp my skin with a face flannel then applied a pea size onto the tip of my finger and really worked in onto my skin in circular motions. I could feel the tiny pearls scrubbing the dead skin away. Afterwards I rinsed with luke warm water then pat dry with a towel. The blackheads around my nose have visibly reduced and my skin feels much smoother and softer. I don't normally like perfumed facial cleansers but this one smells fresh and subtle at €7.99- this little bad boy could do no wrong!!

Ahhhh... Been ill for days and finally recovering. Whooo!! I think I had what everyone else had- sinus infection! Bleh! I really hate it when the nose gets blocked and you can't breathe.

But I think I passed my disease to someone.. Oopsy!!

Anyway- found out that my graduation day would be on Friday 8th April. Finally!!!

Yan and Alan are going to be leaving really soon now... Hm... Come to think of it, I'm really going to effin' miss them.. Guess I don't have any more guinea pigs to try out my cooking. Haha just kidding!

I guess at the moment I have a bittersweet feeling. Not really sure what I want to major in or do in life..

Oh well.. Let's just hope its a phase!

Tomorrow is Kate's last day in David Marshall. She's going to take one month off then move to Brazil with Serginho. Wish her all the best! xXx

Maureen and I decided we will do skydiving for Cancer Society Charity in honour of our dear friend Celine Murphy!! Watch this space!! ♥

Blog

A quick update as I haven't updated in a while due to my computer dying but thanks to Alan- its fixed now. Yay! Turns out it was my stupid wireless keyboard causing my hard drive to fail and now I have a new hard drive and the old one is going to get destroyed. Can't believe I'm going to be losing all my files!

Tuesday 15th March- today is Yan and Alan's leaving do so we all went out to Harold's Cross Greyhound Racing. We had dinner, few bets and drinks. I won only once out fo the 11 races. Boo! But it was great fun!

Wednesday 16th March- Romeo and I went to the park and had a picnic before walking half way back to his house from Tallaght! Cooked steak for dinner.

Friday 18th March- Celine's funeral at Saggart. Went to Brown's Barn afterwards for some food and drinks with staff from David Marshalls then headed into town to The Secret Bar for more drinks!

Saturday 19th March- Went to the cinema in Dundrum with Romeo and watched Battle Los Angeles which wasn't too bad. Came home and made Lassaka to eat tomorrow for dinner. I'm feeling so sick with a dry cough and dizzy spells. >_<

Lassaka- Lasagne/ Moussaka

My first attempt on making Lassaka. I don't know does this even exist but its crossed between a lasagne and moussaka- my 2 favorite dishes that are similar so I thought I'd combine them! It was really easy to make and ingredients wise- just use whatever you like eating!

I actually made this the night before as it will taste  better the day after. Hope you will enjoy this!

Ingredients I used:

2 Medium Aubergines- sliced into 1cm

Mince beef

1 large onion- diced

Mushrooms- quartered

Lasagne sheets

Lasagne Tomato Sauce

Bechamel Sauce (white sauce)

White cheese/ Parmesan cheese

Rub salt on aubergines to take away the bitterness then place on a tray lined with tin foil and roast in oven for 20mins. Saute mushrooms and onions for few minutes then add mince and cook until mince is no longer pink. Add a pinch of salt, pepper and mixed herbs (optional). Add lasagne red sauce and simmer for few minutes.

Line and grease lasagne tray and start layering with aubergines first, mince, lasagne sheet, bechamel sauce. Repeat until you end with lasagne sheet. Pour bechamel sauce all over and sprinkle cheese on top. Sprinkle Paprika (optional) so it will brown nicely. Slice a couple of tomtatoes and place on top of cheese for decorations. Set Gas Mark 5 and bake for 45mins. Leave to aside to set for 10 minutes.

Can be served straight away or left til the next day.
If you are leaving it for the next day, cover it with tin foil and bake in oven for 20mins Gas Mark 5 then without the tin foil for another 5-10 minutes. Enjoy!

PS- this was delicious and really easy to make!!

My dear friend Celine. 

You've watched me grow from a teen to a young lady. I will never forget you. Everything you have taught me in life- I will remember your words.

And I promise I will never stop doing what I love.

You will be missed but never forgotten.

I have so much respect for you missy- and I know your energy and charisma will live on! Watch over all of us.

I love you so much missy.

Rest In Peace. xXx 

One Sweet Day- Mariah Carey Ft Boyz II Men

Sorry, I never told you, all I wanted to say.

Now it's too late to hold you. '
Cause you've flown away, so far away.

Never, Had I imagined, yeah, living without your smile.
Feelin' and knowing you hear me.
It keeps me alive. Alive!

And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven,
Like so many friends we've lost along the way,
And I know eventually we'll be together.
One sweet day.

Picture a little scene from Heaven.

Darling, I never showed you.
Assumed you'd always be there.
I took your presence for granted.
But I always cared
And I miss the love we shared.

And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven.
Like so many friends we've lost along the way.
And I know eventually we'll be together.
One sweet day.

Picture a little scene from Heaven.

Although, the sun will never shine the same, I'll
always look to a brighter day.

Yeah, Lord, I know, when I lay me down to sleep,
You'll always listen, as I pray!

And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven,
Like so many friends we've lost along the way,
And I know eventually we'll be together.
One sweet day.

And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven,
Like so many friends we've lost along the way,
And I know eventually we'll be together.
One sweet day.

Sorry, I Never told you, all I wanted to say 

RIP Celine Murphy

Good News & Bad News

Good news is that I've finally converted my old MSN Space to wordpress. But most likely I won't continue writing entries in it as I've already started this one. Out with the old, in with the new- right??  Bad news is that I haven't updated this in a while since being back from Chester due to my computer failed on me and I need to go get it fixed!! Which I will tomorrow! It's going to cost me an arm and a leg but I suppose it's better than having nothing!

So, a quick update! Alan had completed his Kilimanjaro Charity climb- well done!

I was at the Tutankhamun Exhibition with Romeo last Friday 25th Feb. Although the artifacts are replicas but they were so good!! They might have been the real deal!! Although the exhibition wasn't as big as I thought it would be- it was still great. Thanks Romeo for bringing me to see Valley of the Kings!!!

Nothing much new with me lately - I'm just looking to upload my pictures from Chester and Tutankhamun!

I recently drew a canvas on my under the stairs toilet and have started painting it. Its not finished yet but so far so good. Can't wait to show you all!!!
