  2. That's a lovely Orchid, I had one the same colour but didn't manage to keep it alive!
    This month I'm loving dresses! I've gone mad in the sales! And I also love July as it's my birthday month :)

    @TheBeautyBite: I'm baking a lot the past 2 weeks, my husband has become a total muffin fan, we even came up with a new nickname for him - he's to be called a Muffinator from now on. xxx

  11. Love these favourites posts! Will have to look out for the John Irving and the candles sound scrumptious...not to mention the muffin! My non-beauty faves at the moment are: mojito ice cream (totally sans alcohol!), working like a train on cross-stitching pre-school bibs for my son (not much time left to finish, and I feel so proud of the results!) and watching Disney's "The Jungle Book"...such an enjoyable classic! Bare necessities indeed, especially if you look inside my make up bag!! x

  12. @Mademoiselle C.: Hehe, I guess hubs won't be very happy to learn someone munched on HIS muffins :D I'll be posting a recipe since you girls seem to love it so much!

    @jollybeachang: Thanks, sweetie! xxx

    @Ms Spoonful: I just ate it after my lunch with some Ben&Jerry's ice cream on the side, amazing! x

    @Anna: The book is really good, I recommend it, and I put the candles on my vanity so that I smell something really delicious when putting on my make-up :) I must check out your blog for the bibs! xxx

  14. The orchid is gorgeous. I buy one for my Mum every year for Mothers day because she loves them but she always kills them XD
    Those candles look amazing!
    My non-beauty favourites:
    Mars Ice Cream
    Pixar Movies
    Tight t-shirt dresses
    Hiding the Elephant: How Magicians Invented the Impossible by Jim Steinmeyer
    and Eastenders :)

  16. @Lillian: I usually kill them too, but for the time being... My hubs got my mum one for her birthday and it's the only one that survived in my parents' house. We're joking that it just illustrates the son-in-law's love :)
