Well the Easter break is officially over - did you indulge? I must confess I did munch my way through one egg and three little packs of treat chocolates that came with it! My hubby bought me the egg and who was I to say "No no darling please take it back!" That so wasn't going to happen....
I treated hubby to a dairy free Easter Egg which he said was tasty. It came with little caramel chocolates which again, were tasty I am told. I couldn't resist, I bought him a Lindt dark chocolate bunny as well...they're so cute! He's worth spoiling.
So a lot of people were back to work today but I booked some annual leave to extend the holidays so I have all this week off too. I get 27 days a year plus Bank Holidays (which is generous I acknowledge) so I wanted to enjoy that feeling of getting to Bank Holiday Monday evening and knowing I didn't have to worry about work the next day...or the day after that...or the day after that and so on! Loving it.
So far with my time off work/the holidays, I have seen my Mum for the day (she lives about 70 miles away), watched world championship track cycling on the tv (a love of mine), cleaned the house from top to bottom, caught up on a lot of washing between rain showers, seen or am seeing friends, done the grocery shopping, got my ironing out of the way (did that on my first day off so it was done and not hanging around waiting to ruin my last day off! Good idea I thought...), enjoyed a birthday....and still got five more days!
For my birthday I did get some John Lewis vouchers and a Body Shop gift card. I can't tell you how excited I am about this. I know I know that a lot of you can't bear shopping or perhaps you think vouchers are boring but for me this is brilliant. I absolutely love seeking out lovely smelling toiletries for ones ablutions! And body lotions to follow.
John Lewis have a body lotion by Australian Organics called "Evening Primrose" which includes patchouli which smells completely divine. That's on the hit list. It's not outrageously priced but it's not cheap either. Definitely a treat to be had and using vouchers is perfect for such a thing.
And as for The Body Shop, I could literally buy everything they do for shower & body! I especially love the vanilla & Neroli ranges.
I shall be stocking up on bits and bobs which will see me through for months and months and I shall enjoy perusing and choosing. Getting ready in the mornings is not anywhere near so much of a chore when you're using gorgeously scented and animal friendly products!
I think I have talked myself into browsing The Body Shop website now to get some ideas!
Bye for now, enjoy your week.
