This floral frame has "follow your dream's" written within the space until you can find a photo to place inside. Thank you again Sass & Belle. 

- Hummingbird keyring & pencil

This keyring reminds me of the Sass & Belle style and i adore it. So well made on a rose golden tinted metal, with a vibrant colourful floral print within to compliment. It's a beautiful and unique item that il be showing with pride. 

Pencil : Now everyone need's a pencil and notepad within there bag, place you write ideas's or information. Handy and very cute stationary addition for this month. 

- Make your own bunting kit

When i saw this kit i thought it again was a beautifully colourful addition to make for an event or just add some unique room decor.  

- Zebra paper clip's

Perfect for my planner and notebook's to keep important documents attached but also reusable. There are 3 clips included and these are made by Sass & Belle. They will add a new and fun dimension to my planner.

- Candy striped baggy full of sweet's

The candy stiped bag in each month of ihearthomes contain's a surprise. This month it contained some fruity milk bottle sweet's. They were lovely and a perfect little snack to have whilst looking at the content's if the box. 

- Friendship saying

This saying plaque is beautiful and it would be the perfect gift to your closest friend whom you may not see regularly. The presentation is stunning and really does make this a unique gift. 

- Inspirational card

These card's i find are the perfect inserts for parcel's, I tend to write a note on the back for the reciever to read. I have kept some that i do like to interchange within a frame on my dresser. It help's give inspiration and happiness depending on your need for that week. 

- Aromatherapy soap cube 

This little soap cube is jelly in texture but smell's of a floral & fruity mix. It is a really beautiful scent and my skin from just unwrapping the paper feels so soft. The oils are definatly present and im going to be using this soap today. Below is a little information about the company. 

"Om Shanti Aromatherapy products offer handmade artisan bath bombs, bath salts, soaps and candles. This company has been born out of a love for aromatherapy and holistic wellbeing. Our aromatherapy products use 100% pure essential oils. Essential oils are obtained by extracted the pure oil from the plant. These oils can help to alter mood, and evidence suggests that they help with psychological and physical wellbeing."

In conclusion : This box was beautifully presented this month and amazingly well constructed. Most of these item's i have planned to gift to some of my closest friend's in thanks for there continued love and support through probably one of my most difficult year's. 

Too end is my mantra for the year and ultimate goal for improving positivity. 

Eye of Horus - Scarab Sapphire Goddess pencil

Eye of Horus Website

Eye of horus is a beautiful brand from Australia. Its ideal for those with sensitive eyes, especially if your looking for a eye kohl. The new shade of goddess pencil is available and it is a stunning shade. 

They say :

Scarab sapphire review

So firstly this colour "Scarab sapphire" is stunning. It has a deep blue with an undertone of purple. Almost microglittlers when you see it applied. The creamy and  soft pencil gives a clean and comfortable application. It applies to the waterline really well and is a beautiful colour payoff. 

There are pictures showing the pencils can be buffed out, then apply eyeshadow on top. I would love to try blending out the colour to look beautiful, especially with a taupe, silver and grey. This would be  a lovely duo chrome effect, as its so jewel toned that you won't need to use a shimmer. Plus with it being blended it can be used during the day, with neutral eyeshadow shades on top. The pop of fall colour will come through with this beautiful jewel base. 

 I have used the goddess pencil in the waterline for my look. I feel it makes the blue hues in the eyeshadow really stand out. The goddess line of eye pencils are so impressive, if you struggle to find sensitive eyeliner then look no further. I love the goddess pencils that i own and i cannot wait for the eyeshadow palettes to come to the UK. Its the most exciting makeup line, i look forward to new items coming out as the quality is exquisite. The natural makeup from Eye of Horus is excellent and i do encourage anyone looking for a natural line to try them. 

Have you tried any Eye of Horus products ? 

Brand introduction - Bella J

Bella J website

So as part of 2014 I want to introduce brands, that may not otherwise be known. I do think this is important to help brands, so the brand I want to firstly introduce is Bella J. A company that is deep rooted spiritually, with making products that make you feel good body and mind. Owner Sarah from her story (which if you follow the link will gain the full version ) explains how through dark periods of her life she found her path. So with valentines day coming, I wanted to introduce the newest collection added to the line. 

Brand story 

The symbol attached to BELLA J is a heart, that at first sight resonates love and happiness, but if you take a closer look, you will notice that a little segment on the right hand side is missing, and this is where my story Sarah Jones the founder of BELLA J unfolds. 

Life is a complex voyage that nobody has entirely figured out, its fast passed, constantly changing and an emotional rollercoaster of titanic proportions. However, every now and again life presents you with a sign. My sign presented itself to me in 2012 because of major heartbreak in my life. ( Full story at http://bellaj.co.uk/about-us.html )

Where I am right now is the right time to tell you my story and inspire people with my beautiful products and gifts. It was through my dark times that I was able to realise that life is a gift, and the greatest gifts I have around my home are the meaningful sentimental gifts given by those whom love me.

"The best way to predict your future is simply to create it. My story, Your chapter, writing your memoirs”.

Products and collections 

So currently they are promoting the ‘Falling in Love’ collection just in time for Valentine’s Day. This collection is all about the story of love that results in you reconnecting with your heart. Just for the beauty sweethearts of the world, the "Falling in Love" collection offers four natural products that can be used separately, but have also been designed to work together in order to nourish your skin.

Included in the collection 

Bare: Body Cream (Scented of sweet oil mixed with natural seeds)

Beautiful: Face Moisturizer (Scented of rice and flower petal)

Blossom: Daily Facial Cleanser (Scented of honey bees and garden roses)

Blush: Face and Body Oil (Scented of fresh cut roses and raspberry)

“It is principally about accepting and loving yourself, and nurturing a beautiful spirit to achieve beautiful physical results”.

As we all know there is a story behind everything, how that song became your favourite, how that scar appeared on your body, and how that boy you thought was the one, broke your heart. Sometimes these stories are simple, and sometimes they are tough and incredibly heartbreaking. But behind every story are your memories and this is the very spirit of Bella J - writing your memoirs.

Completely free from parabens, preservatives, petrochemicals, sulfates, artificial fragrances and colours... no wonder Sarah’s product will leave you feeling fabulous.
