Carboot Corner !!!

Hi Everyone !
Thought I would share with you some bargains that I picked up today at the carboot.Yes I ventured out of bed at the crack of dawn (6.30 am to be precise!) got ready and decided to go with my Husband and my Dad to the Carboot,well Carboots as we went to two! Unfortunately I only picked up a couple of bits as we are on a don't buy too much that we don't need rule and really there was not that much that we wanted on this occasion so I will have to be satisfied with what we got! We have lots of things to sell ourselves and in fact my Husband and Dad have been the last couple of weeks and have had a stall themselves.I am not that much of an early riser if I can help it and hate getting up too early,7.am is about the usual when I go early to work,I can get up if I choose but carboots are so early,why don't they do them later in the day??? I do go with my Husband sometimes and love to find a bargain! He tends to go every week and we do end up with some really good things.Carboots are fun,yes alot can be rubbish that I don't know why people bother to take it along??? Who wants things that are dirty and falling apart???We only buy and sell good condition or new items. I know carboots are classed by some as a no-no but why not?If like us, you are buying new or nearly new for the fraction of the cost than in the shops then surely it's no problem? Also you can find things that you wouldn't see everyday so you get something that is unique and not just run of the mill !

First of all I got a new set of false nails by Marks and Spencer.The glue has dried out but I always use nailene glue anyway not glue that comes in the kits as it sticks so much better.They are a gorgeous clear with a white tip and decorated with flowers in black with a very tiny amount of gold glitter in the centre of the flowers.They are called Thai Surprise and have a sticker saying £8,I got them for 50p!




Next I got some crafting bits,a lady was selling alot of various bits and bobs and I could have brought lots really but I have so much I need to use first.I just got these glue/sticky dots as I have never tried them before.I got two sets in different sizes each with two sheets in.I haven't counted how many I got but there is definitely afew hundred,all for 40p!!!





Don't you just love bargains? so satisfying!!!!

Coming up Roses!

Hi everyone! Going to talk about a product I brought recently,Vaseline Rosy lips.


This is part of the Vaseline lip Therapy range and comes in a 20g tin.It is designed to give you the beneficial care a lip balm does with the added extra of a pinky/red tint.As the Vaseline gives your lips a tint it can be worn alone on the lips giving them a glossy finish.This is shown in the pic below,being modeled by me!!!

I had put quite abit on in this picture so as you can see the effect is more subtle than dramatic.It can feel alittle slimy on the lips if you do apply too much so I would say just apply a thin layer,although if you want more colour intensity you will need more.It doesn't last the whole day due to it essentially being a lip balm/treatment so you do have to apply every few hours.If you are someone who doesn't wear lipstick or gloss this product is ideal or if you want a rest from lipstick but still want alittle colour and your lips cared for at the same time then this is for you!
Another big plus side for this little wonder is the smell.This has to be one of the best smelling products around,it doesn't taste too bad either! It contains Rose and Almond oil,but I just get the Rose coming through,and that being one of my favourite smells it's a winner! There should be more products with the good old fashioned Rose smell around,you hardly ever see them nowadays or only in gift sets at Christmas!
Price is another factor,compared to other similar products,Nivea care gloss and shine for example,this beats it hands down,it does the same and I got it cheaper.Depending where you go you will find it similar in price but in my opinion go for this.I purchased mine from Bodycare at around £1.29 but I do know in Boots it is over the £2 mark.Also it is harder to come by and my branch of Bodycare was out of stock for awhile as it is popular,whether youtube has anything to do with that, I got my inspiration to buy it from there!
All in all a great product that doesn't cost much and does you good,give it a go.......

Here's where it all begins....

Well here it is,my first blog post! I am starting this the same way I did my first youtube video all those months ago with a haul.To see the video of the haul check out my youtube channel WellThatsNat and if you like what you see then subscribe too! Every new subscriber will get a mention in my subscriber spot on this blog in the month they subscribed to my channel,this is because I love all my subscribers,cheesy I know, but true! Without all your support I would not be doing my videos or blogging,so thanks! I hope to grow in numbers as time goes on too,please : )


I have been buying a few bits lately so wanted to share them with you.Shoes have been the main thing so that is what I will be focusing on in this post.Most of you who know me know I have a shoe thing! I have been good though lately and I have cut right down and only buy sensibly what I need or when I get rid of some at least.The one good thing about my addiction is and will always remain the same,I don't buy expensive shoes,so that sort of justifies things!


To start off with are wedges in a sort of Gladiator style from New Look in a tan and gold studded detail.These were too good to miss at £5 in the sale!!! I wanted these as I have stopped wearing heels alot lately and have hardly worn any in months.I always used to but stopped due to wanting to take more care of my feet.I am slowly starting to wear them again as I read recently that wearing flats all the time can be unhealthy as well as wearing heels! I do have heels but they are more of going out ones,so these are ideal as they seem comfortable.Wedges don't look comfortable but they can be,surprisingly!











Next is the knitted boots in Grey from Primark.These are a great copy for the Uggs.I do love the Uggs and have actually handled a pair in Schu,but like I said I can't justify that kind of spend on shoes (They were £124) These were £7.83.You decide......








Lastly are the Baby Jane's in Grey also from Primark (I see a Grey pattern emerging!) These are to wear with trousers or Black opaque tights and a skirt in the colder months.They are gorgeous,love the colour,love the detail,just love em!!! These have a real leather insole and were £12.72.
