#TeamGrace

I have something a bit different for you today.

I work at a doctors surgery, and a few months ago in July of this year, one of the doctors children was diagnosed with an Osteosarcoma. This means that 7 year old Grace has a malignant tumor in her bone.

She underwent a 12 hour operation to remove the tumor and is currently half way through her treatment, which should finish in March 2013, providing there are no delays due to the side effects or infection. 

We are scheduling a climb up Mount Snowden for next year, and are having all kinds of other fund raising activities, raffles etc..

The charity that has been chosen by Grace's family is Candlelighters, a fund which goes towards treatment and recovery for the children, and making them more comfortable through such a tough time.

Please have a look at our Just Giving page HERE to find out some more deets!!

If you can support #TeamGrace in any way, I thank you so much!! And if not, I thank you for taking the time to read this blog :-)

Paul & Joe Self Select Eyeshadows

Paul & Joe Self Select Eyeshadows are something that I've been after for a while now. As it was my birthday a few weeks ago, I thought it was time to treat myself!

How it works is, you buy your palette, then pick three eyeshadows of your choice to put in there. 

The packaging is, as per, beautiful! Even down to the little plastic covers that the shadow's come in. This is why I love P&J.

L-R #30 Plumage, #001 Under the Stars and #31 Chestnut.

Shadow #30 Plumage - a shimmery blue/green.

Shadow #001 Under the Stars - a multi glitter

Shadow #31 Chestnut - matte brown. Perfect crease colour!

Completed palette.

Texture of these shadows is just so amazing. They are super soft and easily blend-able. Paul & Joe do it again!

Shadows #30 + #31 cost £12.50 and shadow #001 is £9.99. The empty palette is £8.50 all from Beautybay.com.

Going Underground

One of my favourite things about London is the Underground system.

I went to visit some family with my parents a couple of weeks ago, and honestly, I think I had the most fun under ground all weekend!

I know a lot of people who are absolutely terrified of using the tube, and I can understand it. It's quite a complex place, with all the colours, directions, stations, and there is a LOT of people.

However, once you've been on a couple of times, and got your head round the rainbow of lines and squiggles, it really is easy peasy.

I think it is absolutely brilliant value for money though. We spent about £8 each and traveled all over London. You can basically hop on and off whenever and wherever you want, all day. (As long as you stay in Zones 1-5).

There really are some characters down there. Kinda like the mutant ninja turtles.

Visit Transport For London for more info.

Have fun!
