London Olympics 2012

Wow, what an amazing 2 weeks! I cannot believe that after the Para-Olympics it will all be over *sad face*.   

I've never really been in to the olympics, but this year i've not been able to get enough of it! I've loved every moment of it, from the amazing opening ceremony, seeing the 'Queen' jump out of a plane, to crying with joy with Jessica Ennis as she was presented her gold medal for winning the woman's heptathlon, Mo Farah winning a double olympic Gold for the men's 10,000m and 5000m. Then there was the spectacular closing ceremony, zigga zig ah anyone?

I cannot explain how PROUD I am of being a part of Great Britain. By the end of the games we came 3rd with 29 Golds, 17 Silvers and 19 Bronze, which in itself is truly spectacular! Compared to how small a country we are against the likes of USA and China, I think that's bloody good going!

Team GB are absolutely incredible for what they have achieved! I would like to say a massive thank you to each of them as they truly have put the 'Great' into Great Britain.

So, so proud!

And then there's Bolt. Well I think it's safe to say he's in a different class of his own! He seems so down to earth and such a funny guy, I like that he took time out to chat with the volunteers. What he has achieved is incredible.

I really cannot believe it's nearly over! I think the games have united the country as one again. Gave us something to be proud of. 

I really hope it inspires the youngsters of today, to be as proud as our Olympians, and that everything is achievable as long as you believe in yourself.

As much as I will be sad that it's over, it means that the football season is finally back!! I cannot wait to see my 11 men.

Primark, Superdrug & Dorothy Perkins Haul August 2012

I popped into town the other day and picked up these little gems from Primark! I'm really impressed with Primark's jewelry collection at the minute, will definitely be picking up a few more items!

I couldn't resist picking these up, both were £1.50 each! Bargain.

Next I nipped into Superdrug, mainly just to see if they had the new MUA Lipsticks in yet (they hadn't), but ended up purchasing these. The MUA Mosaic Blusher in English Rose is a firm favourite of mine, it's always my first choice blusher and at £2.50 you really cannot go wrong! You can pick it up from here.

I also picked up the Neutrogena Visibly Clear 2-in-1 Wash & Mask, and the St. Ives Apricot Scrub, these are both re-purchases, I use them both in my daily skincare routine and wouldn't be without them. They are both currently on sale for £1.99 each! You can pick them up here and here.

I then went into Dorothy Perkins, now I never buy any clothing from there, but the jewelry is lovely! They were having a sale so I picked up these little beauties!

I thought this Great Britain inspired necklace would be perfect for the Olympics! Reduced from £6 to £1!!

How cute!

I also picked up these rings in the sale. 

The heart one was reduced from £5 to £2! And the Ribbon & Asher ones were reduced from £10 to £2!! Bargain.

Have you found any hidden gems lately?
