Freebie alert!

You all know I adore The Body Shop so I was very excited to hear that this month's edition of InStyle magazine comes with a free TBS lip and cheek stain.
There are two colours to chose from - rose pink or bronze glimmer. I actually own the pink one (or a very similar colour) and it is perfect for a natural flush and stain on 'no makeup days' or even as a basecoat to a bright red or pink lip to ensure your lip colour is locked in place all day.
I will therefore be popping out this week in search of the bronze glimmer in the hope that it will give tanned skin a lovely natural highlight. If you want to know more you are welcome to check out the InStyle site here.

Hope you are all having a good week! Are there any other freebies out there I should be hunting for? xxx

Hi,
I just ran across your blog while I was searching for pictures of people wearing their leather jackets. After skimming some of the posts I must commend you on your personal style. While many of the outfits wouldn’t be my style, I love the way you put pieces together to make them your own. You definitely provide inspiration to develop one's own personal style and individuality instead of looking like a fashion clone. Have you ever done a post on your closet? I would love to see how you manage all of your clothing…and just be nosy as to what’s in your closet lol

P.s. Your kids are too cute!

I am so happy to receive such joyful email which also gives me motivation doing what I am doing!! ^O^

Except I don't recall I have a general clothes sorting methodology to share. Maybe in the future I will have a BEFORE and AFTER renovation pictures of my closet.  Friends know that I have a tiny walk-in closet. The size doesn't make sense in our house but enough is enough.  I often walk in my closet and go through my things and fold them, divide them, count them..... and donate them...like spring cleaning except that I do that like at least 5 times a year to avoid any overflow to my children's closets. I am not sure if that almost becomes some kind of life "meditation" to me. As you see, I am almost on top of things about all the pieces I keep.
