Freshen up with nspa.


7am, snow on the ground, lots of walking and cleaning to do, I need to be woken up!

In winter it can be so hard to wake up, it's cold, it's dark.. You want your duvet! But unfortunately the day calls and you've got to answer! The solution? For me it's a hot shower with raspberry, mint, lime or cherry scented shower gels to get my senses working in those early hours! These fragrances are also perfect for when you want to freshen up after a workout!

This gift set by nspa is in "fresh, sweet raspberry" according to the bottle and I'll tell you now, the bottle does not lie! So sweet, so fresh. I am extremely excited to have this product again as I used to use it all the time after Aqua Fit as it got rid of that awful chlorine smell brilliantly and I am pleased to say the product is still as good, my shower smelt amazing and I definitely feel more awake! This product lathers up well and a small bit goes a long way, the only downside? You can't smell it much afterwards, but bring in the body butter, problem solved! I now smell nice and fruity (if you smell me that is, I won't knock you out just from entering the room). My only niggle with the body butter is that it's very thick and doesn't spread that far, but I do feel soft!

500ml versions of this shower gel and 200ml body butters are available for just £3 at Asda.

Have you used any nspa products before? I'd love to know!



Festive Fragrances.



Christmas is my favourite holiday and this year I asked for two particular fragrances, one an old favourite and the other something new, I was lucky enough to get both, plus a few extra goodies!

Ok, so I'll start with my old favourite CK One Shock, this is what I like to call My fragrance as I wear it the most often. It smells incredible and is also affordable at only £28 for 100ml. It's a juicy and floriental scent that lasts the day.

The other perfume I asked for was Versace Crystal Noir, at £49.50 for 50ml this perfume is slightly more expensive but my oh my does it smell good! With it's oriental floral scent I find it's the perfect evening fragrance and I was lucky enough to get an adorable handbag sized 30ml bottle as well as a body lotion.

The other two presents were surprises, both of which I am very happy with. I have used both Marc Jacobs Daisy perfumes in the past and love their floral smells, however I had never tried Marc Jacobs Honey and I must say I'm surprised I've not! It's a lovely smell and the base note of honey is just right! At £49.50 for 50ml it isn't the cheapest but it is quite strong so you wouldn't need a lot! 

Finally is Lady GaGa Fame at £31 for 50ml. I was pleasantly surprised having expected an unusual and eccentric scent based on both Lady Gaga herself and the fact that the liquid is black!! But this fragrance is very lady like and subtle and when smelling it I couldn't help but to be reminded of my childhood favourite Charlie Red, £6 for 100ml.

Have you used any of these fragrances or can suggest any to try?



Me & My Blog.


Hi Everyone xo
So first of all, a bit about myself.

I really am Just That Everyday Girl. I wasn't blessed with perfect hair, skin and nails, I'm small, like 5ft2 small, so I do have to make sure I stay fit, I'm so scared of getting wrinkles (maybe a bit too much but never mind), I work hard so I am able to buy nice things and go to nice places and I am always rushing to get everything done so that I have time to just relax with the people that matter most to me.

So here is what I love...
Fashion - Jewellery - Beauty Products - Perfumes - Lotions & Potions - Shopping - Cooking - Baking - Films & TV Shows - Restaurants - Travelling - Exercising - Long Showers - Country Walks - Photography - My Family, Friends & Boyfriend.

With all these interests I find that Money and Time is something the EVERYDAY GIRL never has enough of, so I decided to create this lifestyle blog to help that everyday girl make the most of her time and money by sharing my opinions and reviews on trends, products, places and activities.


I hope you enjoy my blog.
