This year I thought instead of the rather pricy beauty advents I shall get myself a tea advent.  I got this one from Amazon for like £15  It seems like a good idea at the time...  Today is 26th of December and it’s only half drunk.  Some teas are great but I have this feeling that whoever designed these just chucked everything in.  Like just now I had Moroccan Spice which is herbal tea with cinnamon, chicory, licorice, peppermint, ginger and orange and all I could taste was licorice and mint. Maybe my palet isn’t that refined but so is your average person...

Or maybe I just was so busy all December long...

But hey I needed pants and also got a cute jumper. Cleaver them making you spend.    The product variety was great, skin care, anti-aging products, hair care, nails, make up. You name it was in the calendar. Brands were ...
