A Nation State Tale!
Once Upon A Time I received some stationery in the mail from .......
Nation State. I proceeded to gaze in wonder at the.......
Koh-I-Noor Magic Pencil (available here) and get all excited at the prospect of giving it a whirl. But first I took some more photos..........
Not wanting to wait any longer, I knew it was time to rip open my...........
Set of 2 Moleskine Notebooks (Volant). These little beauties had 96 lined pages each and the last 16 pages were even detachable. That's good, because normally I rip pages out willy nilly. This way I can write a shopping list and detach it like a tidy person. YAY! The cardboard covers are flexible, and the notebooks are just the right size for jotting down thoughts and making lists.
Moving on to the all important aspect of colour, I admired the pretty shades of Pink Magenta and Rose Magenta, and reflected upon how fabulous pink was.
Time to bust out the Magic pencil! I was flicking through the notebook, deciding where to release my (very limited) creative talents, when I stumbled upon this cute little message........
so I drew a love heart around it. As you do. By that stage I was pretty enamoured with the colourful abilities of the Magic pen, so I started colouring in the bottom of the page, then turned it into a.........
caterpillar. This greatly impressed my four and a half year old son, who was only expecting a triangle from me, given my track record. Until he said, "Mummy, don't caterpillars have legs?". Um yes. Yes, they do.
And my pink Moleskine notebooks, Magic pencil and I lived happily ever after.
The End.

June Beauty Favourites!
Here are seven beauty products I used obsessively last month. So much so, that the Clinique Chubby Stick is almost gone. Sad face.
1/ Clinique Chubby Stick in Whole Lotta Honey
My one and only Chubby, Whole Lotta Honey, is nearly kaput. I will most certainly be getting another Chubby, such is the luxurious feel of this moisturising lip balm from Clinique. My only problem? What colour to try next!
2/ Benefit Thrrrob
This powder blush from one of my favourite brands, Benefit, is subtle and oh so pretty. A musky pink that makes me smile!
3/ L'Occitane Dry Skin Hand Cream
I'm onto my final sample-sized tube of this gorgeous hand cream, and I will certainly miss it when it's gone. It absorbs super-quickly and leaves my skin soft, nourished and lightly fragranced.
4/ The Body Shop Candied Ginger Lip Balm
Ginger can be potent and overpowering, but this lip balm is delicious and addictive! Not that I eat it, of course. The texture is just right and it feels lovely on.
5/ Schwarzkopf Instant Volume Powder
This works really well on my fringe to give it a bit of volume in the morning. Sprinkle, rub in, style and spray and my hair instantly looks fuller.
6/ Clinique Anti-Fatigue Cooling Eye Gel
Yes, it's from the mens range, and no, I don't have a penis, but I tried it and I like it. So there. Seriously, this is working wonders for my dark circles and eye bags, really brightening and lifting the area. I am so impressed by this product, I never want this to run out.
7/ Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Rosy Nude
Revlon is fast becoming my favourite lipstick brand, and I reckon I've collected about 20 recently. This glides on effortlessly and the pretty nude shade is to die for. I find I'm reaching for this lippie every day, it's just so flattering.
