Dreams and Sparkles Jewellery

I was recently sent some jewellery items from Dreams and Sparkles to wear and I have had a lot of comments from friends asking where they came from. Dreams and Sparkles is owned by fellow blogger Shannon Wilson whose beauty and lifestyle blog you might recognise as being Raspberrykiss.co.uk. Shannon is really passionate about affordable and pretty jewellery, accessories and stationery and decided to set up Dreams and Sparkles to provide people with lovely items with very low prices.

I was very kindly sent three items to wear and review and I am really impressed with all three. The first item is this Dainty Gold Coloured Skull Necklace which features a lobster clasp to fasten. Made of Alloy it is 45cm in length and it sits really nice and flat against my chest when being worn. Strikingly the skull is the first thing people do comment upon when they see it, more because those who know me well, know I have a slight fascination with them.

The second item is also a necklace called the Dainty Silver Coloured Clavicle Necklace. Again it is 45cm in length and sits really nicely when being worn. Using a lobster clasp to fashion, this necklace looks great with most outfits and I love the Clavicle, it is different to everything else I own.

Finally we have a gold cross bracelet which I wear quite a lot of the time because I just love the design. I have quite small wrists, so this does move about quite freely when being worn, but doesn't fall off my wrist. It measures 21cm in length and features a lobster clasp like the other two items. The gold cross sits flat across your wrist when fastened and then as it freely moves, it hangs quite nicely.

I highly recommend having a look at what Dreams and Sparkles has to offer you because honestly there are so many great pieces to choose from and as well as UK postage, there is now also international shipping available too.

Weleda Heroes Kit

Weleda for me is a brand which really doesn't get the coverage it should or the indeed the praise it deserves and today I am going to introduce you to this really cute little Weleda Heroes Kit which is packed full of the brands most popular skin and body care products.

As a brand Weleda has a company motto which is "In harmony with nature and the human being". Which in essence means that all of their actions should serve the good of our customers, employees and partners, and should be characterised by love and respect for nature".

Inside this really cute and very handy organic cotton bag with zip, you will find and be able to try five of Weleda’s most popular skin and body care treats in trial size. Personally I think this is a great idea, I am a huge advocate of trial sized products because they give you a brief insight as to whether or not you like the product and want to buy the full version and if you are already a fan, then sample sizes are great for travelling with.

Inside this bad you will find:

Skin Food (10ml) - This is possibly the product most people will identify with and be aware of.  Skin Food is a very rich cream and serves as a multipurpose wonder balm to nourish, repair and hydrate dry skin. To deeply nourish hard working, dry hands: apply liberally, cover with gloves and leave overnight.

Birch Cellulite Oil (10ml) - With this the instructions are that for the first four weeks Weleda Birch Cellulite Oil should be massaged into damp skin with circular movements at least twice a day to improve the skin's texture and firmness. For ongoing maintenance apply once a day. Massage the oil into the skin with moderate pressure towards the heart.

Wild Rose Soothing Day cream (7ml) - This is a rich, intensive, caring moisturiser for dry skin that counteracts fine lines, dryness and dull skin. This deep-nourishing skin care helps prevent the premature appearance of ageing and leaves the skin feeling soft and supple with a healthy natural glow.
