Do you like your books with bit of fantasy, a dash of romance and plenty of adventure (involving magic, vampires, werewolves?)

I know I need to grow up and read fiction more suited to my age, but hey, if you read 'Twilight' don't criticize.

After the whole Twilight book saga, I found myself craving even more super natural romance and luckily came across Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments series. Dare I say, it was just as addictive...

With 3 books initially in the series, it was meant to end with City of Glass. Then last week a little birdie told me that a fourth book had been released in March.

Needless to say I completely devoured the book in a matter of days, and if your anything like me and have a secret addiction to this genre of fiction, I guarantee you'll LOVE this entire series. www.cassandraclare.com


Imagine a giant clothing store where everything is free…

If I lived in Melbourne or happened to be in the area on Wednesday 1st June I'd definitely be heading out to the clothing swap being held at the The Loop Bar at 23 Meyers Place. It's so simple, just bring along up to 6 items of clothing that you value but no longer wear (who doesn't have items like that) and then you get to swap the for ones that you will wear! 


Established for 6 years now, thousands of swappers have enjoyed events in cities right across Australia. The Clothing Exchange promotes the simple notion of swapping instead of shopping for a better wardrobe and better world.

Last week I mentioned the Philosophy Melon Daiquiri Shower Gel which at the higher end of the price range is absolutely divine. However, Radox has just released four NEW shower products, each designed to treat your skin to an invigorating shower experience.

If you happen to see the Radox Pomegranate & Rosehip Oil Shower Cream on your supermarket shelf, grab it pronto! The scent is absolutely  heavenly, a blast to your senses as soon as you flip the lid open. The new Radox shower range is also gentle on your skin and contains a soap free, pH balanced formula that has been dermatologically tested to ensure your skin will always be left feeling its best.

At $5.99 for a generous sized 500mL you NEED to grab one of these next time you do your shopping!
