Howdy Y’all,
I am sharing with you my Sephora Play for February, come and see what I loved and a product which I disliked intently. Plus how cute was this months bag, I love that soft grey/pink it is so elegant. Also see that I am wearing a broach, can you remember my campaign #bringbackthebroach I so love them.
Please enjoy.

Howdy Y’all,
One of my YouTube subscribers said they wanted to know more about me (are they mad-lol.) She suggested that I complete the YouTube video titled above, so in an attempt not to disappoint I did as requested. So that the video was not a million minutes long I split it into part one and two, the second part will follow this in another post. I have never been good at sharing myself and who I am, to be honest I am shocked anyone would be interested but hope you enjoy. If you have any other questions please send them my way, you know how I love to hear from y’all.
Ta Ta for now.

Howdy Y’all,
Happy Monday, how was your weekend? Ours was wonderful the weather here was outstanding. We were not expecting Saturday to be quite as good so we aborted our original plan and instead visited the giant.
Little L and I enjoying a selfie with our giant.
I sort of think of him as the mascot, greeting people as they approach the city. Little L loved him, she compared him to the chicken statue that appears near her Uncle Fun’s house, but like they say “everything is big in Texas.” It also reminds her of one of her favorite stories The Spiffiest Giant In Town by Julia Donaldson. If you have not come across her books for children I urge you to do so, they are simply fabulous. If you follow me on Instagram @thelifestylelady you would have seen Little L and I enjoying the rest of Saturday afternoon in the driveway with chalk. Sometimes it is the simple things which can bring the most pleasure.
Mr L and I spent Friday and Saturday evening in one of our favorite ways, catching up on movies which we can no longer go to the movies to see, while enjoying a little wine. Friday night we watched Deepwater Horizon, this is a busman’s holiday movie for Mr L who works in the industry (not BP.) He had wanted to avoid it because he wondered how it would be portrayed. I felt lucky to be watching with an industry expert because he could really explain some of the science. Emotionally it touched us both so much, the power of nature and negligence. Saturday night we watched The Accountant, I have a confession I fell asleep half way through and ended up re-watching on Sunday. This was a little action over substance for me, not one of Mr Affleck’s best. Sunday morning I met up with a Dallas friend who was in Houston for a Bachelorette, it is always great to catch up even briefly. The rest of Sunday was spent doing my 15 point plan, if you missed that post please click on the link, it has certainly been popular. In continuation of that today I bring you part 2 of my make up declutter which is focusing on mascara. I am sharing with you ones I have liked and loathed and why. Please enjoy
Until next time!

Howdy Y’all,
Happy Wednesday friends, I do hope your week is going well, we are experiencing lovely weather at the moment, unseasonably warm which means one thing, being outside. I notice a visible improvement in the behavior and mood of Little L and I when we are able to be out enjoying the sunshine. If you follow me on Instagram @thelifestylelady you will see a photo of Little L and I having ice cream well you will see I was having none, no sharing allowed apparently.
I think I have mentioned before that I am suffering with a very small breakout of Milia so in my pursuit of fixing the problem I took a small trip to Ulta. In today’s video I talk all about Milia, my skincare and some other sneaky little goodies I picked up. Please enjoy.

Howdy Y’all,
How the devil are you? I feel in good spirits mainly because the weather is so bloody lovely here at the moment. I find it to be true that the weather can alter your mood. I had a wonderful time today having lunch with Little L at the park, there was nobody else around but us and some noisy birds and we had a fab time. I am so proud and amazed at how much she has physically developed over the past weeks, she is climbing like a champ. She is growing so fast, I am so enjoying the conversations we now share, especially in the car, well I say conversation it usually takes the form of her telling me and her quite often being correct (she is 3!!)
Have you been watching Victoria? It is the new offering from PBS, for my UK and Europe followers I know us in the US are late to the party. I will be honest and say I was not sure the first two weeks but now it seems to have found its rhythm and I’m loving it, especially with the arrival of Prince Albert. I do love me a period drama, I think it is because I can kick back, relax, be entertained and enjoy the beauty of the past. I am looking forward to next week. Speaking of exciting viewing, Little L and I saw the new trailer for Beauty and the Beast, I will confess I was a little concerned by some of the cast choices but it looks superb, perhaps a little scary in places but we can not wait to go see it. Only a month or so to wait.
Thinking about time can you believe that we are now approaching February? 2017 is flying ahead with full force, with this in mind it is time for my January Favorites. This month has a few beauty items, both makeup and skincare, but also some other Lifestyle faves. Please pour yourself a cuppa/wine depending on the time of your viewing and enjoy.
Ta Ta for now.

Howdy Y’all,
How are y’all today? Today I need to get back to the gym so that is my mission, I hope not to fail, what are your plans this week? How was your weekend? Mine was good, it started Friday when I went antiquing, it did me good to get out and have a giggle with a friend, I purchased a few small things. Little items for the house. Is that something you might be interested in? I could do a haul, let me know. I love items with a history/story to it, perhaps it is the Brit in me.
On Saturday we had friends to dinner, I was a little disappointed with the pie I made, it didn’t go as well as usual but ho-hey, dessert was good and quite frankly that is the best bit. Sunday was a little quiet which secretly I like, I have a little list of things I like to do on a Sunday to make my week run more efficiently, maybe I will do a post about it. I have perfected a system which makes me face a new week with a positive outlook. Another little gem was that Mr L got a new car, I secretly love to see him happy, even if I give him a little stick. I am happy to see him enjoying the fruits of his labor. It is well deserved for him, he is always kind and generous to others so I love seeing his uncontrollable smile.
Today’s video is about purging, when I arrived back from the UK part of my rehabilitation was to get the home back in a routine, I love the fresh perspective that some distance from home gives me. I don’t set myself unreliable expectations but slowly cover the areas where I need to sort or purge. Today my video covers makeup in particular face makeup. This week I want to get sorted on my kitchen going through draws and getting rid of clutter and equipment I don’t need or use, it is so uplifting and cathartic. Wish me luck.
Enjoy your week friends.
Ta Ta for now,

Howdy Y’all,
Long time no speak, I am back from a wonderful trip home, I promise a long post all about it very soon. How are y’all? We had a good weekend here at Casa Lifestyle, Little L went to a party and thoroughly enjoyed herself. It was wonderful to see her making friends and it felt like we are finally making this home. We also bought a fridge which makes my life sound so exciting, it is for the garage but should make life easier. Other than that we were organizing and purging the garage and house, it always takes me a week or two to get back into the swing of things and have the house back on schedule. The transition was made easier when I found the little black and white box of Sephora Play on my doorstep. So today’s video is all about the January box. Please enjoy.
Ta Ta for now

Howdy Y’all!
Happy New Year! I am still away and enjoying the peace and quiet of home, spending quality time with friends and family, enjoying our last week before our January officially starts. Todays video is all about product empties, things I have used to the last drop, with lots of great sales going on I thought it might give you some inspiration to give something new a try. Any of the products mentioned you love? Anything I should try?
How was your NY? Any resolutions your planning? I am thinking about goals for this my blog at the moment that I hope to share with y’all very soon!
Ta Ta for now.

Howdy Y’all,
Firstly I hope you are enjoying the magic of the season and have had a wonderful Christmas. After Christmas is the start of the sale season and lots of great deals are to be had, during the Sephora VIB Rouge sale I purchased the Sephora Favorites Superstar pack, I wanted to review what Sephora consider to be favorites and workhorses in the cosmetics world. I thought this might be useful to y’all if you were interested in any of the items individually or if you wanted to purchase the pack. I will tell you that many of the items I was not that familiar with but have been using thoroughly throughout the festive season and I have found one of two LL loves in the process, in particular the Clinique highlighter and the Tarte bronzer. So sit back pour a drink and enjoy. I will update you with what I have been up to recently very soon.
Ta Ta for now.
