A Few Last Minute Things....

Hello!

In a few days [4!] I will be leaving for RUSSIA! I'm staying for 1 week, in both Moscow and St.Petersburg, and so with the count down to departure underway and the majority of things packed- we're leaving at 3:30am!- its now a case of picking up last minute bits and making sure I have everything I need.

So today I popped into town to do just that! Yes, this is a completely random, unrelated post, but I like that :) I had to get a few boring things; hairbands and lip balm [wild I know] but also needed to get two, reasonably inexpensive blankets because I hate sleeping in hotels beds. Its strange, but I hate it- especially since the hotel's we're staying in are...not too appealing; massive, old Soviet monsters with over 2000 rooms!

Luckily, I managed to find 2 blankets in the Primark home section for only £3 each. They're cheap, thin and will probably not survive for much longer than a week, but they'll definitely serve a purpose.

 

 

Actually, they're really sweet! As you can see from the picture, they're a deep red colour with cute little owls patterned all over. I think they'd be really great for winter- the red colour is gorgeous.

A positive of them being super thin is that they will fit easily in my suitcase and won't take up very much room- that means more space for souvenirs!

Whilst browsing in Boots, I managed to redeem a voucher for a free sample of Lancome's new skin corrector that I'd found in a recent issue of 'Red' magazine. It's a new product from the Lancome range- Visionnaire Skin Perfecter- meant for those over 35 who have wrinkles and sun spots, to be applied at night. Hopefully, I won't need this product just yet, so I'll pass it on to my Mum to try out. It's a nice little sample nonetheless!

Hope you enjoyed this random post about some very unrelated items?!
