:: Pamper Swap ::

A little while ago the lovely April from april, maybe hosted a swap with an awesome theme - pamper. And really, who doesn't like to be pampered? Obviously, I signed up immediately! One of the things I loved about this swap was that April made sure the person sending you your package was a surprise.

I was given the crafty Hannah to send my pamper package to. Unfortunately, her blog is down right now, otherwise I'd show you the post where she wrote about what I sent her. Instead, I'll show you pictures! Be warned, there are a few - I was testing out my new lens!

A cute little Olga Berg coin purse.
Hand-made soap and hot oil for her hair.
Mineral eye shadow and red lip gloss.
Earrings from Gracie's etsy shop and a bejewelled bracelet.
A Mimco hair tie (I adore these. I have three - pink, grey and white!).
"You can't help but love a lady who is not afraid to do nanna craft". Hannah loves to crochet, which I think is so cool!

This past week I've been a bit under the weather and while I was wallowing in my own self-pity guess what arrived at my door! My pamper package from the wonderful Lauryn of laureality! Perfect timing!

Lovely, lovely! A chocolate face masque, sweet mint lip balm, bamboo nail files, a pineapple orchid candle, and a wonderful package full of body products!
The lip gloss is 100% natural and 95% organic - gotta love that!
I love the floral card she included too, and even though the candle melted a teeny bit the smell is AMAZING! I love coming home and smelling the sweet smell wafting down the hall.
Earth-friendly body wash, body lotion, hand cream and body mist! Yes please!

Thank you so much Lauryn! I love my gift! And thank you to April for organising it all!

What's your favourite way to pamper yourself? I love taking time out to have a bit of 'me' time. I love trying out new eye shadow, getting a facial, or slathering myself in delicious smelling body lotion. Mmm!

  1. This swap sounded really wonderful. I have a very similar bracelet to the one you sent Hannah :-) my favourite way to pamper myself is to get a massage. I am actually getting one on my day off tomorrow. Thanks for your sweet messages on my blog they always make my day.

  4. I'm so sorry that the candle was melted! It's been really warm here this month, it must have been sitting in the heat somewhere. So glad you're enjoying your package though! :)

  8. I love that you both sent such lovely things to each other. This would have been such a wonderful swap.
    I definitely love massages to pamper myself. Or even getting a haircut and blow dry is a pampering too. x

  10. Lauryn is lovely. She was my partner in Micaela's first ever Christmas ornament swap! And this past spring she sent me a fantastic package of goodies.

    I could do with some pampering right about now. Too many stressful things going on that I'd really rather not have to deal with. A massage or a facial might help me to cope!
