Dub-a-dee

When I was little I couldn't say "cup of tea" and said "dub-a-dee" instead. After that my dad would always ask me if I would like a dub-a-dee, even as a grown up he would still ask. He passed away in 1998, I wish he would still ask me if I want a dub-a-dee.

I love tea but I think I love the tea paraphernalia more. I love my knitted Chicken Teapot cozy and for years I have been trying to find another one for a friend. 

So pretty, Royal Albert tea cups. I got these on sale at David Jones in Chermside a few years ago and I have managed not to break any.

Little silver tea spoons with fruit and vegetables on the ends. An aunt from overseas sent these as wedding gift in 2001. I love the quirkiness of them. I really should have cleaned them before this photo but I was too lazy.

If you are looking for a dub-a-dee in Redcliffe, check out Teddies n' Sweets in Cominos Arcade. I have been checking out their High Tea menu. It does look like it would satisfy a greedy tea lovin' girl.

New War Paint

I have a few new additions to my beauty collection that I am loving at the moment. 

At the Ingot counter in North Lakes I bought a new eyebrow colour to put into my palette. I love the palettes from Ingot. They are magnetised and currently the small discs of eyeshadow are half price. They are usually $8 but currently $4.

Ojon Damage Reverse Oil $43. I was lucky enough to be sent this from Drop Dead Gorgeous Daily to try. You only need a few drops and your hair sucks it up. My dry ends squealed in delight when I rubbed the warmed oil on them.

I like that it has a dropper and I liked this photo, so I had to use it.

On the weekend Beautiful You was offering 30% off Youngblood so I bought my first Youngblood product. I couldn't resist this blush called Nectar. I usually go for pinks but decided to break away from old habits and try something new, I am completely in love with the natural, girly glow it gives me.

 Mmm, so pretty.

I also picked up some Redken Vinyl Twist from Beautiful You too. This stuff is fantastic, curl defining cream, it's pliable and adds structure and shine. I'll have to do my hair and take a photo for you.

On my wish list, I would love de Leon Cosmetics Lipgloss in Rogue demon hunter and eyeshadow in Indecent Exposure. This eyeshadow is the perfect base colour. I am in love with deLeon products. The colours are great and the textures are beautiful.
