This week #11 - Meerkats, Recommend me a Book & A Question.

This week has been one of those nothing-really-happened weeks. Sometimes I wish I had the kind of life where traveling the world and hitting up lots of fun parties was the norm. But mostly I'm comfortable with things exactly how they are. I think we all need some time to, well, not do very much at all. That was this week for me.

I scheduled posts for the week last weekend so I had no excuses not to be working on my university assignment and I've really missed reading through my bloglovin' feed and replying to comments. I did get my assignment finished though thank goodness, although I needed a few late nights and emergency gin! ;)

I was lucky enough to win Rachel's giveaway and I was so so excited when a parcel with lots of goodies from all the way from across the world fell through my letterbox at the beginning of last week. I adore this make up bag so much and I've already stuffed it full of my everyday essentials. I'm really looking forward to trying out the blush from Canmake, the colours look stunning and they're exactly the kind of shades I love to wear.

And this little notebook has already been adopted as a place for me to write down all things blog related, it's the perfect size for always having close by. There were so many other lovely things inside that I'm also really excited for - thank you so much, Rachel!

We had to buy home insurance (boring!) but to make it a little more fun we compared the meerkat and a few weeks later little Oleg arrived on our doorstep. Seriously, cutest freakin' thing ever! I think all boring purchases should come with something as cute as this!

This wouldn't usually be my kind of song, but it's so catchy I've been singing it all week and I'm not tired of it yet. It was officially released at midnight and Sam seems like such a nice guy that it's nice to see him doing so well.

For the rest of the weekend I'm going to catch up with some of the the Winter Olympics (I'm in awe of all people who can do amazing things on slippery snow when I can barely stand on solid ground!) and start a new book. I'm torn between Stardust by Neil Gaiman and Wonder by R. J. Palacio. Have you read either? Which would you recommend?

As a little thank you to you for always being so lovely I'm planning a little make up & beauty giveaway. Would you prefer to win a few pretty things from the drugstore or one higher end product? I'm not sure which to go for!

Are you having a lovely weekend? 

Love, Jennie
