Dia daoibh!

Dia daoibh.

Did you know that Avon is not just a door to door make up company? Behind the brand is a whole other world.

I just received the scoop that today Ms. Alesha Dixon (singer-songwriter, dancer, model and television personality -judge on Strictly Come Dancing) has been officially announced as the newest member of the Avon Family for Ireland & the UK. She is now spokeswoman for Avon's make-up category and it's domestic violence cause. Avon Ireland has raised over €35,000 for it's domestic violence charity partners which includes Women's Aid, to help end violence against women. This is a massive issue and while it may seem impossible, all awareness raised will be a positive thing.

Her first beauty campaign will see her launching Avon's latest foundation innovation - Ideal Flawless. The Ideal Flawless range will offer Avon’s widest shade selection (great to hear!!) with Alesha appearing in brochures from February 2012. How beautiful does she look here!

Alesha's official title is "Beauty and Empowerment Ambassador". Avon is not just a brochure full of lots of goodies. For years they have been raising awareness on another topic. The Avon Breast Cancer Crusade is another cause that you may be aware of. Quoting from Avon.ie: "With the help of Representatives, customers and friends over €963,000 has been raised for Irish charities (1998 – 2010) primarily ARC Cancer Support." This is a massive figure and it will only grow with the backing of supporters and Avon customers.

As of customer of Avon's for about 10 years now, I urge you to take a look at a brochure if available to you. Alternatively you can view it online HERE or find out where your nearest representative is (or become one yourself!) If you're going to treat yourself to something why not feel extra good about it by supporting the "Speak Out About Domestic Violence" crusade. Some beautiful jewellery pieces (with an infinity symbol) are available.

Avon's official Facebook is HERE where you can find up to date information, photos, reviews and offers. If you're free at 2pm today (15/11/11) Alesha Dixon herself will be online for a Q&A! She will also be taking over the AVONUK Twitter at 1:30pm. Exciting! Get your questions ready!!

EDIT
Today Thursday 8th March 2012 is International Women's Day and Avon are encouraging ladies to wear their Empowerment Necklaces. The necklaces are €4.50, and all proceeds go directly to the Women's Aid charity, who are working to end violence against women.I'm wearing mine, are you?

 This came as a set of two for £3.95/€4.50

The rings are adjustable but fit me perfectly as they are. 

These lilac flower earrings were also £3.95/€4.50. They are also available in a peachy cream colour and in a mint colour. (which I am more than likely going to buy also!)

Good morning all.

I awoke this morning to a massive bang on the door and two belts of the doorbell. Still in my pj's (obvs like, it was only 8:15!) I opened to find the post man. Not my usual one, but a postman none the less. He was eerily cheery but I forgave him for interrupting my sleep when I saw the ASOS box in his hands. They are currently having their final clearance sale, so with the last few euro I had in my account (*sob*) I decided to get something. Here's what I got. Just two little things, but I was delighted to see that they came in this gorgeous elegant black Asos box.

 I have probably mentioned this before, but like many others, I am a complete sucker for packaging. I feel like "sucker" is the wrong word though. I think any delivery to a customer should arrive presentable. If your package comes neatly and nicely, you're automatically going to be impressed and happy before you even see what's inside (presuming that what is inside is just as nice!!)

 First item is this gorgeous feather necklace. This was on sale from €12.82 to €3.85. It's still available HERE if you want to have a look. It's also available in a gold version with a coral stone HERE

 The second item I bought, is this beauty. As you can see it's a little silver butterfly ring. This was down from €7.69 to just €1.92!!! It's still available (surprisingly) in sizes small and medium HERE Mine is a size small.

Hi Ladies.

Here are some jewellery bits and bobs I brought off ebay. I bidded on all of these items so prices vary.

Here are some up close pics. This lot are from HERE

Here is my second order:

These first two came from the same seller as above HERE

HERE is the ring sizer I printed out to find out what size I was. Have you ever ordered jewellery from ebay?

Hello old and new followers. Just want to point out that I'm nearing the 50 followers mark, and if I do reach that I will be holding a small giveaway just to show my gratitude - and simply to do something nice for someone who took time out of their day to read my posts!

Ok now onto the good stuff!! This lot below is what I purchased while I was in Dublin last Sunday when I met these gals:

Aoife     Julie     Kate     Katie     Louise     Sandra     Sarah
