Happy Birthday To My Favourite Prinny

When we set up this blog we struggled to know how to write it, we wanted enough of our personalities to shine through that you didn't think we were boring clones, but obviously we didn't really want to clutter it up with what we were doing (especially as we work. A lot. So that's yawn anyway). As such, we haven't really been ones to write about our personal life on here, but today I am changing all that. Not forever, obviously, just for today.

Because today, my favourite half of Smekah turns a whopping 19 years old. That's right guys, today, Bek enters her last year of being a teenager.

So happy birthday my favourite little Prin, have a fantastic day, continue being fabulous, don't ever change and lets make your nineteenth year one to remember.

Lots of love,

your best friend/sister from another mister/favourite prinny/person who convinces you to buy stuff/fellow daytripper/wifey/coffee provider,

p.s. I'm not sure if the word Prinny/Prin is a nationwide thing? For those of you who may be confused in Liverpool it's a really common word that means Princess.

Vaseline Spray & Go Body Moisturiser

I'm a moisturiser junkie, no doubt about it. I tend to buy any that are on offer, and that means that I usually have drawers and drawers full of bottles I've used literally once. Having said that, I couldn't just walk past when I saw Vaseline Spray & Go (£4.99/190ml and only available in Boots for the time being.) There are three different types Essential Moisture, Cocoa Radiant and Aloe Fresh. I tried Aloe Fresh and Cocoa Radiant but I wasn't keen on the smell of Aloe Fresh, so I settled for Cocoa Radiant instead.

I quite like the can, the whole design and idea makes it seems much more extravagant than the original moisturiser designs (which are still available). I wasn't entirely keen on the whole idea of the product though, I was worried getting the right amount of product would be difficult and it would either leave parts of me unmoisturised or it would be greasy and much too thick. I needn't have worried though, the spray distributes fairly evenly and goes on quite thin and watery (see the above right picture) and can literally be rubbed in straight away to leave no grease or residue (bottom right picture). It definitely lives up to the idea of spray and go, because although I can still feel it on my skin, it just feels soft and not "sticky" like other moisturisers (even the bottle version of this moisturiser, in fact.)

All in all, this is a call between whether you'd rather have ease or more money in your pocket. In my mind, there's absolutely no doubt that this is a more convenient product, after your shower you can spray and put your pyjamas straight on, in fact you could even do it before leaving to go out without worrying about your skin uncomfortably sticking to the residue, however it is more expensive than the traditional bottle version (which is £2.99/200ml), however I'm more than willing to spend that extra £2 just for the convenience.
