Confession…I did not participate in any Royal Wedding Celebrations. Yes, I drooled over the dress, but that was about it. I think I was so over-saturated with the hype that I let the big day pass me by (and I admit now, I regret it).
I thought it unlikely that anything Royal Wedding related would catch my attention, but forgot the power of Twitter and my friends over at Bean Cellar.
You see,
they tweeted that they were munching on Royal Wedding themed jelly beans. I replied in disgust, that I had no jelly beans (I have a serious addiction) and seconds later I had an e-mail, and a couple of days later I have this.

Genius. Utter genius.

For those who don’t know, Bean Cellars are a website dedicated to all things jelly bean! Their quirky bottles of beans make the perfect present for all occasions and you can also buy by the flavour (right up to 4.5kg which is like, a weeks supply, right?)
The prices are fantastic, starting at £2.99 for a bottle of individual flavour beans.

Is there any better way to thank a friend?

Or say Happy Birthday?

My flavour of choice. I know, I’m in the minority here but OH MY SO GOOD!

Check out the shop for the full range of gifts. What’s your flavour?

P.S. Bean Cellars did not ask me to write this post. I’m doing it because I love them and I LOVE jelly beans.

Wow, has it not been an utterly gorgeous weekend so far? Yesterday was pretty good, Mum and I popped in to work for training that wasn’t to be
(oh yes, our super new computer system that launches on my birthday apparently doesn’t work at weekends…which is fine, ya know, we all need time off BUT we run a Saturday surgery!) Fail.

Beside that, it did mean Mum and I had longer in town. I feel a bit sorry for Mum, she had to deal with my PMS-y irritability and my “oh my god, crowds, heat, I might pass out” tendencies (Becca, I’m hoping this passes by next weekend, I wouldn’t inflict that on you darling!). Despite my…quirks, we had an ace time. It wasn’t toooo busy anywhere except Primark, and really, we should have known better!

I managed to score a dress in River Island that I’d wanted to buy via ASOS at £39.99 in the sale for £20…one left. My size. Thanks. I also grabbed a dress and a few random bits in Primark…but I think mainly I bought non clothes things!

A duvet, £8 in Primark! I’ve never bought myself a duvet before (haa) so this was a novel experience for me. Oh and Paperchase, how I love that store. Dinky cup, snacky box and pen…I needed none of them, but could not leave without.

Other highlights this week;

Suprise post from Matalan! who also sent along a copy of their swimwear look book. I don’t *do* swimwear but still found plenty so hanker after. Ohh and penpal letters. I <3 my penpals.

My favourite piece.

The weather…the glorious weather. It’s making me hyper. I just love it.

Cath Kidston Uniqlo tee. This delights me. Mum treated us to one each on payday. I want them all! The length and fit is perfect.

Thankfully the downsides this week have been few and far between. I am laying the blame for anything negative on hormones. Next time round I’m coming back as a man.

How has your week been?
