Flapper what?

Oh dear oh dear all in black, very odd. Also I matched my socks to my hair, that's new huh? Although I'm loving the contrast between my hair and this old h&m hat. What a treat. Anyway I bought a magazine this week to keep up with the rest of the world. Now don't get me wrong I adore seeing the new season collections but seriously this was a wet offer. We are fed so much drivel and led to believe that's all that out there. That's untrue! Sure we all need a helping inspirational hand sometimes. But we need to think for ourselves, dig deep and work out our own inventions, from our own incredible imaginations. Not some out of date bitchy fashion editor.   

Where are my freebies?!

Hey, you, Magazine world! Where are all my freebies?

I have a collection of magazines I use for cut outs, decoupage (how posh), crafting and all sorts. A lot of these go as far back as 2005. Flicking through them, either for inspiration or ideas, I was reminded of the amazing freebies you used to get! And I'm not talking about the free mascara that comes with the magazine. I'm talking about the delightful surprise freebies, with-in the pages, waiting patiently for me to find.

You used to get at-least five free samples, whether that was a facial cream, a perfume, make-up foundation, there was quite a bit of choice. Usually, this would then lead me to actually buying the item, because at lease I knew then whether it was worth me spending the cash or not.

I'm always up for a bargain (or maybe I'm just cheap), but I think in our time of recession, the very least these mega-money company execs' could do, is pop in a little 1ml sachet of cream.

It would make the world a better place.
