£5 Free Mobile Credit | Technological Thursday

Hello There!

Today I just wanted to sing the praises of GiffGaff the mobile network.

And if you want to get £5 free credit on Giffgaff and to order a SIM, just click the link below:

As far as the network coverage goes, everything's great - Giffgaff runs off the O2 network. There's great signal (even in the hills in Wales), and the internet is a great speed. 

They are such a flexible network, it's amazing. There are a variety of different rolling contracts that will suit anyone and everyone:

I'm a fan of the £5 hokey cokey goodybag - and it's just got even better! I've used it for the past year and it didn't have the internet included in it before. It's perfect for me because most people call me to talk to me so I get a minute back for every minute they call me - so I hardy ever run out!

And if you don't want a contract you can just add credit and it's still amazing value because they have the lowest rates for individual calls and texts. They also offer 20mb internet use for only 20p a day - way cheaper than the likes of Vodafone (£1 for 25mb).

There are also gigabags you can get - bags of data at low cost if you're an avid internet user, and for an extra £2.50 a month you can add on Blackberry services too, and there are micro sims available...

As long as you top-up once every three months you get free giffgaff-to-giffgaff calls and texts so it's great for families and friends to keep in touch - just spread the word.

I hope I've persuaded you to try GiffGaff - you won't regret it!

Ciao for now, G x

Motivational Mantra of the Month 3 | May 2013

Hello There!

So, week 3 of mantras for May. We're coming to the middle of exam time, so as motivation until the end of the exams I'm sharing with you this quote:

There are two different quotes here, but both of them say the same thing. Things may be difficult now, but if you keep at it then they can only get easier. 

There's not much else that I can say really, but I find this a comfort when I find what I'm doing challenging  - I even used it when I was teaching myself HTML which has been very challenging at times.

I hope this helps to spur you on with whatever you find challenging at the moment, being at work or exams or even if you're learning a new skill :)

The Body Shop 48 Hour Sale | My Collection | A Little Bit Obsessed

Hello There!

Today I'm sharing the love for the Body Shop. First - they're having a 48hr sale at the moment, so get onto their website!!!

I started going through a Body Shop obsession last year, and I realised the other day just how many of their products I've accumulated...

I love Body Shop skincare products. They always smell incredible and last forever. They're also so so so nourishing, and I always feel good when I buy from their shops because they're completely ethical and you always know there's only good stuff going into their products!

If you haven't tried Body Shop body butters, then I don't know where you've been hiding.  They smell amazing and the scent lasts forever - I remember the first time I found out about them, my friend walked in and the whole room filled with coconut, it was so delicious - I had to get me some of that. And that was my first body butter. And somehow my collection's just grown and grown :)

I'm also a fan of the nutriganics range and enjoy using their day cream and eye cream. They're a really light formula and absorb really easily into the skin. The only flaw I've found is that not quite thick enough for my insanely dry skin, but if I'm having a 'good skin' day, then they're what I reach for.

The final two things that I'm talking about are their lip balms and their soaps. I always have a Body Shop lip balm in my bag. I'm not a fan of their lip butters because they're really thick and sticky on my lips, but their lip balms are the perfect formula to keep my lips well hydrated. Their soaps are another way to try their great smelling products if you're not after a statement scent - you enjoy it just while you're washing your hands and it doesn't fill the room at the same time - your own little bit of scent excitement :)

If you don't want to spend a lot of money then those two are the best products to look at - at £2 and £3 you really can't go wrong. 

Another thing that I think is a great is their loyalty card. It's not the same as a Boots advantage card where you gain points, more like a Starbucks card. It costs £5 for a year but you automatically get that back in your birthday month. You get a stamp for every purchase you make over £10 and when you reach 4 and 8 stamps you get money off your next trip there. There's also 10% off all orders and usually they have a 20% for card-holders once a year. Just add it to your basket when you're on the website. 
It's definitely worked well for me!

Do you feel the love for the Body Shop?
