Philosophy - Skin Care and Beauty Products

Philosophy is now one of my favourite skin care and beauty brands. The products have such an elegant feel to them and of course smell divine. Their products range from heavenly bath and body shower gels and soaps to lip glosses and shines. Recently while visiting Hawaii, I had a quick trip to Sephora where I instantly fell in love with the Philosophy Birthday Girl Set, which came with the Vanilla Birthday Cake lip gloss and the Vanilla Birthday Cake Shower Gel/Shampoo/Bubble bath. Check out their gorgeous website here, and a treat yourself or someone else to one of their lovely products.

A Weekly Fantasy: Be A Friend and Make a Friend

Over the past year, I have really been struggling with my friendships and having friends that I knew would be there for me. So I changed my way of thinking and instead of it being other peoples problems, decided that nothing would ever get better unless I changed the way I thought of it and the way I was acting. So after changing my way of thinking things have begun to get better, and I am thinking more positively and happily.

So the Weekly Fantasy for this week is to be a better friend to people around me and then to hopefully make new friends. What is life without your friends? Not a good one ... trust me. Friends are there for you when you need comforting, when you need someone to talk too, when you need someone to support you, and of course when you need to have some fun. So get out there and do the same, make some new life long friendships :)

The Flower Shop

After a lot of thinking about what I want to achieve in life, who I am and what makes me happy, I decided that I needed to change my blog name. Tea Party At Harrods wasn't really me and my blog didn't feel mine. So I decided that one of the things that makes me so happy in life are flowers and shopping, so what better name than The Flower Shop. I want this blog to be not just about fashion but about things I do on my adventure through life, things about travel and food, and things about happiness. I now feel completely and utterly happy with my blog name and whenever I look at it, it just seems right. I hope you all like it too. 

Lots of love

Handing you Happiness

Take a minute to sit back, relax and truely think about what happiness means to you. Does it mean going for a walk on a sunny day or spending some quality time with friends and family or even just lying down and listening to the birds wake up and sing to you in the morning? 

I know that for me happiness means watching the sunset light up the world in colours that are nearly impossible to re-create, it means spending some time with my mum and having a nice chat, it means baking something that I am proud of, that I can then sit down and eat while full of joy, it means treating myself to something from my favourite shop, it means designing something new and beautiful to me. 

The list doesn't stop there but if I told you everything we would be here for days. Now think about what you enjoy and make a list for yourself. Do something from that list everyday and give yourself something to look forward too. Happiness is the key to life. 

Lots of love

Flower Power

Flowers seem to have a way of making everything better, and they smell divine. They come in so many different colours and will just brighten up your day. You can buy them practically anywhere or even cut a few from your garden if you have some that grow there! You can buy them for yourself, for a family member or for a friend. Flowers are gorgous and are guarenteed to make you feel happier! 

Lots of Love
