Cupcakes & Beauty

Sarah & Emma friends on Facebook sent me some lovely things through the post which arrived at the weekend.

Sarah, has a cake making business (she does this in her spare time).  See her Facebook page here.  You can also follow her on Twitter @bakingmakingetc. She sent me some yummy cupcakes topped with rosewater icing nom nom! All the way from Hampshire (as well as a huge pile of beauty products).

Emma, who blogs at Em's Mixed Bag sent me gorgeous Anne Semonin goodies which included two masks, shampoo and bath & shower gel. Thanks Emma! Follow Emma on Twitter @emsmixedbag1.

I'll be doing reviews on the beauty products once I've tried them out.
