Finally I feel that spring is here.

The dark and gloomy nights are behind us once again as every where you look flowers are beginning to appear. From an array of snow drops and bluebells to crocuses to daffodils and tulips. An arrange of colours which seem to brighten up everyone’s mood especially when the sun is shining too!

They’re in gardens, along the roadside, in windows boxes and patio tubs.  I love nothing more than a bunch of daffodils in a vase on my window sill.  They don’t cost much and only last a few days but that doesn’t matter to me i can just go out and buy some more!

Gone are the freezing nights and frosty days.  Spring is finally here, marked by the daffodils gradually springing up everywhere at last!

So, time to shed your layers of clothing and that include layers of chunky beads around your neck and the numerous collection of bracelets on your wrist too.

A new range from Henri Bendel was bursting with color to celebrate the expansion of Molly Sims‘ jewelry empire with the introduction of Grayce by Molly Sims The Collection.  It’ll add some summer sparkle to any ladies jewellery collection and make the transition from daytime to evening so much easier.

The collection includes  braided gold bracelets to layers of gold chains and chunky colored crystal earrings and all at an affordable price too which is definitely a bonus!

Fashion jewellry is huge at the moment and a definite must to have in your closet.  The variety of beads around is fabulous and they help to brighten up all those gloomy dark jumpers and tops you probably have lurking in the back of your wardrobe!

It pays to shop around though.  I was looking for some big chunky pearls in a choker necklace for most high street shops they were at least £15.  Too much for me really as I have a massive collection.  So you can imagine my delight when I found the exact match to what I was looking for in Sainsbury’s for only a fiver!  They look perfect, everyone comments on them and certainly don’t look like I’ve only paid that amount for the.  Supermarket jewelery shopping IS the way forward for me now!

Mothers Day is getting bigger and more commercialised than ever.  The cards appear in the shops months before the set date and the bouquets of flowers are getting bigger and more extravagant too.

So,  here are some ideas for spoiling you Mum on her own very special day;

• Flowers – small bunch of daffs or a lavish bouquet of flowers – depending on your budget.
• Plant or shrub for the garden
• Box of Choccies – always goes down well as long as shes not dieting for the summer already!
• Go out for a meal
• Stay in and avoid the manic and cook her favorite food
• Get the family together for the day cause I bet you’ve not been since Christmas!

I bought my mun a purse….a bit different but she’d been looking at it the week before so although not a typical ‘Mothers Day’ gift it was one that was appreciated all the same.

I am rubbish with all flowers and plants whether they are in the garden or in the house – I forget to water them which is not a good thing really is it?

I’ve had a plant in my bathroom recently and have been determined to keep this one alive for longer than a week.  Luckily it doesn’t need that much looking after just a bit of water every now and again – but even that I have forgotten.  Having spent the majority of last week at my boyfriends I went into my bathroom on my return and low and behold my plant was looking a bit sorry for itself and was as dry as a bone!

A little water and attention and it soon perked up again.  But think I’m best with artificial plants from now on and it’s a good job I don’t have a cat as I’d probably forget to feed and water that if I wasn’t at home!
