I needed a new purse

My old purse was on it's last legs, pretty much destroyed. So I've been on the look out for a new one for months. Why months? Because I'm super fussy with bags and purse. They must be beautiful  and equaly practical.

I'm a hoarder so I keep on my receipts, train tickets, film stubs etc. etc. Which means I need a fairly big purse, but at the same time it's got to fit in my slightly tiny handbags, but it also has to be able to double as a clutch in case I don't want to take a handbag out.

So finding a purse I love is difficult. I find one and think it's lovely, but not quite perfect, and carry on the hunt.

But I think I've cracked it this time. There's a little boutique in Falmouth called Dizzy and it sells lots of lovely things including clothes, jewelry, bags and obviously purses. Looking though the shelves of purses this immediately  caught my eye because of the colours. Then I looked a little closer, it's a marvel purse!! Yes it's covered in cells from marvel comics. I looked lovely, it had comic books on it and low and behold when I opened it it fanned out super big. I was on to a winner. Now for the final check. The price. Now for something that's going to carry my money around, I don't want ti to clean me out so I have nothing to put in it. £11.95. Bargain. So I scooped it up and started looking around the rest of the shop. There's a few necklaces in there I might go back for when I've got a few more pennies.

If you ever happen to be in Falmouth, Dizzy is a lovely shop to find a few quirky bits in.

Anyone else have their own favorite boutiques in their town/city? And secret treasures you feel like sharing?

10 thing I love about coconut oil

One product I keep re-buy every time it's empty is Superdrug coconut oil. Retailing for £1.99 (just found a tenner mixed up in all my receipts trying to find the price, win) usual on a two for offer.

1) It's multipurpouse. Hair, skin, even cooking. Well I don't use it for cooking but apparently you can. Maybe not this brand tho...

2) It's a solid until you touch it then it melts into an oil. Which means when you (I) drop it on the floor it doesn't spill every where and it's wasted.

3) The price. I spend £1.99 every 2-3 months for a moisturiser, hair mask, itch relief cream, etc etc. I really don't need any other hair product as this is amazing, I'm just a sucker for trying new things.
