Top Ten Websites

In quick succession to the first... here comes my second post whilst I'm still keen and eager.

I'd like to share my favourite ten websites in the whole world. Some you will have heard of, some not, and some deserve some extra publicity for being what keeps me going through a boring lunch hour (or lecture!).

www.etsy.com
The home of everything handmade, sure there is a lot of things I wouldn't buy, but there are so many gems on here and genuine talent. A favourite of mine is here... http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5868

www.autosport.com
At heart I'm a confused girl who enjoys makeup and Meccano in equal measures. As such, I ended up being an Engineer, and have had the pleasure of working in high end motor racing, but make sure I have a little bit of time every day to luxuriate in playing with some beautiful colours. Autosport is the best website for all things motorsport, including weekly updated jobs that I wait for in anticipation. (I'm doing a Masters year at the moment and can't wait to get back into working life!).
For my day to day makeup, Bobbi Brown is beautiful and doesn't wreak havoc with my sensitive skin. I love how the lady herself gives confidence to women of whatever age though should ease of the blush in some cases.

www.sniffpetrol.com
If you like Formula One, you will love SniffPetrol. It takes the mick of all that is good and bad in the sport and will leave you laughing to yourself whilst friends question your sanity.
No words can do this justice; beautiful, performance makeup with an unparalled edginess. Yes, I am a geek for MAC.
Whether you're keeping on top of the news, or learning something new, the Beeb does it well.
If this offends anyone, then I apologise in advance. But this is my favourite place for bras (not anything else, cheeky!).
Mainly for music videos and the awesome makeup tutorials available.
The answer to my prayers, a site that lets me print of sewing patterns at a reduced rate that I can access online whenever I want. With brands such as Vogue, Simplicity and McCalls there are not many better pattern shops online.
This appeals to my thrifty side, bargains are out there if you put the work in.

Until next time....

Introductions

Well hello there.

It's a rare night in on my own so I thought I'd write the first post of my spanking new blog.

Like most people, I have more than one blog but I wanted to start afresh with a bit more structure, thought and ideas!

I'm not sure how this will unfold. At the moment there are so many things I want to talk about; fashion, beauty, new recipes and all my crafty goings on for a credit crunching Christmas.

So, if we're all sitting comfortably.... I'll begin.
