Wednesday Wish: Frownies

Frownies, anti-aging facial patches for wrinkles on the forehead & between the eyes
Frownies anti-aging facial patches for wrinkles on the forehead & between the eyes – £17.50

I stare at some kind of screen for about 12 hours a day… every day. Laptop… television… phone… Add this to the fact that it took me about a year too long to go for an eye test & get myself a pair of glasses, I’ve started developing ‘elevens’. No, I didn’t know either that that’s the name of those vertical lines one gets between one’s eyebrows from squinting!

I’ll be slapping them on each night before bed and whenever I’m spending the day indoors… at least until they start producing them with retro patterns like those plasters you can get from Ikea – then I’ll rock them in public like a fashion accessory!

Who needs painful, expensive botox when there are Frownies?!

Handpresso Hybrid Outdoor Set
Handpresso Hybrid Outdoor Set: Fairfax Coffee – £135.00

Justin gave me a lovely espresso machine a couple of Christmases ago and it’s seen a lot of service – a quick pick me up before going out in the morning!

But what’s a girl to do when she’s out & about, miles away from a coffee shop and needs a fix? We’re off for a break to the Lake District soon so that scenario is highly likely to occur. Step forward the Handpresso Hybrid Outdoor Set… it’s the ultimate glamping accessory!

We normally talk about books in our Bookmarks blog series – but we’ve not seen this title yet as it is yet unpublished!

Artists’ Textiles 1940-1976 by Geoff Rayner, Richard Chamberlain and Annamarie Stapleton is due out later this month – so keep your eyes peeled for a review!

pair of Gudrun Sjoden mail order catalogues

I’ve loved Gudrun Sjödén‘s fashion for over a decade – it really my style. This pair of catalogues popped through in the post this week ad I can hold off buying no longer.

Striped, spotted & solid microfibre tights, from £13 per pair – Gudrun Sjödén

I am going to treat myself to a few pairs of the wonderfully colourful tights. It’s spring at the moment, but it’s still chilly enough to wear them!

Wednesday Wish: Nooka watch

Nooka Unisex Zot V Series Black Leather Watch ZOTBK
Nooka Unisex Zot V Series black leather watch: £215.00 – Amazon

OK, so I’ve already done a Wednesday Wish post about a timepiece – but this Nooka watch is SO unusual! Instead of the regular hands or LCD numbers, this one’s face displays an illuminated dot matrix for the hours and a horizontal bar for the minutes.

If you wore this on your wrist, it may take you a little bit longer to respond when someone asks, “Have you got the time?”
