The horrible weather this week did little to dampen all the great things that I love this week<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking on blogging panel<\/h2>\n

Once again, we shared our thoughts on how brands and bloggers<\/strong> can work together at the Bloggers Relation Forum<\/strong> hosted by Switched on Media<\/strong>. Read my manifesto<\/a><\/strong> if you aren’t sure what my thoughts on the topic are.<\/p>\n

Christmas dinner\u00a0with\u00a0girlfriends<\/h2>\n

An annual Christmas get together\u00a0with\u00a0girlfriends, led me drinking far too much, going\u00a0home\u00a0to the wrong house and\u00a0then\u00a0having to walk 30 mins on my own to the right one. A story that will not get lived down for some time.<\/p>\n

Eco Hair and Skin Products<\/h2>\n
\"Eco<\/a>

Eco store hair and skin products<\/p><\/div>\n

I love the idea of eco products, but really don’t get that excited by them as I have used different ones before and they just don’t seem to work. I was given the opportunity to try a range of natural skin care products from Eco Store<\/strong> <\/a>and I have to admit that I really love them.<\/p>\n

The soaps are absolutely divine, and my favourite has to be lemongrass. Being a lover of all things Thai, it is one of my favourite herbs to use in cooking. It is now one of my favourite soaps. I find them really soft and gentle on my skin.<\/p>\n

The shampoo and conditioner has really shocked me into how good it is, leaving my hair soft and silky. I do not feel like any of the natural goodness has been stripped from it and it looks so full of life.<\/p>\n

\"Savannah\"<\/a>

joy<\/p><\/div>\n

I am a fan and will become a regular customer of their products. I feel quite confident to try their cleaning range now; I think they may actually work and I can help the environment and the health of my family’s skin at the same time.<\/p>\n

Mari Smith’s book on The New Relationship Marketing<\/h2>\n

So many golden nuggets of information in this book and I am only a little way in. Mari is really a lovely lady as well- very\u00a0authentic, bubbly, and offers valuable information. We have learned so much from her about facebook over the past couple of years, and this book is amazing for offering so much more.<\/p>\n

Song of the Week: Foo Fighters\u00a0Best of You<\/h2>\n

I’ve been watching Foo Fighter<\/strong> concerts on MTV all week, feeling so jealous that I was not there. I so want to see the Foo live. Their concerts look intense! I’m also currently reading the Dave Grohl biography. I love his passion and energy<\/p>\n

I had to share a Foo song- so hard to choose one as there are so\u00a0many\u00a0great ones.<\/p>\n

Empowering Quote<\/h2>\n

“Balance is the perfect state of still water. Let that be our model. It remains quiet within and is not disturbed on the surface”<\/em>– Confucious<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What I am reading<\/h2>\n

Three things I know to be true<\/a><\/strong> by Jeff Goins Love this post. I need to write my own.<\/p>\n

Goodbye South America<\/strong> <\/a>by Brendan’s adventures I can relate to this post having said goodbye to so many places that stole a little of my heart<\/p>\n

30 Brilliant Social Media Marketing Tips from 2011<\/a><\/strong> by Hub spot<\/p>\n

I guess I’m not a Romantic Person<\/a><\/strong> by Zoey at Good Googs Love this “The wedding was words and then when our babies were born those words came to life. And all of a sudden they were smiling back at us. And there was so much of me and so much of him I couldn\u2019t tell where I stopped and he began.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Guest post on Muddled up Mumma<\/h2>\n
