Pretty Powerful- giveaway
Thursday, September 29, 2011 
When Bobbi Brown asked me to write about my inspiration, I didn't need to think twice. My mum (as seen here in Spain, circa 1974, picking oranges from a cooler- tres glam) is the most inspirational person in my life. She's the strongest person I know, dresses beautifully in outfits of grey and tonal beige and always looks fabulous. Plus, she's bloody good at putting lipstick on using the rear view mirror whilst driving. She's held our family together through the toughest times I've ever experienced and she's always supported our decisions, even when I told her I was moving across the world for a boy. And she's never once said I told you so when I've called crying with homesickness and feeling sorry for myself.
Thanks mum.
So, to celebrate just how awesome my mum is, Bobbi Brown is giving away this rather lovely Pretty Powerful makeup palette. To enter, leave a comment on this post and tweet using the twitter button below, making sure you use the hashtag #prettypowerful. Winner chosen at random next week.

I see where you get your incredible style from! Your mom is lovely!
Mum's are wonderful inspiration. My Mum is so strong. She raised 4 children on her own when my Dad passed away when I was 11. I only hope I can be an inspiration to my baby girl when she grows up. C xo
