When I started writing today's Three Good Things post, I was sceptical about whether I'd be able to write it in the spirit in which it's intended. You see, I'm still poorly and with it, VERY grumpy (as you probably realised from my previous rant!). However, it only took a few minutes of editing my photos ready for this post and the better side of my mood started to emerge. It just goes to show that little things really can make a difference to our everyday lives.

I recently happened across a series of blog posts about everyday make up essentials, which really struck a chord with me. I do find that I feel more confident in myself when my skin tone looks even, my eyes are accentuated and my lips have a little colour; however, for some reason (a lack of taking time just for myself) I very rarely wear make up anymore and actually own very little. I wish I could remember whose blog it was because it inspired me to invest in the following few basics from Superdrug:
Beauty UK Blush & Brush No.4 (Rustic Peach), which is a revelation, as I've never really used blusher before and am amazed at the difference a little makes!
Make Up Academy Intense Glitter Eye Liner in Malt Chocolate, which is quick and easy to apply, and really enhances my green eyes.
Make Up Academy Lipstick Shade 2, which I picked for everyday use, as it enriches my natural lip colour.
Make Up Academy Lipstick Shade 3, which is a fabulous bright pink, perfect for day or night, and really suits my cool skin tone.
And it all added up to the bargain price of £5.99! Bonus!

This week we've made Egg Box Monsters! To make your own you'll need:
* A cardboard egg box
* Some googly eyes
* Glue
* Any other crafting bits and pieces that you have to hand, like paint, glitter, foam, card etc
We painted our egg boxes, glued googly eyes to the front, cut out pointy teeth and glued them to the inside of the box and then covered the top of the boxes with glitter.
When you make yours, you could add a big tongue that sticks out of your egg box, or you could glue wool or pipe cleaners to the top of the box for hair!
Whatever you do, have fun doing it!

I read the most INCREDIBLE book! Okay, I know I've mentioned it a couple of times on here already but it was seriously THAT GOOD!
By Lili St Crow
Don't be put off by the fact it's a reimagining of Snow White or that it's primarily aimed at the Young Adult market. It's dark, evocative, full of suspense and beautifully written.
You can read my review here but I'd rather you just READ IT!!
Now you've read my Three Good Things, do pop over to Margot and Barbara and read Liz's post. And if you join in, don't forget to let me know in the comments so I can visit and read all about yours.

What a fabulous three things. I love your egg box monsters. I've been saving lots of old boxes to do some junk modelling but so far...it's still in the bag - you've inspired me. I agree with you about make up. I wear far less often these days, but it does make me feel better when I do. Always good to get some new colours in! Great post. I've linked up again too this week :0)
Love that eyeliner, I quite fancy trying it myself! And like Mummy Plum, I've got HEAPS of egg boxes lying around. And my kids love monsters, so it's a fair bet, they'd love these too...
i'm glad that Three Good Things is helping you to find a bit of sunshine and I love that you're linking up x
