The Linkables

What have you guys been up to this week? I started a new job, which is actually still with the same company but I'm moving into the client services department so I've been stretching myself (mentally and physically) in all directions this week.

This weekend I'm taking it easy, which I definitely think it what the doctor ordered!

Why Society Needs to Stop Telling Women They Don't 'Need' Make-up

If you're getting engaged and want some bling for that finger that isn't a clichéd diamond, how about one of these alternatives?

Etc.

Ha. Everything I'm afraid will happen when I ask someone out for coffee.

P.S. I'm yet to be fancy and add it to my sidebar, but I've recently created a directory of all products I've reviewed and an events calender.
