We're chuffed... and nominated for a juli b style award

Vote for Beauty Woo Me by clicking on the image.Just minding our own beauty blogging business the other day, and up pops a new email asking for a mailing address as we've been nominated for a juli b award. Tres bean, Rodney, tres bean.

Thus, I thought it appropriate to share the news, even if it's just for the sake of there being some record of us having actually been nominated (whether we get through this stage or not). If you fancy it and have a moment (oh yeah, and think the blog deserves it!), do click on the image and give us a vote!

Have a lovely Halloween to all and beware of teenagers with eggs and/or in packs greater than two!
