Soft Brown Sugar - smelly?

I don't know if anyone else has noticed but for sometime now Soft Brown Sugar in stores has been different - it reeks of Molasses and Soft Brown Sugar just doesn't usually smell like that I'm sorry! One packet I bought was even a disconcerting bright orange colour! I had even stopped buying it because of this change which is a pretty big deal for me as I like to be stocked up on my baking supplies and I regularly bake goodies for the boys' lunches! I am still noticing the difference even now - the Brown Sugar stinks out the whole baking aisle! Anyway, I decided I would bite the bullet so to speak and buy some of this stinky new Soft Brown Sugar and test it out to see if the smell affected the flavour in anyway - if it did it would mean no more choc chip cookies, pumpkin muffins and a bunch of other treats!
SO, made some Choc Chip Cookies up the night before last annnnnnnnd - all good! Guess we just have to put up with the smell!

A pictorial post of Wombat's various and random sleeping "spots" ie. places where he has randomly fallen asleep around the house - oft times literally "fallen" asleep : )

Why I NEED Mousse.

Arguably tight, "contained" and "tamed", tidy curls with mousse.

Curls all brushed out - resultant untamed frizz bomb.

Ami Ana Giveaway!!

So....I am actually having a Giveaway on Ami Ana at the moment (the past week to be exact), but it would seem that thanks to Facebook's new promotion and view quashing tactics very few people, excepting a few whom I have informed directly of it, knew! :/

 This makes me sad. It probably makes you sad too.

So, in an attempt to combat Facebook's disagreeable "tactics" I am considering extending the entry time for one more day for all those whom Facebook have prevented, nay impeded from being informed of it and potentially missing out on FREE Ami Ana goodies! What do YOU all think?

I think that considering I'm only extending for one extra day, you guys still have pretty primo odds to win :D

 So short'n'sweet - to Enter:
1. Be an Ami Ana Facebook fan - here's the link to do that - https://facebook.com/Anarashii
2. Comment either on the Ami Ana Facebook page or the Anarashii Blog - http://Anarashii.blogspot.com and tell me what Ami Ana item is on your Christmas wish list!
3. Share on your personal FB page or biz page for extra entries!

 Time for Entries to close is now 8.30pm Thursday 8th November NZ Time. Good luck! Here's what's up for grabs!

Morticia and the Hulk

Here we are at home after "Trunk'n'Treat" at Church - Wombat as Hulk and me, supposedly,as Morticia Adams - but my hair just will NOT be tamed!!
