The Bedtime Tag!

The bedtime tagWe do enjoy a good taggage… so we saw the bedtime tag AGES ago and now finally it’s here!

What is your usual bedtime routine?

Sam – I’m very much a night owl and can stay up all hours but when I do want to wind down and start getting into sleepy mode, I turn off my laptop, snuggle up on the couch with a million blankets and some tea and watch a movie.

Sarah – My usual bedtime routine would involve getting ready for bed, taking off all my makeup and going through my cleansing routine and then getting into bed. I’ll probably do a little list making in my bullet journal and then read a book for a bit. Read More

January and February Favourites

How is it already March!?

At the end of 2016 I planned out how I was going to set up my bullet journal for 2017. I wanted to track my wax usage as I have SO much to use up, so that I can sneak more into the house haha. Also I wanted to keep it up as part of my self care tracker too. So my plan was that I could use the monthly lists to keep my favourites so that I could update the blog with them. But I wanted to do more of a chatty blog so…

Haha.

Well I’ve done the first bit. Not the second bit… so be warned this could be a rather lengthy favourites post. Vloggers tell you to get a brew for a long video so this is your reminder that you might want to do the same.

I started January with a few Christmas scents, I am one of those people who will have Christmas type scents in the middle of summer and the reverse. The Grinch from Scent Circus was one of my favourites of the Christmas selection that they had. I love their theme boxes and the attention to detail in all of their melts. I finally finished Cinnamon Sticks from Flamingo Candles, this was one of their Christmas 2015 candles. Absolutely loved that and gutted it never came back for 2016. Candywick had a fabulous Christmas selection too and I enjoyed Gingerbread and Cinnamon Buns. Read More

Self Care: Taking Care Of You

Self Care: Taking Care Of You

I had been thinking about starting a bullet journal earlier this year but was forever looking at other people’s beautiful creative pages that I was put off. I’ve always been a list maker but I wanted something to keep me more on track and my usual diary wasn’t cutting it.

So I stopped looking at other ideas for bullet journaling and started my own simplistic way. It’s now jazzed up with washi tapes and I’m learning how to draw different banners. I’m going to start improving on my cursive, my handwriting is terrible these days! I “write” loads but 95% of it is online. Read More
