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'm still in Christmas mode and I'm not sorry! Watched The Grinch this afternoon with my youngest so naturally had to melt our own Grinch from @scentcircus. He smelt SO good!

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

Primark Homeware Wishlist Haul for September

9 / 21 / 169 / 21 / 16

Primark always provide the cheap and alternative goodies for your wardrobe, beauty bag and home. Changing homeware items every season can be costly unless you shop around a bit for the best offers. I’ve picked some items that will work through the transition from summer to autumn and beyond.

Heart shaped mirror with lights £12 – So cute! Great for a bathroom or bedroom revamp. Thinking this would be good for my daughter’s bedroom.

Copper Wire Heart Lights £4 – I’m really into getting different lights up at home at the moment. These carry on the heart theme perfectly! Read More

Christmas in July with Not On The High Street

7 / 31 / 168 / 1 / 16

Crazy story but in retail you’ve always got to be a step ahead. It might be summer (weather fairies need to be kinder to us, more sun please) but you’ve got to plan for Christmas and when it’s almost Christmas, you need to be planning for Easter and so forth. Basically, it’s a lot of planning ahead.

We both adore Christmas and could quite happily talk about this festive time all year round. We don’t even just burn Christmas scented candles in December!

When Not On The High Street invited me to their Christmas in July event I was SO excited. Let’s be honest we all ADORE their website don’t we? The personalisation available for gifts really does make gift giving so much simple and unique too. Read More
