Stationery Haul

Does anyone else absolutely love shopping for stationery?

It makes me feel so organised knowing that I've got copious amounts of little notebooks to write things in and it makes it even better when they have pretty flowers and patterns on them!

I recently went shopping and as I'm going to be going back to college in a few weeks, I thought I should probably try and get a few of the pretty things before they're all gone!

TKmaxx is amazing for cute notebooks. They always have really good brands and for a really good price and I could spend hours and hours looking through all the stationary they have. 

From TKmaxx, I picked up an American Crafts notebook. I've seen these before on Paperchase and I was going to order one, but I saw this one for half the price! It's so pretty and the pages have flowery borders and I just LOVE it. 

I also got this 16/17 Planner. I feel like these kind of planners are so good, because I haven't got loads of empty pages at the start. I fell in love with this one, and it was the exact size I was looking for. All the dates are quite spaced out and it's one of my fave planners I've ever bought!

From WHSmith, I got just a normal pink A4 notebook, (that I didn't take a picture of) some flashcards and pens. Flashcards help me so much with revision, and I've got a feeling I'm going to be doing even more of it now that I'm in my last year of college. I also went into the works and saw the CUTEST pens!! They're gel pens and have the little dog on from the secret life of pets! I couldn't just leave them in the shop!

Buying things like this actually makes me excited to start back at college, and I'm sure I'll be buying more little things like this in the future! 

Is anyone else obsessed with cute stationery?

Sunday Routine

For me, Sundays are usually the day I like to try and sort myself out for the week. It just makes me feel much more organised when everything has been done on a Sunday, and i'm much more relaxed and ready for the week ahead.
So I thought it would be nice to show you what I get up to on a Sunday!

When I wake up, I like to take all the sheets off my bed and put them in the washing machine (Sunday is clean sheets day). I think this makes it much easier for me to get things done as I'm not going to jump back into bed and scroll through Instagram for hours. I have breakfast and then start to get ready.

I then usually get in the shower and wash my hair. This wakes me up so a lot! I use the Aussie shampoo and conditioner and the soap and glory daily face wash. It's one of my faves and is really really gentle on my skin.

When I get out of the shower, If I have enough time before I go to work I let me hair dry on it's own while I do my make-up. Sunday for me is not really a day that I wear a lot of make-up. My Sunday staples include Collection Lasting Perfection concealer, Soap and Glory Archery eyebrow pencil, Soap and Glory Eyeliner Pen and my Sleek Bronzing palette.

After I've finished my make-up, I tidy my room up a little bit and then sit down with my planner, to do list and a cup of coffee. I think that writing down what you need to do organizes my thoughts really well and I feel like I know exactly what I need to do and by using my planner, I know exactly when I'm going to do it. After I've written down all the things I would like to do during the week (things like revision and planning a few meals (that usually never get made))  I start to get ready for work.

After I've finished work at 4, I get home and put my fresh bedding on (which makes me so excited). Now that my week is planned, I can start to chill out a little bit. Some one my fave things to do to relax a little bit on a Sunday is to catch up on youtube and have a bath. As it's summer, baths are few and far between but I do love having a long bath on a sunday night.

So this is what I get up to on a Sunday!
Do you do any specific things on a Sunday? Let me know!

Scrub Love Body Scrub Review

I haven't done this for ages...

But now that I'm back from my holiday I feel like it's the perfect time to start blogging again and it's always so much easier when you actually have something to talk about! Recently I tried out a body scrub from "Scrub Love" and it gave me the perfect reason to make a blog post!

I'd never tried a body scrub like this before, with me being a soap and glory addict, so when I was asked if I would like to try this out I was so excited!

When I got back from my holiday I found an amazingly cute package waiting for me, which made me even more excited to try it out! The same night I ran myself a bath, popped in a lush bath bomb and got my scrub ready at the side of my bath. 

With it being mint scented I couldn't wait! I feel like mint is such a refreshing scent. I applied the scrub using circular motions onto my skin. Honestly the smell of this is absolutely amazing, it reminds me a little bit of mint choc chip ice cream (my fave flavour) and it feels so fab and gentle on the skin. 

On the instructions it says to leave it on as long as possible for it to do the best job. So I left it on for most of my bath, I certainly didn't mind seeing as it's one of the nicest smelling scrubs I've ever used! When it was time for me to get out, I washed the scrub off and to my delight, I continued to smell very minty. It took me about 5 mins to get all the scrub off and my skin felt amazing! After getting out of the bath and getting dry, I didn't even put any moisturizer on! I know you're supposed to but I just really didn't feel like I needed too (I also didn't want to stop smelling like mint).

Honestly, I think this is one of my fave scrubs I've ever used - probably on the same level as soap and glory's breakfast scrub. But because this one is made from coffee, I just feel like it makes my skin look amazing! I would defo recommend this to anyone looking to try a new body scrub! 

Have you ever tried a Scrub Love scrub?
