homeware haul

wow it feels like years since i've done a blog post! i literally say that every time I write one but it really does.
Anyway, now that the school year is starting back up again I decided to re-decorate my room to get myself more motivated, i'm not exactly sure if that excuse justifies the amount of money I spent but let's just go with it...

Wilko

I've decided to have an accent wall in my room, before it was white and although i really like white, it was just too white. So i thought a duck egg wall would look nice. Now, I'm not too sure if paint is classed as homeware but for the sake of this haul it's going into that category.
I bought this paint from Wilko and it was only £10 for a tub of it. I'm in love with the colour and it looks really nice on my wall. There is just normal duck egg but after 30 minutes of closely comparing the two colours me and my friend decided the darker duck egg would look nicer.

I also picked this white bedding up from wilko, i've wanted white bedding for a really long time but honestly, i may as well of been living in a hospital, my room would have been WAY to white. We looked everywhere for some plain white bedding with no frills or patterns on it and we couldn't find any..anywhere.
but eventually, hidden away in wilko we found this for only £7.99! I love how it looks with my wall and it makes everything look really clean.

The last thing(s) I got from wilko were these cushions. Keeping with the duck egg theme, these were only £4 each and I feel like they also look really nice against my white bedding.

Primark
I really love the home section in primark, although trying to resist buying multiple candles is a task and a half, they do actually have good quality things for not very much at all.
Me and Lauren were in primark just looking for clothes when I saw this and it was on sale for £4.50 which I think is so good... and also it fits with my duck egg wall so...winner.
It's honestly so soft and considering I got the cushions and this blanket from completely different places they're a pretty good match.

Ok, I honestly can't remember why I bought these. They were definitely an impulse buy, but I just think they're so cute. I love how they're all different patterns and quite 'retro' and I'm sure I'll put them to good use, and they're really good for £2

These are the last things I bought from primark and they're definitely not homeware... but I wear them in my home i suppose soo hahaha i'm really funny not.  They were way too cute to not add in this AND they're called snuggle socks..I'm sorry but you can't leave something with the word snuggle in on the shelves.

Ikea
I picked up a bedside table from Ikea which really fits in with my room and it was only £15! I also got this chair from Ikea for only £11 which I think is so good and it's a really nice design. It's actually really comfortable to sit on, which you wouldn't think for an £11 chair, I really like it.

I got these candle holders..which i'm actually using as pen holders. These make me seem so organised and I love it...we'll have to see how long that lasts.

So that's all I bought for my room, I think it looks so much nicer now and you always feel better when you've got a clean, decorated room.
Have you bought any homeware (or cute bambi socks) recently?

Lush and Primark Haul

i've been getting ready for my holiday recently and that only means one thing...shopping.
i've been to town countless times looking for bikinis, shorts and other holiday attire but it's crazy at this time of year and i think i've left it a little bit too late because i'm finding it really hard to get my holiday wardrobe ready!

but some good has come out of my trips to town and i thought i would show you what i have bought because i love reading hauls and seeing what other people have bought (so im banking on everyone else loving them too)

LUSH

 1. big blue- this is my favourite bath bomb ever (seen as phoenix rising has now disappeared from lush *cries*) i love the sea so this really relaxes me.
2. dragons egg- i've used this before and it's so exciting and the smell reminds me of a sweet shop so i couldn't resist picking it up.
3. fizzbanger- i've never used this before but i loved the cinnamon smell that it had which reminded me of phoenix rising (as you can tell i'm finding its discontinuation very hard to deal with.

 PRIMARK

 this is a skort but having a whole picture of it really didn't do it justice. I love the pattern on this and it fits really nice so i thought this was amazing for just £6- buying this made me feel quite happy because it's something that i can actually use on holiday!

I could probably use these on holiday too but really, i just bought them because of how cute they are. The purple ones are my favourite because they remind me of being a little 7 year old running around the playground, anyone else? just me? ok. 

judging by the lack of 'holiday-esque' clothes in this haul i think i'm in serious need of a little bit of asos shopping.
have you bought anything recently?

Recent Favourites

i feel like i haven't done a 'favourites' post for ages, partly because i haven't been blogging but also because i haven't really been using new things. I don't tend to use new things i just stick to things i know work for me, but these are a few things that i have really been enjoying lately.

 scrub of your life and thick and fast mascara

the scrub of your life is probably one of my favourite scrubs ever, i love the smell and i love how my skin feels after i've used it. I've got so many little travel versions of this and i have been using them almost none stop over the last couple of days.

the thick and fast mascara was a new one that i hadn't ever used before and now i love it, it makes my eyelashes look so long!

 Toni and Guy Moisturising Shine Spray

I got this so i could do my hair for prom and i've been loving it ever since. I use it after i've curled my hair mainly and it's the perfect little finishing touch.

 Toni and Guy Salt Spray

I have used this before and i've never fallen out of love with it. I've used it for a few years now and it makes hair styling so much easier! Especially if i get up late and haven't got time to curl or straighten my hair.

 Pretty Little Liars

There was so much hype about this and i must have put it off for at least a year, but i decided, because i've finished my GCSE's and have 10 weeks off where i will be lying in bed and eating chocolate  i should start a new television series and i am now obsessed.

Boohoo

I've been loving boohoo recently, it's a little bit like an online primark to me and i could probably spend thousands of pounds (that i don't have) on that website and the sizes are like real sizes and don't say size 8 when they mean size 2.

what have you been liking lately?

Lush: Ro's Argan Body Conditioner Review.

This is the Lush Body Conditioner that came with my Rose Gift Box... I used this in the shower this morning,it sort of works like a hair conditioner only its... for your body haha (duh)

It makes my skin feel quite soft and it smells AMAZING, The smell doesn't stay on you for too long but I suppose it depends what you're doing in the day. I have only used it a couple of times, so it might make your skin softer than the softest thing ever but I don't know yet. But I do really like it and I do think it's worth buying. You don't really get too much in it though and its not the cheapest thing in Lush I know that the big tub is £16 so I think the smaller one would be about £7/8 and you might not think it's worth the money...I do really like it though and would recommend it :)

my life lately in snapshots

 1. i decided to treat myself to a few lush bath bombs as i feel like i haven't really had a 'me' night since my exams started so i think a lush bath is definitely in order.

2. my prom is next week and i'm really excited and seen as all my friends are getting fake tans i wanted to too (this was a perfect excuse to ask my mum for some more st tropez)

3. i'm honestly living in white jeans and the moment and these were the newest ones that i bought from boohoo, £1.99 next day delivery? yes please

4. pizza hut. is my life. i would happily spend the rest of my life there and this pizza looked way to good to not picture

5. i love popcorn, all popcorn. but this bag of popcorn was probably the prettiest bag i have ever had so i couldn't resist showing you. (why is it that food is always prettier than me)

6. i got a new necklace on depop, it's a little fairy sitting on the moon and it reminded me a little bit of disney

7. more lush things. this is actually one of the bath bombs i bought from the earlier photo but i felt this one deserved it's own photo because this one is probably one of my favourites -space girl

8. again, another example of food being more attractive than me. mcdonalds isn't the usual place to take a photo of your food but it looked too good not to!

this 'snapshot' idea is not my idea i have taken it from milkbubbletea

sorry that i haven't posted for ages (literally months) i've been so busy with my gcse's that my blog and most other things had to take a back seat for a little bit.

mini pamper evening

today i have been quite 'active' so for someone who normally only gets out of bed to get food I feel like I need a little bit of chill time, but unfortunatly i've run out of lush bath bombs and i cannot have a 'complete' pamper evening without a bath bomb from lush in my bath so tonight i thought i would just have a mini pamper evening. 

 a mini pamper evening normally consists of painting my nails and putting a face mask on and then chilling with a hot chocolate and something nice to eat.

 the 'fab pore' soap and glory face mask is one of my faves and leaves my skin feeling really soft and fresh. it smells super nice too and you don't need very much of it for it to cover your face.

 this is my all time favourite nail polish, it's called 'fiji' by essie and i've used it for about 2 years now. it's a very light pastel pink and it's amazing and well worth the £8, it dries really quick and you only need a couple of coats of it.

 and of course, to top it all off, a doughnut from Krispy Kreme and a hot chocolate i think i need to start eating healthier. It's so hard to not get one of these when you pass the little counter of them in tesco, they look so appetising so I picked one up the other day and hadn't really gotten round to eating it but i felt like after a day of walking up hills and around castles i really deserved it haha sure.

do you have any 'mini' pamper evening faves?
