Gorilla Pod
I've wanted one of these for the longest time & I finally found the perfect one. Look how adorable it is! & of course, it's pink. I can't wait to pair this with my camera & start vlogging!
Ah these boots. What can I say other than I'm in love. Can you be in love with a boot? I believe you can. I managed to pick this gorgeous pair up in the sale last month for £10! They are the perfect every day boot & the heel is the ideal size for me. I always go for boots with a heel as I'm quite short but finding the right size is always a problem, especially when I need to wear them for 9 hour shifts at work. I'd highly recommend going into Primark when they have a sale, you can find some gems! I even saw some boots that had been knocked down to £5!
Ok, so I've wanted a new camera for a while now & when I finally decided to go & buy my new laptop, I ended up picking up this camera. (still annoyed the laptop wasn't in stock & I still can't order it online, but that's another story.. back to the camera) I've been having a play around with it for a week or so & am completely in love. I've started doing a bit of vlogging (YouTube link here if you're interested) & thought this camera would be perfect for capturing those special moments.
I was lucky enough to receive my first lip gloss from the Tanya Burr collection for my birthday last month & literally haven't taken it off my lips! I reviewed the shade Berry Picking here if you'd like a read. Since then, I've picked up two more shades because I loved the formula so much! I decided to try a bright red, called Let's Travel The World & a light pink shade called Picnic In The Park to go along side the dark red I was gifted. I'd strongly recommend trying these lip glosses. I'm a lipstick fan through & through & haven't bought a lip gloss in years, but these have encouraged me to try some more!
This brush has been my ultimate find this month. I was sorting out my makeup & found it in a set I must have received a few years back as a gift. It perfectly blends out my eyeshadows & gets rid of all the harsh lines. I can't imagine my makeup routine without it now! I'm sorry I couldn't find a direct link for it, but I found some good quality ones on Ebay.
Eccolo Notebook
Everytime I pick up this notebook, I burst into song. I'M SOOOO FAAAANCY! But seriously, isn't it just the cutest? I picked it up in TK Maxx, they always have the most amazing books & stationary. I could happily live in that shop. Only problem is, now I've collected all these beautiful notepads & diaries, what do I write in them..?
Soap & Glory Body Scrub
Events
Let's start with James' 22nd birthday as that is conveniently on 1st January. We went bowling & had dinner at TGI Fridays which I'd never been to before. It was so delicious!
I turned 25 on 16th January & planned a Disney party. I'd been organising the venue, food, decorations etc since the middle of last year so when it finally came together it was so amazing. It really was one of the best birthdays I've had & I got to wear a princess dress all night! What could be better!
At the end of January I went to see James in Gloucester & we realised it's one of the last times I will be going up. It's amazing to think he'll be finishing uni in a few months time & we'll be looking for a house together. Scaaaaary!
February has been a lovely month for celebrations. First of all, James was home for Valentines so we got to spend the weekend together with lots of food & films. One of the most exciting things to happen was after 15 years, James' dad & partner Maria got engaged! We were so excited for the news & can't wait to hear all about the wedding plans!
What have you loved these last two months?
Hope you've all had a lovely 2016 so far! : )

Soap & Glory Body Scrub
This scrub has been one of my favourites for the longest time, but I've really enjoyed using it throughout this past month. I'm a massive fan of Soap & Glory products, they just smell incredible! I'd strongly advise trying their products if you haven't already done so. This scrub just leaves my skin feeling so refreshed. I do tend to use it as a facial scrub once or twice a week & I love the way it leaves my skin so soft.

Good luck! (You might be finding clothes laying all throughout the house, if your boyfriend is anything like mine!)

DeleteI absolutely love those boots, I picked some up in ASOS Sale but for £17 so not really as cheap but hey ho, I wish I was closer to Primark as I would be constantly raiding it! Super cute notebook I keep collecting stationery xxx
ReplyDeleteThankyou hun! Ah that sucks you don't have a Primark near you, my nearest is about a 25 minute drive, but I still try to visit it as often as possible! xxx
