Zoella lifestyle stationary


Being a stationary addict, as soon as I saw the Zoella lifestyle range I knew I had to have it! Well maybe not the whole range but there were a couple of stationary items I had my eye on. I love the grey and rose gold colour scheme and all of the items are reasonably priced

Cath Kidston Disney range

I can't believe it's taken me this long to get my hands on some of the products from the Cath Kidston Disney range. I signed up to their email group to see sneak peeks and be the first to see the range and anxiously awaited the release. The trouble was, it was released in December 2016 and being so close to Christmas I felt bad treating myself when I should be buying Christmas gifts. So I resisted buying anything (VERY difficult!) and then ended up receiving some items as gifts from people so I was super happy I resisted! They were all in the 'Mickey in London' print which I was also super happy about! So here is a look at the bits I have so far

My favourite planning stickers for my Erin Condren Life Planner


I've had my Erin Condren life planner for a few months now and my sticker obsession has well and truly kicked in! If you have have an EC planner you'll know what I'm talking about. It's easy to get carried away and it can be a VERY expensive habit especially if you live in the UK as many of the best Etsy stores are based in the U.S so postage can get very expensive.

I've tried to be really selective and only buy stickers I'll really use and so far I haven't ended up with anything I don't need. The best way to get started is to make a list of all the activities, hobbies, work commitments and family commitments that you need to track and/or plan and then search Etsy for those specific things. If you just search for Erin Condren planner stickers you'll see so many pretty things you just 'have' to get that your bank balance will be in the red before you can say washi! Another tip is to try and get as many of the different stickers you want from the same etsy shop. If each set of stickers you want are all from different shops the postage will really mount up.

So here are some of my favourites of the moment

Healthy 'clean eating' challenge


I'm finally done with diets. It's only taken me about ten years to come to this conclusion. I've counted weight watchers points, Slimming world syns, weighed and measured things, counted calories, eaten cabbage soup, lived on slimming shakes and everything else you can think of. Now I'm tired of it.

I've finally decided it's time to just be healthy, cut the junk food and cut the emotional and boredom eating. I won't be weighing, measuring or counting anything but I plan to cut out refined sugar, processed food, additives and white pasta, rice and bread. Any big change to your diet is never easy but I'm determined to finally be healthy. Recently I've had a bad run of eating junk food and I feel like my body is begging to be treated better. I was constantly feeling lethargic, having stomach upsets and just generally feeling awful and decided enough is enough. It feels like

Erin Condren life planner - basic weekly setup with stickers


Hey everyone,

I've had my Erin Condren life planner for around a month now and I'm hooked! I didn't even know they existed until a friend told me she had one and once I'd visited the Erin Condren website and read some blogs about them I knew I had to have one. They have a great range of designs available which you can personalize in lots of different ways. I went for this one as it reminded me of my wedding colors :)



I'm going to get the topic of cost out of the way

Mini beauty blender review


I've had the regular beauty blender for a while now and when I saw the mini version I knew I had to have it. I picked them up at Sephora for $17.95 for a pack of two





I love the full size beauty blender for applying foundation and got the mini version to use with concealer. I know some people use the regular beauty blender for this but I've always found it
