August Non-Beauty Favourites.


Deftones- Saturday Night Wrist; The Elijah- I Loved/I Hated/I Destroyed/I Created; Parkway Drive- Horizons; Inception DVD; 5:2 Diet and Recipe Books; Primark Ice-cream Sundae Candle.

I thought I'd do a quick "non-beauty" favourites post for you guys. I narrowed my months-worth of sounds to these three albums; I've recently rediscovered my love for this Deftones album, it's super space and weird but beautiful at the same time. I wanna get back into doing my album of the week posts like I did way back when I started blogging so watch this space. I'm not going to talk too much about the 5:2 Diet because I want to dedicate a full post to it and ,abbĂ© some weekly upsets once I get back on it when I finish my nights at work. 

I'd not got round to watching Inception until I went away and I loved it! It's seriously one of the best films I've seen in ages- I'd deffo recommend it! After watching wayyy too much QVC I became a bit lustful over Yankee Candles. I've just took the plunge and bought some little ones which are on their way to me in the post but in the mean time I've been burning this el cheapo Primark super sweet smelling candle. I can't remember how much it cost exactly but I think it was around £3. I hope you liked all of my favourites! Thanks for stopping by x

Random Things.

So these are a few photos of random things that I wanted to share with you lovely ladies. I feel like I'm finally settled into out new home now we're a month in. I've still got some clothes in bags (the horror) but for the most part I'm really organised and everything has it's own place now. 


My mum bought me some lovely bits and bobs last week including this incredible cat shower cap from Primark (I think it was about £3). Firstly, the colour goes perfect with all our bathroom towels etc, secondly it's got a cat on it- enough said. I have some lilac faux-Ugg boots from Primark which I wear as slippers but sometimes they can get a bit warm and *ew* sweaty. My mum got me these lil Footlets which a) have an amazing name b) are super cute and c) are in beautiful colours! I saw this bright pink bucket bag in Sainsburies- yes the supermarket- and my mum treated me to it. It's a total rip-off of the famed Zara bag but at a fraction of the price for £20. I love the cut-out detail on the front of the bag which is so on-trend for SS13 (not that I'm a trend slave). Unlike the Zara bag (as far as I know, I don't know anyone who owns one!), this beautiful bag has an inner bag with a zip closure, hello rainy days, which is also removable. Can you tell I love this bag?

 I finally got round to putting all our books away last week- it felt strange merging our book collections but it looks good now it's done. Me and my boyfriend both love reading and this is a mere fraction of our book collection. I personally love reading crime fiction, fantasy fiction and psychology books but I also have a nice collection of recipe books and art books.

I love this door mat- it was £5 from Matalan and was actually in a wishlist I made a few months ago now. We don't have a hallway so we bought this draught-excluder from B&M's for a bargain £3.99, I love the welly print!

Finally, this is totally random, but I love this basket I got from TK Maxx that we keep our bathroom smellies in on the window sill. It keeps everything neat and tidy and also stops me from leaving millions of products in the bathroom! I love the colours as it's not too girly and my boyfriend keeps all his shaving stuff and deodorant in there too. I guess this is like an Instagram post, except I don't have an iphone so it's a random things post- enjoy!
