So here it is guys a post on all the things that I have been loving this month. Initially I didn't think I had many but then I started getting them all together to take pictures and I was like, wow.... So this post may be a little long winded, so go grab yourself a drink, maybe a mince pie??
Let's just get started.
The first thing is the chalk board (at the back of the picture) I think this is brilliant and so useful. I picked it up for just £5 from Primark (so I can't leave a link) and it's great for helping me plan my weeks and know where I am because I hardly check my diary!! You could also use this to plan meals for the week, which would help massively with doing a food shop, especially if you are someone that has to work on a budget. I just think it's so cute and, since we're heading into the festive season, may I just add, this would be a lovely addition to someone's stocking! Oh, and also, if you are a student this would be dead handy writing out when your lectures are and when assignments are due in!
Next the big cushion at the back. Now this may seem like a bit of a random one but honestly it has made such a difference. If you have been reading my blogs from day one you may remember I mentioned suffering with lower back pain, well this cushion has been such a help. It's perfect for when I want to sit up in bed and watch telly, or write blogs ;), propping me up just right and then when it's time for sleep I place my pillow just over this and it's sooooooo comfy, honestly the best £7 (yes I know what a bargain) I have ever spent!!! If you are wondering where it is from, I picked this up from Primark and it also comes in grey!
The boots. Oh the boots. These are sort of like your standard chelsea wedge boot, I apologies that the picture is not helpful, but just click the link for a better look, they are so comfy. I have never ever been one to wear heals but my style has been changing, also I started volunteering at a school and a student asked me what year I was in......... So this was my solution. Honestly I can last a full school day in these and then various places after and they go with everything, leggings, jeans, smarter trousers, tights! Just perfect, thank you Tesco!!! http://www.clothingattesco.com/womens-shoes+boots/f+f-block-heel-chelsea-boots/invt/bk522103
The skirt is another Tesco steal, only £12, seriously their clothes have been on point this season!! I just love this skirt so much. It's an A line shape, so if you have curves, fear not! this skirt fits so wonderfully and is so flattering. It can take you through from day to night making you look sophisticated but not too much. I pair mine with a jumper which you will see below and the boots. Not much can be said other than it's flattering, festive, and comfy! Unfortunately I can't find the link for the one I have!! But this sort of skirt will not be hard to find!
Costa...Costa white hot chocolate.... Costa cups! <3
The Playboy Generation body spray. I've been using Playboy body sprays for years now, they are my faves but this past month this is the one I have gone too the most. It smells amazing. I'd try and describe it but I'm rubbish at that so I won't bother!
On the topic of scents I have been LOVING Beyonce's Wild Orchid perfume. It's the most gorgeous smell. It's very sweet --- that's as good as the description is going to get. Not only does it smell divine though, it also lasts. Ladies you know what I mean, some perfumes it feels like the scent only lasts for five minutes, not with this one, I've had so many compliments on this, I will definitely be buying another bottle once this runs out. If you would like to treat yourself or get it as a gift, just click the link ---> http://www.boots.com/en/Beyonce-Wild-Orchid-Eau-de-Parfum-100ml_1523727/
The Benecos hand cream in apricot and elderflower! This stuff is amazing and smells so fruity and lovely. I have been using it on my hands and feet for the last week and it has made a big difference. Remember as the weather gets colder and harsher it's more important than ever to take care of your skin!! http://www.allnaturalme.co.uk/body/by-category/hand-and-foot-care/natural-hand-cream-apricot-and-elderflower-75ml
A model recommends CoLab dry shampoo. This is the dry shampoo that I have been using on and off for the last year. I went off it for a while because, I have a sensitive scalp, and it just flared up so I went off it and was using the herbal essences ones, which are good, but not as good as this. The Rio scent reminds me of the smell that hits you when you walk in to the body shop, it's amazing. I find that with this one you don't feel like you have anything in your hair, it doesn't make it stiff, you don't get the white powder left over, it's light and leaves your hair feeling light and fresh! http://www.superdrug.com/Hair/Dry-Shampoo/Dry-Shampoo/COLAB-Dry-Shampoo-Sheer-%26-Invisible-RIO-200ml/p/313504#.Vl32i1XhDnA
Rimmel's Wake me up concealer, this gives great coverage and is long lasting, blends perfect and is just perfect. I'm not the first person to rave about this product and I will definitely not be the last. (mine is in the shade ivory, in case you are curious!) http://www.superdrug.com/Rimmel/-Rimmel-Wake-Me-Up-Make-Up-Concealer-Ivory-10/p/435558#.Vl33j1XhDnA
Garnier pure active charcoal face scrub and garnier spot fighting moisturiser - These products have made such a difference to my skin! I've been using the scrub for a while now but at the start of the month I had been really lazy with it and ran out and then ended up having a massive breakout, it was horrid. So when I re-purchased it I also decided to go with a new moisturiser, which helps target spots, red marks and is mattifying, great for my skin. My red marks are slowly fading and I haven't had a break out since the start of the month - it is all down to these two products, that I can promise you!

Really random one but the Wilkinson Sword Quattro for women razors, a few weeks ago I went for something cheaper and they destroyed my legs - so I went back to these and they're great, they don't hack at your skin or make it feel sore, just smooth. Lesson learnt - Never go cheap with razors!!! http://www.superdrug.com/Wilkinson-Sword/Wilkinson-Sword-Quattro-for-Women-Aloe-%26-Duo-Vitamin-x3/p/219431#.Vl36Z1XhDnA
This really cute MUA trio! Okay so mainly the darker shadow, I've used it quite a lot this month to create a really simple, day time smokey eye, it lasts all day although at first it's not super pigmented you can build it up so that it is! The best thing about these trios is that they're only £3!!!! The one I have and pictured above is called Pink Sorbet which sadly I can't find a link for but there are lots of great MUA products both in store and online at Superdrug!!
I have linked everything to superdrug because if you have a Superdrug beauty card you get free delivery, if you don't have a beauty card, fret not, you can sign up online and it is soooo worth it!!
Don't worry, we're reaching the end now!
I can't find links BUT the black and grey ones are from Tesco (I'm really sorry that I can't remember prices!) I think the grey one was £12 and the black £8 but I could be wrong and the green(olive?) is from Primark £12!
A couple of random faves, the new One Direction album, this is their best album to date, I love it, a lot. My top three songs are wolves, olivia and temporary fix!
Tv shows, Once Upon a Time. OH MY GOD. I cam't believe the cliffhanger we have been left with until next year. If you don't watch it you need too, you can find all the seasons on Netflix (UK).
Also really been loving this series of Geordie Shore, it always cracks me up. Don't forget it's on tonight! MTV 10pm!!
THAT'S IT!!! Congratulations if you made it to the end!!
