Hi everyone, this past week has been so chaotic
and stressful (hence the late post), that I decided to concentrate on all the
lovely things I've been enjoying over the past few months, so if you would like
to see my list of Winter Favourites, please read on :-)
To start off with I couldn't wait to tell you
about the wonderful slipper-socks that I got from British Home Stores just before Christmas, they
were only £6 and I wear them with and without extra socks depending on how cold
it is. They're fleece lined to so they
are super cosy, comfortable and soft and wow do they keep my feet warm! I've been loving wearing these so much over
the past month or so and find myself putting them on everyday now. I really like the patterned too, even though
Christmas has been and gone for another year, they're still so festive!
I am most definitely not a fan of the colder
weather, in fact I hate it! The ice, the
cold winds, the ridiculous amount of layers of clothing we have to wear, it's
awful but there is a silver lining, one good thing that always helps me get
through these chilly winter days, hot chocolate! :-) I know I've mentioned about it before and yes
I'll admit I have a slight obsession but I cannot go out the house these days
without popping in to my local Costa for one of their gorgeously tasty hot
chocolates, they are the absolute best!!
As I mentioned in my 'Last Minute Christmas Shopping' post, I finally
manage to get hold of some pretty little fairy lights. I've been after some for ages but couldn't
find the sort I wanted, but I got a really nice pack of 20 lights for just
£1.50 in Primarks, I couldn't wait to put them up in my room and I just love
them, I think they look so pretty! It amazes me how much light you actually get from just 20 little lights too!
I also seem to find such great little items in
Primark every time I go in there, like these two packs of rings that I picked
up last week. There's 5 rings in each
pack for only £1.50 each and they are just so cute, I really love having the
option of gold or silver to wear too.
This is the third lot of rings I've bought from Primark and no doubt
they probably won't be the last!
On a little shopping trip to Boots a couple of
weeks ago, I was very happy to see they had a 'buy one get one half price' on
the Soap & Glory products, so I picked up one of their Gloss Sticks in Raplumzel which I've been really
enjoying, as well as the Lip Shine Lacquer in Charm Offensive, which is just beautiful and I've been
really loving wearing it, it's the perfect shade for me and I love the
non-sticky smooth texture. The staying
power is pretty great too, so I'm really looking forward to seeing what the other
shades are like!
Another recent purchase that I've been loving
lately, has to be the Urban Decay Naked On The Run palette which was a little
Christmas present to myself. After using
it for a short while to test it out for my review post (which you can find here), I found that I loved it so much
that I've been using it nearly all the time!
It's just so handy and the eye shadows are so versatile, especially my
favourite shade called Dive, a really beautiful rose gold, it's so pretty for a
day-time look combined with the included eyeliner and mascara, which is what
I've used in the pic above. The lipstick
I'm wearing is the above mentioned Soap & Glory Replumzel gloss stick, such
a lovely shade! :-)
Last year for my birthday I was bought this
gorgeous rose throw from Tesco and for a long while it sat in my wardrobe but
over the past couple of months, it has been invaluable in keeping me
wonderfully extra warm and cosy at night.
I lay it over my duvet and it really keeps in the warmth, I think it
looks really beautiful too and oh my goodness it is SO wonderfully soft :-)
Along with my pretty fairy lights, I've also
been loving my little battery tealight.
I have it in one of my Ikea pots and it gives out a lovely realistic
glow. I got it around Halloween from
Wilkingsons for just 50p, I've been on the look out for more since then but
sadly they've not had them in stock but I'll keep looking because I'd love to
have some more dotted around my room!
I've lost count of the times the weather forecast
has promised us snow so far this year, but sadly every time, it's come to
nothing. I'm like a big kid when it
comes to snow, I just love it and thankfully, usually, we always get a good bit
around this time of year even right into March, so fingers crossed, I will
get my lovely snow!
Another thing I do love about this time of year,
especially as we start to drift into spring, is seeing all the new spring
flowers, leaves starting to appear on the trees, the dark nights not starting quite so early and knowing that finally the warmer days are on
their way :-)
My final favourite this season, has to be
Valentine's Day. Now normally I try to
avoid this particular day like the plague and walk through the shops hiding my
eyes! But this year I decided to get in
the swing of things and appreciate the day for what it really means, giving out
love to those that I care about! And so
on that note, expect to see a very Valentine-themed post coming up later this
week, which will include a little giveaway, a gift from me to you :-) And if you follow me on Instagram, look out for a little news on
there too ♥
Until
Next Time Stay Happy ♥
