2. This month I will be going to Brighton for Sean's birthday with our close friends for a camping weekend and I am so excited. So my goal is to save money for activites that we will be getting up to and a lil bit because of all the cute shops I don't have back home.
3. Keep my bedroom clean and tidy. One thing I can't seem to keep up with is the dust on my shelves in my bedroom. Nothing I hate more than dust! So I will be cleaning my bedroom as much as possible and re-arranging a few things here and there.
4. Go to Yoga classes on weekends. When I have a Sunday off work, I would love to start attending Yoga classes as much as I can. I love doing it at home but I much prefer having a professional show me some new moves and It gets me out of the house.
5. Eat a little better. It's time to cut down on my sugar intake and take more of a healthier approach. I have been loving having Graze boxes again delivered to my door. If I ever want a nicer snack, I will go straight to my box and pick out something. Also, carrying them around in my handbag helps aswell if I get hungry while on the train or out and about.
6. Re-stock on my bath stash. I only have one or two bath bombs left so I will need to go to Lush soon and pick up some new bits.
7. Try some different kinds of teas. Recently ordered a box of Marrakesh Tea for my coffee machine and I am so excited to give it a try.
8. Pick up this lovely buttoned shirt from Topshop that I saw on Kate Lavie's YouTube video. After watching her style it, I just need it in my wardrobe. I love a good buttoned up shirt, especially if it has tortoise shell buttons.
9. Celebrate mine and Sean's three year anniversary at our favourite place in Stoke On Trent (where we first met) The Whitmore Tea Rooms for afternoon tea and explore the best garden centre I have ever been to!
10. Find myself a new floral scent for Spring. I have my eye on the Jo Malone Peony and Blush Suede after smelling it weeks ago in Selfridges.

Spring is offically here and I am so incredibly happy. I'm looking out of the window to a lovely sunny day and can see all the daffodils popping up. One thing I love especially about Spring is all the home decor and getting organised. Coral and pinks start to appear from my make-up drawer and darker tones are put away.
I decided to give away some old books that was catching dust and make room for some newer ones. I'll be waiting for the new J.K Rowling book to come out. I'm thinking of treating myself to a kindle so I can extra space on my shelf for trinkets and candles.
Adding some greenery can brighten up a room and in Primark I came across this lovely plant ceiling hanger at a bargain of £8 and I have it hanging just by my book shelf with a cacti framed picture that I also got from Primark a while back. For flowers, I also found this cacti vase from Primark very recently and it was only £4.
Bedding, I found this throw from Wilko's the other day and I am so in love with it. Perfectly light weight for the warmer evenings and it has pom poms! It goes nicely with my duvet from Ikea.
Another one that is my mum's favourite is 'Intimately' by Victoria Beckham. This is a gorgeous fragrance and get asked a lot what it is that I'm wearing. The bottle is so pretty aswell.
Jewellery is a sentimental gift to get somebody you love and Pandora is the perfect place for that. From charm bracelets, to rings and necklaces, you will find that gift for your mum for mothers day.
Below I have added more idea's for Mother's Day :
This cute bear shaped massage bar intrigues me. *Honey Bear smells divine! I actually used him after my shower yesterday morning and my skin was nice and soft. Didn't feel greasy as I did expect that from a massage bar, but it felt lovely to use.
Not going to lie, when I saw this bath bomb called *Madame President, the first thing I thought of was the ball that is in Toy Story. But back to bomb, I'm not sure on the scent of it but I can't wait to see the colours it will make my bath water.
1. Pick up some home decor pieces for Spring. I have my eye on this Gold Tealight Holder that I saw on Megan's Instagram story.
2. Get my hands on some Pixi skincare - after hearing so many great things about their glow tonic, I feel like now is the time to try it!
3. Make some delicious healthy smoothies. Time to dig out my blender and buy some colourful fruits. I used to love having a strawberries, raspberries and blackberries with some oats in my morning smoothies.
4. Spring clean - move around some bits on my dressing table and throw out some things. Give old books to charity, put away the winter clothes and bring out the Spring scents in candles.
5. Invest in some pretty daffodils and tulips to make my bedroom feel fresh and brighter.
6. Bake some Rice Crispy Cakes (recipe here) love adding mini eggs because why not?
7. Book myself in for a new hair do for Spring/Summer.
8. Paint my nails in some pretty neutral colours. Essie's Eternal Optimist is a gorgeous blush pink.
9. Buy this lovely blouse from Topshop before it sells out again!
10. Continue to eat healthy. Loving Linda McCartney food range especially the leek and cheese plaits.

The Greatest Showman Soundtrack
I have been obsessed with the film and the music ever since I saw it for the first time with my friends. It is the same love I had for La La Land. The cast, choreography, story line and music just mesmerised me to the point that as soon as I got into the car to go home, I was already playing the soundtrack from Spotify. I did see it for a second time and hoping to go to the sing-along version at my local cinema because then at least I can show off my knowledge of the songs and don't care if I make a fool of myself.
F.R.I.E.N.D.S On Netflix
Of course I couldn't forget that I have been watching Friends every single day on Netflix. Although I have the full boxset on DVD, I could not just leave it un-watched on my account. My boyfriend is currently watching them all with me (for the first time) and he is suddenly understanding all the reference's I have made in my every day life from the show. I've become obsessed with the 90's fashion and just want to re-create some of the girls looks.
Learning To Drive
One thing I did not think I would enjoy and that is learning to drive. I took lessons a few years ago and honestly, I never enjoyed them. Now with my new instructor who is so fab and patient, I am loving the driving life. I have tackled my fears of roundabouts and parking, which both of them I am now very comfortable with doing. I can't wait for the day I pick up for my first car and have a driving license.
Pampering My Skin
Every evening I have been giving my skin that extra bit of attention, leaving my skin so soft and glowing in the morning. I have been using the Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser after I have used my Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish. Both products make my skin so happy!
Re-shuffling My Bedroom
I wanted to make my bedroom a little cosier during the colder months. I added books to shelves, scattered candles throughout my room and added green plants. I'm very happy with the turnout and every time I am now in it, I feel relaxed and calm.
Pinks!
A new favourite that I have been reaching for is Smashbox Just Hit Play Matte Lipstick which is a brighter, medium pink with subtle, warmer undertones and a satin finish. It has good pigmentation that applies without tugging on the lips, as the texture is creamy with a light slip.
I picked two from my NYX Soft Matte collection, starting with 'Antwerp', a very bright pink with undertones of orange. Lastly from the pinks is 'Tokyo' which is very bold yet a very fun colour to wear during spring and summer.
Reds!
For the reds I always tend to reach for my Clinique Matte Lip in 'Ruby Pop' as this is by far the best red lipstick I have ever tried. Deep pigment, long lasting, non-drying and I can't recommend this anymore!
Lastly is a lipstick I have had for a long time and is my go to date night lip. Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in 01 is a fab red lipstick as it is a very deep colour. It glides on your lips perfectly and lasts a long time. For a drugstore lipstick, this is the perfect one to get your hands on.
