Today I thought I would share with you a few home snippets, starting with my beauty storage. This part of my bedroom is all on my dresser that holds my fragrances, muji storage and nail polishes. I'm so happy with how this is currently looking. I do move it around every now and then but as it all stands, I'm keeping it how it is.
Starting off with my muji drawers which are topped with my make-up brushes which are held in two muji pots that I got recently as I wanted my smaller brushes separate from my bigger ones. Also added a Smith & Cult nail polish in Poppy Red and my Ghost Dream Fragrance.
In all the drawers I decided to store all my lip products. The first drawer stores my Kate Moss Rimmel Lipsticks that I wear daily. Second drawer has all my NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams. In the last drawers they have various lipsticks by Soap & Glory, Revlon, Clinique and Topshop. In my lipstick holder that I got from Ebay at only £1 has my MAC Lipsticks.
I have my smaller fragrance's close by so I can pop one of them in my handbag so I can top up throughout the day. I love the Marc Jacobs Daisy roll on fragrance that I got with the larger bottle version. My Victoria's Secret roll on fragrance is also another favourite of mine.
My nail polishes are all stored on this cage that I got from Urban Outfitters a long time ago now but I am sure you can find one similar somewhere. I mostly have my Essie's and Models Own. I have this next to my jewellery stand that I kindly got as a present from one of my friends, I think it was from New Look originally. My necklace's dangle from it along with my earrings that I hardly ever wear anymore. It's rose gold and just stands out!

When I was younger, I always remember my mum having the Ghost perfumes on her dressing table and as I went into my teen years they ended up being the first fragrance I ever tried. So, when the team at Ghost contacted me I was very excited about trying out their brand new fragrance! I may have to hide this one from my mum this time round...
Ghost Dream* is aimed at captivating young women who embrace girl power and independence. Malaika Firth is the face of the fragrance, she is an absolute beauty and when you see the poster it really pulls you in to wanting more about Dream.
What caught my eye first was the amazing bottle. Reminded me of a crystal effect and when It stands on your dressing table it looks even more stunning. This is one of the prettiest bottles in the whole Ghost family I have to say.
The notes in the fragrance are:
Top Notes: Rose Essential, Aquaflora.
Middle Notes: Violet, Heliotrope, Moroccan Orange Flower, Egyptian Jasmine.
Base Notes: Ambroxan, Musks, Patchouli.
It's a very unique fragrance - when I first smelt it, I felt like I had never smelt anything like it before which I love as when you get some perfumes they all seem to either look the same or smell the same. Just like the other Ghost perfumes, you only need a spritz or two and it will last you for a whole day. I love a strong fragrance but Dream has the perfect amount of scents which won't be too overpowering for you if you just like a light scent.
Retailing at £27 for 30ml, £38 for 50ml & £48 for 100ml.
What do you think of Dream?

Everyone must know about Pokemon Go by now surely, right? Well I am obsessed! I think it is great as it is getting all ages out and about, socialising (as long as people stay safe) and getting some exercise. I have now enjoyed walking to work everyday and not getting the bus as I just catch Pokemon's along the way. I have caught so many favourites at the moment but I am currently waiting on my Pikachu and when I do it will be the best day ever. You can download the app on an Android phone.
Shower time has been a big thing for me especially as the hot summer days and nights have approached us. I think I have talked about Imperial Leathers shower gels before but I have been loving two of their newish products recently. For £1 a bottle you can't go wrong! The first one being Ylang Ylang Juniper this is just summer in a bottle, it smells incredible. The second one is Fruit Salad which is very sweet and is actually my top favourite right now.
Also in my shower I have a facial wash that all the time and that is Simple's Kind To Skin Moisturising Facial Wash. Ever since I started using this again my skin has cleared up from blemishes and spots. When you apply it with water it buffs into your skin and makes it super soft. It's great if you have sensitive skin like myself.
Fragrances is a must for the summer time, just a little spray goes a long way throughout your day. I have been loving Zoella's Sweet Inspirations Body Mist. I have done a full review on this product which you can see here. The compliments I have been getting from friends and family when I wear this fragrance is incredible. It is the perfect scent for this summer. Lastly I have been adoring Bronnley's Zealous Flower again. It smells of pear and mandarin which is also perfect for the summer.

thank you for reading!♥
Sometime last month I won a competition on Twitter with Bronnley England. I won their *30ml Zealous Flower* perfume and the *Eclectic Elements Collection*. Truthfully I had not heard of this brand before and now I wonder why it has taken me so long. If you're like me and have a soft spot for men's scents, then the Zealous Flower will be right up your street. Pink pepper, Amber, Pear, Jasmine and Mandarin dominate this perfume. It is all clean and fresh onto the skin. It might sound a tad mad but when I smell this fragrance, I could imagine a lady like Cara Delevingne to wear this scent.
The Eclectic Elements Collection box is just stunning. When I opened it I gasped as it really caught my attention. All I wanted to do was spray every scent onto my body. I don't have a favourite just yet but I do love them all. The scents include (From L-R) Zealous Flower (a small travel sized bottle of the 30ml) Wild Green, Crimson Cloud, Exotic Embers, Citrine Lagoon and Cosmic Bloom. They all sound amazing right? If only smell vision existed because I would let you all smell the scents.

Spring is fast approaching besides the light snow we have been having and I really can't wait. Lighter nights, warmer days and daffodils dotted around everywhere. I thought I would share with you my Spring to do list.
01. Bake some Easter recipes from my inspirational blog post (here)
02. Paint my nails in some pretty pastel colours. I love Models Own Hyper Gel in 'Lilac Sheen' and Essie in 'Mint Candy Apple'.
03. Buy a lot more Easter treats like mini eggs.
04. Fragrance myself with more of Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream as it is the perfect Spring scent.
05. Stay away from dark clothing. I love this Suede Jacket from Missguided.
06. Get a new hair cut. I am aiming to get my hair shorter and lighter.
07. Buy a nice new blusher to brighten up my cheeks. I have my eye on this one by Nars in 'Amour' (here)
08. Travel to another city. Brighton is on the list.
09. Read more books. I am currently reading Me Before You by JoJo Moyles and I got The Revenant by Michael Punke to read straight after.
10. Spring clean my bedroom. Give away some things to charity like books, clothes etc.
What's on your to do list for this Spring?

A very late February favourite post and I do apologise about the delay. I have been working many hours at work for extra money so I've been tired and just not been around on my blog. I really wanted to share what I loved last month as February was a good month for me. Me and Sean had our first Valentines Day together which was lovely and we went down to Devon for a whole week. Besides all of that I had been using these items and have grown to love them.
Imperial Leather Marshmallow Shower Cream - I have been loving this shower cream in my shower routine. The smell is incredibly sweet, reminds me of candy floss even though it is suppose to be a marshmallow scent. It leaves my skin feeling soft, supple and smelling so good. Totally recommend to anybody wanting a bit of pampering while showering and for the price of £1...what's not to love?
Dove Go Fresh Pomegranate & Lemon Deodorant - This has been having me smell great all day and night. I also have the Roll On Deodorant to match but honestly you only need the spray. One thing that bugged me at first was that white dust would always come off onto my dark clothes, but I realised that you do need to shake it quite well before spraying it on. But overall it works really well.
M&S Alphabet Letter Scented Candle - Ah I love this candle SO SO MUCH. The packaging is beautiful and looks really good quality. The candle smells of Grapefruit and Ginger. It makes the whole of my bedroom smell amazing. You wouldn't think a small candle would but it sure does.
Kiko Creamy Colour Lip Liner - I have loved everything that I got from Kiko last month but I have especially loved one of their lip liners. This colour is the perfect pink shade and feels so creamy on my lips. I feel like I want to find a lipstick in this exact shade. Will be buying more of these.
Other items in the pictures: Rose Gold Heart - ASDA - Similar & Tulips - ASDA

Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream, £70 - I never really had any of the other Marc Jacobs perfumes until my birthday in November when I opened up this beauty. I think everybody has swooned over the bottle, it is so pretty! I feel like this is such a grown up version of the original Daisy, it's very fruity - with grapefruit, blackberry and pear. I really like it, I think it's beautiful both alone and layered up with something less fruity. Even if you aren't a fan of Daisy, I think you would probably adore this.
Rihanna Rogue Love, £23 - I have been reaching for this one every single day. I opened it on Christmas day and I was so happy. If I were to summarize the scent I'd say it's very sexy and sensual. It's definitely a great evening scent as it's quite strong and it has a perfect mix of sweet and musky notes. It's definitely one worth sniffing - I love it!
Cheryl Stormflower, £40 - The first thing I love about this is the bottle. The delicate yet exotic flower design in gold and it's not tacky looking. This one is an ideal day time fragrance. It's mostly fruity, with notes of mandarin and nectarine, without being too orange-y.
Do you like any of these scents?

In December I was lucky enough to receive an email from the team at Cosmopolitan, The Fragrance who wanted writers/bloggers to try out their new fragrance. I obviously said yes and here I am today to share with you what I thought.
I do love to read Cosmopolitan magazine whenever I can get my hands on it on the news-stand. I got this months issue which features Millie Mackintosh on the front cover (BABE ALERT.) I always find the articles more fun to read than from any other glossy magazine as they can be personal so you can find yourself laughing at some of them. You also see fellow bloggers making appearances inside the magazine.
But onto the fragrance...here's what the Cosmopolitan team says about it:
The fragrance is captured in fresh sparkling top notes of mandarin, bergamot and red berries. Then comes the surprisingly seductive heart: hypnotic night- blooming jasmine and the powdery sweetness of heliotrope. Pimento berries give it a rich shot of spice, white carrot seed offers something earthy and unexpected. The base will linger on your skin long after you've sprayed, with powerful patchouli, comforting vanilla and the tobacco-like qualities of tonka.
As soon as I read all of that, I was hooked. The smell is pretty good, reminds me of Spring/Summer which would be the time I would probably use it. The bottle is so joyful to look at with the juice inside. It's so colourful, art-decor-inspried and it does look elegant next to my other perfume bottles.
