Autumnal Homeware Mood Board
Thursday, October 06, 2016
Pom Pom Stripe Throw - Woodwick Cedar Candle - Cattelan Italia Carioca Table - Astronaut Vase - East of East Smoke & Musk Candle - Grey Stool - Acorn Trinket Pot
I love the vase but sadly it's out of stock until November! I also love the candles, I adore candles during the colder months (obviously I'm obsessed with hygge at the moment and candles are very important to the feeling of hygge). I also love the unique dining table from FishPools and as well are looking for a new one, I'll definitely keep this one in mind as it's just gorgeous.

Desk Makeover Ft. Room 4 Interiors
Wednesday, July 29, 2015
The office in our house has slowly over the past three years of blogging became my little blogging central and I love it - I spend the majority of my time day in day out in this little room and to be honest it isn't the prettiest room so when I was contacted about a blogger 'desk redesign' challenge opportunity, I obviously said yes. I have wanted to have a little office makeover for a while but I haven't got round to it but Rooms 4 Interiors set a challenge for me to redesign my desk with just £20. The desks of the bloggers taking part will be part of a competition in which one will be voted the best by the public.
For my desk redesign, I didn't want to do anything major, firstly because of the price limit and secondly because it would take ages. I have always loved Matalans home ware so when I saw a couple of cute items, I made an order and it arrived SO quickly. I bought the Matalan Welcome Sign (£5) which is gorgeous and I love it; it fits perfectly above my iMac - I can't believe the price, it is so cheap! I also bought a Matalan Alphabet Letter Mug (£2), again the price is fantastic and I had to restrain myself from buying ALL of the mugs. I will be going back to buy more of their copper items, especially the simple copper photo frame and three tier hanging sign for the office too.
Flowers always make a room so much more inviting, summery and colourful so I bought some gorgeous pink roses to brightening up my desk. They have such a uplifting effect on my mood whenever I see or smell them. Lastly, I bought a small copper candle holder from H&M which I can't find on the website but I'm using it as a pen holder; it fits well with the copper tones of the sign too. There are so many products I want from H&M home, it is a little ridiculous!
Here is the before and after, I also rearranged a lot of items as it was a little cluttered and I always think better and I'm more productive when the space around me is tidy and organised. I had a grey skull money box and a cute plaque from Sass and Belle in my room which I moved to the office as it was a little too minimal in the office. I find that refreshing and reorganising your surroundings and switching up items (even on my iMac, not just the room) is so revitalising and renewing, I love it!
Sorry the photo quality isn't amazing for these two last before and after photos but I used the pano setting on my iPhone 5C. Oh and I also added in my blog hoodie from College Custom to this room as it has my blog logo on the back which is just amazing and it seems fitting for 'blogging central' to have it's own personalised products!

Ultimate Spa Bathroom + Wish List

There's almost nothing more relaxing that a pamper night, I love them and as a blogger I can use the excuse of testing new products as a chance to have yet another pamper night, that's justifiable right? I love trying out new face masks, scrubs and candles but most of the time it doesn't feel that spa like and I think it's because our bathroom isn't very spa like - I don't think most are!
UK Bathrooms conducted research into what people would like in their home to create the ultimate spa bathroom experience if money wasn't an object. They found that most people would like a whirlpool bath to make their bathroom more spa like as well as a sauna, massaging showers and foot spa. I think I would definitely agree with the whirlpool bath and sauna opinions although I've always wanted a free standing bathtub! To read the full results and ideas on how to create your own spa like bathroom, check out the Chic and Cheap Bathroom Makeover article.
For my ultimate spa bathroom at home, I would have to choose gorgeous blue or grey Moroccan inspired tiles as you can see from the Pinterest images above as well as clean white walls, white furniture and facilities and obviously marble and copper/rose gold has to be included, I'm a blogger after all! I think flowers and minimal wall prints would make a bathroom feel much more spa like as well. Also, if money wasn't an object then all of my bath/body products would be from Lush and L'Occitane and there would have to be lots of Yankee Candles; the vanilla chai, lavender and midnight jasmine are my current faves.
Here's my mini bathroom and pamper product wish list:
