*Random Acts Of Kindness ft. Tesco Flowers

Images from Tesco

When I was a child and a teenager actually, I never really understood why my mum and my aunties always loved receiving flowers for their birthdays, mother's day or as a thank you but now, I completely understand as having a bouquet of beautiful flowers in the house can not only make the room look fresher and summery but it always has such an uplifting effect on your mood and outlook. Also as a blogger I love flowers as they make pretty and easy photograph backgrounds! #BloggerProblems

I love receiving flowers as does my mum so I would have to nominate her for my random act of kindness as even though sometimes most of the time she can drive me crazy, she is always so loving, supportive and funny...in her own very unique and embarrassing way! She loves flowers, plants and gardening in general as she took a few horticulture classes at college a few years ago so I'm sure she'd love any bouquet or plant as a gift but I'd have chose the colourful and summery Tesco Finest Pink Oriental Lily Bouquet (£30) for her.

The lily bouquet is just gorgeous, I love the bright pink petals and more unusual shape...also it would look great as a photo background, just sayin'. That's the problem with being a blogger, flowers don't last long in the living room or kitchen - they always mysteriously end up in my office. All of the Tesco flower arrangements come with plant food, presentation box, personalised message and best of all, a free glass vase - it's the perfect gift!

I think it would be great if we all performed an act of kindness as often as we can, whether it's helping a friend decorate, passing on items we don't need, baking a cake and sharing it with neighbours or giving a gorgeous bouquet of flowers to someone special! This is a post inspired by Tesco Flowers.

Who would you nominate? Do you love receiving flowers? What's your favourite bouquet from the Tesco Flowers range?

Week in photographs # 28/29

I haven't done a week in photographs post for the past two weeks as they were basically the same so I have combined them. The past two weeks of my life have consisted of: lots and lots of sale shopping (I think I have a problem), looking for a graduation outfit, sunshine & photography, holiday packing (we are going in about three weeks but I am just too organised), writing reviews and meeting up with friends and family. 

Firstly, sale shopping! I bought the black trousers and white shirt for graduation from Newlook and I love the trousers (even if they do make my thighs look a bit fat) as we are not allowed to wear dresses for our graduation! I also bought some items from superdrug, topshop and urban outfitters. I love the topshop nail polish in the shade 'stardust' (£3, sale) and the UO sale necklace (£5). There will be some sale outfit posts coming soon from House of Fraser, Zara, H&M, Free People and some makeup orders - I don't do feel guilty but they are all sale items....Also the weather has been gorgeous with lots of sunshine and 28°C!

The past couple of weeks have also been spent hating my internet connection - or lack of and watching Wimbledon, Dexter and the Tour De France. I have also been looking for a graduation outfit - I don't know whether to wear the black skirt and blouse outfit above or the black trousers and a white shirt! Help!

My favourite TV shows have been Dexter and The White Queen. Favourite movie: A Royal Affair. Favourite perfume: YSL Parisienne. Favourite apps: Days, Instagram, Pinterest, InstaText and A Beautiful Mess. 

I hope everyone had a great week - my graduation is on Tuesday (16th) so my next week in photographs will probably feature some graduation photographs (hopefully none of me falling!) x
