Bedside Essentials!

Hi guys! Today I thought i'd share with you my bedside essentials, these are just a few products that always stay in my bedside drawer. I hope you enjoy!

Lipbalm

 

My personal favourite is Vaseline. I apply a thick layer of lipbalm every night for soft and plump lips. This is a lifesaver at this time of the year as the cold weather makes my lips go dry.

- BUY IT HERE!

Hand Cream

 

Recently I have started using the Dove regenerating nourishment hand cream. Again this is definitely a must have since my hands constantly dry up during the cold months.

- BUY IT HERE! 

Foot Cream

 

I have been loving the Soap and Glory heel genius foot cream. I use this before bed and just slip on fluffy socks.

- BUY IT HERE!

Spot Treatment

 

I suffer from really bad breakouts so I find it helps to apply a treatment to sleep with it on. I recently bought the Witch blemish stick which is super affordable and works wonders.

- BUY IT HERE!

Sleep Spray

 

I sometimes struggle to sleep so I've been using the Avon planet spa sleep serenity pillow mist. This contains Camomile and Lavender which are very calming scents an I have found that I've been having much better sleeps when I use this.

- BUY IT HERE!

Water

 

This is really necessary especially if you are prone to a dry mouth during the night.

 

 

So that's all I keep beside my bed. I hope you enjoyed this post. Leave a comment below of any posts you would like us to do.

Planning and Organising!

In 2017, which is scarily nearing, I am going to become more organised and I thought I'd bring you along and show and tell you how I am going to do it and my steps to achieving success.

Corkboard/Whiteboard
I haven't got round to buying one yet but I am planning to. I'm going to pin or magnet notes, important tasks, lists and quotes.

Diary/Planner/Journal
I am 100% buying a planner separate from my school one to note special date and events.

Pens and Notebooks
Just to have cute notes. Enough said.

Calendar
I will use this for visually planning and checking what I'm doing every time I walk past it.

Zoella Post-it Pack
This is going to be amazing for planning my weeks out and pinning to my corkboard and calendar. This also looks great with the copper foil and grey cover with marble effect post-its.

 I hope this post gave you some organization inspiration!

Top 5 Christmas Movies🎄

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Hi Everyone! so to get in the christmas spirit i thought i would share with you my 5 top christmas movies i like to watch around the festive season!

Number 1 - Home alone

No matter if it is Home Alone 1,2,3 or 4 ( i prefer 1 & 2 as they are more christmassy) this movie always gets me in the christmas spirit, it is such a warm happy festive movie for the family, by yourself or a little christmassy night in with your friends!

Number 2 - A Christmas Carol

i love this movie as it hasn't only got a christmassy, festive vibe to it, but it has a lot of deep storylines through out it that remind you of the real reasons of christmas and not to take it for granted!

Number 3 - Elf

Everyone loves a bit of Elf snuggled up with blankets and hot chocolate on a cold winters day! it is one of those films no matter what age you are, you still love it.

Number 4 - How the Grinch Stole Christmas

This movie is a classic that when you watch it, you can just feel all the festivity and christmas atmosphere surrounding you, its just amazing!

Number 5 - Arthur Christmas

This movie is one of those christmas films that don't get enough credit, i love this film because it is just christmassy af.

I hope everyone enjoyed this blog post and i hope you will be inspired to now go and watch some of these fun filled christmas movies! 

I hope everyone is getting excited for christmas as much as i am!!
