January Favourites

I kinda just stopped doing monthly favourites after August last year, and it was one of my favourite things to feature. So I'm bringing it back and also putting it over on my Vlog! So without further ado here's my January Favourites!!!

Terramundi Money Pot -  I got this on eBay for just under £20, I love the colours, and the fact that I can't touch the money until its full and I have to smash it, this means that I am actually saving money.

Camper Van Photo Holders -  I got these as a gift, and there just gorgeous, the set of three currently sit on my windowsill and I've been changing out the photos.

Wish You Were Here: Vol 1 -  This gorgeous Instagram book from Bethany Joy Lenz, is a lovely addition to your book shelf/ coffee table / office, for spouts of inspiration, plus half the proceeds go towards Love146

Kylie Jenner Lipkit - Candy K -  Currently unavailable theres is set for more releases soon with new colours being teased, I really love the feel of this Matte Lipstick.

NYX Highlight and Contour Pro Palette - This is so reasonably price, and if your looking for a nice palette its defiantly one to consider.  Under £20 and with eight different shades to Contour and highlight your face!

Blend Active  - I am in absolute love with this blender, its cut the cleaning after making smoothies, so I have one every day for breakfast now. All you have to do is change lids from the blender to drinking cap and your good to go.

#MusicMonday: New Emotion - The Time Frequency

I've been attending a lot of Spin Classes recently, and this is a track that is without doubt always played and it always makes me want to go harder wither its the second track played or the second to last track it just has such a power to motivate me. 

It has also taken me forever to find this track online. So here it is enjoy x 

Brave Enough - Cheryl Strayed :Review

I've talked about my struggle with books last year, finding time to read was near impossible, I just didn't have a lot of spare time to give to a story.  Cheryl Strayed's Wild was the first book I picked up and it genuinely took me maybe two months to read it all.  Not because I'm a slow reader, or that I found it difficult to read, each time I picked it up I was utterly obsessed with the story, but then I'd realise the million other things I was supposed to do and it would be set to the side again.

"Wild: A journey from lost to found" is a genuinely gorgeous book, an incredibly truthful account of Cheryl Strayed's journey across the Pacific Crest Trail and what lead her there.

When I heard about Brave enough I knew I wanted to purchase it. I really loved how beatifully put together a lot of Cheryl Strayed's words were and in fact took a picture of the last words in the book and had it printed! "How Wild it was to let it be" 

This little book is full of thoughtful, smart and funny quotes. Can leave you pondering, inspired and give you words to live by. Though you can flick through it quickly its one that you want to have on hand to go to again and again.

#MusicMonday : "I Won't Back Down" - Tom Petty

Today I was feeling really meh, after not being able to sleep. I just didn't have the energy, bit its all in the mind, cause I showed up to my 9.15am Spin Class.

I then really couldn't decide on a song, but after my shift tonight and the mood I've been in. Plus its Blue Monday I realised I won't back down is perfect for how I feel.

So no, I won't back down! The only way is forward and to keep at everything.

The first time I was ever made aware of this song was watching a Tyler Hilton video so embedded below is his version.

#MusicMonday: Something In the Water - Carrie Underwood

This was on my spotify discover weekly playlist, and I remembered how awesome this video was so when I went to check it out on youtube I was honestly really surprised that it was released in November. I loved this song and was so obsessed with the video because it was shot so beautifully.

Its also a really gorgeous uplifting song. Which is really good to try and tackle those January blues. So I will leave you with this.

Michael Kors GlamJasmine

Michael Kors Glam Jasmine, part of the Glam collection comprised of Jasmine, Amber and Citrus, released in 2013.

I found this when I wandered into town when in Lanzarote. Side by side with GlamCitrus I was innitially drawn to try the citrus scent, as L'Occiatane Citrus Verbena is one of my all time favourite scents (and I've run out). But Michael Kors scent didn't strike me as much.

With scents for my I need to be absolutely in love with it to buy it for myself. I'm still sitting with the I Smell Great testers wondering if I should take the plunge and by myself the full sized product. I'm also quite picky with scents, overly strong ones or musky ones tend to be huge no's. I really like citrusy, or fresh scents and have been quite like fresh floral scents as of late.

I tried the Michael Kors Jasmine Eau de Parfum not particularly expecting to like it, but more just to see what it smelled like, I still haven't had the opportunity to smell the amber one but will if I stumble across it.

But once I smelt it I knew I'd have to buy it or otherwise regret it, especially as I was abroad and getting into in Lanzarote on the Euro worked out cheaper than if I were to buy it in the UK.

The scent itself is quite sweet, florally and is long lasting, just a really pleasant fresh smell. At Christmas I was also gifted by my Gran the set containing the lotion and a smaller bottle of the perfume which I love as I feel fragrances last longer if you have a lotion and I quite like putting it on before I go to bed.

This is defiantly my favourite perfume of the moment, and luckily I have enough to last me a while.

Kikki.K Review

I recently purchased some Kikki.K products.  Having stopped myself from buying the whole site heres what I got.

Words to Inspire: 

A beautiful compact book full of stunning typography, over 133 quotes adorn the pages of this A3 coffee table book. Something to keep on hand to flick through these wonderful words and keep you motivated and inspired.  

365 [Pale Blue]:

This is a gorgeous journal with 365 pages, though I just realised this year has 366, its undated so you can start anywhere really. This has been something I've tried in the past I'm using this to keep notes of thoughts or quotes that relate to how I felt that day.  Hopefully its something I see through this year.  

Vision Kit Board: 

A lovely kit with varied sized quote cards. Lovely for any inspiration boards or in real life pintrest boards you want to make for your room or office. 

Quote Cards [12pk + 5pk]:

Both quote card boxes come with a wooden stand so you can display quote cards also would be easy to use these cards on boards in scrap books ect. I honestly can't wait to display them in my room and really install positivity in my life

Lovely things inside: 

This is a lot of little things that came free with my purchase 

• A Pen (it writes beautifully)
• Stickers for Everyday Inspiration 
• Glitter Silver + Gold Washi tape
• Clips 
• 2x Magnetic Page Holders 

I'm Already so obsessed with these products. That I probably will purchase more in the future. Head over to www.kikki-k.com to see all the beautiful products for yourself!

#MusicMonday: This is the New Year - A Great Big World

I can not believe we are already four days into the New Year. I had a quiet New Year's Eve which is just how I like it, I'm not the worlds greatest fan of the New Year I always feel like theres a lot of hype then a major let down.

But I am all for the New Year, New Start. Let the year be everything you wanted. Hopefully it will be everything you need.

So lets start the year of with a little dance to the great tune. Because This is the New Year!

2015: A Year in Review

2015 was a weird one. I entered the year feeling rather stressed that I wasn't doing enough at college and then everything came at once and the world became insanely busy. But full of really fun filming projects and at times I didn’t feel like I would pass my course as things kept piling on top of each other and it felt like a mountain I couldn’t wade through and the procrastination was very real. But in the first week of June everything was handed in and not long later I was finally awarded my HND in Television Production.  

I also got to experience my first trip away into what will hopefully happen a lot more in the future.  Having a few days in London and then going off to Paris, Milan and Rome was a wonderful escape and a great way to quench some wanderlust. But also made me realise how intense my desire to see the world really is. Hopefully this will become a reality. 

In between that all I have created some great memories with friends and family. Read great books. Seen amazing movies. Experienced my first Spin Class. Worked my butt off. Treated my mum to a holiday to celebrate her 50th. Seen my Uncle get married. Met Kate Voegele and Tyler Hilton. Worked on a real set. Got my second tattoo.  Life has been good.

Hopefully 2016 comes with as amazing experiences and many more great moments.
