Aloha!

Mikey usually plays golf on a Saturday afternoon so this is usually my time to go for a little wander around the shops and see what bargains I can find! So on Saturday just passed I took a little drive out to Ikea! Here is what I picked up!

Lime Plant Pot £5.25 - I actually bought this to store all my lotions and potions in which are currently sprawled all over my bedroom! It's so pretty and an absolute bargain!

Candle Dishes 60p each - I like to use funky looking beer bottles as candle holders but I needed something to place them on so the wax doesn't spill all over my table! These are exactly what I was after and at a really good price too!

Mini Cacti £4.50 for all 3 - I've been after a cactus for so long but I've never seen them anywhere so I was super happy when I found them in Ikea! They also do large individual ones for just £3 (they don't come in a pretty ceramic pot like the mini ones) but they never had any I liked so I settled for these!

100 unscented tea lights £1.75 - I use these in my wax tart burners so I go through them super fast. I was running out of the pack I had so I picked up these. They should hopefully last me a while now!

Full Length Mirror - £1.74 from Dunelm Mill

Okay so this isn't from Ikea but it was such a bargain I has to show you it! 

It's not really the colour I was looking for but I plan to buy a tin of spray paint and spray it a different colour (either white or silver, I'm undecided), then decorate it with fairy lights! I'm really pleased with myself for this purchase! 

I'd love to see your homeware bargains! Leave me a link in the comments below!

A little slice of November

It seems like just yesterday I was writing my October roundup post! But here we are at the 1st of December! So here is my round up of this month! 

1 & 2 - November saw me making a little trip north, to Aberdeen to see my best friend! We had a lovely weekend catching up and doing the things we love. I also got to meet her lovely fella! 

3- I also got most of my Christmas shopping done! I had to carry these 2 boxes home from work though! 

4- I got my grades back for the 2 assignments I completed in October! Both were very good marks so I treated myself to my favourite chocolate to celebrate!

5- Coffee was very much needed in November to get me through those dark winter mornings and coursework! This was my first starbucks red cup! 

6- The month wouldn't be complete without a picture of Smudge! 

1- My dissertation proposal was due in near the end of the month! It resulted in a very late night, and me being 2 hours late for work then next morning. Oops

2- I made my first trip to Primark in quite a few months. These cosy slippers were my favourite purchase! You can find my Primark Haul Here 

3- I also made a little trip to IKEA where I bought more candles! 

4- And finally, here is Edinburgh all lit up for Christmas. I've already been to the winter wonderland twice and I'm sure there will be many more visits to come! 

So that was November! I'm sure it will be time to write the next one before I know it! But for now it's time to get excited for Christmas!!

Hello Everyone! Another relatively unexciting week this week! Here is my roundup of this week in photos! 

This week I had to hand in the research proposal for my dissertation! Of course I had left it til the last minute! Copious amounts of coffee were required but I got it handed in on time! Now to await the results! 

This week I had a little trip to Primark to pick up a few things for Christmas! I've not got too much to buy now! I picked up these cosy slippers for myself since my ones are practically ruined! These are very similar to the Ugg slippers I've had my eye on but at a fraction of the price! They will keep my toes cosy until I can save up for the real ones! 

As usual, most of this week was also spent at work! This cute sainsbury's carrier bag brightened up my morning! 

                                     

All the presents I had ordered online all arrived on the same day! I had to carry these 2 boxes home from work! :( 

On Saturday, I went to visit my mum for a few hours. She's heading off to Thailand next week so I was helping her with booking travel insurance online! Smudge was also trying to help! Poor Smudge has been balding on his tummy recently so unfortunately a trip to the vets is in order this week :( 

Today we headed out to Ikea. I was only supposed to be going for a lamp for my sitting room but I couldn't resist these scented candles! They were only 95p each and burn for 25 hours! That's pretty good value for money! 

So that is about all for this week! Next week will be a little more relaxed! Uni teaching is finished for Christmas (we still have 2 essays to hand in though!) so at least we get a little lie in! 

Have a great week everyone!

Home Sweet Home

Hello Everyone!
Today's post is a little tour of my little house!
For those of you who don't know, I live with my boyfriend in Edinburgh, Scotland! We've been living together for nearly 2 years and have stayed in this particular house for just over a year! It's a furnished rental so a lot of the decor/furniture belongs to our landlord but I try my best to personalise it!

Sitting Room

Kitchen

Bathroom

Bedroom

So that is my little humble home! I buy most of my home decor from Ikea, B&M and Primark purely because they are cheap and as a student that's exactly what you want! Hope you've enjoyed this post! I know I like having a little nosy at people's houses haha!
