January Haul | TKMaxx, Office, Topshop & River Island

I have gotten in to a really bad habit to start off the year, I have been spending like crazy!
I usually go through spirals of spending through-out the year, usually when I'm feeling down... Sounds stupid, but shopping is very satisfying! Even though, in hind-sight it only pleases me for about a week and then on to the next thing...

I shouldn't really need to fully justify myself but, the reasons why I have been spending quite a bit of money lately is due to not going out much lately, in fact I think I've been out once this whole month. I've just really been enjoying staying in this January. I've watched Game of Thrones solidly (three seasons) and, I'm really excited for season 4 to come out! Another reason is due to me having an operation soon and I've just felt the need to spend that extra bit to cheer myself up. And the third reason is me preparing way in advance for my holiday to San Francisco in March! I like to try and get most of what I need out of the way, so I can insure I have lots of spending money to make the most of being there.

Realistically, I know I need to stop spending and get into more of a habit of using what I already have. And, I also need to remember that I'm not living at home anymore and that I do have to pay rent and bills. Adult life, sigh... trying to be more responsible and shit. But, my motto in life is to ALWAYS enjoy yourself because there is no point being upset that you can't afford to do things, money is just money, so worry about paying things later (as long as you can pay it back). Just do whatever makes you happy!

TKMAXX Goodies | DW Home, Philosophy & NEOM

Hello, sorry that I haven't blogged in a while, and this post has actually been well over-due! I actually picked up these items at the end of November, but life has been super busy. I've been working near enough 40 hours a week, and having my weekends jam packed with events and what not, leaves no time for the blog. So, yes, sorry about that! I'm sure you can all understand what it's like when you work full-time.

But I'm up early on a Saturday morning trying to be super productive before I need to head on out to London for Joe's work do later this evening.

Anyway, enough rambling and on to the TKMAXX goodies! I picked up this heavenly scented candle by DW Home a little while a go, it's one of their 'KIND + WINE' candles, it's mandarin champagne flavoured and it was around the £7 mark, which is an absolute bargain. Also, what's really cool about these candles, is that the glass is repurposed out of wine bottles! 

I also featured this little baby in my November Favourites, so be sure to check that out on my YouTube channel.

I then stumbled across three Philosophy items, eggnog, homemade pumpkin pie and snow angel. This is a brand I've ALWAYS wanted to try and prices varied from £7.99-£9.99 in TKMAXX, when they are originally £14 on Philosophy's website, so I thought that was pretty good right? 

What's great about these is that you can use them as a shampoo, shower gel and bubble bath. And they all smell amazing! I've been using them non-stop this month!

And last but not least is a little gem that I found. NEOM's Restore:Inspire jasmine, ginger and sandalwood organic bath oil. Again, NEOM is a brand that I've always wanted to try but it's always been something I simply can't afford. However, this was priced up at £12.99 reduced from £32, so obviously I just had to have it!

This would be a cute gift for someone if they are into their baths and need something that's going to help them relax, and soothe away stress and fatigue.

And that's everything I bought! Hope everyone has a nice weekend and only five sleeps till Christmas, exciting!
