DIY Storage Jars | Room Decor | Pirate style

Yo Ho, Yo Ho a Pirate's life for Me!

Hey guys, I am so sorry I haven't posted in a million years and I have no excuse as I've had a lot of free time!

I recently posted a video on my fashion based youtube channel (click to go to it!) of me making some cute storage jars to help keep your room/desk/life organised! I am going to be decorating my uni accommodation with a nautical, seaside theme (video and post coming soon!) and so chose to have pirate figures topping my jars, but if you're a bit more girly, or want a particular theme, these jars can be adapted very easily (glue guns are the way forward!)

On my channel I also have a few haul videos and a video of me discussing my skin care routine/ the new product I am using to help me get rid of my spots (damn being a teenager).

I hope you enjoy my videos and if you have any suggestions of what you'd like to see in a blog post or video, please feel free to drop a comment below- I love a good chat!

Christmas Countdown

So it turns out I literally do not have the time to post every single day but here's another Christmassy post to keep you in the festive mood! Today's post features gifts for the boys, be it your dad, brother or boyfriend, these will suit a range of ages and are all under £20! 

#1 Moustache Glasses Holder- handpickedcollection.com

I love this novelty geeky christmas gift which would be great for my dad as he's always losing his glasses! 

#2 Remote controlled Air Lightning helicopter- Debenhams

This is amazing value for what it is as RC toys are usually £30+ whereas this is only £15! 

#3 Wooden Stag Head- Debenhams

The perfect addition to making your home feel more country-fied! I really want one of these, they're so fun and quirky and would look great in any home! 

#4 Rudolph Heat Changing mug- Debenhams

This would be great for a younger sibling or stuff it with chocolate or even a game controller to make it fun for a boyfriend or mate! 

#5 Mixtape USB Stick- Amazon

This would be a great gift for anyone, be it a guy or girl. I love the retro style of this gift which is both handy and would be great to make your own Mixtape for your friend. 

Christmas Countdown Day 5

NO! I missed a day on my blogging streak, but alas I will post twice today to make up for it and then hopefully I'll be back on track!

Today's post is all about gifts for the ladies, be it your best friend, mum, sister or auntie, these gifts would be suitable for anyone.

Sometimes, I really struggle thinking what to get someone when I know I've bought them clothes or beauty products almost every year, which can get a little boring. So for something slightly different, my first gift pick is a cushion from the luxury British store, Cath Kidston. For anyone that doesn't know, this shop creates high quality bags, clothes and home furnishings, designed with cute prints and beautiful patterns. Granted, the products are usually very expensive, but if you look hard enough, you're sure to find a bargain!

#1 London Cushion Cover- Cath Kidston
I love the cute typically British design of this cover which is perfect for adding a touch of fun and colour to any plain room. (Available in white or blue)

#2 Nutella Recipe Book- thepresentfinder.co.uk

Almost all of my friends LOVE Nutella, so I'm sure some of yours do to! This gift is great for anyone who loves baking or is just obsessed with the chocolatey spread. At £8.99 it may seem a little expensive for only 30 recipes but I've had a look elsewhere on line and you get it new for about £5 on Amazon!

#3 Red Polka Dot Little Book of Earrings- Amazon

Having seen this, I myself really want one of these earring holder books! If like me you have loads of earrings that are all sitting in a box getting jumbled up, this book is a perfect holder to keep each stud neatly arranged and visible, and it's compact size means its great for travelling too! (Comes in a variety of colours)

Hope this post was helpful for anyone having a present mind block!

Christmas Countdown Day 4

"On the fourth day of Christmas my true love gave to me..." a fashionable scarf to keep me warm! Everyone loves wearing scarves,  they keep you warm and can sometimes be the perfect touch to make an outfit. With this is mind I have decided to do my top 4 scarves from the high street this season.

#1 The Tartan Scarf- New Look
I received this scarf for my birthday back in October and love it for its on trend style, shape and design.  Not only is it lovely and warm,  you get 2 scarves in one featuring a tartan side and a dog tooth print on the other.  Available in red or blue tones (or be my mum and buy both! )
#2 Stockwell Scarf- Jack Wills This scarf is perfect for wearing all year round, it's pretty feathered pattern adding elegance to any outfit, meaning it is even great for posh dinner parties.
#3 AMANDIE COLOUR BLOCK FRINGED TASSLE SCARF- Miss GuidedI love the vibrant colour of this scarf, matched perfectly with the slate grey which is subtly flecked within the yellow. This scarf will help make your monochrome outfit pop and will brighten up any dreary winter day. #4 Staring at Stars Knitted Snood- Urban OutfittersThis is a perfect seasonal addition to your wardrobe; it's warm colour the perfect wintery colour palette and the Nordic print adding a touch of festivity to an outfit.  

Christmas Countdown Day 3

Jewellery is always a great gift to give at Christmas but I always used to hate having to wrap it up leaving a chunk out of the wrapping paper. To resolve this, the bible of Pinterest showed me an easy way to wrap jewellery and make it presentable!
