April 2017 Glossybox

It's that time of the month again folks - it's Glossybox time!

The very first product in my Glossybox this week is a sample of the Elgon Deliwash Cleansing Conditioner. This is a 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner that is designed to enhance curls and leave them free from frizz - which, for those of you who know me, is something that I really need! I have used this twice already on top of my usual shampoo and conditioner (I know, that's not how it's supposed to be used), and to be honest, I haven't really noticed a difference at all. I have quite a lot of hair, so I think that I need to use more than the suggested amount, and I will definitely stick with it because I am very curious! I also love the smell of it, it smells amazing. It reminds me of the perfume my sister always wears (which I think is Poison by Dior, in case you were wondering!).

The next thing is this ModelCo Contour Stick. I was really excited when I saw this and it was actually the very first thing that I reached for, but me being me obviously meant that in my very first opening of it, I dented it and got it everywhere. Good job. Anyway, first of all, I love the smell again. This smells quite chocolatey and just very desirable I guess. Now, I'm not going to pretend like I have the slightest clue what I'm talking about, but I was a little concerned that it seemed too warm-toned to be a contour, and that it looked much more like a bronzer colour. However, I have used it once of twice already and the colour doesn't seem to be too much of a problem. It blends out really nicely and so far, I am really enjoying using it!

The very next thing I was also very excited about! It is this SportFX Definition Duo Eyeliner Pencil. I hardly ever use liquid eyeliner because I am really lazy and there isn't enough time in the mornings and because it's always raining in winter and I always have a weepy eye in summer. So, as a result of this, I very often end up using pencil liners, and I really enjoy using them. I was really happy when I saw that this came with a brown pencil as well, because I haven't ever really used one before. So far, I have found the precision and the skinniness of it to be really useful. I've had a little trouble with them being quite hard and tough to apply, but I have really enjoyed using it and wearing it. It's also meant to be self sharpening - I don't know quite how that works, but it makes me excited!

The next product is this Merci Handy Love and Hand Cleansing Gel, which is a really posh way of saying hand gel. Mine is in the smell (or flavour?) Lollipop, and I absolutely love it! I wouldn't say that it really smells of a lollipop, it's just very fresh and almost citrusy, and I definitely my kind of smell. I don't really use hand sanitizer, but I will definitely be popping this in my school blazer, to keep my hand sanitized throughout the day! The only criticism that I have is that it comes out of the bottle very fast and you may end up getting too much. However, that may just be me squeezing too hard!

And the last product that I received in my Glossybox this month is the Rodial Glamolash Mascara XXL. I received a kohl eyeliner by Rodial a few months ago and I absolutely loved it, so I had very high hopes for this. However, honestly, I don't think it's that great. Don't get me wrong, it's a good mascara, it's lengthening and thickening, it just isn't as good as the Maybelline Lash Sensational, for example. I'm not sure it's worth paying £24 for the full size one, but I will really enjoy using this little sample!

That is everything that I received in my Glossybox this month. You may have noticed that I waited a little longer than usual to write about it, and that was so that I could give you more of an actual review on the products, rather then talking about them randomly. Actually, that's a complete lie, I have just been super busy recently, but I guess that it works for both reasons!

See you soon!

March 2017 Favourites

Goodness gracious me, time is moving far to fast at the moment. It is just not OK that I am here writing another favourites post! However, I cannot let myself think about that otherwise I shall start stressing about things that are to come and that it never good.

I have a really good range of random things that I have been loving this month, and I hope that by sharing them with you, I can impart some of my wisdom (because I have bucket loads) onto you.

First up, in the beauty category, I have been loving this Maybelline 24 Karat Nudes pallet. I think that I wrote a post on the original The Nudes pallet when it came out (which I still love) and so I was very excited when one of my friends gave me this for my birthday at the end of February. I adore this pallet because it is so versatile. I have been trying to be a little more daring with my use of colour especially when it comes to eyeshadow, and this pallet is perfect because it has a perfect mix of wearable nude shades with a few beautiful bright colours mixed in. I have worn every colour in this pallet and I love them all, they are so pigmented and such good quality. Also, one of the only things that I didn't like about the original The Nudes pallet was that the highlight shades weren't very pigmented and slightly bitty. These highlight shades are absolutely beautiful, they really make the inner tear-duct pop!

For quite a while now I have vowed eternal hatred to oil pastels. I used them a couple of months ago and it did not go well at all. Since then, I have absolutely hated everything about them and refused to even touch them. However, this is favourites not fails. A week or two ago I was trying to do a study as apart of my art coursework and I couldn't  decide what media to use, so for some reason I picked them up and gave them another go. It was a little shakey at first, but I ended up completely falling in love with them! They are entirely a different technique to anything else and it took me a while to get the hang of it, but once I did, I produced a pretty cracking piece of work (though I do say so myself!). I will definitely be reaching for oil pastels a lot more willingly in future.

Next, I have been loving Redbubble. For those of you who don't know, Redbubble is a website where artists can upload their artwork and people can purchase it in the form of phone cases or cushions or t shirts or all kinds of things. I love seeing the amazing creative and quirky designs that people come up with, I find it really inspirational! I have spent so many hours browsing the Redbubble website and really recommend all of you to check it out - not only will you find some beautiful unique stuff, but you'll be helping artists to achieve their dreams! While we're on the subject, I have also been toying with the idea of uploading some of my own art for you guys to buy and I'd love to hear if that is something you may be interested in!

In the food category this month, I've got an old classic for you - Pom Bears. I bought these as snacks to take into school, and re-fell in love with them. I have such fond memories of eating these when I was little with my childminder. We used to go for walks and then come back and eat lunch and have pom bears. After we finished eating the crisps, my childminder would wash up the packets and we would cut the bears out and then make little homes for them - it was the most fun ever! These crisps are just amazing, they're fun and tasty and will make you feel four years old again! Plus, as far as crisps go, they're really low calorie!

As I mentioned before, I have been doing a lot of art coursework. However, I have also been doing a lot of textiles work too, and that has lead me to discover the most amazing thing in the world: bias binding. It is a ribbon like material that you stitch one half to on one side of a seam or edge and then fold and stitch the other half on the other half of the seam of edge and you are left with a beautifully neat and perfectly tidy seam! I have been a little unsure with what to do with all of my mistakes along the seams, but this has covered it perfectly! I just love it, and I will definitely being using it a lot more in future.

Last but not least, another March favourite of mine has been French you tubers. I currently study French, and generally I am all round terrible at it. However, I do have one particular weakness (the worst of a bad lot) and that is in the listening. I find it so difficult to hear and understand what people are saying, and then to interpret it to try and answer a question. It was suggested to me to try watching some French youtubers, as it would not only get me used to hearing the language but also help to widen my vocabulary. I have a system whereby I watch the video initially with no subtitles and see what I pick up. I then watch the video with English subtitles before watching it for a third time, again with no subtitles. To be honest, I don't know how well it works, but it certainly makes revising a lot more fun! The three youtubers that I watch the most are Cyprien, Natoo and Norman fait des videos, and I would really recommend them all!

I really apologise that this post is coming so late into April, but I have just been so busy recently, I haven't really been keeping up with the dates!

See you soon!


   

Nail Varnish Collection 2017

I have just (and I mean in the last five minutes) finished going through my nail varnishes and having a bit of a sort and clear out. I used to keep them in a tub, but I didn't really like that, so I am planning to buy one of those big plastic mason jars (or something along those lines) to keep them in, but for now they're just on my desk.

However, I don't really talk about nail varnish very much and I thought that it might be nice if I shared my collection with you. First of all, you must know that I am absolute crap when it comes to nails. I'm not one of those people with beautiful long nails who does all kinds of fancy nail art, my nails are short and horrible and weak (so they never grow) and I don't even paint them as much as I would like - blummin school rules. So my collection is based on me being an absolute cheapskate and novice, and not because I'm trying to show off - there is absolutely nothing to show off about!

So first up are some of the first nail varnishes that I ever got. Father Christmas dropped these in my stocking years ago and I've kept them because I actually really like them. They're by a brand called Flutter (which I think is only available at Christmas?) and all of the colours are actually really nice and wearable. I really like the burgundyish colour, and I also wear the blue quite a bit because it's not too ostentatious for school. I have no idea what the names are, and I doubt that they are still available, but I kind of love em because they show where I came from.

Next up are my Rimmel nail varnishes. I actually love Rimmel polishes, they are probably my go to brand and the only one that I have ever tried in great depth. I especially love the Rita Ora festival ones (which are the three on the left). I have 878 (Roll In The Grass), 880 (Port-A-Loo-Blue) and 450 (Daisy Days). I basically lived in these three colours last summer, especially the yellow. They're really quick drying which is good because I'm super impatient and although they aren't particularly long lasting, they have that special one-stroke brush which is really thick, and I really like that. I then have a 405 (Loafer Love For You) and a 500 (Caramel Cupcakes), which is a great nude for school because it dries so fast and has a nice finish. Last of all, I tried out one of Rimmel's Super Gel range, in 021 (New Romantic). I wore this quite a lot last spring, those I wasn't particularly crazy about it.

I then have a couple of nudes which I have gotten from various Glossyboxes, a Ciate paint pot in Iced Frappe (which I have just used for the first time and so far, really like - fast drying and very opaque with one coat!), and a Revlon 705 in Gray Suede. I think that I've only used that one once, but I don't think that I was very impressed because it took ages to dry. However, I will be using it again because I can't really remember.

Then I have a couple of Maybelline polishes which I actually got in a set together last year I think. There are some crystals and a bright red. The red is actually really good, fast drying (you can really tell what I look for in a varnish cant you?) and a really strong colour. I have only used the crystals once or twice, but I never have any problems with them coming off, they stick pretty firmly.

Next I have two MUA ones which I was given. I think that these are literally £1 each, so you cant expect much from them. However, they do have a really nice range of colours, even if you have to use about 400 coats to be able to see them! I think I might buy a few other colours and give them a go, and let you know what I think!

Lastly, I just have two random ones, a red one that I was given and I have no idea what the brand is or what colour it is and I don't actually think I've ever used... and the other which is my only Barry M one, and I think I inherited from my sister and is some glitter particle thingys. If I ever get invited to a party, I think that this will become very appropriate!

Then in the way of top coats, I have three: the Revlon Diamond Top Coat, which takes agesss to dry, the Rimmel Super Gel Top Coat which gives you the gel effect and my favourite, the Barry M Basecoat, Topcoat and Nail Hardener. It's pretty bog standard but it does everything you want it too!

So that is my nail varnish collection, I know that it's not huge, I am just too impatient most of the time to make a good job out of my nails!

See you soon!

March 2017 Glossybox

Today I've got another little Glossybox post for you! I have to say, I am really excited about this one, there are lots of products that I've never tried before and look AMAZING!

The first thing that I received is this Sleek Eye and Cheek Palette in A Midsummer's Dream. I have heard so many amazing things about the brand Sleek, and I've always wanted to try some of their stuff. I know that their cheek and contour palettes are particularly raved about, but they don't actually stock Sleek in my Superdrug, so, I was very excited when I found this is my Glossybox. I think there were four shades that I could've chosen from, but I missed the email, so I just got sent this one by default. First of all, I absolutely love the packaging. It reminds me really strongly of NARS packaging. I love the big mirror and the fact that its magnetic. As for the actual palette, it contains two blushers and four eyeshadows. The eyeshadows look great, three really wearable matte nudes, and one amazing plummy bronzy shimmer that I cannot wait to try out! As for the blushers, I think that they may be a little dark for my skin tone, especially the more shimmery one. However, I am going to try them out regardless and I am really excited about this palette!

The next thing that I got, I am very excited to try but a little dubious about. It is this Got2b styling PRIMER. I am so super lazy when it comes to my hair, I wash it and bung it into a pony tale, and that it literally it. I also have really crazy curly hair which, to be honest, never really needs a huge amount of tending to because it really just does it's own thing. I think that the idea of this is to give your hair pliability and grip, as well as lasting control, all of which are supposed to make styling easier. I am trying a little harder at the moment to do more interesting things with my hair, so I am definitely going to give this a go, and I will let you know how I get on!

The next product in my Glossybox is the thisworks in transit camera close-up. Again, skincare is something that I am so lazy about, and since I've been putting in more effort, I've noticed a huge change. I never use a primer before doing my makeup (shock horror, right?) and that is how I am going to use this, and I can't wait to see if it changes anything. It's also meant to reduce redness, which believe me, can only be a good thing for me!

I was going to talk about this product last, but I don't want to end on a sad note, so I'm talking about it now instead! My least favourite thing in this months box is this FRUU.. Fruitilicious Coconut Lip Balm. My reservations about this have absolutely nothing to do with the actual product, and more with the fact that I hate the smell of coconut. I don't know what it is, it just makes me gag and I can't stand it. However, I'm sure that the brand make loads of other amazing lip balms which I am definitely interested in trying, especially as they are all PETA-certified cruelty-free and vegan friendly!

And last but my no means least is this oOlution Eye Love. Confession time again, I have never used an eye cream, but I am so excited about this. I have noticed recently that I've begun to get some pretty dark circles under my eyes, and I can't wait to see what happens if I give my eyes a bit more love! Plus, this has some great reviews, so I have pretty high hopes!


So that was everything that I received in my March Glossybox. As always, I really recommend Glossybox, its really cheap and give you the chance to try out loads of great new brands and products and discover some new favourites!

See you soon!

Unicorn Horn Makeup Brushes

I received so many lovely things for my birthday last week and I am so super grateful to all my friends and family for their thoughtful gift - I was spoiled rotten by everyone!

I have gone back and forth a lot on whether I wanted to do a 'What I Got For My Birthday' haul post, but I think that it would probably best if I don't do one. However, I will probably be talking a lot about what I got in upcoming posts (including this one), so if you're absolutely desperate to find out then you wont be too harshly deprived!

Today I am going to be talking about a gift that one of my friends got me that is possibly the most amazing invention in the history of the universe. Period.

Unicorn horn makeup brushes.

A little bit of context might actually be helpful here. I love unicorns (who doesn't?), and for my birthday, I decided that I just wanted to have a bit of fun with my friends and have a unicorn and dinosaurs themed evening. I don't know where it came from, to be honest, most of the inspiration was from Pinterest. Everyone got really into it and we ended up having a great time!

So, unicorn makeup brushes. Are there are words? I love makeup, and I'm really happy with the size and contents of my collection, but the one area that I have been seriously lacking for so long is makeup brushes. I have already used them (and trashed them) and they are absolutely amazing! They are really soft and easy to use and just the most fantastic things ever.

However, they didn't actually really come with a guide as to which brush did what, so I have kind of had to work it out myself based on what the internet says and what I think I will personally use them for. I have probably got this completely wrong, but oh well!

The first brush is the largest one that came in the set. I think that this is probably meant for blush, based on the size of it. However, I think that I will probably end up using it for powder, or maybe even bronzer. This one has got to be the softest of them all, I just want to constantly be stroking it!

The next brush is a stippling brush. I've never had one of these before, and I really liked it when I tried it. The only brush that I have ever really used for foundation is the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush, and I think this is actually quite similar in the job that it does. However, it's going to take me a little while to get the hang of it!







The next two are quite similar. They're both angled brushes, except that one is flat and angled and the other is more curved. I think the curved one is meant for blush, but I will be using it more for contouring because it is much thinner and I am a complete contour rookie. The flatter one (which probably is meant for contouring) I used for blush, and absolutely loved it.

The next brush is this fan brush. There's something about these types of brushes, they're just so aesthetically pleasing to look at, it makes me so happy. I think that this is good if you want a lighter, more natural looking highlight. When I tried it, it definitely wasn't as powerful or blinding as when I laden my highlight on with a trowel - but that's not a bad thing!



There are then two fluffy poofy ones, a smaller and a larger. The smaller one is good as an eyeshadow blending brush. It's quite large for a blending brush, but really flexible, so it is really good for a dramatic smoky eye. The larger one, I don't really have a use for yet. I thought that it might be quite nice for highlighting smaller areas, such as the nose and cupids bow. I also thought that it might be good for sharper, more precise contouring.

Then lastly, there are three flatter shading brushes in different sizes. The smallest one I used for eyeshadow, though the bristles are very stiff which made it a little difficult. The medium sized one, I used for concealer. I have never used a brush for concealer before, and although I struggled a little, I am sure that I will get the hang of it with practise. The largest one, I actually have no idea what to do with. I think that I got possibly use it for highlight or even contouring at a push. The bristles are very flexible, and I have a feeling that it may be a very small foundation brush which you could use if you wanted a really airbrushed finish.

I love all these brushes so much and am so thankful to the person who gave them to me! You know who you are and I am forever indebted! My makeup game is going to hugely step up now that I have all the right tools and I am so excited!!!

See you soon!

February 2017 Favourites

Hi everyone! I really enjoyed writing about all my favourites last month and I hope that you did too, because I have decided to do it again!

The first thing that I have been loving in the later days of February is this Makeup Revolution eyeshadow pallet. Makeup Revolution is definitely my favourite brand, I love anything and everything they come out with. They recently released a series of My Sign pallets, pallets based on a persons star sign. I personally don't really believe in astrology, but I needed some green eyeshadow for a dressing up makeup look that I was doing, and it just so happened that it was my star sign! I have been trying really hard to incorporate more colour into my eyeshadow looks especially, and I think that green really suits my colouring, so I hope that I'll be getting a lot more wear out of it!

The next thing that I've been loving is this JML Straightening Hairbrush. I have wanted one of these for a while because I thought that it might be a good option for the days I wanted to calm my crazy curls. I actually bought my sister one for Christmas, and borrowed it once to see what it was like. As it turned out, I loved it, so I decided to save up and buy myself one. Luckily, bought it at a time when there was £10 off at Superdrug, so it was only £30! I love this thing so much. I normally don't bother with straightening my hair that much because it is so much effort (seriously, it takes me about 3 hours), but this brush makes it so easy! It takes me around 20 minutes, which is the perfect amount of time for the mornings. Although it doesn't make my hair slick straight like the flat irons do, it creates a much more natural straight-wave combination that I love. I also like to think that it isn't as bad for your hair because instead of clamping you hair in heat, you're just gently surrounding it with heat - however that may just be wishful thinking!

The next thing that I have loved through February is actually this midi skirt. We all know that I love midi skirts and can't stop buying them, but this one take my obsession to a whole new level. It's from the New Look, and to be honest, I'm never really that impressed with stuff from New Look. The only things that I've bought from there in the past few years are sale (because the prices have rocketed) Blue Vanilla items. I think that Blue Vanilla is an internal brand, and I just love everything that they make. I bought a dress in the summer by them and I lived in it all summer because I loved it so much. This midi skirt is just amazing. Although it's a little big for me, I just couldn't leave it. I love the way it moves and hangs. It's really heavy and thick, making it feel like it's amazing quality. I'll admit, I was at odds when buying this because I couldn't really afford it at a whole £15 (!!!), cut down from £30, but I'm so glad that I did buy it. I have actually had a couple of instances recently where I have majorly regretted not buying something that I really love just because it's the top end of my budget.

The next thing that I have been loving is in the food category. I am obsessed with rice cakes at the moment, and I don't know why. They are all I've been eating for all of February and most of January. I think that they are a great little snack, and a really good alternative to crisps or something like that. I personally love Tesco's own brand salt and vinegar flavour. Some people have tried it and told me it's revolting, but I love it. It tastes like a big salt and vinegar snack-a-jack (shockingly), and I have been having three in my lunch everyday. I really recommend them if you've never tried them - though, they can be weirdly moreish!

The next thing that I have been loving will probably make a few of you grimace or shudder in disgust. I have been loving running recently. For two weeks now, I have got up half an hour earlier and gone out for a run. Although it's horrible and the last thing that I want to do when I wake up (and believe, the weather at 6:00am in February sucks), it's the most beneficial thing ever. I love the feeling when I start running, when all my muscles stretch out and start moving, and I love the triumph at the end when I get in and I've made it and I've actually done something amazing whilst the rest of the world has been sleeping. So, I've made a decision. Previously when I've been running, it has never lasted very long because I didn't have a goal. I have decided that I am going to start working towards a half-marathon. I'm writing it so that you can all hold me to it. I've never done anything like it before, and I'll start with a 5k and 10k, to build my fitness - believe me, I am no runner!

The last thing that I just wanted to mention is that it was my birthday recently. I got so much love and was thoroughly spoilt by all my friends and family, I just wanted to say a super big thank you to everyone who made my birthday so special. I was going to write several posts on it, but I've been so busy that I haven't had the chance, so I'm adding it here. I have loved my birthday so much that I think I'll have another one next week, just to keep you all informed!

Those are all the things that I have been loving through February, I'm sorry, I rambled on soooooo much! I was thinking about writing about the February fails, things that I've tried and haven't liked, but to be honest they would be really short posts! I also don't like feeling like I'm being mean, but please let me know if that's something you want to read!

See you soon!

Furniture Haul!

Okay, this post is going to be a biggy.

You may be aware that for the past two years I have been in the (very slow) process of redoing my room. I have been taking photos at every stage of development, so don't worry, you'll get to see the whole journey once it is finished.

Something that has been a big expenditure and that I have been saving for since the start of the transformation is my furniture. Actually, I think that one of my first posts on this blog was about me redoing my room and the furniture that I wanted to buy.

I'm a bit of an interior design fanatic, and I love planning. I've certainly had enough time to plan everything that I am going to buy, and believe me, so much thought has gone into it. I also own extraordinary amounts of crap and it's driving me crazy. I love IKEA, so everything that I have decided to buy is from there. I am pleased to announce that as of a few days ago, I have finally bought my furniture!

Even though it hasn't arrived yet, and when it does it will take us months to put together (though I kind of love flat-pack building), I thought that it is about time for me to do a furniture haul!

The plan is to replace every single item of furniture in my room apart from my bed because that is still relatively new. My room is painted yellow and white (because yellow is the best colour ever) with a grey carpet, and my aim with my furniture is to just bring it all together and make the room look light and fresh in the summer, but cosy and cute in winter!

The first piece of furniture that I bought is probably the thing that I am most desperate for. I'd had my old wardrobe for as long as I can remember, and in the summer it finally gave up and died. This was very sad, and also a great nuisance because I keep all of my clothes in the wardrobe. I've been driven a little barmy over the past few months because I've had to squeeze all my clothes into these tiny horrible plastic drawers and hang all of my dresses on the walls. This has just made the whole room look cluttered and messy and I really don't like it.

Now before you say anything, this wardrobe is from the children's section. However, it's much stronger, much cheaper, much roomier and to be honest, much nicer than any of the wardrobes in the adults section. I didn't want anything huge, because I fold the majority of my clothes, so this is pretty perfect at only 60cm wide. And, in my opinion, it doesn't really look like a child's wardrobe, you can change the handles if you don't like them and the colourful stickers are optional - though I quite like them! I really liked the fact that it had two big drawers, because not a lot of wardrobes come with that. I am really excited about this, I think that it will be the first thing we make up when it arrives, and at £104, it is really at the lower end of the wardrobe spectrum.

The next things that I bought are actually probably the things that I am most excited about (though I love everything!). I bought two bookcases! It's actually been a dream of mine for ages to have a bookcase, so that I can display all the things I love rather than shoving them in a drawer. I also love reading and the sight of books just makes me really happy. I've never had a bookcase before and I just can't wait to get them and start playing with them! I decided to get two 40cm ones instead of one 80cm one, because I thought that they would be a lot more versatile. I could have them together to make one big bookcase, or I could have them apart, maybe on either side of my bed to make a cool feature. They are only £25 each, and I love 'em.

The next item is another one that I am really excited about, though may have been an unwise choice. I am getting rid of my desk and replacing it with a dressing table! I am fully expecting to use it as a desk, especially during exam season, but for now, I just want to put my mirror on it and arrange my makeup in the drawer and makeup it look pretty and oh-so Tumblr. I also really like the glass top, I'm hoping it will bring a little extra (and much needed) class to the room. Plus it will make all of my foundation spills much easier to clean!

Right now it gets a big boring. I bought two sets of drawers, one which is very wide and the other which is much skinnier. The purpose of the skinny one is supposedly to keep all my makeup in, but I really don't have that much of a big collection (maybe one day though!). I have a feeling that these drawers are going to be filled up with random rubbish before I know it, but for now they look really nice because they match the wardrobe (yes, they are also from the children's range). It took me a really long time to decide between these ones and a set of drawers very similar to them that were just a bit smaller. In the end I did all sorts of complicated maths to work out the volume per pound to see which one was comparatively cheaper, and went for this set!

The other set and just very plain and boring, and where I'll probably be keeping the remainder of my clothes that don't fit in my wardrobe. If not, I own plenty of other stuff that will need a home!

I also ordered a yellow desk chair and a bed net because I've seen them on Pinterest and they look like the ultimate height of cool awesomeness! I cannot wait to hang it with some fairy lights and basically become one of those edgy teenagers from Pinterest!

I did also want to get a nice little armchair, but I decided that I didn't want to scrimp on that. If I get an armchair, it will be a really good quality comfortable one that I will enjoy sitting in. Should only take me another two years to save up!

I hope you enjoyed this and are as excited to see the finished product as I am! I think that it will look really good! Oh, and because I have spent so much time on the website, I have now decided to become an IKEA personal shopper - just letting you know!

See you soon!
