My Dream Office Wishlist

So with moving, this means I get to redo my office. Me and Ben will be sharing the office but instead of having a spare room, we both agreed that somewhere that we can film and do work is more important (I got a sofa bed instead, sorry friends).

I've been having a nosy online and came across Calibre Furniture, and after pining for some of the things I've seen on there, I thought I would pop it all into a blog post to fuel my brain into more planning. Because y'no, I don't do enough plans and lists as it is!

The prices are pretty steep, but they look so cool, it's kind of a dream wish list post, things I know I can't afford right now but wish I could. I mean, I've just bought a house so I'm struggling to afford a chocolate bar right now!

One thing to point out before I start showing you the pictures that have got my heart going fast while thinking of my dream office space, I am a sucker for storage. I have so much random stuff that I just can't (won't) get rid of, storage is one thing I just can't say no to!

The first thing I'm going to talk about is by far my favourite, I would usually leave my favourite until last but THIS, just THIS is the one thing I need in my life. It's a cave, my own personal space big enough for me to curl up (with cats) and do my work, it has a little table so I can have my macbook and actually work. Can you imagine coming home to do work and sitting on this. Click here for more breakthrough furniture!

The next thing is  a desk and chair, the chair is like a THRONE, an actual throne. They do loads of colours but cream always wins for me, either black or cream in an office with a splash of colour here and there. And then there is the desk, yes it's slightly large which I definitely do not need for my tiny little Macbook BUT LOOK AT ALL THE STORAGE. Remember me being a sucker for storage, yep.  And can you imagine THE THRONE with the STORAGE MONSTER DESK. I can't believe how excited I'm getting over furniture, but my office is my one space that has to be perfect. It is my haven in my home to film, work and play (mainly sims)   Click here for more chairs!


Okay, now for the good stuff. STORAGE. Yep I said it again, more bloody storage. I love organisation, and if they can be in pretty cabinets that just makes it even better. I feel like an old woman, storage and pretty notebooks are pretty much my life. So without further ado, these are my favourite pieces of storage. Click here for more office desks! 
              

  I love these, I actually have a little white one similar that I was given when I moved into this apartment, but this one is bigger, and better. Think of all the books and magazines and other random junk I could fit on here! Click here for  more storage.















This one, I don't think words can describe how amazing this is. I don't really drink alcohol often, but I could store ANYTHING in here. It just holds so much, and different sized drawers are always plus for me, because small things get lost in medium sized drawers and big things don't fit, so having a small AND large just makes more sense to me.








Going back to my point earlier about desk/chair being black/white/wood and the pops of colours elsewhere, THIS is what I mean. A pop of colour like this in an office would look so gorgeous. They do quite a few different colours but I just fell in love with the orange one, no idea why but it definitely happened! 
And that my friends is my dream office furniture haul wish list, whatever it is you want to call it, here it is. I can't believe how much I fell in love with the furniture on the website. The Cavern Chair was 100% my favourite and I'm not sure how I can possibly live without it now! Let me know what your favourite pieces are!

Moving Forward

Okay, so I still can't keep up with blogging AND YouTube AND work AND having any sort of a life, so bare with me. If you want to keep up to date with me, I'll leave all the links at the bottom of this post, because posts on here are going to be irregular, but still happening when I feel like writing down  whatever is in my brain instead of filming it.

The reason I wanted to write this post is to let you all know that I am still here, and still wanting to blog, even if it is rare. And also to update you with my life.

My and Ben have bought a house, actually bought a home for us and finally got on the property ladder. This is major, it is insane that at 22 I will own my own home. It also means that I get to decorate it however I want, this blog is going to become a creative space for me to share ideas, wish lists, things I love and things I want. This blog is going to become even more diverse than before, because whatever is in my mind I'll write down.

I hope that's cool, and you'll enjoy diving into my brain - as painful as that sounds.

My channel is still going to be my priority, video's are what I love to do, I grew out of blogging but that doesn't mean I don't still love it, I just prefer being in front of a camera (something I never thought I would say)

So enjoy my posts, and don't forget to come say hey!

My 5 Favourite autumn Lipsticks!

Hey Guys and Gals.

I decided to show you which 5 Lipsticks I would be reaching for this Autumn, some you'll recognise from last year (if you follow me on social media) others you may not of seen before. If you want to see the products on then I did a video on these too, check that out here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddaNKLtEspA&feature=youtu.be







 Loreal Colour Endure - 610 Mauve Amour

Revlon Super Lustrous - 477 Black Cherry











MakeUp Revolution - unknown (from 2015 
Advent Calendar) 

No7 Stay Perfect - Love Red

Sephora Rouge - Passion Red





The Loreal Lipstick is the one I tend to wear daily, for work etc as if I don't have time to top it up it just faded to a lip colour rather than the horrible shade reds and purples go if you don't top them up, especially after eatin! Revlon and No7 are the easiest to use, the colour doesn't spread - this is what I find happens more with the MakeUp Revolution and Sephora lipsticks. However I prefer the cool tone in the Sephora lipstick.



What lipsticks are you reaching for this Autumn?

Quitting Smoking Update

As I have been gone for so long, if you don't follow my Youtube/Social Media Accounts, you may not know that 146 days ago I quit smoking. It started with cutting down, a pack of 20 cigarettes used to last me between a day and two days. Since 'quitting' I have bought 3 packs of cigarettes, some may see this as a failure because I have smoked, however this is a huge achievement for me. I have only smoked while out with friends drinking, or being extremely stressed at work.

So the past 146 have been very up and down, I went straight to 0 Nicotine - meaning I went to nothing. This was BIG, everyone thought I was slightly insane but I thought if I am smoking nicotine I may as well have a cigarette - strange logic but it helped me.

The 'vape' I use is a KangerTech White Supvod 3.2 ml Top Fill Tank Starter Kit from Amazon, it cost me £23.90 and it has been so good. A lot of people tell me I need a bigger better one but to be honest, this is plenty for me.




The lovely people at Red Vape sent me over some E Liquids to try out, and oh my goodness I fell in love. The bottles are beautiful, they are perfectly designed to look great and be easy to use. The flavours I was sent were Angel Berry,  Noble Mint, Strawberry Fusion and Trinity Creme. Strawberry Fusion has quickly become my favourite E-Liquid ever. The flavours last through-out the entire tank, which I found doesn't always happen, some flavours die out after a few drags of the vape, however I could leave this liquid in for a week and it still tastes as strong as when I first opened the bottle.



The different flavours are amazing, Angel Berry is Raspberry, Dewsbury, Blurberry, Apple and Water Mint, does that not just sound like a dream? Also this is the only liquid that isn't clear, it is pink - you all know how much I love pink! 


Strawberry Fusion is creamy strawberry and vanilla, it tastes exactly like you would expect. I am a massive strawberry fan, whether it is the actual fruit, body butter, ANYTHING strawberry I am going to love.

Noble Mint is Spearmint, Ligonberry and Redcurrant, a new twist on standard mint flavour. Who would've thought that mixing mint with 'berry' flavours would turn out so well!

And last but definitely not least is Trinity Creme, this is Vanilla Custard and Caramel, it is definately a flavour that not everyone will like, but if you enjoy other flavours similar (mothers milk, custard cream etc) then this one is definitely for you! 


So my not smoking is going well, I have broken it as few times but 3 packs in 146 days - instead of around 100 packs is pretty amazing, I'm proud of myself at least!


I hope you enjoyed this post, I'll be doing a few more 'update' style posts to catch up with what I've been doing over the past 18 months without my blog!

Ramblings

Wow guys, so it's been a while.

I've been debating whether or not to start blogging again, I used to love it so much and I just got tired of it, especially with me uploading to my YouTube channel more regularly. And obviously a full time job on top of that, I struggle to have a life sometimes so it's much easier to vlog than sit behind my MacBook and write. Although tonight I just craved exactly that.

So here I am, curled up on my sofa on a chilly Friday evening in my pajamas with a cup of tea and my MacBook to keep me company. I don't know what I planned to write, or even if I was planning on publishing a post at all or just having a little write to myself. But I just wanted to write.

This has been happening more and more recently, maybe it's because I'm stressed, or because I'm working really hard. Whatever it is. I like it. I want to write, I want to take pretty blog pictures and tell you what I like and don't like. I know I do this in videos but sometimes it's nice to not have to move out of bed to do a review for you.

So here I am, telling you I'm coming back again. But this time there's no promises. There's no routine. There's no forcing myself to post until I end up hating what I once loved. This time I'll post when I want to talk to you all, or when I want a lazy day instead of filming. I'll still be posting more on my YouTube but I want to start coming back here too. To write down my thoughts that would take 20 minutes to film because it's just thinking.

If you want to keep up to date with me, I post on social media a lot so I'll leave all the links at the end of this post.

I don't know how to end this. I don't know what to title this. I don't even remember how this entire website or world works. It's been so long since I last blogged that I feel like I've completely fallen off the face of the blogging world, minus my friends keeping me updated. I don't even remember the last time I read a blog post that wasn't one of my close friends.

So yeah, that's that. I hope you've all had a lovely year? Maybe? I don't know how long it's been, but I hope you've all been well without me.
Come and say hi at some point if you fancy.
