Friday Favourites | 21st August 2015

Taking inspo from one of my favourite bloggers Hannah Gale, I have decided to do a 'Friday Favourites' post as these are one of my fave posts to read.

1) Flowers

This week my boyfriend bought me some flowers after I'd had a rough few days, he's thoughtful like that, bless. I love love love having flowers in my bedroom as they brighten up the place and they just add something different for the couple of weeks they last. The bouquet was so big that I had to split it between three vases, two of which are in my room on my desk and one downstairs in the lounge.

2) Primark homeware

A couple of weeks ago my sister and I went up to Primark to have a look at their homeware after I'd stalked their Instagram for some inspiration to spruce up my new room. Whilst in their I couldn't believe some of the gorgeous stuff they had stocked. My faves that I picked up were two candles which smell amazing, I bought a 'Pineapple & Ginger' candle along with a 'Red Berry & Jasmine' - both just £2 each! However, as they're so cheap I can't see them lasting that long, I'm already half way through them both after burning them every day since I got them (move over, Yankee candle).

Another fave of my buys was my new pillow which you may have seen if you are an Instagram follower it says 'Today is going to be a good day' and i think it's so cute! Looking forward to going in soon to check out Gabi's from VelvetGh0st new homeware collection which launched in Primark on Tuesday, as the preview online made everything look so beautiful!

3) Water

I know this is a weird favourite to have but I am absolutely obsessed with drinking water at the moment. Yesterday I opted for a glass of water over a cup of tea - if you know me, this is a big thing. I'm not sure how my obsession with water has come about, but if I don't drink enough it I start feeling dehydrated and thirsty really quickly. Therefore I always have one in my bag and drink about 2/3 bottles a day. I'm loving the fact that I'm loving it right now because it's so good for your skin and your body.

4) Good friends

Over the few months I've definitely discovered who are my most treasured friends, and who I love spending time with. I am definitely loving my friends these past few weeks mainly because most of them are home from Uni and we have loved seeing each other more often. It's so important to have good, loyal friends who stand by you and make you a better person and who you actually enjoy spending time with.

 

5) Maybelline New York Super Stay, 7 Day Nail Varnish. 

These nail varnish's are my new favourites! The colour is so full and bright that you only need two coats and it looks perfect, and it lasts ages without chipping. I have the Red Hot Getaway (872) colour and Sea Sky (874) both bright and summery colours - definitely recommend. I'm already eyeing up their Autumn colours readying myself for the reds, purples and berry colours that will soon be gracing my nails.

6) Little Mix

I am absolutely loving 'Black Magic' by Little Mix right now and have found myself fan girling over them. I listen to their music pretty much every time I listen to any music and sing 'Black Magic' with out realising I am! I have been following the Zayn/Perrie split since it was announced and I can definitely say I am team Perrie! It broke my heart when she started crying on stage after she'd been so contained and careful in interviews, bless her. I am also loving the girls friendship towards Perrie and each other, they are such good advocates for girl power and sisterhood which I am totally an advocate for and love all that jazz!

7) 'One Line A Day' book 

I have bought the infamous 'One Line A Day' diary from Urban Outfitters after attempting to justify myself that it was worth £12. It's such a cute little keep-sake, you have a short space to write in what you've done that day and on the page their is five more little spaces which are for the next five years of that day. I'm looking forward to having completed a year and being able to look back on what I did this time last year, next year (does that make sense, no)! Haha, it will be a bit like time-hop, but more personal. I like the time that I've started to do it as it means I have two years left of Uni that I can write in and then three years out in the 'real world' which I think will be good to compare and document!

What are you loving this week?
