New start, New ideas


So, as I explained in my last post there are a few difficult changes going on in my life at the moment. Going through this I have decided to begin a new project. Re-decorating my bedroom.

I last decorated it a few years ago and by now it's starting to look a bit run down. I've been thinking of giving it a lick of paint for a while but now, after everything why not give it a full blown makeover. 

So i'm thinking I'll keep it the same sort of theme, girly and vintage with pastels being the main colours. 

And being on a budget b&m seemed like a great place to start looking.

So here's a summary of what I bought.

I love shopping at B&M, the products are cheap but are still of quite good quality. But it's one of those shops that you can either be lucky and find some great bargains or be leaving with the same empty trolley you came in with. 

This time however I think I got quite lucky. I only bought three items but they were exactly what I was looking for. 

so here are some close up's and prices of what i bought:


Tea Party photo strip: £2.99



cream 3 pack ceramic hanging wall hearts: £3.99


small cream bird cage: £2.99



cream heart shaped plate: £1.99



hanging wall with lights: £4.99


Then, after spending a good half an hour of my short but sweet shopping spree at B&M I decided it would be a good idea to have a walk around the range because even though it's a little more expensive the products are still cheaper than most stores and are of amazing quality. 

cake stand:  £11.99/£12.99



pink candle with butterfly: £3.99



pink roses with cream pot: £2.99


Hopefully you enjoyed this quick post in the first of this short series. I will be posting more hauls, DIY projects and finally the progress I'm making on re-decorating my room then finally images once it's been finished. I could really use some cute ideas so feel free to comment if any come to mind <3

About me

Hey! 

My name is Jess, I'm 17 and am currently a sixth form student studying Business, Design and in September I'm hoping to begin studying nail art in college. 

Lately my life has made a dramatic, unexpected change and therefore decided I needed something to take my mind off everything going on around me. I have enjoyed reading and scrolling through random blogs for a few years now and have been waiting for the right time to begin my own, until now I have never found anything i thought interesting enough to talk about or I have been too busy to sit down and think of what to say but now that I have nothing to interrupt me I can't think of a better opportunity.  

My first love is home design but makeup and anything else beauty related comes a close second. Therefore I am dedicating this blog to anything design, beauty or lifestyle related.

I'm hoping to share my thoughts, ideas and anything else possible with anyone who may be interested in reading, but mostly I am doing this as a sort of diary to read back to myself. 

So there we go, a short and cheerful insight into what this page is all about, I hope what I write will interest a few and i'm looking forward to many great posts.
