WE HAVE BOUGHT A HOUSE!

We have been living in our first home together for three weeks now and I am finally settled in.

I don’t think I realised how much I actually missed blogging until I sat down to type and write this post. It’s sad that I have missed out on a lot in the past few months but..

I AM BACK and ready to continue my blogging journey.

I wanted to share some of the first photos of our new home with you guys as I have been very much inspired by the blogging community, social media and Pinterest for ideas.

Our garden overlooks the beautiful fields where I grew up. I couldn’t ask for a better view to wake up to!

Were feeling very festive at the moment in our living room. Our tree is a 7ft spruce from Tesco and our Garland is from Buyology. It is so cosy in here, especially when the fire is lit.

Our bedroom needed a neutral and calm theme so we opted for cream and grey with pops of colour.

The kitchen is the heart of the home and I love it. We chose to add hints of copper in our accessories with my favourite being the clock from Dunelm. It matches perfectly with our coffee and sugar pots from Next.

Our dining room had a feature wall with the colour Meteor dust, a grey blue shade. Our side board is from Tesco and our table and chairs are from Ikea

Isn’t this the most adorable garland? My sister bought it for us along with a few other delights…

Our bathroom is simple but classic, we went for a white and beige theme in here, very neutral.

So as you can imagine, alongside working full time etc, it has been pretty hectic these past months but its good to be back!

Christmas nails- Basics

Uncategorized

Ok, so for christmas I love to do my nails and make them festive for the season.
I have absolutely been in love with deep reds and maroons to suit the holiday season!

Not only do red tones compliment ALL skin colours, its extremely wearable for almost any occasion. Brighter and cooler reds suit a tanned skin tone whereas darker and richer colours suit a paler complexion.

As my skin tone is quite fair, I chose to use a dark red by ‘George’ for Asda in the shade ‘Plum’.
Now this nail varnish is a gel polish that dries super glossy and pigmented giving perfectly polished fingers in just one coat.
The rich colour gives a classy and elegant look to outfit and is perfect for christmas parties and events.
I have currently been wearing it for five days now without chipping. It is PERFECT….. And it was only £3. A christmas bargain!
