2014 and Wish List: THE SALES!!!

I found this on pinterest (here) and thought it was a great thought to start the new year with!

I hope you all had a good time celebrating the new year last night/today, Happy New Year to all of you lovely readers! Yesterday it made it 4 months since I had written and posted my first blog post and I can't believe how well my blog has done, getting nearer and nearer to my first milestone now.. 100 followers! That itself gives me so much motivation to continue to post regularly (when I'm back at uni it does get a lot harder) but I'm going to try and post at least twice a week. Another resolution, or more of an aim is to get myself a part-time job this year so that I will be a lot better off financially. But, I can only TRY with this because I've been applying and going to job interviews for a while and I still don't have one so we'll see and hopefully it'll happen very soon!

Anyway, on with what this post was originally aimed at.. my wish list of the sales!

1. AX Paris Aztec Skater Dress £16.99

2. Bed Head Shampoo and Conditioner £20.96

3. L'Oreal self-tan mousse £7.49

4. Soap and Glory Gift Set £4.00

5. Miss Selfridge top £15.00

6. Dorothy Perkins Chain Necklace £7.50

7. No.7 Mirror £15.99

8. Macadamia Flawless Finish Set £29.35

Do you have any new years resolutions? What's on your wish list?

25 things to do before Christmas

Hello Everyone!

Now that it's November I thought it would be an acceptable time to post a '25 things to do before Christmas' post. This is my own personalised list of things that I aim/want to do before the old guy in the red suit comes to visit us.. I probably won't get to do everything that's on this list but I'll sure try!

Sooooo Christmasy - image available here
