PRETTY YOUNG THING

I picked this bag up in Accessorize the other day, I went along to a blog event at the Bullring Birmingham store. Again i'm loving this gorgeous Blush Pink colour right now. I already have this bag in Mustard too, it's such a good size and a lovely everyday bag. Accessorize actually have £10 off if you spend £50 so have a look you could even treat yourself and your mum!

I love getting things personalised, I think it's really thoughtful and shows that a lot of thought and effort has gone into the gift. How lovely is this personalised wine glass from giftsonline4u.com, I think most moms love a glass of wine, mine does! So this personalised wine glass will be perfect.  I will get her a nice bottle of rosè to go with her lovely new glass, it's a really good size too which my mom will be pleased about!  The engraving is really nice and clear and the glass came in a box which makes it really easy to wrap. I think it's such a nice touch getting it personalised and if your mom isn't a fan of wine they also stock champagne flutes and other glasses. They also stock a personalised label that you can stick right onto any bottle. giftsonline4u.com have loads of personalised gifts to choose from so head over and check them out. They stock loads of lovely gifts such as frames, jewellery and mugs which can all be personalised. They offer free standard delivery so order now or pay just £5 for next day delivery to guarantee delivery before Sunday. They stock a huge range of gifts for everyone all year round so think of them for your next special occasion.   

I also picked out this Joules Mug from Amara.com again they stock other colours too. I'm loving the pink floral design. It's a great size, I like a big mug. The floral print is really pretty and would make a lovely gift, it comes in a nice box too.


I hope you got some lovely gift ideas from my gift guide, i'm very excited for my first Mothers Day!
I need to pick up a few bits for my mom to go with her wine glass and wine, I was thinking of booking us a spa day so we can have a nice chilled day together. What have you got your mom for Mothering Sunday?

Today I thought i'd share some gift ideas for her! In my family we have alot of birthdays throughout August and September and most of us are women so it gets abit crazy and I have lots of gifts to buy. My birthday was on Monday so I thought it would be fun to put together a few gift ideas for her and include a few bits I actually got for my birthday aswell as some gifts that I would gift to my friends and family.

First up is flowers! I love getting flowers and love having flowers around the apartment. I always buy flowers for my mom and sometimes for my friends and family. If my mom is working I will usually order flowers to get delivered to her work, You can find some really beautiful flowers online at Flying Flowers they have a huge selection of bouquets for any occasion. They offer free standard delivery or you can upgrade to guarantee delivery. I just search for 'lilies' as they are my moms favourite and it brings up lots of amazing bouquets full of gorgeous lilies.

I really want the Naked Heat Palette and think it's such a good gift idea for any beauty lover. You get 12 really decent size shades and they are colour's that would suit most people as there's some gorgeous brown/natural shades. I already own a few of the Urban Decay palettes and they are my favourite eyeshadows. The quality is amazing and worth every penny.

You can't go wrong with a candle. Whether you opt for a cheap supermarket brand one or go for something more luxurious like the Winter candle from The White Company. I love the candles from TkMaxx and would recommend checking them out if your on a budget but want to get a gorgeous designer candle.

I have a charm bracelet from Thomas Sabo which i've had for a few years. They are such a good gift idea as you can buy so many different charms for them. The bracelet wasn't very expensive and the charms vary in price but start at around £20. Clint got me a gorgeous heart charm for my birthday and had it engraved which was so thoughtful and it was my favorite gift. My mom also got me a little pink baby-grow charm which is super cute!

Perfume is also a good gift idea, again whatever budget you have you can find something for everyone. Next do some really good fragrances and you can usually get a good deal if you go to places like Bodycare or Savers. If your after something more expensive then check out YSL Black Opium, it's my all time favourite perfume. I've had a few bottles now and it's just such a gorgeous smell.

I was so excited when I opened up my new stylPro brush cleaner. It's an electric brush cleaner that dramatically speeds up cleaning and drying your brushes. If you've not seen one before then check it out. I've used my sisters before and it's amazing, I can't wait to clean my brushes.

Finally I love getting sweets and chocolate for my birthday and I spotted this retro sweet hamper on Flying Flowers and it's such a cool idea. You might be struggling what to get someone, maybe you have a friend or family member that lives across the country and you don't know what to get them, you can have this sent straight out to them so you don't have to worry about paying extra for delivery and they get to eat lots of yummy retro sweets, they also have lots of other hampers to choose from.


Have you got any birthday's coming up? Is your family like mine and all the birthdays are bunched together or do you have birthdays all through the year? What gifts would you like to recieve for your birthday this year?

Did you know that today is National Stress Awareness Day? I though i'd share some tips and tricks on how I de-stress! I stress about alot of things and worry about things that I shouldn't really worry about so I find these methods help me to chill and relax.

1. Reading, I like to get all cosy and snug in bed and read a good book. I also have this mindfulness journal which I picked up in The Works which I sometimes read and complete a few activities. This helps to calm me and distract my mind.


2. Get a colouring book! You can pick up a colouring book from anywhere, your local supermarket or pound shop. These are really relaxing and just take your mind off reality. I use mine all the time. It's nice to just listen to some music and colour in for a little while, even if it's just 10 minutes whilst you make your breakfast.


3. Watch a film or series: I love getting into my pj's and watching a good film or series, I love Netflix because it has so much to choose from. We've been watching American Horror Story which is soo good! If you haven't watched it yet you can check out this article which breaks it all down for you , A guide to American Horror Story. I'd really recommend it! I really want to start a new series, I think we're gonna watch Black Mirror next.  We also go out to the cinema alot because we both love to watch films! If you check out My Voucher Codes they always have offers and vouchers to visit the cinema for less!



5. Bath time! One of my favorite ways to relax and chill is by having a bath. I light some candles and get a Lush Bath bomb and relax. I'll soak in the bath for ages and sometimes I pop a face mask on and take a cup of tea in with me to unwind and think about nothing.
