Help.

I need help. Serious help. I'm an impulse buyer. I cannot stop buying clothes which I don't even need, but the cheap(ish) prices and new items each week draw me in, making me waste pretty much all my money on clothes.

Let's take today for example. I came to write a blog about a gig I went to, but instead I went to browse the Topshop website and ended up buying £56 worth of stuff. I got a pair of jeans which I need, I bought a top to wear to go see The Script, and then I bought another top because I had a similar one like it and loved it so much. I say that I need these things, when in reality I just want them. I have too many clothes but nothing ever to wear.

I would say I am a good saver with my money, but every month, quite a bit of my pay goes on clothes and shoes. Who can blame me though? The amount of nice things out just now, and all the sales always makes me want to buy things, even if I don't need them. I am really bad for buying clothes and then claiming to not have any shoes to wear with them(I own about 30 pairs of shoes) so I have to go and buy a pair of shoes just to go with that outfit.

The worst thing about me impulse buying all these clothes though, is that I probably wear pyjamas more than anything. I come in from school and put my pyjamas on most nights of the week, then at weekends all I do is work. So why do I need to keep buying all these clothes?

The honest answer is, I can't help it.

Sooner or later, my money is going to burn a hole in my pocket.

Please send help.

January Faves 2015

Seeing as January was the first month of the year, I decided to try some new things out. And many of the things I loved. So I thought I would share some of the products and bits and bobs I have been loving throughout January.

Yankee Candle Melts

 

I got a candle burner for Christmas and I got many different melts to burn in it. These are only three that I got. I got clean cotton, Baby Powder, Strawberry Buttercream, Lavender and Vanilla. I am loving the Yankee Candle versions of these because they smell so good and the smell stays for ages, rather than for two seconds. They are also really cheap to buy which is a bonus.

 

 

Mac Lipstick- Girl About Town

 



This was mentioned in a previous blog, but I love it so much that I thought I would mention it again. This was another Christmas present and the first MAC lipstick I was given. I love wearing pink shades and this one is perfect. It goes under as a fuchsia and it is super bright. What I love about it is that is very long lasting. It is a bit more pricy than high-street lipstick (£15.50) but they are definitely worth it.

Girl Online

I would say that I am not a big reader, so when I got this book, I was unsure that I would enjoy it. However, I couldn't put it down. Its by Zoe Sugg (aka Zoella) and it is about a blogger who suffers from anxiety but then goes to New York and meets a boy. I won't give any spoilers but I would definitely recommend you to read it.

Sunflower shorts

This photograph does not do these shorts justice, but I love them so much! They are quite like running shorts but are very dressy. I got them off a website called ARK and they were on sale at £12 which was a bargain! I love dressing them up with a black long sleeved crop top and a pair of nice boots. I wouldn't normally wear something like this but I thought I would try something new, and I love them!

Barry M Nail Varnish

Barry M nail varnish is by far my favourite brand of nail varnish. I feel it goes on really nice, dries really quickly and is so pretty when it is on. They have a wide range of colours and the three pictured are some I either bought or got for Christmas. I really like pink and purple colours and also ones that are pastel. These nail varnishes are very cheap, ranging from £2.99 to £3.99, so they aren't too expensive.


I have many more favourites from January, but I didn't want to make this blog too long. I enjoy using all of these products and I hope I have inspired you to try some of them yourself.
