January Favorites

I love watching and reading other bloggers or youtubers monthly favorites so I have decided that this year I am

going to do my own monthly favourites. 

Each month I will be sharing things with you that I loved that month.

They won',t be specific categories just random things that I love. 

It could be make up, books, homewares, anything really. 

LOreal Paris Infallible Matte Foundation

This month I have been loving this foundation.

It's a matte foundation which has a great coverage and is meant to last 24 hours (not that I have ever had foundation on for that long). This foundation gives me a flawless base and doesn't look cakey. 

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer

 I love this concealer and I don't think I'll be using any other one anytime soon. 

I use the shade fair and mainly use it under my eyes and on any spots that I may have. 

Soap and Glory Hand Food

My hands this time of year get terribly dry so I am always on the search for a hand cream 

that works well and that smells good. 

I don't buy Soap and Glory products that often as I try and buy cheaper brands.

However I do love this hand cream as it keeps my hands hydrated and it smells amazing. 

Dyson Upright DC40

Just before Christmas our hoover broke down and as we always got cheaper ones

that didn't last that long, we decided that we would invest in getting a Dyson. 

We decided to go for the upright one as we have most of the time gone for an upright hoover and I have never been keen on a cylinder hoover. 

We are so glad that we decided to invest in a Dyson as its the best hoover we have

ever had. I just had to include it in this month's favourites. 

The Bloggers Planner

I have to mention the Bloggers Planner. 

It has made me so much organised with keeping track of 

blog posts, stats etc and I am so glad that Stuart got me this for Christmas. 

I love that it's Monochrome which I am really loving at the moment. 

Himalayan Salt Lamp

Another present that Stuart got me for Christmas is a favorite this month. 

I'm not sure if its just a placebo but I am feeling that this does work and 

is keeping the air in our bedroom more clearer.

The Life Changing Magic Of Tidying Up

This book by Mari Kondo is fab. It's made me want to be more organised and 

I am hoping when Stuart is off this week I will have a bit of time to get some organisation done. 

Well, those are my January favourites. 

What are your favourites this month?

I'd love to know, as usual comment below 

and let me know. 

Home Decor and Organisation Plans

Hi everyone so today I have decided to share with you my plans for our home and

organisation in 2016. If you read my post on my new years goals you will know being more organised was on that list. 

I also did a post called back to normality where I organised a few things to get us a little more organised after Christmas.

 I have now got a copy of The life changing magic of tidying up and am excited to start tidying and being more organised. I want to finish the book first before I start going on a major tidying session but I want to share with you today my ideas on what I would like to do decor and storage wise with our home as well. 

Bathroom

I feel that are bathroom is pretty organised but I do want to organise our 

bathroom unit as I need to find space to fit all our cleaning bits out reach from Blake. 

I also want to get rid of beauty/skincare related products that I know that I wont use as

it will make more space in there. 

I also want to get a new bath mat as our white one is getting a bit tatty now so would love to get a pale blue one which will go well with the theme of the bathroom. 

Our room

We really need to be more organised and tidy with our wardrobe and chest of drawers. 

I plan on getting rid of some of my clothing as I have loads of bits which either don't fit or I've not worn for awhile or even just look a bit tatty now. Clothing is one of the sections on the KonMari method that I am looking forward to organizing. 

I also want to sort out under bed storage as we have some boxes under there which I want to have a sort out of. 

One of the things I really want to do is have an extra photo hook up in our room to make our home feel more personal to use with special photos. 

Blake's Room

Blake's room is probably one of the most organised rooms in our flat. 

I have managed to find places to put all of his toys so far and know pretty much where everything is. 

I want to put up two more photo hooks as Blake has two canvas's that I want up on his wall which is currently stored in his wardrobe so that they are out of the way. 

Living room

I feel that our living room has plenty of stuff to organise and make more personal. 

I'll start with decor bits I really want us to have another photo frame above the sofa. 

I also am thinking of getting a few more decorative bits to go near our fire place which you can't see. 

As for organisation I want to organise the plastic drawers you can just about see. 

We currently have our paperwork all in there which I want move elsewhere and use

the plastic drawers to put CDs in. 

I also need to have a sort out of our book shelf which you can't see in this photo as we have far to many books. I need to be strict and get rid of some. 

The other two things is a wicker hamper which is next to the sofa that has miscellaneous  stuff in and I want to use it as more storage for toys. 

The other things is our table and chairs which again you can't see. 

I find that things just get dumped there and then just gets stuffed in plastic drawers.

Kitchen

I'm going to be honest I hate our kitchen it's so small and we just have so many kitchen bits that we have no room for such as our steamer, breadmaker, grill etc. 

I want to keep stuff but literally have no room for it in the kitchen and we only have a small storage cupboard where we keep bits such as Christmas bits and our hoover and steamer. 

Our kitchen overall is the messiest room in our flat. 

I'm really hoping the KonMari Method works for us. 

I'm planning that whenever we get something new in the future that we

do the one in out thing. We will have to see. 

Do you have any plans for Decor and organisation?
