making my new house a home...

If you've read the blog before, you'll know I am going to university in September, and one of my main concerns is my living arrangements, so I thought it would be a good idea to search for some quirky bits and bobs to put in my new uni room, and where better to go than Urban Outfitters.... this is what I found...

These cute letters can be placed on the wall to create any word you want... (£5 per letter, various colours available...)

Top row (from l-r): Marmite Sandwich box, good for the days when I'm on the go from lecture to lecture... (£6); Sudoku toilet roll, ok maybe realistically I'm not going to use this for toilet issues, but it made me smile!... (£6); Snowglobe Frame, this cute snow globe reminds me of my childhood, and you can fill it with a picture of your choice... (£5)

Middle row (from l-r): Large Cupcake storage, cute to hide little nicknacks in!... (£6); Elm tree Jewellery stand, this cute stand has holes that you could pin your earrings through or hang delicate little bracelets off of... (£16); Mirror Heart Stand, I LOVE THIS! This mirror inspires me to inject colour colour colour into my uni room! (£10)

Bottom row (from l-r): Fairy hook, this cute little hook would probably be used for decoration more than anything!! (£12); Family Clock, this cute clock has a built in picture frame around the edge for you to insert pics of all your loved ones, you could even do a kind evolution theme.... quite pricey at...(£40); Card curtain photo frame, this is really cute to hang on the wall as it looks more structured than a collage on the wall, at (£8) you could cover all your walls with them!

You may have already noticed I adore marmite, as does my mummy, so this cute little Marmite
Money bank (£6) will be significant in so many ways, a reminder of home, and a reminder to save my money and not spend it all in Urban Outfitters!!!!!!!!!

Once I get to uni (not for another 3 months yet haha) I'll take a pic my room for you!

SMILE, lifes good. XO

"Men aren’t stupid,

and you don’t need a complicated set of rules to find a good one who loves you.

Here’s the only rule you need:

if a man loves you, he will do anything he can to keep you around.

Anything."

Ten Top Tips for a Happy day.

I'll be back later with some summery shots that most definately put me in a happy mood, but for now enjoy the 10 tips for a happy day :)

1. Wake up to a good alarm tune, something that infuriates you will only make you down, so have an upbeat tune as you alarm tone.
2. Dress to be fabulous every second of every day. If you look fab, you'll feel it too.
3. In the words of CoCo Chanel: “Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off.” By all mean accessorize to the max, but then by taking that one item off you are not over done.
4. Smile. Its infectious incase you hadn't noticed before now. Smile at the old man walking towards you in the street, when he smiles back you'll have a surprise at the feeling you recieve.
5. Seize the day. Consider every opportunity that is offered to you, don't just say no without thinking through the possiblities. But don't go ott like the film 'Yes Man' :P
6. Only worry about the things that you can change in your life. You can't change payday from the end of the month to now,but you can make some instant extra cash (or save some) by ebay-ing, cutting down on clothes shopping, and going to bars and clubs with promotions on.
7. Be creative. Seeing the end result of something that you have made from scratch has a glorious feeling attached to it. When you can use something that you have put your hard work into you will be pretty chuffed I tell you. Dig out your mums sewing maching, or visit The Art of Jordan for some tips and ideas on being creative.
8. LOVE, appreciate and admire. Call your mum and thank her for all she has done for you. Admire your best friends new clutch bag and who knows she may lend it to you. Appreciate your boyfriends soggy spaghetti because you would have starved if it wasnt for him that night. N.B remember. NEVER give to recieve.
9. Don't eat carbs after 5pm and don't eat at all after 8pm if you can help it. Cutting out these things will make you feel less sluggish and bloated in the evenings.
10. Before you go to sleep, apologise to your best friend for saying that her car is ugly, or your boyfriend for slating that soggy spahetti he made you for dinner, because if you go to sleep with a problem you'll wake up with it too the next day.
    

Have a happy day.
