January Wishlist

Hello lovelies :) If you are a regular reader of my blog, you'll know that I've been having a tough time at the moment with my mental health and that my blog posts have been very scarce over the last month. I am finally starting to feel in a better place again, and I thought it was about time I shared something with you guys! I hope you all had an awesome weekend, and that you enjoy reading through my January wishlist. 

January Wishlist


1. Deaths Head Moth Necklace by Curiology I have been lusting over this brand's jewellery for a while now. I absolutely love the look and design of this moth necklace. Deaths Head Moths appeal to the horror fan in me and instantly make me think of the incredible movie, The Silence of the Lambs. I used to be terrified of moths, until I got into nature photography as a hobby and realised just how beautiful they were close up. I recently got a bat neckace that had a similar design and I would love to add more like it to my collection, starting with this moth necklace.

2. Baby Beaver Cross Body Handbag How adorable is this bag!? Although, it's clearly a Sea Otter? Come on Grindstore! I bought a Sloth bag from Attitude Clothing a couple of months ago that was pretty similar to this and I think it's awesome that there are different animals available. I will never have enough cute, novelty shoulder bags. I think the bright yellow star is a lovely addition to the design, adding a little colour to the bag.

3. Lush 'Lovestruck' Bathbomb I am a massive Lush fan as my readers will know by now. I am a lover of bathbombs in general (that's all I ever seem to post on my instagram anyway!), and the ones made by Lush are a firm favourite of mine. I think it's so awesome how Lush take advantage of different special occassions and release themed products. The Valentine's range is lovely, especially this heart-eyed emoji one. The fact that one of the ingredients is lemon makes me want it even more because citrus scents are great! 

4. Wrendale Squirrel Magnetic Shopping Pad Wrendale have some of the most beautiful animal illustrations that I've ever seen; they are so nice. I go through a lot of list pads because I'm seriously list-obsessed, so I'm always on the look out for pretty list pads. I love this one because of the squirrel, which immediately makes me think of the character by Beatrix Potter, Squirrel Nutkin (forever my favourite of the stories).  What's your favourite Beatrix Potter story/character? 

5. Pro Cats Pro Choice Enamel Pin As a pin badge collector, I come across new pins online that I want almost everyday! I've spotted this lovely little pin by Punky Pins around instagram a lot and I would be so happy to add it to my collection. Punky Pins make such awesome badges and patches... you need to check them out if you haven't already!

6. NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream I first heard of NYX cosmetics whilst watching Ru Paul's Drag Race and I have been curious about trying it for myself after since. Quite a few of my favourite vloggers on Youtube use NYX lipsticks and I've seen some really pretty shades. The ones I want the most right now are 'Transylvannia', 'Madrid', 'Copenhagen', 'Berlin' and 'Budapest'. How awesome that they are named after cities too! I'm impressed that are only £5.50 each too. Has anyone used this NYX lipstick before? Please let me know what you thought in the comments :) 

7.  Colton Candles 'Large Candy Floss' Over the last month or so, I've been trying to practice a lot more self care in a bid to uplift my mood and to relax. One of my favourite things to do to cheer myself up is to have a nice, long bath. I always use a bathbomb, pop on my spotify playlist and light candles. By candles, I mean a ridiculous amount of them! haha meaning that I've done through so many candles lately and I am in need of some new ones. I thought this would be the perfect time to try some new brands out, and one of those is Colton Candles. I love how pretty the packaging is and I am interested to see what this Candy Floss candle smells like! I've never used soy candles before either so that's another reason why I would love to try this candle. 

8. Red & Black Tattoo Flocked Dress I love that Yours Clothing has been stocking Hell Bunny clothes for a few months now. I have always loved Hell Bunny's dresses and it's nice that they are available in a variety of plus sizes. There's a few dresses that I am after from the Hell Bunny collection at Yours Clothing right now, however this year one of my aims is to wear more colours that I would normally be too nervous to wear. I would love to challenge myself to wear a red dress, as I usually go for black or dark shades. I love the ribbons on this dress too! 

Thankyou for reading!

Kawaii & Geeky Wishlist #3


Hello everyone! Hope you've all had a great day :) I'm so happy that it snowed last night in Lancashire. I love how beautiful everything looks covered in snow and although, I didn't play outside in it for very long because it was freezing and I also couldn't find my wellies, I still had great fun making two little snowmen. Who else made a snowman? Today's post is my first Kawaii & Geeky Wishlist of 2016! I really enjoy putting these posts together and I hope you all enjoy reading them. 

Over the last couple of months, I've loved watching people opening blind boxes and mystery bags on youtube. I love surprises and the idea of getting special figures that are limited editions or 'rares'. I've love tokidoki for years and I'd seen unicornos but I never knew they came from blindboxes until last year. Ever since, I've been researching the different series and I would love to get some of the figures from Series 4. How adorable is the animal letter set? It's called 'Day at the zoo' and is from Paperchase. I'm in need of some new letter paper for writing snailmail.  I've also been searching for a new phone case and this one is perfect, since I love bright colours and dinosaurs! 

I'm in love with this chibi Pokemon mug! It's gorgeous and the illustrations are soooo adorable! I think the bright blue colour of the mug is lovely and my favourite pokemon Vaporeon is on there! It comes with a pretty box, too.  Have any of you heard of the new Potter Con (name changed recently to World of Wizardry) event taking place in Nottingham in August? I've just bought tickets to go with my best friend and since I'm a Ravenclaw, I'm thinking of dressing as a Ravenclaw student so I definitely need my house crest. Who else is a Harry Potter fan? Which house do you belong to?  

I've had my eye on the awesome creations from the I Like Cats shop for a while. I'd happily fill all this wishlist with the rest of their products, but this is my favourite. IDGAF is something that my neighbours cat would definitely say if she could talk! It makes me think of her and that's why I love it. I neeeeed this totoro plushie backpack! Look at the little leaf on his head!  It also looks like theres lots of room in this backpack which is great because I can't fit much into my current totoro backpack. The korilakkuma wallet is just so pretty, covered with little strawberries and flowers and tiny korilakkumas. I would love to have one of my own :) 

I really like the design of the 'My Cup of Tea' brooch. It's my aim this year to get some feminist badges and patches to cover my bags and would love to start my collection with this one. I'm so intrigued by the Little Miss Sunshine lemon meringue pie candle. I love citrus fragrances and think this would smell so yummy; the tin is also adorable. I have always adored The Moomins and I've been wanting to get a thermal flask for a while now so that I can have lots of tea when I'm writing blog posts. 


 Thankyou for reading! 


 Who else loves tokidoki? What's your favourite pokemon? 

Who's your favourite studio ghibli character and which is your favourite of the movies?

January Wishlist


You realise you spend way too much time browsing online stores when not long after Christmas, you are popping several new things on your wishlist every other day! After seeing some of the awesome presents my friends got for Christmas, I was inspired to look for some of them online which always starts as me looking for one item and discovering like five things I NEED to buy! 

Firstly, how adorable is the pikachu plushie from build-a-bear in his little charizard outfit?! This beauty has actually been on my wishlist for ages now but I heard that they were supposed to be released in January... this plushie online and another in store. I just have to get my hands on one! Another amazing item I noticed over Christmas was this Dragon Ball Z mug! It's heat reactive so the flame around Goku only appears once when you pour hot water in. I just think that's fantastic! 

I wanted to try out the Sweet Pea Yankee Candle wax melt since I'm not usually a fan of floral scents and sweet peas are the only flowers that I've ever loved the smell of! It would be great if it actually smelt like sweet peas so I can finally enjoy a floral candle. Who doesn't want these lovely dinosaur socks? I love that they are pastel coloured. Some other pastel coloured things I want are these Barry M nail polishes. They are so pretty and I need to stock up on bright colours ready for Springtime.

I've had my eye on Library of Fragrance for a while. It's awesome that they make so many interesting perfumes; there's always going to be something that you like. I want so many of them: rain, baby powder, lemon meringue, marshmallows, tangerine and vanilla cake batter. I didn't know they did a mint chocolate chip fragrance until recently and it's my favourite ice-cream flavour so I'd love to add it to my perfume collection and walk around smelling like ice-cream :) I really want to make totoro shaped biscuits and the store that sells these fantastic cookie cutters makes lots more adorable characters too. 

Thankyou for reading!
