where have I been?

Hey there, welcome back to my blog!

After a busy few weeks, I finally have the time to sit down and write a post. I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and are having a great new year so far. I couldn't have been happier to leave 2016 behind!

If you work in retail, you know how exhausting Christmas is but I'm afraid the madness didn't end there for me as I went straight from the festive season into cramming season for my January exams which are finalllllly over! I'd forgotten what it's like to do absolutely nothing... :)

My final semester of college starts next week so I'm hoping that I'll be able to manage my time better this term than last as I seemed to be constantly wrecked with work and college that I just hadn't the time to blog too.

A new year's resolution of mine is to be more organised so pop back weekly and we'll see how that goes!

Until next time...

a christmas gift guide: for her



Hey there, welcome back to my blog!


With the festivities fast approaching and the Christmas music already playing in work, I've put together a Christmas gift guide in case you have absolutely no idea what to get the ladies in your lives. Don’t worry; I know that men are the hardest to buy for so I have a gift guide full of ideas for them going up next!

payday purchases #1

Hey there, welcome back to my blog!

I've had such a hectic few weeks with work and college but obviously I made the time to shop!
This is the first post in my 'Payday Purchases' series - part of me is hoping that there won't be many as my car insurance won't fund itself but lets be real...the countdown to payday next month is on already!
