Five good things to start 2017

1. Hello! So I thought i'd write a quick blog post - i've really missed my little space on the internet recently! Back in mid-2016 I started a new job which involves a 30 mile commute and a few months later found myself in a relationship so finding time to myself isn't something that happens very often! I loved writing my five good things posts and I really regret not keeping them up so thought i'd start the year with something easy to write!

2. I'm on a bit of a mission to save at the minute; i'm hoping to buy my first house later this year and finally put an end to my long commute (after spending 3 hours sat in traffic a few weeks ago i'm so ready for this!). I can't wait to have my own home and i've got so many ideas thanks to my obsession with Pinterest! I couldn't resist the little cactus above which was £2.50 from Primark recently!

3. My blogging break means i've got lots of new beauty favourites to share (hopefully in a separate post) but the Barry M Jelly Nail Paints deserve a special mention. I used to love the Speedy ones but they chip quite easily and the really shiny finish and long lasting colours means i've converted to the Gelly ones. Once i've found the time and patience to use them, my favourite colours are Rose Hip, Pink Lemonade and Sugar Apple.

4. Last year I went on my first holiday abroad in 10 years to Paphos in Cyprus, and i'm now planning a little trip with some friends to somewhere warm this summer! I'm going to share more photos from my trip as I can't recommend it enough - from the nicest food to paragliding above the sea, I came home with the best memories. And now I can't wait for another break from work and some sun, even if it means I have to save a bit more for my house!

5. And finishing with music (as usual) my current favourites are the new Fenech Soler album Zilla (Undercover is my fave), Prodigal Son by Rationale, LMS by San Scout and the new Rag'n'Bone Man album, Human.
