DIY: Stash & Store your Lush Soaps !

Hello Lovelies, 

This is my first attempt at a DIY video ! 
I personally LOVE reading posts about cool or creative things bloggers have come up with & have been wanting to try a DIY post myself. 

So i am super obsessed with Lush soaps, but they're always under the sink in paper &  plastic wrap, which is kind of a shame because they're so pretty !! After a but of thinking I came up with a great way to store them that keeps them protected from bathroom moisture but also shows them off.

This is how:

You will need: 

* Lush Soaps 

* Roll of Cling Wrap 

* A Glass Jar 

* A Knife (Cheese knives work best)

* A Chopping Board 

* A Pair of Scissors 

First, cut the blocks into smaller pieces. Lush always seems to sell their soap in weird or obscure shapes ?

Second, wrap the pieces in the cling wrap really tight 

Third, make a big pile of delicious Lush chunks & plop them all in a decorative glass jar to keep in you bathroom 

Here is it !! 

Please excuse my icky bathroom tiles, we're planning a renovation soon ! 
As you can see I like to 'group' things on shelves 

Hahahaha until next time

Organised Life

My favorite thing to do at Home is spend time with M. 


When we're together, just chilling, I'm not really worried about what the house looks like, but any homeowner/renter will agree that it doesn't take very long for things to get a little messy and unkempt ! 


I happen to love organising ! My wardrobe is my favorite place to just spend time in, hanging things and folding everything nicely...i really enjoy ironing and doing laundry, it makes me happy to see the clothes i've invested a lot of money into being worn, clean and stored well ! 


Other areas of the house require attention too, so in my quest to get everything 'sorted' i've looked to the internet for ideas and inspiration 




1. The Bathroom

Bathroom organisation has a habit of being quiet plain, white drawer organisers or a boring toothbrush cup ! I love these ideas that are colourful and practical, i especially love the idea of the cake stand as its super easy to access, i like my home to be organised and livable 




2. The Kitchen 

I am addicted to tea ! In winter, even more so, which makes me lust for a gorgeous tea chest to store all my varieties in. I've seen one really similar in Hot Dollar (of all places) ! Dollar stores are wonderful for storage containers, alot of them stock 'made in japan' ranges that tend to be way more durable ! I'd like to personalise all of mine with labels like the ones in the second picture 




3. The Wardrobe 

ll

Oh my gosh ! To have that shoe cabinet ! I love the lighting & the storage strip down the middle, at the moment my shoes are on the floor under the bottom rail in my wardrobe but i'm looking for a better way of storing them, its nice to be able to see them so i don't forget about them ! In my wardrobe i have all my clothes on the same hangers, except for clip hangers, it's so easy to see what you're after when everything hangs from the same height. Ever since reading 'Style' by Lauren Conrad I've been using huggable hangers & they're the best hangers i've ever had ! M has a set in black & mine are pink, they can be seen here 




4. Jewelry

How pretty is your jewelry ? It's the best thing to use for psuedo art & as a display in your bedroom or wherever you keep it. I have made myself a jewelry photo frame & i also display it on a jewelry tree and in little vintage dishes on my vanity. For larger items (like watches & cuffs) i think trays would hold everything great, especially if you keep items in their original boxes




5. The Study 

When we bought our house the second bedroom was a nursery, at this stage in my life i don't really have a use for it so it's going to become a study! The walls are already green (which is really soothing on the eyes) & we have a printer and filing cabinet, all we need is a desk & some sort of shelving unit, nothing makes you work easier than an organised space to do it ! 

5. Life 

How clean is your handbag ? Mine is pretty good but i know there are things in there that don't need to be ! I love watching 'what's in my bag' videos & would love to do my own blog post on mine, i find it so interesting to see what other girls carry around. This bag is super organised & cute ! Before next weeks shop M & i are going to trial a 'meal plan', i hear its life saving & because we both work full time will probably save alot of time & wastage. Will let you know how that goes 


Hopes you've enjoyed reading my plans to create an organised life, i'd love to hear some of your tips !! I'll keep you updated

decluttering like a mofo

It started in the bathroom

Then i was overcome with the need to de-clutter/clean/re-arrange & 'streamline' all thing !

So, below are some examples of my handiwork

TMI ? ^^

Presenting, the eyelash draw <3

Is it just me, or do MAC palettes get crazy stained with finger prints ?

What i keep it all in, so pretty

oh my ! the absolute serenity of a room without clutter
