Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Earrings
I've been a huge Harry Potter fan for years! It was the first book I ever read and I even have the Deathly Hallows image tattooed on my arm. I purchased a lovely trio of earrings from a Depop seller a couple of weeks ago and I have been loving these Deathly Hallows earrings. I was never really a fan of hooped earrings, I used to have a tiny pair of hoops when I was younger and I sometimes wear a hoop in the top of my ear, but never hoops this big. I saw these on the sellers page and thought that they were so different! They look really nice when I have my hair down and I've had quite a few compliments on them. I would definitely recommend the seller for these earrings, she sells all kinds of homemade jewelry. I will link her Instagram below!
LUSH Oxford Street Tote
I have been looking for this tote for ages! An Instagram user was having a destash and I saw she was selling this tote and I just had to have it! I love the bright colours, it's so different from the black Fighting Animal Testing tote that I already have (two) of. This tote couldn't have came at a better time! When Reece was over in July, I purchased a new handbag and I was tired of backpacks and satchels. I got a really good discount in TKMaxx on a handbag and I really liked it, until the zip broke! So I returned the item as faulty and this arrived the next day! I know these are supposed to be shopping bags, but I like using it as an everyday handbag. I carry two small make up bags that I use to keep my little things in, like make up and my keys. It's so much easier to use than a normal handbag and great sturdy material!
Painting
So I work for an Agency, which means that any job I take with them is only temporary and will eventually come to an end. I've been in my current job for the past two years, but in two weeks time my current job will be coming to an end. It's a really sad time as I really enjoy my job and I've grown to like the people around me, but all good things must come to an end! While I'm hunting for a new job, I've decided to take up painting again. I took Fine Art for GCSE and A Level, and even though I didn't do exceptionally well (which to be honest, I blame my teacher for!) I really enjoyed painting, especially painting text. I decided to decorate my room a little, and I painted a few lovely quotes on my bedroom wall, I wanted to carry on painting but I'd ran out of wall. So I decided to paint on paper and sell them. I've had a few people say that they're nice and a few people have liked the items, but I've only sold one - sad face. If you are interested in any of the paintings that I am creating, or me making a personalized one for you please check out my Depop page under the username @iyastevie.
LUSH Snow Fairy Solid Perfume
One of the best things about this season, in my opinion, is that LUSH will release their Christmas and Halloween products. Snow Fairy is one of them scents that just takes you to Christmas and makes you think of gifting and relaxing at home with a movie and blanket. I use Snow Fairy all year round to wash my hair, but I especially love it at Christmas time. It has such a sweet candy like scent, it makes a great perfume. And with Snow Fairy in my hair and Snow Fairy on my wrists, I smell incredible!
Yankee Candle in Candy Cane Lane
Talking about Christmas, this is my all time favorite candle, ever! I love minty scents in the bath and I also love them in candle form too. Candy Cane Lane has a gorgeous peppermint scent with a slight vanilla hint. Yankee Candles are known for their amazing scents and the great throw that they give. This candle can fill my entire room for days! I have a medium jar, two small jars and many votives and wax warmers in this scent. I don't normally purchase more than one or two of the same scent, but I just can't help it with this candle! I've been burning this while writing this post and I can't even put into words how much of a comforting scent it is, it's perfect. Oh, and if you don't like spiders, they don't like peppermint - so that another great reason to purchase this candle!
House Plants, Succulents and Cacti
I really like watching videos on YouTube of house tours and bedroom tours. A lot of the time, people have plants in their bedroom and I always think that its a really nice touch. I bought this house plant a few months ago and I've actually managed to keep it alive! I can't say that for the other one that I bought with it though. I bought three mini succulents but I also managed to kill them off too, so I replaced the two dead ones with cactus, as I can't possibly kill them! They look so lovely placed on my drawers set with my salt rock candle holders, I promise I'll take better care of these plants!
LUSH American Pie shower jelly
I literally received this in the post yesterday and I have already fallen in love with it. I have a whole post dedicated to my shower jelly collection that you can find here if you aren't sure what a shower jelly does or it's purpose. This one is straight up there in probably my top three! If you're familiar with LUSH, you'll know the conditioner American Cream, this jelly has the same scent! It smells like a strawberry vanilla milkshake and it is amazing! This product is only available in the LUSH Kitchen, but if you can get your hands on it I would highly recommend you do!
Pretty Little Liars (Photo Credit: Google Images)
So unless you've been living under a rock since 2010, I'm going to guess that if you haven't watched it, you've probably heard of Pretty Little Liars. Pretty Little Liars is an American TV show based on a set of books by Sara Shepard. The TV show has been going on since 2010 and will be coming to an end next year. I have watched this TV show from start to finish probably 4 times now, but as I know the whole show will be coming to a close shortly, I decided to watch it all over again. Seven and a half seasons or secrets, lies and pretty little people. If you haven't already watched this, I would really recommend grabbing Netflix and sitting down with some snacks and digging in! This TV show will play with your heart strings, make you bawl your eyes out and make you laugh so much your cheeks hurt. With actresses such as Ashley Benson, Lucy Hale, Sasha Pieterse, Troian Bellisario and Shay Mitchell, the acting is amazing and the story line hooks you!
For me, these products get a..
