Little Loves

It's been a while since I've shown you some of the things I've been loving, so I figured it was time to rectify that! 

First things first, I can't get enough of fresh flowers recently! I'm obsessed with these beautiful purple carnations, the colour is just stunning!

I've been spending so much time working from home, that I've been finding different desk-side essentials. I've fallen in love with this lamp that I picked up in Ikea a while back, it helps give a bit more 'daylight style' light to the room. Our living room doesn't get much light, we've only got windows on one wall which happens to face another building, so it never gets particularly bright in there. This helps me feel like it's not the middle of winter, and stops me straining my eyes constantly! I've also fallen back in love with my giant Starbucks tumbler, which I keep on my desk filled with water and fruit. It helps me remember to drink water (and it means I don't have to get up and fill up my glass as often because it's huge!). 

Whilst I love my desk, working 14 hours plus a day means I get pretty sick of it, so I like to have alternatives available. I'm not so productive if I take my laptop to bed, so I've been working on making the sofa a bit cosier, so I can snuggle up and work there! I picked up this blanket in Tesco for a mere £10 and it's the softest thing I've ever had the pleasure of touching. It's so incredibly cosy, I've taken to draping it around my shoulders and wondering about all day wearing it! 

I've also taken to working on my iPad a bit more. I have an iPad mini, and I bought it to use at uni and for travel. Whilst it's great for that, I tend to neglect it when I'm home, but recently I've been using it to work when I'm in bed or on the sofa. It makes a nice change from my laptop or desktop, especially when my eyes start to get tired from all the screen time, it's a little softer. It it's starting to get a little slow now though, it might be time for an upgrade!

I mentioned in the last Sunday post that The Boy and I had a bit of a splurge last week. I picked up a new pair of sunglasses. I get so much wear out of my glasses, even when it's cloudy if I'm driving. I had a gorgeous pair of Michael Kors sunglasses that were stolen from my handbag last year, so when I spotted these, I couldn't say no. They're not my normal style but they actually really suit me, and I like that the arms are thinner than my other glasses, they're better for driving!

And lastly, let's talk about Aero Bubbles shall we? I'm not a big chocolate lover, I'm the sorta gal who can have two squares of a chocolate bar and then wrap it up for another day. Weird I know. But I'm totally obsessed with Aero Bubbles,  I can demolish an entire pack of an evening and I absolutely will not share. This is my third pack, don't tell my mum!
