New In: home, jewellery, beauty and more

Hello! Today I thought I would show you some new things I have purchased recently, a little collaborative haul. I don’t think I’ve done a post like this before!


home bargains jewellery holder bird rabbit
I have been looking for some cute jewellery holders for a while now and spotted the rabbit one on a few blogs. I managed to find it in Home Bargains and it was only £1.99 and then I also picked up the little bird jewellery holder too for the same price. They are great little decor pieces, so cute. The only thing is they are quite fragile - or I’m just really clumsy. On the way back I managed to break the ear off the rabbit one because I didn’t wrap it up well. Fail. I glued it back on but if you are buying anything ceramic just be careful!

malibu lip balm tropical mango mint bargain 3 pack

Lip balms just because. Well actually I also saw these on a blog a little while ago and then a few days later whilst casually strolling through B&M Bargains I spotted them. They were such a bargain, only £1.45 for a pack of 3. I love bargain stores, they are so good for little gems like this. I will be reviewing these on my blog soon. But for the price this is such a steal. They are perfect for the Summer and come in so many different flavours.

live laugh love unscented pink candle typography

I picked up this cute candle from Asda. It was around £2 and is unscented but I liked the colour of it and the little typography. You can never have too many candles right? This colours on this candle make me so happy, they are so bright and pretty.

opal point necklace jewellery ebay
I have seen this necklace on so many websites recently and they cost around £20, me being the thrifty person I am decided to go onto eBay and have a browse. I found this one which looks really similar for a fraction of the price. It was £1.89 delivered and is called a Point Necklace (link). You need to attach your own chain - I used an old one. I really want to order more as they have so many different colours.

midi rings ebay stacking rings silver
I have recently been getting back into wearing jewellery and saw these on eBay too, 3 rings for 99p and delivered free too (link) - another steal! They are advertised as being ‘midi’ rings but if you wear a S/M ring size they would fit like regular sized rings. I think they look really pretty regardless and stacked up they fit into the current trends.

oloves
I have started the ‘diet’ again as of yesterday. I am such a bad yo-yo dieter it’s ridiculous but I’ve found snacking throughout the day has been helping a lot. And by that I mean healthy, low calorie snacks not full meals like I would usually do. Oloves recently sent me a stack of different Olives to try, and can I just put it out there - these are THEE best Olives I have ever had. Normally Olives are quite bland but these just burst with flavour. They come in four different varieties in a great snack sized pack which serves two people; so 25 calories each. These little packs are really versatile, perfect for travelling or in lunch boxes - I have also been making pasta with them. Add a little Philadelphia cheese into the pot and it tastes amazing. Because the olives are seasoned already thats literally all you need to do. I’m also hoping to make olive bread soon with these Olove packets so keep an eye out for a post. They are available on Amazon and Holland and Barratt, and are affordably priced. What I also like about Oloves is the fact when you read the ingredients I know what everything is, if that makes sense? The ingredients are literally olives and whatever its flavoured with - nothing nasty and processed.

I can’t believe how warm the weather has gotten recently, it was actually 25C yesterday. Can’t say I liked it - yes I’m definitely one of those people who complains about the warm weather, oops.  

I also can’t believe how close I am to 1000 followers on bloglovin’, thank you so much I am currently planning a little give away too. And a big thank you to those who have ordered from my little blog design shop. I am really enjoying being creative and working with other bloggers!

Anyways, let me know what you think of this warm weather and your thoughts on my purchases.

  4. Pretty jewelry holders! I have one with a cat and love it. I actually have two because like you said, they're so fraile. I broke the tail of the first one so I had to get another, haha.

    Love the necklace. I want a crystal one as well but can't find an afforable one.

  5. I love the bunny jewellery holder, it's a bargain too!! Will have to head down to HB and see if they have any. I've bought mugs from there before and they just lob them in the carrier along with everything else so I'm not surprised that your bunny lost an ear :)
