March Playlist ~ incl. Royal Blood &The Brothers Bright !

So I thought I would share what I'm currently listening to at the moment since I have my iPod on right now :)

Blood on My Name ~ The Brothers Bright 
Awake O Sleeper ~ The Brothers Bright (I am completely obsessed with these two songs, I have listened to them so much)
Ten Tonne Skeleton ~ Royal Blood 
Come On Over ~ Royal Blood
You Can Be So Cruel ~ Royal Blood 
Railroad Track ~ Willy Moon 
A View to a Kill ~ Duran Duran (Its stuck in my head since I watched the film last night)
Spirit Walks ~ Nerina Pallot 
Freedom ~ Anthony Hamilton & Elayna Boynton (from the 'Django Unchained' soundtrack)
Jealous ~ Nick Jonas (Gospel Version) 
I Never Met a Girl Like You Before ~ Edwyn Collins 

It's a bit of a mish-mash but I would certainly recommend these songs :)

Let me know what you think

Gift Guide - Hers: Part 1


1) Personalised secret message necklace ~ Cinderella B Jewellery
Photo from notonthehighstreet.com
 I originally didn't realise that the stones represented a letter (it was late at night) so I thought there was just the option to choose your own stones. However, when i realised the secret message aspect I thought it was really sweet. I also like the fact that the stones are all on one side of the little charm instead of being equally balanced - I think it makes it more interesting to look at. :)

At £20 it is certainly not the cheapest present you could buy for 'her' but I think it would be good for special birthdays (18, 21 etc), graduations, anniversaries or just as a token of your relationship.




Available in silver or gold from www.notonthehighstreet.com



2) NPW Nail and Cuticle Tattoos
This pack of 24 tattoos from Urban Outfitters features gold and silver designs such as stars, chevron lines, diamonds and anchors. Whether for use in the summer, on special occasions or just to add a bit of shine to the day, these are the perfect gift for her.

Available from Urban Outfitters and ASOS for £4 or www.nailpolishdirect.co.uk for £2.95







3) Rope Earbuds from Skinnydip

Whilst the standard white ones that come with phones and other such products are fine, some more aesthetic earplugs (I'm sorry but I struggle calling them 'earbuds', it sounds like you have flowers in your ears) may appeal.

Skinnydip have recently created these rope earplugs that come in three different colours; Forest, Mint (shown) and Orange.

Available from Skinnydip, Topshop and Debenhams amongst others for  £15





4) Little Book of Mindfulness

I thought this was a nice little idea - life can get very stressy and hectic so sometimes it's good to have a pause and just reflect on the simpler things in life (easier said then done, I know, but then that's what this book is for)

Available from Topshop for £9.99









5) Cool Touch Eyeshadow
Kiko is an Italian brand that I would recommend to anyone who likes colours. The variety of shades and tones in their nail polishes, eye shadows and lipsticks will be the first thing you see when you walk into one of their shops.

It comes in 8 different colours and has a little applicator too. :)

This is something that I would genuinely buy for one of my friends as I trust the brand and I think the product looks really good.

#InsidetheCommons

Just watched some of the programme 'Inside the Commons' - its a documentary kind of thingymajiggy about the UK House of Commons. Def some peculiar traditions but it was interesting to see what it looks like inside.

If anyone saw it, what did you think?

Pleease snow!

Really want it to snow! I had some hail the other day but it lasted for like 5 minutes...uh that is such a British thing - making the weather a conversation starter. At least I'm true to my roots!
