Getting over January blues

It's never a surprise that when christmas has just gone that I start to feel down about how it came and went so quickly and no matter how many fairy lights I put up or paper snowflakes I make, I can't help regretting not making more of a fuss about this amazing time of year. I'm sure that just about everyone misses christmas once it's gone and we all know that it's much more than presents that bring it alive. It's the scent of pine twigs tickling at our noses, the waft of spices and succulent turkey circling the air, the union of long lost minds who claim to be a family and smiles that you have created. 

I don't tend to make a fuss over the new year and this time I hugged my cat into the new year and kissed him on the nose at midnight. As soon as the decorations are took down I generally feel like there is something missing in my life, a hole I need to fill. I tend to panic in situations like this and look way into the future as I need something to look forward to. I have started listing things for this spring and easter and intend on doing a big LUSH haul probably based on floral scents and easter specials. I also want to start collecting pastel nail varnishes and I might quite honestly go abit OTT when faced with the almighty shelves of boots on my next shopping venture. I also want to focus on pastel clothing and lace as well as vintage style outfits which are perfect for spring. Over the past few weeks I have been eyeing up the big Yankee candles in Tesco (as I go every Tuesday) and I have to say that A LOT of the scents appealed to me but turns out that I had been oblivious to the heaven that was hidden at the back of the shelf and as soon as I smelt "sweatpea",I fell in love instantly, I just hope that it lasts me a long time considering the price of it. "I'm sorry I just couldn't leave it there" was my excuse. Even though it seems a shame to spend my Christmas money so soon, I think it's totally worth it and I totally believe in retail therapy.

With the shoebox that my new shoes came in, I have started collecting a few things to make next christmas even better. This includes DVDs and the Christmas LUSH catalogue. :)

Something that always makes me happy is investing in cozy lounge wear like a new onesie and slipper socks and I mustn't forget my fleece lined tights that I always get, either from primark or home bargains; they're heaven for legs
