- My Evening Routine
  
  Posted at 8:08 pm by Holly, on April 17, 2018
  
  I remember last year doing a Morning routine for you which you can see here
  
  So I guess you need a night one to go with it so here’s what usually happens of an evening.
  
  I turn on my fairy lights, it gets me in the chilled kind of mood and when the lights aren’t so bright you are telling your eyes its time to unwind.
  
  I grab myself my favourite mug and do myself an Ovaltine light drink. Because it contains malt it’s a nice drink to have before bed and aids sleep.
  
  I get my to-do list and write on washi tape and get down all the things I want to get done the next day. Once it’s written down it’s most likely to get done.
  
  I get my skincare products and get off all my make up as I don’t fancy panda eyes in the morning or my pillow covered with foundation. I find it therapeutic.
  
  I have been filling in my Happy Journal by Fearne Cotton since I got it at the beginning of the year. It’s really good to get your thoughts out and into the journal.
  
  I love nothing more than listening to love songs at bedtime they are just very soothing and help me nod off and these two stations never fail to disappoint. Sometimes I listen to a podcast or two instead which are always easy listening.
  
  My hot water bottle always comes to bed with me. I am one of those that needs to be warm to be able to get to sleep. If I can’t get to sleep you will find me nosing through Pinterest for inspiration. It’s easy to get carried away on there.
  
  There you have it my Evening routine. Feel free to click on the links to take you to some of my related posts.

- DIY Laptop Cover
  
  Posted at 3:26 pm by Holly, on May 10, 2017
  So you buy a laptop and you suddenly get bored of the colour, or it looking so normal. Ok I’ve had mine nearly a year so I haven’t just defaced it.
  
  DISCLAIMER: THIS DIY IS SAFE FOR YOUR LAPTOP AND IS REMOVABLE AT ANY TIME
  
  Here are the things you will need
  
  Oh and some scissors. They are the most important as without them you’d of botched it up straight away.
  - Roll your sticky back plastic out and place your laptop on top
  - Cut around it being sure you have enough leave a bit extra
  - Peel back a corner and place at the top and gently work down pressing any bubbles out of it on the way.
  - When it’s on completely go around the outside and tidy up with a small pair of scissors.
  - Use the hairdryer on a low setting to soften the edges to stick to the laptop to give it a more finished look.
  There you go you now have given your laptop a lovely makeover and a bit of individuality. Totally unique to you.

- Another simple DIY – For when you are feeling down and need a pick me up
  
  Posted at 9:02 am by Holly, on January 12, 2017
  January either brings you a positive mind or the blues….
  
  Well I done this a few years ago after I had a major operation and it cheered me up no ends so I would suggest it to anyone that needs a pick me up.
  
  A HAPPY BOX
  
  Grab yourself a shoe box and some wrapping paper, sellotape and scissors and decorate your shoe box to your liking
  
  THIS IS MINE
  
  Go hunting in your room for things that make you smile that you think would fit in your box and that you don’t necessarily need on a daily basis
  
  Here is what I have included in mine…you can change it as many times of course…
  - A Sketch book and pencils so I can have a laugh at my hideous attempts at drawing.
  - My memory book that I keep adding to but is full of happy memories
  - a little jar with positive quotes in in to remind myself to look on the positive side
  - A little book of confidence. Its 10 years old its a great pocket sized pick me up
  - A quote from a magazine – Smile
  - My old MP3 player with some right Throwback Thursday tunes
  - My favourite Hand balm from The Body Shop it smells so good
  - A note pad that I can write all that I am grateful for and do a bit of journaling in
  - A hilarious film – My choice at mo is Full Monty
  - A sentimental piece of Jewellery. Mines this watch.
  What would you put in yours?

  Posted at 9:15 am by Holly, on January 3, 2017
  I thought I would get all creative and it didn’t cost me a penny because I had all of it at home.
  
  If you want to recreate this you will need
  - A whiteboard
  - Sellotape sticky fixers
  - Your make up
  - Make sure whiteboard is clean
  - Peel off sticky fixers and apply to your chosen make up item
  - Arrange it on your board to your liking
  There you go… you now have it a beauty organiser that is personal to you.
  I nearly forgot to mention I added a magnetic strip for my bobby pins
  
  Here is mine. I obviously couldn’t stick large bits on like my foundation but I love how it looks.
