#SendMeAway

I left my heart in NYC. 
I know. That sounds so stupid but I honestly, truly did.

Everybody loves a Sale

The one and only reason I am writing this post is to spread clothes shopping joy to the girls and boys of the internet.

 It has been SO long since I’ve bought clothes for myself.

One reason is that I don’t really need anymore clothes (as much as I tell myself I do because I just wear the same three things all of the time) and another reason being that I had no money.

Now, I love being an online window-shopper as much as the next gal, but I didn’t expect to see such amazing savings when I opened up an ArkClothing tab. 

So, I didn’t know this but Arkclothing are closing down. This upsets me deeply as although some of the clothes (Motel) can be rather expensive… there are always some really good priced items on there.

Here are some of my favourite sale items!
Top Left - £5.90
Top Right - £3.50
Bottom Left - £5.60
Bottom Right - £10.50

…I just bought 8 new pieces of clothing from them. and I saved £154.79.

Yup. Not kidding.

I honestly don’t think I need to buy anything else for when Summer arrives?! (although who am I kidding? Of course I will.) 

There are so many items already in the sale, and much to my surprise, the 30% off code works ON TOP OF THAT!! I just bought multiple dresses for £3.50 each. 

Yeah, the stock is kinda low but that’s to be expected. I still managed to find so many items that were cheap and my size!! 

I’m now gonna be sat waiting for a few days for that delivery to arrive… I am a very happy bunny. 

Have you seen any bargains on the website?! Does anyone know why Ark are closing down? 

Lots of love.

My Goals for February

It’s February already. The second month of the year. Wasn’t it Halloween like yesterday? I just can’t get my head around it…. (I also can’t get my head around the fact that it’s SO HARD to spell February.) 

Since January felt like one big blur of never leaving the house because I had no money… I’ve decided I’m going to set myself some goals for the month ahead. 


Be better with my money.
Okay, yeah. This is a big one. This is one I set myself for the whole year, never mind just this month. But I guess if I write it here, it kind of reiterates the fact that it’s something that I NEED TO DO!! 

Be better to myself. 
By this I mean stop eating so much crap and start doing some bloody walking! I have the worst diet in the world and I constantly feel terrible for it. Do yourself some good, Kirsty, eat a god damn salad. 

Drink more water.
(Links back to number 2.) I hate drinking water, i just hate it. It’s so bland and for some reason I always feel more thirsty after I drink it?! But I really need too because I’m constantly dehydrated. Sippy cup, here I come. 

USE ALL OF THOSE BODY CREAMS/BUTTERS/SCRUBS I OWN!!!
As much as I love having a huge stash of these, I always forget to use them! I get into the bath, relax and think ‘Oh shit, I’ve left them in the other room.’ Repeat this a few times a week and here I am with 100 body butters that haven’t even been opened.

Wake up earlier!
I want to wake up earlier to spend time getting ready. I’m so bad for this, I would much rather have that extra 15 minutes in bed and look like crap for the whole day. (This only really applies on weekdays when I have to be up for work.) But I do want to just get my lazy bum out of bed and make more of an effort with how I look for the day! 

Read my books! 
I was SO good for this in December/January. I opened a Goodreads account and I kept track of all of the books I am reading/want to read and I finished a fair few in the last couple of months! So I want to keep this up as I love being in my own little world with characters that I love. 

Improve on my photography.
Finally. a blog related one! I want to get better at my photography. I have such an amazing camera but I don’t honestly know how to get the best benefits from it! I like to believe that I’m OK at taking photos. But who want’s to be just OK? I wanna be great! 

Well, it looks like February is set out to be the month of change! It started off with a huge haircut change and hopefully if I stick with the goals above, I’ll see lots more positive changes happen.

Do you have any goals this month? Did your January go as quick as mine did?! 

Lots of love,
Kirsty

January Favourites

January. That month that kinda just…happened. 
Gloomy, dark, cold and… poor. That’s how I’d describe it!
Not that I didn’t have some great days within the month but I'm so ready for light nights and bright mornings!
