Styling Station : Simplify Your Life Series 2016





I was looking for ways to take control of my vanity desk. The space I use in the morning to get ready was getting out of control, so I decided to switch it up a bit and get some new storage solutions to see if they could help tame the beast!

 Makeup was easily taken care of with some neat plastic drawers (not anything fancy, but functional), makeup brushes were neatly decanted in a pretty floral plant pot courtesy of an Ikea trip, but I still had nearly half the surface taken up by styling equipment.

 A hairdryer tangling with the straighteners, weaving with the curling wand - it was very frustrating and was making me take longer getting ready that it should. So I once again popped on to good old Amazon and came across a thing called a "Styling Station". It has surprisingly transformed my space!
It enables me to keep all three of my frequently used styling tools safely tucked up in this thing and it frees up so much space on the rest of the desk.  

 Wires are kept out of the way and don't get all tangled together.  It's heat proof so I can pop the tool straight back into the Styling Station when I'm done without worrying it will singe the desk.

 I keep mine out on my desk for easy access, but the product is lightweight so could be hung on a wall or kept inside a cabinet like shown below.

Now I can ready in the mornings much quicker and with a lot less frustration, which can only help the day go better.  It's worked out so well and I would recommend this to all.

 Have you ever used a Styling Station?  What was your experience?

July Goals 2016

Image
Given my poor performance in June I have decided to only go for two goals this month. July should be a month of BBQs and beer gardens but in typical UK style the weather is interfering with that plan.  So instead I'm going to use this month as an opportunity to deep clean the house. Yes the whole house. "No way" I hear you cry but there are two motivational factors for me that guarantee I will do it... 1) I have a week off work and will be spending Monday to Friday mostly on my own, as boyfriend is working, so may as well apply myself usefully. 2) I have my too oldest friends coming to stay for the weekend soon.  I cannot let them witness the dog hairs rolling around the floors! So I'm feeling quite optimistic about achieving that one. I've been debating my second goal quite a lot. Swinging from a blog based one to a lifestyle one. The winner is...blog based. Since my May Goals , I have managed to consistently blog twice a week, except for one...

Meet My Lucy

Image
Sometimes the struggle of balancing a blog with "normal life" gets the better of us.  Motivation is there but physical energy is low.  I'm having one of those weeks.  I have all these ideas I want to share, but my mind is scattered to a million different places.  I fear I would not do them justice. So instead I decided to share with you one of the loves of my life...my fur baby Lucy: She is a 4 year old English Springer Spaniel and very cheeky. Things she loves most in the world are tennis balls, chewing and rolling in things we wish she would not. As a puppy she was a handful, but she has grown up to be the softest, most gentle dog in the world.   Even our friends who "hate dogs" find themselves falling for her doe eyes and cuddly manner. No matter how bad my day, coming home to her excited wiggly bum always brightens my mood.   I'd be lost without her now. Thank you to my Dad for taking these fantastic action...

Sticker Love

Image
OK so confession time - deep breath.... My name is Sarah and I am a sticker geek.  Sad but true. It's not a recent habit I have developed, more of a rediscovery of my childhood self. So if stickers are not your thing then I will not object to you skipping this post! I remember as a child deciding that the light switch in my bedroom was just too dull as it was, so I chose to cover it in butterfly stickers and as I grew older I strangely NEVER regretted doing it.   As I became a working adult I tried other, more grown up things like post it notes and page flags. These are great but no where near as much fun as stickers! Then a year or so ago I got my new planner ( Plum Paper Planner Review 2015/16 ) and started searching around on Etsy for planner related accessories....the result is that I now have a bit of an addiction to all things planner sticker related. So rather than hide my sticker shame I thought I would instead embrac...
