Monday blues? Shake it off!

Monday’s are by far the worst day of the week, the idea of first day back at work after the weekend is bound to have you reaching over for that snooze button a few times and if like me the idea of sticking your wee toe out of the bed into the cold room is too much to bare, never mind actually getting your bad self out of bed then fear not!  This is how to survive a cold Monday morning, 

 



Best way to start the day off is with a nice hot shower with some zingy shower gel to turn you from zombie into acceptable.  One of my favourites is Original Source Mint and Tea Tree.  Put a splodge of this on your body polisher and shazam, mounds of tingly bubbles.  The mint is so refrehsing and the tea tree good for your pores!  Helps wake up your other senses too.
 
 





Now its pretty chilly out there just now so you definitely need a scarf to keep you toasty on your way to work, and a fabulous one is even better.  My lust have is this scarf from Mint Velvet, versatile and cosy! I would wear this the same was as the photo, loop it round your neck from the front, round the back and let the sides dangle free, non effort chic.

 

   


What better way to celebrate your last few minutes of freedeom before you go into a mound of unread emails than signing along to a kick ass song as you walk along to work.  For this I recommend Taylor Swifts new album 1989, especially track 6 and do as the girl says “Shake It Off!”

 




Happy Monday!

My pintrest

I'm a huge fan of Pintrest, I used it when we were getting married as places to store ideas for everything from hair to favours.  Its so easy to pin photos from websites and acts like a mood board.  It's equivalent to ripping out photos in magazines when we were younger!

I'd definitely recommend it if you are in the middle of a big project with lots of choices to make, can be used for anything from weddings and reading lists to clothes you covet!

So as part of my blog I've created new Pintrest profile where I'll be adding toboards for items that I'm interested in.  We're in the process of moving flat so I'm obsessed with home products just now!

I'm loving creams, taupes and light blues to give a sort of ocean room feel.  Not all out nautical, no Navy's and whites, just a relaxed ocean feel.

Feel free to have a look at my boards and let me know what you think!

If there are any fab things you find that you'd like to recommend to me just get in touch, always on the lookout for new things!
