Colour Obstacle Rush

Hi!

In April I signed up to complete a 5km run mainly so I had something to keep me interested in completing exercise and something to work towards rather than just pounding a treadmill!
So I signed up to the Color Obstacle Rush UK , this event was primarily in the USA and has recently travelled across the pond to the UK. There have been various events over the UK over the past few months.

I chose this event as it has 9 colour stations, 10 obstacles and a foam pit, I had so much fun completing it and I am hoping I can take part again next year. Needless to say I was pretty colourful at the end!

Home Wear Accessories

Hi!

As you may be aware I recently redecorated/completed a bedroom makeover and with that I needed to purchase some new bits and bobs to add to some of my older key pieces n order to achieve the look I wanted! I thought I would share some of my favourite pieces with you...

Candle (Grapefruit & Ginger) and fragrance bell jar from Marks & Spencer

Candle holder from Home Sense, Baylis & Harding 3 wick candle (Jojoba, silk &almond oil) and money box owl was from Next a while ago

Decorative bowl Next again a while ago along with the decorative floral arrangement. 

Mirrored bottom storage from Home sense and make up brush holder from Next

I love an assortment of cushions on my bed, all of mine are from Marks & Spenser and Next. Some are older than others, the most recent edition is my K cushion

I love pretty tickets and plates, these are both from next; the silver one was a present for my birthday

I had to have a place for some of my stationary and especially when its pink and sparkly!!

This is currently the only piece of art work I have up in my room, I have had it for a while and I absolutely adore it. Not only does it look pretty but the colours really pop against my cream walls and it reminds me of how much I love home.

Project Life

Hi!

I know I may be a little late to the game with this one! But I started a Project Life file at the start of the year. I wanted to start recording memories somewhere not directly on social media and that I could pull out and look at whenever I wanted.

I opted for the blush edition file mainly because it's pink! I purchased a few page protectors, dividers, one washi tape and a pack of themed cards just to get started and see if it was something I felt I would continue with.

 

(not the best photo I know but this was my starter kit)

Being the stationary geek I am I have loved every second of completing my file up to now although I really need to continue taking more photos. I have made a few more purchases since getting the starter kit above, I bought a set of sharpie's, a box of themed cards from the blush edition,  a little device that trims the edges of my photos, more washi tape and I pick up postcards (usually from paperchase)  just to give it more of a personalised feel.

Oh yeh I also have a draw specifically for all my staff!!

Sweet Treats

Hi!

One thing I love is a good sweet treat, a few months ago my mum found a shop called The Pudding Palour; unfortunately there are only a few stores located around the North East but their products are simply delicious.

Their stores are located in Morpeth, Hexham and a concession in Fenwicks Newcastle.  The selection of sweet treats is like nothing I have seen in the north east before and the company appears to be growing from strength to strength.

Today I visited the Morpeth store and it certainly did not disappoint, there was so much to chose from and in the end I picked the lucky dip box which gives you a sample of quite a few products.

I will definitely be visiting one of their stores soon as I have so many more treats to try.
