BLOGMAS DAY 7: Winter Scent

I wear scents all year round and this means that I usually like to make my perfumes and sprays more seasonal to change it up a little bit. In the summer I wear more floral, fruity and light scents. Then, in the autumn/winter I like to wear more spicy, musky and heavy scents. My scent of choice this year is Victoria Secret's 'Amber Romance'. It is described as a scent with 'amber and crème anglais'. I am the worst at describing scents so I wouldn't even be able to tell you what it smells like to me but for some reason it smells to me how I think that amber would smell. Yet, I don't know what amber smells like! Definitely a more sophisticated and musky scent because lots of the other scents I have an easier time describing the smell. It is long lasting but not overpowering. Lots of people say that they get a whiff of it every time I walk past and when they hug me : ) I definitely wouldn't use too much because a little can go a long way. What would you say your autumn/winter scent was this year?

BLOGMAS DAY 6: Fairy Lights

 

 

 Every year as we get closer to the darker and colder days I tend to find myself looking for all different types of fairy lights. Because of the fact that the days are getting darker more quickly we generally use lights more and fairy lights just seem like the best way to do this! They can really set the mood and are really cute and decorative. More so than overhead lights or lamps. Above you can see there are just plain bulb fairy lights and I love these ones because they are just simple and look better in the dark. This year, however, I have found myself buying more different types such as these really nice ones I have that are like clear diamonds with the bulb in the middle. As you can see I also have a n 'E' shaped light up letter. These are also really cute and I think I have mentioned this on my blog before and how it is really great to personalise your room.
Tell me about any fairy lights that you have?!?

Bedroom Snippet

Above is just a little snippet of my bedroom and it shows some of the things that I have bought recently to decorate my room. The first thing is a light up 'E'. I think that it is really nice to have something that makes your room unique and adding your initial into your décor can be a great way to personalise your room and make it feel more special! Next, is the Lily Flame candle in 'Fairy Dust'. Lily Flame is a company that makes candles and various other scented things including diffusers. I love the scent of this one, it is a very fresh, clean scent and so great for bedrooms and, finally, the fairy lights, which are from Primark, are great for having a nice atmosphere in your room. I hope this gave you a few ideas!
