What's in my stockpile?
These are a few of my essentials that I cannot live without. Most of these are things that I buy on a regular (ish) basis so that I NEVER run out.

Wilkinsons Sensitive Shaving gel - 95p 
I've been using this for years and have never had any reaction to it what-so-ever so it's became my go-to shaving gel. 
Since I epilate my legs I don't go through very much of this so it lasts for ages 

Sensitive Facial Cleansing wipes - I can't find these on the website but they'll be in store
I can't rave about these wipes enough. I haven't been using these for long but I'll use them to remove my make-up before cleansing, but they always take off every scrap of make-up, including my eye make-up!
I picked these up originally because I was out of both micellar water and cotton wool and wanted a quick fix. 

Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer - £4.19
I've mentioned this before in my posts so you might already know that this is my go to every-day concealer. I've used it for years and I usually repurchase when it's on offer. 
It has won awards in the past and I know that a lot of bloggers use or have used this in the past, which just confirms it's legendary greatness. 

 Mitchum Powder Fresh Deodorant - £2.99
This deo pretty much just does the job that a good deodorant should! It smells nice and keeps me fresh, what more could I want?

 Soap and Glory Mist You Madly Body Spray - £6.50
I like to keep this in my bag and it's just kind of habit to always repurchase this when there's none left!

 Tealights
So I'm not very fussy about what brand these are but I've got to have some candles on the go at all times. I use these with my wax-tart burner. I'll usually buy them from Primark as its a big(ish) pack for something like £2. Although Wilkinsons also do a massive bag of either 100 or 200 candles, I can't actually remember and it's about £2 as well! The Wilkinsons ones aren't scented but it's hard to complain when it's such great value. 


For those of you who don't know, insanity is a workout DVD that is exactly what it says .. INSANE. 

 I ordered this at the beginning of the year, I was feeling out of shape and was gaining so much weight. 
I have been doing this for 7/8 weeks and I've got to say that it does get easier over time. However when I reached the second stage, I found the hour long workouts just too repetitive and boring so went back to the first set because I would dread the thought of the long workouts and wouldn't do them. It's better to do an easier workout than none at all!

 You start off with a fitness test and then start the first round of workouts for 4 weeks with a fitness test every second week, although I usually miss out the fitness tests because I don't see very much point in them. 
You then get a week of recovery where you do the same workout each day to give your body a slight rest before starting the second round of workouts. 

The DVD set comes with a nutrition plan but I haven't used it at all and have been fine, just be aware of what you're eating and you will be fine. 

I recommend this to everyone looking to get in shape, it's perfect for those who don't have time for the gym or want to workout at home. 
I've always been a massive fan of buying and selling things on e-bay, I set up my account in 2012 and have been addicted ever since.
I know people who have never bought anything from e-bay because they don't trust paypal etc. but it's very rare to have problems. As long as you keep an eye on your account for any unexplained charges (fraud) then it's so safe. 

 Here's a few steps to get you started:

1. Download the app. 
I find the app makes it so easy to uploading items to sell because you can just snap the pictures on your phone and upload them instantly - just make sure that the pictures are clear.

 2. Declare any faults or marks on the item
Now it's usually clothes that I sell on e-bay so I'll always makes sure that the buyer know of any marks or problems with the item. You wouldn't want to receive something in an unexpected condition so be clear! 

 3.Timing
Having the auction end on a Sunday should create more interest in your item since it is a time that more people are on-line and browsing, so be sure when you set up the auction that it ends at an appropriate time and not 10.30 on a Monday morning when very few people will be active! 

 I've also got to admit that I have bought loads from Hong-Kong and China before, it's mostly been jewellery that was super cheap, and although it takes a few weeks to arrive the quality has always been good.

Unbreable Kimmy Schmidt is the newly released Netflix original series. It stars Ellie Kemper as Kimmy who is a 29 year old who has been living underground in an apocalypse cult. After she is rescued she moves to New York where she tries to settle in. She moves in with Titus - an aspiring actor, played by Tituss Burgess, who kind of coaches her through her new life.
Jane Krakowski plays her new employer as well as a mother and stepmother who is going through a rocky relationship with her absent husband.
Ellie plays Kimmy so well, she's very curious and fun without it being in any way awkard. 

I wasn't sure what I'd think of this series but I'm really enjoying it! If you're a fan of Newgirl, The Mindy Project and suburgatory then I'd recommend giving it a watch, it's a very upbeat show that's easy to watch.
So far there is one series with 13 episodes - it also looks like a second series is confirmed. 


Vanilla & Fresh Berries wax melts £3.75 for 10

After only ever buying my wax melts from Yankee Candle, I decided to give these a try.
I wasn't expecting much, but I've got to say I might never buy from Yankee Candle again. These smell SO good. I ordered late on Sunday night and received on Friday, it's free delivery though so no complaints! They arrive in a small bag with ten to a pack. Now it suggests that you burn 2 or 3 at a time and I would say 2 is enough, I've never tried 3 but I think it would be a bit too overpowering. The smell reminds me a bit of raspberries, I just love it - I can't recommend them enough. The smell lasts about 2 tea-light candles although if you want it to be strong on the second burn then I would suggest adding a third melt. 

 I've already re-ordered 3 more packs and I can't wait to try some of the other scents that they have as there seems to be LOADS.
