Because Sometimes...

Because Sometimes... by thebellejarblog featuring scented candles

Because sometimes I just need to be alone, and eat pizza, and drink hot chocolate, and watch girly movies in bed all cosy. I also invite a friend on the odd occasion!

I seriously love winter and love cosy nights in in my PJ's.

I love winter clothes, big jumpers and boots and stuff are the best but you just can't beat a good cosy pair of pjs and slippers or socks as the nights grow longer and colder!

I cant be the only one?!

Do you do this too?! 

What movies/snacks would you choose??

A Little Bit of Love...

I just thought I'd write a quick post on one of my favourite things in the world...underwear!

I love underwear so much, it just makes me feel so nice when I have pretty underwear on, even if no-one see's it! - (which they don't!)

But that's fine because it's about me. I have always struggled with having boobs. I've never been a fan of my own, they were okay when I was younger and they were a C/D, but now I've actually grown and I'm an E/F (depending on where I go) I struggle even more so, because finding nice underwear that doesn't look like my Nan's or finding a bra that doesn't look enormous and like you literally have brightly coloured scaffolding on is a battle when you're on a budget.

I tend to wait for the sales to buy my 'good bra's', because you get some really good ones for a fraction of the price! The Agent Provocateur sales are always pretty amazing!

Most of my underwear is black and I really like vintage inspired underwear, long lines, high waists etc.

Black is just mu colour I guess and I've actually found some pretty nice ones, I've picked up a few sets from George at Asda which are gorgeous but I'll get on with what I'm actually posting about here....

PRIMARK. Yes, Primark.

They have absolutely smashed the underwear over the last year or so, they did a gorgeous, luxury sort of range which they sold as separates, which is perfect for me because if I buy their sets, their bigger sized bra's also come with bigger sized bottoms which don't fit me so this was perfect! And they were perfectly priced, I think I paid no more than £7 for a bra.

I managed to pick up a few before my sizes in the bottoms were gone and they are amazing! They're so comfortable and actually wash well. I mean, I know they're not gonna last me years but hey! They're pretty, they fit and are super affordable so I don't mind repurchasing each season.

They also have upped their game when it comes to sets. I think the sets are around £5 which is amazing and they have loads of different styles and although the sets don't really come in my size, my friend is constantly stocking up and I get super jealous! But every now and then I'll come across a set that that does come in my size and it's like finding a really super, top secret, hidden gem! So keep your eyes peeled!

Moon Child

I am obsessed. I love the moon. Always have. My Mum loves it too and we always call each other if it's a particularly good moon or a full moon, our favourite is probably the waxing or waning crescent moon because I was convinced it was the cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland when I was a kid.

ANYWAY.

This isn't really about the moon.

This is about Boho Moon.

I came across this cute little jewellery site on Instagram, as I do a lot of little jewellery sites lately and I had been following them for a little while and had a look on the site and spotted a few items I wanted!

So, on Friday I think it was, I just decided to go order the stuff I wanted and just happened to check my Instagram before I did and there was a half price code!!! Was made up!

YAY for sales! And my items arrived super fast!! I ordered Friday night and they were here this morning! (Monday), and they were packaged really cute too, with little moon shaped confetti and everything!!

Oh, and did I forget to mention, delivery is only £1 no matter how much you order!! (within the UK, £5 flate rate to the rest of the world!)

Here is what I picked up!!

I'm in love with all of my pieces, especially the necklace because it just reminds me of my Mum and being little!

I should have gotten her a moon too, but I got her a compass, which she loves!

I was heartbroken that the Moonstone Poison Box ring was sold out. It's so beautiful!

But hey! guess I'll just have to keep checking back!

You should definitely check it out, they have some beautiful pieces and are so reasonably priced! Also keep an eye on their Instagram for discount codes! Their username is just @bohomoon 

Happy shopping! :)

....and yes, I'm loving piclab right now, still need to work my camera out!

If You're Happy & You Know It Clap Your Hands.....

Are you happy?

I never know where I am to be honest.

Sometimes I am really, really happy and will just get a little light bulb moment and I'll stop in my tracks and  just grin and feel soooo good, then other times, not so much.

I plan on my little light bulb moment becoming a more permanent fixture this year. Obviously I know you can't be happy ALL the time. But why not like 99% of the time??

I've let other people bring me down and make me feel insecure and sad and really bad about myself, be that me feeling like I'm not good enough for them or about how I look.

I've decided no more though. Enough is enough.  I'm at a point where I've stopped and had a word with myself.

I had to question why certain people could make me feel certain ways, and then I realised, it was because I let them.

I was always really down and it was horrible. I struggle with anxiety and depression anyway, but it wasn't that.

They made me feel soooo good when we first met and then that wore off pretty quickly so I started putting it down to me, I was doing everything wrong, I must have changed in some way?? It never occurred to me that it was the other person changing. So I tried and tried and still couldn't figure it out, which brought me even lower because if I didn't know what it was, how could I fix it?

It's only recently I realised how much of my time I actually spent feeling really sad about how this now completely insignificant person thought/felt about me.

What a waste!!!!

All those nights I sat in my room not wanting to leave, I could have been out, moving on, moving up!

It made me really angry that I actually wasted my time in the first place, but you learn and grow I guess, so it wasn't a total waste, just went on a lot longer than it should have.

I know now, that anything is an upgrade from that situation and as long as I can be happy with myself, if someone does change the way they think/feel about me then there's not a lot I can do about that. That's them, not me. So I don't think I'll be wasting much more time worrying about it.

Life really is just too short to waste time worrying about other people you have no control over.

I'm moving on and feel pretty good about it, out with the old in with the new ;)

The funny thing is, I now know it wasn't me at all. I tried and was nothing but nice. I suppose some people will always just be wolves in sheep's clothing.

So, FUCK IT. Just LIVE and breathe and be grateful for the good things you have in life....If you stop and think about it, you'll see you have a lot more than you realise.

I am so thankful for who and what I have, I really am a lucky girl.
