Scented Items For The Home

I love to keep my home smelling nice and I know it sounds mad but I actually enjoy cleaning! So here are some items that I use everyday in my home which smell wonderful!

I really love Jo Malone which is easy to find here in England and they actually have a huge counter in Harrods London. I can't get enough of the roses collection I make sure every bathroom has Jo Malone Red Roses hand wash! I get so many people tell me how lovely it smells when they use it.

I love in Winter time the Jo Malone Pomegranite and Noir Candle even when it is not lit it smells so nice! So I keep mini ones in downstairs toilet and bathroom.

This Next candle and diffuser in apricot blossom is in my hallway and downstairs toilet. It smells sweet and gives house a nice fragrance. It is also not very expensive the candle was £3,50 and diffuser £6. I don't always light it as I have children but it still smells great.

The Marks and Spencer Spray is a room mist that smells of lemon it is only £2 and freshens up the house after a clean.

Zoflora is priced at £1 and is something I use everyday in the home to clean. I use it down the toilet and in the sink. Once I have cleared away dinner I put a little down the kitchen sink and it takes the smell away. It also cleans the loo and leaves a lovely scent for summer my favourite one is the grapefruit. The linen I use everyday. You cam pick this up at supermarkets and your local B and M store.

My Hallway

Hallway Design My Hallway was very dark when we brought this house two years ago there was no natural light. This was because the front door had no glass or window and the walls were dark in colour. I went for pale grey with a blue undertone this makes the grey paint warmer. Having tiles on the floor means it can be a little cold so I did not want a cool tone of grey. I was going to use Farrow and Balls Elephants Breathe but I found this to be very dark. Although other Farrow and Ball colours I love such as Pale Powder.ere also a dark colour. The first thing we did was change the door to one which has glass. It is enough to let the light in but still provides us with privacy. Then we painted the stairs white as they were a very dark brown instantly this made the room feel more modern and brighter. The door handles were all gold and looked very dated and did no longer matched the grey on the walls. So we got these iconic door handles which ...

How Painting Furniture Transformed My Home

By painting some items in the home you can really transform the way that they look and bring an old pice of furniture a new life! Above I have used Crown Antique Cream to change and transform this dresser. I first started painting my garden furniture as I wanted to brighten up the garden and the table and chairs were looking quite tired. We do not get much sun here in England so its nice to add some extra colour with this paint. I did two coats of this colour by Cuprinol in Coastal Mist. Im so happy with the colour it feels very beauty and has really made the furniture look more polished. You may need to sand the wood first I did not have too. Then I wanted to paint the metal chairs and table in the garden as they were green but I wanted them to go back to white. This involved lots of sanding down then two coats of this paint below by Hammerite which I find is the best for metal. A few weeks ago I was looking for a shoe cupboard to make are ...

My Bathroom Nightime Product Routine

Before I share a blog post on my bathroom I thought I would share a post on my current product nightime routine. In the morning I do not have as much time so at night is when I like to properly care for my skin which is a dry skin type. The condition is sensitive this happened after having my two sons, my whole skincare range had to change after pregnancy. I like to use a cream cleanser that is very light in texture as if the cleanser is too thick in texture I do not feel clean. The foaming cleansers are good for the morning but I am a dry skin type so I don't really get on with these. Next I use a toner and you should not use a toner which contains alcohol as this is very ageing for the skin. So due to all this I am loving the Clarins cleanser and toner, the toner is Cammomile and very gentle toner even for very sensitive skin. The cleansing milk is light in texture and great for a dry and sensitive skin. It feels very soothing on the skin. I apply these with cotton wool, ...
