February Favourites

It's been a while since I have done a favourites blog post and if I am honest they are my favourite blog posts to read.  So here are my February favourites!

1. Soap & Glory Hand Food.


This is a scented hand moisturiser which is sooooo good. Like all Soap & Glory products it smells amazing. The moisturiser soaks into your skin really well so you're not left with that horrible greasy feeling you get with some moisturisers. You also only need to use a tiny amount (about a pea sized amount) so it is very long lasting. This particular moisturiser contains shea butter, macadamia oil and marshmallow to give it it's glorious scent.

2. Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte.


I am so close to finishing this book and I just had to put it into my favourites because I love it so much. The book tells a great tale of love, hate, cruelty, violence and passion. I don't want to spoil it too much for those who haven't read it but it is a great book and I definitely recommend it. I might do a book review about it in a future post.

3. Fluffy Socks.


I adore fluffy socks with cute patterns on and with February being a particularly cold month I have been making good use of my collection. They are perfect for a cosy night in to keep your toes warm and a must have for the colder months.

4. Soap & Glory Heel Genius.


Another Soap & Glory product that I have been loving this month! This foot cream makes my heels so soft and it smells great. It contains allatoin, glycerin, macadamia oil, bilberry and orange and lemon fruit acid smoothers. The product is amazing and great for hard skin.

5. Colouring.


Not necessarily a product but I have been loving colouring this month.  I usually colour a lot because it helps me to relax but I have found myself doing it more this month, probably because it's so cold outside and I like to be indoors in the warm.

Hope you liked reading about my favourites. Feel free to mention any of yours in the comments below!

How To Be Happy

Being happy is something that comes so easily for some people, but for others it is a constant struggle. I found myself in an unhappy place a few months ago but after taking these steps I can now say I am much happier.

Step 1:

Take a step back. Look at your life, what is good, what is bad. Think about what is having a profoundly negative impact on your life, and, what is giving you an amazing amount of joy and bliss.

Step 2:

Cut out any negatives. If something in your life is making you unhappy cut it out. If you are unhappy in a relationship maybe it is time to move on. If you are unhappy with a study choice you have made at university switch to another course, or, think about whether university is for you. If you are unhappy in your job, is it worth carrying on in a career that is making you miserable?

Step 3:

Surround yourself with friends and family.


Being around those that you love and trust makes a massive difference to personal happiness. The worst thing someone can do is to isolate themselves when they are unhappy, because it will take longer to get rid of the negative feelings. Being around family and friends makes the air around you feel lighter, you can have fun and enjoy life with the people that care about you.

Step 4:

Take some time for yourself.

 
Yes being around family and friends helps greatly with happiness, but having some me time also does wonders. Have a relaxing bubble bath, catch up on those Netflix programmes, read a book. Taking some time out for yourself is a great way to get rid of any negative feelings.

Hope these tips help some people! I am much happier after completing some of these steps and I feel like I am in a much better place now.

BE HAPPY!
