New jobs can be daunting for anyone , but going in with the right mind and good attitude will allow you to feel happy and comfortable in no time.

Since starting my job I've realised the FOUR must haves every one should have.

Pencil Case:

For all of us stationary obsessed , a pencil case with your fancy coloured pens and highlighters will finally come in use!! 

Jotting down notes in coloured pens and little annotations is how I learn best- so if you like to scribble and draw, go for it.. Your new employer will be impressed with your can-do attitude and your willingness to learn.

Notepad:

Obviously for drawing your masterpieces and scribbling your important notes.

Diary:

I can't live without my diary now, its the best way to keep track of things. Keeping an eye on dates, and meetings. 

Water bottle:

Hydrate, Hydrate , Hydrate. Theres nothing worse, especially in this heat being thirsty. Keeping a bottle of water with you not only saves you money, but also allows you too keep any eye of your daily intake of water.

DOES THIS REALLY WORK| SIMPLYKATSINELLA

DOES THIS REALLY WORK??

Has anyone heard of the makeup hack which is VASELINE. Well I've done a bit of research ( googling till I could google no more) and it has been said that Vaseline can make your eyebrows and eyelashes thicker and longer.

So here's the start of my journey, last night I applied Vaseline on my brows and eyelashes to receive a very puzzled look from my dear fiancé. To be honest I think he just allows me to do whatever to avoid questioning my weirdness.

Now the initial application feels very greasy and sticky and I'm not gonna lie, if I break out in spots around these said areas I will be blaming the Vaseline!!

So the picture below shows the first application, after reading up , I will apply Vaseline to my brows twice a day, and Vaseline to my eyelashes at night...

BTW- I know, I know, the faces I've pulled are beyond attractive... (please note the sarcasm)


I plan to check back once every week to enlighten you on my Vaseline hacks... I'll try it out and if it works then! Voila

If you have any other hacks or tricks you want me to try so you don't have to, let me know on twitter or instagram!!

I've also recently started a facebook for my blogs, so please follow me on there <3

Number 24- NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS

I touched on my news years resolutions in a previous post click here if you wanna have a nosey at that post.

• blog more, it allows you to relieve stress

This one I promise myself to blog as a when, I mean I have to plan a wedding, think how many DIY's that's going to be. My pinterest is FULL of ideas. If you wanna follow me my tag is 'simplykatsinella'. 

• lose weight (I swear everyone is this, but hey! I have to fit into a wedding dress)

Obviously I wanna gain some body confidence like I used to have, having a tough time this past couple of months has made me gain weight.. and I wasn't skinny to start with. I want to lose weight to fill confident again, follow me on instagram for updates! I wanna feel how confident I felt on holiday in Greece 2015! 

• move to a bigger house

Me and Shaun currently live in a one bedroom house, which we love... but is FULL of cracks.. so saving up to afford a bigger house is a plus.

• be more loving & caring

This one seems like a strange one, but I have a strange habit of pushing people away when I'm down, upset or scared. I want to be more open to those I trust and love.

• save , save, save

I want to save for house, wedding, and children in future. Whats the issue starting now!!

Wishing you a year full of happiness and remember to cherish each moment.

Number 21- DIY ANNIVERSARY GIFT

So it's that time of the year where were celebrating our anniversary. I think anniversaries are a time to celebrate the time together rather than lavish each other in gifts - that's what you can do for birthdays and christmas.

So I decided to create a scrap book of our time together. Simple, easy and sentimental (& cheap if your counting pennies atm)

STEP ONE: So I just found a simple scrap book in my collection (I'm a hoarder of stationary) but you can pick one up absolutely anywhere! Supermarkets or stationary shops. 

STEP TWO: I made a folder in my phone of nice pictures of me and my boyf and quotes I then used a app on my phone called 'FREE PRINTS' . Each month your entitled 45 images or so for free and just pay for P&P. - a right old bargain

STEP THREE: Buy some glue and any crafty bits you want to include.

STEP FOUR: I then just stuck images on different pages and labeled them with dates and anything significant that happened at that time. 

It did take me a couple of days in total to complete but well worth it and its something you can keep forever and look back at. My boyf loved it and some bits made him laugh, smile and cry at. Make it personal and write down things you would never dreamed of writing before. 

 Have you made your partner a gift like this before?- or something similar?
