I've never known a mum who doesn't like candles, shower wash or perfume. Heck my dad likes candles, shower wash and perfume (mens obviously). As Mothers Day is tomorrow and this week has been a little all over the place, you may have forgotten to grab something other than toilet roll in this week's shop. So here is a quick list of my favourite smellies for NDD and quick pop to the shop.
Miller Harris
The newest to my perfume collection, and the ultimate in high end perfumes. Miller Harris know what they're doing, from bath products to perfectly picked perfumes. Layers of tangerine, roses, sunny narcissus and notes of vanilla to pick a few. If you're into spoiling your mum, this is a real treat (for your nose too!). The scent comes in a perfume, and a body cream and wash set also if you wanted to test the waters! Get it here.
Dior
Working with Dior is an obvious career highlight. So the product you see was gifted via our last Instagram collaboration. It doesn't stop me wanting to wear it EVERY day, especially the Dior Joy Intense (slightly more than the original Joy, which I still LOVE). They're both a very natural but floral scent to wear daily. Buy them here.
Marc Jacobs
Daisy is my mum's ultimate favourite perfume, and she will always receive some from one of us come birthday, Christmas and Mothers day. Everytime I catch a sniff somewhere I always think of my mu straight away, and I wear it myself on special occasions to feel all the warms inside. I can't offer you anything more dear to me than that. Buy it here.

I've had a few people in my life move into their first (or second) homes this year, so decorations and bits and bobs are high up on the agenda for gifts (whilst I have an excuse). Here's a list of my top homeware bits:
Mugs- I mean they're perfect for decoration and hot chocolate (or tea or coffee) drinking when it gets chilly in the evenings. The bigger, the better as they say...
Candles- Not just any candles- Christmas candles. Because WHY NOT
Personalised tree decorations- for my boyfriend's brother and his new girlfriend, I bought a little bauble with 'first christmas' on and their names, and from Etsy, a painted bauble with their family's surname on, in the only two colours his mum has on their tree. Girlfriend points at the ready...
Big chunky blankets- this one from matalan is a bargain for £20 and I'll be keeping it and ordering another because I love it that much. Soz mum.
Watches- because have you ever met a man who's said "I have too many watches?" This Ben Sherman one does the trick too.
Aftershave- the usual effort, however this year get something YOU fancy smelling everyday, so it becomes a gift for him and a treat for you too.
Walles- I've gone to town this year with wallets, from Fossil to brands on Amazon. They last a year so a solid choice for Christmases to come.
Fleece pj bottoms- because men like fluffy things too.
Alcohol- there are LOADS of alcoholic gift sets, with bottles and their matching glasses on offer this year. Helps to reduce the pub theft if you know what I mean.
Their fave brand- this year I've bought Jay a Fred Perry T-shirt because he loves the brand so much. It's not the cheapest either, so for once or twice a year I think I can spare the change.
TOO FACED Christmas Dreams Beauty Daydreamer set
Armed with a lip gloss, full face palette and a mini mascara, wrapped up in a limited edition makeup bag, Too Faced have it all going on this Christmas. The bunny pattern is festive yet childlike (in a good way) and sweet as anything. I was going to give this away, but I think that I quite need this set in my life. NEED.
SOAP & GLORY Brow Fabulous (and other gift sets)
Soap & Glory are THAT brand that's definitely high street, but with a luxurious spin to their products. I saw every Christmas set they have on offer back in September/October time and I would quite like them all please and thank you. There's something for everyone, the She's So Lippy lip gloss set is perfect for a secret santa for the girl who loves makeup. For the skincare addict, the Make Your Smooth body butter and polish duo fits the bill. The Brow Fabulous set is my personal favourite. A tin with a brow gel, 2-in-1 brow pen and a shaper/highlighter, with a fab sized tweezer in there for good measure. The tin also give you tips for using each product, so it's a win win all round.
What are you opting for this Christmas?
TED BAKER Shaded Blooms eye shadow palette
Another product that I picked up when I was browsing the Christmas sets a few months ago. It's not a set, but bare with me here. Ted Baker are the present company in my house. Everyone that I buy for gets at least one TB present a year, just because the quality is amazing and you can find TB products for not a large price these days, especially with the 3-for-2 beauty items in Boots. One of those items being this palette. 9 shades of nudes and shimmers, to leave you dazzling on that dance floor all night.
SANCTUARY SPA Tub Goals
I remember when I was younger, how my mum would buy Sanctuary things all the time. The bathroom had that distinct Sanctuary smell and even now, one sniff relaxes me with ease. When the Being range came out, I was a big fan, as Sanctuary had seemed too luxury for a teenager to buy (legit thoughts in my head at the time). It's still fairly new (and I'm still fairly young I hope) and I love that they now offer a range of fun bits and bobs such as the Tub Goals set. This includes a bubble bath, body puff, face mask and an inflatable drinks holder, which I assure you will be put straight to good use this evening. I LOVE their salted caramel & macadamia 'bon bombs' to pop in the baths with some bubbles, and adding one of their masks (usually the pomelo one) for a festive pamper.
LAURA GELLER The Ultimate Kajal Longwear Eyeliner
Why have one eyeliner when you can have 7? The packaging of this set is beautiful and subtle and I love the idea of different coloured eye liners, even if I'm not brave enough for a red or green just yet.
PIXI by PETRA Hello Rose!
I picked this little set up from ASOS recently, and I know that they have variations of them in a few places. This little box contains a highlighter, lip plumper and a blusher/highlight powder.
