#off to uni

Over the past week I’ve done a few shopping trips for uni, which have been successful in following my room’s colour scheme (duck egg blue) but unsuccessful in acquiring what I actually need (ie. a mini clothes horse). It’s also included shopping, but that’s another post entirely.

The first picture, from left to right, shows a succulent pot, a toothbrush holder and a large mug. They were all bought from Tiger for £2 and I love them. The toothbrush holder is actually just a mug without a handle but, as I already have a multitude of mugs, I’ve decided to repurpose it as a toothbrush holder. My favourite is the mug because it is absolutely huge. And I like the way it’s slightly wonky, because that suits my aesthetic. The succulent pot is really just a small plant pot and it’s going to hold my small saguaro cactus.

The middle picture shows 3/5 of my succulents (two still need to be properly potted) and my new bullet journal. The succulents were bought from my local plant shop, as were the pots, whilst the bullet journal and pen come from Paperchase. The notebook has dotted pages and I can’t wait to actually try and keep a bullet journal.

The final photo shows a picture frame which is going to become a shadowbox and an incredibly soft blanket. The frame is from IKEA and I bought the blanket from HomeSense, although it’s a Parisian House product.

Overall I spent about £30 on these items (the succulents were leaving gifts), with the most expensive being the blanket and notebook at £10 each.

Thank god.
