Getting excited for my new shoe rack! Featuring Industerior

 Hi everyone! I'm so excited to talk about something small that I ordered from Industerior, a lovely Etsy shop that sells industrial furniture of all shapes and sizes. The brand sells furniture that's crafted in Yorkshire, and they're one of the most unique furniture shops that I've ever seen. The reason is that the brand's items are all super interesting, sort of edgy and very stylish. 

As you all know, I recently moved into a small studio in Oxford for my studies. It's really nice to be able to live alone for once, and I've always dreamed about having my own space to live in. However, little did I know that it's so difficult to organise the space in a studio well. The flat is about 350 square foot, and it's quite tiny with a giant bed and a small kitchen. 

The biggest problem is that I have no room for my shoes! They're currently sprawled out all over the place, and I really wanted to tidy up the alleyway by finding a lovely shoe rack to fit the space. Industerior is amazing in that their items can be customised to fit any space, as long as you email or message the owners, they are happy to help. Customer service is brilliant, and I'm super excited to say that I've ordered a shoe rack from the shop which will be delivered soon.

The shoe rack that I've chosen is an industrial-styled one that looks like the rack at the bottom of this lovely coat rack that the shop sells. 

I am super excited to show you what it looks like soon. Hope you like my little blog post, and please let me know what you think! Don't forget to check out Industerior and admire their amazing range of furniture! 

Best Pillow To Decorate Your Bed With- KnitWitHome Review

Great decorative pillows are really hard to find. Honestly, I've struggled with finding the perfect decor since I've moved to Oxford  after university do to a PhD. However, today Today I want to talk about Knit Wit Home, a lovely UK-based home decor brand that sells some of the most amazing pillows that I've ever seen. 

A bit about the brand- Knit Wit Home specialises in handmade accessories for the home. They're based in the UK and sells a wide range of handmade knitted chunky pillows and throws. The brand makes everything themselves, which means that their designs are unique, customisable and totally chic. Take a look below at what I got from the brand! 

I got this lovely arm knitted pillow which I used for a while before writing this review. This is one of the best hand-knitted decorative pillows that I've ever used, for it fits my room perfectly and looks extremely chic and cute. This lovely curved pillow is great for people seeking additional something for your bedroom or studio, as it's got a lovely shape and comes in a petite and convenient size. 

The best thing about this pillow is the quality and style. The quality is fantastic, as the pillow features a lovely knitted merino wool surface layer, which feels super soft and is extremely high-quality. The inner layer is stuffed with a plush padded material which is soft, supportive and lovely. This pillow would deal gift for all occasions including birthdays, housewarming, Christmas, or even just a gift to yourself if you move into a new house. I've never had a merino wool pillow before, as I thought they break easily. However, merino wool is actually one of the strongest and most durable materials ever, and they feel absolutely fantastic. 

The pillow's size is also customisable as you can specify to the brand what size you want. The color is also fully customisable, and I chose white because it matched my bedsheets. The brand is so flexible and versatile with its customisations, and anyone can find something that fits them! The pillow is designed to look really good anywhere, be it your bed, the sofa, your chair or even on top of a coffee table. It's the perfect way to decorate your bed and studio if you have a small apartment. 

Overall, I want to say how impressed I am with Knit With Home's products and chunky knitted pillow. It's one of the best pieces of home decor that I've ever tried. I'm really impressed with the impeccable design of the chunky pillow, the lovely design and the luxurious and comfortable material that the pillow is made of. I think Knit Wit Home is definitely one of the best brands that I've ever tried and I'd highly recommend them if you want to treat yourself to something new this year! 

The Best Asian Skincare Shop in UK- Buttermilk Skincare Review

 Awesome news, YES Asian skincare products do exist in UK shops! And today's featured shop is called Buttermilk Skincare, an awesome shop that delivers these Asian beauty products straight to your doorstep.

A bit about the brand- amazing Asian skincare doesn't have to be expensive and this is what Buttermilk Skincare aims to deliver to their customers. The brand sells a range of affordable, natural but effective Asian skincare products for women and men, and these are super affordable and cute at the same time! Take a look ay my haul below! 

As you all know, I have quite yellow skin so I really need to protect it from getting dark. I got a lovely Klairs Unscented Toner  from their shop, which is special because it is composed by non-toxic and natural ingredients without any perfume. It contains antioxidant complex to fight free radicals and avoid the damage they would cause and repairing enzymes to mend possible existing problems.

It comes in a convenient plastic bottle so it's easy to apply and use. The bottle is 180ml in size, so it will last quite long and can be put in any handbag or wallet. It's quite convenient to squirt it out as opposed to pouring out, so I use it directly on my face without any sponge or cotton pads. 

As part of my face cleansing routine, I got the Organic Fruits Peeling Finger Mitt from Whamisa, which is a K-beauty brand that I've never heard or of tried. It's really good though, and I love the smell of the face wash. I think the brand does a great job in selecting products that are mild and gentle on the skin.

This exfoliator, which was one of the brand's signature products, is amazing. This delicate and lightweight physical exfoliator is completely delightful and made with really powerful ingredients such as fruits extract and other ingredients which boasts powerful cleaning and cell-boosting properties. I love this exfoliator as my skin literally feels so smooth after, and it's really easy to apply too.

I've been testing these products for about 1.5 weeks now. Overall, my skin feels really soft after using these products for a few days. I'm really impressed with their texture as they kind of remind me of the more expensive products that I've tried in the past only without the hefty price tag. I love the toner most, as it's refreshing and improved my acne a lot.

They've kindly given you a discount code of 20%to use on their website: FLO20 - please use it! 

Best Ways To Furnish Your Studio- Fabulous Furniture Review

I'm approaching the end of my student years, but I want to pass on some wisdom to you all who may be starting university or school soon. Now, I always felt homesick when I first moved out of my home and into a student dormitory. The student rooms are small, lonely and empty- and quite frankly not very pleasant to begin with. However, I slowly learned to decorate the room with wonderful things that students can afford, and over time I've learned to love my room!

I'm going to talk about the best furniture for your room- a little wooden shelf. In particular I want to show you this brilliant toiletries shelf that I got from Fabulous Furniture, one of the most affordable and delightful furniture shops that I've ever seen. They sell studio-friendly, room-friendly furniture and they're absolutely wonderful!

A bit about the brand- Fabulous Furniture is a shop that sells high-quality furniture for a fraction of the price in furniture shops. On their site, you can find thousands of a range of styles suited for small and larger homes. These include industrial-themed as well as modern styles, in a range of different sizes and colours. You will also find a large number of wooden furniture that go really well with slightly trendier furniture. They're perfect for students on a budget, or for young people who newly moved into a flat!

I got this Bathroom Storage Unit for my studio room recently to replace my old shelf, and I have to say that this is one of the best investments that you can make for your dorm. This storage unit arrived after around 2 weeks of ordering, which is incredibly fast. It came rolled up in tape and wrapping, and arrived in perfect condition. It wasn't too heavy, so I carried it up to my studio room. 

This stunning rustic piece is handmade from solid reclaimed wood which adds character and flair to the home. I love the color of the shelf, as it's customisable and looks really nice and fresh against my carpet and white walls. I used this handy rack to store towels, masks and goodies that I need before I go out of my door. I placed it outside my toilet so that it's in a really convenient location for easy access. I love how it's small, compact and looks amazing in the room.

In terms of the design and quality, just look at the unit! It's absolutely gorgeous and stunning as it comes in a light wooden frame. It also stands up for itself well, as it has a 4-panel design which means that it can be placed on any corner with ease. I personally used it inside my corridor, and it looks absolutely amazing not to mention it is incredibly stylish and practical. I use it for storing accessories, and it's so Instagram/ Tumblr-worthy too! It looks like a rustic dream. 

Overall, I'm super happy with this lovely item from Fabulous Furniture. The quality is fantastic- it's really well-made and everything from Fabulous Furniture is manufactured to the highest standard. This unit can last me for years to come and is definitely a staple piece of furniture in any home. It fits into the toilet really well, and can be used as a general shelf outside the bathroom too. I'd highly recommend this lovely shop! 

Lover-Beauty Wishlist 2020

Hey guys! I've been browsing a lovely site called Lover-Beauty lately and can't believe the lovely cheap prices! They're probably one of the most affordable clothing stores I've seen so far. Although I haven't gotten anything off there yet, I might just try it after my exams. I've beens so stressed- I just had 4 exams and I'm waiting for my last one on Friday. This is like a semi-short moment of break. To be honest, they haven't exactly gone very well this year, probably due to my poor planning and revision technique. Oh well- hope the last one goes well!

Apart from the huge levels of work, I've been having a mellow week. It's too cold to go out, for a run, for a shopping trip, and for many other things, I just didn't feel like going anywhere. So I stayed in, watched Youtube channels, watched funny Asian videos and poured over beautiful fashionable pictures on the internet. Decided not to online shop any more except in special circumstances (aka when there's a sale that you just GOT to check out). 

I love their wholesale shapewear as they have a huge selection of waist-cinching, shape-enhancing and body-shaping apparel for women who want to trim off some extra pounds this festive season. For those who are celebrating Christmas or Thanksgiving this year, we all know that this is the season to look good and sexy for those around you, and these shape wear really gives you the best shape possible! 

I also love their Black Friday wholesale sportswear Deals as sportswear can be worn on any occasion. Active clothing are good to wear for the following occasions:

1. Gym night - if you're going out with the girls then a sexy tank top will make you stand out from the crowd! 
2. Party - these beautiful jackets are perfect for events like a birthday party or a regular cocktail party where you can look sporty and cute. 
3. Casual dinners - don't carry the misconception that jackets are only for the club nights, but they can also be for casual dinners and low-key nights, where you can impress your date and friends. 
4. Family gatherings - this is probably my favourite time to wear sportswear as it's guaranteed to make your mum and dad admire your new physique. 

Hope you like my wish list! Let me know what you think and don't forget to check them out if you want. They're so affordable and cute! 

 Reminder that I love shopping at StrawberryNET for all my beauty products. Take a look below at what I got in my last haul, which I posted on Instagram for you to see! 

As I mentioned before, I'm so happy with my latest haul products. StrawberryNet is amazing and ships worldwide, and I am in the UK for a while and I still order from them. Guys, please take a look at their shop!

The Best Furniture To Decorate A Studio With- Muju Furniture Review

Hey everyone! My new studio in the UK doesn't have much furniture, so I thought I'd talk about a cute little table set that I got this year from Muju Furniture, an amazing Etsy shop that sells a variety of reclaimed wooden furniture with a chic, industrial feel. I chose the Nesting Tables with Reclaimed Wood made of Hairpin legs because I needed something to furnish my corner, and this Etsy shop sells some of the most stylish furniture that I've ever seen, perfect for a tiny studio flat. 

A bit about the brand- Muju Furniture is founded by Mark and Julie, who makes their wooden industrial furniture by hand. Their items are all amazingly stylish, chic and of the highest quality. Their Etsy shop and website stocks some of the most gorgeous pieces of furniture I've ever seen, including console tables, desks, coffee tables and shelves. Their style is quite rustic and minimalistic, and I'm really excited to do a review for you today. 

Take a look below at this amazing little nesting table set! 

I absolutely adore this wooden nesting table set, as it's perfect for a small studio flat. It's size is great for putting a plant and a cup of coffee on, as well as tidbits lying around the house. I think my favourite part about these tables are the fact that you can hide the smaller table inside the bigger one, so it saves space whenever you need to tidy up your studio. In fact, the table looks even cooler when they're stacked on top of one another. It's such a brilliant and minimalistic design, and saves space when you have a small flat. 

The wooden nesting table comes in a huge variety of colors, so you can customise this table as you wish. In fact, everything you order from their shop can be customised, as they have a variety of sizes and colors of wood to choose from. If you want this set of tables in a bigger size, they would be able to make it without a problem. I chose a small-size as this is perfect for studio living, but if I had a bigger house I'd definitely get a bigger table. This 40cm tabletop is perfect for my room, and I'd highly recommend something of this size for a studio. 

The best thing about this table is it's amazing copper hairpin legs. The shop partners with a company that produces hairpin legs, so the table was sent to me with the legs detached. All I had to do was screw on the legs, and it was super easy to do. For a student who has no experience working with furniture, this table was extremely easy to assemble, and everything from their shop can be assembled by anyone without any expertise. 

This wooden nesting table has a lot of flair. Items made from reclaimed timber can feature all the associated characteristics of it's previous life such as knots, cracks, scrapes and splits. I love how I can see the wooden features really well. It's gotten me so much compliments! 

I really love the copper hairpin legs as it is gorgeous and strong. The shop sells a variety of different legs, and I've always thought that studios should be decorated in a minimalistic way as there's no space for clutter and bulky items. These delicate thin legs look amazing when coupled with the wooden table, as wood and metal combines well together to give off a chic and edgy vibe. The hairpin legs can also be customised in height, so it's extremely versatile for every type of home.

Overall, I'm extremely happy with my new piece of furniture from Muju Furniture, as it's extremely well-made, beautiful and impeccably designed. The wood is of the best quality, and the colour is gorgeous. I'd highly recommend Muju Furniture if you want to get something for your next apartment.  

Best affordable bedding for your new home- HomeSpace Direct review

It's so cold in the UK and I'm freezing in my room. My old duvet covers aren't helpful- they're thin and flimsy and I really need an upgrade. I want to talk about this new duvet cover, bedding and pillowcase set that I got which is perfect for student dorms (such as the one I'm living in), as well as for any home. I got a lovely 100% pure cotton percale set from HomeSpace Direct a lovely and exquisite shop that sells bedding, pillows, duvets and mattress toppers for all bed sizes.

A bit about the brand- HomeSpace Direct is a shop that sells cotton and synthetic bedding, home accessories and curtains for all. They are known for being affordable as their items are made from the highest-quality materials which promises to give you a better night's sleep and home experience. Their range is fantastic and broad, suitable for homes of all types. 

I got an Egyptian Cotton White Bedding set made from 100% cotton percale- this luxurious duvet cover, pillow case and bed sheet set arrived at my house in a gorgeous packaging and bag, which allows me to carry it around for convenience. When I unboxed the bedding set, I was really excited because it looked really soft and beautiful. I unpackaged the set and laid it out on my bed, and tried using it for a few days. Here's my honest review of the set! 

First and foremost, the duvet cover is one of the most comfortable and beautiful duvet covers that I've ever seen. The quality of the cotton percale and exterior of the cover is outstanding. Their range is very affordable yet luxurious, made from Egyptian cotton which have a thread count of 200. This thread count is perfect for a good night's sleep, and isn't thin at all. This means that the quality of the duvet cover is impeccable and second-to-none. The weave is made from a tight-knit cotton, which is durable, tough and easy to clean. This is perfect for students like me!

In terms of the comfort, the duvet cover is one of the lightest and airiest things that I've ever slept under. The cotton texture creates a soft cushion around my body as it gently sinks in, making it airier and even more comfortable than a normal blanket. Best of all, I sweat a lot at night and normal blankets absorb my sweat, making me feel hot and uncomfortable. This duvet cover, however, feels great as it regulates my body temperature!

The quality of HomeSpace Direct's pillowcases are second to none, as the cotton percale is smooth, luxurious and gorgeous. If you don't like colour, the shop has some cream pillowcases which are chemical free. What I love most about these cases are that the percale weave allows your face and hair to glide while you sleep causeing less friction and breakage in the hair. I've noticed a huge difference in the way I wake up because of these pillowcases!

Now is it true that Egyptian cotton is better for sleep? Yes it is! I tried using these pillowcases for a week now, and I'm pleased to say that none of my bed hair problems have come up. I wake up with silky smooth hair and I feel like my sleep quality is better. I think the cotton pillowcases are also super comfortable and soft, and it feels really lovely on the skin. I'd definitely recommend getting one if you want your beauty sleep. 

As for their bedsheet, again it is amazing and soft. I think it is the perfect thickness for an autumn night as it's really soft, smooth and crisp. I feel like I'm sleeping under a cloud when I lie on these gorgeous bedding. I love the fitted sheets, as they're easy to put on the bed, and they are super easy to clean too. They're fully machine-washable and I really love the bedsheets. 

HomeSpace Direct is having a sale which means that you can save big when you get duvet covers, mattress toppers and more. I hope you like my review, and do visit HomeSpace Direct!
