Its been a while hasn't it?! I know and I'm sorry for being poop.

I will start by saying that I have missed blogging properly so much whilst I've been on the quiet side! But I've been so so tired and busy that its felt like I've had no time to even check Bloglovin, never mind write a post and hold a full blown photo shoot for it.

As you may or may not know, at the start of November I started a full time office job, and I absolutely love it! I was also working every other weekend in my old part time job as a housekeeper at the nursing home where my mum works. So I was only ever getting like, 4 days in total off in the month, and working 12 days straight. It was killing me.

Recently I quit my weekend job, and I also took a Wednesday, Thursday and Friday off, so I had a very lovely, very long weekend! On the Wednesday evening (16th), Tom and I went to see Dynamo live in Leeds, which was quite fab, and then at midnight we watched Star Wars, which was SO GOOD OKAY OMG. A must must must see! I didn't even like Star Wars that much and now its safe to say I have a little obsession going!

Then on the Friday I had my hair and nails done, which was super nice because I had a chunk of hair chopped off and I'm loving having a little change! I also had my disgustingly outgrown acrylics off and had gel on my real nails which was also nice to go back to natural.

And finally, on the Saturday, I got a new tattoo that I had been waiting so long to get and I'm so incredibly pleased with it. I think it will definitely be something I'll show off as much as I can. It has a lot of meaning for me. The sunflower represents my mum, because they're her favourite flower for many reasons that now as an adult I admire her for, and to me she is a beautiful sunflower. The forget-me-nots represent my granddad and my sister, as they were his favourite flower. And you can't really see but on the outsides there are a few pieces of lavender, this is to represent my nan, because whenever I see or smell lavender, I think of her, no one even knows why but for me it's just her. My mum is also getting a matching, smaller version and the idea is that she is the sunflower, and my sister and I are the forget-me-nots.

Hopefully I'll get back in to the swing of things now that Christmas is out of the way! In the meantime, I hope you guys are all well and enjoying some rest time over Christmas, let me know in the comments what you've been getting up to, I love to know!

Not long ago, the incredibly lovely Charlotte from Coconut Lane contacted me, and asked me if I'd like to get involved with a deal they were doing for up and coming bloggers. Charlotte told me about how when she started out her blog, she found it difficult to connect with brands, so her aim now is to help those like her.

I was so excited when Charlotte told me about her brand, and I couldn't believe that I hadn't discovered this shop for myself yet! The products are sassy and minimalistic, with a range of wall prints, phone cases, greeting cards and jewellery!

I just had to grab myself the greeting cards, because, well, I do love me a bit of Harry Styles, and who hasn't got a Kendall to their Kylie?

I instantly fell in love with the wall prints, I love how minimalistic they are, and even better, the quotes are motivational, WITHOUT being cheesy! Who knew?

Now for the exciting part! The incredibly lovely Charlotte just got even lovelier, because she has given me a 20% discount code for all you little munchkins.

So go wild guys! Treat yourselves to some amazingly cute and adorable goodies amongst the season of buying for others, I know you want to! All you need to do is enter the code CATS20 at the checkout! (I feel immensely cool having my own discount code, omg)

This post is super last minute, I'm so unorganised at the moment with working my full time job, my old part time job every other weekend, and Christmas on the way as well! (Which loosely translates as, I know the photo is shit.)
