TUESDAY WISH LIST #1

001 the hand written letter project | this book is basically a collection of hand written correspondence and who doesn't love a hand written note? i do.

002 viktor & rolf flowerbomb | i absolutely adore this scent, the bottle is super pretty, agh i just need it on my dressing table! it was the perfume i was wearing in london when matt & i got engaged so it reminds me of that amazing rainy day.

003 korres lip butter | i've never actually tried any of the korres products but i always hear such good things about them and my carmex is due to run out so i need some kind of lovely lip balm to keep on my desk.

004 cath kidston spray flowers beaker | i love these little plastic tumblers for drinking water, pink milk & juice out of, they're so perfect for picnics! hooray for summer!

005 pink sharpie | as an illustrator i'm always in need of a pen of some sort, this pink sharpie is perfect as the colour is super pretty & it writes on everything! even glass! not sure when i'll be writing on glass...

FRIDAY LOVES: NIGHTS IN EDITION

Untitled #38 

001 saturday nights lately | Since subscribing to netflix we've been finishing off tv shows that we'd started watching. One I've been desperate to finish was season 2 of AHS, Asylum because I'm dying to see season 3, Coven. So it's amazing, if not a little graphic, no spoilers but definitely don't eat when you're watching it! The cast are amazing and Sarah Paulson was definitely my favourite in season 2, her character Lana Winters was the heroine you were desperate to survive until the end, although Lily Rabe as Sister Mary Eunice was also incredible! 

002 Reusable Starbucks cups with my favourite tea, currently Yorkshire Gold. I'm gonna have to purchase more of my all time favourite, Teapigs everyday brew because it's awesome and I miss it. 

003 Topshop nail polishes are a welcome edition to nights in, this one in Cloak and Dagger matched perfectly with endless episodes of AHS

004  In other news, we've booked our lovely wedding, I've been making lists and collages, would you like to see wedding related blog posts? Leave me a 'hell yeah' in the comments if you would. 

SUPER, SUPER FRESH

So you lovelies know how much I love tea, my twitter name is @natashalikestea, so I really love it. My weekend treat and absolute must is the super delicious everyday brew from Teapigs. I usually pop one of their silky tea triangles into a huge Cath Kidston mug, this makes for an epic tea which lasts a while. It always makes me happy, sometimes I'll have to make another just because it's so yummy! You can always find me illustrating away in my studio with a mug of this. This tea is amazing with breakfast or on a rainy afternoon, it's a great pick me up and I've been sharing it with everyone I know. I've tried some of their other delectable flavours too and I adore their chocolate flake tea, which makes a super healthy alternative to the classic tea and biscuit/ chocolate bar combination. I don't know how Teapigs do it, but they are definitely top of the all time best cups of tea! Thanks Teapigs for making such a fab product! They're on twitter too, catch up with all things tea on there.

I'm always on the lookout for lovely teas so if you know any other great brands like Teapigs I'd love to hear about them and give them a go.

I WOULDN'T GO THERE WITHOUT YOU

Matt took me to London for our anniversary which was super lovely. We spent our days in the museums looking at dinosaur fossils, gems, pretty dresses, outer space, collections. It was amazing. We had the most incredible hamburgers & milkshakes from Byron. We ran in the rain, we fell asleep at odd times and woke up happy ♥

I'M GONNA MAKE UP MY REASONS

LET'S GO HOME

Being home on these cold weekends means lots of lovely meals from our favourite cook books, little treats from Cath Kidston to add to my ever growing collection of pretty floral cups, little towers of fresh bed linen (that always makes me happy)

KEEP YOUR HEAD UP, KEEP YOUR HEART STRONG

Since the days of summer seem to have disappeared I've reverted back to drinking Cath Kidston mugfuls of tea, with some victoria sponge- it all seemed to fit so well with the Jubilee parties going on all around us. Also, stickers are back in stock in my etsy shop! They are very summery and lovely, there's even a mermaid to keep you company and ice creams and summer dresses.

FEBRUARY SO FAR ♥

February has been lovely so far, sleepy afternoons watching Heroes, True Blood and homemade slushes, finding my old iPod and listening to My Chemical Romance, late lunches with Matt at our local, reading Atonement, sugary pancakes, afternoons out with my parents, watching amazing Studio Ghibli films my favourite is Ponyo that arrived yesterday and today an amazing package from my best friend Kimberley arrived! ♥
Hope everyone had a pretty valentines day yesterday ♥
