Back From The Dead - Home Decor

As per a prompt from a family member I have emerged like a glorious butterfly!

Life drags you down with it, and though you dedicate yourself to writing a Blog you ultimately forget to and end up coming back almost a year later and thinking, 

"Hey, I haven't written anything in ages!". 

SO. On that note I have set a phone reminder to prompt myself to write at least once a week.

I have continued to be active on Instagram, feel free to follow to see a more visual diary of what happens in this students's mutterings.

Today I sit at my laptop working on Journalism stories and pondering the end of the short holidays before I return to Uni next week. I suppose I even miss it!

As of recent I have been focusing on re-decorating the apartment (still in Newtown) and keeping tidy for the coming colder months.

In particular I have been fascinated with flowers recently. I am finally at a stage where I earn enough working at the bakery where I can afford a fresh bunch of flowers every week or so. It's amazing what it can do for your mood. 

I.e. If I were to buy a slice of cake each week to make me feel better, flowers do that job, and better (and healthier, haha)

Have a look at these photos from around my home for some inspiration! I have also put out a lot of candles and lighting features for pleasant smells, moods and settings. 

These little robots are great collectibles from 'Doctor Django's'

Check out Crosley's website for brilliant turntables

Can't tell these are fake right? I saved old wine/beer bottles for cute and cheap decor

This was a gift from last Easter, but really adds some cute to the room!

I love using a cake tier to hold my jewelry, you see everything you own straight away.
(Note the classic Russian childhood novels)

I recently bought these tulips for the bathroom and they are stunning!

The tv seemed a little plain, so I've prettied it up with some lovely flowers,
the stack of coffee table books adds a warm, home-like touch, as well as the little candle bowl.

In addition, I have been focusing on keeping my clothes in plain sight with the open-rack (to save money on clothes I already have!)

This is from Domayne home wares, 'Reddy Robe'

I'll write another post very soon!
Until then,

A good break is well deserved (back to Uni denial)

And once more the joyous pressures of studying have returned...!

I managed to have a severely intense amount of baths recently. Apologies for not posting them but I realised that it's probably much more interesting to go and have a bath yourself instead of reading reviews on it.

Take this advice. Go have a bath.

You'll feel good.

I'm rather thrilled that the weather appears to be warming up slowly in Sydney despite the fact it's still middle-of-winter-time.

It's been a long long time since I posted about how our home decoration has been progressing, so I shall be doing a wonderfully updated post in this coming week.

Newtown has been treating us well.

Currently my mutterings will revolve around trying to figure out what to do in between uni, (Getting a job. How mundane) as well as engaging in my own time wasting blissfullness in as many ways possible.

Perhaps do some practice Journalism?

Perhaps revive my deceased Tamagotchi?

A Bath of Flowers

Yesterday evening I decided to try out the Tisty Tosty bath bomb, mainly for its soothing purposes, as I wanted to relax after a rather energetic Saturday.

This bath bomb wasn't at all coloured, so my bath remained the same (I was saddened because I like colourful bath products). However, what it lacked in colour it made up for in scent and atmosphere.

It fizzed quickly and released a wonderful combination of flowery and vanilla scents. As a bonus, this bomb also releases many little flowers which float around while you enjoy the smells.

It made for a fantastic little paradise of a bath.

I would love it even more if there was a bit of colour thrown in, but it's still a great product.

While I was in the bath I also had some lavender and rose tea from Ovvio, which paired wonderfully with the flowery bath.

I suggest you grab a herbal cup of tea with this bath bomb.

Ovvio stocks many fantastic organic products, I suggest you try their activated organic macadamia nuts. They're unbelievably delicious (and each one tastes like a cookie!)

Check out Ovvio's website here, or pop into their store in Paddington, Sydney if you're nearby!

Are there any teas you would have with a bath? What's the best floral bath product you like? Let me know in the comments below.

I'd love to hear back from you guys so I can try out your suggestions!
