january survival kit

I don't really like January. I don't like the cold-but-no-snow limbo, the post-Christmas-blues, the thick grey skies, the dark when you get up. I specifically don't like this January. Between choosing GCSE subjects and taking about a gajillion (?) tests I also have to do revision, get up at 7:00 and get enough sleep, whilst simultaneously having a social life. However all that aside, they do say every day is a gift, so I've compiled a little list on how to enjoy this January, whether you're going back to school, work or uni.




Have a read and tell me what you think! (I've been trying out a new collaging edit style, do you like it?) Everything in here will hopefully help make your January a little less painful... songs, tips, things to buy, etc. (NAMELY BATHBOMBS! drop everything and run to the lush sale, I got 3 bath bombs for £6!) 


happy new year! here's to another 3 months of crossing out "2015" when I write the date ;)

I'm listening to:

cool for cats - squeeze

P.S - One last tip for January: MUG CAKES. Satisfied all my late night cake cravings <3

    this is such a neat collage (and you gave so many good tips!). i'd love to see more! btw listened to cool for cats, and i'm kind of into it. for some reason i've been digging eighties funk vibes in music lately. kinda like muse's "panic station"

    January is like a solid mediocre month, just as much requirement to survive as any other month. I love you collage, Esme! I hope you do these for the rest of the months <3

    Ahh I love this collage format, would definitely love to see more of these! I feel you on January's boring-ness, there aren't even any interesting holidays! I think cute stationary is a must for me as well.
