It may be fair to say that I'm a bit of a hoarder. That's part of the reason I took up scrapbooking; I've always liked keeping little mementos and since rediscovering my artistic streak, it feels so much more satisfying having somewhere special to store all things arty. I also have a real problem throwing away old magazines, so I have stacks of Company, Marie Claire, Glamour, Elle and Vogue under my bed, in my wardrobe and in the loft. I love coming back to old editions to create new moodboards or visionboards and now I have two more to add the ever-growing pile! I'm particularly enjoying March's Marie Claire, with the features on Idris Elba and Maya Angelou, although Elle was great for carrying on my commutes. Elle also came with Benefit's new mascara, which I still have yet to try! It's also really fun comparing the different suggestions on how to tackle upcoming trends. I do find myself turning to Instagram and fashion blogs for inspiration a bit more nowadays but I don't think I'll ever outgrow the joy of flicking through the glossy pages of  a magazine. I'm a bit old school like that. #geriatricJade

I asked for some bath bombs for Christmas (proving again how I am skipping my twenties and embarking on my sixties) primarily because I thought they'd be a cheap and easy present for my brother to buy, given his limited student funds. But mostly I asked for them because I just really like bath bombs (cue intense use of the see no evil monkey emoji). I like to think there would be no shame in opting for bath bombs over jager bombs if I were to be given the choice, but I'm probably only saying that because I'm jealous that my social life rarely extends beyond the fictional characters I'm either watching or writing about. Anyway, these Bathfizzers came in a range of three heart shaped shades varying from pale, dusty pink to a much more vibrant, brighter magenta, with the middley most akin to a cute pearlescent pink. I mean, who wouldn't enjoy soaking their soul in shocking pink bubbles?

So sorry to all you fantastically fun people, I'll be taking my choice of bomb without the side order of palpitation-inducing energy drinks for the time being. Sorry, not sorry.
