Lock Down Shopping! 12 ish Random Online Purchases

15/05/2020

 

Lock down those 2 little words that make headlines around the world. Even a few weeks ago we had no idea  our lives would be changed forever and we would say things like ‘ so how are you keeping busy during lock down?’ I have to admit to occasionally keeping myself amused by browsing online! That famous Oscar Wilde quote comes to mind…

 

Lock Down Shopping! 14 Random Online Purchases

Disclosure I bought all these products, some links are affiliate.

 

 

[perfectpullquote align=”full” bordertop=”false” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=””] I can resist everything except temptation – Oscar Wilde   [/perfectpullquote]

 

Lock Down Shopping, Random Online Purchases.

Yesterday I had to pop out to Boots, talk about a child in a sweet shop…I went a little over the top on shower gel, hairbrushes and shampoo. Buying in real life is so much more fun than buying online, especially when you haven’t done it for ages.

The act of physically getting my purse out ‘in real life’ reminded me, to check my online purchases. I was amused to find a random assortment of ‘essential’ items and thought I would share what I have been buying lately…

 

For the house: Cushions and candles.

What else do you need in a lock down situation? Cushions and candles are the perfect antidote for stress free, scented evenings either inside or out…

Two Zara Candles and one bottle of fragrance, from the Zara collaboration with Jo loves  – Jo Malone. Amalfi Sunray sold out fast but there are still other scents left.  Waterlily tea dress is light, sweet and fresh.

 

[perfectpullquote align=”full” bordertop=”false” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=””]…well what else do you need in a lock down situation?[/perfectpullquote]

One Beauty Pie Candle

This is my fourth and quite possibly my fifth Beauty Pie candle. I love their candles very much. Similar in size, quality, packaging and fragrance to the Diptique collection that sell in John lewis for £47 !

However if you join beauty pie and you can buy these candles for only £17. If you use this link you get your first month for free!

 

Beauty Pie details.

I subscribe for £10 a month, this allows me ‘into’ the club to buy at a greatly reduced rate. They are the same high quality makeup and skincare products, made in the same factories, but at a fraction of the cost because BP cut out the middle men and the celebrity advertising. You are only charged for the product and packaging and a small overhead cost.

 

And Other Stories sell very similar candles, I have purchased them many times in the past I rather fancy ‘Ode a la Paresse’ Reminiscent with the scent of Tuscany including, wild fig, leather and white birch hmmmm

One velvet portrait cushion from RE Found Objects:

RE are a site I have been visiting a lot during lock down, they believe in fair trade and also sell recycled and rescued items. Do take a look!

For Me: A few face and body beauty Favourites:

I love a pedicure and I dont have the patience to do it for myself, so these DR GLYCOLIC™ SOFT FEET 7-DAY PEEL SOCKS from Beauty pie are superb and really work.

NOTE you may have to wait at least 10 days to see results!

DR GLYCOLIC™ SOFT FEET 7-DAY PEEL SOCKS

 

KEY BENEFITS

These amazing Korean single-use foot peeling socks are formulated with high-percentages of Glycolic and Lactic Acids, Natural Fruit extracts of Grapefruit, Orange and Lemon, plus Sweet Almond and Coconut extracts to:

  • Exfoliate and smooth cracked heels and dry skin
  • Smooth and soften dead skin cells and calluses
  • Re-hydrate, soothe and condition
  • Give you baby-soft feet in 7- 10 days

L’Oreal Magic Retouch for those lock down roots!

I do not want to dye my hair myself (believe me box dye mistakes take time to rectify) So  I contacted my wonderful hair colourist, she suggested this product: I finally believe in magic!

Use this I implore you, it works simply spray in and wash out when you next shampoo your hair. There is even a video to help you apply it. I use dark blonde to cover my grey roots, but there are a variety of other colours that will match your own colour.

BTW The Nursem hand cream I will cover in another post about hand care in more detail

 

To wear: 2 traditional nighties and a pair of slippers for outdoors:

 

A nightie I know! Who knew they would be so comfy? so pretty and keep you cool and/or warm, due to the natural cotton fabric. One from good old M&S another from Zara Home. They are presently on rotation, one in the wash and one being worn.

 

 

Zara Home Nightdress

I have this one from Zara Home

 

 

Zara Home also do some lovely quality, well priced footwear. I bought these felt clog slippers to wear outside, but they appear to have almost sold out, even though they came in four colours! Do take a look at Zara Home, its separate from the Zara clothing stores and in my opinion, much better quality.

For getting your craft on:

If you are wondering why there is some sack-like fabric on that table? I bought some hessian to make a rag rug to use up some old t-shirt fabric. Have you read my rag rug post with all the details here?

Me, my dog, a bowl of crochet monsters, coffee brewing and chocolate digestives in the tin. Welcome to my world. I’m so rock ‘n roll it hurts!
.
Book is where the patterns for the monsters can be found, save for reference it’s a good one.

A bowl of fossils found on the beach. Large jar of hag stones that Marc brings home for me. A collection of beautiful @penguinclassics from a house clearance sale. An old wooden panel from a skip. An Ikea lamp that is 25 years old. Bits and bobs from boot fairs. 
All this and more makes for a home with spirit and personality and a very pretty #shelfie !
