Lately I've Been...#2

It's been a strange couple of weeks and an awful lot has happened, changing my life in some big ways. It hasn't been a bad time exactly but it has been tough so I've been taking some time to really appreciate the little things that make me smile :)

I'm no longer working at the bubble tea shop so this means I've had the chance to really throw myself into makeup work, designs and filling my head with inspiration. I might show you my book properly in a few weeks time but it is full of sketches, magazines snippets, designs, swatches and all things makeup artist-y!

Organising! One of my favourite things to do is take stock of all the beautiful things I'm lucky enough to have and the other day I sorted through my nail polish storage and had a mini reshuffle and brought some of the colours I wear less to the front of the shelf so that they get their turn :)

I've been spending time with some very lovely people. One of my resolutions this year is to take some time out and socialise. Some of my friends have been really great the last couple of weeks and it's meant a lot and definitely kept me laughing.

Relaxing with a kindle and burning lots of sweet, warming candles is what January is made for right? Well its how I'm spending cold, rainy evenings. I'm currently reading a book called The Little Coffee Shop of Kabul and it's brilliant! I haven't written a book review in a while because I haven't read anything I've felt warranted it but this is so fascinating and well written that I'll be sure to pop one up when I'm finished reading.

What have you been up to so far during January? Anything exciting?

Lately I've Been...

Its been a strange old week and next week is already looking totally manic so blogging is having to take a back seat just for a little bit. I'll try and schedule a couple of posts tomorrow evening but Three Little Buhos might be a little quiet this week!
Anyway, I've been up to lots lately and thought I'd share a few of the nicer bits :)

1. Got the house ready for Christmas! I love eclectic decorations. This year I've added 2 pretty owl ornaments to my collection :)

2. Burnt lovely cosy smelling candles to fill the house with warming sweet smells.

3. Visited the Bath Christmas market with two of my favourite people :) Cold and busy but sooo worth it!

4. Received some exciting post ready to enjoy over the festive period. I cannot get over the beauty of th Naked 3 palette!

5. Become hooked on Aspall mulled cider. It is so warming and tastes just like Christmas in a mug. Seriously good stuff!

I love the lead up to Christmas. It may be overly busy and weirdly stressful but you just can't beat it. The atmosphere, the lights, the food...so good!
What have you been up to lately?
