Ugly Bug Does 1950's Sticker Kit: Spread and Review

It's a rather stormy afternoon here in Weymouth so it's nice to be tucked away in my cosy little office.
I've been working hard, getting things ready for a big Three Little Búhos Stationery announcement that I'll be posting tomorrow so be sure to check in!
Keeping my work planner organised and looking good this week is a fab kit from Ugly Bug Does featuring all kinds of 1950's cool.

Featuring everything needed to put together a weekly spread (or several) the 1950's Rock and Roll kit(*) is inspired by the classic film Grease, and when I saw a preview, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it.
I received five sheets of stickers (the full kit is now split over six sheets) featuring lists, headers, boxes, flags, pretties, trackers and icons and the theme is carried across the kit beautifully. I love the quote stickers and the cute little poodle skirts especially!

I used the 1950's Rock and Roll kit exclusively when putting together this week in my work planner and it feels like I haven't made a huge dent in the stickers...other than the border stickers which I went a little crazy with because I love hounds tooth pattern. As you can see, the colours are bright and fun and there's a nice variety of practical stickers. I have deviated from the original plan I wrote down, but plans are there to be changed right?
You can pck up the full kit from Ugly Bug Does *here* as well as lots of  variations to suit your different planning needs and as a nice little bonus, if you use the code threelittlebuhos10 you will receive 10% off your order of any Ugly Bug Does stock with no minimum spend!

Happy planning!

Office Beauty Essentials

 When it comes to work, I'm fairly laid back when in regards to beauty. I don't tend to wear any make-up, do anything special with my hair, or worry too much if my nails aren't painted. I do, however, keep a few little beauty essentials on my desk at all times to keep me fresh and happy.

Hand cream- Top of my list of must have items no matter where I am, but especially at work. I can't stand having even slightly dry hands, so when I am sat at a desk for 7 hours a day, I need one close by. At the moment I am using the Pink Pepperpod Replenishing Hand Cream from Molton Brown which may well be the best that I've ever used...but that's a post of its own.
Lip balm- I love the Soap & Glory Smooch Operator lip balm because of its rich and buttery yet non-sticky formula and gentle vanilla scent, so I always like to keep a tub of this on my desk. I'm halfway through my third pot at the moment.
Hand gel- I am a hand gel obsessive and panic if I don't have on stashed nearby. Using phones, keyboards, shared toilets and assisting with courses in various locations all mean potential for germ spreading so I like to keep my hands sanitised. My current bottle was only 59p from Lidl and the aloe vera leaf powder makes it that little bit softer on the skin.
Perfume- I do my fair share of dashing around to different locations to assist with courses, deliver things to tutors and attend meetings, so I think it is essential to keep a bottle of perfume on the desk so that I can freshen up during the day. At the moment I am working my way through Guess "Seductive" which isn't a favourite but it is a fresh and fruity scent that gives a nice midday lift.

What essentials can you not cope without at work? Do you keep beauty bits and pieces on your desk too?

Life Lately

It feels like a long time since I've written anything here, and that makes me sad. I love my blog but life lately has been pretty full of stress and a bit of a battle to stay on top of things. I won't go into it too much but a mixture of work worries and some huge changes in my personal life have left me pretty drained and all I've wanted to do is sleep or go out socialising to try and relax a bit.

I haven't forgotten about my blog and I'm looking forward to when I feel ready to get back to it properly which should hopefully be by the end of next week when I know what's happening at work.
Try not to forget me, it feels like a lot of things I love are drifting away at the moment.

On a more positive note, heres a cute owl AND cat related photo for you :)

The Dandy Necklace Part 2

I simply had to follow up my last post where I wrote about my Makeup Whore necklace from Geek Boutique with a quick post showing you the second necklace I ordered.
This one is smaller and a cute shade of baby pink, and unlike the other, VERY work appropriate :)

Again, please excuse the mugshot, its 10.30 pm so the makeup has worn off and the bra has been shed haha.
This necklace costs £6 from Geek Boutique and you can find it *here*

Aren't both necklaces just too fabby? I love them!
