Happy weekend! I hope you all had a fabulous week but since it’s so cold outside I think I’ll be camping out at home, in my bed with a hot water bottle. I know some of you even got snow, I suspect London might be getting a little some time this weekend. Let me know in the comments what you’re doing this weekend, my recommendations are definitely based around staying at home all weekend.
1. Shop your makeup stash
Most of us still haven’t been paid this month, stop dreaming about the lipstick you want and instead rediscover one you already have. I wrote a whole blog post about making the most of what you have and the weekend is the perfect time to experiment.
2. Make an effort to be extra positive
Monday is officially ‘Blue Monday’ the most depressing day of the year research has found, make a effort to be extra positive this weekend and carry it through for the whole of your week.
3. Experiment with different photo backgrounds
Whether you’re a blogger or simply like to post on Instagram experiment with some new photo background, check out my ideas here
4. Make brunch
It’s far too cold to go outside, it’s even too cold to get out of bed so instead hang around in bed for a little longer and make yourself (why not be nice and make the whole house?) brunch.
5. Organise your desk
In order to be more productive I believe it’s important to have a well organised desk- take a look at mine and whilst you’re at it why not spend an hour planning next week, insuring it runs smoothly.
Aw I really am craving brunch but I need to go out to even buy the ingredients! #fail!

Love this post! I'm really trying to be more positive recently! I wonder why it's this Monday thats the most depressing haha? For me, Mondays aren't depressing because I'm at uni and at the moment everyday is the same during christmas break haha! xx

Love these weekly posts! Definitely need to shop my stash instead of buying even more make up!

Shopping your stash is always a good idea! I've been making the effort to do this recently and it definitely makes you realise that you don't actually need that new foundation or lippie – at least, not jut yet 😛 x

I was just telling myself last night as I was perusing Sephora, I need to stop this makeup buying madness and use up the makeup I have (which is way too much). So that's what I plan on doing!
I also need to organize my desk, but I'm the kind of person that likes a healthy amount of clutter ^_^

These a perfect little 'pick me ups' for this time of year. I will be trying the 'shop your makeup stash' one definitely.
