May Favourites

1

I realised that I haven't posted a favourites blog in a while and since May has been and gone, I thought it was about time for another. Let me know in the comments below what your favourites have been this month and if you agree with any of mine...

First up is a bit of a strange one. It's the weather. So if you live in England, like me, you probably will have realised that the weather has been a bit strange this month! There really was something for everyone: snow and hail in the first few days; lots of rain, but that also meant rainbows; storms in some parts; and now sun! It is predicted that 2016 could be one of the hottest years on record, although weather forecasters have been very wrong previously! Obviously it is kind of bad that it is so warm, as it is mostly due to climate change and the warming of our planet, but I'm not complaining-if I actually get a tan this year then I will be very pleased! What has the weather been like where you live?


Paperchase released quiet a few new stationary collections earlier this year, called Let's Squawk, Wild Blossom , Aqua Marine, Serengeti, Get away and Hello Sweetie! They are all really nice and, as Paperchase ranges usually are, full of character. My favourites are the Let's Squawk Sticky Note Book and the Aqua Marine Ideas Journal and Gel Notebook. The only problem with Paperchase products, especially the notebooks and journals, is that I find is that they are so nice I don't want to ruin them by writing in them! I don't need any more notebooks as I have so many that are empty but I always want more as Paperchase are always releasing new ranges!
I am also part of  the 'Treat Me' scheme at Paperchase. I joined recently as it sounded like I would get quite a lot out of it. This part was definitely true-it is free to join and there are so many perks! Just a few of these include - a £5 gift on your birthday (for up to 2 weeks afterwards), free click and collect, a £5 reward for when you spend over £50 (this is not in one shop, it adds up over a period of 6 months) and 15% off of your first purchase within 30 days after your card has become valid in a store. There are also tons of treats online and in store available. I definitely would recommend getting this card, if you haven't already, particularly if you are a bit of a Paperchase addict like me!
As well as Paperchase, Pinterest has taken up quite a lot of my time recently! I have been busy looking for summer DIYs and food ideas, as well as searching for summer clothes ready for the BBQ weather that we have been promised! It is so easy to use and you can literally spend hours on there scrolling through thousands of pages of pins.

That's all for now! I still can't quite believe that summer is less that a month away! It's been a long time coming but I think I am ready and equipped with my many summer DIYs and food ready to make. Comment below if you would like to see any blogs on summer DIYs etc. and don't forget to follow me on Pinterest @BlogspotBlogger.
Thanks for reading,
Bye for now!
