The Glueless Scr4pbook.

I have recently been given the opportunity to move into an apartment on short term let for work and I've managed to make myself quite at home so I wanted to share a few pics of how I've made it my own with just a few additions.

So the kitchen is really clean and bright but had a few bits cluttered on the side, utensils etc. which I just removed to keep it really clear and calm. The living area has a nice vintage pink sofa which was full of cutesy cushion but to make it more me I've just removed them and added my blanket since it's become much colder in the evenings now and the dining table had a printed table cloth so I have just removed it so I can keep this area as a desk, added my mags and a nice candle from Anthropologie. The bedroom and bathroom are pretty standard so I've just added a blanket to the bed and made sure the bathroom is full of all my favourite products to make it more my own.

I have recently heard about an amazing company 'Handy' which is basically a one stop shop for everything apartment related from cleaning to moving in, handy.com home cleaning is basically an amazing and quick way to book next day cleaning for a time of your convenience securely online with a money back guarantee. You can also book people to move you in, paint your walls, hang you pictures and assemble your furniture, all on one site, the online reviews are amazing too.

So since it's getting into those cold Winter months, with all those chapped lips ahead I thought it was about time I shared my favourite lip balms, so here they are...

Nivea Lip Butter Caramel Cream

This one is more of a thick cream than a balm, lovely smoothing texture, protects lips and smells amazing.

Grown Alchemist Vanilla & Watermelon

This is definitely a gel texture, a bit gloopy but not sticky at all, gorgeous sleek packaging, lasts ages and smells super refreshing.

EOS Strawberry Sorbet & Coconut Milk

These are a true balm, in cute little packaging, organic, easy to apply and super hydrating for perfect lips.

YSL Volupte Sheer Candy in Lush Coconut

This is a brilliant high end option with lots of hydration and a natural brown tint, plus the packaging is to die for.

YSL Volupte Tint-in-Oil in I Rose You

The liquid equivalent to the above, this is not actually a lip balm at all, but given the oil texture and smoothing, moisturising effects, it does the same job. Perfect.

Vaseline

The perfect all rounder! This is the classic throw in your bag balm, always smells great, hydrates for hours and has a multitude of uses.

Bobbi Brown Lip Balm

This has a lovely light rose scent, again it's a thick balm which lasts ages on the lips and you don't need a lot either. Packaging has a cute vintage feel too.

Nuxe Reve de Miel

This is the thickest of all balms, very grainy too, great for using overnight. Smells like lemons and honey and a little goes a long way.

& Other Stories Coconut Lip Balm

The newest addition to my collection, but already a firm favourite, similar in texture to the Grown Alchemist, slightly thicker, smells amazing & hydrates for hours.

Are any of these your favourites too?
