Keeping my spirits up!

Ah so May swung around all too quick! Exams, exams and more exams- even if the weather was good, I wouldn't be able to enjoy it! Lately I've been feeling a bit down about the whole revision thing so I have been trying to do things that will keep my spirits up. Baths usually do the job, but alas, my uni house doesn't have one (crazy!). So last weekend I decided to pop home and on my way back I popped into the Lush shop in Waterloo train station and here is what I picked up...

This one is called the Comforter, which seems rather fitting! It had a lovely berry scent and I will definitely be repurchasing.

This one is called 'Pop in the Bath' and it was equally as lovely and relaxing!

How do you relax? What's your favourite lush product?

In search of some peace and quiet

Ok, so the countdown to exams has started! My Easter holidays started on Saturday and I have four weeks until the dreaded exams start. There is one minor problem- there are builders in our house and the sound of walls being knocked down isn't exactly the ideal atmosphere to do some serious revision. So today I decided to venture outside of my house in search of a more peaceful place to work. I considered the library but I find silent work really hard and I prefer a bit of low level noise. 

I decided to try out my local cafe so that I could stock up on caffeine whilst working. I'm currently working on a project that analyses the historical accuracy of Robert Harris' "Pompeii". 

I chose this table because it had a lovely vase of daffodils (oh hello spring) and I treated myself to a cappuccino and set about reading my book whilst furiously taking notes on my post-it's. 

It was a lovely little cafe and I managed to spend a good 3 hours there, many cups of tea followed and I had a surprisingly productive day. I think I'll be visiting again soon or even venturing further afield because I do feel that it's important to switch up working spaces, especially when you lose motivation (which I often do!) 

Do you have any impending exams? Where do you work best? 

Love
