you said you like freaky people, so I thought you might like me a little bit!

 Dearest readers, though there are few of you, I wanted to share my favourite corner of my University room with you! I hope you enjoy! I'm a fan of creative chaos, so this corner is rather messy, but a collection of my favourite things, including my January art journal, Naked palette, watering can from my old mental health nurse, Mayuge (by Sayaka) earwarmers and my acrylic paints . Here's an overview.

 Although it's pretty hidden there is a painting on the right, and it's inspired by my feelings for my mother with a photo of her sellotaped on, I like to display it discreetly. My watering can is the home for several make-up brushes, a pencil, a straw and a lid. Also I made the box they balance on myself, it's an old cider box covered in recycled (aka unwrapped presents) wrapping paper and magazine clippings.

 Lily (my future housemate) and I bought this instax in Brighton a few weekends ago and it's lovely, there's something magical and nostalgic about instant photographs. It's a little on the ugly side, but we love it!

 Alex bought me these beautiful tulips yesterday as an early Valentine's Day present! I was so excited when  I received them!!! I love flowers so much.

They're beautiful, then they die - like us.

 I also bought this Shock-headed Peter card in Brighton and I was beyond excited when  I found it in a little gift shop, as I love him - he inspired Tim Burton's character, Edward Scissorhands, and can be found in a German fairytale. I think I first heard about him in summer of 2013 when I was in hospital in Woking and my psychologist, who also loved Edward, told me about him, so I looked him up, and loved him ever since. I also love 'Der Daumenlutscher' as fair as German poetry goes!

 I so want to be the lady on this card! I love tattoos (I have 5 myself)! Pin ups are so glamorous <3

 A big chunk of rose quartz - apparently it gives you peace in relationships, which is exactly what I need (having trouble in interpersonal relationships, due to my BPD diagnosis). I find it looks lovely though, even if it doesn't actually have any peaceful influence.

 Two apple pictures: one in oil pastel and one in acrylic paint. I absolutely adore painting apples - they turn out so different everytime, even if it's the same apple (which this was). I rarely paint anything else!

 My everyday make-up - the Naked Palette by Urban Decay, which I love and use every single day I actually bother to put on my face. And Nars lip pencil in red square and Miss Sporty green mascara (I love coloured mascara), and of course MAC blush in fleur power!

Finally, here is my wall above my favourite corner - postcards and jewellery hung from a homemade storage solution by my father (he screwed eight hooks into a wooden hanger and I just hang my necklaces from them).

I've been having a very good week and I'm so excited for tomorrow - Alex and I are going to Wagamama for dinner! I've been loving Soko's album I thought I was an Alien too recently, so I thought I'd share that with you. She has the most magical voice and I love her lyrics - peaceful. I hope you've enjoyed this post, and see you soon, take care everyone!

Thanks for reading,

God bless,
