Latest YouTube Videos
Hi, it's Kat, remember me? So I've been a bit MIA from this blog for a while and that's because I've been spending a lot of time over in YouTube land. As my first post back I thought I'd give you a little update on some of my latest videos and you can check out my channel here.

April 2016 Goals
Happy April Fools Day!
So March was a pretty rubbish month for me blogging wise as I only posted once. I think this is because I've really been getting into YouTube and I find it easier than blogging as I feel like I'm not very good at writing. I do really love blogging though so I want to continue with it but I'm going to reduce the amount of posts a week. I was doing three posts a week but I'm now going to do two on Monday and Friday and hopefully I can get back into blogging again.
Onto my goals for April:
Get back to blogging and post twice a week
Finish reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Finish reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Birthday Pressies 2016
Today is my birthday and I am now 26 which means I'm closer to 30 than 20. I have to say I really don't feel that old though, I still feel like a teenager.
Onto the good bit, the pressies. My two main presents this year from my parents were a freezer and some Alex drawers from Ikea to put my makeup in. I haven't got photos of these as the freezer is kinda boring and I'm not getting the drawers until this weekend.
I got a few foodie gifts, some chocolate eggs, mini choc chip cookies and Lindor Strawberries and Cream which are delicious.
I do already own some headphones which I use to Skype when I play games with my family but they are wired and my mischief kitty Fudge likes to pull them out of the computer so I wanted to get some wireless ones. I added these blue ones to my Amazon wishlist and my daddy bought them for me along with a bluetooth dongle.
My dad also got me a selfie stick which will come in handy.
My lovely cousin got me a baking recipe book so I shall be trying some of these this year.
My mum and me recently saw some new dolls in Toys'r'us and they looked so pretty and cute. They are from Ever After High and my mum got me a couple of them, Kitty Cheshire and Madeline Hatter. I love their outfits and they've got really pretty hair and faces. Once I get some shelves up in my room then I'm going to put these on display. They have so many more dolls which I want to get too.

February 2016 Goals
I skipped my January goals as I didn't want to put too much pressure on myself and I did a 2016 goals so I'm back with February's goals but first I'll re-cap on Decembers to see how I got on.
Make my flat look festive - I did this, put up a tree, hung some tinsel and put some garlands on the wall. It wasn't the best but it was better than the year before.
Upload first YouTube video - I'm so proud of myself for uploading my first video in December and since then I've uploaded two more. I missed two weeks where I had flu but I'm better now and there will be a new video Sunday.
Join at least one Twitter chat - I still failed to do this, even after writing it in my planner I always seem to miss them. One day I'll join one.
Onto February goals:
Finish reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - I started reading this book around the beginning of January and I'd really like to finish it this month so I can move onto the next one.
Print own stickers - I've bought quite a few stickers for my planner the past couple of months but they aren't cheap so I'm having to limit myself now but I thought I could have a go at making some of my own.

2016 Goals
Move into a new flat - I've been in my current flat for just over a year now but it's only a studio and I'd really like to move into a one bedroom so there's more space for me and my cats.
Buy some lighting - As the British weather can be quite crappy a lot of the time I would really like to get some lighting so I can take photos and film whatever time of day.
Save money - I'm terrible at saving money, I can't help it I just love buying stuff but this year I'm going to try my best and start saving.
Start exercising and lose weight - I really want to lose some weight and I think the only way that's going to happen is if I do some exercise as I don't eat too badly.
Upload a video every week - I just uploaded my first video to YouTube last week and I really want to keep up with it and upload at least once a week.

Christmas Pressies 2015
Hope you all had a good Christmas and today I'm going to show you what presents I received this year.
My main present from my mum this year was a Tatty Teddy slanket. I've wanted a slanket for a while as it's rather cold in my flat and it would be handy to use while I'm on the computer. We found this one is Marks & Spencer so grabbed it as I love Tatty Teddy.
My dad got me this cute kitty cushion as it looks a bit like one of my cats. He also got me the Tokidoki Kabuki Brush, Tokidoki Mirror and Tokidoki Makeup Bag. I love the Tokidoki stuff it's so cute.
My mum also got me some notebooks and coloured pens as she knows I love stationery and I will be adding these to my stationery box.

Video: Spooky Box Club October Unboxing
I uploaded my first video to YouTube! I'm so nervous and excited about it, I hope it's not too bad. I did want my first video to be a makeup look but as I've not been well the past week I haven't got round to editing it yet and I wanted to put a video up before the end of the year. So my first video is an unboxing of the Spooky Box Club for October and then hopefully my makeup video will be up next Sunday.

Sudafed Blocked Nose Spray
I have a cold and for me the most annoying part about it is having a blocked nose. A few nights ago I didn't sleep at all as I wasn't able to breathe properly. During that night I did some googling and found that nasal sprays were supposed to be quite good at helping with a blocked nose. I waited all night until my mum got up in the morning so she could take me to buy some, I got the Sudafed Blocked Nose Spray and it is amazing!
I was a bit of a baby the first time using it as I was worried it was going to feel like when you get water up your nose but surprisingly you can't really feel it much. It takes a few minutes to work and then you are able to breathe freely. The Sudafed spray lasts up to 10 hours so you can spray it about 3 times a day if needed. It doesn't get rid of a blocked nose but it helps relieve the discomfort until the cold has gone.
I've had this cold for nearly a week now and I'm really hoping it goes before Christmas Day as I want to enjoy the lovely roast dinner.
Have you tried nose sprays before?
Is there anything you use to help with a cold?

Sticker Haul #2
Here's another sticker haul, I'm totally addicted and want to buy so many but I have to control myself and just buy a few at a time.
I bought from two shops this time and the first one is PlanWithJade. I bought some stickers from her before and they were good quality so thought I'd get some more. I got a few of the sheets from her Wizard Of Oz set, the full boxes, half boxes and decorative sheet. I love the Wizard Of Oz and these look so cute, I can't wait to do a weekly spread with these.
I also got the pamper icons sheet for reminders of when I need to do my hair and wash my brushes etc. The last sheet I got is Christmas themed decorative stickers as it is that time of year, I love the cute little Rudolf.
The second shop I bought from is StickWithMe and I bought two orders from them. These stickers are definitely some of my favourites as they are really cute and eventually I will own everything from the shop.
From the first order I got a lovely Autumn themed sheet with flags and decorative stickers. I got some cute exercise icons as I'm trying to work some exercise into my week and hopefully they'll motivate me.
I wanted to get so many of their stickers but I tried to pick some practical ones first for things that I write in my planner like these cleaning and food shopping icons. I love their cute little faces. Also included was a free sampler sheet in the middle.
The next bunch of stickers I bought was on Black Friday with her sale, I just couldn't resist. As it was coming up to Christmas I got a lot of Christmas themed stickers this time. In my planner I list everything I want to do each day so I got these cute check boxes to use.
I got a couple of decorative sticker sheets as they are just so cute. One is Christmas themed and the other is just Winter themed.
The last sheet I got was this countdown to Christmas stickers and the free sampler with this order is New Year's themed which also includes a countdown.

December Goals
Let's recap on my goals for November:
Decorate my planner with stickers - I didn't do a very good job with this one, I started to do it but then I just didn't have enough stickers to do what I wanted so I've kind of put this on hold until I get some more.
Eat a bit healthier - Again I didn't do very well with this one although I think I may have eaten less sweets and cakes than last month.
Practice filming - I actually did this one, I only did one practice video but that's better than nothing. I would have tried to do more but as I've spent a lot of this month at my mums it's been difficult.
Now onto December's goals
Make my flat look festive - I did make much effort last year in my flat so this year I really want to decorate more and make it look festive. I've put my tree up already but it's looking a bit bare so I need to get some more decorations for it. If I can get my flat looking nice then I may do a post on all my decorations.
Upload first YouTube video - This is going to be a big one for me but I really want to do this by the end of the year. I've got ideas for a few videos so hopefully I can film, edit and upload them even though I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing but it will be a fun experience.
Join at least one Twitter chat - I always mean to join the #bbloggers chat on Wed and Sun but then when it comes to it I always forget so I'd like to try and join in one this month.
What are some of your goals for the month?

Wishlist: Christmas Decorations
On 1st December I plan on putting up my Christmas decorations but I'll need to buy some new ones as I won't be able to use last years as I believe it was those that made my cat Cookie ill and he kept dribbling everywhere. I will be using the same tree and hope that doesn't cause any problems but I will be buying some felt decorations to put on it. Another problem I have is that my other cat Fudge is still a kitten and likes to chew wires sometimes so I won't be able to put lights on my tree but I have found some felt ones just for decoration. All these problems having cats but I love them.
Blue Snowflake Bunting £10 / Gingerbread Man Garland £8.50 / Felt Christmas Lights £8.10 / Felt Star Ornament £6.08 / Felt Polar Bear Ornament £8.10 / Felt Reindeer Ornament £7.43 / Felt Candy Cane Ornament £3.38 / Felt Gingerbread Man Ornament £5.40

Sticker Haul #1
Recently I've been seeing a lot of YouTube videos on decorating your planner with stickers. I already have a small sticker collection and they have just been sitting in my stationery box so after seeing these videos I thought I could start decorating my planner with them. I also found a lot more stickers I want to get on Etsy so I will gradually be buying them but for now here's my first sticker haul from three Etsy stores.
The first store is PlanWithJade where I spent £10.01. I bought some blogging and social media icons for planning out my blog stuff each week. I love cute little gingerbread men so when I saw these decorative boxes I had to get them to use at Christmas time. I wanted to make my order at least £10 so I added a little kitty pen which I will be using to write in my planner.
The next store is xsugarhuix where I spent £10.64. All these stickers are just decorative, they're cute and pretty so I had to get them. I got a couple Disney princess themed sheets, a Wizard of Oz sheet, a Piggy Girl sheet and some cute kitty flake stickers.
The last store is CuteThingsFromJapan where I spent £8.59. Again these are all decorative stickers, Ariel is my favourite Disney princess so I had to get some of these stickers, I think they might have a few others which I will also need to get. I got some Halloween decorative boxes which I was going to use this Halloween but I didn't get round to it so I may save them for next year or just use them throughout the year.
Also from the same shop, they sent some freebies in a cute Halloween packet. There was a little thank you note, some flakes of stickers in a pretty envelope, some washi tape samples and a mini chocolate which was delicious.
I love all the stickers that I bought and I can not wait to buy some more from these shops so keep a look out for more sticker hauls in the future.

November Goals
First let's recap on my goals for October:
Keep to my blogging schedule - I didn't do too well on this one as I only posted 5 times in October but I had to help my mum a lot and stayed round her house a lot so didn't have access to all my stuff.
Do at least one Halloween makeup look - I managed to do this one just about, it wasn't the best but I'm happy with it.
Do some exercise once a week - I absolutely failed at this one, I just find it so hard to motivate myself to do exercise.
Read the Harry Potter books and watch the films - I only read and watched Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone so I didn't get too far with these but I'm currently reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and I'll just continue going through them.
Onto Novembers goals:
Decorate my planner with stickers - I bought some stickers last month for this and there will be a haul coming soon.
Eat a bit healthier - I've eaten so many cakes and sweets last month and I want to cut down on this and lose a bit of weight too.
Practice filming - One of my goals for this year was to start doing YouTube videos and we are now getting close to the end of the year and I still haven't done one. This month I'm going to try filming and hopefully I can get my first video up before the end of the year.
