We all know that moving is hard and more importantly we always forget stuff... I forgot scissors.. that became challenging! so here is a list of things we all need to help you xx
1.bin-My bin was from wilkinsons its a 10 litre and cost £8 I believe. its better to get steel and always keep the reciepts ... bins love to break!!
2.Ironing board- mines a table ironing board which makes everything easier and was £6 from bandm and so far I have no complaints at all!!
3.Iron- yep you cant have an ironing board without the iron. my iron was £4 from sainsburys. their basics section is brilliant for a cheap little household item.
4. Dustpan and brush- mine has good bristles and was purchased for £1.99 from b&m
5.Hoover- The hoover is upto you on your budget etc but I reccommend henry hoovers as they last ages. mine was £110 from argos and is a henry in blue.... I know its blue not red?!?
6.cutlery- you can spend loads but my set was £4 from sainsburys and they are good enough for me. my little bird spoons are from oliver bonas and offer a little cute bit to your cup of tea.
7. plates- this is my second lot of plates... blame george!! these ones were £12 from B&M and are sooooo good because they match my poppy thing. ps these plates are super heavy so I reccomend dont rest it on your knee in a queue of people.
8. cups and glasses- you can get them anywhere. I have some that came in the plate set and some that are old yet cute and my glasses were £2 from wilkinsons for 6 but I do not reccomened them as mine cracked after one hand wash?!
9.scissors (is that how you spell it?)- you can get anywhere often in sets... dont ask where mine are from.
10. calender- you will need one to write bills down.
11. washing machine- look around for deals mine was on offer for £200 and look at the spin speed etc. try and get one with a 14 minute wash it will save you loads of money overall.
12.cleaning products- you pick haha
13. wahsing up bowl- cheap and easy at 60p from wilkinsons.make sure it fits your sink lol
14. pots,pans and cooking- Do not purchase from matalan but get some from sainsburys as they last ages and are non stick. also on offer for a tenner at the moment.
15.kettle- my kettle was £6 from sainsburys and I have had for a year. the colours red so it matches.
so this is the end of part one hope this helps.

OOTD-August 14th
SOOOOOOO hello!
Today I am showing you three of my comfy type clothes. First is my striped jacket which you can wear around the house or out. perfect for a date night and was £15 from matalan last year. the next is a lovely top which I call my sandy from grease top as its much like her top. This is a great summer essential and I picked it up from a lady at a car boot with a huge bundle. tip go towards the end of a car boot and if you see lots of bargains say something like a fiver for this much and any seller who wants to sell all their bargains will usually say yes. finally is my new look jeans I bought in burnham on sea and I hated for two years but now they are my comfy at home jeans.. I still do not like the ends of them though. so there you go my quick little update. love soap xoxox

my new make up desk is complete!!
hi all you lovely soapies,
so I have set up my new desk and it looks lovely!!
A new youtube video on my channel will be uploaded tomorrow-Its on my channel soapso
I am so happy with it and I hope you like it comment on what you like and dislike :)
the desk was an upcycled desk that i painted using silk paint but I recommend the annie sloan chalk paint as it will give a better feel to the desk plus will last longer but you will need to wax the desk before in order to have a proper layer of paint on it.
the little draws was hand made and is my favourite item in my whole house- even more than my wardrobe which shows how much it means to me !!
the roses garland is from a shop in wellington somerset although its by sass and belle which I have to say is my favourite company for cute little bits and bobs.
the gorgeous FAKE flowers- I known they look better than fake was from sainsburys recently it was an expensive little item at £15 but is a little treat and works lovely whereever I put it. The lamp is from argos although I got it free and that my soapies is all about my desk for now,
enjoy yourselves this week.
love soap xoxo

Job Interview Advice
SOOOO HEY SOAPIES,
Thought I would do a quick blog and DBGinked said he would love a little blog on job interviews.
Heres my 5 steps to doing well....
1) Approach- When going to an interview you need to look and seem approachable. So prepare what your going to wear in advance, look smart, remember spray yourself as we all sweat in streesful or nervous situations. Wear comfortable shoes as you may need to walk around the premises.
2) Plan- When asked questions slow down and think of suitable answers. If unsure pause and think of a way round the question and answer what you feel is correct. Practice at home before the interview.
3)Rest- Either with excitement or fear its going to be hard to sleep so remember to rest in otherways. try and have a bath, cup of tea and eat a big meal. try and take naps at least as being tired is not a good approach.
4) knowledge- Know what you applied for, go online and research the company. impress the interviewer with knowledge like " I can improve on your 25 million pound business by..." it sounds like you want the job and researched it. Its more impressive than saying "umm... I could help by... hmm". Which links also back to plan, By stating something that relates to the business it gives you more time to think.
5) learn- the main thing is to learn what went well and what went a little bad and learn for next time. Everyone has different ways of approaching scenarios. For now , Good luck !

Make up desk ideas
Hey everyone , so lately I have been asked how did you have such a cute little make up desk . The answer is it wasn't easy ! For the those who have not seen go on my YouTube channel soapso and you will find a small little video on it .
The desk -
Finding a make up area is often challenging and expensive ! People often buy make up drawers from ikea and I do agree they are lovely but honestly for not much you can have a little desk of your own . My desk was my grandmothers . When she past away it was nearly chucked away and forgotten but I saw it as a little opportunity. My sister used to paint furniture and I got the idea to paint it . So I did using my mums silk paint . In all it cost very little and is a little treasure in any home . For anyone else I would recommend car boots and auctions for finding a little treasure of your own .
Good luck on making your own stamp ,
For now bye , love soapso xxxxx

My favourite fragrances August 2016
Hey all ,
So today has been a busy busy day where I did a car boot of which I'll put a little blogaty blog on at some point . Anyway as a inner girly girl I thought I'd share my favourite fragrances and fragrances I just love to have .
So here I am rummaging through my basket I first pick up my .. Charli red body fragrance . This little treasure I have had for a while . It's a good little spray if you want it to last with you all day often on offer the Charli collection is a quality buy however this one does have the problem if you spray to much you smell to much like a flower garden if you know what I mean . On the back it says for your daring side and I know why .. It's very over powering .
Next is my impulse true love which I got as a Christmas present . It's strong but perfect for protection from sweat on a first date . It says on the back it will "inspire romance "... Put it this way if you spray too much you will defo have a Romeo on your hands !
Charli enchant has now appeared in my hand . I call this my period spray which the other half thinks is weird but as a teen whenever I was on I used this fragrance. So naturally it reminds me of my younger self . This is very strong and therefore if it's a humid day it will mask any unwanted smells .
Now another Charli fragrance (if you have not noticed I used to have a thing for them when they were on offer for a £1 in morrisons ) Charli divine which was a limited edition little gem . Smelling of raspberrys and plums you will be smelling likes sweets and honestly it makes me always feel really fresh so if it's still around I would definitely recommend you look at it :)
Finally I found another different type lol - my hollister seacliff beach - this body mist lasts at least a year for me and costs £12 yet honestly worth every penny ! When I wear it I get asked what it is and I am like hollister instantly everyone is like that's too much but when you work it out that's a pound a month that you probably would spend on something you won't remember next year .
Back to another Charli next ups Charli star . It's a very lively spray which is perfect for the movies or for going out for the night as after one spray you won't smell anything then suddenly you smell all these different fragrances in a fragrance ( if that makes sense lol) . It's a little Beauty that I need to probably wear more .
My most used Charli spray is spirit purely because I think the spray is not too shocking yet gives me protection from everyday sweat . I'm not saying it will work all the time but it was definitely worth the pound I paid once for it.
If you need a little spray for your bag id recommend the nspa fresh sweet raspberry body mist . It did come in a set but it's little and will definetely spice up an outfit !
Soooooo I'm down to my last 3 ( well the last 3 I can see ) this is my top 3
At 3 is my Charli why not by Charli xcx - yes I love Charli xcx she is honestly my favourite female artist . Her creative flare is definitely brought out by this smell and all I can say is try it and you will like it .. I'm not gonna lie DBG inked has even tried it and he liked it .. So it's man approved 😂
At 2- is my zoella blissful mistful- I thought it was expensive at £8 originally but nearly 2 years on and it's still going . I use this for special little events and it was even used for both my major job interviews ( ps I got the jobs ) ... So maybe this did the magic at the interviews ;)
Drum roll... At number 1 ..... Is ...
MARC JACOBS DAISY
I still think it's over priced but I got this as a Christmas present and it's my go too . I love it to bits and honestly am so glad I had it . Once you try it you have to buy it ... Save up if you can and get the refillable set and always look elsewhere first as not all places are cheap for this fragrance .
Anyway for now good night all ,
Lots of love

Iceland adventures
Iceland has recently been stated a lot - Kim k has been and since the World Cup. Me and DBGinked from double barrel gaming went there in February and this is some little help and advice bits for you lovely lot .
Animals - do not expect tons of animals coming from rocks etc . When we were there we saw some wild ponies and a random dog walking by itself 😂 You may see more . It's more about taking in the scenery then animals .
As I mentioned the scenery is amazing and if you can go and see the golden circle it's the most amazing time ever . Remember wear suitable shoes ... My £30 walking boots from mountain warehouse were better than Georges £130 boots from go outdoors despite a man recommending it . Trust me I didn't nearly fall over at all compared to other people ... Yes it can be a bit icy in places .
This brings me to clothing . Don't spend tons like I did 😁 All you need is a thick coat ( mine was £30 one from mountain warehouse ) a jumper and I would say 3 long sleeve tops . Also some gloves and a hat that are thick and some ski trousers . That is all you need it's not that cold there it's like an English windy day ... Just constantly !
Children - children can go there and would love it . It's a great place for them to explore ... Just don't be naughty or Father Christmas won't come on the 24 days of Christmas they have there !
Dream place to be ? - lots of People say this and I think it is but as I heard from all the people who speak excellent English and are from Iceland they wish they could go away a lot as it's always snowy there . The people themselves are so friendly which means you have to be very nice to them and honestly say thank you for everything they appreciate it a lot.
There's so much to do there and so much to see for pics find me on YouTube at soapso and look at my pictures .
If you go there good luck and enjoy it :) ,
Love soapso

Hamsters - are they right for you?
Hamsters - sure enough pretty much all my friends have had or got a hamster . So I assumed they were easy to keep and great first pets. They are but I am gonna help you decide whether to get some or not.
Are they easy to keep ?-
When I got mine I was shocked .. Did you know there is loads of species ? For instance Syrian hamsters can not live together or they will kill each other ?!? After talking to two seperate pet shop people I decided to have the robo species . They are small and by far the most adorable type - I know I am biased. These hamsters are very lively though and I would not recommend you have them if you have kids because they jump ! They jump like their sky diving and honestly sometimes it terrifies me . Also they do like to be awake from 6pm till 8 am or till sometimes till 2pm ( they like their raves on their wheel ) . This may bother some people but if you keep them somewhere you can't hear them they are not that load . Mine stay in the dinning room area .
Where can I buy ?-
All good pet shops should have hamsters and if your unsure on what to have for them ask them . That's what they are there for. However I'd recommend from past problems don't buy a dosile animal ... You are basically buying a dead animal. Make sure you have a cage - mine was £30 . I wouldn't get a complete metal one as their feet can get stuck ( you do not want a sad little hamster) so get a plastic lidded one . Also a wheel is necessary . Some bedding .. Bedding types is upto you but be careful because even though the bedding says OFFER £2.00 on it it does not mean it's good for their health as some make them poorly . Bottles for water and a bowl for food and a hide is all needed plus add some comfy features for them like tissue pads ( don't know the name ) to help them burrow and a simple boredom breaker a toilet roll piece of cardboard .
Are they expensive ?-
No .okay the outlay for a proper nice cage and area for them may cost you £50 but it's cheaper than a dog . They will live less unfortunately but they make good pets and are perfect to look after . Plus unlike dogs you can put them in an exercise ball and they can exercise themselves . I feel it depends on what you want for them but for me they are perfect little companions .
If you have any please comment . Hope you like this post lots of love ,
Soapso Xoxox and knuckles and hedgy the robo hamsters xx
