Mål Paper Daily Goal Setter Planner

Last week I received the Mål Paper Daily Goal Setter Planner. As a lifelong stationery fan I’m always excited to try out new products, especially good quality ones such as this Mål Paper planner.

The Daily Goal Setter is meant to help you reach your goals by creating action plans that are divided into short, medium and long-term timescales.

On the first few of pages you can find a guide to help you get the most out of the Daily Goal Setter, and it explains a couple of methods on how to set effective goals and how to prioritise your to-do lists.

Included in the planner are sections for long, medium and short term goals; monthly, weekly and daily view sections; and a lined and dotted notes section (all undated so you can use any page at any time). 

Also included in the Daily Goal Setter are a 2020/2021 calendar, document holder, two ribbon dividers and elastic closure. The PU leather cover with gold embossed writing and ivory 100 gsm paper makes it look and feel luxurious.

I really like the minimalist design as it allows you to concentrate on the writing that you do on the planner’s pages, however if you do like to add a bit of colour or stickers to your notes to help keep you organised this is also the perfect blank canvas for that.  

Another thing I like about the Mål Paper Daily Goal Setter is how it includes motivational quotes at the bottom of each page, as well as an area for writing things you are grateful for each day, 'daily affirmation' and 'great things that happened today' sections. So not only is the Daily Goal Setter aiding with productivity but also with positivity and motivation, which I think is great as we all can use some help to improve our mood and mental health along with keeping organised.

Find the Daily Goal Setter on the Mål Paper website. You can get 15% off your order with code BRSPECIAL15, plus free delivery on all UK orders.

It was my birthday yesterday and usually I like to get a new piece to wear on that day, this time I found a dress around March and thought it would be a nice birthday outfit so I saved it until now. I really like the look, fit and feel of this dress, it's airy, slightly fitted and the puff sleeves are very on trend at the moment - I'm obsessed. I think I'll be wearing this every time I go out for the rest of the summer ha!

Affordable Dresses at Prestarrs

 This is a sponsored post.

If you have been looking to get an affordable dress for an upcoming occasion (or even to feel fancier when working from home) you should have a look on Prestarrs, which is a website where you can buy cheap online clothes: from blouses and t-shirts to shoes and sweaters, and of course, dresses too.

I had a look at the bodycon dress section and picked out a couple of my favourite dresses: I really like the sporty vibes of the one on the left, which is their Round Neck Drawstring Patch Pocket Bodycon Dress, with its red and green stripe decorations along the slit pockets and shoulders it gives it a Gucci vibe, the drawstring adjusts it so it looks more fitted at the waist and the pockets are so practical and stylist, all while being comfortable in this casual cotton dress. 

The dress on the right (V Neck Slit Bodycon Dress) has a more formal look to it, and is also super feminine because of the colour and puff short sleeves. It frames the waist as well with the big bow that gives it the look of a sash. The sweetheart neckline is also another feminine touch, and the decorative buttons on the sleeve and neckline give it more interest. It is very fitted but the slit on the leg allows you to move more comfortably.

And I know we're in the middle of a heatwave right now but that won't stop me looking forward to the cooler autumn days and searching for some inspiration, which I've found in a couple of Prestarrs dresses, shown above: the dress on the left is the V-Neck Plain Bodycon Dress, which is knitted, fitted and features long sleeves and a v-neck, plus it sits below the knee like a midi dress, which makes it more formal and perfectly wearable in a professional setting. The dress on the right (Band Collar Plain Knitted Two-Piece Bodycon Dress & Cardigan) is very versatile as it comes with 2 pieces that you can mix and match with other items in your closet: a long sleeve, midi length button-less rib knit cardigan and a matching fitted knit dress with a mock turtleneck. The dress sits just above the knee and looks extra chic when styled with a belt. 

So there you have it, if you are looking for some cheap bodycon dresses take a look on the Prestarrs website, as they have many different styles available for any occasion and season of the year.

Hask Argan Repairing Shine Hair Oil

Hask Repairing Shine Hair Oil

A couple of weeks ago I got the Hask Repairing Shine Hair Oil from the Argan Oil from Morocco line as I had run out of my previous hair cream.

The Hask Argan Oil From Morocco Repairing Shine Hair Oil comes in 2 sizes: a 59ml bottle and a 18ml plastic vial. I opted for the latter as I wanted to try it out before committing to the full size.

This hair oil claims to be a "lightweight, alcohol-free oil which absorbs instantly to provide frizz-free shine without leaving an oily residue. Strengthens and restores frizzy, dry, damaged hair."

The formula contains besides Argan Oil, Keratin Amino-acids, Soybean Oil, Grape Seed Oil, Orange Oil and Vitamin E.

What I like about the Hask Argan Repairing Shine Hair Oil is that it is indeed lightweight and not greasy at all, it gets absorbed by the hair quite fast and makes it soft and shiny. Because my hair can get very frizz after washing, results may not be immediately visible but the next day my hair looks very smooth, still feels soft and looks shiny. 

You don't need to apply a lot of product, so this small tube will last me a while - making it really good value for money. Plus the oil has a delicious orange scent (which sadly doesn't linger) and the packaging is also great for travelling or storing in small spaces. 

If you are looking for a new leave-in hair product that makes your hair shiny, soft and smooth I would definitely recommend you try the Hask Repairing Shine Hair Oil.

Find the Hask Repairing Shine Hair Oil in Superdrug and Tesco.
