Anyway, John Lewis got in touch recently because Black Friday is fast approaching (don't even get me started on where the year has gone again). They asked me to put together a list of things I would be all over if they were in the sale, and because I needed to take my mind of things here are a few things I have my eye on and will probably buy very soon, sale or no sale. But sale would be nice, let's be honest.
Hourglass Palette.
I know this isn't the best value for money product wise, and honestly the price tag does make my eyes water just a little, but I feel like it should be accompanied with some dramatic music as the lid opens. Palettes haven't interested me much before, I was all about accumulating lots of single things (why? I have no idea!), but I'm now beginning to see the value in a really good palette. And they're surprisingly difficult to come by. Maybe the perfect palette is tricky to get right!
A Nice Pair Of Headphones.
My cheapy headphones broke recently and it was only then that I realised that I've never had a nice pair of headphones. I go through phases of either wanting to go outside and experience all the hustle and bustle of everyday life or go outside and drown everyday life out with a good song or podcast, and I'm definitely in the latter phase right now.
A Keyboard.
All the things I can't do, or once tried to do but gave up on along the way, have been occupying my thoughts a lot of late. Many years ago I took piano lessons at school, and I have to confess it was mostly because it meant I got to miss a maths lesson every week. Maths wasn't my favourite. When it became apparent to eight year old me that I was not an undiscovered musical genius, much to my disappointment, I quickly formed a hatred for my piano lessons on a par with my hatred for maths. But I'm now giving it another go and as much as I would love a piano, I think a keyboard might be the way to go first. Although I have no intentions of giving up this time... I'm going with the keyboard just in case.
A Graphic Tablet.
Not necessarily for any particular reason, I've just found myself fancying being able to have a bit of a doodle and see what comes of it.
Is there anything you would love to see in a Black Friday sale?

A keyboard is a really good way to feel out if you want to commit to piano. Also, there's something soothing about tinkering around on one.
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better, whatever you're going through x
Gorgeous headphones! I never used to be a headphones, or a listen-to-music-on-the-go type of person but I bought some good ones for my frequent train journeys up and down the country and it is so worth investing in a good pair. The graphics tablet looks like fun too! I'm not sure what I'd do with one but I've always wanted to try it out xx

I looove my tablet for when I get into my drawing moods. They're so handy. I'm also eyeballing that Hourglass palette but the price feels like a punch to the face!

The headphones are so pretty! There is so much I'd love to see in the Black Friday Sale, but I would definitely not brave the crowds in shopping centres for it!xx
ReplyDeleteThose headphones are adorable! My sister has a pair of those, and I've been seeing them here and there in different colors. Hahaha, math isn't my favorite either, and I'd do anything to skip out on a lesson!

I think I'd enjoy messing around on a graphics tablet to see if I can produce anything half decent! I hope you feel better and more on top of things soon xx

I flinched when I bought the Hourglass palette but honestly, it's so insanely beautiful! The film music plays, albeit inwards, every time I open it. It's so convenient also!
ReplyDeleteHeadphones are so cool nowadays. I always see people on the train with different, stylish headphones and if my head weren't so big I'd try to find a pair myself.
I hope you're doing all right!
