I’ve bought a few things recently from tiktok, and I thought I would share them here. *DISCLAIMER* I have listed them in my tiktok shop, so if you bought through the links, I would receive a small commission, this doesn’t affect the price for you.

I have been battling with space and storage on my phone, as it competes with videos for tiktok, and podcast episodes as well as the usual apps that munch through available space. So when I saw this camera, I thought why not give it a go.  That way when we are out walking I could give it a go, and use it in times when I don’t want to be reachable or distracted by phones.

It’s so cute, came with an SD card as well, which I didn’t expect as it was only £25.00 it’s on Amazon for £50!!  I chose Black as I prefer for both Mr Moon and I to be able to use it. But the pink and minty green are absolutely stunning. It’s mainly geared for children, so a camera for outdoor use mostly. But we will see, feels strange to hold a camera again. Available here

I swore I ordered Burgundy, but no matter this gorgeous Black arrived and it’s perfect for my whimsy goth self for Whitby Goth Weekend in October. It’s double lined, feels quiet heavy, and I LOVE it. I do want the other colours too. I bought an XL but I could have bought a smaller size. It comes to my ankles and I’m 5ft 4inches. Halloween buys are starting, and this is perfect for Witchy season. Available here Great price £17.00

I don’t usually wear smart watches, because A I’m usually allergic to the strap, B it can make you obsess over heart rate, C get obsessed with how little steps I do. So overall mentally I’m not sure smart watches are wise. But this was cheap £12.00 I chose a black again so it’s more useful for others to wear if I end up too allergic to it. I do like that I can test my oxygen levels, as well as blood pressure, and of course you can do your heart rate, workouts, meditations, play games and so much more. So shocked over how good it is for this tiny price!! Available here So far I’ve worn it for 3 days and no incessant itching and burning. But will keep an eye on it.

I have always always wanted one of these, they work as a plug in, with a usb cable, the moon is a beautiful little warm night light, while swivel the astronaut head towards the ceiling, and watch the swirls of galaxies and stars dance across the ceiling. You can have it fixed on a colour (pink and purple for me) or have it rotating through the various colours. Why didn’t they sell these things when my children were babies, this would have been perfect. Got to be the cutest thing I’ve bought. Available here

My last purchase is a phone holder, that tracks your face if you are doing videos face to face, super useful for zoom meetings. I have a static tripod for my phone for videos and photos, but this is next level!! Can’t wait to give this a go. Under £15 and so handy, I use them to even watch movies off my phone in the bath, film YouTube videos. Available here

Had a bit of a spend on Tiktok and Primark, and Shein.

I got some mandala leggings, a light floral dress, velvet vest top, some false nails and a little mirror. Hope we finally get some nice weather to wear the dress and vest top. Beltane camp will see me wearing the leggings, using the make up mirror while camping and wearing these nails too.

I top a stretchy tight sports top, perfect for hiking and camping, even has thumb holes too. Then a slouchy jumper that’s sassy. It’s pretty thin though, so better suited for spring days or summer nights.

From Primark I got bras but no one needs to see them 🤣🤣🤣🤣 and I also got a new foundation, and tinted moisturizer for summer warmer days, so it’s not a full foundation day. I also have a BB cream from earlier in the month, seeing which ones I like over different situations.

Not sure 3 items qualify as a haul, but it’s the recent things I’ve bought from TikTok. First up I needed to replace my beauty sponge, the irony that one arrives in this month’s #LookFantastic Beauty Box.

Though I confess I adore the marshmallow sponge so I was repurchasing that one. Originally #Coco By Chloe now known as #Clomana

For a Treat I also bought a #Clomana Powder Puff, it’s huge compared to other brand ones, super soft, and thick too. With using my left hand to put make up on with, and just painful hands anyways, the larger sizes make it more disabled friendly.

Next up is food, planning for our camping trip, I bought the #NakedMarshmallow Easter set as it was half price £11.00 RRP £22.00

It comes with the Burner, the Bamboo sticks and 2 Gourmet Marshmallow, 1 Creme Egg Flavour and 1 Mini Egg Flavour. I can’t wait to take these camping with us begining of may, it elevates the evening chill out under the stars to a cosy night together, with delicious sweet treats that go perfectly with hot chocolate, just before bed.

Once again I’ve found another small business that calls to me, I found her on tiktok and I saw a video of her wax melts and I was instantly sold. https://www.moonlighthomemade.co.uk/

Willow Woods Scoopie Box is Tuberose & Cashmere Woods- Fall into the comforting embrace of this gentle floral fragrance where soft nuances of bergamot and mandarin lead to a romantic white-floral bouquet of creamy tuberose and jasmine with nuances of orange flower and lily. In delicate shapes of woodland leaves and fungi.

Box of Frogs Scoopie Box is Scented with Green Tea & Bergamot – A fresh and vibrant floral green tea accord with notes of soft cool stems, bergamot, sweet rose, lily, dry leaf tea and a base of amber Are you as mad as a box of Frogs? I think I might be, as who can burn these sweet babies. Think I have made them my pets now 🤣🤣🤣🤣 far too adorable to burn, though they smell absolutely gorgeous.

Freebie is Thunderstorm, with wood sage and sea salt on top, and I don’t know how they captured a thunderstorm, but they did!! This fresh marine based scent perfectly captures that aquatic, earthy aroma that comes after a heavy downpour. With hints of citrus, leading to an excellent blend of wood, salt, spiciness and sweetness.

I’ve not bought new beauty items for so so long, I think I’ve forgotten how to girl. We have a holiday booked in October, so I decided to grab some bits to make myself feel a bit holiday special.

First up I wanted some false nails, and with spooky season coming up, I got some Gothic, Witchy, Halloweenie style nails from Shein.

Available Here I got 2 packs, as these are a great everyday shape and length.

Available Here this represents me well, I love black and pink, goth but cute too.

Available Here aren’t they cute? Scream franchise a favourite.

Available Here classic Halloween,samhain nails.

Available Here possibly my favourite ones.

Available Here simple but striking.

Available Here I bought 2 sets, I couldn’t resist!

Available Here again bought 2 sets, love the simple yet classic nature.

So that’s 11 new sets. And I absolutely LOVE them.

Next up is a whole TikTok made me buy it. I’ve always been faithful to Real Techniques Beauty Blender, but when I saw Coco by Chloe Marshmallow Sponge on TikTok I knew I had to try!

Available Here if you buy from here I would get a small comission.

Although I’ve linked it via my own tiktok shop, it’s also available here Here direct from Coco by Chloe. This sponge has been the BEST I’ve ever used, it’s so soft, bouncy, meant to be used damp. And it’s fast, a few bounces and your whole face is done, and with less product needed too, as it doesn’t sup it all up! I won’t go back to a standard sponge again, lifelong convert.

With trying to be a bit more put together, instead of constant slob status. I got myself some cluster lashes. I’m absolutely hopeless at normal lashes, so I was hoping this would be easier. I got a full kit off TikTok.

Available Here if you click to buy here I would get a small comission.

You can click the link above and I would get a small comission, or head to Amazon and buy Here. As I’m a complete newbie it wasn’t quick for me, took me well over an hour to get it right, but it’s my first attempt, and I know the technique now, so sure to get faster. Nice budget ones to practise with. Love the way you can decide to be more or less dramatic with them.

I started last week 28th July as it was a New Moon so what could be a better time to commit to movement and mindfulness. Joining in with my witchcraft friends off tiktok, we are doing 30days of yoga with Adriene the Revolution one, found on YouTube.

Now as a double hippie, and an ehlers danlos sufferer I do have to adapt all stretches to my own personal abilities. The joy of yoga is just being present and never pushing things too far, just breathe and feel comfortable in what you are doing.

I’ve been setting my alarm in the morning and I’ve got a routine of coffee and hot water bottle first, and then I do my routine. It’s before anyone else is up, and it’s just a quiet time, so I’m not distracted.

I find if I can’t do a position, I go into this or into an all fours position, so I still stretch, just definitely.

It’s definitely been a challenge to keep going, especially when I’ve had such bad period pains and sickness. So I’m proud I didn’t give up. I’m now 51 Weeks post op, and while not perfect it’s amazing how far I’ve come. It’s crazy to think I’ve been doing physio for so long and not felt any benefit or felt any progress, and here I am only 1 week after starting this, and I have seen and felt an improvement in stretches, especially Cat/Cow as my wrists really struggled at first, and in Hip Flexor stretch too. I’m a long long away from looking like Adriene doing Yoga, but for me I’m seeing an improvement. I love the time of just being present and mindful.
