it's that time again: my march review

Although it is April Fool's Day today, I assure you that this post is no joke!

This month, my happiness mini-project was to work hard but also ask for help if I needed it.

For my first goal, I decided to start revising some stuff from my degree and also learn some anatomy in preparation for September. I want as much of a head start as I can get and what better time to start learning than now? No time like the present, as they say.

The second part of my goal was achieved when I had to ask my mum for help with some anatomy I was learning. There are a lot of weird names given to bones and whatnot and so, her help has been invaluable. Next month, the goal is to have more energy and to exercise more. The main aims are to sleep earlier and wake earlier, and also to do twenty minutes of exercise a day (even if it is just walking).

Anyway, here is the second half of this post where I review some essential items from the month of March. I have tried to choose new and different items each month and this is why, sometimes, these posts can be quite random (but that's why I still do them - a bit of randomness is good)!

1) Duck Door Stop

The doors in this house are very heavy and self-closing and having a cute door-stop can be a nice touch to an item that can be quite boring and bog-standard like these door stoppers. This one was actually from Sainsbury's, though I have seen some cute chicken ones in my local TK Maxx.

2) A Warm Scarf!

I alternated between two scarves (well, one is technically a snood) but this is the one scarf I keep coming back to, time and time again when the weather is mild. My sister got it in Spain when she was there for a brief holiday (random place to buy a scarf, I know) and it is literally my neck warmer of choice. It is super long, so can be wrapped around twice with ease, and it has a cute pattern to it too.

3) Compression Leggings and Other Base Layer Clothing!

I started netball again at the end of February and with outdoor training sessions every other week, I knew I needed to crack out the compression and base layer gear I had. These Under Armour Compression leggings came in super handy, and the awesome thing about them is that they are long enough for me! Sometimes, I have trouble finding leggings long enough but these are perfect in length. In fact, they would be fine on someone a bit taller than me too!

Not only do they fit well, they have kept me warm on cold nights and long gone are the days where I end up peeling off a sweaty layer after a training session as these leggings claim to keep you warm and dry - and I'm not arguing with this claim! I used to wear normal high-street leggings but after wearing these... well, never again! They are just awesome.

NB: I paid for these leggings myself and this is just an honest review from a very happy customer.

How was March for you?
