my week #102

First of all, happy mothering Sunday to all mothers out there. My sister and I are taking my mum out for lunch today :)

Exam week which is synonymous with 'procrastination week' if you're me. I've been revising at the end of each week so I really struggled to stay motivated for these last few days of revision. I've moved back into my Smythson binder as I've missed the bright pink leather and gold rings.

Recently, I've found the stress has caused my skin to break out and I've started using a cream by La Roche-Posay called Effaclar Duo [+]. This cream has had rave reviews on quite a number of blogs so I thought I'd give it a go and with the cream promising effects within six weeks of use, we'll see if it delivers on its promise. It's hard to tell with beauty products as I find that scars and blemishes can often take the same amount of time to heal, with or without application of a product. 

I've noticed that my diary pages are a lot less 'decorative' and a lot more functional now and I much prefer this. I still add a few illustrative bits and stickers/washi tape but I think it looks a lot less over the top now.

How has your week been?
