Happiness @ Kikki. K - Avery Huia

helloooooo!

I hope you are all enjoying your day! Today's post is going to be about a Happiness Workshop that my friend and I attended at Kikki. K a few nights ago! We found out about it through the diary lovers club that they have if you own one of their diaries, and we were really excited to go! 

Kikki. K do lots of amazing workshops that cover a range of topics, like Happiness, Planning and DIY, to name a few! I really enjoyed going to it, and I will definitely be doing another one!

About 8 girls attended, and everyone received a Happiness Journal and a pen, which was part of the cost of the workshop. We worked through most pages in the journal, made lists and came up with ways that we could increase our happiness levels in our everyday lives! 

We talked about things that make us happy, as well as unhappy, and came up with ways that you can avoid being unhappy, and things to make you even happier. We had a really lovely host, and she showed us ways that she expresses her happiness, and things that she does to make her happy, using other books from the store, or making gorgeous mood boards and memory boards. 

The next day, my friend and I made a moodboard of our own in a page inside the journal, (photo below) and it was so much fun, and just looking at it makes me feel so happy. We learnt that happiness wasn't just a feeling, but a state, which made you feel like you were flourishing and growing constantly. There were some really great quotes and facts about happiness as well, one that stuck out to me was 'You can never have too much happy". Quotes like this are dotted all throughout the journal, and are all so cute!

After the workshop was over, we received a 10% off discount, and because I am a student, I got a further 10% off, so I had to go for it! The store is styled so beautifully, it is hard not to stay in there for hours, and even harder to decide what to buy, there are so many cute things!

I ended up buying a set of 12 pens, which we used to write with and I loved, some decoration tape with pretty clouds on it, and a book that I'm really excited about, which is called 'Go offline, be mindful' and I can't wait to use it; it has 135 activities that are all offline, and comes with a 30 day offline challenge, which I will start in May!

I had such a good time, they made it a really good experience, and I took a lot away from it! I will definitely be returning, and I highly recommend it!

stationery flatlays - Avery Huia

hellooooo!

I hope you are all having a lovely weekend!

Recently, I have been obsessing over stationery, with endless amounts of stops in Kikki. K, Typo and other gorgeous stationery stores. I bought a 2016 diary from Kikki. K and I love it so much and it is really helping me stay organised! My mum has a homewares store, and has recently ordered some amazing new notebooks and diaries in, and I couldn't resist taking photos of how gorgeous they look!

I have taken 3 flatlays with different stationery items, I hope you enjoy and set your eyes on some stunning new things, that would be perfect as a gift but great to use on your own.

DIY Decorating feat. Kikki K - Avery Huia

Hello there!

Today I have a decorating post, featuring Kikki K!A few weeks ago I purchased a sticker book and it is amazing and I have used it so many times! Inside, you get eight pages of stickers, plus two pages of pop out tags. The colour scheme inside it is mainly pink, purple, white and gold, so it is very girly, pretty and versatile which I love!

I have used the stickers for cards, presents, school book covers and I stuck a few diamond ones on my laptop! The stickers are paper like, and the gold ones are in foil. There are quotes, happy birthdays, congrats, hearts and like I said, diamonds. I've taken a few photos of things I have used them for, and I would suggest getting them as they are so cute and pretty and perfect!

Lots of love from Avery Huia! xxx
