I dropped them an email and they have kindly sponsored me by sending me some brand new marker goodies to use on my upcoming projects! They totally spoilt me and I can't thank them enough! 

I couldn't believe my eyes when I opened my Graphicsdirect.co.uk package as they had included the Windsor & Newton Student designer marker set which I've had my eye on for ages!! 

This set is just incredible not only for its shade range but also the handy carry case included in the set which acts as a pen stand is just...AMAZING! It's currently available on their website for only £37.93 reduced from £49.99!! Which for those of you who know how expensive individual markers are to buy at £2.50 a pop...this works out at £1.58 each. Bargain! 

This set has a beautiful selection of brights, neon's and a few pastels which for me was perfect as my marker collection so far surprisingly lacks bright shades.

The back of the case also has a pocket for extra pens or erasers OR a place to store your shade swatch cards, which is what I'm using mine for.

Graphics Direct also included one of their A4 marker pads which makes such a huge difference to my illustrations.  The clarity and the fact that it's bleed proof makes my job a lot easier when it comes to heavy shading. Other artist pads tend to flake and peel on me when they get saturated in colour whereas this pad doesn't at all. It's such good quality. The only downside to this type of pad for me is that I can't keep all of my illustrations together once I've finished a page as it's not staple or ring bound which I prefer. But that's personal preference not a negative of graphics direct. 

The prices on Graphicsdirect.co.uk really cater to students and freelancers as quality pads and markers rarely come cheap. Their A4 pads are only £2.88 Inc vat which is so so affordable for the excellent quality of the bleed proof paper. 

They also specialise in kits for all different further education courses. These range from architect kits, graphic design kits and even Art Foundation course kits which would have come in so handy when I purchased supplies for my course. To have the kit all ready and available to purchase from one store at a super affordable price is such a great reason to purchase from Graphicsdirect.co.uk

The chocolates inside this beautifully packaged box are seriously the most luxurious chocolates out there and I promise your other half will be smitten with this gift..and you of course! You get 24 chocolates inside each box, the perfect amount to share...if you want to!



You can choose from Earnings, Necklace or a Ring and also leave any preferences like style, fav colours etc in the order box on their website. The quality of the jewelry is so nice and not cheap at all! Although the earnings in this box were valued at £20 they look so much more expensive. They are 925 sterling silver so don't make your ears green or itchy which is always a plus as I find most earnings do. You can feel just by the weight alone that the jewelry quality is fantastic!

As some of you may know by now I've been uploading daily vlogs on my youtube channel all throughout September which I've been calling Vlogtember. I've kind of changed up the format a little though to fit around my non existent schedule so Instead of uploading everyday, I'm filming everyday and then uploading as soon as I can. So its not the typical vlogtember/vlogust situation. 

Ive really enjoyed the whole filming and editing process and also its been made so much easier by having my new galaxy s6. I can finally film and edit all on my phone and even export and upload within less than 10 minutes. If your familiar with exporting footage this process normally takes me like 3-4 hours on my desktop computer so its a massive bonus being able to edit and export in my phone.  Its also incredibly easy by editing on an app called cyber-link power director. I did have to pay around £3 for an upgrade so that i can export in 1080p quality but thats so inexpensive its totally worth it. 

Ive linked my Vlogtember Playlist below for you to check out if you like :) Its so random as everyday is so unpredictable and some days there wasn't a whole load going on but that's everyday vlogging for you keeping it real. I hope you enjoy my Vlogtember episodes and be sure to let me know in the comments that you came from my blog x
