Since starting my blog , one of the things I read time and time again is that it is important to let people get to know you through your blog. One of the ways I feel I have gained an insight into other people and their lives is through their " whats in my......" series. Maybe I am just a bit nosey, but I love these posts!! So I thought I would start a regular " Whats's in my....." series until I run out of ideas!
What's on my bedside table?
I saw this post on Honey's Mummy and thought I would share whats on mine. Partly because I have been there - with a young baby or child, when all your bedside table has room for is a collection of books to do with babys and baby routines, breast pads and pumps, a monitor, wet wipes, sudacrem, the odd bottle of calpol etc ( remember those days??!) Now, although my table still has the odd night where it regresses to this state - particularly if my youngest is sick, I do feel I have regained something of my pre baby days. Having had a quick tidy up my bedside table looks like this :
1. A sturdy clock radio with ipod ( set to loud to make sure I get wake up.)
2. Bath House Hand Cream - a birthday present from my husband
3. Lip balm by Island apothecary
4. L'Occitane hydration creme from my June Joilebox.
5. Candle from the White Company
6. Cup of tea
7. Pictures of my children
8. Nail File from Joliebox
9. Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair

On the floor next to my bed is more revealing!
I did mention I was a magazine junkie didn't I ?!!Copies of Red, Vogue, Easy Living, Elle and Glamour magazines, a few books on style and fashion and kids discipline, and also usually my ipad for sleepless nights.
This is cool! I love peeps into bloggers homes or closets, etc...
ReplyDeleteMy bedside table looks quite a bit like yours but smaller. I don't have room for an ipod player but sure wish I did. My lamp is really too large for the nightstand.
Hmmmmm, I'm wondering just what's inside that drawer you're not showing us. ;)
Good point !! I should post that too - def more messy - nail varnishes,books, hairbands, batteries and a head torch ( don't know what thats for!) - thats what I can see anyway - need to have a sort out : ( Xx
DeleteI'm still redecorating so I have none at the moment! My magazines and books are piled on the floor! I really have to finish the room soon:) Yours looks great!

Thank you! Half the room is finished - still have some furniture to paint and then it's done! Takes so long with kids around....X
DeleteWhat a great idea.
ReplyDeleteMy bedside table has a pile of half-read books, a kindle, my notebook, pen and my blackberry which I use as an alarm.
Just started getting back into reading again - any good recommendations? XX
DeleteHi there
ReplyDeleteThis is a very clever idea ! We have just one locker and on it is a lamp and a retro looking radio and alarm and normally a book or two ..

Sounds lovely and minimalistic - l start like that , but then I add clutter! Any good book recommendations? XX
DeleteEvery night I have a tone of things in front of my bed, next to it but in the morning, everything goes away.
ReplyDeleteWish my bedside table was so tidy(it'll be a while before I'm able to do this type of post!) It is just a table - think I need some deep drawers like yours to hide my clutter! I do have the customary pile of mags next to bed as well though! x
ReplyDeleteI have a big cupboard for my clutter - She has one too - my friend calls it "The cupboard of crap!" . Everyone should have one! X
