UNIVERSITY FLAT #MyiQLife

Hello everybody!

For those of you who don't know, I am starting to study English Language at York St John University. I moved into my accommodation a few weeks ago and thought I'd share a few pictures of what everything looks like in the flat. I have changed things round slightly since these photos were taken, but you get the general picture. I will link all products, but if you have any more questions, don't hesitate to comment or send me a message on Instagram.


 My bed is a double, you can't see my sheets but they are from Studio, as well as the duvet cover (which I can't find on the website!) The yellow cushion was from Primark, the bee cushion was from Amazon and the bee happy cushion was from Next, but I believe it is now discontinued.


 This is my desk area. My printer is the HP Envy 4500 (the post-it note on the printer is there to remind me which way photo paper needs to be put in!) My coasters and water bottle were from Sass & Belle, the mirror was from B&M. My desk lamp was one that my grandparents had spare. The photo frames were from Next, as well as the wine glasses. My clock was from New Look and the storage baskets were from Amazon. I'll leave a list of the other bits and bobs in my shelving unit below the pictures.


I'm not going to show pictures of my bathroom because it's just a standard bathroom and there's nothing much to show. I won't show the kitchen either because that's a communal space and is just a kitchen. I'll leave a link to the IQ website here so if you're really nosy you can see what the kitchen and bathrooms look like.

Thank you for reading and I hope you have a great weekend!

WHAT TO BUY FOR YOUR UNI FLAT (Bathroom Edition)

Hello and welcome to the bathroom edition of 'what to buy for your uni flat'! This will be the shortest blog as there isn't a huge amount of things you can buy for a small ensuite bathroom.


This bathmat is from Studio and it was reduced from £19.99 to £5.99. I'm going for a grey and yellow theme in my bedroom and bathroom, but this mat is available in different colours.



 I got the small mirror from B&M for £4.99 but I think this will go on my desk in my bedroom instead of my bathroom, I'm not too sure yet. It has two magnifications. I got these butterfly glasses for my birthday so I'm not sure where they're from. These flannels came in a set from Studio (mentioned below).


Studio have 8-piece towel sets reduced from £24.99 to £6.60. They include x2 face towels, x2 guest towels, x2 hand towels and x2 bath towels. I got two sets, one in silver and one in slate. These towels are an absolute bargain and are really good quality too.



My granny got me some Palmolive Aquarium soap because when I was younger I used to love it and made my mum cut out the fish in the middle. I had a huge collection of those fish and used to blu tack them to the walls. Ahh nostalgia.


I got a Metaltex Rolling Cart to put my toiletries and cleaning stuff on to keep them organised. This was from Amazon but many places do similar products.
 Cleaning Products:
  • Flash Bathroom Cleaner- Tesco
  • Tesco Lime Toilet Cleaner- Tesco
  • Bleach- Tesco

Other things I recommend:
  • Loo Roll 
  • Toothpaste/Toothbrush (& charger if it's electric)
  • Shampoo/Conditioner
  • Shower Gel
  • Baby Wipes
  • Toilet Brush
  • Painkillers
  • Sanitary Products
