Feeling Festive...

Is anybody else feeling really festive this year? Because I definitely am...

First up, I will apologise for not finishing Blogtober. I lasted until day 24 (which was better than I ever thought I'd do!) but I unfortunately did fail miserably a week before it ended. But I am back now!!

I don't know what it is this year, but I am feeling festive like no other this year. I always get into the Christmas spirit very early, but this year I literally cannot wait. I love everything to do with the autumn/winter seasons especially Christmas. Another reason why I think I love Christmas is because I am away from home at university so I know as soon as I finish this term, I am home for three weeks with my family and friends having lots of fun and happy times! I am excited to start my Yankee Candle advent calendar this year too, because I have only ever had the chocolate advent calendars (Cadbury’s wins every time), so that is something else new to look forward to! I can’t wait to go Christmas shopping, to the Christmas markets, ice skating, hot chocolates and candle lit lush baths all the time. My heaven! I love spending time with the family over Christmas when everyone is together. Putting the Christmas decorations up, winter walks with my dog and big scarves. I currently have my Yankee Candle in Christmas Cookie burning also!

I hope you are all looking forward to the Christmas season and maybe even getting excited already like me too! I’m going to go and watch The Holiday now – one of my favourites for this time of year!

Lots of love, Em x

Autumn Red | Blogtober Day 19

When I was doing my food shopping last week, I was having a little snoop around the make up section and there was a Maybelline stand and straight away my eyes were drawn to this gorgeous red. It is one of the Maybelline Color Show nail varnishes in the colour 352 Downtown Red. Please excuse the state of my nails as I had just taken off my false ones that I had on for a good while so they are a mess, and also only one coat has been applied. I think it is just such a lovely autumn/winter red and I love wearing red nails at this time of year. I can see right now that I will be wearing this nail varnish a lot throughout the next couple of months!

Autumn | Blogtober Day 6

Autumn... where do I begin? Such a gorgeous season. I thought I would share with you some of the things I absolutely love about Autumn.

I love it when the leaves start to fall off the trees once they have turned the orangey-brown colour and crunch under your shoes. When you can take long, hot, relaxing baths every night with a different festive scented bomb thrown in. Drinking hot chocolates every chance you get because let's face it, nothing beats a good hot chocolate when you're cosied up on the couch when the dark night has fallen. Wrapping up and putting layers on - a must. Shopping around when all the shops have got their autumnal collection in with all the jumpers, coats, hats and scarves. Lots of candles lit for a nice cosy feeling. Carving pumpkins and putting your little tea lights inside for a glow on the fireplace. Getting far too excited for the Christmas season approaching meaning Christmas shopping, Christmas markets and ice skating.

I could literally go on forever about the things I love about this time of year, but we would be here a very long time and I am too excited to run myself a bath and jump in with one of my Lush bath bombs - haul coming tomorrow.

Is there anything you love about the autumn season that you are already doing or can't wait for>
