Aloha! How on earth are we into November already?! Less than 8 weeks until Christmas!

I thought it would be fun to start doing my monthly favourites post again, since I've actually managed to blog a bit more lately, so here's what I've been obsessed with in October!

Food: I am still completely obsessed with Mexican food! I made this chipotle lamb stew at the weekend for Mikey and I's anniversary dinner. It was so tasty!

TV Show: It's gotta be Downton Abbey! I am so gutted it's gonna be over soon! I am likely gonna miss the final episode as we'll be in Dublin this weekend, but hopefully I can get some wifi to watch it on my iPad! I will be crying like a baby no doubt! They better not kill any of the characters I like!

Song: At the moment, it's Adele's new song, Hello. I'm also loving Beyonce & Naughty Boy's Runnin.

Beauty Product: Benefit Porefessional. It's made such a difference to my skin. As someone who suffers with both dry and oily patches, it really is a must have for an even application of foundation.

Candle: At the moment, I've had Yankee Candle Cinnamon Stix burning almost every night! It's all about the festive candles now!

Event: October has been rather quiet for us but 2 things I've enjoyed were visiting some potential wedding venues, and our anniversary on 31st October which we spent watching TV, eating Mexican food and drinking beers!

That's all for October, now the countdown to christmas begins!

Life Lately

Aloha! Time has passed by so quickly these last few months and I've been a terrible blogger, posting zero new posts! But I'm back, and I'd just like to say a huge thanks to everyone who has continued reading my posts, even although there have been no new ones! 

I thought I'd do a little catch up post to get back into the swing of things, so here's what I've been up to lately!

1 - I've been having hours of fun playing around with the new snapchat update. Sad I know. If you don't already follow me, you can add me on katiemccann92 for lots of selfies and food snaps.

2 - We had a pretty freakishly hot September here in Scotland. This meant lots of lunches outdoors which I love. My work is behind a church and I really enjoy sitting in the Church grounds with my lunch and a magazine. It's really peaceful and relaxing, especially when my work is so manic! 

3 - I decided to go back to brunette! I was getting bored of being blonde, and my hair grows so fast that the upkeep was becoming unmanageable. I was having to go to the hairdressers every 4 weeks, which is not good for my bank balance, not to mention my hair! 

4, 5 & 6 - I've been wedding planning like mad! We had our first venue viewing at the end of August, and hopefully another one this weekend. I've been practicing my macaroon baking, just in case I decide to bake my own macaroon tower cake (unlikely). And I've bought every wedding magazine out there in! I just can't help it!

So that has been about it since I last blogged!

Hopefully it won't be so long until next my post! 

Have a great week!

Bye June // Hello July

Aloha! June was a long, tiring and very busy month for me! So much has happened, and there are still some exciting things to come! So here is my monthly summary!

Right at the start of the month, we got the keys to our new flat! We've moved just outside Edinburgh as we can get more space for our money, and so far it's been great! Look out for some homeware posts as I spend some of the vouchers we got as engagement presents! 

The second weekend in June was the local racecourse's ladies day. I'd never been before and my mum and auntie have been talking about going for years! So this year we decided to get tickets! It was a good day out, despite it being possibly the coldest June day ever! This photo was taken in the limo (fancy, I know) as we dropped my auntie off. This is my little cousin Riley :) 

Then, I found out I'll be graduating with a 2:1 in law next week! Woohoo! I can't believe uni is actually over! It's been a long, but rewarding 4 years! 

Then I finished off the month doing what I do best...drinking cocktails! 

And now it is July! This month has some more exciting things in store, namely my birthday! As well as graduation, and some other big changes!
