Aloha! It's been a while since I did a monthly favourites post (October to be precise), and I had great intentions of bring it back this year so here is what I have been loving in February! (Let's just pretend I didn't miss January!)

Food: I don't think I'm ever going to get sick of Mexican food! I bought an awesome Mexican and South American cookbook in a bargain bookstore after Christmas and I've been having a great time trying out some of the recipes at weekends.  

TV Show: I've just finished watching season 3 of Orange is the New Black (hurry up season 4!), but apart from that I've also been watching Love & Better Call Saul! Gotta love a Netflix original!

Song: Coldplay - Hymn for the Weekend. 

Beauty Product: At the moment, it's Biore's Charcoal Facial Cleanser. My skin has been really bad lately so it has been helping reduce blemishes and keep my skin soft!

Candle: Yankee Candle Coconut Collection No 6. This one is coconut and pineapple scented and smells just like Malibu and Pineapple. I'm starting to swing towards the summer scents now!

Event: February has been quite quiet but I had a nice night out with the girls from work in the middle of the month. Of course, Valentines Day was also fun! We didn't go out but had a really tasty Chinese takeaway instead!

Now we are into March and the countdown to Summer is on!

Home | Yankee Candle Spring 2016

Aloha! Back in July 2015 I did a post about the 2016 Yankee Candle releases and the first collection, My Serenity, has just hit the shelves in the last few weeks! Of course this meant I had to get my hands on them to try out, so I did just that!

Moonlight - A subtle blend of bamboo, woody notes and bergamot - as intoxicating as moonlight on the water

This is not the type of scent I usually go for as it's quite musky and smells a bit like men's aftershave but it's still quite nice. Not my favourite, but I didn't expect it to be. 

My Serenity - The definition of calm - warm pear and orange mingle with tropical flowers and soft musk

This one surprised me as I thought it was very nice on cold sniff, but it gave me a bit of a headache when it was burning so I had to blow it out! :( 

Lemongrass & Ginger - A fresh, clean mixture of gentle lemongrass and just-cut ginger - pure invigoration

I thought I would hate this one, mainly because I can't stand the smell of ginger, but to my surprise, it's actually my second favourite from this collection. The lemongrass is much more prominent than the ginger so it's smells lovely and fresh - just what you want for Spring!

Peony - The rich scent of Spring's most coveted bloom - the peony - entices with notes of bright sweetness

As expected, Peony is my favourite from this collection! Perfect if you want to pretend you have peonies in your house all year round like me! 

Now to count down until the next collection is released in April!

You can have a sneak peak at what's still to come here!

Blogmas Day 4 | My Favourite Festive Fragrances

Aloha! There is nothing I love more than a good candle, especially at this time of year. So today I thought I would do a little post all about my favourite festive fragrances!

This post is a little bit biased, as it seems to feature 90% Yankee Candles, but we all love a good Yankee don't we?

1 - Fireside Treats by Yankee Candle: Technically not just a festive candle as it falls under the "food & spice" category. This one smells like toasted marshmallows, one of my absolute favourite treats!

2 - Candy Cane Lane by Yankee Candle: This one smells like peppermint candy canes. Sugary, festive goodness in a candle.

3 - Italian Christmas Biscotti by Yankee Candle: Part of the World Journey's range, this one smells exactly like it's name, buttery biscotti with a hint of spice. Not one you want to burn when you are hungry though!

4 - Christmas Garland by Yankee Candle: This one is as close to the smell of real christmas trees that I have been able to find. I had this one lit a lot last year, and I'm sure it will be the same this year!

5 - Christmas Eve by Yankee Candle: I'm not sure how to describe this one, but the smell does remind me of Christmas Eve. I like to save this one to burn just on Christmas Eve, whilst enjoy a hot cup of cocoa!

6 - Cosy by the Fire by Yankee Candle: This one is new for 2015 and smells like cinnamon and hot toddies! 

7 - Cinammon Bun by Village Candle: One that is not a Yankee! Cinammon is a scent that definitely reminds me of Christmas a lot, and this one is super strong and sweet! Another one you shouldn't burn whilst hungry!

8 - Snow in Love by Yankee Candle: This one is lovely. It smells kinda creamy with a sharp wintery freshness.

9 - Bundle Up by Yankee Candle: Another new one for 2015, this one smells like fresh linen that has been out in the cold after being washed with a citrus scented washing powder! Lovely, crisp fragrance!

So that is my list of my favourite festive fragrances. I'm sure I'll discover more the closer to Christmas we get as well!

What's your favourite festive fragrance?

Alternative Advent

Aloha! As we are nearing that time of year again (where has this year gone?!), I thought I'd do a little post on the alternative advent calendars if chocolate is not for you, or if you fancy something different this year.

So here is my pick of the best alternative advent calendars!

Yankee Candle Carousel - £31.99

If like me you are obsessed with scented candles, then this is the one for you. There are lots of different scented tea lights behind each door, as well as 4 votives in the new season fragrances (berry trifle, bundle up, cosy by the fire & winter glow). It is quite pricey, but surely worth it for any yankee candle lover.

Lush 12 days of Christmas - £49.95

Now this one doesn't actually have enough windows to begin opening on the 1st December, but it was so cool I had to include it! Featuring favourites like the comforter shower gel, butterbear, and cinders, this is one I'd love to get my hands on! 

English Tea Shop - £11.20

If you love a good brew then this is one for you. Each box contains a different christmas themed tea bag, including Gingerbread Man & Candy Cane.

Bomb Cosmetics - £24.99

I like this one, it has the look of a traditional advent calendar, but it contains little soaps and bath bombs. Bomb cosmetics are a really good brand too with lots of lovely different scents so I'd imagine this one will be a (christmas) cracker *bad-um-ch*

Benefit - £34.50

This is out of stock online but it might still be available in stores. Again it only covers 12 days, but when it contains products such as Porefessional, They're Real Mascara, and Lollitint, who could complain?!

Make-up Revolution - £45

Another beauty calendar, but containing 24 full sized cosmetics, this one is pretty good value! And revolution's cosmetics are always really good quality so you can't really go wrong.

L'Occitane - £39

Again, this one has sold out online, but it might still be available in stores. I really love this one. It is super cute and I love all the products you get in it. And you know they are going to be excellent quality, and smell amazing! 

So that is my pick of my favourite alternative advent calendars for this year! 

Have you purchased an alternative advent or will you be sticking to chocolate?

Recent Homeware Purchases

Aloha! As you will know, I've recently moved into a new house, which can only mean one thing...homeware shopping!!

Here is some of my recent purchases!

Clock - £3.99 B&M

We needed a kitchen clock, and as I have a coffee addiction, this one really appealed to me. And for a bargain £3.99, I can't complain!

Letter Holder - £3.99 B&M

Another B&M purchase. I've always got mail lying about my house so I decided I needed somewhere to keep it all together!

Storage basket - £3.99 B&M

Cookbook Stand - £2.49 Home Bargains

I'm using this storage basket to store all my yankee candle wax tarts in. They were in a glass jar before but I've ended up with so many that I was running out of room!

I was in desperate need of a cook book stand too. Thankfully I'm no longer having to prop my books up against the wall!

Yankee BlackCat Jar Holder - £12.99

Yankee BlackCat Jar Clinger - £2.99 

Granny Smith Yankee Candle - £19.99

Of course, I had to get a few home treats from Yankee Candle. The 2 black cat items were the 2 I was needing to complete the collection. I already have the burner and the tea light holder.

So that's everything I've bought so far. I'm sure there will be plenty more to come!

New Yankee Candles

Aloha! The start of April saw the launch of 5 new Yankee Candle scents! Of course, I had to rush out and buy them to try as soon as they hit my local store! I only got the tarts of course, because 5 large jars would be a bit excessive!

Wild Sea Grass - This one is difficult to describe but Yankee say it smells of grass and sand! It is a lovely fresh scent for summer!

Beach Holiday - This one I love! It smells like fabric softener and the seaside! I love it! 

Pain au Raisin - This one is the first in the new cafe culture range. It smells like cinnamon, vanilla and a little bit of rum! Haha! 

Tarte Tatin - This one is also gorgeous. Smells just like apple strudel! Yummy! 

Cappuccino Truffle - This is probably my favourite one! It smells like coffee and chocolate, my 2 favourite things!! I'm actually burning this one as I write this and it's filled my front room with a lovely chocolately goodness! Yum! 

If you haven't tried these yet, you definitely need to!

My Favourite Things: February

Aloha! Here is my little list of my favourite things from February! 

Food: I've enjoyed a few different things this month. I made a pretty amazing pot of chilli which was just delicious. I doubt I'll be able to replicate it though haha! I've also been loving anything Mexican! I think I'm getting excited for my holiday to Mexico in just 11 weeks time! Countdown is on!

TV Show: I re-signed up to Netflix this month so I've been watching lots of stuff on there! My 2 favourites at the moment are Better Call Saul and The Good Wife. 

Song: This is always a tough one! I think I'd say FourFiveSeconds by Rihanna, Kanye West & Paul McCartney. Such a strange combination of artists but it really works. If you haven't heard it yet, go look it up on youtube.

Beauty Product: I've recently changed shampoo brand to Aussie and it's great! It leaves my hair smelling amazing for ages which is something I've never had with any other shampoo brand!

Candle: In case you hadn't guessed by the picture above, it's gotta be both Jelly Beans & Bunny Cake from Yankee Candle. I got these as a gift from the other half after I was unsuccessful in getting a promotion at work (I have been offered a different job though so it's not all bad). These are from the easter range and they both smell amazing! 

Event: Yet again, nothing much has happened this month, however I would say going to London for the weekend has been my favourite event from this month! We had a lovely time and enjoyed sampling some of the cool bars and restaurants! 

xx

Yankee Candle // Easter

Aloha! If you read my Yankee Candle: Coming Soon post, you will have seen I mentioned that there were some exciting scents being released for Easter this year! This weekend I was browsing my local store and noticed they were in stock! My other half was kind enough to treat me to them, and I have to say they are amazing! 

Bunny Cake: I was immediately attracted to this one as it is my favourite shade of pink! It is super sweet and smells like vanilla, coconut and citrus!

Jelly Beans: This takes me right back to my childhood! It smells exactly like jelly beans (before they removed all the artificial colours and flavours). This is a new favourite of mine! 

I haven't seen these available online yet, but if you are near a Yankee Store, pop your head in to see if they are available yet! Hurry, these were on a 2 for £30 offer which is a real bargain! 

xx

My favourite things: January

Aloha! So the first month of 2015 is over already! I have a feeling this year is going to fly in just as quickly as the last few! I have decided to change my monthly roundup posts slightly, and this is what I've come up with! Hope you enjoy reading these as much as the old format! 

Here are a few of my favourite things from January

*cue sound of music sing a long*

Food: I would love to write chocolate here but I'm supposed to be on a diet! I've been making a pretty awesome chicken pie whilst dieting. It's so good, I think I've had it every week! You can find the recipe here. 

TV Show: I've just started watching Fortitude on Sky Atlantic. It only started last week but I'm already quite hooked! It is rather graphic so I don't recommend if you have a weak stomach! 

Song: This is rather difficult as there have been a few that I've been playing non stop! I've been loving Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars (who doesn't love this song?!), Blank Space by Taylor Swift and Elastic Heart by Sia. Who's shocked there is no Ed Sheeran this month. I am! 

Beauty Product: Still Lush's Snow Fairy shower gel! I'm almost at the end of my 1st of 2 bottles *cry face*. I just love the smell and it clings to your skin longer than your standard shower gel! 

Candle: It wouldn't be me without having a favourite candle of the month! If you follow me on instagram or twitter you will have seen I've been on a huge candle spree in January! I would have to say my favourite one from this month is my berrylicious Yankee Candle! Fresh blueberries. Yummy! 

Event: I'm not going to lie, January is a dull month. The dark and cold nights mean I just want to be snuggled up in bed by 9pm. However the highlight of this month was my trip to Amsterdam! You can find my blog posts on that here and here.

Let me know what you think of my new format for this post! :) 

xx

TheSundayPost

Aloha! This week has been rather quiet! I've been trying to save my pennies (badly) as Mexico is due to be paid off by next weekend! Here is the few things I have been up to this week!

- Of course, most of this week has been taken up with work! I've been really struggling to get up in the mornings which has made me rather grumpy! I should really start going to bed earlier!

- This week I submitted my application for a promotion at work! It would give me some job security for the next year which would be lovely. And it would be a nice first full time job after leaving uni! Fingers and toes crossed! 

- As you can see, I've been a little carried away with the candle buying this week! I've still got a few to be delivered! Some of these were for a candle swap I am doing with a friend in France! As sad as it sounds I am rather excited for my parcel to arrive! It's become a little hobby of mine to collect rare candles which might sound sad but it's good fun! 

- The weekend has been a bit more eventful! On Friday night we went round to a friend's house for drinks and nandos. Then on Saturday we went to a comedy show which an ex-boss of mine puts on every year!

Now it is time to get prepared for the week ahead once again! 

I hope you all have a wonderful week!

Kringle Candles

Aloha! So it's well know that I love Yankee Candles, but I've kinda cheated on them by buying some of these! Kringle Candles came about after the original owner of Yankee, Mike Kittredge and his son James, started the business in 2009. Unfortunately, it has just been announced that Kringle Candle's European arm of the business will be closing this week, but i managed to get my hands on these before they close (at 50% off may I add!) Thankfully, there has already been mention of a new European supplier so fingers crossed the rumours are true.

These daylight candles are like giant tealights. They burn for around 12 hours which is not too bad, especially considering I got these for £1.25 each! 

So the scents I picked up were:

Banana cream pie - Now I'm not too sure about this scent. I normally love anything banana scented (and flavoured for that matter). I'm hoping the scent will grow on me. It just smells a bit too sickly for me just now!

Lemon Meringue Pie - This one smells very similar to Banana Cream Pie. However I'm willing to give them both a shot. They might smell better once lit!

Black Sands - I love this one! It's a musky smell which reminds me of men's aftershave a little bit!

Baker's Vanilla - Who doesn't love a vanilla scented candle? It is quite a subtle vanilla though, so if you don't like them overpowering, this one might be for you!

Beachside - This one is also amazing! It smells like cocoa butter! It reminds me of sunshine and days on the beach! I think I'll be putting this one in the bathroom to burn when I'm having a soak in the bath! 

So that was my little haul from Kringle Candle. Let me know if you find any UK suppliers, I'd love to try some more scents! 

Have you tried Kringle Candle? Which scents do you love?

p.s I've got some wax melts on the way, also from Kringle so keep an eye out for those making an appearance on here!

Yankee Candle // Coming Soon

Hello! So last week I posted about the Yankee Candle scents which have newly been released in 2015. This post will show you what is still to come this year! 

The first scent to mention is Jelly Beans! I don't have a picture of this one yet but it will be available in time for Easter! If you really can't wait to get your hands on this, a little birdy told me that some Dobbies Garden Centres already have these on the shelves! 

Cafe Culture Range

- Pain au Raisin

-Tarte Tatin

- Cappuccino Truffle (This one will be mine! Coffee and Chocolate, what's not to love!?) 

These will be available in stores from April. 

Out of Africa Range

-Egyptian Musk

- Kilimanjaro Stars

- Serengeti Sunset

- Madagascan Orchid

These are described as "perfumes of musk, orchid and amber, reminiscent of an African Savannah. They sound like exactly the type of scents I love and I can't wait to have a little sniff of these when they hit my local store in July. 

Christmas Range

- Bundle Up

- Cosy by the Fire

- Berry Trifle (this sounds lush!)

- Winter Glow

Yankee never fail to disappoint with their Christmas candles, and by the sounds of it, this year will be no different! There is just something so lovely about lighting a candle on a cold, dark winter's night! These candles will be available in stores from October!

So that is what's coming soon from Yankee Candle! I personally can't wait to get my hands on Cappuccino Truffle, Kilimanjaro Starts and Berry Trifle. 

What scents are you looking forward to trying?

TheSundayPost

Aloha! It felt like this week was the longest week ever! That might have something to do with me being on the countdown to payday! 

1- It's been so bloody cold this week! Thankfully it got a bit warmer for the weekend!

2- On Monday night I managed to miss my tram stop and ended up in the Yankee Candle store. I managed to pick up these lovely little bargains! 

3- By Wednesday I managed to pick up the lovely cold that's been doing the rounds in my work. I was feeling totally run down all day which resulted in me having a day in bed on Thursday. That must have been exactly what I needed as I was feeling much better on Friday

4- On Saturday I did a little bit of baking! We were heading out to our friend's house for a bring a dish dinner party at night.

5- This was the result of my baking! Coffee kisses and cheese nibbles! Blog post coming up later on in the week!

6- And finally, this weekend we've had Mikey's brother's cat staying with us as he is away on holiday! I've really enjoyed having a little bundle of fur to look after the past few days! She's with us until Tuesday night :)

Hope the week ahead is great for you all!

Yankee Candle 2015 // New Scents

Hello! If you follow me on Instagram, you will know I have a serious obsession with Yankee candles. In fact make that any scented candles ever. Today I thought I'd do a little post about all the amazing scents which have just been launched by Yankee! 

Available Now

Source: yankeecandle.co.uk

Aloe Water - "Clean, refreshing water blends with thick, soothing aloe to create a wonderfully relaxing fragrance experience." 

Cassis - "Vibrantly stimulating… the lush aroma of blackcurrant berries with a fresh burst of tartness."

Shea Butter - "Pure contentment… indulge yourself in this creamy smooth scent with hints of beautiful fruit blossoms."

Red Raspberry - "Tangy sweet and full of nature’s goodness … there is nothing quite as delicious as ripe, rosy red raspberries."

Source: yankeecandle.co.uk

Pink Grapefruit - "Perfectly ripe, sunkissed fruit bursting with bright, tingly citrus to stir the senses."

Oud Oasis - "Rich and seductive, this prized incense helps set a luxuriously calming mood."

Frankincense - "This precious resin has long been sought for its delicate sweetness, peppery spiciness and balsamic wood undertones."

Moroccan Argan Oil - "With hints of patchouli and sandalwood, the exotic aroma of rare argan oil creates a uniquely inviting ambiance." 

I had a little nosy in my local yankee store at these new scents. Personally I'm not that keen on the first 3 scents listed, although I haven't smelt them whilst lit, so I won't write them off yet. The rest of them are lovely though, especially the Moroccan Argan Oil & Red Raspberry! I will definitely be adding them to my wishlist! 

Next week I'll be posting about the scents which are still to come this year! 

Have you bought any of the new scents? Which ones do you like the sound of?

The Me Time Tag

Hey Everyone! I've seen this tag floating about the blogosphere lately and thought I would get involved! I love a bit of me-time, so here are my answers to the questions below!

What do you read or watch during me-time?

I usually read a book on my kindle or a magazine. My favourites are look and heat magazine! I love catching up on my favourite youtubers' videos too! Lately I've been loving watching the Saccone-Joly's and Zoella! 

What do you wear during me-time?

My PJ's of course! I love wearing the legging type PJ's as I find them the most comfy! I received some Ugg slippers for my christmas so I'm sure I will get plenty of wear out of them! As soon as I get home on a night I get my slippers on!

What are your me-time beauty products?

Anything from Lush! I've got a big box of bath bombs beside my bath which I like to keep stocked up! I received some bath things for Christmas so that will top the box up a bit! I'm also partial to a wee face mask from time to time! 

Current Favourite nail polish?

I have to admit, I don't really paint my nails that often! I constantly chip them then spend my day picking the polish off! If I do have anything on my nails, it has to be gel so I don't chip it! I do love Rimmel nail polishes though, and I have a little collection of them.

What do you eat or drink during me-time?

Hot chocolate with marshmallows and cream is a favourite of mine! I also love a little cider or disaronno on the rocks! To eat, I love chocolate (who doesn't) and I also love crisps! Sweet Chilli Sensations are my all time favourite! No healthy snacks in my house haha!

Current favourite candle?

Oh god, I don't even know where to begin with this one! I have a serious Yankee candle buying problem! I would have to say my all time favourite scent is Baby Powder! My other half bought me 5 of the wax tarts for christmas and I've just treated myself to the large jar! 

Do you ever have outdoor me-time?

Yeah, I love going for long walks in the countryside, either with or without company! My favourite place to go is up to the reservoir near my parents house! I spent a lot of my childhood there, walking with my family and it's really beautiful! 

Would you ever go and see a movie alone?

Probably not to be honest! I've never really had to as I've always managed to rope someone along with me. I see going to the cinema as a social thing where you can share popcorn and laugh together at the movie!

Anything else to add? What else do you like to do during me-time?

My favourite thing to do during me-time is put my favourite spotify playlist on, light some candles and get writing some blog posts! Or do some online shopping haha! 

Please feel free to copy and paste this tag to your blog! Let me know if you decide to do it. I'd love to read your answers!

Boxing Day Sales Haul

Aloha! You can't beat a bit of festive shopping, even better when everything is in the sale! I've picked up a few bargains, so here is a little roundup of everything I've bought! 

On Boxing Day, we headed into town as a family to have a little look in the sales! I never saw anything I really wanted, but later on that day we went to our local shopping centre where I got these little bargains! 

Blue Jeggings - £12 from Next

I live in leggings and I'm always looking for another pair to add to wardrobe! These were originally £24 so I was delighted to get them so cheap!

Grey Dogtooth Leggings - £14 from New Look

These are beautiful! I plan on wearing them to work mainly but they will also be lovely to wear casually too!

Black Scuba Leggings - £5 from New Look

I wasn't so sure about these, but you can never have too many black leggings! After trying them on though, I really like them so I'll be keeping them! They will be nice dressed up or casual!

Candy Cane Lane Small Jar - £3.99 from Clintons Cards

Yes, I bought more candles! I was looking for one of these online but they were sold out everywhere. So imagine my surprise when I walked into clintons and found them on a half price shelf! This smells of peppermint and sugar! It's lovely! 

Candy Cane Lane & Cranberry Ice Waxed Tarts - 69p each from Yankee Candle Store

My local Yankee store was selling off all their Christmas stock at ridiculous prices on Boxing Day! Unfortunately I missed most of the bargains, but I did manage to grab some wax tarts for my new burner! 

Navy Crochet Maxi Dress - £28 from Very.co.uk

This is actually navy, it's just my lighting is terrible! I've had my eye on it for a while for my end of uni ball in May, so when it went in the sale, I just had to buy it! It is really pretty and I think it may be a perfect dress! 

Globe Bookends - £22.50 from Marks & Spencer

Again, I picked these up a bit before Christmas. I couldn't resist them. They are just so me! My mum bought some for my dad too! I've always wanted a globe and now I have 2! 

Candy Cane Lane Tealights - £3.50 from Yankeecandle.co.uk

I bought these before I found the small jar and the wax tarts on Boxing Day, but these will still get used in my lovely cat tealight holder that I bought from the same website! 

Cranberry Ice Small Jar - £4.00 from Yankeecandle.co.uk

Fireside Treats Small Jar - £4.00 from Yankeecandle.co.uk

Icicles Small Jar - £4.00 from Yankeecandle.co.uk

Of course, I couldn't resist stocking up on some more jar candles! I think I need to go to candle rehab!  These were half price so how could I say no! 

I also picked up a Baby Powder Large Jar in the Very sale for only £16! That hasn't arrived yet so I don't have a picture to show you! 

So that is all the bargains I have managed to find so far! No doubt there will be more to come! 

I'd love to see any posts about products you have found in the sales! Leave me your links below!

TheSundayPost

Hello Everyone! I missed posting my Sunday Post last week, but I am back this week! Here is what I have been up to in the last week!

The yankee candle sale started on Monday night! Obviously I couldn't resist putting in a little order! I will be putting up a January Sales Haul very soon so you will see what I bought! 

I was working right up until 12.30 on Christmas Eve unfortunately! When I got home, it was time to relax with a very fitting candle! 

Santa has been!! You can find my post on what I got for Christmas HERE

We spent Christmas morning with the other half's parents. It wouldn't be Christmas without me watching the snowman! 

This was our starter for Christmas Dinner. It was heaven on a plate! It was star shaped smoked salmon mousse with seafood sticks, lettuce, and my mum's homemade marie rose sauce! Delicious!

Smudge enjoyed his day too of course! Here he is relaxing after his dinner! 

As I was staying at my parent's house over Christmas, he got to sleep in the bed with me! Just look how cute he is!! 

So that's pretty much it for this week! As I type this, I am watching Harry Potter and munching on leftover turkey and duck curry! It's been a great week, and a wonderful Christmas!

TheSundayPost

Hello Everyone! I've been rather quiet this week so sorry for that! 

Here is what I've been up to this week.

I took this photo on Monday morning whilst on my way to work! How pretty is the sky? Lots of my friends had uploaded similar photos on Monday so it wasn't just me who thought this was lovely! It certainly made a dark Monday morning a bit better. 

Coffee and cake time is my favourite time of the day at work! It's usually about 3.30pm every day! 

These are my favourite chocolates to have around christmas time! You can't beat a little treat after work! 

I had an essay due on Friday which resulted in an all nighter on Thursday night! I took this photo as it accurately reflected my mood at about 11pm when all I wanted was my bed!

On Friday night we went out for Mexican food after work as our student loans were in the bank! This was my tequila sunrise cocktail! It was delicious! 

On Saturday, we stayed at my mum's house! This little monkey was trying to pinch bits of chicken out of Mikey's pasta!

This is the candle holder I was tweeting about! I got it for only £7.49 from yankeecandle.co.uk

I'm totally in love with it! 

Today I put up my christmas tree and tidied my sitting room! It was so nice to relax watching X factor with my christmas yankee candles and my tree all lit up! 

So that's all for this week! Hope you all have a lovely week :)
