Happy Halloween!

 I love any events during the year in which the family comes together, or I get to attempt to transform the place with decorations, but I am especially keen on the Halloween period as I get to make things as scary as possible, whether that's by stringing cobwebs around or using these very cool blood gel stickers (picture below)

Spoooky

Plus you cant forget the costumes! I am still in the process of making mine, but luckily the party isn't until Saturday, so I have a bit more time to finish, but the dogs have got their cute little costumes ready! I am not the type of person who dresses the dogs up usually, but the novelty costumes are very hard to ignore! As I am proving right now as I type this I cant help but giggle, it makes me look a tad mad but hey ho, you have to enjoy the little things! ...... Such as one of my dogs who has taken very well to her little witches hat!

Even the dog is in the spirit!

Are you busy with spooky celebrations, hanging up decorations, carving pumpkins and handing out sweeties to the eager trick or treaters?

Or are you taking this chance to have a horror movie marathon to get your self truly terrified?

Whatever you are doing I hope you all have a really good time and enjoy yourself! Get dressed up, paint your face, do what ever as long as you have fun!

Don't get too spooked

Winter Pastels

1. Cream Hooded Coat

2. Knitted Cardigan 

3. Oversize Jumper

4. Wedge Ankle Boots

5. Shoulder Bag

6. Polar Bear Mittens

7. Chunky Snood

I never usually relate pastels to winter but I love the way they all look together, plus they will all keep you toasty warm during the colder months! I fell in love with the little polar bear mittens, they are far too adorable I just had to include them! I know this may sound mad to many of you, but I am actually looking forward to winter, I cant wait to snuggle up in a big jumper as they are so easy to wear and keep you warm. So, what do you think of my wish list?

Baby lips?

It is not uncommon for people to get dry, chapped lips during the winter. I am one of those people, my lips start to split and can become quite uncomfortable, the past few winters I have always tried to keep some form of lip balm or moisturizer on me so I can stop that from happening, but I have never seemed to find a product that actually works. So a few weeks ago I purchased two Maybelline Baby Lips lip balms, as they claimed to offer up to 8 hours hydration, plus every one and their mother were raging about it and praising it very highly so I decided to give it a try! I bought 'Pink Punch' and 'Peach Kiss' and honestly?

Pink Punch

I love them! They have lived up to their name as 'Baby Lips', they make your lips really soft, but of course it doesn't last for 8 hours, but what do you expect? If it did that would be some sort of wizardry! Also they give your lips a hint of colour which helps a lot, 'Peach Kiss' is my favourite as it offers a really natural looking colour whilst hydrating your lips and making them feel so much better!

So if you are stuck when trying to buy a lip balm that works well, I would recommend these products as they are really good to use and feel really nice!

October events!

I think October may be one of my favourite months of the year, and it seems to be the busiest ones! There are so many different things to look forward to, and I love the general autumn feeling when it just feels snug. I walk to college every day and the view changes each time, leaves change colour from green to yellow then to a lovely red/ burgundy, then they fall off and you can hear the crunches as you step through a blanket of dried leaves. (Its a fairly satisfying sound!) Plus the air is chilled but not cold, its the perfect temperature to go for walks then curl up with a hot drink.
This month brings a wide variety of events in my town but my favourite has to be the annual musical fireworks! They are held every year on three consecutive nights, and this year it is being held now! The first display was on Friday, unfortunately I wasn't able to go but I did catch a glimpse of them from outside the window! I went last night (Saturday) and they were great to watch, there was a wide range of different fireworks which kept variety within the displays. There is another display tonight which I cannot wait for, unfortunately I did get any pictures to show you guys but I wanted a night just to sit and watch the displays!

Rubbish Quality from the fireworks last year

This month has always been full of fond memories, especially from my childhood as we always used to get together with family and friends and throw a huge Halloween party, I always adored the way my mother used to decorate the house as she has a very creative unique style and always made things look really good! And of course you cant forget the pumpkin carving which is incredibly messy but we still do it every year.

But this year I have something extra to look forward to, as I am going to Majorca for 4 days on a spare of the moment holiday! Which brings me to the fact I will be gone next Sunday, I will try and schedule a post to go out. So in case I don't blog, I will speak to you in two weeks, keep safe, until next time!
