The Lovely Bones
I decided to read this book for one of my English Literature coursework pieces for school and I am completely hooked. Although not the nicest book in terms of what it's about- it is extremely violent at certain points- it is utterly gripping and one of those books that is so easy to read, yet it also has a slightly chilling atmosphere. I can't wait to finish it and find out what happens next!
Hans Sloane Drinking Chocolate
Quite a random favourite, but I am not exaggerating when I say it is the best hot chocolate ever. It comes in the form of chocolate beads, which you melt into hot milk, to create a luxurious, smooth, milky, chocolatey beverage. It is perfect for those chilly evenings, as it just seems to warm you up completely.
Yankee Candle "Pink Sands"
I have really got into burning candles recently, as I feel so much more relaxed when I have one burning. This one is quite a summery scent as it has a mix of citrus, florals and vanilla, and I have burnt about half of it now, but I will continue to light when I just need to relax and chill out.
Relax Melodies App
Speaking of relaxing, I have really been enjoying using this app recently to help with my anxiety and ensure I feel calm. Relaxing music always makes me feel better, no matter how anxious I feel, and I really like this app as you can create your own melodies by selecting the sounds you like the most. With sounds ranging from Campfire, Slow Waves and Cat Purring, there is something to make everyone feel relaxed.
Moleskine City Notebook- New York
With exactly three months until me and my family cross the pond for a trip to New York to celebrate my 18th birthday, I am getting completely into planning mode, researching restaurants, shops and tourist attractions, and making a note of recommendations and things to do at that time of year, as it will be Christmas. I am getting very excited whenever I jot something down in there.
The Great British Bake Off
I look forward to this being on the TV every year, as it is just such a homely and cosy programme, that makes you crave cakes, biscuits and puddings. I also like the fact that it is not a boring show about baking, there is humour provided by the brilliant Mel and Sue, as well as the impeccably dressed Mary Berry being a judge. Perfect Wednesday Evening!
September
I love this time of year as for me it symbolises a fresh start, with the new term at school, as well as the fact that Autumn is just around the corner, which is my favourite season. A lot of exciting things start happening at this time of year as well, with the run up to Halloween, my birthday and Christmas. You also can't beat a cosy night in when the weather starts turning colder.
So that's all of my non-beauty favourites, I hope you enjoyed reading through them. I enjoyed writing about something other than beauty for a change, as I think it is quite nice to do more of a lifestyle post from time to time. Maybe I will do this type of post more often.
