5 Great Things About My Week!!

(Image source)

Hello everyone!!

I thought I would do a different kind of blog post today and tell you 5 things that have been great this week;

Rehearsals  -  This year for my final production at college we have took on "4:48 Psychosis" by Sarah Kane which we will be performing in 16 days which is not too long away but this week it finally has came together. We only have a few more scenes to finalise and then we are good to go which is amazing considering how tough a year we have had.

New Lecturer - a week ago, my college got a new lecturer who has taken over my voice classes and he is amazing. There is something about him that I really like, and he really cares about not only my class but also the work we are doing. He gives great advice and I feel like if I had him from the start of the year college may have been that little bit better. I think Friday was one of my favourite days at college so far and there have been many good days.

Juice Detox - I found a Glasgow based Juice Company that specialises in a Juice Detox and decided to try out a 3 day one this week. Everything about it I loved (apart from not getting my third day on time which I'm not too happy about as it meant I couldn't finish the Detox) it made me feel like I had been wiped out from all the badness.

New Clothes - I purchased a lot of new clothes this week and I think I had a delivery every single day, which made me very happy as I never get mail. I felt my wardrobe needed updating even though most of the stuff I bought was plain black for college.

My College Friends - I have a few close friends that I have known all throughout my school years but my college friends are just amazing!! From the very first day as a whole class, we connected and this week has just been another great week with them. It is as though we have known each other our whole lives and I will miss them all dearly when things change next year.

5 Things That Made My Week!!

5 Things That Made My Week

1. Getting my tattoo and falling in love with it. For a long time I have been wanting a tattoo but after winning a voucher for a local tattoo studio, I decided to finally go for it. I got a Daisy chain wrapped around my wrist and it’s beautiful, I can’t stop looking at it.

2. Going to my first job interview and getting the job. I had my job interview on Monday and was so nervous but it went amazingly. As it was my first interview, I did not know what to expect but the woman who interviewed me was great. I found out on the Wednesday that I got the job and I could not be happier. It is only a job for Christmas but it is better than nothing and there is always a chance of getting kept on permanent.

3. My anatomy exam being cancelled. Yes, I do wish that I got it out the way but it was a huge relief to hear the words from my lecturer that it was cancelled. It means I get an extra week to study for it so I will for sure pass.

4. Getting tickets for the Glasgow Christmas Lights switch on. Every year I always I go along with my cousin who gets the tickets but this year I managed to get them for myself. After looking on facebook, I seem to be the only one who did because I do not know anyone else who got them. Its always fun to go see them getting switched on even though it rains nearly every year.

5. Friday night with the squad. My friends and I are now known as the “SQUAD” and on Friday night we had one of the best nights ever at the student union. I love going out with my friends for a drink or two and having such a laugh. We took over the jukebox and played songs from the 80s which was great as we were the only ones singing.

Thank you for reading what made my week this week and I hope you all had a lovely week!!

Top Eight Things I love about Autumn!!

Hello everyone!!

Autumn is such a lovely time of the year. It is the time for relaxing after a summer full of fun and before the rush for Christmas. I have always loved autumn, ever since I can remember it has been my favourite season. The little things about autumn make it so special. There are so many things that I love about autumn and I thought that I would write a list of them. 

1. Crunchy leaves

The sensation you feel when you are walking, you step on a leaf, and it crunches puts a huge smile on my face. I do not know why I love it so much but I do and it is rather sad because whenever I see a leaf I walk towards it just to hear the crunch.

2. Autumn colours 

I love them. As soon as it hits autumn and the shops start filling with clothes coloured from orange to burgundy to brown, it makes me happy. They are not the brightest of colours but it does not matter because I love them. My favourite for this season is cobalt blue; it is a pretty colour all year round but especially in autumn.

3. Pumpkin spiced lattes from Starbucks.

 It is literally autumn in a cup; it is the perfect drink to have in the colder days as it warms you up on the first sip. This drink is probably my all time favourite drink from starbucks.

4. Beanie hats

 As I mentioned in my autumn tag I love them and as soon as autumn hits I venture out to buy a new one. I recently bought one from primark to add to my collection and it is rather cosy.

5. Halloween

 It is my most favourite thing about autumn so it had to be included. There is something about Halloween that automatically makes me happy. My favourite thing to do in the autumn season is to chill on the sofa watching Halloween films. I went out at the weekend and spent a large amount of money on decorations but it is for Halloween so it is acceptable. I think what makes me love it so much is the dressing up part, I love putting on an act and being something/someone else which explains why I am acting student.

 6. Salted caramel

 Whether it is salted caramel hot chocolates or salted caramel sauce, I love it. As soon as I hear that something has salted caramel flavouring I think of autumn. It’s such a weird combination of flavours that work so well together

7. Guy Fawkes Night

An annual celebration filled with bonfires and firework displays. I am not the hugest fan of fireworks as I think they are dangerous but I love the whole atmosphere that surrounds that night. Every year I go to one of my local parks with my friends and the rest of the city to watch the firework display and its great fun.

8. Dark lips

One of the only times that I can actually pull of dark lips and not look terrible is during autumn. I have been wearing them a lot recently and I just think they look great. My favourites of the moment are Makeup Revolution’s “Rebel with Cause” and the Revlon lip butter in “Red Velvet”.


Hope you enjoyed hearing what my top eight things about the autumn season are!

How I Spend My Christmas Tag

Hello everyone, I seen Emma from thebrunettebeautyblogger do the how I spend my Christmas tag and I thought I would do it aswell. 

What are you usually up to on Christmas Eve?

Normally I'm doing some last minute wrapping & just getting ready for Christmas really. I spend most of my day in my pyjamas if not all day, I watch some Christmas movies either the ones on TV or my DVDs, drink some hot chocolate. I unfortunately don't have any traditions like going to people's houses or anything like that. 

Who do you spend your Christmas day's with?

I spend it with my mum, dad, older sisters, gran, uncle, auntie and cousins at my Gran's house for Christmas dinner.

Do you enjoy giving or receiving gifts?

I'm sure everyone enjoys receiving gifts but I also love giving, its nice just to give back to those important people in my life.

What does your outfit consist of on Christmas Day?

While opening my presents I'm in my pyjamas until about midday then I get into something a little bit more fancier. If I get any clothing for Christmas I wear that or I stick on a nice dress.

Do you enjoy shopping for your loved one's gifts?

I love shopping for them. 

Have you ever received a gift that you disliked and pretended you liked it?

I can't remember any gifts that I've gotten that I didn't like, I'm sure there has been a few but I can't remember them.

What would your ideal Christmas be?

Every Christmas I always think it's pretty perfect, spending it with my family at my Gran's. Maybe some snow would top it off though.

What is your least favourite thing about Christmas?

How commercialised it has gotten, the real meaning of Christmas isn't really there now. 

What is the best gift you have ever received?

Wow that's a hard one, probably my DSLR I think.

If you could choose one person to spend Christmas with who would it be and why? (Other than family)

Oh just probably my friends I guess, I wouldn't really want to spend it with anyone else other than my family.

Hope you enjoyed reading & I tag you all to do this x

Ten Things I Love About Christmas

Hello everyone, today I thought I would tell you ten things I like about Christmas!!

1. Buying presents -  I love buying people presents, it makes me feel happy knowing I am buying a gift for someone else that they will really appreciate. I love the excitement of going into a shop or seeing someone online for someone.

2. Christmas Markets - They are the best thing ever, I love walking round all the stalls and eating  yummy treats or buying cute little things. Every year I look forward to going to the one in town and each year it gets better and better. I would love to go to one in like Germany.

3. Decorating my house - I love putting up my Christmas tree and decorating my room, it gets me really excited about Christmas and can be lots of fun.

4. Christmas Music - I love Christmas songs, theres just something about them that excites me. I just posted my favourite Christmas songs so go check it out.

5. Gran's Christmas Dinner - We have Sunday lunch every week but at Christmas its that little bit better. She goes all out with her home cooking and its just wonderful.

6. Wrapping Presents - People always seem to hate wrapping presents but I'm the opposite, I love doing it. My favourite thing about it is adding those finishing touches with little bows or ribbon and cute little tags. 

7. Watching Christmas films - The excitement of putting on a Christmas film or watching one on TV in the weeks running up to Christmas is fantastic. The feeling I get inside is all warm and puts a great big smile on my face.

8. Ornaments - One of my favourite things to do each year is buy a new ornament for my tree and each year they bring out even better ones than the year before. I love ones that are really unique because they then stand out from the rest.

9. Mince Pies - Nothing beats a mince pie in the winter, its the only time I really eat them (because they aren't available the rest of the year) and when I do it reminds me of how much I actually love them

10. Irn Bru Snowman Advert - My favourite advert of all time is the Irn Bru Snowman advert, everyone says its not Christmas until you see the coca cola advert well not for me. The advert makes me so happy seeing Glasgow all ready for Christmas and makes me realise how much I actually love Christmas.

Hope you enjoyed reading, tell me below what's your favourite thing about Christmas?
