Well, here we are. The last post of 2024. I can't quite believe we're at the end of the year. It just flew by this year and I feel like so much has happened this year. As is an end of the month tradition on this blog, here are all the things I've been loving this month. Let's get started. Blood Brothers I watched this musical in the Palace Theatre in Manchester at the end of last month and I honestly fell in love with it. I downloaded the album and I've been listening to it on repeat. It's such a unique story, how two brothers are separated at birth and go on to live two separate lives in different social classes but yet they don't let that stop their friendship. It has the innocence of childhood to growing into your teenage years to facing the reality of adulthood. It's such a sweet but also heartbreaking story. I even went and bought the book to read so I can relive the story again as well as watching clips on YouTube. I'm so fascinated by it that ...

I just wanted to make this post to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. I hope you're having a lovely day whether you're spending it with family, friends, colleagues or even on your own. I hope it's a happy day for you. I'm currently spending my day with family, opening presents and having a turkey Christmas dinner.  This year has been an incredible year and I can't quite believe it's Christmas day. Anyway, that's all I have to say as I want to keep this post short so you can get back to your day.  Thank you so much for taking the time to view my blog this year. I really do appreciate all of you and wish you a very Merry Christmas.  See you again soon.

This time of year can be hard for some of us. Especially as we're coming up to Christmas then there's New Year. People will be celebrating their first Christmas as a couple. There'll be engagements, baby announcements, celebrating getting their first home together. Even just having someone special to celebrate Christmas and New Years with. Personally, I've never bought a Christmas present for a partner or even shared a New Year's kiss with anyone. I don't know if that makes me lucky or not that I still have that milestone to achieve but it does bring you down. Especially when there's movies like The Holiday and Love Actually to remind you how single you really are.  I did have a small hope when I went for drinks with someone two months ago that this year might be different. Sadly I think I fell at the first hurdle and I may have even lost my chance at anything happening but I haven't given up hope because you never know what can happen, although probably...

To get into the Christmas spirit, I decided to have a movie day and honestly I'm really glad I did because it just got me excited for Christmas day. Sometimes, you just need a cosy feel good movie to watch and I decided to watch these movies while I was hungover after going out the night before and it was the best decision. I closed my curtains, drank hot chocolate and had some snacks to keep me immersed while also snuggling in my Christmas bedding. It was perfect. I think the only thing missing was having someone with me but I know one day it will happen. Anyway, I want to share some of the movies I watched and why I love them.  How The Grinch Stole Christmas  This movie I watched so much growing up on VHS. Yes I had this on VHS. It's definitely a comfort movie for me. I love Jim Carrey's Grinch and how relatable he is to me in my adult years. How he didn't hate Christmas, he just hated how people treated him. It's just a fun movie to watch and really makes you get...

I don’t know about you, but December seems to be flying by so fast. Christmas is this Wednesday and I don’t know why but I’ve never felt less Christmassy in my life. I haven’t even watched a Christmas film yet or listened to much Christmas music. I changed my bedding and put the tree up. Plus I’m looking forward to Christmas Day. I think because I bought all my presents in November that I haven’t been feeling the Christmas spirit. I’m hoping these next few days will change that because I do love this time of year. I think I just need to have a Christmas movie marathon, drink hot chocolate and have mince pies then I’ll get into the Christmas spirit.  I’m wondering if anyone else is feeling like this, where this year in particular, it’s a struggle to get excited for Christmas. Let me know if you have any tips to get into the Christmas spirit because I really want to get into it. Anyway, thank you for taking the time to read my blog and I’ll be back soon with another post. See you the...

As it's party season, I thought it would be a good idea to share what's in my going out bag as I'm going on a night out for Mad Friday this week and I'm so excited. Plus I thought it would be fun to share what I like to bring with me on a night out, let's get started. This is my going out bag and I've had this bag for over ten years. I originally got it from Matalan and I love it because it's a small clutch bag with a little strap, but you can surprisingly fit a lot in it. Also with the strap allows you to hold it in your hand, on your wrist and shoulder which is always handy. It's definitely a preference of mine. I don't like big bags and I get sick of cross body bags. This just makes it easier for me to carry on a night out.  Let's take a look inside. The first essential of a night out is always my phone. I just have an iPhone 11 which I find works for me. I got this case from Amazon and the pop socket is from Amazon. It actually works as a pho...

Last weekend me and my mum decided to take a trip up north. We decided to visit Liverpool for one night before heading to Manchester for two nights. Here’s how it went down. On Thursday we booked the Magical Mystery Tour which I’d highly recommend because not only do you get to iconic landmarks like Penny Lane and Strawberry fields but you get to see some of the homes of the Beatles. Plus not only do you get excellent commentary from the tour guide, you get to listen to Beatles music on the drive around the city. Our tour guide was Tony and our bus driver was Dennis who were both amazing on the day.  Also the magical mystery tour gets you 15% off the Cavern Restaurant as well as a free entry plus souvenir postcard from The Cavern Club. On that particular day as well there was a Beatles Tribute band playing as well as a Father Christmas. It was a great evening all in all and worth it. The next day we travelled to Manchester. While on the way we were deciding what we were going to do...
