Today's photo is of the evening. On this particular evening I decided to get cosy and immersed by switching the lights off to watch Beetlejuice. I haven't seen this movie in so long and because the new movie is coming out soon, I felt like watching it just to refresh my memory. I'm hoping to take a trip somewhere to go watch the new one as I haven't been to the cinema in so long. I'm probably going to go alone as nobody I know seems interested in seeing it, which I'm quite excited about. I'll make a whole day trip out of it. I haven't been to the cinema in so long by myself, I used to do it a lot when I was in university and I always enjoyed it every single time. It's a whole different experience compared to when you see it with other people. There's less pressure on whether the other people with you are enjoying it, plus you get popcorn and a drink all to yourself which is a bonus.  Having this cosy evening made me realise how much I'm looki...

One of my favourite things to do this time of year is chill out and watch Xmas movies. I just love a good Christmas film and it gets me excited for Christmas and it feels so cosy. Plus outside it is freezing cold so it's nice to get snuggled up with some blankets, snacks and watch some of my favourite Christmas movies.  It all begins with getting my favourite snacks and recently I've been loving Mini Cheddars. I don't know why but they are such a simple snack to have. Plus I love the jumbo size tub because normally they come in a tiny bag and that never feels like enough. I also like to have some sweets so I gotta have my favourites which are M&Ms. Always a good shout especially when it comes to watching a movie. Plus it's different to having the usual popcorn.  Now for the main event, the Christmas movies.  One of the classics is Home Alone. It just has to be done. Even though I watch it every year. I know exactly what happens. It's not Christmas without watchi...

Halloween is just a week away and to many it may seem like just another day but for a lot of people Halloween is a time to make plans and celebrate the day for all its worth. I thought I'd share some ideas on things you can do this Halloween to get you ready for the spooky day.  1. Trick or Treat This is an obvious one but trick or treating is a traditional thing when Halloween comes around. It's often where kids and teenagers dress up and go around knocking on neighbours doors for sweets. Of course I think trick or treating when you're an adult is often frowned upon but it's fun for the kids and teenagers as it's a chance for them to get lots of sweets. It's important though to only knock on people's houses that have a pumpkin outside their house as many don't like to be disturbed. Although some people just ignore that rule and knock anyway. On the other end, if you're like me and the thought of having people knock on your door throughout the night ...

For me when September arrives, it's the start of Autumn. I love Autumn for a number of reasons.  The weather is starting to cool down a bit more.  September is the start of the school year so it kind of feels like the time for new beginnings.  October is my birthday month and Halloween.  Autumn is the perfect excuse to have cosy movie nights and drink hot chocolate.  Plus November has bonfire night and the build up to Xmas.  I just love this time of year. I definitely prefer the colder months compared to the hotter months as it's so much easier to wrap up warm than it is to cool down.  So yeah, I really love Autumn and I'm so excited for these next few months as I have so much planned which I'm so excited about. I will definitely blog it all when it happens.  That's all I have to say about why I love Autumn. Thank you for reading my blog and I'll be back again soon with another post. See you then.

I thought I'd do something a little different with my what's in my bag post and share it as a photo journal style. The reason I'm sharing what's in my going out bag is because it's my work's Christmas party tonight and the first time I've been on a night out in a while so I'm very excited. Anyway, here's what's in my going out bag. That's what's in my going out bag. Let me know what your going out bag essential is. I'd love to hear it.  Thank you for reading my blog and I'll be back tomorrow with another post. See you then.

As I did my morning routine for yesterday's post. It only seemed right to do my evening routine for today's post so let's get started. My evening starts when I finish working for the day. On this particular evening I had a day off but I was working on my blog for most of the day, so I decided to switch it off and start my evening.  Now I don't usually do this, but I really wanted to finish the current book I was reading which was Endless Autumn by Annabelle Knight as I only had a few chapters to go. The last few chapters were very unexpected and full of surprise that I wasn't even sure how this book was going to end. However I was pleased with the ending and the book in general. I didn't know what to expect but I soon learned this is definitely not a book for young readers as the amount of sex scenes and the inclusion of a brothel was surprising but also an interesting read. It was definitely different from other romance books I've read but was definitely a ...

It's so important after a busy and long day to have some downtime. Winding down is really important especially during this whole pandemic where everything feels so stressful at the moment and you may be feeling a tense. That's why I put together my top five ways to unwind for the evening.  1. Bath/Shower My first tip is to have either a bath or shower, whatever you prefer and wash away the stresses of the day. If I want to relax and take my time, I usually have a bath. I like having a bath bomb and lots of bubbles in the bath. I'll set my laptop up and watch something while I have a bath. Although lately I've been listening to an audiobook which has been really nice too. Of course I do love my showers because they are so much more convenient. Just do whatever works for you but this can be the start of your evening downtime.  2. Pyjamas! There is nothing like getting into some fresh new pyjamas after you've had a wash in the evening. They always just feel so soft and...

So I was wide awake at 4am in the morning where I decided to just open the notes app and start typing away a blog post. If you're wondering why I'm awake at 4am. No I haven't just woken up. I actually haven't slept yet. Mostly been watching the most random YouTube videos. I started watching some creepy and scary videos (which I don't know why I thought that was a good idea before bed) so then I decided to watch funny movie commentary videos to take my mind off it. Although I've had to try not to laugh so loudly because it was the middle of the night. So yeah that's pretty much what I've been doing. I thought I'd take a break to type this post out. Also another reason why I was awake at 4am, I took a four hour nap during the day. I don't know what's up with me. My sleeping pattern has been kind of crazy recently. I've been having the weirdest, realistic dreams which makes me feel weird. Also I've just been tired, I guess because my ...

As I did my morning routine yesterday, I thought I'd share my night routine today. This isn't a typical night routine as usually it gets switched up depending on what I'm doing that day but this is just my night routine on this particular evening. My evening starts with dinner. I decided to have a ready meal which is macaroni cheese. I like to cook ready meals in the oven over the microwave because I find it tastes so much better plus makes the cheese a little bit more crispy. While I enjoy my macaroni cheese, I watch Hell's Kitchen (US). No surprise there. Once I'm finished with my dinner, it's time to do the washing up. It's just a part of life and needs to be done everyday especially when you're an adult. When I'm finished with the washing up, I go upstairs to my bedroom and do some writing as I had a bit of inspiration for my novel and had to write it down. I continue to watch Hell's Kitchen on my TV while I write. N...
