Nearly halloween!

Ello, ello, ello! It is very nearly halloween! which means sweets from trick or treating, halloween costumes&makeup, movies, scary stuff, and much more! I am very excited for all this, and what not better to do than write a blog post about it! None of my own halloween photos will be here, as it is not yet halloween, most of these will be taken of Pinterest, and one will be a photo of a pumpkin I carved a couple of days ago, however it is taken on my phone, so don't be shocked about the quality of the photo. I cannot take a better one now with a camera as the pumpkin is rotting away, and has found itself in the bin. Any how lets begin!

Halloween is one of those times of the year (apart form christmas) when you can snuggle up with a good movie, after you have been out in the cold trick or treating. I prefer the "classic" disney halloween movies, as I don't watch horror. These movies are actually scary at times, and funny...but anyway, who doesn't want some disney?! Some of the movies:
Hocus pocus...who has not watched this? It's the old classic!


Twitches, this one always used to be on disney channel around this time of the year!
Don't look under the bed, was again playing on disney channel near halloween every year. Don't tell me that, that^^^ is not scary haha.



What is your favourite halloween scent?
I'm actually one of those people that doesn't mind the smell of pumpkins, of course it has to be a fresh pumpkin. I also love the smell of caramel apples, or a smell of a fresh orchard of apples.

So it is time to show you my "brilliant" carved pumpkin:


Aka "don't be jealous!"





I don't really know what to myself think of this blog post, It's basically me, and my movies, and my pumpkin. However next week I will be photographing my halloween makeup look! See you then!

Favourites

Today I thought to share some favourites with you guys! Not necessarily September favourites but I guess most of them are anyway. I briefly snapped a couple photos of them, here to show you today.


My first favourite is a lip product, baby lips. I have mentioned baby lips before in my baby lips review. In the summer a new one has been added to the collection, "baby lips dr. rescue, coral crave" but surprisingly, especially in the last week the one I have been loving the most is the mint fresh one. This was one of my least favourites in my review, but I have recently discovered that it makes my lips so smooth and moisturised, without the horrible tangly feeling, it is still very fresh which I love at the moment.


The next thing is also a lip product (surprise, surprise.) It is the collection 2000 " love your lips" with SPF20 (great for the summer) and it is in the colour Honeybunch 4. The colour of this lipgloss does remind me a lot of summer, and summery colours, but I think you could get away with it in autumn, as it is also quite a rosy orangey colour (sort of). It adds a lovely colour on your lips as well as moisturising them, and making them feel smooth...not mentioning the smell, which is heavenly.


Next for a book favourite, it's the hunger games, Mockingjay. I have had many attempts to read this, but at the time I was getting bored really easily of it, and I found myself picking up another book instead, However this time I am really enjoying it, and finding it gripping...currently only a quarter through the book, but I'm getting there.
Face wash and moisturiser at the moment is the simple triple action.  I love simple because it contains natural ingredients, and feels really fresh on my skin. It has also cleared it up as I have had a break out recently, and it has pretty much gone. Recommend this for sensitive skin.


Yet another lip product! Cocoa butter, vaseline. I have been applying this to my lips before bed, and waking up with soft and smooth lips, I love this, and generally the smell of the cocoa butter.



Pinterest! I know I already did a blog post about it, but again I'm loving it, especially around this time of the year.
Plants have been a favourite of mine! Ive had this one from April...so I guess quite long, and it died in the summer, it all dried out, so I decided to cut of all the dead stems and leaves, make sure I watered it, and it had sunlight, (I did this at the end of the summer holidays) It is now October, and BAM look at it now...a healthyish plant lol.


My last favourite, is a shampoo, that I have only used once, but it is the Garnier, ultimate blends, with royal jelly and honey! The smell of this is amazing and my hair feels so soft, and looks great, also stays fresh longer.

Thankyou for reading my favourites, if you want any more, give me a follow! Gooooooddddbyyyeee. x x  x

little bits

Hey! Today I took some random photos of things around my house like a part of my bedroom, or living room, a candle etc...and I thought I could include them in this blog post! But before I do, can I just point out that autumn has officially begun, I cannot express my excitement. :)Anyway I hope you enjoy...
So here is my owl...obviously its not real but it's a soft teddy like owl, made out of lots of "florally" patterned materials! I absolutely love it, and it goes really well with my room! I do not know where it is from, as my grandma got it me, but my duvet is also floral (join the floral squad) and it is from Primark. I like my room in bright colours, and floral patterns.

Going along with the owl theme (I love owls) I here just lined up three owls. The one that you can barely see at the back, is a money box owl from paper chase, the second from front is a candle owl, which I don't burn because it melts the owls face :( and that's from the range. And then the owl right at the front is this ceramic owl, that you can hang somewhere, I don't know where that's from. I love little ornaments like this, and I mostly get them in white, because that's what goes best.

These are two small candles from Marks & Spencers, that you put a tea light in, I love the design of these! These just sit in the living room, but you could spread them around the house to keep this candle theme going, and you could also change the tea lights from normal white ones to sweet smelling ones, and mix it up a bit. 


This candle is also from M&S and it is running out, because it is so nice! I never thought of ginger as a nice scent for a candle, but because this is a ginger and grapefruit candle (I know you can't see the bottom) it's such a nice scent! It's nice and floral, but not too sweet, very fresh, but cozy at the same time, it's perfect!

This is just a "fragment" (Elly's keywords) of my living room, I love how the brick wall looks and, it's just so cozy! (yes that is me, and Fiona, and my brother lol) 

So I love globes! (fact of the day) I would love it if I had a globe in pastel colours but yannoe. This used to be my globe, but I don't think it goes with my room anymore, so it is now in my brothers room.

I don't really know what I was thinking about this post, but I hope you enjoyed reading it! If you want me to show you more then comment down below and give me a follow! bye! x x x

Autumn questions

Greetings. Another autumnal post! I decided to merge a variety of questions from lots of different "fall tags" and answer them all in this post.(again any photos I post, are not mine...but as I said last time I will be doing some autumn photography soon.)

1) What's your favourite seasonal drink?
I'm a tea lover all year round, and especially around the colder time of the year, so any tea, but defiantly hot chocolate! I am hoping to try a "white chocolate hot chocolate" soon!

2)What do you like to wear when it's cold (coat,hat&glove wise) ?
For my coat, I wear a parker coat, I got from h&m last year,so I don't think it will be in stock, as h&m changes a lot, but other than that I love big cozy scarfs, and gloves, not a huge fan of hats, and I'm not comfortable in ear muffs.

3)What are your favourite things to listen to at autumn?
My music taste pretty much stays the same all year round other than at christmas, and I do start listening to christmas music about half way through autumn, lol.

4)What do you love most about autumn?
See my last blog post for that. ;)

5)What signifies the starts of autumn for you?
The leaves, when they start changing colour, and falling, first crunch of a leaf.
6)Favourite autumn scent?
Candles, crispness of air, apples, baking, anything warm and cozy.

7)Favourite autumn colour?
Oranges, warm yellows, burgundy, dark greens, browns.

8)What do you love doing in autumn?
Going on long walks where you come back with rosy cheeks and a red nose , to a cozy home, and blankets.:)

Quite a short blog post today, but I enjoyed making it! See you next time!

Pinteresting...

Hello. I yesterday made my Pinterest account; I had a previous one, about a year ago, but back then I didn't really know the use for Pinterest, I just had it for the sake of having it really. But I made an account yesterday and I have been loving it lots and lots.
If you don't know what Pinterest is, it's a social networking site, where you can create your own boards, which can be named anything really, so each board has it's own topic for example, hair, or autumn, and in that board you can either upload your own photos to do with that topic or "pin" somebody else's post onto your board, so it's just a very organised way of storing inspiration. I don't think that's a great way of describing Pinterest, but you get the idea, I would recommend you to download Pinterest or make an account as it is really fun! (also no-body really uses Pinterest to "socialise" it's just used for the "pinning" sake.)
So far I have boards for, Autumn, Christmas, Halloween, flowers, quotes and desserts.
I especially love Pinterest around this time of the year, so if you want to check it out here's a link, make sure to give me a follow https://www.pinterest.com/alicja0660/
I just thought of writing this quick post, not to advertise Pinterest, but to show my "love" for it, haha.
Thank you very much for reading. Gooooooddbyyyyee. x x x
