October Instagram Favourites



1. Hot drinks, I'm loving vanilla lattes and Belgian hot chocolates at the moment! 2.Messy buns, although summer's over, I'm still wearing my hair in one of these a lot of the time! 3. Dark nails! YES. I've never been a fan of black, but a balance between brown black and purple creates this gorgeous classy look. 4. Ed Sheeran at Hammersmith! I saw him there the other night. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! 5. This woman, ugh. She is incredible at eye makeup. She's called 'queenofblending' on instagram, follow her! 6. Funky nails, always a good look. 7. Halloween cookies, so cute! Definitely going to whip up a batch myself soon... 8. I have no idea who she is, but I love what she's wearing and her overall look, jealous!

So this month's been a tad hectic, hence the lack of posts! I've recently started writing for my boyfriend's magazine, CheerUp, and I've had a big part in it recently. At current I write a TV article on a recent drama series or reality series. But just last week I went to Birmingham to interview Newton Faulkner, so since then I've been writing up the interview! I always loved English at school a little more than the majority of people, but I never did anything with it! So writing for CheerUp has made me remember just how much I love it. I always said to myself one day I'd write a book based on 'events' in my life, just twisted a little so it wasn't too personal. Who knows, could happen one day! But in the mean time I'm working at Next. Retail's a good place for me if I decide to go into Visual Merchandising, but if I take the Journalism route, I think I'm possibly in the wrong place! So I'm continuing to email CV's and apply for writer positions, not easy when you only have a month's experience! But hey ho, I'll get there.

Never been a fan of the idea of sixth form or uni, so I'm doing it the hard way and working my way up from nothing! Gotta give it a go right? Other than that, I'm contemplating trying out some new makeup looks, as it's been MONTHS since I qualified as makeup artist, but unfortunately due to funding issues I haven't been able to pursue it just yet! In other words, I need money for a CAR. Ugh. Why insurance is so expensive I'll never know, it's a joke. But once I've saved enough to get a car I will certainly be making the most of it!

Christmas. Even the word is exciting me right now. It's only October 21st and I'm itching to go and put up the tree and stuff myself full to the brim with quality street choccies. There's a chocolate orange that's practically screaming at me to be eaten, along with a hot chocolate and baileys... with the mini marshmallows. But that'll just have to wait, hmph. I'm even craving egg nog, I hate egg nog!? This week I'm working a ridiculous amount for what's meant to be a six hour contract (not complaining, money's good, but I wanna blooooog!). So I apologise for the lack of it all guys! But I have been planning a few 'seasonal' lifestyle related posts, so fear not.

Who else is excited for Christmas?!

What do you think to my instagram pictures?
