  I thought I would share some of my favourites from this month.... TV Show: I always go back and re-watch FRIENDS, and  I really got into Rick and Morty (after starting to watch it with my boyfriend).  Book: I have been finding it really difficult to get into books recently. I also find it really hard to read multiple books at the same time and as I am studying Literature this year on The Open University and have to read books for that I haven't  really been reading any other books but last time I was at my boyfriend's place he had to go out for a couple hours and when he was out I started reading "Finding Audrey"  by Sophie Kinsella and got really into it. I read the whole book in 3 days, which is the fastest I've read a book in ages.  I have also been into the Popshot magazine, which is a magazine of short stories and poetry. I love reading the stories from those...even though they don't count as books.  Film: I have watched a number of movies this ...

 I hope you all had a good Christmas, even though I am sure things were very different this year than it has been for previous years.  My Christmas Day consisted of a lot of delicious food, made by my mum, sister and brother in law, Christmas songs played on full volume, a lot of excitement from my little niece, card games, and trying to watch a movie which didn't go very well... And we all ate so much chocolate. We still have so much chocolate left. I think we will have enough chocolate for many weeks to come. We didn't have a snowy Christmas Day, but I hear that there is meant to be snow over the following days. I just hope there won't be tons of snow when I go back to work because I don't fancy walking through the snow or along the icy roads.  And this was our homemade Christmas Pudding, made by my mum, which we ended our evening with. It was delicious!!  Hmmm...thinking about it now, I really want some more!!            ⛄ Oh, and thi...

 I love shopping. Maybe I love it a little too much. I thought I would share some of the things I have brought recently, maybe it will help you find some last minute gifts for your friends and family for Christmas, or maybe a gift for yourself. Anyway, let's just get started with my "little" haul...  My two loves: Starbucks & Shopping.   The Body Shop: Lush: -I really shouldn't have done this over my bed. The first one was so glittery and it got on my cover and all over my hands...- H&M: The red and white socks are so fluffy, I love them! I also got a couple sweaters- a yellow one (which I have worn a couple times already), a blue one and a fluffy one... Flying Tiger:  I love this mug so much. I have used it a couple times already. I love big mugs like this. It could be used for hot drinks, obviously, but also could be used as a bowl. It's the perfect mug!! Other small things I got: - Face masks  -Lip Gloss  -Hand Cream -Hot Chocolate Spoons, a...

I haven't been very good with this daily posting thing, have I! I haven't posted in ages...but I'm back and Christmas is next week (where did the time go?!) so I really want to try post as much as I can before then...but no promises.  Today I thought I would share some of my favourite things about Christmas...well the time leading up to Christmas Day... The Christmas Market (which didn't happen this year), the Christmas decorations up around town or outside people's homes. I feel in Switzerland people don't get into decorating the outside of their houses much, well not that I've seen, but I still love seeing what they do put up. I also love all the Christmas themed items in the shops...especially Christmas Sweaters, The Body Shop Products and the Lush festive bath bombs.  The Starbucks Christmas Drinks. I am basically obsessed with Starbucks and I love their Christmas drinks, especially the Toffee Nut Latte. I always get excited for them to come out...even t...

The Snow On My Road, And In My Garden, This First Week  Of December.  In Switzerland there is one thing you always know for sure. When it's winter it is going to snow.  I am not really a fan of snow. I like it when I am inside the house, in the warmth, but I don't really like being out in it because I hate the cold. But I am always taking video clips or photos because it really does look beautiful. A lot of people go skiing or snowboarding around this time of  year. And sledding too. I am terrible at skiing, I always fall and hurt myself or just embarrass myself in front of strangers and I have never been snowboarding. Sledding is ok, but again I don't like being out in the cold.  There are spots close to where I live where you can easily go sledding but you have to go further out, into the mountains, to go skiing or snowboarding.  Starbucks is popular here, like I feel it is in most countries. And of course they have the seasonal Christmas drinks. I love g...

 I wanted to share some activities you could do for your next date. These ideas would also work as things to do with your friends this winter season. I know a lot of things are probably closed because of the current situation we have found ourselves in this year but hopefully some of these can be done where you are.... "Let's Stay In" -Ideas - Bake and decorate cookies -Make gingerbread houses...you could even make it into a contest and see who's is the best. -Snuggle up in warm blankets and have a movie marathon.  Don't forget the snacks! - Have a game night...grab some cards, board games or even pull out the Wii games or video games you haven't played in a while.  -Cook a meal together  -Decorate the Christmas Tree or decorate your house...if you haven't already. - Roast marshmallows and make some Smores.  -Make a hot chocolate, or another wintery drink, and just chat while listening to music "Let's Go Out"- Free Ideas - Make a snowman or s...

I thought I would try do Blogmas this year, which is posting everyday until Christmas.  Let's see how this goes... Today, I thought I would start simple and do the Christmas Tag. Welcomed in the first day of December with the first snow of the year!!   ☃️ I have the Christmas songs playing, let's answer some questions.... 1- What was the best Christmas gift you have ever been given? I think probably my Onesie. I love it. Its purple, soft and warm!! Oh, and my first camera. It's small, red, and really cute. I love that little camera.  2- Be honest: do you prefer giving or receiving gifts better? 100% love giving gifts better.  I love giving gifts to people.  3- Do you open presents on Christmas Eve? We always opened them on Christmas Day, as far as I remember, but we don't do Christmas gifts really anymore. But when with extended family we might be given something and maybe open it when we get them or wait until Christmas.  4- Have you ever made a snowm...

  A couple years ago I downloaded Tinder, the dating app, because I was curious and maybe a little bored. Anyway, I thought I would share a couple of my Tinder stories because why not...I honestly can't really believe I am thinking of sharing this but some of my online friends asked me about my "Tinder Experience" so here you go... Tinder is basically just a hook-up app where most of the users are looking for friends with benefits or a one night stand and that is something I wasn't wanting at all. All I really wanted was maybe talk to a couple people and then leave. I enjoyed talking to some of the guys to begin with but of course I did get a lot of guys expecting to get "some fun" out of it and they obviously weren't very happy when I always turned them down. And I defiantly turned down a lot of guys! There was one guy I matched with, that lived part time in Paris and part time in the city that I live in. We matched, and we started talking but from the ...

I know this is a little late, as it's now October, but here are five movies I watched when in England this summer. I have included the trailers if you want to check them out. Feel free to leave your movie suggestions below, I am always on the hunt for new movies to watch. Anyway, let's get into the list... 1- Ghostbusters (2016)  I watched this the first night we were in England, after a long drive. It was on TV, but I believe it's on Netflix...it's on Netflix in Switzerland anyway. My brother, who was sharing my hotel room with me, actually fell asleep while we were watching it so I was left to watch it alone.  I have often heard the theme song which is very catchy but this was my first time watching the movie. Thinking about it now, I kind of want to watch it again... I know what I might be doing Friday night!! I rate this movie a 3.5/5 2- Jungle  This movie stars Daniel Radcliffe for anyone interested.  This movie is based on a true story, which made this even mor...

Today is my 23rd birthday, so I thought I’d share 23 things I have learnt in my 23 years! 1. Don't change yourself in any way for someone else or to try fit into a group of friends. If people don't accept you for you, then they don't deserve your friendship.   2. Never give up! Life can be really difficult and there are moments when you will feel like you have been hit in the face and you feel like not trying anymore but don't let that stop you. You will have times when you will need to kick and pull your way through but never give up.   3. Don’t try so hard to keep people in your life. If they want to leave then let them go. Holding on will just cause you more pain than is needed. 4. Having no friends can be extremely lonely but it's better than having fake friends who don't appreciate you.   5. Just because you are different it doesn't make you any less important than someone else. In fact, it's good to be different. Don't feel you ...
