My December Favourites

-

 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 month, so picking a favourite is going to be rather difficult...I really liked The Holiday, Juno, and The Notebook. Actually, maybe The Notebook was my favourite movie I've seen this month. I'm a huge romantic!!


I've actually got the book, which I haven't read yet, so I plan to read that next...hopefully. 


Song: Easy...the song I have had on repeat a lot this month has been "The Sound Of Silence" by Pentatonix. 



Snack: My mum's homemade mince pies, Lindt chocolate, Reese's Mini Peanut Butter Cups...

App: Instagram (It's the app I use the most...all the time..) and TikTok. TikTok is so addicting, I could be on there watching videos for ages. I am yet to post any of my own videos...

Item of clothing: I have basically being living in my new H&M pyjama t-shirt and comfy clothes...and my fluffy winter socks. 



Beauty Products: 

 I had a L'Occitane en Provence advent calender this year, as well as my chocolate ones, and this was one of the goodies inside it. My hands get really dry in the winter and this has helped a bit with that. 

 I use this lip balm a lot, and I also always have it in my bag when I go out. 

 I have also used this roll on perfume a lot. I rarely get roll on perfume but it's been perfect to just slip in my bag when I go out. 




Youtuber: This month I have watched Mark Ferris, Zoe Sugg's Vlogmas videos, and Alfie Deyes...as well as a couple other youtubers but those have been the main ones. I actually watch Netflix more than Youtube. 

Drink: It's been the Christmas holidays so I have had a couple glasses of wine but my go to drink this month has been coffee, when at home, a couple times I have had a hot chocolate made with melted chocolate too. If I go out then I love going to Starbucks and having a Toffee Nut Latte...that has been my favourite Starbucks Holiday Drink this year. 

Recipe: I haven't really done much baking recently, but I have made a couple of hot chocolates, like I mentioned. I am not a huge hot chocolate fan but as we have had a lot of chocolate in our house recently I have been enjoying melting some into some hot milk....then of course topping it with some whipped cream. Delicious!! 

Scent: I know it isn't really wintery but I have been burning an Apple and Cinnamon candle in my room and it smells amazing. But if something more wintery then I think I would have to say either gingerbread or fresh mince pies straight out of the oven. 

What have been some of your favourites this month?

Avengers: Endgame|| My Thoughts & Ratings 🍿

Not that long ago I would have very quickly turned down watching this sort of movie because I was so sure I wouldn't be interested in them, and I used to be very particular about the films I liked to watch.But with a lot of pushing from my dad and brother, and comments about movies from one of my best friends, I finally gave in and decided to give them a try. And I for sure had been missing out, even though I haven't seen many of them yet at all. But because of this I now have a lot of movies I need to catch up on, so if anyone is up for a long movie night hit me up!  I haven't seen any of the other Avengers movies, because of my selective choices of movies, so I must admit I was a little lost in some parts of the movie as they referenced the previous movies in this one. But I really enjoyed the movie, and I really need to watch the others. It's always entertaining going to the cinema, but I wasn't expecting to actually enjoy the movie as much as I did. And even t...

Lost In Paris?! - Storytime

I can't remember the year I went to this school, but I went to a school near to where I live which was bilingual. There were students from across Europe but most students were Swiss. I didn't like my main class teacher very much but I am not going to be talking about class. Instead, today, I am going to talk about our school trip to Paris, France. The French class I was in my brother was part of too, which had its positives and negatives, which I also won't go into but our class was small because we were one of the "learning french as foreign students" class. So, for this camp there were about six students and my main class teacher came along too, of course, and my English teacher, which was not the same English teacher as my brother. This trip is actually the first time ever I went to Paris, and so far the only time I have ever been. And the visit did not go very well because a lot went wrong. The whole trip was also done in just two days, as far as I r...

Saving The Stranger| Short Story (Part One)

-
It was a warm spring day and outside the birds were singing. Jessica stood alone in the cold and dim underground station, after spending the Saturday morning shopping, in London, with her friends, and waited for the train to come. The world seemed to be at peace, but Jessica felt strange, as if something bad was about to happen. Something bad. She just couldn't think what it was.  Suddenly, just as the train was pulling in, Jessica saw a flicker of something black to the right side of her. She shrugged, and got onto the packed train.  Surprisingly, she found an empty seat beside a young man, of about twenty. He was wearing a navy blue cap and a black coat, which was strange as it was rather too warm to be wearing a coat. He was reading the Daily Mirror newspaper, and seemed to be very interested in it as he did not look up once. But as she looked at the young man, she was sure she had seen him before. Somehow, he did not look like one of those men that worked in London. He l...
