Favourite things: Music

I have to post about my favorite Musician at the moment....

Landon Austin is a you tuber, and an amazing musician.

I have been following him for a while now, and i just wanted to say he does awesome covers, and his own music's really good too. (and hes really handsome.... oops i did i say that out loud...)

Check out his channel here - Click

Here are a few of my favourite video's of his..

He also has a vlog channel, and i gotta say, hes pretty cute. I find him a little bit addictive to watch just because he's so cheesey and cute at the same time. Ohhhh Landon why you gotta be so cute.

November 5th: Bonfire night!

Remember: Fireworks are dangerous! BE SAFE EVERYONE!♥

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We went out for Bonfire night on saturday to a local park, as we arrived we saw the procession of people who had walked up the hill past Farnham Castle, ready to light the bonfire.

We paid our entry fee, and then went inside and bought some hot fresh donuts... Yum! (They did crepes with nutella too.. bit hard to eat though with gloves on!)

We then went to join in the count down for the bonfire to be lit... it went like this '5..4...3...2...1' - darkness.... then a few mins later it finally lit! haha

It went up in flames really quick, which was quite freaky. It was lovely and warm though considering i was so cold i had a pink knitted trapper hat on, jumpers, coat and mikes gloves on.

We had half an hour to find a nice spot for the fireworks, so we decided to get some food and snacks en-route across the muddy field, oh and also get some Bonfire lit pictures of us!

So first we decided Hot chesnuts were a must, they were SO good, and kept my hands lovely and warm!

We queued for about 20mins and got food, i had chips, mike had a burger and we got a drink to share and it was £6.50!!!

Finally after we were robbed for food the fireworks began!

And to finish the night off ready for the walk to the car...

Blue CANDY FLOSS!!!!

It was a really nice evening, havent been to a firework display in years and it made me feel very wintery... ♥

Countdown to Xmas now! eek.

Review: Revlon Just bitten Kissable

I bought this on a wim on a recent shopping trip it was £5.99 from Boots, and i bought it in the colour in 'Cherish' .

Cherish

The easiest way to explain this is that its like a lip balm, its minty when you apply, but yet this actually stays put... once the initial balm goes the colour stays on your lips. This is SO worth the price.

Oooh i love its chubbyness.

All you do is twist the silver end of the pencil to push more balm up, and i think it would last quite a while too. Im already planning on getting another one, i am looking at getting a more 'everyday' colour as this is pretty bright on me, which dont get me wrong i love it, but im not a barbie pink kinda Gal for work. :)

Puuuurdy Pink ♥

You can buy it in Boots for £5.99 at the moment... Its worth it!

My 25th Year on the planet...

Sorry... How old.. where did the last 10 years go?

It was my 25th Birthday yesturday, i dont know how i feel about being 25... I kind of feel grown up, mature, but also immature and Young... its a mixture of feelings really. I sometimes feel i havent accieved anything in my life, then i feel like i have... Im married, have my own property, have dogs, have a good job.. But then i think, well i dont have a Full driving licence, i dont have kids, I havent been on all the holidays i want, or have the Salary i want. I guess we can never have everything we want in the time scale we want, but at the end of the day you will suceed at some point if you put your mind to it. Thats way i see it any way... and that makes me feel better about being 25.

I went out to an all you can eat chinese and Indian buffet called Mimosa which was so nice! There was alot more of us than in the picture above but they had left already by the time we went. I had a really nice Cocktail 'Lynchburg Lemonade'

Spilt some of it, then forgot to take a pic until i had practically finished it!

Its basically Jack daniels, Triple Sec Lemonade and Lime, and its totally yummy!

My food was even yummier...

Buffet's always make you eat random foods.

I decided to buy a new top with my Birthday Money, i went to Newlook and had an awful experience trying to try some tops on... apparently they were 'Too busy' to let me try anything on and couldnt provide good customer service by manning the fitting rooms... o_O

Here is what i wore for my b-day night out...

Tops was £8 in Newlook sale, Legging were from Next, Pauls boutique bag was a present & Marks and spencer shoes were also a present.

Newlook Necklace £5.99 ♥

I had such an amazing night with the best people, i got some lovely cards and gifts. ♥

Opened my laptop to find this note from Mike :) ♥

I have such awesome family... or do i?

The Little mermaid card looks so lovely and innocent on the front.. but on the inside it says

'Happy birthday to a real Trash bag' ... Good job they made up for it with an amazing present! haha

My all time love... Music edition

I have always loved Maroon 5, since the day i first heard This Love, and Harder to Breathe... i was finding it hard to breathe!!!

Im renound for loving Maroon 5, in my first job i took the CD to work and listened to it whilst i was typing away all day everyday for at least a week... until my boss was like... Seriously put something else on! hehe

I also found the channel of Joey Graceffa who is a friend of Luke and Ingrids, he is so cute, (in a little brother way... i have to say that in case the husband is reading! haha) He loves all things Anime and especially Totoro Anime in Japan. I like his quirky videos, and his grandpa voice.. But i also like it when he does serious video's about his childhood.

So there is a round up of some of my favourites, I could have posted more but i went with the people who are regular posters. You should deffo go check them all out as they are all a good watch!

Fruity Nails

I managed to get new Nail varnish by Collection 2000, called 'Fruit Salad'

I love the Hot Looks fast dry nail varnishes, there perfect as i cant smudge them. They seriously dry quickly which is amazing, you do have to be careful not to paint the second coat on too quick or you get annoying air bubbles, but its so pretttty. ♥

The Fruit salad is like a coral pinky colour i love it.

I also bought another BMX bandit as my other ones gone gloopy so i had to replace it as its my favourite colour.

Not bad for £1.79 each!

Most amazing notebook!

I had an email from Photobox stating i had £5 free credit from referring a friend..(i dont remember doing this, but i was game for a freebie!)

So i decided to try out one of there Notebooks, all i ended up paying was £1.96.

I think they will make lovely gifts for people, i love mine so much i dont want to write in it!

Such a simple thing, but im a total stationary geek and i love this notebook!

My Fav Nail Varnish!

I have been growing my nails for about 9 months now, i stopped about 6 months before the wedding, and haven't bitten them since! so proud of my self :)

Currently my favourite Varnish is Collection 2000, Hot Shots. Mainly because they dry so quick. I cant get on with any other varnish as i always smudge them.

Here is my 'Collection'

My favourite is BMX Bandit as its such a lovely purpley blue colour (2nd from the left) - also pic below.

I pretty much buy one every time i pop into boots at the moment. :) i think there only about £1.79 and there 8ml size.

BMX Bandit - No.32

Big Hair - No.29

Bongo Beats - No.37

Teeny Bikini - No. 42

Ninja - No. 36

Angel Wings - No. 49

So there is my fav Nail Varnishes in a nut shell ... check out the other colours on their website

Youtube steals all my free time!!

I have seriously been addicted to You tube for a while now, i mainly like shopping Hauls or reviews or just peoples Vlogs.

Here are some of my favourite channels at the moment.

Fleur De Force

This is a recent find you tube, i like her Haul video's and its nice to watch another British persons Hauls.

I have now become addicted to www.stylecompare.co.uk and POP make up because of her!

Trisha Paytas

I have been watching Trish for a while now, i found her from a Hello Kitty Haul. She is really sweet, but not for the faint hearted or the very gullable people out there.

I just love the way she has cool stuff, clothes, accessories, she has a crazy funny sense of humour.

AllThatGlitters21

Another Newbie Youtube Love of mine.

I found Elle's blog from Searching for Forever 21 Hauls.

Swalkermakeup

Again i found this youtube channel by searching for primark & forever 21 Hauls. Shes really sweet, has has an awesome room tour.

Well this is my round up of favourites for now.. Hope you like them! ♥

Ooooh me likey

Few things i found and i have to try out!

Pet portrait! -

Love this idea Maybe hard work seeing as both my boys are black and white, and im rubbish at drawing animals... hmm maybe i need to source someone whose good at charactures... etsy here i come..

I was even coinsidering a silohette of the dogs which would be pretty cool...

And, i love these little birds! - Cuteness!

Up, Up and away!

Me and mike did something totally spontaneous ... we went to walk the dogs at 9pm at night, not only was it totally pitch black and freak me out... but it was kinda romantic too. :)

We saw lots of sky lanterns taking off in the distance, and i remembered we had one in the car from my birthday last year, it was ripped and a bit crushed. But i thought what the hell, its only going in the bin otherwise...

It inflated within a minute and was eager to take off...

It floated up in the sky, (and straight off towards Farnborough airport.. ha) took a couple of minutes and it was completly out of sight. It was so nice and peaceful watching it float away, filled up my jar of happiness... :)
