A chill post on a chill day...
Or should I say 'chilly' day? Because it's finally getting colder in the UK, I love it, and also means Christmas is coming closer... Lol.
I haven't done one of these posts in ages, and much like every life blog post update I read, life has just been a whirlwind of work and trying to see friends.
Soooo, I've decided to give a few lovely things that happened this week along with the blog posts I've enjoyed reading recently. I mean, who doesn't love that kind of post??
Firstly, it's the week before Halloween. *oooooh spooky* And I did a whole host of things to feel all autumnal before the big festive countdown.
I managed to:
- get ingredients for my fave pumpkin pie recipe
- open my last tube of Zoella Beauty gingerbread hand cream *cries*
- watch pretty much the whole season of The Haunting of Hill House - which is amazingly gripping, creepy and just addictive
It was also Halloween dress up at work this weekend (fyi I work for Lush) so of course I HAD to go as one of my fave Christmas scents. Snow Fairy! The pic below shows off my costume which was a combo of a favourite makeup look, Claire's kids accessories and Barry M face jewels.
I had so much fun and it was basically my kind of Halloween party.

- This one was uploaded today and comes from the queen that is Jaye who gives a few rituals you can do on Sunday to prepare for the week ahead...
- If you're a coffee fiend like me, then you'll love this post from Rachel who talks about Berlin's best coffee. Oooh.
- I really loved this post from Corrie who discussed what she's learnt in the four years of being self employed. Some of them I think everyone can carry on into their own hobbies I think.
- Ioanna from Hearting is back blogging yaaass. And her classic nail blog posts are also back, and I think, like me, you'll be wanting this colour asap too.
How has your week been?

Thank you so much! I'm so happy you enjoyed it! And have a spooky one too!
DeleteI haven't watched the show yet, but the book "The Haunting of Hill House" by Shirley Jackson is AMAZING. It was a required read for an English class I took back in college called Ghosts in Fiction and Folklore. Despite being a required read, I absolutely LOVED it. It was published in the 1950's so if you can get past the language being a little old-timey, it's wonderful. I'm excited to watch the show, but I just know having read the book first, I'm going to be critiquing it the whole time, haha. But I've heard good things so far :)

I really want to read the book, but from what I've read about the book, I don't know how different it is from the show. But I think that it's a good idea to sometimes think books and shows as separate entities. :)
DeleteSuch a lovely post! Happy Halloween!
