Mini Primark Haul
Today me and my mum went shopping before i had an appointment, and we obviously went into Primark. I came to the conclusion that i need more bottoms and shoes, as i only ever pick up tops when i go shopping, and i noticed i only live in leggings and two pairs of shoes, because they go with everything so i stuck to them. I was slightly successful on this shopping trip, my aim was to get some shoes and bottoms and a door stop, as especially when we have the windows open when it's hot, my door goes berserk. I ended up with a door stop, two pairs of shoes, a pair of leggings, a throw and new flannels. A bit of a random selection but oh well :)

Car Boot Sale Haul
Usually on Sundays we go round my Nanny's, but seeing as she's away we thought we'd go to the car boot sale and see what we can find. The weather held out and although it was super windy, the sun was shining. And as i said how much i love the rain, i didn't want it to rain on everyone's things because that wouldn't be so good. Also, i wore a jumper out and i didn't get too hot. Autumn is definitely on the way :)
Rain was forecast so not many people turned up to sell, and it only took up half the field. I was looking for cute trinkets to store things like jewellery and makeup in, i saw quite a few bits and pieces actually, but they were either chipped or ridiculously over priced. £8 for a vintage plate? No way. I ended up walking away with three things from the same person and i'm a bit gutted i didn't pick up more, as now i can't decide what to use them for. I think they're super cute, and i think i'm going to put makeup brushes in the tall navy vase, studs on the pink coaster and i'm not sure what in the green trinket.
*I started this post yesterday (Sunday), unfortunately i didn't finish it off as i developed and crippling migraine with sickness, erggghhhh. It's 14:55pm Monday and i've only just began to look at a computer screen for more than 10 seconds. Fun times :)

New Start.
Welcome to my brand new blog!
I decided to make a new blog to coincide with my YouTube channel, plus i wasn't totally happy with my old blog. I was going to wait until the start of August to keep my blog archive looking tidy, but i thought what the heck.
Over the last 3-4 weeks, we've had a major heatwave in the UK, reaching 90% humidity and 32 degrees C. I HATED IT. I am definitely and Autumn/Winter girl, and today has marked the END of the heatwave, which basically means to me the start of Autumn. Right now, you'd think it's winter. Normally, i would be complaining, but during the heatwave, i made myself promise to never hate the cold or the rain ever again. Don't get me wrong, i love the sun, i just hate the heat. Spring sun will do me fine. I suppose that makes me perfect material for living in England, seeing as everyone complains about the poopy weather, of which i shall never complain about again!
It is CHUCKING it down outside, everyone is moaning on Twitter and Facebook, but me? I'm currently cosying up in a jumper, with candles lit and sipping hot chocolate. I am so excited for Autumn, and even more excited for Christmas! I know what you're thinking. It's July, what are you thinking woman?! This is exactly what my mum said. But i know I'm not the only one who gets excited like this. I've always been like it. As soon as the sun goes, it's time to get excited for Christmas. Who cares if it's only July, Santa said on Twitter that it's only 151 sleeps! Too far if you ask me ;)
So me and my mum have just got back from Morrisons, where i bought a few tasty Autumn essentials. Firstly, i found this amazing hot chocolate stirrer... It excited me alot. It's basically a lump of chocolate on the end of a spoon which you stir into hot milk, and it makes hot chocolate. Mine is the marshmallow one so it also has marshmallows in the chocolate (plus i think i have whipped cream in the fridge... hot chocolate gallore;)). It just looks delish. I also purchased some candles. One in strawberry and pomegranate and one in vanilla sugar. Both smell yummy. I currently have a strawberries and cream candle burning, oh man the smell.
This was as delish as it looks. Does anyone else spray the whipped cream into their mouths? Haha, i do. And then refill the mug when it has all 'dissolved'. So yummy. This was a welcomed treat after i'd just walked the dog in the pouring rain, which i loved. No one else was out because of the weather but i chucked the wellington boots on, put up the umbrella and trotted off (more people should travel like this, if we were horses). I would walk for miles across the muddy countryside, get home and straight into a hot bath. Now that is what winter is all about. I LOVE IT.
