10 Things That Made Me Happy This Month #10

12/4/2017

Well, first of all apologies I am a little late with this post - It's been a busy few weeks (what's new!?) and I'm behind on pretty much EVERYTHING in life (Including I'm a Celebrity, which is obvs top priority, yano?). I had a rather lovely November, so I thought I'd best share that with you, I love writing these posts because they leave me smiling - I especially love this months because there are so many photos to share, it's basically my month in photos! Here are the things I loved in November...

One: Walks in the Woods
We had spent a couple of Sundays in November walking around the local lake and then heading to the cute cafe situated nearby. Is there anything better than a crisp fresh air walk, followed by a snuggly hot chocolate? I think not!

Two: Nottingham - Hockley Arts Club
We went out for drinks in Nottingham for my friends birthday and came across this GORGEOUS bar! It looked SO effective and I knew I had to share it with you Instagram lovers!!

Three:Percy & Reed Dry Instant Volumising Spray:
You've probably heard me harp on about this brand a million times before, but honestly every time I try something new from them, it becomes my favourite thing! The Volumising Spray has become my BESTIE for the festive party season, I spray it at my roots, give my hair a bit of a wiggle and ta da - it's got a bit of life and volume in it! I can't stop using it!Get yours here.

Four: Learning New Words #WordOfTheDay
I know I sound like a fully fledged geek right now, but we started a new thing at work called "Word of the Day". The team get an e-mail each day with a word we might not have heard of before and the definition. It's actually been really fun learning new words, and then trying to implement them in life!

Five: Icing Class with the Biscuiteers
I was invited by M&S to an Icing Class at the Biscuiteers In Notting Hill (Find out more here). It was SO much fun and I couldn't recommend it more! You can see more about the Icing Classes they offer here - it would make a fabulous Christmas Present! We Iced Gingerbread houses and the prosecco/snacks were FLOWING! It couldn't have been a better evening! Thanks for having me M&S.

Six: London at Christmas
I was lucky enough to spend some time in London towards the end of November. There is honestly something SO magically about London at Christmas time. All the beautiful lights across Regent Street and the gorgeous tree in St Pancras (see below). I left feeling SO festive!

Seven: Bicester Village Ladies Day:
Every year we go on an annual Ladies day to Bicester Village! It always marks the start to my Christmas shopping and it never fails to involve lots of laughs, drink and of course shopping!!! We had such a good day, as always! Roll on next year!

Eight: Festive Comfort Food
Is there anything better than the food that comes with Christmas time? I will accept anything warm and gooey - thannnnnk you! Especially like the Camembert I had at Bicester below. What's your favourite comfort food at Christmas?

Nine: The White Company: Mulled Wine Candle
I picked up one of these little beauty's at Bicester Village and oh how I wish I had picked up more! It fills my kitchen with a festive dreamy smell, and it also looks super pretty on display! I plan on keeping the glass afterwards to put cotton pads in on my dressing table!

Ten: Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula
As soon as winter hits my skin seems to instantly turn DRY! The last month I have been LATHERING on the Palmers Daily skin therapy which soothes and feeds my super dehydrated skin. It seems to be the only thing that really gives my skin the moisture it needs, and a bonus is that it smells amazing. I also gave the Enzyme Mask a try this month, which left my skin feeling clear, soft and refreshed! And if you don't fancy treating yourself, I think they would also make a great stocking filler!
