What I'd Like to do This Halloween

I love Halloween and I feel like us British people should celebrate it a lot more. I've always watched those American TV shows and movies and had always loved their ways of putting up their ridiculous amounts of decorations. Here is a list of what I'd like to do this Halloween...

1. Go to a Halloween Party 

Can you believe that I've never ever been to a Halloween party, not even when I was younger. I'm not saying that I want to go to one to dress as a slutty cat etc etc. I just love the idea of dressing up and doing all the fun makeup and SFX, dancing to Halloween music, drinking and having nibbles from Halloween themed plates and cups. 

2. Go pumpkin picking

I really loved the thought of going to a pumpkin patch last year but it was waaay too late, it was like the 29th of October or something ridiculous and most places didn't have any pumpkins left. I usually just buy my pumpkins from Asda but I'm definitely going to a pumpkin patch sometime this week! I already know it will make me feel all Autumnal and Halloweeny, I can't wait.

3. Watch all the Halloween movies and TV shows!

My absolute favourites are Hocus Pocus and Halloweentown, I watch them every year without fail. I remember buying Halloweentown from eBay a while back, it was bloody hard to get hold of! I'll also probably have a scroll through Netflix too and see if there's any Halloween horrors on there. AND Stranger Things comes back to Netflix towards the end of the month. If you haven't yet seen it, you definitely should start.

4. Stock up on Halloween Luxury
Of course Lush is included in this one. I love the Halloween range from Lush and I always want to buy the whole range, but it works out to be hella expensive. Sometimes I wish my birthday was in October. Also, I have started my collection of Autumnal candles and Halloween candles, without a doubt, they're the best candles of the year.

Do you love Halloween as much as I do? What do you want to do this year?

6 Things I Tell Myself Over & Over Again...

1. DON'T CARE ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF YOU

I tell myself this ALL the time, obviously, I don't listen to myself enough. I care about what people think of me so much, I always have. I'm always worried about people judging me on how I look or what I'm wearing. I shouldn't let that get to me at all.

2. DON'T WORRY ABOUT EVERYTHING

I am a huge worrier. I worry about anything and everything that's going on.

3. FORGET THE PAST

 I constantly bring back memories and wonder how I could've done things differently, and how I could've changed what I was doing at the time. But, there's no point getting yourself down about the past. It can't be changed, just move on and focus on the future.

4. STOP TRYING TO PLEASE PEOPLE

I've tried to please people my whole life. Let's be honest, who hasn't? Not everyone will like you, so don't try your hardest to please them. Just be yourself. They'll either like you as you are or they won't. Simple.

5. DON'T DO ANYTHING YOU DON'T WANT TO DO

This makes you seriously unhappy, trust me. Don't do it because someone says you have to. Don't do it because you think you have to. If you don't want to do something, then don't do it.

6. YOU'RE STRONG
I have been through so much in my life, and most of the tough times I've had are recent. When I'm having a down day, I have to tell myself that I am strong and that I will get through it, eventually.


I tell myself these six things all the time, but I just can't seem to adapt to them. I'm so much better than I was, and that's the main thing. I am determined to overcome them, hopefully the new year will be it.

Things I Want To Do This Autumn+Winter

Oh, hello October!
October is one of my favourite seasons, it embarks the dark mornings, dark evenings, the colder weather and wrapping up in blankets... I could go on. So, I've made a list of things I want to achieve this A/W.

1. Starting an Autumn/Winter wardrobe. You don't know how long I've been waiting for the A/W weather. I've been patiently waiting to cosy up in blankets, throw on jumpers and buy lots more boots. Yeah, like I really need more boots. I adore Autumn and Winter fashion, I can't stop pinning cute outfits on my Pinterest board. If only I could pin those outfits straight into my wardrobe.

2. Exercise more. It got to Christmas last year and I didn't want to eat any Christmas pudding, sausage rolls, homemade Christmas biscuits or those chocolates out of a tub of Heroes because I wasn't proud of my body at that time. When I start a fitness routine, I never manage to keep it up. So, I'll probably have to make myself a timetable type thing to go by. This past week I have actually started working out, so I can slowly cross this one off my list.

3. Get my YouTube channel rolling. So far, being a fairly newbie youtuber, I have only managed to get two videos up. I'd like to make a lot more and that's something I'd like to do this A/W. Especially as Halloween and Christmas are coming up, I'm looking forward to doing some Halloween tutorials and Christmas DIYs.

4. Start drinking 'holiday' drinks from either Starbucks or Costa. After everyone had been raving about the pumpkin spiced latte from Starbucks, I eventually tried one the other day and ended up loving it. I'm not usually a fan of hot drinks but I prefer them a lot more in the colder weather.

5. Start making goals. Not just for my blog but for other things in my life too. It makes me much more motivated and makes me happy when I reach them goals.
