London Adventures

Last weekend, I went to London with some amazing people. I had such a great time and i now have so many new friends, memories and experiences.
Here are some of the things we did:

Sightseeing
  We saw so many amazing things in London, like:
-Buckingham Palace
-all of the monuments and big fountains
-The London Eye
-Big Ben

Shopping
  We got to do alot of shopping in London whilst we were there. We shopped around Covent Garden, Borough Market and Oxford Street, as well as mamy other places. I picked up a few things here and there, and went to places like Urban Outfitters and Forever 21, as there aren't many of them near where I live.
I also went to other shops including the good old Primark, Topshop, New Look, and a famous toyshop named Hamleys, which was rather busy!

STARBUCKS
  Of course, the trip wouldn't have been complete without the odd trip to Starbucks! My new favourites include the Chocolate Cream, although I am yet to try the Gingerbread Latte!

The Theatre
  We made 2 visits to the theatre to see performances of the Woman In Black and Spamalot, which were both enjoyable. I would reccommend them both, although Spamalot is alot more "Adult Appropriate" than it seems..!

And...

Amongst her things the other highlights of the trip were:
Getting a taste of culture in the Borough Food Market
Having a guided tour of Shakespeare's Globe
Having a nice meal at Pizza Hut
Buying lots of lovely things& having an amazing expirience.

Bonfire Night



Bonfire night with Emily, Emma, Jess, Aidan, Hannah and Fraser

This year for bonfire night, I went to a fireworks display with EmilyJess, Jessica, Emma  Hannah, Aidan Adam, Rory, Charlie, Jed, Niamh, Sophie, Caitlin, Fraser, Jack, Brooke and others.
It was a really good night; we watched the fireworks, went to Hannah's house, took loads of photos and videos and just had a really fun time.

Halloween! | Favourites, Photos, Costume & Makeup

This year on Halloween, I decided to dress up with all of my friends and go out! I dressed as a modern zombie-like girl... typical me.
Here are some of my highlights from Halloween this year:



Spooky Decor & Pumpkin Carving
One of my favourite things about Halloween is getting the house to look all spooky ready for the trick-or-treaters to come! This year we went for spider webs, skull lanterns, fairy lights and, of course, a pumpkin! Most people find the smell of pumpkin rather unpleasant, but its one of my favourite Halloween smells!




Candles
I am a candle-obsessive freak, ok. I'm also going to purchase some incense sticks for my room I just love all of the indie smells they give off; they're just so perfect to get in the autumnal mood for Halloween!




Costume & Halloween Make-Up
Like i said, this year for Halloween, i dressed up as a modern-day zombie. Which basically ended up with me dressed in normal clothes with black fishnet, lace, black hearts under my eyes, red lipstick, and other Halloween features. I also put green, orange and red in my hair using Emily's hair chalks. Its a shame that I couldn't do much else on my face as my skin does not react well with most heavy eye makeup or eyeliner.
I was also torn between red, purple or orange lipstick, but in the end I opted for red - like the colour of blood!

we were obsessed with those lips sweets.


I hope you enjoyed reading about my Halloween favourites. And if I've inspired you to do something for next Halloween then that's great too!

What are your Halloween favourites?
