Autumn 2016 Tag!

Hey everyone! It's been a wonderful, cold, rainy day - my fave. I'm sat in my cosy house and came across an Autumn tag on Twitter that another blogger had done and thought I would do it for you to embrace the Autumn. I'm calling everything I do related to Autumn, my Autumn rain dance. IT'S COMING, IT'S COMING. 

Do enjoy! 

1. Drinks - What's your favourite seasonal drink from Starbucks?

I really do enjoy a Pumpkin Spice Latte at this time of year, it's just natural. Although, in Ireland we ordered a Pumpkin Spice Frapp - they did not blend this, it was just an iced Latte. It was wanl. 

2. Accessories - What do you option for? Scarf, boots, gloves?

Black. My accessory is black. HAHA, oh my god no I really need to branch out this Autumn and get some cute little autumnal colours in my wardrobe. I need a nice mustard scarf, some dark red gloves, etc, etc. I'll have a look round, perhaps even do an Autumn wish list...

3.  Music - What's your favourite music to listen to during Autumn? 

During Autumn? My music taste does not tend to change with the seasons, but I'm currently obsessed with The 1975s album which I have been for months. I'm sure it'll make me feel 100x more dramatic when it's cold and windy. 

4. Perfume - What's your favourite scent for this time of year? 

Apple and cinnamon at this time of year is a bloody winner, holy moly. I cannot wait to go out and get some candles and sprays for the house in this scent! Back home at my mums she would always by an air freshener in that scent and it would just smell like home. It would smell cosy and I used to love coming home from school/work because it just felt warm with that smell. 

5. Candles - What scents will you be burning this season? 

As previously stated I'm going to go shopping for some cinnamon scented candles shortly! 

6. What do you love most about Autumn? 

I love the cosiness of the cold evenings. I'm strange and I would take cold, windy weather over the sun anyday. (Hello, I have a tattoo of an umbrella and rain) ((I might even get an autumnal leaf shortly, watch me)) I love the colours of the leaves, the crisp morning walks, the warmth of your house when the lights are out and it's just your lamps on. The blankets, the slippers and the cosy pyjamas. Waiting for Halloween knowing Christmas is just around the corner! 

7. Make up - Favourite makeup look? 

Okay, so you know me I don't wear too much make up! But I really have been looking at so many bloggers/instas and see some adorable looks. I'd never be able to pull them off but I can admire from afar. Perhaps I will, but I'll probably stick with my normal look. I woke up like this. 

8. What are you looking forward the most in Autumn? 

I want to make our new home look sweet and Autumn-ey. I want to buy and carve pumpkins with Ry again this year because last year was the first time I've ever done it. I can't wait to take my little dog out for Autumn walks over the park when I go to visit my mum, walks up the lane to work in the rain. Cosy evenings in with warm drinks and blankets! AGH BRING IT TO ME.

I hope you've enjoyed this, if you do the tag let me know I'd love to read your Autumn faves! 

15 Festive Favourites: IT'S (ALMOST) CHRISTMAAAAS.

Hiiiiii! It's kinda, almost Christmas so I wanted to get into the spirit and after watching Tom Fletcher from McFly's v festive video I thought I'd join in (but not on video, I'm not at that level) here we go!

1. Festive food
Pigs in blankets rule so hard and so do parsnips, one year I think my mum forgot to put the parsnips on and I honestly thought Christmas was ruined. Not really, I could never be mad on Christmas even in such a parsnip disaster.

2. Reindeer 
Rudolph is the man.

3. Day of Christmas 
8, 8 mades a milking, weird but free milk in my eyes. NOT LITERALLY IN MY EYES BUT… YOU KNOW.

4. Christmas song
Last Christmas by Wham! When G Michael falls over in the snow in the videos thats when you know Christmas has truly arrived.

5. Christmas present 
I really love all the prezzies me and my brother get in our sacks every year, it's like the best part but he's moved out now so I shall be doing that all alone this year and I'm quite sad about this tradition ending.

6. Christmas film
The Grinch or Elf, I actually really love Christmas with the Kranks and the Santa Clause movies… I LOVE THEM ALL BYE.

7. Christmas cracker toy
A pen, not a toy, but essential.

8. Christmas cracker joke 
None, they all suck sorry bye.

9. Decoration 
We have a really sweet Disney wreath that we've put up every year and I love it.

10. Candle scent 
Cinnamon and apple IS Christmas.

11. Christmas advert 
Coca cola! My dad without fail every year says "funny, saw the coke advert… swear it's meant to be on after Christmas" and I have no idea why he says it but the first time he was dead serious, he's a special one.

12. Festive tradition 
Not a general one but a personal one, it's the way we open our presents, when we were younger it would take hours because my dad says for example "this present is for Shannon love from Nannie" or something then you sit and watch and go on to the next present and I LOVE IT.

13. Place to spend Christmas
Morning and dinner at home, evening at my Nannie and Grandads, boxing day with my Nannie. Always the same, if it's ever different I throw a tantrum.

14. Festive fact 
Yellow snow is really gd.

15. Snowman accessory 
Carrot nose, so ace, I wish I had a carrot nose.

There you go, do this yourself! Get in the mood for Christmas yaaaay.
