After reading Sprinkle of Glitter's Motivational Monday blog post a couple of weeks back, it really clicked something with me. Its like I've just woken up and nearly a year has passed. Life is short that is the cliche, but honest truth.

Anyway, Louise made it her goal to do things that had been on her 'to-do' list for ages. I'm also terrible for this... I don't mean to be, but with work, deadlines, social life, family life, sometimes its hard to fit in getting round to doing what you've wanted to do for ages.

My list ranges from selling old clothes on eBay to finally getting a haircut to visiting friends around the UK. But yesterday I finally booked some tickets to visit my besties in Norwich and Reading. It feels brill! This seems like a small step, but its a step nonetheless. Recent events have put things into perspective and this is the shake I needed. Now to book the hairdressers and to put those heels that I'll never wear on eBay....

Whether its a little thing or a bigger one, I always get a sense of accomplishment after crossing something off once I've done it. What I'm trying to say is take opportunities when you have the chance, book the weekend off work and do it. I know everyone is busy, this time of year especially, but you will always be busy. Thats the point. So fit it in and do it, otherwise you'll regret it :)


Hope everyone is well, spread the love people,
Millie
I did a bad thing. I went shopping. Oh no.
My reasoning is that its cold and I only had summer scented melts and I wanted something more wintery... At least they're only mini candles it could have been worse, at least they aren't the large jars ;)

Wellfield Road is my local Yankee Candle Shop. Since discovering it on a wander around Cardiff when I moved, I tend to always get mine from here now because their range is so much bigger than Clintons or somewhere like that.


This time I invested in; Spiced Orange, November Rain, Christmas Eve (couldn't resist), Sugared Apple, Loves Me Loves Me Not and a melt Merry Marshmallow.

What are your favourite scents at the moment?

This is my first monthly favourites, I can feel the excitement brewing!!! October has a 'bit of everything' and I must admit it was quite fun preparing for this. I haven't really tried any new beauty products this month, sorry! But I'm on the look out for a new foundation if anyone has any recommendations that'd be really handy (drugstore price range ideally)... Lets get down to business! *sings as Li Shang from Mulan*


Beauty 
- The seems a bit weird, but I changed deodorant. I'm normally a Sure gal but found recently it wasn't doing its job as well but the Dove cucumber and green tea is top notch, smells lovely and keeps me fresh :)
- I went to Superdrug and got the Zoella perfume! Its more or less my everyday scent now, and its only £8. Can't wait to try her other products too.
- I rediscovered Rimmel - One Of A Kind its so easy to whack on I wondered why I stopped using it in the first place...

Food
- Mr Kipling brought back the Halloween Fiendish Fancies. I know they are only around for Halloween so grab them quick ;)

Music 
- 1989 IS FINALLY OUT! I love it! I would say my favs but its literally the whole CD at the mo!

Netflix 
- I have found a new sitcom I am obsessed with. I mean marathon obsessed. Its The Office US! Its brill, if you love the whole mockumentry style sitcom and haven't seen this before give it a watch, you'll love it! The cast and characters are ace and its laugh out loud funny!

Book
- I finally got round to reading Divergent! Its a must read if you love dystopian novels. Now I'm reading the second one, Insurgent, I'm hooked. P.S. There is no age limit for reading young adult books.

Random
- This month I got new glasses! I went for a Gok Wan pair and then found this really cute glasses case that says 'love is blind' in Tiger for a couple of squid, bargaaaain!


Where has this year gone?! I can't believe we're in November!

At midnight on Halloween I had my first drink in over a month :) I took part in Sober October for Macmillan yeaaah! So Saturday morning hit me hard. You could say, I was sharply reminded by the terrible truths of the dreaded hangover. Here's how my day pretty much went...

- Wake up laying on your stomach = queasy
- My mouth is as dry as Gandhi's flipflop
- NEED. WATER. NOW.
- What exactly did I drink last night?
- Is that a wine headache?
- Gonna be sick for sure
- Why is my pee so yellow?
- God my breath smells like a brewery
- If I smell one drop of alcohol, I will throw-up
- My throat is so dry *more water*
- I was smoking last night?!
- Oh shit I slept in my eyelashes again...
- Hallelujah, I remembered to take out my contact lenses though!
- Just had a drunken flashback
- Everything is so funny, maybe I'm not hungover yet, maybe I'm still drunk?!
- Can't wear anything high-waisted otherwise I WILL chunder
- Can I just stay in my pjs all day?
- And watch Netflix?
- No, I'll do the right thing and have a shower
- It'll make me feel better
- God I need food!!!
- Did I make future plans last night?
- Can't remember...
- I need food so bad I'm gonna eat my arm in a minute!
- So hungry now, if I don't eat soon I'm gonna be sick
- Why did I drink so much?
- Never drinking again.
- Boozy Twosie (me and my friend Emmas phrase for hangover poo... HAHAHA)
- I'm sweating so much, is the heating on?
- I should get some fresh air, that'll help
- Crikey, I'm freezing now
- Oh mate, can I just go back to bed and sleep it off?


It was a really good night though and it was really good to catch up with my friends :) here's me as a spider! Hope everyone else had a good Halloween too!
