Happy Halloween!






Happy Halloween everyone! Just thought I'd share a few pictures from tonight.  They're not the best I've ever taken, mostly down to the bad lighting as it's getting so dark so early!  We had a ton of trick or treaters at our house, getting through over 100 pieces of candy, having to buy a load more emergency lollies as we ran out so early!  My baby brother, Freddie was dressed up as a gorilla (the hat didn't stay on long!) and mum dressed up a bit to answer the door.  The house was all decorated and yet we still got an egg thrown at our door! I thought it was pretty rude considering we went to all the effort!

This half term has been average, gonna be honest, especially at the start, however I managed to make more plans in the last few days with my friends, so it eventually turned up.  Today was mine and Alex's 6 months, which was cute, it's gone so fast! I just carved my pumpkin for tomorrow which I'll try to upload a good picture of tomorrow.  For now I'm just going to attempt to catch up on the huge amount of college work I didn't do!

I wish that I could just make up my mind




This saturday just gone I popped into London for the day with my friend, Melina.  We'd heard about the American Apparel Flea Market and figured it would be a good day out.  After missing 4/5 trains (I know, I know) we eventually got to London and went to Camden first with the sole intention of getting some bang bang chicken.  For those of you who have never had bang bang chicken, you haven't lived. Next time you're in Camden, walk up from the tube station towards the Lock, and when you get to All Saints, turn right where there are a load of food stalls.  The first one you come to there will be a guy with a low, buzzy voice who will call you 'bruv' and throw chicken in your face.  TAKE THE CHICKEN AND EXPERIENCE HEAVEN ON EARTH.

Anyway, after looking around the market for a while we faffed about on the tube, eventually getting to Liverpool Street and spent another half hour dawdling around trying to find brick lane, where the flea market was.  We got caught up in a few shops along the way, like Urban Outfitters, Whistles, a load of vintage stores, the Lomography store, and a shoe shop where I came sooo close to buying some creepers for £85, so glad I didn't now, as I found some on eBay for £60 which I'm debating about buying!

After getting distracted to no end we found the Flea Market and as it was quite late (7/8pm) there were hardly any queues, took us 10 mins at the most to get in, and it was quite empty inside, so there was no frantic buying rush.  I ended up buying two things which I'll post about when I can get hold of them (stupidly left them at my Dads house).  The market was pretty good, although the reductions weren't THAT good, the items were average and there weren't even any socks, which is one of the main reasons I wanted to go; plus looooads of the stock is damaged, so if you're going, make sure you check each item thoroughly, because you don't want to spend £20 on a nice blouse, if you're going to get home with a mighty big burn hole on the back (which nearly happened to my friend!).

All in all, it was a good day and I'm happy with my purchases, and that I didn't actually spend as much as I thought I would, I even got away with a childs ticket(;  I'll post about my purchases when I can!

Graze Box 001


So the other week I signed up for Graze boxes and so far I loooove them!  For those of you who may be unfamiliar with Graze, It's a little weekly box packed with 4 different boxes of healthy but yummy snacks, to prevent you constantly binging on crisps and chocolate!  I thought I'd do a little review of what I got, so if you're interested, read on!

1: Natural Vanilla Seeds
I was actually pretty surprised at how these tasted! I expected them to be like normal seeds with a vanilla undertone/aftertaste but they're actually really sweet.  I wouldn't recommend eating them all in one sitting as they get sickly very quickly but other wise they're totally yummy.

2: Cheddar Gorge
This was probably my favourite snack in the box.  I'm already a fan of cheese, and the little mix in this box was awesome, the taste wasn't mild at all, absolutely perfect, and I'm definitely adding this to my love list!

3: Rustic Marble Bread
Graze do a few of these breads, and I love them as they're cooked fresh for your box, and you can really taste it.  I wouldn't normally choose something like this to eat, but it turned out that I really liked it, that's the great thing about Graze boxes, you get to try new stuff!

4: Beach Bum
This snack has a mix of dried coconut, mango and banana and it was alright, although the mango was super chewy.  I don't really like mango in the first place, so didn't find it too enjoyable, plus the banana coins were different than how I've had them before, so this was probably my least favourite box in the pack, nevertheless I still ate it all!

If you're interested in Graze, just click here and you can get your first box completely free and your second half price!  I would definitely recommend it, even for a few weeks, as it's just £3.49 for 1 box! If you liked this post please let me know, and I'll be sure to review my future boxes I receive!
