Hello Everyone!
Sorry this weeks big something post is so late, I've been pretty busy with college, work (and freshers too ofcourse!) But better late than never!
Something I've been loving..
This week I have been absolutely loving the flavour/smell of mango! I mean, is it just me or is mango just the nicest fruit ever!? This week I've been wearing Barry M's gelly nail in 'mango', in the shower I've been using mango shower gel, I've been drinking orange and mango fruit juice, Fanta mango and mango sourz! I feel like I'm on mango overload, is it too much? Naaa..
Something I've been hating..
So I enjoy a nice bath now and again, but this has become war due to the fact that I have never been able to find the right plug for the bath in our flat! I mean I'm not even sure one exists! Saturday evening, I poured a bath and used what I thought was the correct bath plug, little did I know it would be more effort than it was worth. After a (for what its worth) very pleasant nice warm bath (which was much needed after sleeping in that morning and not having time to shower before work!). I then came to the realisation that the bath plug, was infact.. stuck! Yes, stuck! No matter how hard I tried, I could not move it! Eventually I had to use a jug to slowly take the water from the bath and pour it down the bathroom sink. It took the best of half an hour until the bath was pretty much empty and I was finally able to remove the plug! It's safe to say I won't be bathing for a long time at least not until we finally find the right plug!
Something I've been wearing..
So this week I decided I was just going to go out on a limb and buy a slightly larger slightly more 'winter appropriate' jacket and assume that the weather is only going to get colder! I fell in love with this one as soon as I seen it, it's from H+M and is grey 'tweed like' material with leather sleeves and collar detailing, the zip is also just slightly off centre which I think makes it a bit different! And although it doesn't look that thick the sleeves especially are quite padded and are super cosy! So winter.. Come at me!
Something I bought that I didn't need..
Beyoncé's new perfume! So I stumbled into superdrug this week, and as I was at the checkout I noticed Beyoncé's new perfume, The Mrs Carter World Tour, was half price for one week only (the big bottle too!) I just could not resist! It smells fabulous! Fruity but expensive! Another definite recommend from me!
Something I've been listening to..
Union J's new song, Beautiful life.
Album.. A guilty pleasure of mine this week (judge me now) has been The Hannah Montanna Movie Soundtrack.. a personal favourite of mine has been Crazier by Taylor Swift, yes I am a lover of country music. Please don't judge me! The Hannah Montanna fan in me will never die, even if Mileys old image has done!
Something I've been missing..
So being in my second year at Aberdeen College, I am living in my own flat away from home and away from my family. Having lived in the countryside until I was 17, the past year has brought a lot of changes to my life and I do quite often find myself missing the tranquillity of my old farmhouse, and everyone who lived in it with me. Also, seen as my Grandpa has been quite ill these past couple of months with trips in and out of hospital and it being difficult for me to find the time to see him, it had got me thinking a lot about my childhood and how much he used to be around. My earliest memory of him is probably him teaching me how to tie my shoe laces, a simple task that I guess I do without even thinking about these days, I guess I really ought to thank him for the simple things like that! (And Grandpa if you're reading this, you better be writing my book!). But it's not just my Grandpa that I miss, as little as I admit it, my mothers company is missed more and more every day (and not just because yesterday I dyed my whites pink in the wash because she wasn't here to tell me otherwise! oops!). But more so because you don't even realise how much even just her presence means to you until your miles away from her! And my Dad, well, for those of you who don't know he is quite the clown. I sorely miss his childish capering, and when he used to attempt to tell me and my brother off, but instead just end up laughing! His silly dance moves would not go a miss right now! And my brother (whom I have to thank for the inspiration for this post), well I guess I never really tell him how much I miss having him around too, I remember when we were younger and we used to run around pretending we were twins! But he's growing up now and doing well in School, truth be told I'm quite the proud older sister! Stick in till you stick out bro bro!
And so, my dear family.. this ones for you! Love and miss you all! (And the cats!)
Something Elaine showed me..
Apparently I've turned up very late to the "dumb ways to die" club! But for those of you who don't know about it (like me, oops) you should definitely give that game a download! Very strange but strangely addictive!!
Something magical..
This week for my something magical I would like to share a video with you which I stumbled upon on YouTube. The video features a YouTube boyband and YouTuber Todrick Hall, singing a remix of some classical Disney songs! Disney Princes meets Boybands with a twist, don't be too quick to judge and check this one out! If anything it is damn catchy!
Something inspiring..
And for something to inspire you guys this week, here is a picture I bought in a little shop I can't quite remember the name of in St Andrews, my familys favourite holiday destination! (Ps. Dad if you're reading this, I'm still waiting for you to put it on my wall!) Anyway, it immediately stood out to me, and it genuinely sums up the motto which I live my life by!
You know the drill..
Stay Magical!

I love that jacket!!!!
