Hello everyone!
So firstly let me say that I am
so so so so SO sorry for leaving my next blog post so late! It's been nearly a month I know! And I'm kicking myself in the bum for it! But never the less.. Nikki's back with a brand new post! Seen as I haven't done a weekly post in while I figured I should do one for the entire month! And give you the low down on what you've missed while I've been absent from the internet!
Something I'm loving..
So this month something which I have been loving is definitely the lead up the Christmas period! The red cups are back in Starbucks! (cue girly shriek!) And pumpkin spiced lattes (yaay!) I also cannot wait for the eggnog flavoured drinks to come back! Primark have got all those crazy ugly Christmas sweaters in stalk again! And I woke up to frost on the ground this morning! Its time to grab your hat and scarf and let the cold wind bite the tip of your nose again guys! Christmas is in the aaaair!
Something I'm hating..
Something I have been hating this month is the fact that Halloween is over with for another year! I did enjoy the fact that it seemed to last a good week this year though! I don't know what it is about the spooky holiday that had me brimming with excitement this year! Considering I've never really been one for doing much on Halloween! But this year I had two Halloween parties, which meant getting to try two different Halloween makeup looks! And yes mine did look a bit awful, but I still enjoyed looking awful on purpose rather than by accident! Another major regret was leaving getting a pumpkin till the day before.. that's right there were none left! But here's to you Halloween! Thanks for a good one! Scare you again next year!
Something I've been wearing..
Something you may hate me for (giving that it is only the beginning of November) is the fact that yes, today, I wore a Christmas tshirt to college! Judge me however you please! But I have no regrets! I mean just look at this beauty! Primarks finest..
Something I've been crushing on..
So someone I think EVERYONE should definitely check out this month is
Daniel Docherty! This guy right here is Scottish.. and
insaaaanely talented! With a real acoustic feel to his music! Daniel spends a lot of time busking on the streets of Scotland and you may have seen him on the streets of Glasgow, Dundee or even Aberdeen at one point! I first saw Daniel back in January of 2012 after a One Direction concert in Glasgow. I threw him a few pennies and he was genuinely so nice, after he stopped playing he came over to personally thank me and just have a chat. He even gave me a hug bless him! I think it's rare that you see people with as much talent as he has be so genuine and so thankful for everyone's support. I'm going to leave a few links below to some videos of him busking, and also the links to his
facebook and
twitter. If you get the chance, I cannot stress how much he is worth taking a couple of minutes to check out. He also recently left his management (you can find an article about his management story
here in the evening times) and is looking for places across Scotland to gig, so if anyone knows anywhere or anyone that might be interested don't hesitate to contact him! He doesn't bite! But please.. enjoy his talent and good looks!
here are just a few of my favourite videos to check out!..
here's a much more recent one!..
Something Elaine and I did..
So being that it is now November 6th (and the last landmark event until Christmas is now over!) of course we just had Guy Fawkes night or bonfire night if you prefer! And so cute little me and Elaine went together to keep each other warm! We stood in the freezing cold and watched in excitement as Aberdeen's night sky lit up in every possible colour. One thing that made this bonfire night different to any other was the couple standing behind us, having a rather loud conversation.. about their sex life. Now I am not going to repeat what they said, as I don't feel it would be appropriate. But it just made me wonder, if at times, people realise just how loud they are talking? Especially when it comes to their private lives! There were children around, and a whisper couldn't have gone a miss? So dear couple from the fireworks display, please take your conversation back to the bedroom next time yeah? Thanks, Elaine and Nikki.
Something magical..
Something magical for you all this month is the rather exciting development of the AVATAR LAND at Animal Kingdom in Florida! For those of you who don't know, Disney are building the land of Pandora from the James Cameron movie Avatar (which is absolutely brilliant! Check it out if you haven't already!) And the concept art sketches have officially been released! What makes me the most excited about these is the fact that my favourite part of the movie is at night when all the plants and animals light up, and judging by these sketches, Disney are set to do a fantastic job of representing this! Construction begins this year and the opening of the land is set to be in 2016! If this doesn't excite you then go re-evaluate your life! Only joking, it is super exciting though!
Something I am planning..
So guys, this month I have decided to plan something massive. (Well it's massive in the scale of my life anyway!). I am planning to do a charity sky dive as of next year! The plan is to raise as much money as I can for the children's charity
Cash For Kids which is the charity for my local radio station
Northsound Radio! I just feel really inspired both to do something for charity and to tick skydiving off of my bucket list! This has been a completely spontaneous decision, but it's one that has made me super excited and I want to start planning things as soon as I can! My friends and family have already been supportive of the decision and with everyone behind me I know I can raise lots for such a brilliant charity!
Something to inspire you..
And last but not least guys I shall leave you all, as per, with something to inspire you a little..
Until next time (and hopefully not a months time this time)
Stay Magical!
Nikki x
