I am over the moon to have gained a place in my chosen university, words cannot describe how excited and happy I am. 

These past few weeks have been so exhausting and unfortunately blogging has taken a back seat whilst I have been trying to settle into my new routine. So what better way to get back into the blogging game then linking up with Jessi and Jen!

There is nothing I love more in life than fall and food so now that the temperatures have started to drop here in the u.k I can finally start making my favourite fall recipes! I can't wait to start eating all the chilli, soups and everything apple.

Whilst I love making and sticking to my favourite recipes, it is always good to throw in some new ones for good measure. So here are some of the recipes I have been pinning lately that I must try.

1| Butternut squash and sweet potato soup (source)

Doesn't it look delicious?? I love butternut squash soup (but I have never made it) and sweet potato has become a staple in my diet lately so I think this soup would be a hit. Not to mention it is a really healthy dish and vegan approved! 2| Crock pot pumpkin chili (source) Omg yes please I cannot wait to start making this. This dish just screams fall with the added ingredient of the pumpkin. So easy to prepare too, chuck it in the crock pot and come home to a lovely smelling home and dinner already made. 3| Slow cooked shredded beef tacos (source) This looks absolutely heavenly. We have a thing called taco Tuesdays in my family and I cannot wait to add this to my rotation. Nothing like some good Mexican. 4| Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies (source) Ever since I had my first PSL (ever) I have been trying to pin everything pumpkin. Warm gooey cookies are my favourite kind of cookies throw in some chocolate chips and pumpkin and I am a happy girl. 5| Hot apple cider with rum  (source) Really want to try this twist to the classic hot apple cider. Nothing like sitting by the fire watching tv with a nice warm alcoholic beverage.

                                                     

I am so glad it is the weekend, I am so exhausted and cannot wait to open up a bottle of wine and settle down in front of the TV. 

Now onto my Friday five...

1| I couldn't write a post without mentioning Fall! It is my favourite season by far as you all know. I love Fall fashion and Fall TV. All my favourite programs are due to return in the next few weeks so you may not here much from me;)

2| You know you are an adult when you ask for a blender for your birthday. Yep my birthday is next month and my mother asked me what I wanted and I said a blender. I love making my own homemade soups and when I move I won't have a blender as the one I currently use is in fact my mothers so I thought I would ask for something useful.

3| This weekend will be all about family time and I cannot wait. I am so excited to be spending the weekend with my dads side of the family. They live quite a distance away from me so I don't see them all that often. I cannot wait to spend it with my aunties, uncles and cousins. Quality time with family is the best especially when it involves take out food and board game.

4|  Now Fall is here I have been on the hunt for the perfect fall boots. I have a coupon for 20% off on ASOS and how convenient it expires this weekend.
So far I have been liking these beauties below, tell me which is your favourite because I can't seem to decide. 

I really want a pair of knee high boots with a heel and I do like these but don't know if they are appropriate or not.

Black is my staple colour but I don't know if they are too plain for my liking.

I really like these boots, tassles are really in this Fall.

I am leaning towards the last pair the more I look at them, but still would love to hear your thoughts. 

5| I was browsing Facebook and came across this video, it is a video from Tom Fletcher a famous British musician announcing he is going to be a dad for a second time! Such a great pregnancy announcement idea you should all check it out such a sweet video.


I hope you all have an amazing weekend!


    

           

There is nothing more I like to do after a stressful day than sit on the couch and binge watch TV. It is fair to say that I am a champion when it comes to the amount of shows I have watched. Is there a job where I can sit and binge watch TV and get paid for it? If so hit me up. 

Here are 5 shows that I am currently binge watching...



1| Friends- A classic series that you can't go wrong watching, it always manages to pick me up after a particularly bad day. It reminds me of the type of friendships me and my friends have. This is my 5th time watching the series from start to finish. 

2| Sons of Anarchy- It has such a great cast with the likes of Katey Sagal and Ron Perlman. It is about a single father who finds his loyalty to his motorcycle club tested and it tackles issues such as gun running to vigilante justice. I am only a few episodes in but so far so good. When someone recommended it to me I wasn't sure as it wasn't my type of show but so glad I gave it a go. 

3| New Girl- This is my type of show that I knew I would like from the off set and it did not disappoint. It is an hilarious comedy that stars Zooey Deschanel. She really portrays the main character really well. It is about a girl who finds her partner cheating and moves into a flat with 3 other guys. You can just imagine the hilarity from that last sentence alone.

4| Friday Night Lights- Another show that surprised me, everyone seemed to love this and recommended it to me so I thought I would give it a watch. I can't stop watching I have already watched nearly all the episodes since Friday night. This show also tackles some very important issues such as family values, school funding, racism, drugs, abortion, and lack of economic opportunities. 

5| Dexter- This has gripped me from the start and I am on the last but one episode from finishing it. It is kind of dark and twisted but you can't help but like the main character despite the fact he is a serial killer. He tries to gain justice for the victims by killing those who have killed them. I totally recommend that you watch this if you haven't already.

Other shows that I have recently finished binge watching and are up to date on are- How to Get Away with Murder, Pretty Little Liars, House of Cards and the Bachelor/Bachelorette. 

If you have any recommendations of shows you like to watch then send them my way. I am always on the look out for good TV series to watch because you know I have nothing else to do;)

I confess that...

I am itching to move away to some place new. I desperately want to start a new adventure in a completely new country. I am getting bored of where I live, I have lived here my whole life and I am craving something new. I just want to get on a plane and live either in Texas, Tennessee or Arizona. I have even looked into various jobs out there but moving over 5000 miles away scares me. I don't think I am quite that brave.

I have planned my wedding even though I am nowhere near getting married. I have put hours and hours of research and made secret pinterest boards with various pins. I want a rustic barn type setting with twinkle lights and a country band playing. Now to find a husband!

I need a job desperately. All I have been doing is filling in application forms and ringing around various places and seeing if they are hiring people. It is such an exhausting process and I really hope I find a job soon. I don't like relying on my mother as a source of income at all so please send good vibes this way and hope I catch a break soon. I mean it will only be a temporary thing as I am going to university in Autumn away from home but I still hate living off my mother. 

I have been feeling unmotivated lately where all I want to do is stay in bed and watch TV all day. I try and write posts and nothing seems to make it onto my computer screen, I try to make dinner and I just can't muster up energy to do it. I don't know what is wrong and I hate it.

I preordered Luke Bryans new album on ITunes and on CD call me crazy but I need it on my IPhone and IPod for the gym and then CD for the car. Logical right? I can't wait to satisfy my little country heart with some new songs. 

I need to throw away some of my shoes I know longer wear but I am having a hard time parting with them. I moved them into the spare bedroom but with guest frequently staying over as it is summer I can't really keep them there. 

That is all, happy humpday!

Sorry I didn't get a post up yesterday but there is a reason why. MY BLOG WENT MISSING! Yes missing. I was playing around, writing up some posts, reading and commenting on posts and I refreshed my dashboard and there was nothing except my reading list. So I refreshed it again and nothing, my whole blog had disappeared. I could still view my blog by typing in its name in the address bar and I could still reply to any comments left and I could still comment on all your blogs but as far as writing a post I could not do it. I literally was about to burst into tears because I was just getting to know some amazing people through blogging and just really enjoying having a place to share the happenings of my life. I considered making a new one but then I would have to think of a name again, go through some design aspects (when I am already working with someone to design this space) and I would have to come up with a hell of a lot of post ideas as I had millions floating around in my drafts of this blog. So I just decided to go for ice cream and figure it out afterwards. I think I thought it would all just reappear when I got home but of course it didn't. I took to Google and it gave me tons of solutions to restore my blog but none of them seemed to be what happened to my blog. There was no drop down arrow with deleted blogs so I thought I was screwed. I emailed Blogger and they gave me a few suggestions but it just seemed complicated and I could not understand what they were on about. So I just made a new blog after trying to restore mine for over 3 hours to no avail. I got a new name, done a quick design and scheduled a post about why I have a new blog ready to go up tomorrow. It took me all of 2 hours but I just wasn't happy I wanted this blog back. So I tried once more time, I logged out of all my other Gmail accounts and kept the one logged in on my old blog and I went to a different browser (Internet Explorer ugh) and my blog was there on my dashboard but on Chrome it had disappeared. I clicked settings and I realised that I had no author or admin so I must of somehow kicked myself off the blog. I managed to re-add myself via Internet Explorer and went back to Chrome and my blog is back! In total it took me about 6 hours to do and I stayed up until 1am figuring it out! You can find me napping the rest of the day now.

> My dog Roscoe. He lives with my dad so I rarely get to see him. I miss waking up to puppy snuggles and a fresh lick of dog slobber. I love spending my day taking him to the dog park and teaching him a trick or two.

> Saved By The Bell. I used to come home everyday from school and watch episodes of Saved By The Bell. I had a massive crush on Zack, didn't everyone. I miss TV shows like Saved By The Bell they no longer make shows like that anymore. I own Saved By The Bell: The Wedding and Saved By The Bell: Hawaiian Style on DVD and frequently watch them. I may have watched the Jimmy Fallon skit over 10 times.

> Pairs. I have been too the city of love many times and each time I have fell more in love with it. It seriously holds such a special place in my heart. I love the whole vibe of the city and I cannot wait to venture back to that city that stole my heart. It reminds me so much of family vacations and even my school years where I went there for a trip one year. 

> My metabolism. Seriously guys my metabolism has gone missing, if you find it can you please bring it back to me, there will be a reward. I remember I could eat whatever I wanted without putting on a single pound. I used to eat all the carbs and double the portion sizes until about a year ago when I only had to look at a chocolate bar before putting on weight.  

> My Mac foundation. Two weeks ago I bought a new foundation, well my Mac foundation run out so I went and bought another one. I took it out with me on Saturday to top up my make up and what happened I lost it and now someone else is probably using my foundation that I paid £35 for. Remind me next time to take a cheap foundation out with me!

> Tennis. I love Tennis, lots of people find it so boring but I enjoy watching it. It is probably one of the few sports I watch (including Rugby) I watch all the tournaments and really keep up with Tennis, there is no real reason as to why but I just like watching it. I only have to wait a week before Wimbledon starts back so I haven't got long to miss it before it is back on my screen. Next year I am definitely going to watch a game on Centre Court! 

> Having BBQS with my family. Every summer when I was younger, all my family used to get together for summer bbqs but these past few years the weather hasn't been nice enough to carry on the tradition. It has either rained or been cold when we have arranged said get together. I miss it because it used to be such a good time. I have one coming up this week as my aunty turns 80 so hopefully the weather holds up for that.

I think that is enough for one day. What are you missing?
