Happy Monday and happy Leap Day friends! I am lucky enough to have today off so I am using this extra day to grab a coffee with a friend and to treat myself to a mani and pedi!

Go reds!

This is so true

Sorry for the radio silence over in these parts yesterday, it was just I had one extra day to squeeze in with family before it was time to head back to university. 

So lets get on with my very 'exciting' weekend which consisted of...

-Travelling back Friday evening to my hometown and standing up on the train for an hour of my journey, public transport is rough sometimes.

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!


    

           

Friday I had to babysit all day for my little cousin who was a complete gem. We went to the park, did a ton of crafts and read the same book about 50 times.

I am so lucky I managed to get this photo as he never sits still and most of my photos turn out blurry.

 Friday night I went for some food with a group of my girlfriends. We went to Nandos and I had the butterfly chicken with creamy mash and corn. It was delicious. 



Saturday I had a relaxing morning and was made breakfast courtesy of my lovely mother. I then helped around the house and went for a run. After my run I had a quick pedicure and manicure before spending the evening playing games and drinking homemade cocktails at my grandparents house. Sadly I got no pictures as I forgot to charge my phone and my battery died.

Sunday it rained all day, it did not stop. So I used the rain as a perfect excuse to snuggle up on the sofa and watch Castle. I also managed to write a few blog posts and help my mother grocery shop for the week but other than that I did nothing. 

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend because I sure did. 

Friday I woke up feeling so rough, my allergies are really playing up lately and I felt terrible. My eyes were all red and puffy and I kept sneezing, I had plans to go to the gym with my friend but I felt so bad I just stayed in bed. I managed to get up around 12PM to make some food and then I crawled back into bed to watch the rest of Orange Is The New Black. I didn't think season 3 was all that good to be honest. 

Saturday I went furniture shopping with my grandparents. We went to a few different places and managed to score some bargains for them. On the way back home we stopped in the Harvester to have some food and then I headed to the gym. After I came home from the gym I sat outside in the garden with a strawberry frozen daiquiri and a magazine. 

Sunday I attended my aunty's 80th birthday party. We had a BBQ food, dessert and wine which was perfect. I got to see all my extended family that I haven't seen in about 5 years which was really nice. The only downside was that the weather didn't cooperate, it was raining pretty heavy the whole day. So we ended up having to cook everything indoors instead of outside! Around 4PM the sun started to come out so we hopped outside and had birthday cake outside in the sun. They had a trampoline in the garden so I used the excuse that I was taking my little cousin on there and had a go myself. I left around 6.30PM to head home and I finished the night with a hot bubble bath and Law&Order SVU.

*Sadly no photos this week as my phone has been in repair since last Thursday! I am having a new screen as I broke the screen last week on my phone*
