I'll be frank here: October needed to calm the hell down. It got far too over excited with itself and went all Single White Female on me. My diary was full, my work life was manic, I basically didn't sleep and almost had a meltdown. There's a lot going on right now that I don't really want to divulge into on this particular space of the internet, but I would just quite like to have a nap and skip forward a few weeks until things just chill out a bit.
Saying that, there's some fun stuff coming up in November. Some brunches and family visits and a trip to Liverpool. I'm going to go head first into my Christmas shopping and will probably trip over a few treats for myself along the way, because I bloody deserve it. Until then, here's what went down in my neck of the woods in October:
London, you so pretty
 |
| Some mental sunset over Tower Bridge blew my tiny mind Chinatown was rocking some serious patriotism King's Cross station put everyone else's poppy to shame I got lost in my own reflection at Paul and I want this mirror for my own |
Fun with food
 |
| Vietnamese for lunch at Bang Bang Canteen The best mug ever (if your name's Charlie) Perusing the shelves of Tottenham Court Road's new Korean supermarket I found a mango signed by Bonnie Tyler at Innocent HQ which basically made my month |
Arts, crafts and inspiration
 |
| I got handy with a glue gun at Hillary's Crafternoon I got handy with theatre wax for Halloween and stuck a pencil in my forehead My friend got handy with her thank you cards I'm going to get more handy after reading Sheryl Sandberg's 'Lean In' because she is a total boss |
Thank you so much for reading my blog this month, whether you're a return visitor or brand new to this little space of mine, I'm so happy that you dropped by. In case you missed anything, here's my most popular posts from October:
1) Tampon Tax: I suggested eight taxes which make just as much sense as this insanity
2) Driving the west coast of Ireland: Exploring some gorgeous scenery close to home
3) Birthday celebrations: Turning 27 with so many smiles from my favourite people
4) How to wear double denim: Rocking the Canadian tuxedo with a duster coat and mom jeans
5) What I've been eating: From burgers to chocolate logs; I ate a lot this month!

I can't deal with how much enjoyment that Bonnie Tyler mango is giving me. I do want to comment on other things in this post but BONNIE TYLER MANGO. AMAZING.
ReplyDeleteBonnie Tyler mango has made my blooming day. I wanna touch it!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a busy month. Hope things get a bit calmer for you in november. Your halloween costume with the pencil is awesome, creepy and fun! I need to have a play around with theatre wax next year I think. I had never heard of Lean In before but just gave it a click and immediately want to by it, sounds like a really inspiring read. Also hells yes on the Bonnie Tyler mango! xx
ReplyDeleteIt was! Not massively expensive either

80s pop superstars should make a thing of signing fruit. BUSINESS IDEA!

Lean In is so inspiring, I definitely recommend it. I love making an effort for Halloween, I like creeping people out as I walk down the street!
