I mentioned in my last post that one of my favourite things about Christmas is snuggling up and watching a Christmas film, so I figured it's only right that I share some of my other Christmas faves with you all.

BOOK REVIEW || The Girl on the Train - Paula Hawkins
Friday
Every morning Rachel watches Jason and Jess eat breakfast in their garden from the comfort of her commuter train as it stops just outside the suburban town of Witney. However, one morning Rachel sees something she wishes she hadn't and suddenly Jess becomes Megan, and Megan is missing...
Simple Pumpkin Pie Recipe
If you're anything like me and can't resist a good bargain, then you too will probably have been tempted by the post-Halloween reduced pumpkins. Now I am not the best cook in the world, but I will have a good go at baking most things so when I saw this giant pumpkin for 10p in Lidl I figured that now would be the perfect opportunity to try my hand at baking a Pumpkin Pie.
If you have never had Pumpkin...
My Trip to Washington D.C
Monday
Way back in February I took my mum to The Big Apple for her birthday, New York is one of her favourite places in the entire world - she loves the bright lights, towering buildings and yellow taxi's that just seem to appear out of nowhere; I am the complete opposite, I love quiet spaces, culture and being surrounded by history. Honestly, I am such a huge dork, and after going all that way on a...
BOOKS TO READ THIS SUMMER
Wednesday
G
Summer is the perfect time to throw yourself at your bookshelf and get on top of some much-needed reading, however, if you're anything like me it could take you half the summer to actually figure out what you want to read. So I have put together a guide of book categories to help you decide what to read over the next few months, and I have included some examples from my own bookshelf...
The story of Harrold Bartholomeow
Wednesday
If it isn't abundantly obvious, I am obsessed with my cat. Harry (full name: Harrold Bartholomeow) had a bit of a rough start in life, he was handed into my local vet as a tiny stray kitten starving and absolutely full of fleas, he spent three weeks there as they nursed him back to health and tried to find his owners, fortunately for me no one came forward to claim him.

TRAVEL || NEW YORK: A CITY WITH A VIEW
Tuesday
The only thing better than seeing the New York Skyline from Liberty Island is being part of it. Ever since I saw Home Alone 2 when I was a kid, I wanted nothing more than to climb to the top of New York and look out onto the enormous buildings and vast blue skies; and let me tell you, it was everything I ever hoped it could be. ...
BOOK REVIEW || The 100 - Kass Morgan (Book one)
Thursday
Like a lot of other people, I discovered The 100 through the CW's hit show of the same name. I binge watched the first two and a half seasons in about four days, and then had to wait for new episodes each week. Imagine watching thirty-six episodes in a row, and the last one you watch is the one with THAT Lexa scene - I did not know it was coming, I was not read...
What I am watching on Netflix : TV SHOWS
Tuesday
I have to admit that one of my favourite things to do is snuggle up under the dim light of my laptop, and binge-watch TV shows on Netflix. There is no such thing as 'just one more episode' am I right?
Netflix has so much great content, both new and old so I figured I would share a few of my favourites.

Sarah Millican: Outsider
Friday
Last Sunday I went to see the amazing Sarah Millican at the Hammersmith Apollo in London. I have loved Sarah Millican for so long, so seeing her live was an immense experience. She has such a fantastic stage presence and captured the attention of the audience throughout her entire set. By the time we left my sides were hurting from laughing so much. I really didn't want the show to en...
TRAVEL || NEW YORK: CENTRAL PARK
Monday
I wish we could have spent a lot longer in Central Park than what we had time for, as it is so pretty and there is so much to see, but considering the weather was ridiculously below freezing we decided to venture for warmer pastures and save what we missed for another trip (at a warmer time of year).
The little time we spent there was not nearly enough time to get around the entire park, but...
Lifestyle || I don't like iced coffee.
So today I discovered that I do not like Iced Coffee. I love regular coffee, so I figured I would love Iced Coffee too, but it is actually really disgusting! Stay with me, this isn't a completely pointless post I promise it's going somewhere!
I am twenty-three years old, and today I discovered that I don't like Iced Coffee! Yes, I said that a minute ago but do you not know what this means!? Of...
BOOK REVIEW|| Once Upon a Time - Out of the Past
Thursday
I love graphic novels; I especially love them when I find one that isn’t about superheroes, and the drama of their superhero lives, so I was very happy to find out that Marvel had created Graphic Novels based on one of my favourite TV shows, Once upon a Time. My friend, Cat, who is one of the best gift givers ever found this copy in Amsterdam and bought it for me for me last year, however...
TRAVEL || WICKED ON BROADWAY
Tuesday
Whilst I was in New York I got to see my favourite musical, Wicked, on Broadway, which was everything I could have hoped for and mor...
TRAVEL || STATUE OF LIBERTY
So this weeks NYC post is pretty photo heavy, but how can it not be when on our second day in New York, we hopped on a sightseeing bus and made our way down to Battery Park so we could see
The Statue of Liberty. I have been wanting to see Lady Liberty ever since I first saw her on TV when I was little, so finally getting the chance to see her in person was pretty magica...
LIFESTYLE || Ninja Book Swap
Monday
I recently had the pleasure of taking part in the #Ninjabookswap. It was the first time I had taken part, and had signed up on a whim, but I am so glad that I did, as I had such a great time choosing gifts for my partner, and I really loved what I received too. If you ever get the chance to take part in a book swap, then you should do it, after all, book mail is the best mail...
TRAVEL || New York - Day 1
Tuesday
My first day in NYC was more of a first evening. We landed at JFK around 4pm, and after waiting for what seemed like an eternity at customs and the luggage carousel, we finally bundled ourselves into the back of a mini-van and headed off to our hotel. We were quite lucky, as there wasn't too much traffic which means we got to take the Queensboro Bridge and see the New York skyline at night...
REVIEW || Find Her - Lisa Gardner
Thursday
“There’s no rewind, or erasing, or unmaking. The things that happened, they are you, you are them. You can escape, but you can’t get away. Just the way it is.”
I don't think I can explain how excited I am about this book. I don't usually read Crime-Thrillers as they aren't my thing, but when I was given the opportunity to read and review Find Her*, I couldn't say yes fast enough.
I...
TRAVEL || New York City - How to get the Best Deal
Tuesday
New York City. It's the city everyone dreams of visiting. The tall buildings that tower into the sky, the bright blurs of yellow taxis whizzing by you, the adrenaline that starts pumping the very second you walk into The Empire State Building, knowing that very soon you will be standing on top of a national icon. It's beautiful. It's magnificent. It's inspiring.
Last month I was lucky enough to...
REVIEW || My Heart & Other Black Holes - Jasmine Warga
Thursday
“Depression is like a heaviness that you can’t ever escape. It crushes down on you, making even the smallest things like tying your shoes or chewing on toast seem like a twenty-mile hike uphill. Depression is a part of you; it’s in your bones and your blood.”
This is another one of the books that I had on my 'To-Read' list for longer than it actually took me to read. I bought it back...
