A Mother's Day Treat



If you weren't aware, today is Mother's Day! If for some reason you forgot, make sure you show your Mum some love today whether that be through a gift if you're busy or by spending some quality time with her. 

As well as a gift, I baked my Mum these strawberries & cream biscuits. Small things like this that you have put time into are some of the best gifts that your Mum will love. You could make tokens that she can trade in at any time for 'a cup of tea' or 'a free hug' or anything else creative; there's no need to break the bank!

Of course, if you are very busy, try and find some time to see her and give her a gift that she might like, remember, the price doesn't matter, she'll love whatever you have put thought into. 

Happy Mother's Day!

Merry Christmas!




Since It's almost Christmas (4 hours to be exact) I thought I'd write a little Christmas message on here to the small minority of the world that read my blog. I know there's not many of you, but blogging is something a little different and, whilst it might not always be the most exciting or easy thing to do, when I create a good post that I'm proud of, it makes me really happy. 

I'd like to wish you all a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year! If you don;t celebrate Christmas- have an awesome day :-)

Also, I have many ideas for blog posts, I just have to find the time (and motivation) to do them. One of my new year's resolutions is to post on here at least once a week but you'll hear more of that in my new years blog post- or video if you watch my YouTube channel. 

That's it for this year, I hope you had an awesome 2014 and that 2015 is even better! 

See you next year,

The November Playlist

Unfortunately there will be no more  'Songs of __' posts, but don't worry; I will be 'renovating' this series and my blog during December (and hopefully continuing)! It will be called something different and be set out a little differently. Instead of linking to videos, I will create a playlist that will automatically play when you come to my blog and it will change each month with the posts. Some will be new songs that I've found and others will be old favourites- just songs that I've been listening to a lot! Since this is the first post, it's only going to be a short playlist, but at the end of the year, it will be a playlist of my favourites of the whole year so prepare yourself! Here I introduce The November Playlist- enjoy! :P



1. Homesick-
Catfish & The Bottlemen
2. Blank Space- Taylor Swift
3. Yours- Ella Henderson
4. #icanteven- The Neighbourhood
5. Don't- Ed Sheeran
6. Change- BANKS
7. W.D.Y.W.F.M?- The Neighbourhood
8. Girls- The 1975
9. The Hanging Tree- From 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1'

Songs Of October


It's time for me to share my favourite songs throughout October!

Firstly I have a couple of artists.

The Neighbourhood have always been one of my favourite bands since I discovered them but recently, I've been listening to them a lot more. I think 'Leaving Tonight' and 'Honest' are the two songs that I've listened to the most. Also, the video for 'Let It Go' is pretty cool.


Next is BANKS. I love love love her music and I can't stop listening to it. She's definitely become one of my favourite artists. Her album 'Goddess' is amazing. I've been loving her live acoustic performance for Tiny Desk Concerts (Unfortunately not on YouTube, but it's online. I have it on now!) Brain is probably my favourite song of hers.


The 1975, as you probably know, are my favourite band and they released a new song called 'Medicine' as part of a project for radio 1. The song is amazing- it's relaxing and beautiful and I'd recommend you give it a listen.


Next is a cover Little Mix did in the live lounge. Again, you might know I love Little Mix. I've seen this before but I've been loving it this month.



Since I've have quite a few songs this month I'm going to paste links of the rest here for you to listen to and enjoy :)






Question of the blog: What are your favourite songs this month?
