Just Look At That Weather!


Yes, I am from England so yes, I love to talk about the weather. (Not to stereotype or anything *wink wink*).

Some say that it's a "terrible morning" or a "gloomy day" but I think it's magnificent! We haven had a down pair like this for ages! 

It's not raining as much at the minute, but at 6am this morning when I was out doing my paper round, it was torrential.

Love the weather no matter what it brings! 

Love, M. 

Monday Rant: Aggy Teachers!

Just as a precaution, I do apologize if any of my teachers stumble across this post and figure out that I'm talking about them. I will not, however, be using any names.

Okay, I think that we all need a bit of a rant on a Monday so here I go.

I'm not sure if it's just the weather that's bothering certain teachers, if they're Head Teacher is giving them a pay reduction or they have just turned into moody people over the summer...but why won't they smile for once!?

If what's making them aggy is the fact that they hate my year so much, then surely they should be happy because this is the last year they will have to put up with us. I mean, they've barely even got to see us for the entire year as we leave 2 months before the rest of the school because that's when our exams finish. 

I'm being completely honest with you, this is exactly what one of my teachers looked like today. 


Next scenario: they're being really hard on us because they want us to get the best grades possible. Now, this is slightly true. They do want us to get good grades but not for our benefit; they want us to succeed to make the school look good. I don't know the ins and outs of how a school works, but maybe they get paid higher is they work at an "outstanding" school. 

Why can't we have those teacher's that look like this all the time?

Rant over.
Love, M.

September Favourites

September signifies the beginning of Autumn (possibly my favourite season!) and this means a lot of new things to be excited about.
Firstly, I have been LOVING these Pan Aroma candles for just £1 in from a little shop in my villiage.
This one is Fresh Laundry scented and I haven't lit it yet but I've also bought a Mixed Berries scented one which smells BEAUTIFUL. It really gives off that autumnal feel in my bedroom...and just for £1! I recommend buying 2 or 3 if you see them around because they're a cheap version of some more expensive candles that last just as long! 

Okay, so this ones a bit of a strange one, but I've been loving my new ornament of The Buddha. In fact, it's probably widely unknown that I try my hardest to follow the teaching of The Buddha.
He looks great between my 2 candles on my window sill.

My last big favourite is my new boots from Primark for £15.
 If you've read my previous posts, you'll know that I ADORE Primark and this is one of the primary reasons why. 
These boots are SO comfortable and can work well with so many outfits from a skater skirt with a blouse to a pair of jeans and a knitted jumper.
I've worn them so much and the quality hasn't deteriorated as much as many people would expect a Primark product to.
Grab some while you can!

Here are some other things I've been loving:
1. Strawberry Nutri-Grain bars
2. Tea & Coffee with the sugar replaced for honey
3. ASOS (Free delivery!)
4. Roll neck tops/jumpers
5. Checking the weather! (A very British thing of me to do-I know) 

Love, M.

Feeling Autumnal!

Autumn is one of my favourite times you of the year! Why? Well:
1. It's the season of Halloween 
2. It's an excuse to buy a whole new wardrobe 
3. Newly scented candles occupy my bedroom
4. Christmas is just around the corner
5. Fluffy socks are now acceptable to wear
6. It's the season of firework/bonfire night
7. Who doesn't love the novelty of rosy cheeks and windswept hair?
8. Pumpkins are fun to carve
9. New colours outside; new colours in your makeup bag
10. Crunchy leaves make me happy! 

Just look at this picture: doesn't like make you happy? Embrace autumn!

Love, M.
