Hi all,

I chose this picture because of the lion. I was meaning to get a picture of Alnwick Castle which I did get (as you will see in Some of My Favourite Things post). I was in a car at the time and love how the lion snuck in xD and the sky looks amazing

Some of My Favourite Things

Hi all,

Welcome to my favourite things post :)

This week has been pretty quiet, as usual xD. Next week is going to be very busy for me though, going to see some uni friends, my sister is leaving for 2 months to Thailand and going to a ceilidh, which i'm told is a scottish country dance. So a lot happening :). 

So to my favourite things, 

Firstly is my badge I got from TeeFury with my Bagend Brew t-shirt. I came seperately to my shirt so totally forgot about it. XD I love it! 

Next is this lip balm. I have already had this on my blog when I purchased it but I love it! Much better then Chapstick! 

I purchased this yesterday from work, for £9.99. I liked the look of the film from the trailer and I really liked it. Was an interesting film and so badass xD 

Not an amazing picture....but it's Alnwick Castle. I love the landscape around it and  how it looks from this bridge :D 

Lastly is my new scarf. It's from New Look, it was only £4 in the sale :). Its a lovely dark red cable knit one :) andso much warmer then my last :D 

Well that's it for this week, what do you think of my new series? Any ideas for anything else would be welcome :)

MyGeekBox January

Hi all,

My geekbox finally arrived :) first one of the year, so pretty exciting! I wont lie, I forgot the theme this month....I believe its superheroes? Oh what a fail! Lol oh no wait it was justice lol  

So lets get this show on the road, 

Sir Socks trying to be nosy, little rascal 

Here is the geekbox magazine, its now a lot bigger :) and has more in which is cool. Love a bit of Assassins Creed :) 

Sir Socks being nosy...again xD this is the t shirt for this month. 

Heres a better picture without the cat head in the way xD. I quite like this one, its different, I don't think I would have purchased this myself. 

The pop figure for this month is pretty cool :) Robocop. Nice one to add to my collection :) 

Also included is this stupid keyring. As you know I dont really like DC so this will not be going on my keys xD If you like Batman then its pretty awesome haha 

This next product, is cool, well the fact its an energy drink is cool xD but I do like Superman better then Batman though.

 And of course to add more DC to my life 😨 they had added a DC Justice League comic.....

Overall, not too bad but not much stuff I personally like which is why I may subscrbe to infinity crate, this box allows you to input your interests so that your box is personalised to you :D 

Shall be back again next month with the 'Sidekick' themed box :) 

What did you think of this box?

My "Me-time" Tag

Hi all, 

I have been tagged by my friend over at Genius Vs Beauty to do the "me time" tag, thanks :) Here we go. I do love a tag post :D 

1 . What do you watch or read during me-time?
Well anything Jane Austen is always included in my me time, as well as The Big Bang Theory, Merlin and Supernatural. Reading wise, I like a good Egyptian history book or a nice romance :). 

2. What do you wear during me-time?
My Harry Potter Joggers and Hogwarts Jumper of course xD 


3. What are your me-time beauty products?
I don't usually spend my me-time on beauty products, unless it's painting my nails. I would prefer to read.


4. Current favourite nail polish?
Oooo there are a few, my favourite brand right now is Barry M in a variety of colours. A few are Chilli, Watermelon, Cancun and Cobalt Blue.


5. What do you eat or drink during me-time?
Easy question! A cup of tea and a cream scone! 

6. Current favourite candle?
I don't really have a favourite. I do have a glade (i think its glade) which smells of berries which is nice. 

7. Do you ever have outdoor me-time?
Hell yea! I would be happy just laying on grass looking at the sky. In the summer I used to go to the local woods, haven't been in a while though :( 


8. Would you ever go see a movie alone?
I have already. Although when I first walk in I feel like a bit of a div, once the film starts, i'm not bothered xD. I went to see Frankenweenie, Great Expectations, Mortal Instruments and Bad Neighbours (not on the same day).

9. Favourite online shop?
It's between Amazon, TeeFury and The Jane Austen Giftshop. 


10. Anything to add? What else do you do during me-time?
I'm a huge fan of TV shows, so thats the main thing when I'm not reading. I also enjoy writing letters and short stories or just organise my lovely desk. Sometimes I play my Xbox, although that hasn't been for a while. Also, Star gaze with my telescope.

I hope you enjoyed my tag 

I now tag The Ramblings of a Madhatter

Some of my favourite things

Hi all, 

Thought I would try and start a new weekly series of my favourite stuff from the week :) I will try not to include pics you have already seen but as I have mostly worked this week and not much else, there isn't much to see xD. I hope you like this new series and come back each week to see :) 

So let's begin :) 

Firstly I have chosen the book Love, Rosie by Cecelia Ahern (previously published as Where Rainbows End). I finished this in a day, it was so good. I really loved the story and the way it was written! Definitely recommend. Can't wait to see what they did for the film. 

Next up is the TV show, Merlin. I have started the show from the beginning, again after I found it had been added to Netflix. I absolutely love this show, and have watched it quite a lot this week. 

I bought this in the week and it was a really good film, intrigued with what the next film will be about :)

This is a seagull that was sat near our car while we ate McDonald's. Bless him, it was so windy that day, he almost got blown away a few times :/ I really felt for him, and that is saying something because seagulls are mean little toads xD 

Lastly is my sewing box, I have had this wooden box for a while but only just started using it to store my excess Christmas chocolate. I got too many selection boxes, this should last me the year and now I'm rid of them stupid cardboard boxes :)

I hope you liked my favourite things. Each week will be a mix of products, to shows, food, things that happen and actually anything I enjoy about my week :)

Hope you come back next week :) let me know what you think too

Bits and bobs

Hi all,

I thought I would share what I picked up in the Metro Centre last week :) 

Firstly there is this Jane Austen book I got from The Works for only £4.99 :) it's a pretty good book that covers a lot. Haven't had the chance to read it yet but for the price it can't be bad. 

Now for some stuff from Primark, I loved this manicure set and it's perfect for your handbag :) couldn't resist buying it for £2.50 :) 

I have way too many socks as it is but I fell in love with these cable knit socks. I believe hear were £2.50

I had to get this hat for my Harry Potter collection! This was £5

I picked this up from Superdrug (can't remember price :/) this is an amazing lip balm, it actually smells like cherry unlike the cherry Chapstick :/ 

Next few are Superdrug too, NYC had everything for 2.49 so chose this eye shadow set for brown eyes. Have yet to try it. 

This bb cream was the same price. And haven't tried it yet xD 

Now this was such an impulse buy, it was only £1 and was such a bright colour, I wanted to see what it looked like on. Yet to try this either though 

I picked up this game from Cash Exchange for £5! I haven't started playing it and it's very good :)

This pyjama set caught my eye instantly :). It's from Primark and was only £5, it's from The Fault In Our Stars which is an amazing book and film. 

Then finally these Harry Potter jogging bottoms! I have wanted some of these for months! From Primark, for £10. The first ones I saw were grey with hogwarts on and there are a few to choose from but the sizes were all too small. I finally found these in my size and had to get :)

My Harry Potter clothing collection is getting out of hand xD 

Well hope you liked what I got, shall let you know what the eye shadows look like :)
