Blogmas Day 8 - The Sweater Weather Tag

Hey hey lovely people! 

Now, I know that sweater weather technically refers to Autumn, but here in the UK, I think we've gotten away with being able to wear casual clothes until the start of December, when it became bitterly cold.

Therefore, I'm giving myself the approval to do the Sweater Weather tag, of course, slightly adapted because it's now Winter.

Enjoy!

1. Favourite candle scent?

At the moment, though it's not necessarily a candle, my favourite candle scent is Blonde Moment by WickNWax. Seriously, it smells so good, so much so that I may be melting it right now. It's a mixture of champagne, raspberries and strawberries! 

But, if we're strictly talking about A/W scents, then it HAS to be spiced apple.YUM!

2. Coffee, tea, or hot chocolate?

Hot chocolate, of course! Specifically, a Costa white hot chocolate.

3. What's the best fall memory you have?

Hmm, this is a difficult one. Not so much a specific memory, but going to my local park and taking photos of squirrels in all the golden oranges of Autumn. It just looks beautiful. 

4. Which makeup trend do you prefer: dark lips or winged eyeliner? 

BOTH! Seriously, I refuse to choose. Combination please!

5. Best fragrance for fall?

Hmm, well, I don't really have a specific fall scent, but since I'm doing this in December, I'm going to call it A/W, in which case, it would be Chloé.

When I first bought Chloé, it was on my way to Paris in December, so it always reminds me of that. Is it sad that I'm getting upset about not being in Paris right now?

6. Favourite Thanksgiving food?

See, I wish the UK would adopt thanksgiving, purely for the excuse to eat a load of food! Now, the closest we get to Thanksgiving is Christmas, in which case, I'd say it's between roast potatoes and pigs in blankets. Mmm!

7. What is autumn weather like where you live?

Well, Autumn in Wales is just pretty neutral. The weather doesn't become bitterly cold until December kicks in. 

Autumn here is just kinda cloudy. I don't even think it rained that much too.

8. Most worn sweater?

Easy. Old school, but my grey 3/4 sleeved Hollister jumper with a giant blue H, which I personally think resembles the Hufflepuff logo. Plus, it looks great with a shirt underneath. 

9. Must-have nail polish this fall?

Barry M's Gelly Nail Paint in Paprika, with a matte coat on top. It reminds me of tan upholstery, which I'm pretty obsessed with! 

10. Football games or jumping in leaf piles?

Jumping in piles of leaves.

11. Skinny jeans or leggings?

Skinny jeans. They're so much warmer!

12. Combat boots or Uggs?

Combat boots. I have narrow feet, so wearing Uggs makes me walk like a penguin, way too much room.

13. Is pumpkin spice worth the hype?

Honestly, I couldn't tell you. I haven't tried a PSL, though, I do like pumpkin. 

14. Favorite fall TV show?

Fall TV Show?! Really! Well, this Autumn, I've been loving American Horror Story, and I guess it relates to Halloween so technically...

15. What song really gets you into the fall spirit? 

I don't really have an Autumn song. I guess anything my Haim, they just seem more Autumnal.

WAIT! NO! Sweater Weather by The Neighbourhood.

So, that's the Sweater Weather tag.

Blogmas Day 6: My Top 5 Netflix Series

Hey hey lovely people! I've had a pretty busy day today baking cakes and cupcakes for my cousins birthday party, so apologies in advance for this short post.

Now, I'm the self titled Queen of Netflix. Literally, I watch Netflix everyday. Already have today, planning to after I've written this. 

Because of this, I felt that it was my duty to enlighten you all on my top 5 shows that you need to watch on Netflix! 

Enjoy!

1) American Horror Story

Seriously, one of my favourite shows of all time, so much so that I've rewatched each season a fair few times, baring in mind that I only discovered this in November! 

Each season is separate from the others, meaning that each season concludes with the final episode. None of the seasons are related at all, so realistically, you could start watching at season 3 and it wouldn't make a difference.

The majority of the cast stays the same, with a few changes each time around, but this doesn't deter the show from being any less great. Admittedly, you do question Ryan Murphy's sanity from time to time, but man, that guy is a genius.

Also, let's not forget to mention the tremendous acting every season from Jessica Lange (My Queen, #BowDown), Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters, along with other well known faces like Kathy Bates and Zachary Quinto.

If you haven't started watching this already, what are you even doing?! Start now!!

2) Orange Is The New Black

Perhaps the biggest show that Netflix has to offer, Orange is the New Black centres around the life of Piper Chapman, a self confessed 'white girl', who's life is turned upside down when she goes to prison.

Now, to say I'm obsessed with this show is an understatement. Did I have the season 2 release date stored in my Calendar with a reminder set? Yes. Did I wake up early on said release day to see if it was uploaded? Yes. Did I binge watch all of season 2 in 24 hours? HELL YES!

Again, fab cast and writers, although I don't suggest you binge watch it *Pan to a sad Jade who has to wait until June 2015 for new episodes*

3) Breaking Bad

Another massive cult show on Netflix, Breaking Bad had me hooked (Pun intended).

The story centres around Walter White, a high school Chemistry teacher who's world is shattered when he's diagnosed with cancer. 

Struggling to make ends meet and support his family, Walter seeks the help of former pupil Jesse, in a bid to support his family when he's gone, though, things don't always go as planned.

This show was just tremendous. The plot had me gripped, especially in the third and fourth seasons. 

My only criticism would personally be the finale, though some people enjoyed it. Either way, you've got to watch this.

4) The League

Now for the wild card choice. That's right, I'm a girl watching a comedy about a fantasy league.

The show centres around Pete, Ruxin, Kevin and wife Jenny, André and Taco, all competing in a fantasy league against each other, all for the glory of winning their trophy, The Shiva. 

It's a great, lighthearted comedy that has such a varying cast. You'll easily find yourself relating to at least one character, if not all! 

Plus, how can you not love a show with random musical numbers from Jon Lajoie?! Exactly!

5) RuPauls Drag Race

Can I get an Amen?!

Oooh girrrrrll, how have you not watched RuPaul's Drag Race yet?

Think of it as America's Next Top Model, but with drag queens and a hell of a lot more humour and sass!

Seriously, you can't go through an episode without a smile on your face, not to mention that you have 6 full seasons on Netflix to chose from, though I recommend season 4 or 5, my personal favourites.

So that's my Netflix top 5. I can already guarantee that you'll enjoy at least one of these shows. They're all pretty diverse, but still great
