AD, Gifted | This past weekend Aaron and I popped to Birmingham for an early birthday treat. I had booked us tickets to see Scouting for Girls for his birthday, which are one of his favourite bands, and we decided to make a weekend of it. National Express* kindly gifted us two return tickets on one of their coaches for our trip. For those that aren’t familiar with them, National…

The Doctor Who Tag
Today is Doctor Who Day! Also known as TARDIS Day, which celebrates the day Doctor Who first aired on the BBC, back in 1963. Since Doctor Who is one of my favourite TV shows, I wanted to mark the occasion on my blog in someway and thought what better than answering The Doctor Who tag? I first stumbled upon The Doctor Who tag on Cassie’s blog Zombie Goddess Beauty (you…

Eco-friendly Christmas Ideas
AD, GIFTED | Chirstmas is a joyous time of year for most people full of celebrations, spending time with loved ones, and of course gifts. But it’s also a very wasteful time of year too. In fact the UK on average produces 30% more rubbish than any other time of year. Of course there’s no right or wrong way to celebrate the Christmas period, however, if you’re looking for a…

I’ve been attending various comic con events throughout the UK (and one in Germany) for the past 11 years now. It’s the perfect way for me to spend time with like-minded people, meet up with friends I don’t see very often, and meet some of the actors and actresses I admire. But as the years have gone by and comic con has become more “mainstream”, the crowds have certainly gotten…

This or That Halloween Tag
Happy Halloween! Tonight I’ll be watching the sequel to The Shining, Doctor Sleep at the cinema with my family… A horror movie on Halloween night? My idea of the perfect evening. 💖 But while I’m laughing at my mum jumping at a horror movie, 😅 (sorry mum!), I thought I’d celebrate here but answering the This or That Halloween Tag, which I found on Mama’s Losin’ It. This Or That…

Fancy Dress Kit Essentials
Throughout my childhood I’ve always loved dressing up whether that be for World Book Day, fancy dress parties with my friends or, of course, trick-or-treating on Halloween night. And, to be honest, not much has changed in my teen or adult years either. I still love fancy dress. I think my love of fancy dress was largely influenced by my parents, who always got involved with our costume planning, whether…

Favourite Halloween Movies
It’s that time of year again! Yes, October is finally here, which in our house means lighting candles, carving pumpkins, and watching as many Halloween movies as possible. It really is my favourite holiday (seconded only by Christmas)! I mean, what other time of year is it socially acceptable to eat sweets, dress up in a spooky costume and binge watch horror movies ’til your hearts content?… Please tell me…
