My Autumn Favourites


I love Autumn and how cosy it is. I also love staying inside and getting comfy. It's the end of April and I thought that maybe I'd share with you a few cosy things that I'm absolutely loving.

 Dusk Candle
Recently I got given a dusk soy candle and it was such a special gift. Dusk's soy candles are gorgeous and smell absolutely divine. The one I got was Blood Orange and Grapefruit scented. This candle was specifically recommended by a staff member in the shop and I am grateful of her opinion because this candle is my personal fave and I highly recommend it for yourself or a great gift.
Can be found in dusk stores all over Australia or online at:https://www.dusk.com.au/products/blood-orange-grapefruit-1-mini-candle-20hrs

Four-Veronica Roth
I recently read Four, an extra book in the Divergent series and I loved it. Veronica Roth originally wrote this book before Divergent but didn't think that it was right so then, four years later she picked the story up again and wrote Divergent from Tris's perspective.

 Typo trinket tray
Recently, typo was selling some really pretty trinket trays. They are called Alpha trinket trays and they each have a letter on them and have gorgeous colours too. I just think these are a gorgeous touch to your room and so handy too!

 Hugo-movie
I love this mysterious movie of friendship and despair. It is a little dark and rated PG but definitely suitable for 10+ year olds. It is about a boy who's father dies and he has to move to the train station and work the clocks while trying to fix an automaton that his father left him and uncovering its secret. I really love this movie still, it is great for all ages-adults too!

Taylor Swift-1989
This is my favourite CD. I have had Taylor's new album for quite a while now and I love all of the songs without getting sick of them. They are really catchy and mainly upbeat. It is a worthwhile album to buy.
(available in the iTunes Store)

Rory's Story Cubes
I've had these Story dice for quite a while now and I really enjoy them. There are 9 six sided cubes each side with an image on it. This helps me with ideas for stories to write when I'm stuck. Also, I've used them in a birthday party when we each got a dice and included what we rolled into the story. There are also heaps of different types of dice:https://www.storycubes.com

Tag Notebook
I couldn't go through my favourites without showing a notebook. This one is so cute. It is smaller than a standard notebook but still decent. The text on the front says: Dream big, sparkle more and shine bright!

Appleletters
Appleletters is a really fun game that scrabble fans will love. It is great for travel and includes tiles with letters on them and all you need to do is make letters from the tiles and connect them together exactly like scrabble.

 Bluebird Bag
This gorgeous, pink bag is so pretty and I really want to use it more. It is small so I only use it for shopping trips and stuff like that. But I think it is one that is a really nice present for older girls too.

 So I hope that you have enjoyed reading this and try a few things that I like. Please feel free to comment some positive feedback. 
Thanks!

A Monster Calls - Patrick Ness

Image
I stocked up on books from the library to read over the holidays and one of the books I picked up was  A Monster Calls  by Patrick Ness. I must say that this dark and mysterious book wouldn't have been the type I would usually go for, but I was intrigued by the dramatic pictures that crept through the pages of the book. I enjoyed it too, not in the way you would normally enjoy a book, but in the way that makes you read more and more, and when you're not reading it, you're thinking about it. Also, it's one of those books that, once it ends, it takes a moment of pondering when you stare blankly into space and give several satisfied sighs. Yeah- it's one of those books. It begins with a character called Conor. His life is pretty hard to say the least. His mum's cancer is getting worse and one horrific nightmare haunts his sleep. Then, the monster calls. Conor's mum always said it was a yew tree, but this yew tree turns into a monster who is taller than th

Goodreads

I am a hungry bookworm who is constantly hunting for new, delicious books to devour. Up until quite recently, I've had trouble finding the right books and good opinions on them. Since I discovered "Goodreads", an app and a website ,( https://www.goodreads.com) most of those problems have been solved.  "Goodreads" is an online site with thousands of reviews, ratings and recommendations on books. Any books can be searched and marked as "read", "to read" or "currently reading". If a book is marked as "currently reading" there is a option of entering the page number that you're on and the percentage of progress through the book will be shown. With each book comes its blurb, information on the author, a rating out of five stars based on heaps of personal ratings, and finally, many comments and reviews from other readers.  One of my favourite things about "Goodreads" is the fact that there are so many revi

The Beginning of my trip in EUROPE!

Image
I apologise for my absence from uploading blog posts for the past few months, but it is partially due to a family holiday spent in Europe. Spread throughout this post and several other future posts, I’m going to share with you my amazing experience and recommendations from all over the continent in the cities of London, Dublin, Paris and Rome. Firstly, in London, there were so many famous landmarks and buildings to see, we didn’t run out of things to do until the end of the week. Highlights included Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace and the British Museum. I found Westminster Abbey absolutely incredible. We bought audio guides and got tickets to see inside the Abbey, it was definitely worth it. The building is very old and the architecture is amazing. On the walls and even under the floor are the burial places for the most famous people of British and European history. The sculptures and decorations covering the coffins and tombs are very detailed and there were endless
