Sunday Summary #39

Autumn is definitely making an appearance. We've had loads of rain this week, the temperature is dropping and the leaves are falling from the trees. Can't believe the clocks will go back next weekend, its already dark early. Its been getting dark while I wait for my bus home after work so it'll be depressing to go into and leave work in the dark. Thursday night was date night with my boyfriend and we stopped for tea at a pub. I had my first every curry! I really enjoyed it, I had a chicken korma and was amazed how un-spicy it was, more fruity. I used to hate spicy food so much but in recent years I've come round to it. I've learnt little tricks if my mouth is on fire. I'd been dying to see the Perks Of Being A Wallflower so we went to see that. I haven't read the book and didn't know any of the content but was amazed at where the story went at the end. I'd been in tears quite abit (Christmas Eve, flashbacks and typewriter moments) and really didn't see the ending coming. I thought Emma Watson was brilliant as Sam and Logan Lerman as Charlie was exceptionally believable. We were in the premiere suite which is so nice at our Cineworld. It has its own bar area and the screen itself is very intimate but private. The seats are much bigger and comfier, with much more leg room. Very excited for the release of the new Bond film Skyfall next week, but our cinema just got IMAX so all the good times are for that screen. Is it worth it? 

I booked tickets to London with my Mum towards the end of November. We're going Christmas shopping and she wants me to see the lights on Oxford Street etc. I haven't seen them since I was younger so it'll be nice to appreciate them as an adult. I love London so much and I'm very exciting to be going soon. I'm off shopping next weekend with my boyfriend to get his main birthday present (early!). He told me ages ago he really wanted a Superdry jacket so I decided to get him one but I need him with me to pick the design and size as I think they come up smaller and there will be some instances he'll have layers on beneath it when its cold. Plus I want him to be able to wear it as winter comes but his birthday isn't until the start of December. So when I let him on in my plans he was so pleased and we set the first date we could to go. Plus we need to travel for it and fortunately for me there is a Lush and MAC nearby too! Win win. I'm really interested in the MAC By Request collection but I want to see it in person before I buy. Plus its much more exciting shopping in a MAC store rather than online, even if I do spend much more in a store than online as you see me. I also want to visit Topshop as my local one doesn't stock the make-up :( and I need to look around Superdrug and Boots for the Rimmel Kate Moss Matte lipsticks. My local Boots has suddenly become appalling at stocking products, especially Rimmel. I want the 1000 Kisses lip tint in Stay Very Berry, but I can't find one. Plus they have the Kate Moss Matte lipsticks but as there aren't any testers, the lovely girls in my town have used the stock!! I'm dying to get back into a Lush store, I love them so. I usually miss the Halloween goodies so I'm hopeful to get something this year. 

I've been a good girl again shopping wise. I am getting so excited for Christmas as I got two more amazing presents for my boyfriend this week. He is so easy to buy for! Thinking of taking my Mum to a musical and I'm undecided for my brothers. My friends are very easy to buy for, and I often see things whilst looking about. If I don't find anything in London I might start panicking as it'll only be a month until the big day! 

Last night was my littlest brother's house party for his 18th. It was a very late night, with me having to nap on the lounge floor as I was just so tired! It felt so odd to not be part of a teenage party. When did I get so old?! The party went very well, no problems, except a faulty fire making me panic there was a fire! We're very fortunate to have a big enough house, that the party could be in the back and leave the main house relatively in peace, except for the bass from their sound system. Been so sleepy today, me and the boyfriend watched Breaking Dawn Pt 1. I got him to watch them with me in exchange for Star Wars but I hadn't seen Breaking Dawn. I was amazed at the acting and the storyline and how ill they made Bella look! So excited for Part 2, I haven't read the books and I'm dying to see how it all ends! Plus they have a vampire baby! And Jacob imprinted her! I need to calm down.

 My babe carried these home for me, decided to get some proper weights to do the Shred with rather than using cans of cocktails...

Everyone has started raving about the 30 Day Shred lately, which is exciting as it really is an excellent way to exercise in the comfort of your own home. I haven't actually done the shred for the entire 30 days as I became poorly and just couldn't continue. However I saw amazing results for the 10 or so times I did do it. I managed to loose my little belly pudge and tone my stomach somewhat. I'm planning to do the entire 30 days in preparation for party season so I will let you know how I get on. 

Hope you've all had good weeks, 

Sunday Summary #12

Quite a quiet start to the month. My hayfever has reared its ugly head and it hasn't been pretty. Planning a blog post on all the medication I take to make life easier and a product which amazes me in how effective it is. Rediscovered the Nintendo Wii with my boy and had so much fun. At points we were crying with laughter. Our favourite games have been Mario Kart and Carnival Games. Got my eye on the Mario Olympics 2012 and still want a Wii Fit. Our Wii was living in the cupboard until my brother set it up for me in January and can't believe we ever put it away! Loving the fact I've got today off, love a bank holiday. Had a chilled out Easter, the boy came over yesterday evening and I'd been busy tidying my room and making cakes so left my posting until today. Got my boy on my right playing Mario Kart and my boy kitten Ronnie on my left looking adorable.

Stone baked pizza with my boy for lunch, seriously good. Easter baskets I made. Baileys. My Easter cake. Decorating my buns. Ronnie asleep next to me. I made chicken supreme for tea thursday. Collecting the Cake Decorating magazines. Wilkinsons lilac baskets. Pretty Primark plimsoles. Primark tops. Olympic knickers! Cute character tees. Asda tops. Another blouse, lilac theme this week much?! Taking the plunge with bodycon dresses. 3 for 2 at Boots picks. Owl necklace. The boy's Easter presents from me. The book I'm reading. Bramble from my boy.
Been trying for ages to get back into reading and just finished Sophie Kinsella's I've Got Your Number, such a great read! I've read all of hers but by far I like her stand alone books than the Shopaholic series. All of her books make me giggle and her recent ones have been brilliant. I've also read most of her books under her real name Madeleine Wickham, I would highly recommend her. I love Anna Godberson and Bright Young Things is set in the 1920s. Only a few chapters in but really like it so far. Whenever I'm struggling to read I always go for a teen book, I'm hoping to get into the Twilight saga soon as I gave up when I last started reading it. My friend assures me I stopped just before it got exciting. As you can see I've resumed acquiring clothes. I've loved bodycon dresses for a while but they seem to go two ways: really right or really wrong. I'll save these for the summer because I can't wear black tights with them. I got a size bigger too just for some slight more fabric haha. Saturday I could have kissed my Blackberry. I was just settling in for a dvd night, got out the bath and taken my make up and had a choice of three ultimate girl dvds: Dirty Dancing, Grease & Spiceworld, but got an urgent call to collect my littlest brother. My Mum's medication has just been doubled and I'm not on her insurance so we had to walk. Had to leave in half my pjs and then desperate for a quicker route in a confusing estate I used my Blackberry maps, saved us so much time and worked like a dream. Not had very much chocolate so far (!) but about to have lunch so that could change.
Hope you all enjoyed Easter and spent it with loved ones.

Take Care

Post title inspired by Drake's second album. I am completely in awe. He is so talented and his voice is out of this world. I love the way all the songs link seamlessly into each other. Have to admit I'm not Rihanna's biggest fan but love her "We Found Love" track. Again the same with Nicki Minaj however I love the "Make Me Proud" track on Take Care. Haven't listened to anything else all week and don't plan to change that :)


Onto my next Models Own Beetlejuice polish Purple Blue.

 It's multi-dimensional with pink, blue and purple appearing. I am convinced it has a finer Disco Mix glitter in it, looks like it to me. Even though I have one more Beetlejuice to wear I think this is my favourite. I saw something about Models Own releasing another collection at the end of this month. I will leave my Mum the details this time!

This week has been about raising money for Children In Need. I love our charity bake sales at work. Had coca cola chocolate cupcakes yesterday although I couldn't taste the cola! I was planning to post a picture with my ears on but have gone sans make up and top knot today. Didn't get my tattoo today after all. Had the most awful headache Wednesday which was still epping away Thursday and as it'll be my first didn't want to push myself (imagine I faint or something haha). 
Hope you've all had a good week, can't believe we are closing in on December. This year has flashed by. Going out tomorrow after work for a meal and drinks. Actually so excited, feel like I really need a good meal, cocktails and social time. As usual was planning on wearing heels but yesterday had a really strong pain in the ball of my foot, almost like I've pulled a muscle beneath it. Hoping it goes away, not noticed it today but been at home so haven't been walking much. 
Love Em x
