MOOD BOARD | DECEMBER

D E C E M B E R .

A little late with this one - sorry!

I've been relaxing at home since Friday and allowed myself the weekend off from work and any responsibilities before I delve into the Mount Everest sized pile of assignments I have to tackle.

I love that I get a good month's break from university. It means I get to celebrate December properly!

One of my favourite months due to all things CHRISTMAS obviously.

I particularly love whacking on the Elvis Christmas album and watching my all time favourite Christmas movie 'A Christmas Story' (go and watch it NOW if you havn't seen it already!). Christmas food and baked goods are also at the top of my December list, along with a good batch of mulled wine. Mmmm.

INSTAGRAM | #5

I have waited a while to do this one.

Mainly due to the fact that I have been very busy with work and I have not been baking/having all that much fun to document via photographs! But hey, here we go.

Here is a little round up of my life the past month in INSTAGRAM (from L-R):

1.  Fake tasche's and drinks for David's birthday.

2.  A badass batch of Mulled Wine!

3.  Home made Birthday Banoffee Pie.

4.  A rather sunken attempt at an All Bran loaf.

Usually a fail-safe recipe if you DON'T forget the baking powder!

5.  My first article in print for the Leeds Student newspaper.

6.  A beautiful winter sunrise.

7.  Me being silly with tinsel prior to a Christmas Meal.

8.  Toffee Pecan Mess!

9.  My White Chocolate Granola Blondies getting their bake on!

MOOD BOARD | OCTOBER

OCTOBER.

Time to start piling on the chunky knits and fur coats.

I am lacking a pair of decent booties this year and in desperate need of a good pair to get me through the Winter. I am loving this pair from Topshop, but alas...they are £95.00(!) and this is just an inexcusable amount to spend considering my student budget.

Plus...when did the high street shops get so expensive?

I saw my first pumpkin in Morrisons this week and I may or may not have squealed with a bit of joy. I couldn't bring one home though on top of my weekly shop, they were huge!

I am however looking really forward to overindulging in pumpkin EVERYTHING over the next month.

I will do a round-up of my favourite pumpkin recipes next week.

And mulled wine...oh mulled wine!

And if you want to find me this month I'm more than likely to be tucked away in the Brotherton Library doing dissertation research with a steaming thermos full of coffee or under my furry throws watching The Great British Bake Off sipping on a frothy hot chocolate.
