Hello you lovely lot!
So...I'm just gonna say it, rip it off like a bandaid? IT'S NEARLY CHRISTMAS.
Anyway, after that bombshell, lets get on with this. 2016 is coming around so quickly, I still feel like its 2012? I will be 19 next year, when do I officially get my knitting needles and rocking chair then?
It's also that time of the month (not that time of the month....) where I write down a list of all the things that have made me happy in the space of the last four weeks. What an odd concept. Better get on with it then!
This month has been my first full month at Uni. The month I've realised that I buy way too much lipstick for my own good and overall it's been a great month! I have learnt a lot of things and I'm the happiest I've been since Summer. I think I've also changed quite a bit in the past month but they do say you're like the five people you spend the most time with which would now make me a mixture of my 5 flatmates or maybe my english friends.
Beauty / Skincare :
I can't believe this wasn't my favourite last month?! I bought it a few weeks before I moved to University and I've used it nearly every day since then. I really ought to buy a new one to be honest because my one is getting harder and harder to clean and it's starting to look a bit gross.
Real Techniques - Miracle Complexion Sponge

This is honestly a miracle worker. I have the worst spots and when I use this to put my foundation on, I like to think you can hardly tell. I have discovered that dampening it first also helps because it absorbs less foundation. I never use my buffing brush anymore and I used to swear by it. The only time I use it is when I can't be bothered to wash this. It does take a bit of scrubbing to get all the makeup out but I have learnt that it will never be as clean as it was when I bought it. It just makes my makeup go on a lot smoother and I think it wastes a lot less too. I especially love using this with my M.A.C foundation but I only use that for special occasions nowadays since I can't really afford to be buying every time I run out. Definitely a must have!
Music :
I don't even think this needs an introduction...
Made In The A.M. - One Direction
This had to be my favourite this month even though it's been an amazing month for Music what with 1D, Little Mix and Justin Bieber all releasing albums. I have yet to listen to Biebers and as much as I love Little Mix's, this just tops them all off. I think this is my favourite One Direction album ever. It's full of amazing songs and there isn't one that I don't love. I could sit and listen to this all day and I don't think I would ever get bored of it. I now just have to wait till I can hear it live (trying to convince myself that this will happen soon and I will not have to wait till I'm 50 for a reunion tour...)

TV Show :
This month there has been a show that I've FINALLY been able to watch again after not being able to find a link here at Uni. Eventually my friend Lizzie found one and I am forever grateful to her, so now I'm binge watching...
Dance Moms
I am honestly obsessed with this. I watch at least two episodes a day. I'm in the middle of season three and can't wait till I'm caught up. From the girls who are in season 3 (Maddie, Mackenzie, Nia, Paige, Brooke, Kendall, Asia and Chloe) my favourites are Mackenzie, Chloe and Nia. I can't stand Abbey but I still watch it. I don't like a few of the moms but their fighting still amuses me. Even though the episodes are pretty much the same every week, it's the most addictive thing I've ever watched!
Photo :
I have five his month (sorry, I know it's a lot). I went home this month and saw loads of my friends and it was so lovely and I couldn't just pick one. My friend Chloe also came to visit at the end of the month so I have a photo from that too!
Me and Gemma
Me and Paige
Me and Ruth
Me and Giorgia
I loved going home so much. It was so nice to see people I know well and people who know what I'm like rather than constantly being with people who are still trying to figure me out. I think I've finally found a friendship group at Uni and I am so happy because they are all so lovely but it's nice to get back to something familiar .
Me and Chloe
I'm going to write a whole new blog post on Chloe coming but it was lovely having someone I knew on the campus. We had a lovely time and it was one of the best weekends I've had since I've been here!
Purchase :
It took me a while to work out what my favourite purchase was this month but it's actually something I bought whilst I was with Chloe.
I love Disney mugs (and when I say love, I mean LOVE). I saw this and knew I had to have it. I've wanted it for a while and when I had a bit of money, I thought...why not?
What's Exciting About Next Month?
Next month is CHRISTMAS! However, apart from that, I am going home three times in a row and the last time I go home is when I'm home for christmas! I get to see all my friends, in particular Amy, who I have an emotional reunion planned with and Natalie! I haven't seen Natalie since around August? It's hard when your best friend lives so far away!
Thanks For Reading!
