Current Favourites | Jan '19

February 01, 2019

Haia,
Oh wow, January draaaaaaaaaaagged. That being said, I do hope you have all had a pleasant month! I thought I'd share some of my favourites from the past month because I always love looking back at my old favourite posts! It's also really lovely to get to share all of your favourite things with others! 



Lucy Watson's 'Feed Me Vegan' Cookbook:
You may or may not know that I am a vegetarian, and have been all my life. I made the decision recently to start making more of an effort to cut down on my dairy intake. One of my close friends actually bought me Lucy's cookbook for Christmas (she knew that I wanted to try more vegan foods). I am always a little bit nervous about vegan cookbooks, as many of the plant-based cookbooks I have invested in previously have been way too complicated and the recipes would cost a lot to make. This book, however, is different. It is realistic and far more simple. Furthermore, the recipes are actually the kinds you want to include in your day-to-life, e.g. a vegan pizza. It has a perfect mix of recipes; from cakes to pasta, porridge to pancakes, burgers to salads....and plenty more! This is FANTASTIC if you are considering going veggie, vegan, or even want to just eat more vegan meals.
Grace & Frankie:
If you follow me on social media, it is no secret that I love this show. I cannot even express to you how much joy this show gives me. It is so funny, clever, emotional, heart-warming and lovely. I cannot help but love all of the characters. All of them...but especially Franke (my girl!) and Brianna. My mam and I love making time to watch a bit of Grace & Frankie together. Just thinking about this show brings a smile to my face. I love it. I really do. Plus, Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda are two of the greatest people ever.
Easy 60s Playlist:
There is something about 60s music that makes me feel hopeful, relaxed and happy. There is something special about putting Spotify's 'Easy 60s' playlist on in the morning.
Call the Midwife and Les Misérables: 
Strangely, this month it has been Sunday evening TV that I have enjoyed far more than Saturday. It has been so lovely to watch one of my all-time favourite shows, Call the Midwife followed by Les Mis. The BBC adaptation of Les Mis, based on the novel rather than the musical, has been rather special; so dramatic, heartbreaking and just wonderful. The cast of this adaptation are phenomenal!
Call the Midwife, of course, remains to be one of my favourite programmes; so heart-warming, emotional, heartbreaking, educational, hopeful and really lovely.
Vera:
My favourite detective has been back on TV this month! I love Brenda Blethyn and I really love Vera. It is another show that my mam and I just love to watch together. So dramatic and engaging, whilst also being really clever and funny! This series has been fantastic so far.
Frankie's & Benny's:
I have always been a big F&Bs fan, but my goodness, they have upped their game! One of the tough things about being a veggie whilst growing up was the lack of options (usually you were limited to one choice on the menu), but things are starting to change now. My friend and I went there this week for a vegan feast as there was a 50% discount on vegan meals, and it's safe to say that I was absolutely blown away by the choices available. I had an amazing vegan burger followed by an absolutely delicious vegan cake! I cannot wait to go back for another meal soon.
Happy February! 
Thanks for stopping by!
Love always,

I love all these songs for so many different reasons. Each song has a different impact on me, and for that I am so grateful to each artist for releasing such fantastic music.

FAVE SHOWS ATM

February 04, 2017

Hey lovelies and a very happy February! Last month was MAD, and due to me having to move out for a few weeks (we were having a kitchen fitted) and a lack of WiFi I was unable to post! :( Sorry!

I was trying to come up with an idea for today's post (due to it only going to be a quick one) and thought, why not chat about my favourite television programmes, as I've been truly enjoying indulging in some new shows this past month or so. Enjoy!


1. Gossip Girl - Gahhhh. Hands down my latest obsession. Can I be Blair? And have my own Chuck Bass.....PLEASE!?!?

2. Miranda Sings: Haters Back Off! - OK, so I wasn't quite sure how I'd deal with this one;  I've loved Miranda Sings' channel on YouTube for AGES, so didn't want to be disappointed, however I must admit, I absolutely love this. Three words: LAUGH OUT LOUD.

3. Gwaith Cartref - A new found favourite! How is it only now I am getting into this show!? It's so good. Really great to see such a fab show on S4C in Welsh.

4. Call The Midwife - This gives me all the warm feels and adds a little excitement to my Sundays! I simply adore it!

5. Modern Family - YES OH YES! One of my all time favourite shows, so I've been quite very pleased to have a new series to enjoy. Love it.

6. Byw Celwydd - This is my favourite Welsh drama of all time, and boyyyyy there is a heck of a lot of drama kicking off. SOOO GOOD and filled with lots of juicy, dark and dirty little lies! Obsessed.

...and I have so many other shows I want to start (including How To Get Away With Murder season 3B! Can't wait!) What are your favourite shows at the moment?? I'd love to know!

Speak soon.

My TV Binge-Watch List

June 21, 2016

Hi! I'm back!

I lost my blogging groove, but now I'm finally back. I've missed you. I'm sorry I was gone for so long.

Today, I wanted to get back into the groove by posting about one of my favourite topics; TV SERIES', so I can share with you my top picks for favourite TV programmes. Please feel free to comment your favourite shows too.

source: here - I do not own.

1. Orange Is The New Black - Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! This is one of those shows that I thought I'd hate, but watched it to see what all the fuss was about....and man, I love it! I'll be honest, it's not the type of show I'd watch with my parents, but regardless it's brilliant! I am only on season2 (despite starting season one last year and taking a break), but I can see myself getting through this show very quickly.

2. Pretty Little Liars - I have loved PLL for years! It's just brilliant! YOU NEED TO WATCH IT! Despite being slightly disappointed by season 6B, I am so excited for season 7 to start back today!

3. Once Upon A Time - I love this show. I love the idea behind it and how the fairytales/stories all have connections - it's brilliant. Give this show a go (if you want)!

source - here - I do not own.

 4. How To Get Away With Murder - OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG. This is the BEST show. THE BEST. WHY?? Reason 1: The storylines. Reason 2: Annalise Keating. Reason 3: The rest of the cast. Reason 4: It just is.

5. The Real Housewives of Cheshire - RHOCheshire and RHOrangeCounty are my guilty pleasures! I have really been getting into the RHOCheshire especially recently. They give me so many laughs...especially Tanya.

6. Friends - .....does this need explaining??

7. Call The Midwife - This show gives me all the warm and fuzzy feels. It's such a lovely BBC drama. I love it.

source - here - I do not own.

8. New Girl - OKAY THIS IS THE BEST SHOW TOO. I feel as if I am best friends with the characters - I have grown to love them so much (plus, I have a major girl crush on Zooey and Hannah, can I look like them??...please??)

There we go! I had so much fun expressing my feelings with regards to TV shows. As you can tell, I am extremely passionate about them!!

Thanks so much for stopping by...

Lots of Love,
