Leah Pelly: candles

I saw this tag floating about on a few blogs and decided that I would do it. The main reason being that I love Autumn, from the changing colour of the leaves and unplanned walks to cosying up on the sofa with a mug of hot chocolate with the idea that Halloween is close and Christmas is almost in your grasp.

1. What's your favourite seasonal drink from Starbucks/Costa/Nero etc.?

I do have to admit that I aren't very adventurous when it comes to trying different drinks from coffee shops. And I also don't like coffee that much or tea. So I usually stick to the Chocolate Mocha Frappuccino's from Starbucks or Hot Chocolate. Let's face it Hot Chocolate is like the perfect hot drink for Autumn time.

2. Accessories- what do you opt for scarves, boots, gloves?

Layers. layers. layers. Layers is the way to go. I usually wear dresses with thick tights, long scarves, parka coats, mittens (aren't mittens like the cutest things ever?) and bobble hats. This season I am particularly loving ankle and Chelsea boots. I think they are really pretty but also and some sort of masculinity to your outfit.

3. Music- What's your favourite type of music to listen to during Autumn?

I don't think I change my music taste in autumn but there are certain bands and artists that remind e of autumn as I began listening to their music then or discovered their album. Bands such as Little Mix and The Courteeners. Very different- I know but hey ho. Other than that the usual Christmas songs have to make an appearance towards the end of Autumn start of Winter.

4. Perfume- What's your favourite scent for this time of year?

I don't really have a favourite scent for this time of year. But this autumn I would really like to experiment with a new scent.

5. Candles- What scents will you be burning this season?

I really like Yankee Candle's Merry Marshmallow tea lights. They smell like baking and that is exactly what you want your house to smell like when it's chilly outside. I also have a mulled wine spicy scented candle that remains me of Christmas.

6. What do you love most about Autumn?

I love the excitement and magic that Autumn brings. The chilly nights where the weather's not fit for anything apart from staying inside, curling up on the sofa and watching multiple films with hot chocolate. The days where you can stroll through local parks and kick the crisp, fallen leaves with your feet. Where you can wrap yourself up in so many layer sand then head out shopping in the autumn chill with friends or family.

7. Favourite make-up look?

My favourite make-up look for Autumn is a simple cat eye and a bold dark lip. Or a smoky eye with a nude lipstick. Something simple but elegant and pretty.

8. What are you looking forward to the most this Autumn?

This Autumn I am mostly looking forward to the clothes. Don't you think autumn clothes are always the best? And spending time with friends and family during Halloween and Christmas. Also, going to see Ed Sheeran in October. However, I'm sorry Ed October will always be known as Nina Nesbitt's month to me :)

I tag everyone who has taken the time to read this as I am extremely grateful that you have; Thank you.

This week for me has been very hectic. The house is currently being renovated and so it is a complete mess and I have got lots of homework to be doing. So I decided to post about what I like to do to relax and unwind.

Firstly, I like to take a nice long shower with a body wash that smells extremely nice. My favourites being 'Soap and Glory's Rich and Foamous' body wash, 'The Candy Jar's Marshmallow hearts' (available from Tesco) and 'Dolly's Mixtures' Strawberry Daiquiri' (from Asda). They smell very sweet and ultimately makes me feel girly and pampered.

After showering, I will moisturize and exfoliate and then use a face mask to make me feel very clean and relaxed. There's nothing quite like a good face mask to make you feel like your on cloud 9.

Following this, I'll light some candles and make myself a hot chocolate. I'll then curl up on my bed and watch a film (most likely a chick flick... something like Love Actually or 50 First Dates) or lose myself in an exciting novel that no doubt I have read hundreds of times before.

Here's to hoping you have a wonderful evening and I get to finish clearing my room so that I can have one to.
