Week In Pictures #9

I meant to do one one of these posts last week but I never got round to it so instead I lot I would do a bit of a round of for what i've been up to in the last couple of weeks. I haven't been up to anything exciting this week as i've felt a bit rubbish for most of it. I think it could be the change of season as i've just felt run down and headachy; hopefully next week will be better.

Rufus went on a little dog vacation whilst my Mum was away last week and it's been so good to have him back. I actually missed going out and taking him for walks. He's clearly glad to be home and sleeping in his favourite spot on the sofa. My skin has required a little more TLC recently so i've been reaching for some new face masks. My favourite has been The Body Shop Honey & Oat 3 in 1 Scrub Mask, this has been helping to deeply clean my skin whilst making it feel moisturised, I featured this in my September Favourites as i've been loving it so much. I blogged about my recent DIY Canvas Art and it's definitely inspired me to do some more creative things around the house. The next room I plan on decorating is the hallway which is a bit plain at the moment. The highlight of the recent weeks has to be seeing The 1975 live in their hometown, Manchester. It was an amazing night which has gotten me even more excited about seeing The Neighbourhood next week!

As also i've been drinking lots of tea and baking again. The Twinings Soothing Camomile & Honey tea is a new favourite of mine, it's the perfect night time drink. I've also been making my own granola and chocolate chip banana cookies; both tasting amazing. Next time I make my granola I think i'll post the recipe as i've got it pretty spot on now. I also made soup from scratch this week, the minute it gets that bit colder I crave soup; this one was sweet potato, red pepper and carrot. I've also been having more driving lessons and i'm getting to the stage where I finally feel like i'm getting it. We've been going on longer drives and even attempted a few turns in the road.

TV:
I recently started watching Boardwalk Empire and i've become a little obsessed; I love anything set in the 1920's. The acting, writing and costumes on this show are all so good and I managed to get through season 1 in a week. As I said, i'm a bit in love with this show. Of course i've also been watching the Great British Bake Off, I love this show so much; I adore Mary Berry, not so much a fan of Paul, although is anyone!? It's the final next week and I really want Richard to win, if you're watching as well who do you want to win?

I also did a guest post over on the lovely Georgina's blog all about three of my favourite plum lips; here if you fancy a read. 

So that's about it for what i've been up to. I've been trying to not spend too much however seeing all the Christmas gifts being out now is definitely making it hard. I've also been trying to find a good pair of boots for the Winter, I think a shopping trip is on order so I can try on lots of pairs. What have you all been up to recently? What beauty products do you currently have your eye on?
