Week In Pictures #10

I haven't done a week round up in a while so I thought I would as I have a few things to share. This week i've been trying to finish up my Christmas shopping as I hate leaving it till the last minute. We also put up the Christmas tree which has helped me to get into the festive spirit a lot more.

We had to buy a new tree and lights this year and it has made a huge improvement on the thin tree we had before. I also got Rufus an advent calendar, I didn't even know you could get ones for dogs. I've been back on the healthy eating kick and i've been enjoying trying to come up with tasty, filling dishes. I still enjoy baking the most and tried out a new healthy cookie recipe which is seriously amazing. I might put up the recipe next time I make them as they turned out so well.

I've become a bit obsessed with fairy lights and candles. I'm still using the Yankee Candle Wax Melts which I hauled last month. I made a festive garland for the window with some beads and fairy lights we already had that looks so nice at night. As with any Week In Pictures post here's a few pictures of Rufus, as always he's sleeping surrounded by cushion.
Podcasts
I love podcast for when i'm walking around, blogging or doing housework and like most people i've become a bit obsessed with Serial. Serial is a podcast which tells the story of a murder week by week. Each episode you learn more about the case and what mistakes were made. If you like crime dramas you will love this, be prepared to want to listen to all the episode in one go though.
Books
Since I finished my degree i've enjoyed reading a lot more. I'm currently reading Amy Poehler's book Yes Please. I love Amy and this book is making me love her even more; which I didn't think was possible. It's funny, yet she drops in great advice along the way. 

So those are some of the things that i've been up to this week. It's been so cold this week that most of the time i've just wanted to hide under a blanket with some tea and watch Netflix. Luckily that's only happened some of the time. Have you done anything festive this week?
