Mind The Gap

Christmas countdown: 17 days!

Do you like the snowflakes? I added them after my last post :)
I wanted something wintry as my posts aren't going to be festive until closer to Christmas, and I thought they were just too cute.

I'm starting to get into the Christmas spirit now :D

I went to Ikea yesterday and bought three packs of tealights (30 pack), and more fairy lights!

I've got a crazy obsession with candles, and it's escalated...

But hey, it's the build-up to Christmas, everyone's going a bit crazy now!

Hiya!

I learnt a dance to 'Me Ol' Bamboo' from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang yesterday for an audition (which I don't think went that well, but it was very fun anyway). I had the song in my head today though and I've no doubt annoyed everyone I've been in the same room with.

Well, carrying on!

Here's today's photo for you to ponder at:

It's a fairly recent one, but I'm very impressed with this - for a photo taken on my phone...

I used a filter, you can probably tell, though I tend to stay away from them. This one makes everything warmer and increases the contrast between light and dark, so even though it was cloudy and it had just rained, it appears as if the sun is shining and everything is golden.

The light in this is gorgeous, I just love the glowing platform and tracks.

I love you

OCTOBER FAVOURITES...

Hi!

I'm probably going to be away a lot in the next few weeks - important exams coming up! I'll try my best to update often, but for now, let's get on...

Book:

Alfie Deyes 'The Pointless Book' - it's absolutely adorable, the cutest thing ever. For you people who like PointlessBlog on Youtube, then you probably know what I'm talking about - 'cute' and 'adorable' truly are the best words to describe this little an-activity-a-page book.

Food:

Cookies and Cream Kit Kat - Omnomnomnomnom...mmm.

And also dried mango, from Costco. When I eat dried fruit, it makes me feel healthy, and then I realise how much sugar they put in it, and then I get sad and eat more.

The story of my life :(

Person:

The person who designed candles - I love candles so much now! It all started with a Babybel, and now I'm lighting candles all over the place! Anyways...whoever started the designing and making of candles, thank you.

Song:

There are three:

Chandelier by Sia

IDGAF by Breathe Carolina - the music part (I have absolutely no musical knowledge on songs and parts of songs) is amazing!

Bad Girls Club by Falling in Reverse - I bit of a strange favourite, but I like it surprisingly ;)

Method of procrastinating:

Staring at candles - no kidding... I usually light a few candles, and then just stare at them to make sure they don't spontaneously set the whole house on fire. I also like watching YouTube videos, reading, and dancing to music :)

♥

I love y'all, goodbye!

BABYBEL CANDLE!

Hi everyone!

I made a Babybel candle! I didn't even know if it was going to work or not, but I knew that the red outer layer of Babybel cheese is just wax, so I wanted to experiment. I actually made the candle yesterday, but I didn't have time to light it and it was too windy outside (I didn't want to blow up my house!) so I did it today. It failed at first, most likely due to the very tiny amount of wick I had left out to light, but after the wax melted a bit, it worked - my experiment was a success!

This is how small it is - so cute!

One of the many failed attempts before it died... Also, failed focus :(

Hallelujah! The wax melted - thank god I lit the candle outside!

Some art :)
They're all the matches I used (I know, old-fashioned all the way, right?!)

And finally, the result!

♥

Random, but it was fun for me, so...

I love y'all, goodbye!
