Hello! Autumn is creeping just around the corner and i'm finding myself constantly thinking about cosy clothes, what bobble hat i'm going to wear first, and what winter coat i'm going to treat myself to. Call me keen but i can't be the only one planning ahead for winter... right?
In other news, happy belated hump day everyone! Yesterday was officially my one year work anniversary and i honestly can't believe where the time has gone. One whole year! I still feel like i'm fresh out of university but i really don't think i can say that anymore. To celebrate, I made more of my (if i say so myself) amazing chocolate cookies as a little treat for the whole team. Bless they were so pleased, i really should bake for them more often (or just bake more in general ya know).
So... chocolate cookies, a couple (too many) g&t's, cuddles off Lola, and excessive amounts of pesto pasta - i think i'm onto a good one this week and it's only Wednesday!
Here are 10 things that have been making me smile recently...

Here are 10 things that have been making me smile recently...
1) My saturday morning alarm including my dad, a cuppa and a chocolate biscuit. He really is a gem, even if i am the grumpiest sod in the morning when i've been woken up...
2) Beanies irish cream instant coffee... a cup of this at work in the morning feels like such a treat. Is it bad that it fools me into thinking i'm drinking alcohol at work? hehehe.
3) Peacan nut and butterscotch waffles for sunday lunch? fuck it why not! I mean who needs a roast dinner anyway...
5) A certain little payday treat that may or may not involve a new Jo Malone perfume. I'm such a sucker for the Peony and Blush Suede fragrance but this time i've gone out of my comfort zone and bought one of their newly released scents called British Oak and Hazelnut. It smells amazing... the perfect woody scent for Autumn.
6) Much needed time spent with the family. I'm really feeling the pressure at work recently and last week it was lovely to chill out and spend time with my parents and really take my mind off things, even just for a little bit. Family really do keep you sane.
7) The perfect breakfast spread before work. I'm not going to lie, but breakfast is something I rush at my desk every morning. I'm usually sat scrolling through my emails or some important document shoving fruit and yoghurt into my gob. With my parents here wednesday morning, we decided to have a sit down breakfast before they set off on their long drive down south. I'm talking fruit, yoghurt, croissants the lot <3 It was heavenly. I really don't know why we don't make more of an effort to have a sit down breakfast more often?
8) A 'Night Gorgeous' text message that restored even the tiniest little bit of faith that some men can be good eggs *queue fuzzy feelings.

9) Exercising, treating myself after and not feeling one bit of damn guilt. I'm definitely one of those 'i work out so i can eat cake' kinda girls, who's with me?
10) Thinking about the bigger decisions. This can be daunting but it can also be really exciting! There's something so liberating about taking control of your life and going after what you want.
