Autumn Tag

Hello,
So I am sorry I haven't uploaded for a while, I have been at school...anyway I am going to be doing an Autumn tag post with pictures and amazing answers!? 

Let's get started...

1) What item of clothing do you love to wear in the autumn?

Jumpers, they're soft, warm and cosy.

2) Most wanted item for the autumn?

Nice autumnal boots and MORE JUMPERS!

3) Favourite boots to wear in the autumn?

Probably, medium height like the ones above, which have nice wooly material inside and a nice brown colour that are laced up.

 

4) Are you a fan of UGG boots?

Not really they're boring and also the way they torture sheep just to make these isn't a nice topic to think about.

5) It's snowing/raining outside, what are your favourite wellies?

Wellies that my feet can fit in, I mostly prefer plain wellies.

6) What is your favourite autumn trend?

Jumpers over shirts, as they're autumnal, cosy, warm and stylish. I also like berry lipstick. Also I like stylish, fall coats.

7) Do you dislike or like that it's getting darker outside?

I really like it, it makes me feel cosy when I'm home and it makes me want to sit on the sofa and binge watch.

8) What is your typical autumn day consiting of?

There's 2:

 1. Having family coming over and eating soup, then going out to a nice forest walk.

2. Having fall sleepovers.

I know this was short but I will be uploading other stuff soon!

Bye

10 Ways to bring Autumn to your home

Hello,
Today I am going to be doing a post about ways to bring Autumn to your home, if you didn't know Autumn/Fall is among us so I want to make a post to get us all into an autumnal mood. I was originally going to do 6 but I had looked into more crafts etc so there are more ideas...yay. If you didn't notice my background has changed I thought it looked like a September layout so I chose that.

Anyway, let's get started...



1. Do an Autumn/Fall clear out
Start to get rid of anything that is too summery or is a little out-dated (for example: a 4 year old calendar?) and start to put some autumnal coloured things together such as red or yellow. This will make you feel more in the Autumn mood.

Ignore my Batman poster...



2. Adding smells to your home
It's great to add Autumn smells to your house. You can buy an air fresher or a room spray but making one is more fun:
You Will Need:
4 pieces of lemon
3 pieces of orange
2 sticks of cinnamon
2 teaspoons of cloves
8 cranberries

Boil this in hot water and then simmer this, it will smell so nice...the only problem with this is you can't keep it forever but it's good to make if people are visiting. After you have done this discard it. You can use other flavours, other methods are smelly candles, oil refreshers, bake some pumpkin pie or cake.

  

3. Add some candles
Candles are very significant in the season of Autumn and smelly ones especially, I would advise to buy a cinnamon or kind of pumpkin candle etc. It's best not to make candles as there is a lot of fire and heat involved with the process.

4. Make an Autumn to do list
To make this craft buy an autumnal frame such as this one, then put a peice of blank paper, on the actual glass screen thing write your to do list, then tick them off as you go through the day, the next day you can rub it off.

5. Autumn Bunting
Adding colour to your room is vital, it makes it feel brighter and it's seasonal. To make this you can be lazy and buy this but to make it:
You will need:
Some autumn leaves
String 
Pencil
2 pins (if you don't have pins use sellotape or maybe blue tack)

To make this grab your leaves and pierce small holes into each leaf, next pull the string through each hole, then spread out the leaves onto your peice of string make sure this string is a reasonable size. When you have done, get the string and pierce a pin both ends of the string and make sure it goes through the wall so it's secure.

6. Decorate the room with pumpkins
You don't have to grow a pumpkin but you can buy a cheap one from the supermarket or even make one out of wool or felt. Also don't carve them until the 31st!

7. Drink some nice hot drinks
This isn't to customize your room but to get yourself into the autumnal mood. Good drinks to try are: Vanilla Chai Tea, Pumpkin Latte, Hot Chocolate, Black Forest Hot Chocolate and any pumpkin flavoured hot drink. What? 'Tis the season to be orange?

 

8. Bringing nature into your home
To bring nature to your home, go outside and collect some leaves, sticks, pinecones, acorns or conkers to decorate your room.

     


9. Go outside!
Get some fresh air and take a nice autumnal forest walk! This may not be 'at home' but it's very refreshing.
 

Come on that's just beautiful!     



10. Make some autumnal pictures
You can make these with leaves on paper or make a collage on the computer totally your choice!

I hope you enjoyed this, I sure did and I hope your Autumns are great this year!

Top List of My Favourite Bands and Singers

Hello guys,
I am so sorry I haven't been uploading much as I have been to a Summer School and on holiday too but I'm here and ready to type. Today I am going to be telling you my favourite singers/bands (21st century), I might make other posts about songs and singers/bands from earlier eras. My taste in music is quite different to other people's interests I wouldn't say I like alternative, but I like different tastes to pop music. I hope you might like some of these artists if not...who am I to judge? (BTW: I'm going to put my favourites in order). I am also going to pick out some songs I enjoy and link them to the music video (FIY some music videos are just plain weird).


#6-The Last Shadow Puppets

This band is made up of mainly two people: Alex Turner and Miles Kane. The band is together but, Alex sings in the Arctic Monkeys and Miles Kane has a solo career so they haven't produced as much music, but their music still goes round in my head. The genre of music is rock and the songs are very catchy. My favourite song by them had won an award, which I will link onto the song name.

Favourite song:
My Mistakes Were Made For You

Genre: Pop/Rock



#5-Jake Bugg

Jake Bugg is a solo artist of the age of 21, he started off his career as the age of 18 after visiting the BBC for a music interview, he wowed the BBC with his guitar playing skills, folk rock voice and his lyrics which were inspired by his harsh childhood/teenage years living on a council estate. His choice of genre matches his lyrics so well and he writes all his songs himself, since the interview he has released two albums: 'Jake Bugg' and 'Shangri-La' also he has performed at many festivals such as Glastonbury.




My Top 5 Favourite Songs (In Order):
1) Messed Up Kids
2) Taste It
3) Simple as This
4) Lighting Bolt
5) What Doesn't Kill You

Genre: Folk Rock



#4-Miles Kane
Miles Kane is from the Last Shadow Puppets as I mentioned before but him working in the solo career has impressed a lot of people, he is very good at playing instruments whilst singing which makes his music so loveable, my favourite song was also the soundtrack to FIFA 14. So that tune is pretty much world wide.

My Favourite Song:
Don't Forget Who You Are 

 Genre: Rock 






#3-Tom Odell

Tom Odell is a solo artist, he began his career as playing music at music college he moved on to getting a record label, through ups and downs he got nominated and won a BRIT award. Also he got success after singing Real Love for Monty the Penguin the John Lewis Advert.

Top 5 Favourite Songs:
1) Another Love
2) Can't Pretend
3) Grow Old With Me
4) Real Love
5) Hold Me
  
Genre: Pop



#2-Arctic Monkeys 
Above all this band is one of my favourite bands of all time, this Sheffield group has been very successful for the past decade or so, with Alex Turner as the lead singer they bring proper rock to the radio and their music is very addictive.




Top 5 Favourite Songs: (FIY the music videos are mostly audio)
1) Do I Wanna Know
2) Baby I'm Yours
3) Arabella
4) I Wanna Be Yours
5) No.1 Party Anthem
  
Genre: Rock/Pop



#1-Florence + The Machine 
Florence + The Machine is the winner for me, the band is made up of the lead singer Florence Welch and various musicians in the background. The songs are very unique and is again very addictive. Also the band was the lead act for Glastonbury 2015 and have been very successful with their newest album How Big How Blue How Beautiful. 

 Top 5 Favourite Songs:
1) What Kind Of Man
2) What The Water Gave Me
3) Mother
4) Spectrum
5) Shake It Out 
  
Genre: Indie/Pop

I hope you guys enjoyed this post,

Cerys
