Life Lately│Gym clothes, food & books

Hello everyone!

Long time no see, right? I don't even know why, to be honest. I think it's a mix of two things; I didn't feel quite motivated to blog and so many changes were happening in the crazy shiz that is my life that blogging didn't even come to my mind, I guess.
Anyway,  not that my life is going to be much calmer now, it seems like quite the opposite, but I want to try harder and blog more. We'll see how that goes!
Finally, here are some snippets of my Life Lately; fashion (such as my new gym gear, yuss!), food (rice porridge made from chocolate flavoured coconut milk topped with fruit is my absolute favourite right now), books (I've fallen in LOVE with the Rivers of London series by Ben Aaronovitch. SO good. I might do a separate post about those soon.) and silly selfies with hats.

Hope you enjoy this post. What have you been doing lately?

Life lately│Birthday, vegan baking and so on

Good evening, everyone! Today is my 22nd birthday, it's weird, I don't really feel like 22 yet but who am I to complain, right? Today was a little too rushed for my liking but my Mom came back home from her knee surgery in hospital, so I was really glad. In the afternoon, I met up with my friends Barbara and John and we headed to a cupcake-business-related meeting with our logo/website creator, a crazy-talented guy! Afterwards, I managed to buy birthday presents (long live Lush!) for my friends Jules and Misha whom we're having a bday party with tomorrow. Also I popped at Marks&Spencer to buy some Halloween candy, can't wait for Halloween as I love it to death.

Some of my presents and a manicure I created with the Sephora kit, it was cool but I couldn't have stopped picking at the studs, what a little kid I am.

The first time I'd ever baked vegan stuff. It was pretty tricky, especially the frosting but the result was quite tasty. I still need to perfect it, though.

Photos from our show last Saturday. The first photo's our whole band, Emergency (Paul, me, John) and the second is me with Alex, my dear friend and ex-band mate from my former band.

Finally, I'd like to do a little self-promo! If you like cupcakes, muffins and stuff like that, feel free to check out our Instagram page or like Monster Cupcakes on facebook here. Sorry to be shameless like that except I'm not sorry.

I hope everyone's doing great, I'm now waiting for my boyfriend to arrive and we're gonna watch a movie together. Quite nice birthday!

Life lately

As my birthday slowly approaches, I can’t help myself but feel a little sad. I’m like that, every year, don’t know why, though. Days are getting shorter and darker and Uni starts in less than a month.

So I treated myself a bunch of cute stuff. The pink cableknit sweater and the rose scarf are both from H&M, peach & almond body lotion is from Marks&Spencer, double earrings from Six and I found my little Cottonflower Sephora perfume I completely forgot I’d had (so it counts as new as well, haha). I also bought powder pink slippers at F&F for the colder months to arrive.

I couldn’t have resisted a box of Chai tea bags at M&S, either. So now I’m listening to The Grates whom I rediscovered today, painting my nails pale pink and going to have some Chai teda afterwards while watching Gigolos. Coziness for the win!

Tess.
