The Autumn tag


We are well into the swing of autumn and the weather is definitely flying along with that too, the wind and rain is just been causing havock so what better to do than the Autumn tag. I have taken these questions from my old blog post but the answers are for me know and not 5 years ago. Let's see how things have changed.

1. What signifies the start of Autumn for you?

It would have to be the middle of September, when the kids are fully in school and the leaves start to fall. The weather is still a little confused but there is just a different vibe

2. What is your favourite Autumn scent?

This would have to be a really cosy scent, one of our favourite wax melts is autumn leaves and I also loved a sweet pumpkin scent. Just something that makes the house smell cosy.

3. What is your favourite Autumn colour?

This would have to be dark green and dark red! These both scream Autumn/Winter to me. 

4. What is your favourite Autumn drink?

Anything hot, a hot chocolate or a warm latte, I recently tried a pumpkin spice latte which I actually enjoyed more than I thought I would.

5. What TV show, new or old, are you looking forward to this Autumn?

I'm really not sure, we're currently enjoying the voice and Brassic has started again. I am looking forward to the Gavin and Stacey Christmas special but that is a way off yet.

6. What is your favourite Autumn fashion trend?

A chunky cardigan is my favourite item, I also love my new chelsea boots but they are a little uncomfortable right now, I need to work them in some more. 

7. What is your favourite frugal Autumn activity?

I love Autumn walks looking for conkers/acorns but I also love making leaf garlands with some dry leaves, some thread and glitter too. We have one up every year and love making them.

8. What is your favourite makeup look come Autumnal weather? 

Something simple and fresh, I still like to wear my spf moisturiser with some mascara and I also use lip balm daily. If it's a make up day then a darker eye shadow and a rose toned blush any day.

Autumn has to be my most favourite season, it's the one where the cosiness starts, Halloween is great and the planning for Christmas starts. I hope you enjoyed finding out a little more about me.

Autumn Tag

Hello, I thought that today I would take part in the Autumn tag so you can all get to know me a little better, I took part in this on my old blog many years back and a lot has changed since. Autumn has to be my favourite season with so much change and the excitement for Christmas not far ahead. 1. What signifies the start of Autumn for you? I know Autumn starts at the end of September but for me its the first of November when it starts to officially feel like Autumn, it all of the sudden feels different and colder after Halloween and especially when the clocks go back too. 2. What is your favourite Autumn scent? My favourite autumn scents are either Orange or berries, they always make the house smell so warm and toasty in wax melt form and I love them in a hand cream or even a bubble bath scent too around this time of year.. 3. What is your favourite Autumn colour? My favourite Autumn colour has to be the burnt orange for the leaves but burgundy colour for clothing, the are just very w...

Cottage pie recipe

I have recently started making my own Cottage pie with a recipe that I have tweeted to work four our fussy family. I find that a cottage pie is such an Autumn/Winter staple as it feeling like such a warm, hearty meal, one that is a proper comfort meal.  I recently started making the meal and found that I didn't have a packet mix in so decided to find a recipe to try out, the first one I found sounded good but I changed it slightly to fit our family, Lils isn't keen on fresh onion ad none of us like celery. I thought I would share our recipe with you which can easily be adapted if need be. Recipe 500g Beef Mince 1 carton of tomato passata  1 tbs tomato paste 1 beef stock cube 1 beef stock pot 1 tsp onion salt 1 tsp garlic granules 1 tsp mixed herbs 2 medium carrots sliced and part cooked Salt and pepper 3 large potatoes for mash 75g cheese Method 1. Preheat you oven to gas mark 4/180oC 2. Brown off the mince and drain off excess oil from the pan. 3. Pour in the pass...
