Best Books of 2019

I have had a pretty good reading year this year - massively stepping up the amount of books I've read from 10 books to a whopping 57! I've made a real effort to read more this year, trying to put my phone down and pick up a book a bit more. And it's paid off! I've thoroughly enjoyed almost everything I've read this year, and I want to celebrate the very best of the best.

Lush Christmas Haul

You've probably seen my recent Halloween Lush haul, and know how much I love the launches at this time of year. I can never resist the festive products - they're always some of my favourites. Once I dipped my toe into the Halloween products, I knew I'd also need some Christmassy ones too.

Grace and Honey Candles

I love watching Becca's YouTube channel and learning about the different books she's read and loved.  I'm also a huge fan of candles, especially since moving into our flat, so when I saw Becca made her own candles, with a bookish theme, I knew I'd have to order at some point. And now with the winter weather finally closing in, a candle haul was 100% necessary, and I wanted to share which candles I picked up with you!

Day of the Dead Feasting | Wahaca | Gifted

I've always been a fan of Mexican food and have enjoyed eating at Wahaca in the past. Despite already visiting the restaurant, however, I didn't really know much about the chain, except that it was co-founded by MasterChef winner Thomasina Miers. Last week, I was invited along to their Día de Muertos celebrations, to learn a little more about Wahaca as a brand, the food they offer and the culture they celebrate*. Safe to say that after a round of margaritas and plate upon plate of delicious food, I was in love with Wahaca.
