Tea Time & Books...

29th October 2016

October Favourites.

Sainsbury’s Gluten Free Biscuits 
These are an absolute god send. I’ve tried almost every gluten free type of biscuit I could get my hands on. The toffee ones especially are my favourite and it makes me sad that they’re only limited edition but I suppose that just means that I’ll have to stock up on them!!

Converse Trainers

I got these for my birthday at the beginning of the month and I have lived in them ever since. I love them so much, I’d forgotten how comfortable Converse were. These are the sort of trainers that I’ll keep in the box just to keep them extra safe. I feel like they are a bit smarter than my normal Puma’s or Nike’s, so I wear them if we have somewhere nice to go for dinner, I definitely don’t think these are the type of trainers to be running errands in. You can find them here.

Okay so I’ve been obsessed with this website. At first I joined just because I assumed thats what you did when you started a blog. And then I started to get into it and started following other people and now I check the app every morning to see whats been happening. I think this is such a great tool to keep up to date with peoples blogs and to find out about whats being posted and what the buzz is about.
 
 
Eating Gluten Free

This might be a weird one but I’ve been gluten free for almost two months for health reasons. At first I didn’t really think it was making much of a difference and I sort of struggled finding things that were GF that I actually enjoyed eating. However this month I’ve noticed a change. I don’t feel as bloated or heavy after eating and I just generally feel better in myself. Everyone will feel differently on a certain diet and someone else that eats a gluten free diet may not feel great. But for what I’m dealing with right now, I’ve found that not eating gluten means I’ve been able to eat more during meal times because I don’t get too full and I have less of an upset stomach, which is definitely a plus in my books.
Taylor’s Sour Cherry tea

I’m a big fan of herbal teas and have been for a few years now but I’ve been on the hunt for an exciting new flavour to mix things up a bit. (Yes, I consider mixing up my herbal tea flavours as exciting.) I happened to stumble across this in Morrisons’ along with another flavour which was rhubarb something or other, but I’m not a huge fan or rhubarb so decided to go down the sour cherry route. I love the fact that the colour of the tea matches the colour of the packaging and from what I’ve seen this is a theme throughout all the flavours. I think thats such a cute idea and honestly that had me hooked. I really like the flavour of this, it’s just the right amount of sour with just a hint of sweetness that comes through at the end. I can’t wait to try out the rest of the flavours in this range.
Greys’ Anatomy

So I wasn’t really sure how I felt about the last season of Greys’, a part of me felt like I was just watching it because I’d committed myself to the other 11 seasons so I had to watch the 12th and I ended up having a love/hate relationship with it. There were story lines and parts that I really enjoyed, like the April/Jackson storyline but some of the other bits felt forced and instead of sitting down for 40 minutes and engaging completely with it like I had before, I ended up just putting it on in the background and kind of tuning in and out randomly. However, after just the first episode of season 13 I’m back in love. It has the heart back that I felt it had lost and had a feel to it very reminiscent of the first few seasons which I loved. I love the focus on Alex and Meredith, and seeing how their friendship has evolved over the years into what it is today. I can’t wait for the rest of the season now, and will definitely be sitting down with a cup of hot chocolate and giving it my undivided attention.

Away from my bookcase for all of three nights, yet need all the options because I've nearly finished my current read, 3 new books and a kindle is reasonable right? ✌️
Anyone have sections of their bookshelves they jus Anyone have sections of their bookshelves they just enjoy looking at? 🤩 I chucked my recent purchases on my shelf the other day and really like the way they looked together, sad I know, but it's the small things in life 🙈

I always get sucked into the 99p deals, I'm a sucker for a deal! However, is it a deal when you have hundreds of books on your kindle already that you haven't read yet? 🤣 This month I picked up:

✨️ The Enigma of Room 622
✨️ Happy Place 
✨️ The Wolf and the Woodsman 
✨️ Notes on Heartbreak 
✨️ Her Majesty's Royal Coven 
✨️ Merideth Alone 

Have you picked any of these up? Read any? Let me know! ☺️

Have I been telling absolutely everyone who would lend me an ear about how absolutely fantastic this new musical is? Yes, yes I have! I booked this back in November on a complete whim! Mostly because in the email I got, it was described as "part Mel Brooks, part Six, part Hamilton with a side order of One Man, Two Guvnors", and if that doesn't hook you I don't know what will! Other than the brief synopsis in the email, I went in blind, knowing nothing about the show, the music or the actors but man do I want to shout about them now. 

Firstly, the Fortune Theatre felt like the perfect kind of venue for a show like this, surprisingly intimate and like you were actually involved in the action. From the very first song, I was hooked, I knew that I was in for a good one! The actors were all absolutely  phenomenal, each one with comical timing that was absolutely on the money along with some fantastic pipes that were definitely easy on the ears. I laughed, I teared up, I didn't want it to end, everything from the music to the staging was absolute perfection if you ask me. @spitlip aren't a group I'd heard of before, but certainly won't be one I forget fast. I will absolutely without a single doubt be going to see this again before it closes, and only pray that it actually sticks around. Potentially the best new musical I've seen in a very, very long time! Go get your tickets now, old chap! ✌️
