A Week Of Happys #2

LOOKING BACK
I really enjoyed doing this post last week so why not do it again, eh? Here's a few things that made me happy last week. Happiness starting now...

1. LEON: THE PROFESSIONAL 
Leon is my favourite film and I watched it again this week, and it just makes me so happy. Leon is so cute and I have a huge weird crush on him (to the point where I named my plant, Jean Reno, after the actor... <3). Watching Leon again just confirmed why I love it so much.

Leon and Radler to celebrate my last night at uni. 

2. BEACH DAY
We went to Chichester Harbour last week, which is a lovely little beach crossed with countryside. The weather was gorgeous and it was just so nice to walk along the seafront in the sun! Plus we had scones, so that bumped up my happiness levels quite a lot.

3. FINISHING UNIVERSITY
I finished my first year of university this week, and it's so crazy because this year has gone hella fast and it only feels like a few months ago that I nervously started. I have loved my first year of uni, and to be honest, it was hard not to when I live on the most gorgeous campus ever. We have sheep and cows in all the surrounding fields, and I get to walk past lambs on my way to lectures. Oh god, it's so great <3 And as if the animals weren't good enough, my course is the best. I study creative writing which means I just to write stories and talk about books. Living that ultimate bookworm life yo.

4. BEST HOME AND AWAY EPISODE EVER
I'm a huge fan of both 'Home and Away' and Simon Baker, so when you combine those two things it gets excellent results. Simon Baker (star of TV show 'The Mentalist') is Australian and was in Home and Away when he was much younger (I think from about 1993 to 94, ish) and they showed an episode starring him last week. The best thing about it? He was on the beach wearing just Speedos. Amazing :')

5. EMIL AND THE DETECTIVES
My mum and dad went to London last week and whilst there they bought me a beautiful hardback edition of the book Emil and the Detectives! We used to listen to the audiobook of this in the car when I was really little and last year I saw the stage show of it with my Mum, so it's quite a big part of my life. And this lovely hardback edition is a very welcome addition to my book family.

6. RICCARDO
Riccardo is my little avocado tree baby and I love him so much (probably an unhealthy amount actually). He lives with me in my uni halls, but unfortunately is now too big to bring back and forth too often, so during holidays I have to leave him at uni by himself :( When I went back to uni for a couple of days last week I was very excited to see that he grown a new leaf. BUT that's not the best part! (He grows new leaves all the time and whilst I'm always proud of his leaf efforts, it's not as exciting as the first few.) The exciting part was that his new leaf had grown in between branches rather than at the the top of his trunk like usual. This means he is hopefully going to start growing outwards rather than upwards! #proudplantmother

The smallest leaf in the middle is his new one!

THIS WEEK

A Week of Happys

LOOKING BACK
It's officially a new week and so what better time to talk about what made me happy last week? Here are six things that made me smile over the course of the last week...

1. CAKE
Cake always makes me happy, but Wagamama puddings bring a smile to my face slightly more (Wagamama in general makes me happy actually).

2. AVENGERS
I went to see The Avengers: Age of Ultron last week and I loved it. I love the humour within The Avengers movies, and this one was full of moments that made me laugh. I'm a big fan of Quicksilver in the X-Men Days of Future Past film and so when I saw that character was going to be in this new Avengers film I was a little bit excited (plus Aaron Taylor-Johnson playing him <3), and his character was just as great as I had hoped!

The cinema was so packed I couldn't even get a seat next to Jade...

3. MAC RETRO
I did a whole blog post dedicated to finding this lipstick after it being lost for a few weeks, so you can probably gather that it made me very happy. MAC Retro is definitely my favourite lipstick and not only did finding this make me smile but it made my lips looks rad as heck at the same time.

4. COFFEE
Like cake, a good cup of coffee always brings me joy, but I had a lovely few hours at the Farnham Maltings (it's a venue for plays, gigs, and a lot of other things too) Café last week, just sipping coffee and nibbling scones while I waited for my sister to finish work.

5. EUROVISION
Eurovison was on last week and that programme is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face. It's so weird and I love it. My family all picked countries out of a hat and then scored the other countries performances out of ten. Whoever had the highest scoring country won the sweepstake! I had the worst countries who all had terrible songs, hella uncool guys. BUT, Sweden were my favourite so I was glad they won. But I was digging Australia and Belgium too.

6. HILLTOP HOODS
I never used to be a fan of hip hop, but when my sister came home from studying abroad in Australia she introduced me to some Australian hip hop artists and since then I've been hooked. And so when Hilltop Hoods announced they were touring Europe I was hella excited. Tickets went on sale on Friday and I quickly snagged two tickets for me and Jade (the sister) to see them play in Camden in August. I've never been to a concert that isn't a rock concert before so this is going to be a completely new experience for me, but still HILLTOP HOODS. Also they're bringing Thundamentals who I've started listening to and they're pretty damn great.

ONTO THIS WEEK
