Christmas is right around the corner, there's no better way to get you into the Christmas spirit than putting on some Christmas songs and i have a playlist that's perfect for you.
I've been stuck on today's blog post for a while now, so I put my thinking cap on and had YouTube playing music in the background and then it hit me, I haven't let you in on my recent favourites, the ones you put on repeat until you get sick of them kind of favourites.
As I was listing them I realised there were quite a few, my bad.

Lemaitre -Closer
Bastille - Good Grief
Gavin James - Nervous
Twenty One Pilots - Ride

I hope you enjoyed this post, It's not the best but I unfortunately had to go to work today. I hope you had a better weekend than I did.
Its been a while since I've done a monthly favourite's and i thought it was time to bring it back. Between monthly favourites and my photo diaries I'm noticing how fast the year is going by and oh boy it is speeding along.
Anyway's I'm here to tell you about some things I've been loving and depending on this month.
I've had a lot of time off these past two months so this men't I could binge watch TV shows and films without a care in the world and without a time limit.
One of the TV series i began is beauty and the beast. Although it came out in 2012 I only recently found it and with my intense love for anything beauty and the beast regardless weather it's a fairy tale or a modern spin on the tale. I have loved watching it so far and I'm excited to see where the story line goes.
One film that caught my interest since the trailer came out is Be Somebody which Matthew Espinosa stars in. The film reminded me of Disney channels originals movie Starstruck which I have watched countless times.
I don't know maybe its the whole celebrity and normal person romance cliche that internally makes me wish that that would happen to me but since Be Somebody came out I've watched the film 4 or 5 times and that's not something I would normally do. The ending did kill me though, can we have the sequel already?
Onto songs, I love music and I have loved listening to these songs, The first is Nervous by Gavin James. His voice is just so soothing, I really liked this song. The second would be False alarm by Matoma, I came across this song recently and I've had this on a loop.
Another thing I've been obsessing with is the seventeen Instant Glow Shimmer Brick in Gold Bronze. I dust this over my temple lightly and ill then buff the darker shades underneath my cheekbones for more definition. For the highlighter, ill take my pinkie finger and dab the highlighter onto the tops of my cheekbones.
I've been reaching for this more than my other Bronzers and I am loving it.
I hope you enjoyed this post. Do let me know your favourite make up product, I'm always looking for new bits.
How are you all ? Today's post is a bit different but we're gonna roll with it.
So on Friday I went to see Troye Sivan in the Olympia Theatre in Dublin. I'm not one for writing about concert experiences because I somewhat feel like you have to be there to benefit from it but there was such a unbelievable atmosphere at Troye's concert that I couldn't not write about it.
My friends and I had been queuing all day, and we got really good spots when we got in there. So we waited for Troye's support act to come on, her name was Astrid and honestly this was my first time hearing her music and I really liked her. My two favourite songs of her were 2AM and Paper Thin. Since the concert I've added her to my spotify playlist, Thanks Troye!
When Astrid got off the stage, it was being set up for Troye and at this point I was getting really excited. Then at around 9pm the lights went down again and Troye's band came out to get in their places.
Eventually Troye ran out on stage and went straight into Bite and the entire crowd went crazy. Then around halfway through his set he did a cover of Amy Winehouse's song Love Is A Losing Game and I'm even not kidding when I say the entire place went quiet when he first started singing it.
He also sang Suburbia which is my absolute favourite song ever and he also sang Happy Little Pill from his ep TRXYE. Troye then sang Talk Me Down which he claimed was his 'last' song for the night but we all know that was a lie.
He went off stage for a couple of minutes before he came back on and sang Lost boy and ended with Youth.
I've been to a good handful of concerts and that was the best concert out of all of them.
Also before the concert I was lucky enough to meet Troye and he is one of the nicest people ever. If anything I would love to do Friday all over again.
