Cherry Tomatoes and Getting WILD | September Favourites

Hey there!

I've taken a little break, but I'm back with my September Favourites! This month has flown right past me and we are approaching the later months of the year; I can't wait to pull out my boots and sweaters, and cuddle up with a hot drink and book. We're not quite there yet so for now, check out the video!

I want to bring back the 'inspirational quote at the end of each post' thing I did a while back. There are some magical gems hidden within the deep waters of Pinterest, and they occasionally float onto my dashboard.

This quote spoke out to me because since 2015 is almost coming to an end, I've been reflecting back on all the things I've done. I've realised that I have the power to make the day great or blaugh, so it's up to me to drive the car.

*sidenote* I've changed my Instagram from @icygirl79 to @runcold. I explain why in my video, but here it is anyway!

See you later! x

20 Reasons Why I Love Autumn

Hello all!

So you've probably heard me moan countless times about the icky humidity of Hong Kong weather and how we get no Autumn (Summers merge into Winters around here). Surprisingly, as we meld into September the weather has been glorious. Mind you, I've got considerably low expectations of what Autumn should feel like, but the past few days have just been really nice.

Appropriately, Caitlin from Blogging Through The Mirror recently released a '20 Reasons I Love Autumn' post. I thought I'd do one as well, so make sure you check out hers here!

1. Those lovely days when it's sunny, but you feel a breeze
2. Candles seem much more appropriate, so abundantly burning them will not be frowned upon
3. Iced Starbucks drinks with autumnal flavours
4. Cozying up with a good book
5. Nail colours
6. All sorts of boots you can wear
7. All the sweaters
8. The general mood and atmosphere
9. Chillier nights
10. TV shows come back from Summer hiatuses (hello 'The Flash', 'iZombie', and 'The Big Bang Theory'!)
11. Humidity levels lower
12. Major school house events tend to clump around this time of year
13. Exercising outdoors will be more comfortable
14. Horrendous bugs and insects come out less
15. Fairy lights look more magical
16. Lots of Autumn decor revolves around rose gold (or as I associate it with)
17. Salted caramel seems to be a prominent flavour during Autumn and it is absolutely delish!
18. Listening to Christmas carols doesn't seem like a too far-fetched idea (... in my book it isnt!)
19. Everything Pinterest-y and Tumblr-y associated with Autumn
20. Knowing that Winter and Christmas are a mere few months away :)



See you soon! x

August Favourites

Hello all!

How are you all doing? I'm only two weeks into the school year, and frankly, I'm already exhausted! Between school work, extra-curricular, working on dance, and attempting to stick to my workout schedule (key word here: attempting), life has been pretty busy recently. I definitely need to work on getting enough sleep each night...

Aside from all that business, yes, we have finally entered September. Check out my favourites from last month below!

Have a lovely day! x
