With carefree university days well and truly behind me, the cold, dark nights of winter are here. It is often hard to find reasons to be cheerful when your alarm goes of at 6am, and when you wake up to nothing but a rainy, grey sky.
However, November has been filled will little moments of happiness, little moments that made me smile and so I wanted to record these to remind my that winter isn't all doom and gloom.
1) Homemade peanut butter and chocolate brownies eaten warm from the oven with a puddle of cream and a naughty hot chocolate on the side. The most satisfying meal there ever was! (Eaten too quickly to take a snap)
2) Early Christmas preparations, including stocking up on a warm and snuggle winter duvet cover and swapping my lightweight cotton throw for a chunky cable knit blanket.
3) Finding a wonderfully epic and exciting new series courtesy of the marvellous BBC and thanks to the recommendation from MN. The Missing has well and truly got me hooked.
4) I may be a little late to the party but this video did all sorts of funny things to my insides. I keep watching it again and again, each time more appreciative of the beautiful choreography and the power of the lyrics. Thank you Ed, if I weren't already taken, you would be my first choice.
5) Retro sweet friday at work. A real life sweetshop stocked with all my favourite sweets makes my Friday pretty darn sweet! All Fridays should taste this good.
6) A quick trip back to my home town to catch up with loved ones and devour a delicious Sunday roast. Thanks JT for having me, I will be back soon!
7) Finding a fantastic little dance studio where each class just keeps getting better and better. My body ha not felt so wonderfully achey in a long, long time. I have also taken the opportunity to try ballroom dancing for the first time, which has turned out to be a great bonding experience for our happy household.

8) Preparing for the arrival of miss NO this weekend for a few fun-filled days of frivolity, girly madness and Christmassy activities.
9) Getting so close to the end of Dan Brown's 'Inferno' with AN, reading it together has been incredible, living each twist and turn at the same time. Please hurry home AN so we can finally finish it!
10) Kate Spade's latest collection is everything a girl could want and more. Bows, sequins, pretty party dresses and just sheer glamour. I think I need to negotiate a pay rise!
Roll on December!
Mood - warm and fuzzy
