The Books I Want to Read in 2016

Happy New Year Blog readers!!! Hope everyone had a fantastic New Years Eve!

I thought I would kick off 2016 with a blog post on the books I want to read this year:

Tiny Pretty Things by Sona Charaipotra and Dhonielle Clayton

Gigi, Bette, and June, three top students at an exclusive Manhattan ballet school, have seen their fair share of drama. Free-spirited new girl Gigi just wants to dance—but the very act might kill her. Privileged New Yorker Bette's desire to escape the shadow of her ballet star sister brings out a dangerous edge in her. And perfectionist June needs to land a lead role this year or her controlling mother will put an end to her dancing dreams forever. When every dancer is both friend and foe, the girls will sacrifice, manipulate, and backstab to be the best of the best.

What's Wrong With Being Single?

This is a topic that has been brought to my attention recently what with the majority of my friends being loved up or in relationships.
This being the case most people seem to think that because you are the single one you must be looking to date or find a relationship.

My answer to this is no!

This added with the ever more frequent "Don't worry you will find someone!" Leads me to think there is a massive stigma especially on females that if you are single you must not be happy!?

I'm going to give you a list of reasons why I am happy being single:
- I can do exactly what I want when I want
- No relationship drama
- More time for hobbies, friends and family
- You can get away with being lazy on the grooming (no need to be perfectly plucked and made up to impress anyone)
- You can be selfish have lots of 'me time' pamper evenings, watch girly films, eat that whole pizza to yourself!
- No heartache - cause isn't that the worst thing about dating?

Don't get me wrong I'm not anti-relationships and am very happy for people who are loved up.
I just feel content with being young and single at the present.
I have more time for myself, hobbies, friends and family and that makes me feel fulfilled.

I've had my fair share of heartache it would seem that dating in this generation either doesn't exist or isn't exclusive and being a person with old fashioned values I find that hard to get behind.

So I'm taking a break not because I am unhappy purely the opposite I am happy with how things currently are. This could all change dependent on the right person but let's get rid of the stigma

Single can mean happy!

Flamingo Candles: The Melt Crowd Christmas Box

It's that time of the month again for the review of the Flamingo Candles melt crowd box. I must admit I am lagging behind with my blogging this month what with Christmas and everything tis the season to be busy!!

Yankee Candle Advent Calendar

Who doesn't love advent calendars? As a child having a chocolate advent calendar in December was the most exciting thing!

This year however I have opted for a non-chocolate advent calendar and when I saw this Yankee candle one I knew I had to have it!

I'm obsessed with candles and scents so an advent calendar filled with christmassy scents sounded like heaven.

White Hot Chocolate on a Spoon

It's that time of year where you just want to sit inside with the fire on drinking hot chocolate and watching Christmas films.

I am a massive fan of hot chocolate and always like trying new flavours! 

So when I saw these hot chocolate spoons I had to try one! Especially being the massive fan of white chocolate that I am.

Discontinued Chocolate Bars That Should Be Brought Back

The other week I found the holy grail of chocolate bars while shopping in an American Sweet Store. The white chocolate Twix I remember having one of these when I was younger and then they just disappeared. It got me thinking what other great chocolate bars have disappeared over the years so I've put together a list of the ones that I think should be brought back.

Mars Delight - Mars with wafer yes please.

White Chocolate Maltesers - Maltesers are amazing anyways add white chocolate into the mix and that is heaven.
