Thankful Thursday | Vandalism, Friendly Support & Interviews!! (Not related with each other!)

Happy Thursday to you all,

The golden leaves have finally hit the ground. The gloves and woolly scarves are out of the press and farewell to sun-kissed, bare legs.

I have been buying the supplies in for winter (hibernation has begun!) such as boxes of various teas, warm jumpers and socks and don't forget bath must-haves. This season I want to feel and look natural. This means lip balms, simple jumpers, simply styled hair and moisturised hands. Who doesn't want to feel warm and soft!! Oooooh, like a snuggly teddy bear :)

Today I managed to pass an interview in M&S while being tested by role play. I upped my game on the role of St. Theresa, I was very patient indeed! "MAKE UP YOUR BLOODY MIND!"
Also I may have got lost in Ikea with a delicious hot dog, accidentally whammed the passenger door to the car beside me, the scratch wasn't at all noticeable *cough*, then ended the amazing day with a luxurious bath and scented candles.

My 'Thankful Thursday'

Flat shoes - they may not flatter us girls but who cares! Be mature enough to know you have no chance in surviving the day in them! Duh! Slippery pavements out there.

'Austrailia' - I may have stolen borrowed Dads Dvd. Well I showed him before heading into the airport, so he knows! God, Hugh Jackman has this power to make me smile! That's his true power!!

Quiet Library time - the smell of the classics and the sound of keyboards

Spending my Amazon gift card from my College

Getting a compliment from a stranger at the bus stop - makes anyone's day!

Lentils, rice and eggs - don't judge now. It actually tastes delicious

Being helped by a girl on line! - Before this interview at M&S, Anna from A whole lot of chitty chat really helped me out. She's very considerate and has been emailing me for two days now! Girl if you're reading, thank you for the support and for being there :)

Gingerbread latté & chocolate cookie while on twitter sitting in 'Costa' and watching people pass by

Happy to have a family that will walk through fire for me! #DaddysGirl

'Selfie' - just makes me laugh so much! - I was a little afraid to see Karen Gillan as an American (so used to her from Dr.Who) but she pulls it off effortlessly

'Gilmore Girls' have been there on my quiet days, when no one is around and I get to laugh while doing some chores

What have all of you been up to this week? Was there anyone that made you feel happy with yourself this week?

Thankful Thursday

I want to have a kitty cat, so I can put a whooly hat on him. Too CUTE!

This guys is my final Thankful Thursday in London. I shall be in Edinburgh this time next week... *bringing on the 'Oooooos'* Yeah I know! Amazing!

Carrying on, my week remained quite positive, especially with receiving word back that my suspected glandular fever was negative. THANK YOOOOOU DOCTOR! Now I can be happy with my holidays, with no worries. Throughout yesterday and today I've been looking over bit and bobs over at Canterbury. I'm still amazed by its beauty. I happened to have met a lady today, who went there for a day, for her new years resolution. She was awestruck by its charm, beauty and historic features. The young lady said she'd been inside the Canterbury Cathedral and described it as magnificent. The cathedral itself is supposedly where I should be graduating in 3 years time... *fingers crossed!*

So my Thankful Thursday

Eating out in the beer garden with some of my college peers and head tutor - Meditteranean platter board was enjoyable with the witty Peachy.

Getting an evening off from work - got to watch the England Vs Italy match.

Ed Sheerans music (both old & new) - opening up little parts of my soul.

Ella Henderson has been a pal to me this week, with going for countryside walk.

Bob Marley for making me see what truly matters in life!

Lidl chocolate - as good as any other.

Daily phone calls with the brother- discussing the matches (I'm fuming with Englands defenders tonight)

Being told by my mum how she's proud & jealous of my music - finally got her jealous.... kidding! But it's always good to know it's appreciated and supported.

Printing & checking-in for my flight back to Ireland.

Completing my portfolio for College... amazing how I did everything!

Buying gifts for tutors - they can't be thanked enough for everything they've accomplished with us.

Strawberry Activia yogurts.

Baby Daddy Finale!!!!!!!!! Dan the Man!

Burning candles.

Thank you for reading pip squeeks,

I hope you had a week for feeling thankful for,

A Ramble Round London & a New Travel Journal

I love trips to London, especially when I get little things I like.

I stayed Friday night with my lovely American/British friend Jaz in London and we set out the next day (her 19th Birthday) looking for boots and making a trip to King's Cross.

She has never been and well come on! Who doesn't want to go to the Harry Potter Gift shop?

My friend Jaz has this Pikachu bag and she gets noticed all the time.

Not only does she get noticed but she seems to have this strange luck about her. I'm not sure whether the luck is good or bad. For instance, when we were walking along Oxford Street, there was this little car (picking up rubbish) coming along the pathway. Now did she move? No, it was as though she were in slow motion just staring at it coming for her. She then said 'Sh*t', in front of someones face as well. The lady just stared at her, so funny!

Things have got more expensive here in this shop at Kings Cross, but it didn't stop me from buying some little purchases.

AGAIN, Jaz was noticed for her bag pack. We were asked by some chirpy staff member whether we wanted to line up and get our picture taken, with the Platform 9 &3/4 wall, along with having Pikachu in the cage. You can barely see, but Hedwig is there.

I couldn't wear Harrys glasses as I am in Slytherin House. But hey, I'm proud of it :)

After we had our photos taken, the staff that worked there all jumped in for a photo with Pikachu. It was hilarious!

If you don't want to buy anything at the shop, it really doesn't matter. Just go along for the look and meet the friendly staff that work there.

Bought a bit of stationary in the shop.

I was thinking how people who have this kind of job, how do they get to work? The train? Bus?

I can't imagine this lady painting herself when she arrives.

She probably gets a lot of people staring at her on the tube, wouldn't she? Heehee.

Came across this place. It was very difficult to get even one picture. One old guy kept trying to photo bomb the shot... Like GET OUT OF THE WAY WOULD YA!

A bit of street entertainment, along with a blue cock. Nothing normal much in London.

My lovely Irish flag was in the back :D

I myself am a Harry Potter & Disney fan, and my friend is all Anime.

She loves this shop, TokyoToys in Piccadilly Circus.

At first I thought it wasn't the Disney shop seeing this. Thought it was some place else *COUGH*

Seeing Star Wars in the Disney shop was a little strange, but look at Chewy! I want him so much, but he's £20 sadly!

I think Jaz and I stepped in here not even for a minute, and she ran out straight away. As you know, perfume and cosmetics everywhere. It probably was not a reaction you see from a person leaving Selfridges. She fell out of the building, choking from the smell. It made me laugh anyway.

I bought her a little Hedwig keyring from King's Cross. IT'S SO FLUFFY, she'd say.

I wanted this straight away when I saw it.

I've been looking around for a book that will make do as a travel journal.

The pages inside are all different. They even contain lovely little pictures of old buildings, quotes and nature.

When the day was coming to an end, Jaz and I came up with a little game. In the tube station, we sat on the long escalator with no one on our side. And with people going up the opposite direction we'd start meowing. They of course were looking around wondering where the cats were. Then as we were coming to end of the escalator we'd jump up and shriek like a cat. Everyone was staring (not sure whether they laughed) but we couldn't stop ourselves from laughing. I think we may have meowed the whole way back to the house as well. There were Arsenal supporters everywhere, so we were meowing outside the pubs. Some guy stared at me but I pointed at my friend, "That was NOT me!"

I hope you liked this little random post.

I'm not sure when I'll be posting another, as my laptop looks as though it's going to die. Seriously! The battery I think has come to an end. So if you don't get any Maruitius Holiday posts (part 2...) it's because of my laptop dying with all the photos in it.

But don't worry, I'll be home in Ireland by June/July so I'll manage to get a laptop somehow and post them memories up for you all :)

I am currently writing this post out in the sunshine. It's about time we've had some good weather.

Cheers to you peeps for your time. And apologies for the blurry pictures, they were taken by my phone, so...

Only a few more weeks till the holz, WHOO HOO!

Thankful Thursday | Superdrug, Slapping other employees... pretty much a randon week!

Hello dearies :)

It's another Thursday and it's time to give the list of what I've been thankful for throughout the week.

My friend Peachy from The Randomness of Unicorns took this picture today at College. Out enjoying the sunshine with our sweets and Superdrug buys.

The week itself was pretty much rushed with getting my charity project fundraiser organised. I spent time handing out fliers, buying toys, juice, napkins for the event (that was Saturday.)

Sadly enough we had rain on the day and well it didn't stop me and my friend from dancing on the street. Funnily enough I got thrown money from some guy in a driving car and I had to chase a fella down to get his change. Seriously! He told me if I wanted it, I had to chase him. Naturally being the Kayla I am, I ran after him. I like the idea of seeing a woman chasing a fella down and taking his change, Haaa!

This also made me smile this week. I got to slap someone I work with.

Now I don't really abuse people (occasionally the brother), ok, so just get that straight. I was asked by a guy that is in a way my boss, so I followed his command. All open mouths around the kitchen that I actually went through with it.... "I'm not fired, am I?"

My Thankful Thursday :)

- Having people at work giving friendly smiles and asking how I am.

- Taking a day off, with just by a wonderful time on catching up on bloglovin', with a pot of tea, scented candles and ginger cake.

- Buying a 3 for 2 offer in 'Superdrug'. I got scandeleyes waterproof blue eyeliner, Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail pain Huckleberry and Maybelline Eyestudio Master Duo liquid eyeliner, along with a few face masks. 1) De-stressing Mud Mask, 2) Superfruits Exfoliating Mask and Dead Sea Purifying Clay Mask (future little review on all of these)

- Spending time with my pal Jas and really getting to know her a little more.

- My glasses (now getting headaches from my stupid laptop....eeek, WORRYING MUCH!)

- My brother practicing his french on the phone for his mock oral, so funny!

- My sunglasses (My Audrey Hepburn ones)

- Jewellery to keep me entertained in class.

- Snapchat (kaylahigg93, btw)

- Thankfully I got my first part of my Holiday in Mauritius post up (previous post)

- Having an optimistic point of view that I don't need drama in my life, that I can see the end of the road much clearer now.

- My blog. I actually got distracted this week (good that is.) I forgot how good it was just to see what everyone has been up to.

- This kinda follows, I've been recently followed by Jules on Everywhere, Please. She's recently just nominated me for a liebster award. And her questions will be most definitely answered. She has quickly escalated to being one of my favourite bloggers.

- Babysitting the cutest little boy. And hearing the most wonderful news that his mother, after having many miscarriages is expecting a baby. When she least expected it, after being told she may not ever have another child. She cried and I just smiled at her saying this happens to those who least expect it.

- New laundry :D

- My tutor Petra. She is a lovely lady and tries her best for her students.

- Harry Potter & the Order of the Pheonix.

- Take That, reliving the old albums :)

Well that is all. I'm hoping to have a fun week next week, with last assignments submitted in, the probability of a heat wave and spending a night in London tomorrow with my friend. I will be dying her hair from dark brunette to blond. Then we'll spend the day just exploring London. Hopefully lots of pictures to come to you lovely peeps.

Love you all so much, for actually reading this Haaa!

Here's me this morning with my hair wet (I always let it dry naturally) and my new Indian earings from Mauritius.

Thankful Thursday

Hello Everyone,

It's unbelievable how fast that week flew by. I don't ever go back on my blogs, re-reading them that is, and yet with these Thankful Thursday Posts I can always remember what I wrote the previous time.

I wonder what changes there'll be in my life this time next year.... Hmm, curious!

Well I hope the changes will have a 'GOOD' affect on my life. 

This week, I welcomed back 'I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here', and yes some of you are probably rolling your eyes, heehee, but I Love Ant & Dec... I can't help but laugh watching them. Can anyone remember the Koala on the show a few years back? I don't think I've ever remember such a funny time! That memory for some bizarre reason will always stick to my mind.

So this fast-forward-like week of what made me smile entailed of:

- 'I'm a Celebrity...' and 'Strictly Come Dancing'.

- A New Winter Brown/Maroon coat... expensive but so warm, I feel as though I go around the whole day wearing a duvet :)

- Ben & Jerry Chocolate Fudge Brownie.

- 'The Mentalist' Catch-up... this Monday will be an exciting episode... Ooooh Red John?

- 'Grey's Anatomy' Catch-up... Poor Bailey :(

- Mr Kipling cakes.

- Audrey Hepburn.

- Hanging around with my little 7 year old Cousin in the Shopping Centre, going from coffee shop to coffee shop (So Lazy).

- Coscos take-away cups... so festive and adorable, especially the babychino cups :)

- Organizing trip to Mauritius next March...

- New Stationary for Collage.

- Collage off both Wednesday and tomorrow.

- Gary Barlow 'Let Me Go'. I just become giddy when I hear it.

- Mint Hot-chocolate with lots of cream, in a HUGE mug, heehee :D

- My new phone, Nokia Lumina 920... truly obsessed with it.

- Re-enacting 'Big Brother' in class, yes we spend our time doing "important" things, Haa!

This week had a lot of giggles and organization, so I feel great looking back on it.

Snow is soon to be upon us here in London, and please God it won't mess up my flights for back home to Ireland. I have my fingers crossed.

Anyway I hope all of you had a lovely week, any highlights you'd like to share? Whether funny or interesting I'd love to hear from you readers :)

Love you all lots,
