Gerry's bday party

Snaps from Gerry's bday party at her home in Kew Gardens the other weekend. 

Spontaneous Sleepovers

Last week Mum stayed over at our place for two nights, and I stayed in Amersham at hers for one night. Although neither of us are spring chickens lol, we are like teenage besties who love a sleep over! She's now been living permanently in the Uk for one year and it was the best decision ever ❤ 

She's simply unbeleafable 🍁

Inside Info - my Autumn list

Whats the meaning of life: L.O.V.E - and to contribute/give back.

Any trips booked? Yes, whoop whoop! Child free trip for Bear and I to New York and ski holiday in Courchevel, France - both during Spring 2017

Which nail polish colour? For Autumn (and Winter) it's mainly very dark red, nearly black.

What's my happy place? I feel most at peace when the whole family is gathered and when we're on holiday surrounded by beautiful landscape and/or water, away from the usual routines and all the must-dos.

Best beauty product? Chanel Hydramax moisture mask that I've blogged about before.

If I could be remembered for one thing, what would it be: A great mother and wife, and in an ideal world I would like to be known as having little or no ego (which I'm working on in my weekly CBT *cognitive behavioural therapy* sessions).

TV series I'm currently watching: Just started "The Night Of" on Sky Atlantic - my latest crime drama obsession!

Fave Autumn accessory? My huge Nova Check Burberry cashmere scarf and this black fur gilet as well as this silver/grey one:

What is my greatest fear? To die when my kids are still young.

Fave Autumn drink? Can't live without my morning soya Cappuccino with a little cinnamon and Stevia sprinkled on top.

What am I listening to right now? Rockabye by Clean Bandit ft Sean Paul and Anne-Marie

Do I like to be complimented? I think I need a lot of reassurance from my family, but I always make sure to reciprocate.

Latest news: Whole flat has just been redecorated bright white and we bought new wooden two-tiered shutters for all our windows. Also new large super-soft rug with matching lamps in living room in grey/silver, and kitchen cupboards painted that same colour.

What food sums up happiness? No particular food actually, only the great feedback I quite often get after cooking for Bear.

Do I have a high pain threshold? I had an epidural throughout the birth of both of my kids, need I say more? I don't do pain lol!

Fave Autumn shoes: my new smart-casual LV trainers Bear got me for our Wedding anniversary, and my nearly 5(!) year old Prada biker boots.

Last song I Shazamed:  "Change my love" from Craig David's new album 🎶

What talent do I yearn for? Playing the guitar like my Mum and brother

What book do I recommend most to others? The Monk who sold his Ferrari by Robin Sharma - Get it or regret it!
