November is the month to start getting excited for Christmas and this month, I have fallen for lots of comforting things. From new dishes to shows, there has been a lot of relaxing and embracing. The calm before the big storm shall we say. Below is what has been making my November super special…

My Favourite Book: Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing by Matthew Perry - Matthew Perry has always been a comedy hero to me. Chandler Bing is probably my favourite character in Friends and I will not let there be a bad word said about him. Yet, having read this book, I think a bigger, braver person is the man who played him. Not hiding anything about his life, Perry is open, honest and heartbreaking in this new memoir. It has changed my life completely!

My Favourite TV Show/Film: The Bear - I fell hard for this show. Even before I began watching it. There wasn’t a moment that didn’t grip me in and I hope that a new series is released soon. Honestly, once you start watching, you won’t be able to stop. It is super easy binge watching material.

My Favourite Food Find: Asda Fibre Flakes with Red Berries - Recently, when on holiday at my brothers, I tired a new cereal by Asda. Much like bran flakes, but with the added edition of berries, I found myself loving these finds. I had never had them before and I was really in love with the taste. I was also super proud of myself for giving these a go as soon as I found them, which is not easy for me at all.

My Favourite Beauty Item: The Body Shop Pumpkin Hand Cream - Okay, so Halloween is over but this cream is a beautiful reminder of it. Smelling super delicious, it is so good I stockpile it. Honestly, I have had to tell my mum not to get any for my stocking this Christmas, because I have too much of it. 

My Favourite Podcast: Alan Carr's Life's A Beach - This podcast may be a bit more summer themed, but I have fallen head over heels in love with it. From learning that you need a passport to go to space from Tim Peakes to hearing drunken antics from Rob Beckett, I am currently binging this podcast hard.

My Favourite Experience - Just before Christmas, we always like to take a trip to visit my brother. In the middle of November, we did just that and it was lovely to catch up with my family and friends who live in Blackpool. I felt super festive and ready to come home and put up the tree in celebration. I can’t wait to catch up with them soon. 

What made your November special lovelies?
