Friday favourites; blogging return, lifestyle, music, food and friends.


                                                                       T.G.I.F.  I’m back!
 

 

Aloha and happy Friday to you! September is nearly over and the month has been a blur between my 21st birthday which was one of the best nights of my life, starting back college and other significant events I haven’t had a minute to stop and actually relax let alone write a post. However, I have been drafting bits and pieces which will be written up in posts in the weeks to come. I am easing myself back into my beloved blog with a favourites post and a recap of the week. This week consisted of me finding my feet again and settling back into college life, as I am no longer working part time I have all the time in the world to focus on myself and my college work. As it is my final year I am going to give it my all. As of yesterday I slightly altered my future career choice so, stay tuned and see where my new path takes me!

Fave quote;

 

This quote is very relevant to my life right now. People grow apart and drift naturally as we grow, however, when people do mean things on purpose and have no excuse for their crappy behaviour you have to ask yourself is it worth it? Through letting go of these bad ties the last month it has freed up more time for me to give to the people in my life that are as this quote reads. The people I am surrounding myself with as of late are once in a life time kind of people that I will be holding dear for as long as I can. I can honestly say the that my true friends would do anything for me, helping me grow and achieve my goals and I would do the same for them too. Would you?

Fave song; Nick Jonas Jealous.
 
I love this man’s voice and this song is so catchy! It oozes soul with a great beat, which makes it such a anthem.

Fave show; Blacklist.

After getting over the fact I finished three seasons of scandal..yes 47 episodes in two weeks I needed a new show to latch onto and this week is when I found blacklist. It is a crime drama set in New York that is so addictive. I am on episode 13/22 and I don't want it to end, every episode ends with a cliffhanger and I honestly don’t know what to expect from it!

Fave picture;


Who else is excited for Halloween?!

Fave food; hummus.

 

 
Hummus my new favourite thing how I only tried it for the first time last week amazes me because it is so yummy and goes with everything! I prefer mine with cucumber and carrot sticks, it is so tasty, so filling and it’s good for you!

 
So they were my Friday favourites what are yours?

Au revoir for now!

Aloha reader! My month of music has been quiet in a way, I think it is down to the fact I’ve been so busy, however there are still a few names worth the mention so get your ears ready and take some notes!

Banks; Jillian Banks who goes by the stage name Banks, is an American singer-songwriter from Los Angeles, California. I found out about her on the Jimmy Kimmel live stage and I can’t get enough of her, she is flawless.

This is what it feels like;


And waiting game;


Saint Raymond; I want you.

Arctic monkeys; One for the road.


Mike Dignam; I remember the first time I heard Mike Dignam, it was on a cover of if it means a lot to you with Gabrielle Alpin years ago and I loved his voice instantly. His voice is unlike anyone else, there is an undeniable element of soul which really shines through in his own songs.

Hurt;

And beautiful tragedy;


Royal Blood; the talented British rock duo are relatively new on the music scene, but they are worth the listen! Their sound reminds me of early muse with slightly more of an edge, I am loving them.

Little monster;


Stacey Kent; Hushabye Mountain.


The original song was sung by Dick Van Dyke in the musical chitty chitty bang bang. I love this song and the film so much. This is a beautiful cover by Stacey Kent who is a Grammy-nominated American jazz singer, her voice is so beautiful and delicate which is perfect for this song.

George Ezra; Stand by your gun. I am driving everyone mad over playing this guy at the moment, but he is so good!


Milky chance; are a German pop/rock duo that are being loved by all different age groups and music lovers alike. They have really blown up this summer even though their album launched two years ago!
Stunner;

And stolen dance;

Laura Zocca; Bones.


This song is the latest EP from the very talented Laura Zocca, who is a British singer who displays her own music and covers on youtube and soundcloud. Bones is another great song by the singer that I can’t stop listening too. I have a soft spot for singer songwriters and I can see this girl becoming a very big thing!


Rhianna; half of me.

 
Taylor swift; shake it off.


GRL; ugly heart.

 
Jessie J Ariana Grande and Nikki Minaj; Bang bang.



Ariana Grande; Tattooed heart.

The script; Superheroes.


I love this song I am not the biggest script fan but I do love the odd song from time to time.

Throwback;

Andrew belle; all those pretty lights.
This song makes me instantly happy, so much love for it and Mr Belle.

Nora jones; sunrise.

Muse; starlight.

What music have you been loving this month?

Au revoir until next time!
