    My Current Autumn Reading List

    Ghenet Actually || My Autumn Reading List

    It’s that time again! Time to share with you the books I’m reading, and want to read. In the autumn and winter, I find that I spend a lot more nights curled up with a good book than I do camped out in front of the TV. I’m not sure why that is, but since that’s the trend, I’ll be calling this my autumn reading list! So many books, not enough hours in the day!  Continue Reading

  • Laughter is the best medicine 🌻🌻🌻 I had a blip yesterday and for no real reason, felt a bit low and a little quiet. It happens from time to time and I've learned that sometimes you just gotta let it happen. The more I fight it, the harder it hits. I had plans but decided to cancel them (sorry, @imbeingerica! We'll reschedule, I swear!) and went home to make myself a pot of tea and watch a silly movie. Simple things. That's all I came to say really, that and I'm feeling much better today! Sending lots of love and good vibes out into the world!
  • Autumn vibes 🍁🍂🍁 does anyone else find their appetite changes with the seasons? Over the summer, all I want is fruit and now that winter is coming, I'm craving roast potatoes, butternut squash and more hearty meals. I've been making this veggie sausage tray bake quite a bit lately, and I've even share the recipe on the blog! What foods have you been craving recently?

  • The Big Apple or the Big Smoke? 🍎🍎🍎 I pass this little spot on my way into work and it always reminds me of NYC. It's also made me realize that I moved to London four years ago in December! How does time pass so quickly? I will never tire of this city I don't think. It hold so many amazing things, and people, and places!
  • Sunday vibes ✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾Once again we're at my favorite day of the week. Sundays for me are about cozy vibes, hanging out at home with my two boys and usually involves a good home cooked meal. Tonight we're having a cheese and wine night while we watch Game of Thrones, followed by Bodyguard. How's your weekend been? #slowsundayclub
  • Float down, like Autumn leaves 🍁🍂🍁 RIGHT. Who is all caught up with Bodyguard?! Because I NEED to talk about it. Not just the most recent episode but every single one! I have no idea 'whodunit' and it's brilliant watching. Also, really here for the fact that David is surrounded but such strong women and the things that are his strengths are traits normally associated with women. So so interesting. What's been your big shocker moment so far? #tellytalk
  • Pink to make Ghenet wink 💋💋💋 Dusted off my favorite cardigan that's been so loved over the last four years that it's literally falling apart. I'm not ready to let go of it yet! I've got my eye on a few cozy cardigans and jumpers. Let the cozy vibes commence! [📸 by @milligjarlett]
  • Almond Crossaints are the way to my heart 🥐🥐🥐 Had a coffee catch up with a friend I hadn't seen in a while and it was lovely! Friendship is a funny thing isn't it? It takes work, and care, and sometimes it can be hard. We have lifelong friends, friends we love but only see sparingly, friends we have for a little while then they fade away, friends we grow out of. Friends are a magical thing and I'm so grateful for the ones I have.
  • Feeling green fingered 🌿🌿🌿 The days are definitely getting shorter and I'm really struggling with it. Anyone else feeling really tired and finding it difficult to get out of bed just now? I'm trying to rethink my morning routine to help me get up and get going! What's the first thing you do when you wake up?
