Autumnal Favourites

I haven't done one of these lately, not since January actually so in case anyone was interested here are a few of my favourite things from the last few months...girls in white dresses and blue satin sashes not included.

First, let me tell you a little story about Neom Organics. I first came across the aromatic fragrance company when I was looking to buy my sister a leaving present when she moved to Australia (for a year) and I was taken in by the mix and match miniatures for the company that was 'scent to make you feel good.'

The problem was that it was actually a bit too good and I fell in love with their product range (so did my sister and she has been requesting more of their, best-selling pillow mist because she has run out)  and a trip to Neom Organics has become a quite regular item on my 'to do list'

My latest purchase (besides some Christmas presents) includes this candle for the Sensous 'scent to calm and relax range.' The whole relaxing thing is not something that comes easily to me, I'm a bit of a worry monster and get stressed out very easily so I love the calming scent of this candle which includes 16 natural essential oils including ylang-ylang, patchouli and frankincense. 

The first musical item on my list, because you knew there was going to be at least one is 'Waiting' the latest EP from Tom Speight. Because I know that I've been 'Waiting' to have this EP by 'my side' and I'll be looking forward to hearing Tom's debut album next year.

#TBT to my review of Tom's Leeds date on his debut UK headline tour  latest review coming soon

When the weather turns that little bit colder a good hat is absolutely essential and this season I have not one but two faves!

The first, a little beanie from Leeds based company In Music We Trust

In Music We Trust, run by Aiden Hatfield donates 50% of their profits to Mind charity to support people who suffer from depression and other mental health problems, a very worthy cause and they have some rather cool clothes too!

Hat number two simply says ' bunnies over people' which, as a crazy bunny lady myself I can totally relate to. 

This surprise gift from my sister is from Worried Potato and Co the merch brand of Instagram famous Bunny Mama. Lily, Edgar and Beatrix Potter most certainly approve of this hat. 

My final current fave is also of the musical variety, this time in the form of an album, from, you guessed it, Coasts. 

This Life Vol. 1, Coasts' second album was released in August of this year and I have listened to little else ever since. The band accompanied the release with an epic 38 date UK tour journeying to corners of the country, somewhere they had never been to before and reaching out to fans who flocked from far and wide. Before you ask, I didn't go to all 38 dates, only 5, including Bristol, Bath, Brighton (you can read the Brighton blog here if you want) Leeds and York.

Coasts are back touring in the UK in April and will be joining The Hunna on the European and Australian tours!
