I Know // Project 365 // Day 130


I know what this looks like, I know, I know
I know what they're saying, I know, I know
That you're just on the other side of a real bad way 
and you're just on the other side of drowning your life away
Well its too damn bad it's all a big cliche 
Cause I know you were always the one 
I was looking for.

#MusicMonday Let Me Fall - Bethany Joy Lenz

October has been around for a little over a week and I haven't really had time to sit down and dedicate any time to the blog, so I really meant to make this last weeks #MusicMonday but ran out of time. Something I run out of all to easily these days.

Bethany Joy Lenz has never realised a studio version of Let Me Fall, it was aired in an episode of One Tree Hill way back in the day and the only audio copies you will be able to find have characters voices over it or is broken up as someone has obviously tried to remove the character audio.

Idina Menzel covered the song as a bonus tack on a special edition release of her 2008 album "I Stand" a more pop(pier) version of the song, but holds it own all the same.


The Song always pops into my mind this time of year because of the opening lyrics "It's October again the leaves are coming down, one more years come and gone and nothings changed at all" and each year this song seems to resonate at some level.

So I took to a favourite little Autumnal spot and caught some footage and then covered the song myself this year. I'm not a good singer by any means, but I love the song.

#MusicMonday: The Long Ride Home - Patty Griffin

This song is being chosen out of the fact I simple can't get out of my head, if I'm not humming it, I'm actually singing it out, even if its just a mumbly sing. This song is all thats in my head and it wants out.

I'm not even a little mad about how much I find myself singing to it, It's an actual masterpiece, a classic. A song that will truly stand the test of time. It will always be good.

Patty Griffin's The Long Ride Home though deals with a sad subject, its oddly uplifting and entirely satisfying. Like your ears need to hear it.

And though I might wear it to death. I do truly love it.

So go and enjoy... on the long ride home.



One of my favourite covers of the song, by some of my fave artists who have been previously featured on #MusicMonday

January Favourites


I kinda just stopped doing monthly favourites after August last year, and it was one of my favourite things to feature. So I'm bringing it back and also putting it over on my Vlog! So without further ado here's my January Favourites!!!

Terramundi Money Pot -  I got this on eBay for just under £20, I love the colours, and the fact that I can't touch the money until its full and I have to smash it, this means that I am actually saving money.

Camper Van Photo Holders -  I got these as a gift, and there just gorgeous, the set of three currently sit on my windowsill and I've been changing out the photos.

Wish You Were Here: Vol 1 -  This gorgeous Instagram book from Bethany Joy Lenz, is a lovely addition to your book shelf/ coffee table / office, for spouts of inspiration, plus half the proceeds go towards Love146

Kylie Jenner Lipkit - Candy K -  Currently unavailable theres is set for more releases soon with new colours being teased, I really love the feel of this Matte Lipstick.

NYX Highlight and Contour Pro Palette - This is so reasonably price, and if your looking for a nice palette its defiantly one to consider.  Under £20 and with eight different shades to Contour and highlight your face!

Blend Active  - I am in absolute love with this blender, its cut the cleaning after making smoothies, so I have one every day for breakfast now. All you have to do is change lids from the blender to drinking cap and your good to go.

June Favourites

What a month, I finished college and passed my HND, so I am now a fully qualified tv production person. I got to catch up with all my friends and maybe had one to many drinking nights. I have planned some mini adventure to go away on. I feel like life is in a good place right now.



 1) Erin Condren - Deluxe Notebook : This is genuinely my most favourite notebook ever. And trust me I have had a lot of notebooks, if it had the paper from the oxford notebooks I'd cry. I'm using it to organise this blog. I want to get series, plan my updates and organise everything. So having the calendar in front makes it so much easier. I can look at a glance and put in when I want to upload, so when I would have to prepare the post. And then I draft the 1st version on paper because I prefer getting initial thoughts out like that. Then I can edit as I type the post up.

2) May Designs - Health and Fitness Journal : How did I not know about all these sites that let you choose colours and personalise notebooks before. I am genuinely in heaven. I was originally going to get a plain May Designs notebook. But I took a glance at the health and fitness journal and decided to try it. It's making life so much easier. I'm really trying to opt into a healthier lifestyle, this helps me keep track and shows the difference between good and bad weeks.

3) RayBans Sunglasses : Though I haven't had much chance to use them yet, as sunny spells have been few and far between in Scotland... which is weird cause we all know Scotland is a  notoriously place. But I do have a few holidays booked where these beauties will come in handy. I am in love with the black and cream frame.


4) Mac Matte Lisptick - Flamingo : This is a great coral-y summer colour. Its been my absolute fave this month. I am always wearing it.

5) Come on home - Bethany Joy Lenz : Ughhhh I'm so excited about this one. Bethany Joy Lenz CD's are like the rarest thing to come by. Most of her music was only released was limited periods and I'm pretty sure out of the 10 albums and Ep's released you are only able to purchase Get Back to Gold on iTunes  as well as a couple of singles of Your Woman (The Everly stuff might still be available I'm not sure) So when this was listed on eBay I scooped it up the minute I saw it... I paid way more than I'd ever pay for a CD but it was well worth it. It came in great condition and I just love having  physical copies of Joy's music.
