#70 A Little Life Catch Up | Nails and Internships

Hello! 

Life seems to have turned into one big whirlwind recently, hence why it's been a little quiet over here.

September was the 'Bec needs to find a job' month, which meant interviews, interviews and more interviews. Thankfully I've now bagged myself an internship, packed my bags and moved in with my boyfriend and his family for the next 3 months! All this rushing around means that I haven't had a lot of time to get round to posting anything on here for a while, but I don't want this to turn into a habit! 

This post is mainly just a check it to let you know that I am still here and I WILL be posting more frequently soon! Whilst I was here I really wanted to share my new fave nail combo with you too! As Christmas is coming (yes I'm excited already) glitter is back on the cards, or nails in this case. I am really loving Topshop's Jem over Barry M Matte Vanilla, it's so purdy! I particularly like how the glitter is different sizes and the colours really compliment each other too. 

I'll be back soon!

#68 Flippin' Great Brownies | Baking

Good Morning! 

As you might be able to tell, I recently made some brownies and oh my they went down a treat. I am not exaggerating when I say that they are probably the nicest brownies that I've ever had. They were so moist and just melted in the mouth - pure heaven. Even after about a week (if not longer) they hadn't dried out at all and still tasted as good as when they popped out the oven. 

 So, as they tasted so flippin' great I thought it was only fair that I shared the (not so made up) recipe with you all. Once I'd decided that brownies were the way to go I did a little Google search and came across this wonderful, easy recipe. Personally I like my brownies to have a little crunch so I also added some pecans to the mix - they made the brownies if you ask me. They didn't take too long to make and most of the ingredients used are things that people tend to already have in their house, which makes life easier.

If you're having a bit of a lazy day and are craving something sweet and delicious,  I definitely recommend giving these a go! If you do, let me know how they turn out - I assure you you wont be disappointed! 

I hope you've had a lovely weekend,

#64 A Family Trip to Argegno

As many of you may know, particularly if you follow me on Twitter or Instagram, I recently went away with my family for two weeks to Argegno, Italy. As I had a job whilst at university I didn't manage to come home for long periods of time so I hadn't been able to spend loads of time with them in one go until now. It was such a lovely holiday and (as you can see) the views were incredible, wherever you went on the lake (Lake Como) the views took your breath away.

As well as exploring what the lake had to offer we also took at trip to Switzerland one day which was nice. We hired a speedboat on one of the nicer days (the weather was a bit temperamental - a lot like England really!) and had a sneak peak at one of George Clooney's so say holiday homes. As well as the speedboat we also hired out a peddle boat one day, as lets face it, nothing beats watching your mum panic that she's going to fall into the water whilst your brother manically pedals away! On our final day we went for a short walk and came across a bunker and some trenches. I am fascinated by all things war related so was in my element there!

The sights do not stop at the lovely scenery, the food was also divine. Eating out is definitely one of my family's favourite things to do whilst on holiday. Of course, you can't go to Italy and not consumer multiple pizzas and ice cream now can you? Although I ate a lot of pizza I'm not an overly big lover of ice cream so didn't have too much of the stuff. Also Italian hot chocolates are on another level completely. I'm usually a tea of coffee kind of gal but on our first afternoon I was craving hot chocolate so that's what I asked for - what I received was not what I was expecting! It was SO thick, literally like melted chocolate with bits of chocolate in it... Although it was nice, it was a little too chocolately for my liking (I'm a savoury girl at heart).

So there you have it! I also posted some OOTD/N's whilst I was away so if you haven't seen them yet continue scrolling down and you'll come across them.

I hope you're having a lovely weekend so far,

#54 A Little Life Catch Up

Good Afternoon!

I am currently on a plane to Milan as I write this (not to rub it in or anything ;)) as I am spending the next 2 weeks in Lake Como with my family. I was hoping to schedule some posts for whilst I am away but life snuck in and got in the way, so sadly I haven't had time to. I do have some planned though and will hopefully get them up whilst I'm away, so keep your eyes peeled! I am having to write/post them via my iPhone so I'm HOPING the formatting will be okay! 

I'm sure I'll be taking lots of snaps whilst I'm away so make sure you follow my on Twitter (@becamorton) and Instagram (@becamorton)! 

As I'm flying away for 2 weeks of chaos and adventure (we always get ourselves in... Interesting situations!) I thought I'd share what I've been up to over the last week - this is a lifestyle blog after all. 

Pub Trip - living in the country there isn't always a lot to do, so a good old pub trip is a frequent activity. It's always nice to catch up with friends over a drink (gin and tonics are my current fave). My good friend Alice has just left for Vietnam and I am away for a couple of weeks now, so it was nice to see each other before we all flew away all over the place. 

Bath - Going on holiday is always a good excuse to go shopping, so last week Doug, Mum and I went to bath to get some odd bits and bobs (details to follow). We went to Carluccios for lunch which was divine - I particularly recommend their venison tortellini! Other than good food and multiple purchases, we also came across a 'crazy pigeon man' who pigeons seemed to flock to... He was also putting pigeons on people... It was all very weird and not up my street at all, haha. 

Santa Pod - My dad is an avid lover of vintage cars, owning a Riley 9 Special himself. So on Thursday we all went to Santa pod to watch him compete in a drag race whilst mum was marshalling on the start line. It was a small event but nice to spend some time all together.

Reunion - it's been almost 2 months since I waved goodbye to my Southampton home which I shared with my favourite people. So last weekend I invited everyone over for the weekend for a taste of the country and a BBQ. Sadly the weather wasn't great but we powered through which the BBQ anyway (thank god for garages). I also took everyone to a couple of local pubs, obviously. It was really nice to catch up with everyone, I'm missing them all already!

So that's basically what I've been up to recently!
