Blogtober Tag 2020 – Our First Blogtober

We’ve never participated in Blogtober before, but we figured now was a good time to start! Each day, we will be releasing a Blogtober post – which will be themed as Autumn or Halloween content. We will also have some posts going live on other topics that aren’t themed, but these won’t be marked as Blogtober content. As we normally post three times a week, posting every day and doubling up on some days seemed like the best way to make Blogtober work for our blog. As we love Halloween and fall, getting a bunch of lovely, themed posts seemd like a fun time. To start off our first Blogtober, we are doing out first ever Blogger Tag!

What’s your favourite fall scent?

Jupiter: My favorite fall scent is baking pumpkin pie. I love the smell out of the oven and how much it fills your home.
Dann: My favourite autumn scent is burning firewood, as it reminds me of bonfire night.

Vietnamese Street Food Feast Cooking Lesson with Larks Live | Review

[Ad- gifted experience] In a time when we can’t really go out all that much, cooking at home has become a large part of people’s lives. I have always done a lot of home cooking, though I had not previously taken a cooking class.

Dann and I went for the Vietnamese Street Food Feast by chef Jazzi Curley, who has just opened up her own physical cookery in the Devon area! We invited our friend Claire over to enjoy the dinner with us and watch us cook too.

Disproving Myths about Refurbished Phones with giffgaff

[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to getting a new phone, it’s always a big decision. I try very hard to keep my phone in good condition, so that it can last quite some time, as I feel phones are a large purchase that we make, that does need to last as everything is on our phones. I spend a lot of time on social media, taking pictures of days out, and generally using my phone for basically everything. It’s my calendar, it’s my connection to the greater world, it’s how I work.

I have previously only purchased new phones, waiting and using my cracked phone until I have saved up enough for a new one, before trading it off and ditching my old, on it’s last limb phone to a shoe box of deads in case I might ever need the images or texts off of them. Recently, however, I got the chance to check out a refurbished phone from giffgaff, which was far nicer than I would have ever expected.

How I Relax After a Long Day

2020 has been one heck of a year, so I wanted to talk about how exactly I have been relaxing in my free time. When it comes to self-care, you really do need to take the time to do things you enjoy and that relax you, so that you can recuperate! Being able to relax and having go-tos have been a really good way to calm down.

Cooking

I always love cooking, but particularly recently I have enjoyed cooking more and more. Creating small desserts and putting together menus of delicious foods have been a highlight. I have even attended a few digital cooking classes that I will be posting about soon! Creating delightful menus or just trying out something new is always fun and really helps keep your mind busy.
