The last few weeks have been so busy and super hectic, I mean to the point where I have felt like my lists have their own list friends and they just seem to multiply. I mean I know that sounds like a small, but damn it’s irritating feeling like it’s just never ending. I have needed to chill so badly, and the good thing is about the colder weather is the fact that I can curl up in a blanket, turn my phone off and just chill out. So what wonderful things have been happening over the last few weeks?
1. Making A Murderer
It didn’t take long for Paul and I to finish this to be honest, we managed to binge watch the first season in about a day because we got so into it. If you haven’t watched the first series, I’d definitely recommend it, and even if you don’t believe they’re innocent (I do – I believe they’re innocent and deserve to be freed) you have to admit that something is seriously wrong with what happened during that investigation. I’m so invested in Brendan Dassey and Steven Avery, I really hope they do get the justice they deserve. I do feel so badly for Teresa Halbach’s family though. It’s awful what they’ve gone through.
2. Candle Weather
It’s got cold enough finally that I can start to burning my candles, and getting ready for my favourite months of the year! Anyone else ridiculously in love with any candle that smells amazing – I mean as long as it isn’t cinnamon (I’m allergic to it – sorry about that) I love it so much! I love anything with a fruity scent.
3. Cats. Cats. Cats.
If you know me, you will know that my in laws have 2 cats named Yoda and Jaja Binks (yes we like Star Wars) and on Sunday I got the biggest cuddles ever from them. They always know how to make me smile, and having cuddles with furry animals is the best feeling isn’t it?
4. My Addiction To Pasta
As the colder months are slowly rolling around, I’m ready for all of the comfort food, and let’s be honest there is nothing more comforting in the world than pasta is there? I recently shared a recipe on my blog for an Easy and Cheesy Pasta Bake which is the perfect meal when you’re in a rush, or you’re wanting a delicious mean in the evening that is filling and comforting.
5. Fresh Sheets
I recently purchased some new bottom sheets for my bed, mainly because I’m adulting very quickly and buying sheets for my bed is literally the best feeling in the world. I’m getting ready for all the cosy vibes if I’m honest, and nothing makes me feel better than new bed sheets. Snug as a bug in a rug.
6. The Leaves Are Changing Colour
Finally the leaves are changing colour and I honestly couldn’t be happier, it’s the most colourful time of year, and there is literally nothing better than feeling the leaves crunch under your feet. Paul and I have been going for walks and feeling them crunch under your feet is such an amazing feeling!

I love being able to burn candles! They make everything so cosy! xxxx
I am addicted to pasta no matter what time of the year it is ahah! My cat is psycho but i could not imagine life without him! I have not read making a murderer but i have binge watched sabrina!
Pasta is the food of joy! xxxx
I love this post – consists of all the best things in life! I started watching Making a Murderer and I really need to continue it, I love true crime shows especially ones where the persons guilt or innocence is in question – so interesting xx
It’s such a good programme, let me know your thoughts my darling! xxxx
Awww, your cats are the cutest! I love their names too! Yay for fresh sheets, that is the best feeling ever (especially after having a bath). I loved your pasta bake recipe too, it looked delicious. Lovely post Amie <3 xx

I love lighting scented candles this time of year (I currently have a candy cane one which smells like peppermint!) and eating allll the comfort food!
Your cats are so cute!

Oooh a the candy cane one sounds absolutely amazing! xxxx
Honestly I’ve had a rubbish week and felt really sad, but this has actually reminded me of how much I’ve actually enjoyed – so thank you! Fresh sheets and my cats are things I take for granted but they are such a blessing aren’t they? And thank you for the recipe – looks delicious! Also I’m so with you on Making a Murderer – they are so innocent!

Let me know what you think of the pasta if you try it my lovely! I hope your week gets better my darling! xxxx
Having a good candle while snuggling in bed is one of my favorite things.💜💜 Pasta is my addiction and cats are my favorite also. I’m getting a kitten soon and I’m soooo excited😍😍
It’s the best thing ever isn’t it? Pasta is just so good for the soul! xxxx
I am absolutely obsessed with Making a Murderer!! I watched the second season in one day. Sooo interesting! I believe they are innocent too, and it was fascinating to see the cases go through the appeal process.
I’m addicted to pasta too! I’ll definitely be checking out your cheesy pasta bake!
It’s such an amazing series isn’t it? I’m really hoping they get their appeal! xxxx
Candles, fresh sheets and cats are definitely happy things, haha! Cats come top of my list every time 🙂 x

Can’t beat a good pasta dish and a cuddle with a furry animal! xxxx
Lovely post and I immediately felt a connection toon as I’m convinced my lists multiply while I sleep. Add a 50 hour work week in there and it can feel like I’m being run over. Your post was a gentle reminder – and timely. The simplicity of fresh sheets, calming candles, and the colors of fall. Thank you for the reminder. Much appreciated.

Thank you so much my lovely, it’s the little things that really matter! xxxx
My brothers girlfriend recently recommended watching ‘Making a Murderer’ – I hadn’t seen or heard of it before, but it sounds really interesting – I can’t believe what happened from what she briefly told me about it! I’ll be trying to watch it over the weekend. This cold weather is definitely perfect for just getting cosy in bed and watching programmes 😀 my favourite! Haha. Also, I totally agree with your addiction to pasta – I’m addicted too 😂 it’s one of my favourite meals, I have it most days for lunch when I can! I prefer it so much over sandwiches or anything.
Amy,

Let me know what you think of it my darling! I think your brother’s girlfriend is right, I think you will love it! xxxx
I’ve heard of Making a Murderer but didn’t know if I should take the plunge and watch a few episodes, I’m always looking for new shows to watch! And yes finally candle weather! It’s just cold enough to have a few around, I can stay in the candle area of stores forever, so many amazing scents!
YAY for leaves changing color, I went on my run earlier today and I love seeing how the trees are slowly having their leaves change color.

I’m a sucker for calming candles and it’s finally hit candle weather and I couldn’t be happier! xxxx
It’s rolling in to summer here in Australia but it’s funny – I don’t associate candles with the winter months, I burn fresh smelling candles throughout summer plus outdoor candles to keep bugs away if we are BBQing.
Ahh I totally didn’t think of that because your seasons are different! I love candles because they warm everything up too and they’re just so calming! xxxxx
I love candles. I have loads, it’s such a problem. I need to start gifting some!

Candles are an amazing gift! xxxx
Cats are the best creatures on planet Earth, they never fail to make me happy. Yoda and Jaja are so beautiful!

They are the cutest cats in the world in my opinion! xxxx
This might be the first list of this sort that has pasta one it – I love it! And yes yes yes to candles and fresh sheets. Nothing beats the feeling of snuggling in a clean bed – with either a book or Netflix. I’ve heard a few people over the last few years talking about The Making of a Murderer and I’m definitely intrigued – it sounds good. Great post, as always!
I’m a sucker for fresh sheets, it always makes feel so cosy! xxxx
Yoda and Jaja Binks are so cute! Cats are so lovely, I love just watching TV in the evening and having my cat lie next to me. Also it’s always great to have some pasta dishes, they’re so moreish, delicious and filling! Love the changing colour of the leaves too, everything looks so pretty outside <3

It’s lovely just to be able to curl up and watch a programme with some pasta! xxxx
This is (almost) perfect. I’d have to swap the cats for a dog, but the leaves changing, candles everywhere and fresh sheets all put a smile on my face. I’ve never seen Making A Murderer, I’m clearly missing out x

Exactly, and cosy nights are the best kind of nights! xxx
I’ve been binge watching Law & Order: SVU on Amazon Prime and have really been enjoying it. I also love that it gets dark a lot earlier too and I’ve started to make Christmas food shopping lists. Nothing very exciting but it makes me happy 🙂 x

This was such a lovely post to read! Honestly, just reading it made me feel happier. Fresh sheets, cats, and the crunchy leaves are also things I’ve been enjoying lately! It really is the little things in life that make such a big difference. 🙂
Exactly, we can all appreciate those smalls things that make us happy! xxxx
I adore scented candles too! My preferance is a floral or woody scent.
Oooh I love a good woody scent! xxx
I’m so desperate to watch the new making a murderer it’s untrue!

ROSIE WATCH IT! Curl up with a blanket and get watching! xxxx
The leaves changing colour is one of my favourite parts of the autumn season. I don’t like burning candles so bought some LED battery ones instead, they still have the same effect. I’ve never seen Making A Murderer, but I know a lot of people that rave about it!
Amy | hookedonthemusic.com
Oooh that is such an amazing idea to buy battery ones! xxxx
I constantly have candles burning at the moment – it’s my favourite thing about autumn x
It’s one of mine too my lovely! xxxx
Yes to all these things, especially the combination of all of them!! 😍💛
Sending love your way,

Yesss to all the pasta! I could easily eat pasta every night of the week and never get bored, haha 🙂 Loved this post x

I just can’t seem to get on with making a murderer
Oh no way! that is such a shame!
