Hello darlings,
Hope you are having a good weekend. Sorry I didn't post last week... I just had nothing to say tbh.
I thought this week I would share how I track my job applications using a table because there are a few people I know who are currently looking for jobs and it is quite hard to keep track on what you have applied for and the ones you want to apply for- I think this table helps.
I am also going to share with you like my autumnal faves and things I have been watching.
Using Excel to keep a record of Job Applications + Job searching motivation
So for my job applications I will always keep track of them on a document. I will also add to the table any positions I want to apply for but maybe don't have the time to complete the job application there and then.
I will defo do another blogpost in the future about applying for jobs ect. Some tips I would say to stay motivated is like have a manifestation board nearby and also have a little reward in the back of your head for when you get a new job, like... a celebratory dinner with your partner or maybe like a new pair of ballet flats.
Autumnal faves +things I have been watching
New bag: My Longchamp tote bag held up for like 7+ years until recently when I was on hols the zip broke in every single way a zip can break and plus I had been losing things out of the holes in the corners for the past few months. I originally came to own it because I found it outside a house... sort of a random story. Anyway it is a really great bag and I wanted to replace it- it is the same colour and size (large). My mum picked it up for me in France a few days ago where they are slightly cheaper.
Alma's Not Normal: This is a comedy on BBC and the series begins with Alma breaking up with her bf and she then goes to look for a job. The writer also is the main character in it and it has auto-biographical elements and it is slightly dark but it is really sweet. Alma is really gorgeous and likable. It is sort of a comfort show. I am so bad at describing it- watch it; it is good.
Twin Peaks: I have loved watching this. I am nearing towards the end of series 2 but I starting to pace myself; I don't want to watch it too quickly. It is very autumnal perfect for Halloween vibes.
All of Us Strangers: I watched this on a flight recently and it is really fabulous. It is about a writer who starts a relationship with a man who lives in his block of flats and at the same time he starts to visit his childhood home where his parents, who died when he was a child, are there as ghosts. They aren't like scary ghosts, like he just talks to them as if they were alive. The film is great and it stays with you. I don't really love supernatural elements but this is just executed so well. This is actually perfect for the Halloween season if you don't love spooky films.
Autumnal beauty products: I purchased this lip and cheek tint a few days ago. I already own a bright pink version but I see that as a more summery lip colour so I wanted to get one for Autumn and Winter. I have been loving wearing this and I have actually been getting complements. I love a lip and cheek product like this because it is just so easy to use.
It is also the time of year I get my poisons out. Dior hypnotic poison and poison girl are my autumnal scents and they are an acquired taste- my partner might not be thrilled that the poisons have made a return. I love how these make me feel: sexy and dangerous.
Lapsang Souchong: Another scent that fills my house at this time of year is lapsang souchong tea. I feel like everyone will remember their first cup of lapsang souchong because it is quite a unique taste. It has a beautiful and relaxing smokiness. This is perfectly autumnal because I can just sort of imagine some witches drinking this.
Definitely give it a try- you can get a box of bags in Waitrose for under £2.
Revenge Friday
I am actually really quite troubled by the death of Liam Payne and I just needed to leave the house to try to clear my head. I went for a walk around Blackheath and I did an architecture walk- my parents had a handout from a guided walk they went to, so I followed that. It was a guided walk of span houses... I was not in the right headspace tbh.
Afterwards, I grabbed some food from a bakery to eat on the heath. I walked around the common and the village- they have some really quaint bookshops and caffs.
I am defo due another trip to Greenwich so I look forward to being back in that neck of the woods soonish.
Love,
Happy hippo x
