As we whizz into the month of May, already almost halfway through the grand year of 2 0 1 6, it is the perfect time for a lil bit of reflecting and sharing! Over the course of the past month (APRIL), we've accumulated our fair share of fond memories and favourites (in terms of everything and anything!) and so as we look back, here were some of our personal APRIL FAVOURITES that we'd love to share as we move in a new month. :)

HANNAH;
+ the song 'little numbers' - BOY.
this song is actually magical. somehow, whilst listening to it I found myself wrapped up in a dreamy haze that really had me feeling the vibes of adventure and wandering, cities that never sleep and independent explorations. go listen!
+ fuzzy socks.
definitely towards the end of April, as the cold weather was just creeping in, I was in raptures for these cosy wonders. knee-high fuzzy socks, leg-warmers, fluffy boots, you name it... they were all on my TO-BUY ASAP LIST.
+ "twelve ways to spend one's christmas eve" by defend (available on wattpad).
even though I've read it a million times over, this story is one of my all-time favourites. perfect for a rainy day with the additions of a cup of tea and said fuzzy socks, it never fails to make me laugh, cry like a baby, get my spirits up and suddenly feel the urge to go on a cookie baking spree...
+ SUITS.
getting hooked on this tv show was the most brilliant mistake of my life (brilliant because it is solid 100 emoji, a mistake because of the countless hours of sleep lost binge watching). now currently eagerly awaiting the release of the season 5 dvd comes the beautiful period of re-watching and reliving all those feels once more. a show which revolves around the careers and lives of high-flying lawyers in NYC... it's full of drama, wit and promises a crazy ride.

BETTY;
+ cinemas.
In the past month/few months I've seen a solid number of films at the cinemas (predominantly DISNEY! Double release of Zootopia+Jungle Book hell yeah). With the huge squishy seats and chilly AC, no matter how action-packed the film is, the atmosphere somehow stays relaxing. And when the crowd pools out the exit after the credits, jittering with laughs, exclamations and opinions on the film. That's the best part.

+ Paradise Fears (alternative rock band)
Whilst perusing Spotify last year (probably procrastinating on some sort of studying), I came across this alternative rock back somewhere on the wavelength of bands like 'We The Kings' and 'A Rocket To The Moon', and boy did I become obsessed. Their Battle Scars album (both the original plus the acoustic version) was on repeat for months. Whilst on a drive to the beach this April, I decided to listen to one of their songs (Lullably), and then another, and another... Before I knew it I had the lyrics all memorised again. LISTEN TO THEIR ALBUM, you won't be disappointed. Or check out their collection of covers on their youtube channel for a bit of familiarity.

+ Studio Ghibli Films (Spirited Away and My Neighbour Totoro).
During the Autumn break (featuring a backyard-tent sleepover), my sister's and I revisited these two classic Miyazaki directed films (it was my first time watching Spirited Away!). Spirited Away really explored a fantasy-filled tale, with wacky elements and strange characters (and I mean strange, no really. Think pungent-blob-spirit strange!), and made you experience all kinds of feels (absolutely deserving of it's Academy Award). Although I fell asleep as we were watching Totoro... I'd seen it before so I know how adorable, quirky and beautiful it is!

+ Mochi!
As in the literal balls of rice-cake sunshine *drools*. After exploring asian grocers and even making my own, although the quality of the homemade ones were almost enough to make me stop loving mochi (yikes!), I still shamefully crave them at most times of the day.
P.S. They're especially good on matcha pancakes ;) inconspicuous reference to foodie post, up soon!
Phew that was a whole lot of rambling. We hope you decide to check out any of the mentioned songs, books, films, feet-covering fabrics and food!
