I'm English But I'm Still Thankful On Thanksgiving.

I'm not American but that doesn't mean I can't jump on the thankful/thanksgiving wagon today, does it?! It's great to stop every now and then and take time to appreciate things properly.

I have a lot to be thankful for. 

I'm thankful for all my lovely friends and family. 

I'm thankful for being healthy and happy. 

I'm thankful for all the support and kind words I've received on my blog in these short few months I've been blogging. 

I'm thankful for the weekends. Really thankful.

I'm thankful that I've had the opportunity to travel to some amazing places and experience so many different cultures and new things. 

I'm thankful for my teddy bears, yep really, I love those guys. 

I'm thankful for cupcakes, seriously, don't laugh now...but...I genuinely believe my life would be a little duller without cupcakes to look forward to every so often. Yeah, that's how I get my kicks. Judge me however you like!

There's a couple of people I want to give a special mention to though. 

The first is my loving boyfriend. He shows nothing but kindness to me. Honestly, I know some people say that but I don't recall him ever saying a cross word to me. He goes the extra mile to do nice things for me that he knows will make me smile. Everyone is always amazed at just how caring and thoughtful he is. I feel so lucky to have found someone who makes me genuinely happy everyday. I'm thankful he has so much patience with me and thinks of me first before himself. I'm thankful we get along so easily and effortlessly and that I've found someone who I know loves me as much as I love him.

The other person I'm so thankful for is my beautiful best friend. I only met her by chance through a mutual friend when I went to University but I'm so glad I did. We've more than made up for the late start to our friendship. We lived together for a few years at Uni. We worked together for a summer in Walt Disney World. We've traveled together in Thailand and Australia. We've laughed and cried together. She keeps me in the England loop. She's been a best friend despite the fact we're thousands of miles apart. She's made the trip to visit me here in Korea and in just a few short weeks I'll get to see her again when I visit England. We'll be best friends in person again (rather than on Skype) and I'm very thankful for that!

Okay, I'm done being soppy now, apologies if that caught you off-guard. Cool, collected me (ha, yeah that's exactly what I am!) will be back tomorrow. In the meantime I hope you are all having a lovely Thanksgiving, American or not.

Cute Thanksgiving Nail Art Ideas

I'm English so Thanksgiving isn't something I get to celebrate. Believe me, I wish I could, I've seen all the yummy food you get to eat! It also seems like a lovely Christmas warm-up! Anyway, I have a lot of American friends here and last year one of them even had my boyfriend and I round for thanksgiving dinner. My first ever and the first time I tried pumpkin pie! A travesty, I know! This year I was thinking it would be fun to paint my nails with a cute thanksgiving nail art design.When browsing the internet I came across the cutest nail tutorial that I'd love to try. I thought I'd share it with you guys, it's a Turkey!

Isn't it so cool and cutesy! I'm hopefully going to give it a go. If the turkey's aren't really your thing then there was another couple of thanksgiving suitable designs that looked great. A kind of leaf pattern and a simple criss-cross pattern that's meant to look like cherry pie I think! You can check them out and see the full Thanksgiving nail art tutorials on the Refinery 29 website.

I hope everyone has a lovely thanksgiving holiday!
