Hey guys,

Welcome to my last Blogmas post! Woohoo we made it!! (I say we as I wouldn’t of been able to do it without the support of my friends and all of you who read my posts!)

Thank you so so much for reading my blogmas posts and supporting me, it honestly means the world to me! I’ve had so much fun doing blogmas and have been amazed and shocked by all the amazing support I’ve been given!

Merry Christmas everyone!!! I hope you have the most magical day and get spoilt as you all deserve! But most importantly enjoy the time with your family/friends and tuck in to your yummy Christmas dinner!

So far today I’ve:

-woken up

-opened presents with my parents

-had breakfast and watched Narnia with my dad

-done Christmas makeup

And later on I will be

-having Christmas dinner with my mum, dad, aunt and uncle

-watch the Christmas soaps while stuffing my face with chocolate

-watch Christmas movies

-sleep

This December has absolutely flown by but yet so much has happened! Thanks to Graham I’ve made the most amazing memories this Christmas and have been blessed to spend most of them with him.

I hope you’ve all had a lovely Christmas season and enjoy today as much as possible!

Thank you so so much again for reading my posts!

I’m taking a little break till the new year and I can’t wait to continue my blogging adventure in 2018!

BLOGMAS – DAY 24 – My Christmas Decor

Hey guys,

Welcome to my 24th blogmas post! And Happy Christmas Eve!🎅🏼🎄 I hope that you enjoy whatever your plans are for today! Whether that’s going out or staying in watching Christmas movies. One more sleep to Christmas!

I know I’ve said this a lot but I can’t believe how quick this month has gone! I don’t know if it’s due to doing blogmas or generally, I remember writing my ‘Welcome to Blogmas’ post as if it was yesterday! And here we are on the 24th day already it’s crazy!

Today’s post is about my Christmas decor, I’m only doing the Christmas decor in my room as my mums decorated the whole house and if I did a post for all of it let’s just say, it would be a long post!

This is the first year I’ve actually properly attempted at decorating my room and as my room is already painted red I settled for white, silver and gold coloured decorations and it’s quite subtle! I love Christmas but I like my room to be subtly decorated as I find that more calming.

I hope you like them! They’re not much but they definitely give my room a Christmassy vibe!

What’s your favourite Christmas decoration?

BLOGMAS – DAY 21 – December Favourites

Hey guys,

Welcome to the 21st day of my blogmas! Only 4 days left! Today’s post is going to be my favourite products from this month!

So let’s get started!

Body care

Sleepy, mask of magnamity, snow fair body conditioner from Lush and VeeBeautyLdn’s eyelash and eyebrow serum and two lip balms. I love using all of these, definitely would recommend for you guys to try it out!

The body scrub by what’s in it for me, smells edible and leaves your skin feeling incredible! (Haha rhymes)

Fragrance

So fragrance were kind enough to gift me with these beauties at the Blogosphere Christmas festival last weekend and they all smell so lovely! So affordable and pretty! You can purchase these from most boots stores and would make great stocking fillers!

Face mask

Im loving this face mask at the moment! You can check out my full review on L’Oréal’s pure clay masks here.

Makeup

This is a recent buy of mine from Urban Decay and it is the Heavy Metal palette. Don’t let this picture fool you, this palette is HUGE well.. in comparison to their other palettes. I swatched it in the shop and bought it then and there that’s how much I loved it! Will do some looks using it soon!

Hair care

I was also luckily enough to be gifted these at the Blogosphere Christmas festival too by Ogx! I LOVE their hair products! Been using their shampoo and conditioners for maybe 2 years now, my hair definitely thanks me for it!

Books

This is my favourite book of this month! I love it! Check out my review for it here.

Netflix

These are my two favourite series at the moment, not just for this month but they’re what I’m watching this month! If you haven’t seen either or any of them I definitely suggest that you should!!

What is your favourite product of this month?

BLOGMAS – DAY 19 – Things to do in London at Christmas

Hey guys,

Today is the 19th day of my blogmas and I can’t believe how fast it’s gone!

I hope you’re all having a lovely Tuesday so far!

It’s amazing how much more there is to do during Christmas time, of course this depends on where you live but if you’re like me and live in London you’ll know there is SO much to do! And I never seem to be able to do it all in one year! By the end of the season I’m always saying to myself “I will make sure that I do that next Christmas” and the list in my head just gets longer and longer….

So let’s get started!

Here are some things that you can do in London at Christmas time:

Winter Wonderland– this is my favourite place to visit at Christmas time! If you’ve never been but live close enough too then you definitely should! There’s so many things to do and see!

Here are some pictures from when I went earlier this month.

Carnaby Street – I’ve only been here once but I loved it! It’s more carnival style than Christmassy but is so beautiful, so many colours! Here are some pictures from when I went.

  • Christmas Markets – these are the BEST at Christmas time! They help you feel festive and have such cute and unique little gifts that are good for yourself or others. There are quite a few Christmas markets in London, here are the ones that I know of:
  • winter wonderland
  • south bank
  • Leicester Square
  • North Greenwich

Picture above: Leicester Square Christmas Market

Kew Garden Christmas Lights – I’m actually going here tomorrow with Graham, can’t wait! Keep your eyes peeled out on my Instagram to see pictures of it!

Oxford Street Lights – you are bound to see the Christmas lights at Oxford Street at least once if you live in London! This year they have used angles which is really sweet and pretty!

Ice skating – whether this be at Somerset house, winter wonderland, Queensway or just any of those pop up ice rinks; ice skating is a must do activity in the winter! You’re already wrapped up so you might as well!

Of course there are lots of other things to do during Christmas time in London, there are websites that show events that are going on in London all you have to do is google!

What is your favourite thing to do at Christmas time?

BLOGMAS – DAY 17 – Favourite parts of 2017

Hey guys,

Welcome to my 17th Blogmas post and happy Sunday!

In today’s post I will be reflecting on the past year and the best parts of it.

2017 wasn’t a perfect year and it has had its downs but I prefer to focus on the positive parts. Christmas is such a busy time but I also think it’s the right time to have some down time to reflect, which is what I done for this post.

So here are my favourite parts of 2017:

• Starting a new relationship with Graham. I can’t say meeting Graham cos I met him in 2016, but since us starting our relationship I’ve never felt happier. I’m not going to go into all the soppy details cos he knows exactly why he makes me happy.

• Starting my new job at the school, since working here I’ve realised you don’t have to be stressed at your job and you can have fun! I love the people I work with and I love what I do, 2017 wouldn’t of been nearly as good if I didn’t get this job.

• Starting this blog is another big favourite. Thanks to having a blog I’ve met some amazing people who are so kind and lovely and have helped me so much even without realising it.

• The gigs I went to this year, I haven’t got the best memory but to the best of my memory I’m sure that I’ve seen all time low, you me at six, Ed Sheeran and Sean Paul this year as well as going to the summertime ball.

• Going to Cyprus with my best friend and her parents. I love going on holiday and the weather was so nice, we did loads of nice things and made some wonderful memories.

• Going to Bournemouth and Brighton with Graham. Those two little trips made big memories.

• Going to the Harry Potter Studio Tour because I LOVE Harry Potter and it was a truly magical experience which I’m going to relive next week yay! Check out my post on my experience here.

And that is it! I hope you’ve enjoyed reading this as much as I’ve enjoyed writing it!

What is your favourite part of this year?
