What I got for Christmas 2015

Hi Everyone, 

I have finally got around to writing what I got for Christmas. I am NOT posting to show off but these blogposts/youtube videos are my favourite kind to watch and I want to be able to look back on this. I am also extremely grateful for everything I received and I love my presents! Lets get started...

So I mainly asked for Primark pyjamas as they are my favourite and are a really good price! These are all from Primark except the white pyjama bottoms with gold snowflakes which are from Tesco. 

These were also in my stocking and I am super excited to try out the Simple rollerball! 

So I have wanted the Pink sprays for so long and one of my best friends bought me set of four minis which smell so good and are perfect for my bag! I also got some mini perfumes from my stocking and I am excited to try the Prada Candy one. 

Obviously I got Chocolate and Terry's chocolate orange are my favourite so I did good

These are some small bits and bobs - A lush bath bomb, a heart mirror, manicure kit and a mug with H on which I have honestly wanted for so long! 

I got some clothes, this one is a black cropped top that I got from my best friend from Topshop.

Some more perfume which I am excited to try as I have heard good things about Ghost and a Maccys bag from New York.

This was one of the presents from my Mum which is a gold and white bangle with my name engraved onto it and I love it as it is super personal! 

A rose gold bracelet that I now wear every day. 

This was my favourite present that I wasn't expecting as I have wanted one of these Ted Baker purses for about two year now! It is pink (my favourite colour) and the inside is rose gold, I don't even want to use it because I don't want it to get dirty! 

I somehow managed to get two They're real Benefit mascaras to add to my ever growing mascara collection and I can't wait to try them! 

I hope you have all had a good Christmas and a happy New Year!

Merry Christmas

Hi Everyone, 

Sorry I didn't blog over Christmas, I wasn't at home and to be honest I was spending time with family and relaxing instead of worrying about the blogposts. I hope you all had a good Christmas and that you also got to spend some quality time with your loved ones. 

I am planning to write some blogposts now and there is a 'What I got for Christmas' on its way as well as two 'what I got in my advent calendar' so be excited for those! 

I am not sure what to post in January if I want to still upload every day so there may be four a week instead of one a day because I don't have a crazy amount of ideas of what to post! 

This was a shorter post to keep you up to date but get ready for the blogposts to come!

Christmas Day Morning Routine

Hi Everyone, 

So I love looking at other peoples morning routines which is why I thought I would show you mine for Christmas day! 

So the first thing I do is wakeup, usually in our house someone will be up before me and I will wake up by hearing them around the house. 

Then I head downstairs to go and say Merry Christmas to everyone or I will wake anyone else up who isn't already! 

The first thing we do is have a bacon sandwich with a glass of champagne or if your not feeling that crazy you can go for a cup of tea! Then once everyone is finally in the lounge with their breakfast we will begin to open presents and I'm the one who hands out the presents to everyone else from under the tree and when everyone has theirs I will then begin to open mine. We open them as we get them at the same time, we don't do it one by one.

After everyone has opened their presents we will then clear up all the wrapping and everyone will start to get ready. I have written a 'Christmas day get ready with me' so go and check that out to see what I wore, what I did with my hair, and my Makeup for Christmas day! 

Heres a sneak peak of what makeup I wore.

I hope you enjoyed this, I know I will enjoy looking back at this as I am really happy with how the pictures came out and I hope you guys all have a great Christmas!

Gift Guide for Him

Hi Everyone, 

As you know I have just uploaded a 'Gift guide for her' and I also wanted to do a Gift Guide for him so here you go. Whether this is for your Brother, Dad, Nephew, Grandad, Uncle, God brother or anyone else I hope this helps! 

Obviously only get this for someone who is overage, I think it is a fun present for brothers and nephews as it means they can have fun with it! 

Clothes are also something really good for Men as I don't think they are that fussy with what colour the top is just as long as it is the right size! 

I always get someone a wash bag, this one is for my Grandad as it is something easy that everyone will make used of and I liked this one because it came with a really good quality wash bag which I know my Grandad will appreciate and get a lot of use out of. 

I know this gift guide was a lot shorter but I haven't had to buy for as many Men this year as Women and I still hope it gave you some ideas of what to buy.

Christmas Gift Guide for Her

Hi Everyone,

This is going to be a longer blogpost but I hope an extremely helpful one! As Christmas is approaching and you are worried because you are still stuck for what to get someone I am going to help you out by writing an affordable gift guide for her whether that is your Mum, Sister, Auntie, Nan, Godmother, Niece, Best Friend, or whoever!

I bought this for Nan as I didn't know what to get her but I know a lot of people love perfume so I thought this would be great for her. 

This set of mini perfumes is for my Sister as she is going travelling and she was saying how much she wanted mini perfumes to travel with. These are usually available in places like Super drug. 

My Nan asked for a new bag and I found this in Tk Max as they do affordable bags in there. This was £25 and I think it is really nice. 

Clothes are always a lovely present to receive (as long as you buy something they will want and the right size!) 

I always think useful things are a good present to receive and one of my Friends has just become vegan so I thought I would get her this vegan cookbook to help her out! 

Who doesn't want chocolate for Christmas? This is such a easy thing which I usually add to most presents for friends. 

A personal gift is such a good idea if you are stuck and whoever you are giving it to will appreciate it so much! 

Everyone will appreciate a candle and this year Primark's Christmas candles smell so good! They are only £4 as well I would definitely recommend you check them out! 

Makeup brushes are a more expensive option but it depends what you budget is. However I do think makeup brushes are such a nice thing to receive because you can never have too many! 

A perfect option for when you don't know what to get your Family or Friends; makeup as it can come in very useful to people especially when they don't already have it. However I usually ask what makeup people want so I can get them what they have actually asked for, meaning they will use it. This is the Maybelline in the nudes eyeshadow palette which is a good palette for anyone as it has a nice selection of colours. 

I hope this helped any of you who are stuck for ideas on what to get people! There is a 'gift guide for him' coming up soon so look out for that!

The best things about Christmas

Hi Everyone, 

So I thought I would write about some of my favourite things about Christmas as December is one of my favourite months. 

I love the Christmas time because its when everyone comes together and people around you are all so happy and festive. I love how busy the shops are and how excited people get for buying presents; that's another thing I love is buying presents for people even though it is expensive for the amount I have to buy it is completely worth being able to hand out presents and I love it! 

Christmas Eve is probably my favourite day around Christmas as this is the build up and everyone is so excited, obviously this is when Santa visits too and I think it is better than Christmas day because Christmas day goes really quickly but Christmas Eve is when everyone gets excited and usually when people travel down if they are spending Christmas elsewhere.

Writing this has made me super excited and I hope you enjoyed this post!

Christmas Gift Wrapping Ideas

Hi Everyone, 

Today I am just going to put some pictures of the presents I have wrapped because some of my presents are wrapped differently and I thought it might give you some inspiration! 

I love this present as all the colours go really well and the ribbon looks so cute!

This look is a bit more classy as its gold but how well do the tag and the paper go? I was impressed with my choice! 

This option is more for the children as it is super colourful and fun but I think it looks really good!

This to me is very Christmassy as the wrapping is red and again the tag goes really well with the wrapping as its all red so this is more of a fun one again! 

I hope you enjoyed this and that it gave you some inspiration for wrapping presents!
