What I Got For Christmas ox

Hey Guys!!

Now I am sharing the clothes I received, not all clothes have been included as I have worn some them and they are in the wash.

If you haven't seen already you can see the other 2 posts I have wrote about What I Got For Christmas, you can see the first one HERE and the second one HERE.

I had some gorgeous pyjamas, the ones at the front are Me To You and the white one at the back is a fluffy night shirt, I really can not wait to wear it.  I had a couple of t-shirts, some jeans and smart trousers, a jumper, skater skirt, a lace crop top and as you can see really cute socks. I also had a hat to add to my collection of thousands hats.

I also had these gorgeous Me To You slippers, they are so comfy and really keep my feet warm, I have hardly taken them of since having them.

I will do outfit posts on all of my clothes I received.

Hope You Enjoyed This Post.

See You Soon!!

What I Got For Christmas ox

Hey Guys!!

Part 2 of What I Got For Christmas is here!! You can see the first one HERE. In this post I have included all my Beauty gifts I received. 

I had quite a few lovely items that I can not wait to use and review on the Blog. I love the fact that because I Blog everything I receive or buy can be reviewed and blogged about, do you guys feel like that?

On with the gifts :)

These were the perfumes I received, Marc Jacobs Honey and Beyonce Heat Rush. They both smell gorgeous and can't wait to go to parties and other places to wear them :)

These were a few little gift sets that I received from my Mum, Nan and Mum in Law. The Snowlady is bubble bath and can't wait to use that, it smells of cinnamon and that is my favourite winter smell.

These were the more Hair and Beauty items I got. I really needed new make up brushes and these are so soft and I love the wooden handles. I seriously can't wait to use them, I also can't wait to use my little travel mirror on holidays. I did ask for rollers and bigger curlers as I like to have big curls rather than tight curls. There will be reviews popping up over the next month or so :)

I had this gorgeous set off Llewellyns' Brother and Girlfriend. I haven't actually opened this yet but I can not wait to see what is inside and try it all out.

My favourites of the Beauty items are of course the infamous LUSH products. I asked for a face mask this year as I wanted to try something other than different bath bombs. Everything else was then bath bombs apart from Candy Mountain which is a bubble bar. I can't wait to use all these as I love the smell, the texture, what it does for my skin and the rest of it :)

Hope you enjoyed this post.

What I Got For Christmas ox

Hey Guys!!

Christmas has been and gone, now for the usual disclaimer. I am in no way bragging at what I had for Christmas because if any of you readers are like me, you will love this weeks posts. I am very grateful for every present I had and could tell a lot of thought went into them. 

I have split the posts into 3 sections, Beauty, Fashion and Books/DVDs.

The first one is Books/DVDs. I like to share this sort of post as sometimes you may see things you would like to get in the Sales, as I always make a list of things I would like to try from other peoples' posts :)

Anyway on with the pictures.

I actually found I had asked for a lot of autobiographies this year as you can see and also you can see my love for Geordie Shore. I actually had 2 of The Pointless Book so I am going to do something different in each one. I have a 5 year journal which I am looking forward to using and also a great present I had off my Mum is the 642 Things To Write About. I also love my Hungry Caterpillar notebook, going to be handy for blogging and vlogging :) Out of all of these though I am really looking forward to reading Katie Pipers' book as I think she is such an inspiration to women all over.

I had some more Disney films to add to my collection, if you haven't seen on some of the Disney films they are numbered and I am slowly collecting them all. As you can see I had The Sims 4 which I am obsessed with now and can't stop playing it. I must say I am looking forward to watching The Fault In Our Stars even though I know I will cry.

I have added into this post my main present I had off Llewellyn. I love Polaroids!! I think they make pictures look so vintage and I just love the fact that you can take a picture and then it is physically in your hand in a matter of seconds. This is obviously a very popular camera and I absolutely love it. I have decided I am just going to take pictures here and there as I want to build up a lovely collection of special memories through Polaroids.

I hope you enjoyed this post.

Christmas Biscuits ox

Hey Guys!!

Every year as a tradition we get each other Boxing Day presents at a set price. I decided this year to do something different and baked everyone Christmas shaped Shortbread Biscuits.

All you need is:

Butter

Caster Sugar

Plain Flour

The recipe I used was from BBC Food which you can see HERE. If you have a go at baking them why not put a picture on Instagram and use the #ChristmasBiscuits.

This was everything that I needed, butter, caster sugar, plain flour, cookie cutters, rolling pin and cupcake boxes.

Just so you know when reading below I actually multiplied the ingredients by 4 as I had a lot of biscuits to make.

So first I weighed out 720g of Plain Flour.

Then weighed out 500g of Butter.

Then finally I weighed out 220g of Caster Sugar.

I then mixed it altogether in my electric mixer with the dough hook until it became a paste.

I then cut out all the shapes and baked them all for roughly 15/20 minutes each in the oven at 190 degrees.

Once they were all cool I then proceeded to decorate them with little icing pens and edible glitter spray.

For the Snowmen I used pink for the hat, white for his body and blue for his eyes and buttons.

For the Christmas Trees I used yellow for the outline as I didn't have green and blue for the tinsel.

For the Presents I sprayed them with Silver edible glitter spray and pink for the Bow. For the Stars I sprayed them with the Gold edible glitter spray, but forgot to take the photo.

I then put one each of all the biscuits into a space ship box as I couldn't find Christmas ones.

I hope you enjoyed this post.

See You Soon!!

Christmas Switch On ox

Hey Guys!!

On Monday it marked the first day of December, to say I was excited at the aspect of opening my Advent Calender was an understatement, but it also meant it was time to switch on the Christmas lights at Mums.

For as long as I can remember we have always got all the family around and had food and cakes, Christmas music on in the background to watch Dad turn all the Christmas lights on. I've always loved this as it really gets you into the festive spirit and looks so pretty.

I didn't think to take Llewellyns' camera so I apologise about the quality of the photos as they were taken on my phone and also some of them are from Snapchat. You can also watch my vlog HERE if you want to see all the lights turned on.

I couldn't rotate two of them so I apologise for any sore necks!!

Hope You Enjoyed This Post!!

See You Soon!!

Oh Christmas Tree!!

Hey Guys!!

It is the 1st December!! How quick has this year gone!! I seriously can't believe it is December already. But we all know what that means, other than eating chocolate everyday, it means its time for the decorations and tree to go up.

So that is exactly what I did with the help of my sisters, though we actually put my tree up on the 29th November. My tree is from Tesco and we bought it in the sales back in January 2013, it's a 6ft tree and is very bushy, which I love!! I decided to decorate it the same as last year with multi-coloured baubles, Me to You decorations, purple & pink tinsel, some random decorations and a multi-coloured star. I also put some multi-coloured lights on it, which look lovely.

We also put a rope light that my Dad gave me last year up, we wound this around the gaps on my stairs, which I must say took a while. When it's lit up though it looks gorgeous!! I then put mine, Llewellyns' and the Cats stockings underneath.

Llewellyn had already put the ceiling decorations up as I can't actually reach that high, short girl problems. We do also have a tree in our bedroom, it's a 4ft black fibre optic tree and Chloe put some blue tinsel on there to make it look a bit more festive.

I haven't got many decorations to be honest so it's not overcrowded, it's actually just the right amount to have. If you want to see the video of us doing my decorations you can watch it HERE

I will now leave you with pictures of the process and it finished.

Hope You Enjoyed This Christmas-y Post!!

See You Soon!!
