The Christmas Tag

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! Today i'm going to be doing the Christmas tag.

1)What is your favourite Christmas film?
I love loads of Christmas films (shown in previous blog) but I would have to go with "The Grinch" because it is such a classic and is so funny!

2)Have you ever had a white Christmas?
I definitely have had a white Christmas but it was that long ago I can't really remember it.

3) Where do you usually spend your holiday?
I will always spend Christmas at home! I could never think of going somewhere hot at this time of year because Christmas for me is all about the cold and snow etc.

4) What is your favourite Christmas song?
Again mentioned on a previous blog, I love so many Christmas songs but I would have to say Last Christmas by Wham! has to be my all time favourite.

5) Do you open any presents on Christmas eve?
Me and my family always carry out our tradition of opening a present containing a pair of pjs on Christmas eve but no, all presents are saved for the big day!

6) Can you name all of Santa's reindeer?
Dancer, Prancer, Dasher,Blitzen, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Rudolph. I always forget poor Donner  hah.

7) What holiday traditions are you looking forward to this year?
Definitely putting up our tree and all the decorations and wearing new pj's on Christmas eve and of course Christmas dinner!

8) Is your Christmas tree real or fake?
Fake

9) What is your all time favourite holiday treat?
Probably a box of hero's (different kinds of chocolate in a box) or just holiday chocolate and sweets in general.

10) Do you like giving gifts or receiving them?
Honestly, both because I love the process of choosing presents to give to my family and friends and seeing their faces when they open them but everyone loves receiving gifts to be honest.


I hope you've enjoyed this blog and thought about your answers to these questions. I'll be writing again very soon!x

Autumn lip

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! Today i'm going to be sharing with you my favourite 3 Autumn lip products.


1) NYX Lip Lingerie in shade Corset
This lip colour made an appearance in my Autumn make up routine. It is a perfect Autumn shade and i'm also really into my matte lip products at the moment and this one is perfect! It was also really inexpensive which is perfect as your'e only really going to be wearing shades like this at this time of year.

2) NYX soft matte lip cream in shade 32 Rome
Again, another NYX product. I just feel that NYX really get their shades correct and provide lots of different Autumnal style lip products. This lip cream is so easy to apply and also smells of marshmallows which is a lovely treat ahah. Also very cheap like the previous product.

3) MAC Cremesheen in shade Japanese Maple
Finally, this is a type of nudey colour as I sometimes like to wear more light clothing in autumn sometimes and this colour just really stands out even if it is a nude shade. It is really moisturising but more on the higher end of lip products at around £15 but well worth the money!

I hope you've enjoyed this blog and i'll be writing again very soon!x

My favourite Christmas songs

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! Today i'm going to be sharing with you my top 5 favourite Christmas songs.


1) Last Christmas - Wham!
This song has been  my all time favourite Christmas song for 2 or 3 years. I just love the tune and it makes me feel so festive and I also love Ariana Grandes cover of this song too.

2) I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday - Wizzard
This song is such a classic and reminds me of Christmas when I was younger as I sang it in primary school. This is my go to Christmas song every year and yet again it makes me feel super festive.

3) Wonderful Christmas Time- Paul McCartney
Again, such a classic and festive song. I only started to love this Christmas song the past couple of months but it is becoming one of my favourites.

4) Driving Home for Christmas - Chris Rea
Like the previous song I mentioned, I only started liking and listening to it the past couple of months. It reminds me of all of the family having a reunion at that time of year and laughing and having fun, thats why I love it!

5)  December- Ariana Grande
Finally, one of my all time favourite Christmas songs is this one by Ariana. I  love her tone of voice and just overall how she sounds in every song.  This is definitely a must for this time of year and if you haven't heard this song i'd 100% recommend you listening to it and the rest of the songs i've mentioned previously.

I hope you've enjoyed this blog and i'll be writing again very soon! Obviously these aren't all the Christmas songs I love but they are at the top of my list of my favourites.

Christmas Movie suggestions

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! We all know how much I LOVE Christmas so today i'm going to be sharing with you my top 5 favourite Christmas movies.

In no particular order:

1) Elf
I Love this movie! It is about a human called Buddy who is brought to the north pole to work with elves and finds out he isn't an elf and decides to go to New York to find his biological father. When he finds his father, his father thinks he is crazy but brings him into his home to live with his wife and son. Not to mention, his father is on the naughty list! So Buddy attempts to make the family feel as Christmassy as possible! This movie is great and me and my family watch it every year at Christmas time. It is so funny and it just overall a classic film to watch you must all watch it if you haven't watched it already!

2) How The Grinch Stole Christmas
This movie is also a classic to me. It's about an animal called "The Grinch" who hates Christmas but when he hears he wins an award he comes down to the town and plans to ruin Christmas for everyone! This film makes me feel super festive and I watch it all the time coming up to Christmas and I just relate to the people who live in "Whoville" so much haha

3)The Nigthmare Before Christmas
This film can either be classed as a Halloween film or a Christmas film as it is about a Halloween town with a leader called "Jack Skeleton" he gets tired of going through the same routine every year of Halloween so visits Christmas town and decides to be Santa for the night but make all the presents Halloween themed etc etc. I love this film, I watch it all year round and is appropriate for all the family.

4)Home Alone
Now this film is an absolute Christmas classic! If you haven't watched this film, what are you doing with your life?!?! It is about a large family who go away for Christmas but leave one of their little boys at home! When burgalers attempt to break into his house, he has to attack them all by himself. This is one of mine and my families all time favourite Christmas films to watch on Christmas eve as it is extremely funny and festive.

5)  Arthur Christmas
Finally, Arthur Christmas. This film came out a couple of years ago so it is fairly recent. It is about a boy called Arthur who's dad (Santa Claus) is about to retire so his brother Steve is the next in line. I don't want to give the plot away so that is as far as i'll say about this movie but it is fabulous and again very funny.


I hope you have the time this month and next to watch most of these films as they are all classics for me!
Hope you've enjoyed this blog and i'll be writing again very soon!x

Secret Santa gift ideas

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! A while ago I did a Birthday gift guide and as it is getting near to Christmas and most people now will be starting to buy presents for family and friends, I thought I could help some of you out with what to buy people.

So, as a gift for someone in your friendship group which you do know very well but just can't decide which is a perfect gift for them, of course i'd recommend some products from LUSH. As you all know, LUSH is one of my favourite shops and is my favourite shop at Christmas. Everybody likes LUSH, especially their Christmas range. Even most boys like things from LUSH as it is uni-sex. If you don't know if the person you are buying for has sensitive skin or not, i'd recommend a bath bomb called "Butter Bear" as it is perfect for sensitive skin users as it has coco butter and other ingredients to soothe and moisturise the skin and of course you can buy this one for people who don't have sensitive skin as this is also one of my favourites.


I'd recommend buying a selection box. A selection box is a classic Christmas gift which I get every year off my family and a few of my friends as you can't go wrong as everyone likes chocolate and you can buy them from any supermarket so they are easy to buy.

You could even buy someone festive candles if they are older and into things like that. Candles don't really seem as an exciting present but in my opinion i'd be extremely happy if someone bought me one or two. I'd 100% recommend the Yankee Candle Christmas range as the scents are amazing and burn for hours!

If a friend is still in school , you could buy some stationery like pens,pencils and notepads. I'd recommend going to Paperchase or Cath Kidston as they have gorgeous ranges and Paperchase in particular do very different ranges from butterflies to skulls etc.


That is all for this blog so i'll be writing again very soon!

Christmas Wishlist Updated

Hello and welcome back to my blog. One of my very first blog post was my Christmas Wishlist, however since then their has been more items i'd like to add to that list! Therefore, i'm hoping for most of the things on my previous list plus these current things i'm going to be sharing with you now.

Firstly, i'd love to have some "Zoeva" brushes. This set in particular is in rose gold and has the brushes include what I mostly need. From what i've heard these brushes are amazing and good quality for the price they are (as they can be quite expensive) but I thought it is Christmas and people are allowed to splash out a bit more cash at this time of year as this set is £110.

I'd also like some products from "Too Faced" i'd most likely want the "Grand Hotel Cafe" make ups set. This set includes 3 pigmented eye shadow palettes with blush and bronzer included and the "Better than sex" mascara. This set is only £46 which I find is amazing for all the products you get and is highly affordable.

Next from "Too Faced" i'd like the "Merry Kissmas" lip liquids set which includes 4 of the "Melted" lip liquids and is only £22 which I think is great. These shades are also appropriate for after Christmas and early January/February.

I'm sure i'll be wanting more beauty prodcuts and items closer to Christmas so watch out for another post like this soon!

Autumn morning routine

Hello every and welcome back to my blog! Today i'm going to be sharing with you my Autumn morning routine as I recently have done an Autumn night routine.


On a weekend, I will first start to wake up and go straight on my phone or laptop to check social media and talk to my friends. Or I would catch up with some youtube videos i've missed from during the week or watch a movie.

After an hour or so of doing this I would then go downstairs and have some breakfast. I would normally eat some cereal or if i'm not feeling that hungry i'd just eat a cereal bar of some sort as i'd be having a bigger meal for dinner/tea.

Since my mock exams are coming up i'd revise some subjects for an hour or two then begin to get ready for the day!

On a Saturday I would normally go out with my friends so this is the time I'd be starting to get ready. Firstly, by exfoliating my face ( I only do this once or twice a week) as I do have quite dry skin,then just cleanse my face. Next, I would moisturise my face while I put on my outfit of the day and do my makeup (you can find my autumn make up routine on a previous blog.)

Now is the time i'd be leaving the house to get to the place I'm meeting my friend and carry out the rest of my day.



Hope you've enjoyed this blog and i'll be writing again very soon!

Pumpkin carving

Hello and welcome back to my blog! Today i'm going to be sharing with you 3 easy pumpkin carving design ideas.

I know Halloween was 2 days ago but I thought this would be an interesting blog post for you all to read.

First, here is a easy and more plain pumpkin look as I just carved 2 oval eyes to make my pumpkin look angry therefore more scary and a wide, pointed mouth which I pierced some cocktail sticks in the edges of the mouth as when you place the candle inside it lights up so amazingly! This design is so easy for people who find carving difficult and aren't very artistic with their ideas (like me.)

 This next design is inspired by "The Pumpkin King" Jack Skeleton. I love this design as "The Nightmare Before Christmas" is one of my favourite Halloween movies to watch at this time of year and carving this pumpkin was surprisingly easy with how complex the design looks. So again you carve 2 oval eyes and 2 smaller ovals for Jacks nose and a skinny, long mouth. This pumpkin looks amazing when it is lit.

Finally, here is a pumpkin design for all you Potter fans out there as this design is part of Harry Potter's face! This is such an easy design to carve and it is just such a simple idea but yet so thoughtful.
