30th December



Ah beautiful camera case. It fits my new camera like a glove and is so smart and swish, I love it and super cheap on ebay. How shops can charge £25 for it I don't know..

Wee I love it!

29th December



Just a random picture of my nails.. I was playing with my camera on the night setting to see how it worked..

28th December



I have crappy chappy lips at the moment because of winter and it being so cold so I was in the poundshop the other day (I love them) and saw chapstick. Probably one of the oldest lipbalms there is and thought it might be worth a shot. Not expecting much but I haven't had chapped lips since buying it. I got strawberry first and now have the apple. :]

27th December



What any normal 27 year old gets for christmas? Yes a colouring book and pencils! :D

26th December



These are actually from the 25th. Just a few of the more random photos from christmas day. Dinner table, complete with the crapiest crackers we've had, christmas socks and the best game in the world!

25th December

It's CHRISTMAS DAY! :D and friday..!

1. Egg nog or hot chocolate? Hot chocolate – egg nog is americany weirdness!

2. Does Santa wrap presents or just sit them under the tree? Presents have to be wrapped! Whats the point of buying a present and not wrapping it?!

3. Coloured lights on tree/house or white? Gold, I like a traditional red and gold tree :]

4. Do you hang mistletoe? We did one year and had crap luck that year if I recall correctly, so we don't anymore

5. When do you put your decorations up? About 2 – 3 weeks before Christmas. I love how warm and homely it makes the house feel and we (ok I) always buy something new each year

6. What is your favourite Christmas food? Well people always moan about having turkey but I love turkey. Malteaser celebrations and cheesy puffs are always good too :D

7. Favourite Christmas memory as a child? Hmm a few. I got a pram one year and my mum told me that the box was empty and it was full of bottles (why this is a favourite I don't know) but I remember being so happy when I opened it and the pram was there.

8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa? I just got older I guess?

9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve? No no, Santa wouldn't have bought them yet

10. What's your favourite Christmas song? 'Bring in the Calvary', 'driving home for Christmas' or 'I wish it could be Christmas everyday'

11. Snow: love it or hate it? Love it, who doesn't love snow?!

12. Can you ice skate? Probably not!

13. Do you remember your favourite gift? GHDs! I like all (ok most) of what I get :]

14. What’s the most important thing about the holidays for you? Family, food, buying things for people.

15. What tops your tree? A gold star

16. Which do you prefer, giving or receiving? Both! :D

17. Favourite Christmas movie? Miracle on 34th street, ELF, Love Actually, The Holiday, Home Alone

18. What do you leave for Santa? We used to leave milk, a carrot and mince pies but we're a bit too old for that now..

19. Do you Travel at Christmas or Stay home? I prefer to stay at home really. I love setting out the presents and cooking in my kitchen :]

20. Do you do your own Christmas baking? I like to make mince pies, biscuits, Christmas pudding, sausage rolls, pigs in blanket, Yule logs, and we did pickled onions, eggs and cabbage this year.

21. Are you still wrapping presents on Christmas Eve? Hopefully not, but I actually like the idea of leaving it until the last minute to wrap.

22. Most annoying thing about this time of the year? People panic buying the weirdest things in Tesco like Brussel Pate. Who would want to eat that seriously?

23. What do you want for Christmas this year? Snow!

24.Have you been naughty or nice this year? You'll have to ask Santa that..

24th December



Some christmas eve photos of food goodies (which tasted better than they look btw..) although chocolate always looks good..! I was using my brand new lovely lovely camera! it was too dark though and I was just figuring out to use it but it's awesome, and blue!

23rd December



Even more tempting!

22nd December



(Apparently) £49.99 reduced to £9.99. I love the royal family, I watch the repeats all the time, so I thought for that that price, it was worth buying :]

21st December



I got a voucher in the paper for £5 off anything in bodyshop, so I bought this ^ spray, which is normally £6.50, so it cost me £1.50!

20th December



I bought a couple of things for my sister for christmas and in superdrug they had a 3 for 2 offer, so I picked a freebie of this lipgloss that I resisted buying for such a long time (I have lipgloss, I don't really need more) It's toffee smelling (smells sooo good!) and it was free, so no guilt for me! :D

16th December



Present drawer, full to bursting :D

15th December



Christmas cards :]

14th December




I made my first ever Christmas Chocolate Log (that I can remember) and it was amazing! Like seriously good especially the frosting.. mmm. We gave some to the neighbour and she loved it, so i'm going to make her one for Christmas :]

13th December



Present wrapping! One of my favourite parts of Christmas! It took 2 of us about 4 hours to wrap these presents and i've got way more than that to wrap up myself, so must remember not to leave it until the last minute.. :/

12th December




Din dins at the Watersedge and a picture of their tree. Which looked a bit sad really. Aww..

11th December - Friday Fun

8 Things I Wish I Could Do

1. Take better photos. I think I should be so much better at it than I am
2. Not worry SO much about everything.. everything!
3. Eat better.
4. Paint. My grandad used to paint lovely pictures and I think I get the want to be creative from him, but i've never tried it really. Who knows I could actually be really good at it!
5. Stop buying lipglosses and nail varnishes, but they call out to me..
6. Drive. The thought scares me a little but I think it would be great to have that freedom and I could drive to the beach then.
7. Go to Australia or New Zealand or both!
8. Have the money to open up my own bakery and smoothie shop. I probably could now but i'd lose it all in the recession!

10th December



A present for my mum from the South Pole!

9th December



A crappy photo of my tree! But it does show my new paperchase decorations, well kinda..

8th December



Our Christmas tree <3 I love Christmas!

7th December



Pineapple candle = mmmmmm

6th December



Asos had an offer spend £6 and get £5 off so I got a necklace, a candle and bubble bath for £6.40 instead of £11.40. But the bubble bath leaked over everything and the necklace was nasty! So I emailed them to complain as the bubble bath wasn't wrapped up or anything, and they sent me replacements, which was good of them. I sold the necklaces for £6 for 2 so I got 1 and a half bubble baths and 2 candles for free..

5th December




Me and my sister went to the Taste of Christmas at the Excel. I got free tickets worth £22 each. It was so much fun! It's basicially loads of different shops/foody online people showing you what they make and you can buy their produce at a little discount. There was chocolate, cake, biscuits, chutney, meat, drinks, crackers, sauces, tea, .. so much stuff and you got to try it for free! I bought some christmas chutney, christmas decorations, creme caramel and chocolate tea, and a present for my sister. We also got to see a few chefs doing demonstrations :] A good but tiring day.

4th December - Friday Fun!

1.Today I feel.. Christmassy as i've just made a Christmas Pud and been sorting through presents to wrap over the next week. Although i've just realised I need to buy some extra for my sister!

2. This week.. has been COLD but luffley and snowny! :D

3. Last night.. I watched TV, and hibernated in bed under the covers.

4. Lately the song stuck in my head is.. Jace Evett - Bad Things - I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH!

5. What is currently at the top of your Christmas wish list? accessorize scarf, perfume, books, and a breadmaker. And Lush!

3rd December



I took part in a Secret Santa and my present came! :D I'm excited and i'm going to try my best to keep it for Christmas. Best send mine off actually..

2nd December



Still a while to go until Christmas but I saw this in a shop for a £1 so it had to be bought!

1st December



I've wanted to get this shampoo for ages. I've tried a few different Boots over the last 6 weeks but no one had it but I finally found it in Westfield (they were just putting it out on the shelves) and it was BOGOF! Win!

30th November



Scary exercising kitty cat!
