December Favourites | 2015

 

Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog! Its that time again where i show you all the things Ive been loving in the hectic month of December!

Makeup and Beauty:

Zoella Wonderhand Hand Cream

I got this for Christmas, i adore the packaging, this smells incredible! Plus it keeps your hands super moisturised!

Carmex Lip balm

I think I'm maybe a bit late on the carmex craze, but it is seriously the best lip balm Ive ever tried, great if you have dry or chapped lips during winter, like me!

Zoella Blissful Mistful

I have wanted this ever since it came out, but i somehow never got round to it, and when i got this for Christmas i was so happy! The smell is amazing, i have been using this non stop.

Maybelline Colour Drama Lip Pencil in "210 keep it classy"

I'm not sure if these lip pencils are new to maybelline, but when i came across them, i just had to buy one. Ive been seeing a lot of people wearing deep rose shades, so i picked this one up, and i love it! Its super pigmented, and creamy too! Definitely go pick one of these up.

Books:

Binge by Tyler Oakley

I only have one book for this month and that is binge, even though i haven't finished it yet, i fell in love with the book. Tyler has such an interesting life, he has the type of humour i laugh out loud too!

Fashion:

Checked Scarf from Primark:

I have been meaning to get a scarf for ages, and i picked this one up from primark, let me tell you, its the softest thing EVER. It goes with most things in my wardrobe, and would you believe its only £5.00!

 

 Polar Bear Bed Socks from Next

If you buy these your feet will definitely thank you for it, plus they have cute little ears on them!

 Music:

Ruth B The Intro

 This month i have a whole album! Some of you may not know who this is, most people know her song "Lost Boy". After listening to that i got addicted to her voice and her album. She is extremely talented, and you should got check her out right now!

Troye Sivan "Heaven"

Blue neighbourhood has been one of my favourite albums this year, but i love one song in particular at the moment, and that is heaven, i cant count how many times Ive played this. Go listen to it and the whole album if you haven't already.

Random:

Baymax Tsum Tsum

Some of you may know that i am obsessed with all things disney, so i got this little bean shaped baymax!

24DaysOfZoella

I guess most of you reading this watch youtube and vlogmas, and Zoe's has been one of my favourites to watch. She also did a video everyday on her main channel, which is amazing!

We've come to the end of yet another monthly favourites, hope you enjoyed all my content this year! Oh and i got a camera, so the pictures will be a lot clearer and much better quality!

Thank you again for a lovely year,

My Goals For 2016

Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog! I thought i would do a post for all my 2016 goals.

1. Dont care what other people think - i think this is a very important one, not just for me but for everyone reading this!

2. Drink more water - i dont really drink enough water, so i need to start doing it.

3. Be more confident - Im never the most confident person, but i would like to change that.

4. Be comfortable in my own skin - this kind of corresponds to the one above, and if that means doing more exercise then i will do it, just remember do it for your own happiness, not anyone elses!

5. Spend more time on my blog - I feel this year hasn't been the year i put all my effort into this blog, so for 2016 i want to start taking it more seriously!

So that's all for this post, i also just wanted to say thank you to all the people who read my blog for an amazing year!

P.s Comment down below some of your 2016 goals.

Top Ten Christmas Films

Hello everyone, today's post is very exciting because its my top ten Christmas films! Don't forget to share your holiday faves down below.

 

1. Home Alone

 

Starting with the most classic Christmas film out there, i have to watch this, if i don't its not Christmas!

 

 

2. Home Alone 2

 

Now i know that lots of people don't like the second one, but guess what, i love it! I especially like the pigeon woman. If you haven't seen it you wont know what I'm talking about!

 

 

 

 3. Arthur Christmas 

 

This is a fairly new Christmas film for me, as Ive only watched it once, but i fell in love with the storyline and the characters.

 

 

4. Santa Clause 

I don't know what to say about this film other than its so funny!

 5. A Christmas Carol

 

Jim Carey is one of my favourite actors, Jim Carey + Christmas = an amazing movie. I also love this version as its animated!

 

 6. Rise of the Guardians

 

Ive got this on DVD, and it just never gets old, also i know this technically isn't a Christmas film, but its got Santa in it, so it counts!

 

 

7. The Nightmare Before Christmas

 

Tim Burton is one of my favourite directors, i just love his style of animation, creepy but cool!

 

 

8. The Grinch

 

If you haven't watched the Grinch then we cant be friends (just kidding:), i just remembered this has Jim Carey in it too!  

 

 

9. The Holiday

 

This film is so cliche but that's why i love it so much! A perfect romantic but festive choice.

 

 

10. Love Actually

 

I'm obsessed with this film all year long, whenever its on the TV i have to watch it! I think this has to be my favourite Christmas film ever!!

P.s Don't watch it with your parents though, might get a little awkward:)

 

 

And that's it for this christmassy post, go ahead and count how many times Ive said Christmas, love and festive!

Take care,

November Favourites | 2015

Hello everybody, its time for another monthly favourites, also happy December! So lets just get on with the post.

Makeup:

Seventeen Miracle Matte Primer

This is the only seventeen product Ive tried, and its amazing! It doesn't necessarily keep my face matte all day long, but it does keep my makeup on!

MUA Blush In "Bon Bon"

I saw this blush on the superdrug website, and it was number one in blushes! So i had to try it out, i couldn't believe it was only £1.00! It is really pigmented and i love the colour.

Skincare:

Neutrogena 2 in 1 Wash and Mask:

I have seen this everywhere, on peoples blogs and youtube channels, so obviously i had to get it. I cant rave about this enough, it has cleared my skin up so well. I just love using it!

Neutrogena Pore and Shine Daily Scrub:

Superdrug had a buy one get one free on selected skincare, so i decided to pick this up. It is fantastic for the mornings, when you need waking up, plus it smells so good! On days when i wear makeup i use this and the seventeen primer, and that helps tackle my super oily skin!

Random:

Faith In Nature Pineapple and Lime Conditioner:

I don't think Ive mentioned this on here before, but my hair only responds well to natural hair care products. If i use things with loads of chemicals in, it makes my head super itchy:( This conditioner makes my hair so soft and shiny, i will be repurchasing this for sure!

Original Source Coconut Hand wash:

Ive never really liked the taste of coconut, but i have always loved the smell (is that weird?) This hand wash smells amazing, and it leaves your hands smelling of coconut, so of course i had to put it in here!

The Vampire Diaries Season 7:

As you know i love the vampire diaries, i was so excited when season 7 came out. Even though (blank, because i don't want to spoil it for anyone) isn't there anymore, it is still so good!

Once Upon a Time Season 5:

You also know that i am in love with ouat, i was literally counting down the days until season 5, and it didn't disappoint!

Fashion:

Boohoo Floral Skirt:

Only one thing for fashion this time I'm afraid! This has been sitting at the back of my wardrobe for quite some time now, so i thought i would just wear it. I know its not everybodys style but i think its adorable!

 

And that sadly brings us to the end of my November favourites, comment down below some christmassy blog post ideas!

Take care,
