Festive Haul!!!

Hello everybody!!

Today I went shopping and i decided to buy a few Christmassy items!

From top shop I bought some plain black jeans.  These jeans were £38 and I do think sometimes Top Shop jeans are pretty expensive but I think they also really fashionable but yet soft and comfortable. 

I also paid a visit to Lush where I bought two festive bath bombs and got two samples of their new Toothy Tabs. I purchased the Butter Bear bath bomb  and the frozen bath bomb. 
The Butterbear bath bomb smells rather nice and is super adorable. That bath bomb is white on the outside but I'm not sure what colour it is going to dye my bathwater so I'll just have to wait and find out when I use it. Whereas, the Frozen bath bomb is a mixture of light blues and dark blues and has some sparkles through it too. This one has a more fruity scent which I also really like! 


I managed to receive samples of the Boom and Miles of Smiles toothy tabs, they are basically an alternative to your average toothpaste. Miles of Smiles smells like mint and the Boom is gunpowder, which I believe means tea. Boom also includes charcoal which is meant to be great for removing stains off of your teeth. I am excited to try these out! 


Next stop: The Body Shop!!!!

I had such a great and enjoyable time whilst I was in The Body Shop. In the end I only picked up two items but I really love them so much and I cant wait to use the shimmer mist throughout this festive period!  I adore their Christmas smells, especially the glazed apple. I couldn't resist not to buy a glazed apple hand cream; so I didn't. In case you didn't know I love the handcream is from The Body Shop,  so I really like this one too. I instantly fell in love with the frosted plum shimmer mist, so again I had to buy this too!! There are so many options for Christmas gift ideas in The Body Shop which most are really inexpensive and they're great for secret Santas! 





Thank you!!!!

Halloween, Bonfire Night and Christmas!!

I honestly can't believe it's November already!! This year has flown by so quickly!! As now we only have two months left in 2015, it's time to start preparing for Bonfire Night (5th of November) and (in my opinion) most important of all... CHRISTMAS!!! There are still 54 days until Christmas, but I'm sure those days will go passed really fast! However, last night was of course Halloween. We still sort of celebrate Halloween in the UK but not as much as some other countries such as America. I did go out with my friend trick-or-treating but only for a short period of time as it was freezing! 



Halloween Night!!

I decided I was going to dress up as a zombie or something similar, but in the end the makeup screamed zombie to me but unfortunately the outfit didn't really. I aimed more for the warm and cosy costume rather than scary as it was only about 10 degrees Celsius. I got inspired to be a zombie by AnderasChoice and Sarocha B; both fabulous you tubers. So if you want to see a step-by-step tutorial on how to achieve the makeup, check out those 2 you tubers above in bold. I practised doing the cut the night before and it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Probably because it doesn't have to be neat as it is a large slit wound and you can just drench it in fake blood to make it look more creepy. I know the pictures aren't great quality as they were taken with my phone, but I hope to invest in a new camera. 




Bonfire Night!!

This is celebrated on the 5th November so in the next few days. We celebrate Bonfire Night because of the failed attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London by a group of people including a man named Guy Fawkes. People light all colours of fireworks from parks, beaches or back gardens. Sparklers are also a big hit too!! Most cities throughout the UK host large, brightly coloured firework displays. Make sure to stay safe and keep your furry friends inside!!! 

CHRISTMAS!!

Christmas is one of favourite times of the year. I think that giving and receiving gifts makes up a small percentage of Christmas. Of course I am super grateful on receiving gifts, but I love being with my family most of all and we have to remember why we celebrate Christmas. I thoroughly enjoy listening to Christmas music throughout the festive month, especially when wrapping gifts for others. I like the classic, popular Christmas songs as well as the more modern ones too. I love planning what gifts to get my family and wrapping them. I like wrapping presents so much, I find it really fun and it never hurts to play some Christmas songs in the back ground! I know some creative ways to wrap gifts too! I'm super excited for the lead up to Christmas and of course the actual day too! 


Good bye!!!!!!
