Blogmas Day 22: Christmas Gift Boxes And Festive Nails

Hey guys,
If you saw yesterday's post you will know I didn't show the Christmas gift boxes I bought as I was saving them for today's post,

Blogmas Day 21: French Braids, Winter Is Here And Reindeer McFlurry!

Hey guys,
Can you believe there's only 3 days left of blogmas?! It's gone by so quick!
Anyway, for today's post I thought I would share a few things with you guys,
So, without further a do let's get into today's post then shall we?

First today I was up nice and early to go to the hairdressers,
I was there last week getting my hair dyed differently (you can see my post all about that here) and I had asked one of the hairdressers to french braid my hair for me, but she didn't have time as she was really busy, so I agreed to come back this week for her to do that before Christmas (I'm hoping the braids stay in for Christmas Day)

Blogmas Day 20: Finally Finished Christmas Shopping And Outfit Of The Day

Hey guys,
Today has been another busy day so I’m sorry there isn’t a proper post up again tonight,
Today we went to finish Christmas shopping and I actually got everything I needed,
The only presents I have left to buy are for my dogs and I’m just gonna get them one each and one to share from Pets At Home tomorrow
I also have some Christmas gift boxes to get in Matalan tomorrow too, to put everyone’s presents in for Christmas Day,
As for today I had my flu jab this morning, which wasn’t fun haha
We also went to B&M and I managed to find the last two presents I needed in there
As well as that we went to Primark again for me to pick up another Christmas jumper but then my sister said she’d get me it as a present for Christmas

Blogmas Day 18: Attempted Christmas Shopping And A Little Summer Throwback

Hey guys,
I'm sorry this is another random post but some posts I had planned for blogmas kind of didn't work out,
Today I've been out most of the day again so I haven't been able to sort a fully put together blog post sorry

Anyway, today we went out to try and get some Christmas shopping done as well as look for me a coat haha
We went out and first went in Primark where I looked for a coat, unfortunately I didn't find any that fit properly
I also looked at boots for Winter, I went in looking for flat boots and left with a pair of heeled boots haha
I'll insert a picture of them tomorrow

I then looked for another Christmas jumper but didn't find one, I found the same one I already got recently but they didn't have my size

Blogmas Day 15: Lunch, The Nutcracker And Workout!

Hey guys,
For day 15 I’m basically going to be writing about everything I did today,
I met up with Tamanna to hang out before Christmas and here is what we got up to

So, I got ready and went to pick Tamanna up,
My Mum then dropped us at the cinema and we decided since we had an hour to spare before the movie was showing that we wanted to watch we would go for lunch first

We decided on McDonalds as we both had quite tight budgets today haha,
I got 6 chicken nuggets, large fries and a hot chocolate (and ketchup too of course haha)

Blogmas Day 14: Winter/Christmas Lush Haul


Hey guys,
I can't believe we're over half way through blogmas already!
For day 14 of blogmas I thought I would do a Winter/Christmas Lush haul,
I've never done a Lush haul before so I thought when better than blogmas, it's such a good excuse to try a few more Christmas products haha,

Anyway, I went to Lush the other day with my Dad to pick up everything I wanted and the staff were super helpful,
As soon as I walked in they asked if they could help me and then we said I had a list and instantly they were looking at my list and helping me find things, they then offered me a basket which my Dad originally took and then when he had to take a call outside the woman in there took the basket and got all of my products for me and then finally when it came to me paying another member of staff took the basket to the tills for me
They were very helpful and I really appreciated all of their help

The items in this haul overall cost me £31.85, I did get another product too that isn’t in the haul though as it’s a Christmas present, but I took that off the price mentioned above so that the price was only the total of the haul shown

With all that said here is the haul,

Blogmas Day 12: Present Wrapping And DIY Wrapping Paper

Blogmas Day 9: 12 Days Of Photos!

Hey guys,
For blogmas day 9 I thought I would create my own photo challenge,
I have never actually done a photo challenge, although I tried to follow one a while ago and I remembered about it for like a day so I never completed it haha but I decided rather than just doing one someone else created I would create one myself that other people can join in with, that way you guys can get involved too if you'd like

The photo challenge will start on the 12th and end on the 23rd and I'd love it if any of you guys would get involved, I'd love to see your photos
I will also be doing the challenge myself so if you want to see my photos too you can follow me on my Twitter and Instagram

So without further a do here is the challenge!

Blogmas Day 8: Winter/Christmas Q&A!

Hey guys!
For day 8 I thought I would do a Q&A, so I asked you guys for some wintry/festive questions and I actually got quite a lot,
I decided not to put people's names as some people send a ton of questions which I really appreciate, those of you who sent more than one as well as those who sent only one question helped me a lot, so thank you!
Anyway, into the Q&A!

I asked for questions on Twitter and Instagram and got so many on Instagram but only one on Twitter so this post kind of turned into an Instagram Q&A haha
I've also put some similar questions or some of the same questions together rather than answering the same thing twice

Hey guys,
For day 4 thought I would write up a bucket list style post,
I did a Winter/Christmas bucket list last year (you can find that here) but this year I decided to do another one, although I decided to do it as a December goals, so that it isn't a bucket list starting after Winter starts (on the 21st), that way it's a little more open than last year's haha
