A while ago I put up a Winter/Christmas bucket list, as part of blogmas, and today I thought, since Winter is coming to an end, I would do a little update,
Basically let you guys know if I completed things haha
So, let's jump into it!
(I'll link all posts that relate to anything I made for blogmas or anything I mention at the end of the post, but I will also put in some pics)
This one I managed to complete, I didn't buy anything, but me and my friend had a good look around,
I love Christmas markets so much!
Next on the bucket list was to drink hot chocolate,
I also completed this one, I love hot chocolate all year round if I'm honest
Next, sticking with the theme of hot chocolate, was to make white chocolate hot chocolate,
Again I completed this one, I actually made it as part of blogmas, I'll put in a picture or two of how it turned out here,
I was actually really happy with how well it turned out and it tasted pretty good too haha
Again I did this as part of blogmas, back in December,
Like I mentioned in the last one I'll put in pictures of how the stirrers turned out,
So here is how the stirrer itself turned out, I think they look so cute haha
And here's what the stirrer looks like once it had all been stirred into hot milk
Next up was to bake something Christmas themed,
I guess I kind of completed this one, again coming back to blogmas haha, but I made 2 treats, not sure if it counts as baking or not, I'll put in pics of each treat,
These were the gingerbread truffles I made for blogmas
And these are the rice krispie Christmas puddings I made
Next, make a gingerbread house/village,
Back in December I found a gingerbread village set at Morrisons and decided to get that,
It was really fun to make even though it did take a long time haha
I'll just put pics of one of the mini houses from the gingerbread village or this would be a very long post haha
Next on the list was to find my Christmas jumpers,
Unfortunately I didn't get around to this one and I was very sad I didn't get round to finding them haha
Then the next thing on my list was to buy a new Christmas jumper,
Another one I didn't get around to completing unfortunately
Buy a new coat was next,
Again I didn't manage this haha, I'm picky with how a coat fits and I just couldn't find the right one, I even went back to the shop the other day and I actually came away with a jacket for Spring haha
I'm just more of a jacket kinda gal, I'm not a fan of coats
Wear a onesie was up next,
Again I didn't get around to this, I've really loved lounging around in my Primark jumpers throughout Winter
Next on my bucket list was to get a Starbucks in a Christmas cup,
I managed to complete this one, I didn't get a Christmas drink, but I got one of the Christmas cups at the time
Next up was to buy a new Christmas mug,
I love Christmas mugs haha, they're so cute!
I got a stocking cup this year and I loved it throughout the Christmas season
The pic isn't great but this is the Christmas mug I bought
On the list next was to finish my Christmas shopping,
I mean it would look bad if I hadn't done this one haha, so yes, I completed this one
Wrap all the presents I bought by December 24th was on my list next,
I mean, again, it wouldn't look good if I didn't get this done in time haha, so yes, again I completed it
Try a new Christmas themed drink was next,
I didn't get to do this as there wasn't really any drinks I would like on menus this year,
I got a Lindt hot chocolate from Costa but I had had that the year before so that didn't count haha
Next up on my not so little list haha was to wear a bobble hat,
As I mentioned in the original bucket list post, I'm not a huge fan of hats but I did really want the Zoella Lifestyle one from the gift set, but when I was able to get to the shop for it they had sold out,
So, I didn't complete this one
Next was to wear a red lip or a bold lip,
I actually wore both a red lip at Christmas and a bold lip,
I wore a red lip both on Christmas day and Boxing day and I wore a bold lip throughout most of the Christmas season
My bolder lip choice was actually mentioned in the My Favourite Festive Lipstick post for blogmas day 7
Listen to Christmas music was next,
Of course I completed this haha, I couldn't not listen to Christmas music throughout the festive period
Next up was to play in the snow,
I did complete this, it was on a dog walk as my dogs love to play in the snow haha
The day I'm updating this (Feb 28th) we had a lot of snow and Chase loved it
Complete blogmas was next,
I still can't believe I managed to blog for 24 days straight, some days were very stressful, there was one day I didn't get my post up until past 11pm and I honestly thought I wasn't going to get it up in time haha
Next was to put up a second Christmas tree,
I didn't get around to this but one tree was enough haha
And finally was to watch Christmas movies,
Again it wouldn't be Christmas without Christmas movies, so of course I completed this one,
I love Christmas movies during the Christmas season
