December Favourites

Monday 29 December 2014


So I was meant to put this post up on Saturday but I kind of forgot I’ve been spending a lot of time just relaxing and spending time with my mam and dad as well as forgetting to post something because I simply forgot what day it was, but this years coming to an end and I’m kind of upset realising that this year has been a big year for me and a lot of things have changed for the good mainly, but it’s crazy how fast this year has come and gone it’s been a very busy year so for the final time this year here are a few of my favourites from December.

My first favourite of the month has to Christmas themed and is my new Christmas bedding from Asda I paid £12 for a double quilt cover which came with two pillow cases to match the cover and it’s so cute. It’s red and white and has reindeers, hearts and snowflakes on, I love it and I’m going to be a bit gutted when I take it off.

(sorry for the quality this was took on my phone) 

Another favourite of mine this month is my fairy lights that I’ve had since last year but I re-put them up, which they go over my mirror up over my tv (which is on the wall) and then down over my camera and tripod. They’re so cute for the winter and to make my room more festive and cozy.

(again sorry my camera settings are a bit messed up and i can't get them back to normal) 

Moving away from the Christmas theme and on to TV my favourite tv program of the month is The Secret Life Of An American Teenager. Basically this is an American TV show which I’ve been watching online and it’s got Shailene Woodley in it and she plays a 15 years old called Amy who finds out she’s pregnant and it’s full of Drama and has some comedy in it, it’s quite a good program and I’m already onto season 2. Definitely one of my favourite tv programs at the moment since I usually watch more action/ supernatural relate things such as The vampire Diaries, Supernatural, Arrow or The Flash, it was quite a different program for me to watch but it’s really good if your into things like Awkward.



One of my favourite perfumes of this month has been Rebelle by rihanna now I’m not good at describing scents so I’m just going to use the one on the boots website the website says. ‘Rebelle is a delightful enticement bringing to mind not only the warmth of the Carribbean sun, reflecting Barbados-born Rihanna’s roots, but also the exhilarating whirl of her present-day city life. The perfumers behind Reb’l Fleur have teamed up once again to capture Rihanna’s essence, this time with a lush, sensual Gourmand Chypre.’ I love this perfume and I’ve had it for a year now after originally buying her Reb’l Fleur perfume and it’s definitely not an expensive perfume and at Boots a 50ml bottle costs £19.99 and the original price is £29.


And my final favourite of the month has to be my jumper from H&M which is black and grey striped and has to be my most worn item of clothing, I usually chuck a vest top under it and wear it with my leather jacket and sometimes my parka jacket I also wear it with black skinny jeans and my pair of swede wedged boots which are from Newlook, this jumper is quite oversized so for college or long days out it can be very comfortable and cosy to wear.


So these have been my final favourites for the final month of this year, I hope everyone had a great Christmas if you celebrate it and if you don’t I hope you guys had a great day and I hope everyone has a nice new year as this will probably be my last post until 2015 so I’ll post again then.

The Christmas Tag!

Saturday 6 December 2014


it's officially December so that means everything literally becomes about Christmas! it's already the 6th of December and i have my christmas decorations up and i have made my room quite christmassy (i bought Christmas bedding, have candles, a 3ft Led christmas tree and of course some fairy lights up.) i love this time of year and i was looking through Bloglovin' when i came across THIS POST on Milk Bubble Tea's blog and i thought it was so cute and to get into the Christmas Spirit i thought i would also do this tag, so here are my answers to the tag. 

1. What is your favourite Christmas Movie/s?
Oh god, there’s so many to choose from I really love the polar express I only watched that for the first time last year but it has to be my favourite it’s so cute, I also like the home alone's well I’ve seen one and I enjoyed it so I can’t wait to watch the rest of them this year! Oh and how can I forget I love the Grinch I usually watch this on Christmas Eve it’s just a nice film to make you feel Christmassy.

2. Do you open your presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning?
Always on Christmas day, but on Christmas Eve I do get one present which is usually a pair of Pj’s or when I was younger I used to get like bath things like when I was 4 like toys or something fun.

3. Do you have a favourite Christmas memory?
Yeah I do, my favourite has to be last year’s Christmas so I basically got up and I opened all of my presents and my mam and  dad opened theirs and I had finished opening them and I was really pleased with what I got like I got my camera (Nikon D7000) I got some make up, perfume the usual and basically It got to about 1pm and obviously all presents were open I had seen family and it was just time to relax around and mess around with my camera and my dad showing me how to use it and stuff, after that I went to get a drink from the kitchen and my mam told me my dad wanted to see me in the sitting room so I went back in and there was this white box on the floor and basically it was a Apple Macbook Pro with retina display and I was stunned for the rest of the day it was such a surprise and it’s one of my favourites.

4. favourite festive food?
I’m not really sure there’s not much festive food I eat usually the only thing traditional is the Christmas dinner so I’m just going to go with that haha.

5. Favourite Christmas gift ?
either my camera I got last year or my macbook it’s one of the two.

6. Favourite Christmas scent?
I haven’t really got a favourite anything remotely Christmassy and I’m happy but probably the yankee candle scent which is called Sunlight on Snow not too sure if that can be classed as a Christmas scent but it’s snow and it’s a one that comes out at Christmas but it’s my favourite.

7. Do you have any Christmas Eve traditions?
Usually I just have a relaxed day and watch Christmas films or anything that is on tv along and usually on the night time I watch the Shrek deck the halls which is always on BBC One every year and for my tea that night my mam, dad and I have a Chinese it’s a tradition we’ve always done.

8. What tops your tree?
MY mam always puts an Angel on top of the tree but I’d much prefer a star on the top I’m not sure why but I don’t really like having the angel on there.

9. As a kid what was the one (crazy, wild, extravagant) gift you always asked for but never received?
This is actually really hard because I can’t actually remember and I don’t really think I asked for anything massive for Christmas as a child I usually just asked for the usual Annabelle doll or the baby born stuff. I don’t think I’ve ever asked for something, which was really crazy or extravagant.

10. What's the best part about Christmas for you?
I think the best part is Christmas day when you spend time with your family and like the exchange of presents, I love it when I see my mam and dad open there presents and I know they love it when I open my presents and I think it’s one of the best times because you can make their day by getting them something completely unexpected and it can make them so happy.

So these were my answers to the Christmas tag, if anyone wants to do the tag then here are a list of the questions and link it in the comments as i'd love to read some.
