Festive Room Ideas

Now usually I don't really decorate my room for Christmas, i normally do everywhere else.
This year I thought why not and get really festive.

Here are some of the thing I decided to use to get me all festive for Christmas

Tinsel- tinsel is one of them you can put it anywhere and everywhere but with me I've just hung it across my wall and around my bed

Another one is fairryyyy lights! I've been looking for fairy lights for a long time, but I've finally found some. These ones I got are from primark for about £6 i think it was and they are just sooo cute. As I have a photo line I just drape it on there, I feel it makes the room even more cosy.

I'm definitely going to be getting some more of this lights.

I know this one isn't a room idea but it's clothing, and its Pjs.
Pjs i think are the one to get all festive there are so many shops that do christmassy ones from: M&S, Tesco, Primark, New look etc etc
But these ones have to be my favourite these are Disney ones with mickey mouse on I just think primark are the ones for Christmas, they probably have everything you need!
How ever I did get some new ones from H&M and they are super comfy!

Last on is Bedding . You can get really christmassy bedding from primark again.
they do some many from pola bears with snow flakes to patterned one with stags on, but however I didn't get any, as the material of the bed sheets wasn't that great. hopefully I can find somewhere else that has festive one otherwise I may have to go back and get them .


I would love to know how you get all festive for christmas.

Christmas lush haul

"Christmas Time, lush haul and bath time"?

Who else gets excited when lush bring out their Christmas range? well you can tell I went a bit overboard with the things I bought.

What I got: (I will try and describe the smell as best as i can)
Father Christmas- This one smell a bit like candy floss. As this bath bomb fizzes away, it leaves your bath a vivid green!. People say if you like this bath bomb you'll love snow fairy. So I'm guessing I'm going to have to try snow fairy!

Dashing Santa- This one has a citrus smell to it, and has mandarin oil and bergamont oil which will leave you super fresh, also helping to clear the skin.

Shoot for the stars- Now this one you can tell its going to turn your bath all different colours, this one again has a fresh citrus smell to it.

So white- This one says it has an apple sent, and you can definitely smell it with a hint of rose flower. This one I would say, is a fresh scent.

Candy Mountain- This one is another sweet smelling one, and is a bubble bar and will turn you bath pink! It kinda smells of ... those mushroom sweets anyone remeber them?

Snow angel - This one is a bath melt which will leave you skin super soft and glittery, as it does include coco butter.

Golden wonder- Now this one I've been wanting to try - I can already see it will turn your bath a different colour and this one is also super glittery. This one had an in between smell - Sweet and cirtusy.

Yog Nog- Ooo just smelling this one makes your mouth water, toffee with a hint of spice.

Cinders- Its says it's a hot fruit punch smell, which includes some popping candy just reading that, makes me excited to use this one .

The Experimenter- I know this isn't a chrimassy one, but I just had to pick it up, as I saw it in the oxford street lush and wasn't sure but this time as I've see different hauls and reviews about this one, I thought why not. - This one to me smells a bit sweet with a hit of musk.  You'll just know this one will turn your bath all colours!

The only thing I didn't pick up was the snow fairy shower gel which they only had the big ones not the small (sad face) and a few other baths bombs/melts as I didn't really like the smell.

I can't bare to use these because they all smell so goood! and not forgetting the snow angel- looks so pretty and glittery, you just know this one will go everywhere. I think this bath melt will be amazing before a night out.

What is your favourite Christmas lush product or bath bomb? 

Clothes show Live!

Hello my lovelies

So if you don't know what clothes show is, it's a fashion show showing all the new trends including beauty and music.
They also have a load of stalls (all different of course) varying from makeup to clothes to nails to teeth whitening, anything you can think of, its most likely it'll be there. 

Within the stalls you can meet different celebrities that's if your quick enough! But within the show they do singing acts last year it was Elyar Fox and this year it was 4th impact from xfactor and omg were they amazing!

I think I went to every single store except from NYX (sad face) but all I got was two eye shimmers from Helen E one sliver and one gold these eye shimmers are sooo pigmented also from Helen E a base for eye glitter not bad all for £10, Last thing i got was this drinking Jar (Mason jar) with a cute reindeer on the top, and a bracelet which my friend has the same as it was 2 for £3.50.

Here's a few pictures from the show

If your into fashion, makeup, hair or if you just like fashion shows then this is definitely for you it's amazing! 

If you haven't been I think it's worth the trip.

I'm definitely thinking about going next year

November favourites

Hi guys,

Wait what's that you say?
Yep it's that time of the month again .... Favorites time!

Seriously where has this year gone, its gone too fast and am i the only one who hasn't started their Christmas shopping yet ? i know i know it's bad but im on it (chessy grin)

ooo what shall i start off with makeup or beauty ..... makeup it is

 My love for this product... why did no one tell me sooner?. This benefit hoola bronzer is honeslty amazing, it just gives a really natural finish. I use this for both, for a slight contour and bronze. I actually got this in the sale, on Asos which I can't fault cause everyone loves a deal?

One of the things I love about this is it comes with a small brush, ideal for getting that contour look also, it's easy on the go so you don't have to take a brush with you.

These two little beauts of lip products one is rimmel Kate lipstick in the shade 107 and the other is topshop in black widow. And not forgetting the lip liner from maybelline in the shade 540 Hollywood red. 

The lip liner is the perfect match for the lipstick 107.

With these two lipsticks, I first apply the 107 and the lip liner then go over with the topshop black widow, and all I do is just dab it on and it just creates a perfect winter berry shade.
You can either leave them by themselves i usually do this with the 107 cause i feel the purple one is too daring, but for me i do like to mix up the shades to create a slight dark berry look.

Ooo talking of berry shades this is the rimmel lasting finish nail varnish in the shade black cherries 

I was a tad upset that my Essie nail varnish had nearly finished so I was trying to hunt around in my nail varnish collection to see if I could find a similar shade, and yes I found one.

This type of colour, is my go to. Even though I have other colours,I will still go back to this one. 

(Writing this post remind me I need to go and get an Essie one)

Perfume you say? 

Yep this diesel loverdoes perfume is my all time favourite scent, it's a very sweet musky smell. You only need a few sprits as it is a strong scent.
The scent for me is long lasting, however during the day i do like to use it just for a freshen up, one thing i love about it aswell you can just pop in your handbag and you're good to go.

Next is this body lotion in Pink chiffon from bath and body works, I actually got this from my secret santa from work from last year which I still don't know who got me it.(sad face)
 But anyway this body lotion is so sweet smelling you can smell it from a mile of, when i apply it my sister always knows its me and she can tell that I have used this product because its a strong smell
Your can tell how much I have loved this product it's nearly gone!

It also has Shea and vitamin e in which is also on the plus side leaving your skin really soft

I wish we did bath and body works in the uk! 

I guess you could call these last two random favourites.

First off is postcards, i love post cards I dont know what it is about them, some have meanings, and some are just too cute. I get these postcards from paper chase, and I believe they are 70p.

Your can either give them to friends or family and wrtie little messages on the back, but with these I like to hang them up as i have a photo line so I just like to put them on there, even put them around my desk. I just feel  it adds a little something.

I also have one that says :' your oyster is your world' which was too cute(shall i say) not to get.

Last but not least its a canddlle.
Honestly i love candles yankee candels, scented ones,christmas ones you name it.
This candle I actually got from, one of my friends for my birthday. It just comes in the cutest tin, this candle is sweet smelling and by the name of this tin, it must be what fairy dust smells like but if you see these candels in shop- i know you can get them from john lewis places like that. Go a have a smell because to me it smells like heaven,
when buying candles if your that type of person that buys a candle and when it come to burning it, it doesnt really smell of anything?, this one makes the whole room smell of sweets ,I'm deffienly going to see what other ones they have in the range.

This is what the inside looks like when its lit (can someone help me out and tell me what sweets these look like, I've been trying to think but nothings coming to mind). It's crazy how much ive been burning this candle and there still a whole thing left and that one thing I love about this candle,it'll last you ages!

What are your favourite chrismas candles? or even all time ones I'd love to know

Spread love

Hello my fellow bloggers/readers how's your day going?

Now this is a really different post for me to write but I've just seen it a lot around the Ytuber/blogger/viewer community do you know what it is ....... That's right hate.

I was going to write in the notes and post it on Twitter but I thought why not write a post about it I know I know it's not beauty or fashion related but It has to be said (happy face)

I'm gonna try and keep this post not too long hopefully I won't rant too much 

But recently I watched one of gabbys videos, and if you don't know who she is ...then you should

One thing that plays on my mind is hate, I just don't understand why she gets hate you can see that she puts so much effort and pride into her videos, yet someone will have something nasty to say she's just a human being, so what if she's doing something she loves (this goes to other fellow ytubers/bloggers :)) when you see them cry you just want to give them a hug.

I just think before you feel like writing a harsh comment or think ew why've they done that, just think if YOU were in that position, how would you feel. So many people think oh there just behind a camera or a blog but they do have feelings, and they do have a life and they're just going about their day to day life, like a normal human being.

What if I don't like it? 

If you don't like what someone produced (is that the right word) whether it's a makeup video or and fashion post dont read or watch it. Just take a step back or (shuffle back if your sitting down) and think of you. If you were on the other side and someone posted a horrible comment just think how would you feel? Would you like it? If you answer if NO then don't say it.

When watching YouTube videos of people that I've watched for ages even years and I've seen that some comments break friendships, which isn't a nice thing to see but on the otherside you can see that those people(youtubers,bloggers,vloggers) are stronger than what people say, they can see whatever people may say about them or whatever rumor they try to spread ...... it wont work!

Sometimes you just have to realise that we, you, me everyone will make mistakes and we will learn from them its just part of life.

Not everyone is perfect, not everyone has the perfect life,If you do I'm jealous. Because day by day there is always something, we have to overcome...

I know this is really different- something short, but I just wanted to share it
Just be YOU be true and don't say post a comment or even say things that you wouldn't like people to say   to you!

October Favourites

 I can't believe that its nearly Christmas (is that to early to say?) this year has flown by...
But we know what that means monthly favourites time!....... I know I know I'm bad at doing a favourites, but there's a few things that i have been loving that i wanted to write a post about .

Lets start off with makeup favourites

My first favourite has to be Nars sheer glow this has become my savoir, all my other foundations have either been too heavy or to cakey but this foundation is amazing, it honestly makes you skin look flawless and for me I like foundation that looks natural but also gives you full coverage and this does the job(excuse the lid) .

Next is my holy grail Maybelline big eyes mascara, this omg i couldn't live without, ive already gone through one which kinda shows you have much i love this product. it just makes your eyes look big and full i just do about 3 coats and then your good to go 

you can buy this from any drug store

Rimmel glam'eyes liquid eyeliner, this eyeliner is honestly amazing I've gone through so many of these its that good! this eyeliner is so easy to use as it has a fine tip, I can go from a simple look to a cat eye.

The Nars purifying foam cleanser, this product my auntie actually gave to me, with this product all you have to do is just wet your face with a little water, pop some of the product into your hands and just rub it all over your face and honestly this stuff is amazing it so quick and easy to use. I use this cleanser to remove all my makeup and honestly it's amazing it does the job.

Music favs:

Now with music i probably play it every single day- cant go without music .

My favourite for music this month have to be Jess glynne new album called I cry when I laugh. There's just something about buying an album my favourite which i love, from this album my fav song has to be gave me something. Aint got far to go and No rights No wrongs (Ok i lied there was 3)

just 1 more.I promise. This has to be Zara Larsson &MNKE - Never forget you.

Fluffy socks has to be a favourite this month.

Yep that's right fluffy socks i just find them sooo cosy and they are always an autumn/winter staple.
I just think it's so cute, If you are wearing boots, and they just stick out a little from the top,I feel it can make an outfit causal but smart at the same time, and of course everyone hates cold feet.

My last favourite has to be this scarf from H&M. I'm so glad i bought this its so thick and cosy feels like heaven. it so easy just to throw on i love it, it just goes with anything I wear. 

What are you favorites this month?

D.I.Y Open when letters

Looking for idea for presents always is a task but i was looking through pinterest and came across these open when letters. I thought this was such a cute idea that whoever your making them for could keep them forever

How to make them you say? 

There are loads of different ideas to make here's a list of ideas that I used that could help you

Open when:

1.You're happy/having a good day (I put this two together as they both kinda meant the same thing) 

2.You're having a bad day

3.It's your birthday 

4.You're bored 

5.You can't sleep 

6.You need motivation 

7.It's your wedding day 

8.You need a hug 

9. It's your first at at uni 

10.When you graduate 

11.when you want to reminisce 

I did about 15 open when letters but you can do as many as you want.

What you'll need:

Patterned paper 

Coloured pens 

Lined paper 

Glue

Ribbon 

Things to put inside (extra) 

With each of these letters I added little quotes pictures and postcards anything that would mean something to the letter idea 

As I've listed pattern paper this is to make your envelop:
this is how i made mine:

Start off with the paper in diamond shape, and all you want to do is fold it in half across and then upwards and just press in the middle so that'll give you a guide.

Now you can see in the middle there is a line all you want to do next, is just fold the two sides in so its meets at the line and press down.

 Open it back up.
All you want to do is create two small triangles show in the picture and again fold
The just fold the two side back in.

So once you've folded the sides in, take the bottom half and bring it upwards.

When bringing the bottom half upwards you want to make sure that the top inner corner of the side flap starts to meet the triangle.

(now press down )

Once that's in place now all you want to do is fold the small triangle inwards, so it starts to look like and envelope

Now just fold the top triangle down.... and there we have it, your very own envelope

Nope we haven't finished yet.

Open it back up, now this is where the glue comes in. All you want to do is glue all the triangles down.

Finally fold the sides back in and just glue the corners where I'm pointing to.
Also just take it a little up so its secure when you fold it.

 And there we have it a finished Diy open when letter envlope - with the flap you can either tuck it in, but for me I got these cute stickers and used to hold it down

Last but not least I put everything inside a box.
With the envelopes I just tied a ribbon around, to hold them altogether which I think looks super cute.

So there we have it your very own DIY open when letters

I really hope you like this post

Let me know if you've tired this cute little idea as a gift
