Decorating Gingerbread Stars:D

Image
Hi guys!  One thing I enjoy about this time of year is baking and decorating food. My favourite thing is gingerbread so, this week me, mum and Tony got some gingerbread starts and decided to decorate some ready made gingerbread stars from the local super market. The box came with red icing, snow flakes and green sprinkles! I also made my own butter cream icing as I didn't just want red stars. I am very fussy!  It's a quick and easy task to do and anyone can do it. You don't have to be creative! Talk soon!  Merry Christmas!!

Top Six Christmas Movies! 2015

Image
Hi guys! It's three weeks till christmas so i thought i would count down my top six christmas films. I've chosen six as it is my favourite number. I do have many more films which i love watching such as The Grinch and a Disney Christmas Carole but, these six are my go to movies.  At number Six is A Miracle on 34th street. I prefer the 1994 version then the 1947. This is purely because i am not a huge fan of black and white movies. I enjoy the story line in this film it's a great film to watch whilst getting cozy warm in front of the fire place. Number Five is the Polar Express. So many people say they didn't enjoy this but i love all animated films more or less. It/s basically got Tom Hanks as almost every character. If you don't know what the Polar express, It's a train who picks up children on christmas eve and take them to the north pole. I don't want to spoil the plot so you'll have to watch it :D Number Four is The Nativity. Th...

IT'S DECEMBER

Image
Hi guys!   IT'S DECEMBER! Which means it's 24 days until Christmas whoop whoop! I am so incredibly excited. The thing I most get excited about is watching people open presents which I have given to them. I also love walking down the streets and watching the trees and the twinkling light pop up one by one. It gives me a super warm fuzzy feeling. I am 19 and no matter how old you are, everyone should have a advent calendar. I always get chocolate ones but I would love to get a Yankee Candle or Charlotte Tilbury one.  Cadbury is my favourite chocolate so my nanna and grandad always get me one and have done ever since I can remember. This year the chocolate is thicker and it had two layers. Well I think it has. I love how they have reindeers and Santa and all different Christmas related chocolates. Cadburys always puts in a little message which is intended for children but it's still exciting!!!  I hope you all have a fantastic Christmas and I will blog again very soon :D mer...

Lush obsession!

Image
 Hi guys! Not to long ago I went into lush. I initially went to pick up one bath bomb but, seen as they have the whole Christmas collection I got super excited. I have now decided that when you got into lush it's a crime to not buy at least one exclusive (joking really). Especially when they are Christmas related!  I only became aware of lush earlier this year so I don't know what they had in there collection last year. I have been so thrilled with this collection and can't wait for all of the others. Favourite Christmas products: Peeping Santa  Golden wonder(present), candy mountain, the magic of Christmas(cinnamon stick for handle), magic wand (pink wand) and snow angel Fun: Santa. I bought this one in Australia and much prefer the packaging over there! Shower gel: Snow Fairy. I love the smell of this. It smells delicious. I can only describe it like candy floss. All of these products smell amazing! They also add a shimmer to the bath which any glitter love will adore! ...

Christmas cards!

Image
Hi guys! It's now that time of year where we begin to buy all the presents for those who are near and dear! Yesterday I went into the city centre and picked up some lovely Christmas cards for family. My tips for finding the best cards are to make sure they say something meaningful for both you and the person you are giving it to. I also like to make sure it has a beautiful picutre as that's what's going to be on the mantle piece for the next month:D I chose this for my boyfriend as it looks like it simbalises us! The words inside it are cute aswell and will mean a lot to him.  I am now going to start writing my cards for family and then loads more for friends and neighbours. Its always nice to spread a little festive chear around!  Merry early Christmas all!!! 

Bonfire night fireworks!

Hi guys! On Friday I arrived home after a 22 hour flight from Australia. We arrived home at 7am and knew we couldn't sleep till later on. It was very difficult as we hadn't slept for hours!! Anyway when we got home we found out my Nanna had bought us fireworks for the Saturday  We missed halloween which is my favourite holiday so nanna said it only seemed right that we do bonfire night propperly.  On Saturday my nana and grandad came round with a big bowl of potato hash to warm u sup whilst watching the firework. We all sat down and enjoyed that along with our toffe apple before going into the back garden to light the fireworks.  My boyfriend Tony took over lighting the fireworks because he loves seeing them off. We had a huge box of sparkly fireworks and ones that explode on the ground and we had  huge 72shot box which exploded with colour in the sky. I love the but i don't like the noise. ...

Long haul travel tips

Hi guys so since I have just come back from my holiday I thought I would share some long haul travel tips with you!  Sleeping on a plane can be difficult so make sure you pack enough things to keep you entertained through the flight. Tip one: make sure you pack warm comfy socks! I packed my bed socks because they are so cosey. My feet often get cold whilst flying so these made sure my feet stayed extra warm! Tip two: pack a puzzle book, reading book and a pen (or two). I always being these with me. Even if I don't do a puzzle I always know it's there just in case. Tip three: wear extremely comfy clothes. You don't want to wear super uncomfortable clothes the whole way!! Tip four: if you are transitting in a note country or if you are going to a hot country, take shorts! We stopped in Singapore so brought shorts. If we didn't we would have melted it was crazy humid!!! Tip five: try to pack light. You don't want to carry around a huge weight. And finally tip six: brin...
