What I Got For Christmas 2014

 

I'm certainly one of the nosiest people around, and love reading these 'What I Got For Christmas' posts. I know some people don't particularly like these, but as I love reading them and seeing what others got, I figured that I would do the same too. This isn't everything that I received, but I decided that you'll soon see the couple of fashion items in new OOTD's and I didn't really feel the need to show DVD's, as I want to stick mainly to the beauty/fashion theme of my blog. I don't think it's necessary to show gift cards either. Also just to put it out there, I am extremely thankful for everything that I received and am in no way, shape or form bragging about these gifts.

One Outfit, Two Ways / The 12 Days of Blogmas #12

So it's the 12th day of the 12 Days of Blogmas and I can't quite believe I've managed to blog every single day! To some degree I doubted that I'd be able to do it, as I sometimes struggle putting two posts up a week, but I'm so happy that I've achieved it! These twelve days have been such a boost for not only my blog (in terms of stats), but also for me. All of the great comments that I receive from each and every post motivates me to continue blogging and to continuously improve and learn new things. This month has really been the best month for my blog and me as a whole, so thank you to anyone who took the time to read even one post! Thank you!

 

 

As this is the final day of Blogmas as Christmas is tomorrow...yes I know, crazy?! I decided that I would blog about one of my favourite things. Fashion. If you've been on my blog over the last few weeks, you may have seen that I've started posting more fashion related posts than I previously had been a few months ago. This is mainly because I've now enlisted my mum as my photographer (haha), as I felt that my blog was something I was proud of and have finally started telling more people, but also because fashion is one of my main passions, and my interest in it is continuously increasing. I know that compared to many other bloggers, my style in no way has that unique flair, but this is my little corner of the internet where I feel that, although not always different, I can share what I've been loving with others and maybe someone will in one way or another benefit from that.

Red Polish Collection / The 12 Days of Blogmas #11

 

I've said it before, and I'll say it again; I can't believe how close Christmas actually is! With this special day looming ever so near, you may start to think which nail polish you want to wear. If you're simple like myself, then you'll just go for the classic red. So although I don't have very many nail polishes (as I can't paint my nails for work) I thought it would be a good idea to show you all of my red drugstore polishes and talk about each individual one.

Why I Don't Like Covergirl's Outlast Stay Fabulous Foundation / The 12 Days of Blogmas #10

 

As someone who would, after this past year consider themselves as a makeup junkie, when I hear fantastic reviews about a certain product, I jump at the chance to buy it and I was certainly very excited to get my hands on this! In this case I'd heard a lot of great things about the Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous Foundation or if you're from the UK, I'm pretty sure it's exactly the same as the Max Factor Facefinity Foundation. I purchased this product in the September when on holiday in Florida, and now feel that I've had substantial time to gain a good enough view of this foundation to give an honest opinion.

Christmas Favourites / The 12 Days of Blogmas #9

As I've had a pretty busy weekend and had very little time to blog, I'm afraid that today's post is a relatively short and quick one. I know that this isn't up to scratch with the rest of my posts but I couldn't miss out on a single day of Blogmas...I promise that the last three days will be to a much higher standard! Anyway, I thought that a good little idea would be to discuss some of my personal favourite Christmas themed things. So here goes!

 

Movies

If you read my recent Christmas tag, you would've seen that I'd listed The Holiday, Elf and The Grinch, as some of my favourite Christmas films. However I also love watching both The Wizard Of Oz and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang around this time of year, as although they're not necessarily Christmas films, I find that they both only tend to be on television around this time of year.

 

Songs

I'm possibly the biggest lover of Christmas songs. I'm definitely one of those annoying people who will randomly start singing Christmas songs in May...but it keeps me happy! Some of my favourites include All I Want For Christmas, Last Christmas and All I Want For Christmas, however I will sing practically all of them at the top of my lungs!

 

Food
When it comes to Christmas dinner, I'm definitely a fan of all the unhealthy items! I'm obsessed with pigs in blankets, stuffing and sausage meat, so I make sure to top those up on my plate at Christmas! I'm not a fan of Christmas pudding, but I love a lot of the desserts that my family have on the day...basically anything with chocolate...

 

Traditions
Year on year, each Christmas in my family tends to differ. But one particular thing that I really enjoy every year is when me and my family pull out all the fun games. We always pull out games like Pass The Bomb and Bop It, which I probably find even more enjoyable as I tend to win quite often haha!
