Happy Blogmas Day 11! For Blogmas last year, a lot of my posts were spontaneous and they just ended up being rambles that I hadn't thought too much about before writing. However, for the posts so far this month, they've all been properly planned out. So I thought that it would be nice to have a post that is just me writing whatever's in my mind down. And I thought that the best way to do this would be to talk about what I love and hate about Christmas. I think the thing I love the most about Christmas is the whole festive period that begins on December 1st. The whole world seems to slow down, take a breath, and relax a bit. Even though most people are still working up to and over Christmas, the atmosphere of people in general tends to be calmer. Until we get to the week of Christmas, and then all hell breaks loose as everyone scrambles to get everything done in time for the 'big day'. And this leads to something I hate about Christmas. The 'big day...

Hey Guys! Happy Blogmas day 23! I'm just gonna be honest, I have no idea what today's post was supposed to be. I planned all of my Blogmas posts in one of my classes when I really should have been listening to the tutor! But anyway, for this post I just wrote 'The Magic of Christmas' and left it until now, when I realised that I have no clue what to write! So I'm just gonna write some stuff that may or may not make sense. Christmas is for sure a magical time, there's no denying that. Even if you yourself don't feel festive, the rest of the country does (if you live in the UK that is), and maybe even a lot of places in the world. It's really hard to get away from the festivities And even if you're not into the whole Christmas thing, the temperature drops to the point where you feel like going outside might kill you and if it rains, it snows. Everyone is feeling the same temperature and seeing the same weather - you literally can't g...

DISCLAIMER: This post is in no way me bragging about what I got. Instead, I'm showing you guys how awesome my friends and family are and how grateful I am!   Hey Guys x This year, I decided to do both my birthday and Christmas presents in one post, which I haven't done before, so it looks like I got a massive amount of presents in one sitting, which I didn't! Also, sorry to any of my friends reading if I forgot your present. I've had these things all over my house and couldn't remember if I'd picked up everything or not, but that doesn't mean that I'm not grateful! I love seeing these posts from other people, maybe because I'm a bit nosey! So I hope that you like seeing what I received too! Birthday Presents   This first present is something that I actually bought for myself! The Vampire diaries season 1-6. The week before my birthday, I asked both of my parents if they were going to get it for me, as it was something t...

Hey Guys x This is Gi Fletcher's latest book, a short story that continues from 'Dream a Little Dream', which I reviewed here ! Personally, I think that the best thing Giovanna ever did was leave this story open for a sequel, it is my favourite story of hers and this sequel certainly does not disappoint! Just as a warning, if you haven't read 'Dream A Little Dream', but you're planning to, my review will probably contain spoilers, so you may not want to read it! It carries on from where the last book left off following Sarah Thompson, her gang of best friends, and her boyfriend Brett Last. It's now Christmas, and not much has changed within the group - until now. It seems that Christmas is the time when all of Sarah's friends have decided that it's time to grow up and to get serious about the future. Apart from Brett. Whenever Sarah brings up their future, the subject is always avoided. So what's going on with Brett? Can Sarah figur...

DISCLAIMER: This post is in no way me bragging about what I got. Instead, I'm showing how awesome my friends and family are and how grateful I am! I am so grateful for all of the presents that I got this year! They were all amazing!   This was given to me by an auntie. As I'm beginning to slowly experiment with make-up, I found this really useful! Here's what is inside it:  (Lip... stuff)  (Eye shadow) I love these all so much! Especially the nail varnishes! This is a shower gel and bath bomb set from one of my best friends, and I love it so much! I love the fact that the bottle of shower gel looks like champagne and it just looks beautiful. I used a bath bomb yesterday and after it fizzes out, it leaves little traces of glitter in the bath, which is beautiful! I got this notepad and pen from my best friend Lilly. If you can't see it properly, it says: 'Friends are like flowers, they brighte...
