Bria Lou Reviews

This is just a quick message. I just want to say a massive Merry Christmas to everyone reading! To all of my followers, regular readers and anyone just coming onto my website by chance. There's not really a lot that I want to say, but I hope that you all have an amazing day whether you celebrate Christmas or not. Eat lots of food, see your family, watch Christmas films, sing carols and spend the day doing whatever the hell you want! Christmas is the only time of year when everyone accepts that nothing is going to get done. Revision is not happening, neither is any work. Enjoy your day off. Play games, be merry and have fun, because we only have Christmas once a year and it's our duty to have as much fun as possible! You can view all 24 Blogmas posts by clicking right here ! So again, from me, Merry Christmas. I hope you all get everything you want (Or at least enough money to buy whatever you didn't get!) Love, Lou xx

I know that most Blogmas' end tomorrow, and I will be posting tomorrow. However, as tomorrow will obviously be a 'Merry Christmas' post, I will not have a chance to talk about blogmas, so I want to do this now. I have been blogging for 8 months (on Boxing Day), and one of the most exciting things that I have done with this blog is blogmas. Committing to blogging every day is tough, and I have to admit that at times it's been really hard. Either I had no idea what to post, or I was really tired and didn't want to post anything. But I did post. Every day. And to be honest, I am really proud that I have managed to post for this long without having a break, and I've had so much fun doing it! I have been reading so many other Blogmas posts, especially those of the girls in the Beau Bloggers community, and I've really enjoyed sharing tags and getting post ideas, it's made  Blogmas really fun! I've also accumulated a few more followers since ...

I saw this tag on Chloe's ( Professional Daydreamer ) blog yesterday, so of course I was going to do it! It's Christmas Eve tomorrow! This not only means that Christmas is 2 days away, but also the end of Blogmas :( I think, although I will probably post on Christmas day, tomorrow  may be the last Blogmas post, but more about that in tomorrow's post! Let's get on with the tag! Favourite thing about winter?   The weather. I love the snow and rain a lot, which may seem really weird, but I like the cold temperature. Scarves or beanies? Scarves, I'm not really a hat person to be honest! Favourite holiday movie? It changes every few days, but right now, Elf! Favourite nail polish? Right now, Fairytale by Tanya Burr. I haven't tried it yet but I think the colour is gorgeous! Name one item on your wish list this year Girl Online - Zoe Sugg. I know that there has been a lot of controversy surrounding the book and whether or not Zoe used a ghost...

I have been watching YouTubers so much this past month, and there are so many videos that have really managed to get me in a festive mood. So I thought I'd show you some of the videos that got me excited, as Christmas is in 3 days! Zoella and Tanya Burr did a Christmas Song Challenge, and hearing the songs and trying to work the songs out alongside them really got me in the mood for Christmas! Niomi (who, this week, hit 1 million subscribers!) made a video making Christmas decorations to put on her tree, and they were so beautiful that they just made me feel really festive and ready for Christmas! Louise (Sprinkle of Glitter) took her daughter Darcy to see Christmas lights, and watching the video just made me really happy. It was really nice watching Darcy see the lights and it made me want to go and see some lights too! This is a video from last year, where Carrie Hope Fletcher and 2 friends (one of which is Jack Howard!) play chubby bunny with Brussels sprouts. ...

I am not a vegan, I eat meat. However, there isn't any meat in desserts. Because I'm allergic to milk, I thought that the best way to eat desserts and not be ill is to try some vegan deserts. I know that some of you aren't vegans, but even so, you can try some of these desserts, or just substitute milk versions. I've scouted the internet and found 3 of my favourite looking vegan desserts in time for Christmas! I haven't tried any of them, but as Christmas is only 4 days away, I really want to make at least one of them over the Christmas period. Chocolate Chip Mini-Loaves Ingredients: 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/3 cup natural granulated sugar 1 cup applesauce 2 tablespoons safflower or other neutral vegetable oil 2 tablespoons unsweetened non-dairy milk, or as needed 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 ripe pear, any variety, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch ...

Of course, all presents have sentimental value, and it's the thought that counts. Nevertheless, we have all had those times when we have to pretend to be really excited about a present that we absolutely hate. So I came up with a few different ways to react when we receive one of these horrible presents. I hope you enjoy my responses! The 'Oh Wow' response This is the one where you pretend that what you have just opened is the best present you've ever received and that you will never a present this amazing for the net 325 years. Cue wide eyes and a mouth that cannot shut. I think this is the reaction that is most appreciated by whoever gave you the present, but it's also the least realistic reaction and your relatives may not even believe it in the first place. The 'Thank You' response This is the response that's the easiest to do. You literally just keep repeating 'thank you' over and over again. It tells your relative that you a...

I'm just going to be straight with you guys. I'm writing this the night before because I'm going to be really busy tomorrow (Christmas shopping and doctors), but I just don't feel on point at all. I have a sore throat and I just feel generally unwell, so this post is going to be nowhere near as good as any of the other Blogmas posts so far this month. This is going to be another picture post, via google. I love winter a lot (despite being ill) so I thought I would show you some of my favourite things about winter in picture form. Again, sorry that this isn't as good as my usual posts.             Comment what your favourite picture is.   I promise that tomorrow will not be a picture post!   Sorry again. I'm really not feeling well at the moment, but I hope you still enjoyed looking at these pictures!   It's 6 days Until Christmas!   Come back tomorrow for Blogmas Day 20!
