Where Are You Christmas?

Image
It's finally December which means it's going to be non-stop Christmas on radio, TV and online. Even out on the streets, you'll see Christmas lights everywhere. You may find your neighbours have gone to town with those lights and you haven't even put any decorations up yet. If so then you are just like me. In our household, we haven't even considered putting the decorations up yet. Probably will do when we have a free moment but it is a lot of effort to get the tree and the decorations. Realising you still have wrapping paper and Christmas cards from last year you could have reused instead of buying new wrapping paper. Although once it's done, it is all nice and cosy in your house but it still is effort. You need a good solid few hours in your day to do it all.  It brings me onto how I've been feeling about Christmas. Of course, I'm excited and nearly finished my Christmas shopping. I have one more person to buy for actually then I'm done. Actually tw...

This month of December I’ve decided to do Blogmas where I post everyday for twenty five days right up until Christmas. I decided to do this as I wanted to give back to all my readers who have read and supported my blog especially this year. It truly means a lot and I thought I’d give back by treating you to posting everyday for twenty five days which means twenty five days of content. From beauty to Christmas to experiences this month. There’s going to be something for everyone.  As for what I have planned for this month, obviously the biggy is that it’s the month of Christmas which means movies, shopping, decorating and feel good times. I’m also excited because this is actually going to be the first Christmas where I am not single which is exciting. Not entirely sure what we’re going to be doing but I’m looking forward to it all and just making memories.  It’s the final month of 2025 and I want to go out with a bang so this month is going to be a very exciting month and I’m g...

November Favourites

It's that time of the month where I share all the things I've been loving this month. Weirdly enough, it has a very similiar theme this month which will become very obvious to you. Let's get started. Harry Potter and Prisoner Of Azkaban PS2 One of my favourite Harry Potter games to play. I always love going back to playing on my PS2 and playing classic games. One of my all time favourite Harry Potter games is Prisoner of Azkaban on the PS2. I just find it cool that you get to play as all three characters and they all have a part to play in the storyline. They learn different spells each but also have a different set of skills. Harry is agile and can jump and climb. Hermione is smaller and can crawl into small spaces but also learns the majority of the spells which are fitting for the character. Ron has the Weasley touch which means he can open secret passages and search bookcases. This skill also confused me but then realised maybe it’s in relation to the fact his brothers ...

Is it too early for Christmas?

Image
The month of November is a weird month. Halloween has just finished and now Christmas is the next big event in the calendar for a lot of people. I know there's also other celebrations in parts of the world that come next. Like for the UK today it's Bonfire Night where we celebrate a man who tried to blow up Parliament with fireworks. Of course, for many it's just going to watch a firework display and less about the history of the day. In fact I'm going to a firework display in my home town tonight. Another celebration that comes before Christmas from our friends across the pond is Thanksgiving. I'm sure there are other celebrations that may come before Christmas in other countries but those are the only two I can think of off the top of my head.  Yet it begs the question, is it too early to think about Christmas? Obviously in the shops, it's never too early as a lot of them have had Christmas stock since September. Yet now with Halloween over, it seems to be ful...

November

We've finally arrived at the penultimate month of the year. Only two more months left of 2025 and it's been a very unexpected year for me.  I got my first car and I unexpectedly fell in love this year. Kind of surprising for me as these were two of the most unexpected things to happen to me and yet they did this year. It's a nice surprise to say the least.  This month though, I don't really have much going on. Of course there's bonfire night and I'm planning on seeing some fireworks in the town. Another thing that is happening is I'm going to Manchester next weekend to do a bit of shopping and see my brother. Other than that, not a lot else is going on. Although I'm planning on seeing my boyfriend and we're quite a spontaneous couple where we sometimes come up with spontaneous ideas and do it. Last weekend, I went shopping in Swansea with him. The weekend before that we went to Folly Farm together. All of these were very last minute and spontaneous p...

October Favourites

Happy Halloween! It's Halloween which means it's the last day of October and so it's time to share everything I've been loving this month. Let's get started. Monster: The Ed Gein Story Yes, I watched it. I was having a long debate about whether to watch this or not as it’s not my usual cup of tea. I’m not a big fan of horror stuff, yet I watch true crime documentaries and videos to learn more about different cases. I’d never actually heard of this case until it was released. I watched a video and read about it before I went into it just to know what I was letting myself in for. Of course the algorithm online started recommending posts on the series and people saying that it’s good or it’s bad. I knew then that I had to see it for myself. Of course going into dramatised shows of cases it’s never going to be fully accurate. We’ll never fully know what happened in the Gein household and of course there’s a lot of speculation about some of the crimes he did commit. Of c...

Date Ideas

Going on dates is fun but sometimes it's hard to think of new dates and ideas on where to go. Sometimes you don't want to do the same old, same old dates so I thought I'd share some suggestions of date ideas you can do with either your partner, friend or even on your own if you're brave enough. Let's get started. Cinema Date I actually went on my first cinema date a few weeks ago and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I always love any chance of going to the cinema and I'm used to doing it either by myself or with my mum usually. This time though I got to experience it with my boyfriend which was nice. We spent the majority of it holding hands and eating popcorn. It's just a fun way to spend time together, obviously you don't do much talking but it's fun to experience a movie together. It's a good movie too, it makes it all better. I highly recommend going on a cinema date. Dinner Date I'm not talking about going to a fancy restaurant together for dinn...
