Christmas Excitement


It's officially December so the Christmas excitement can begin. I always try to get excited in the middle of November but to me it just doesn't feel like Christmas yet. The moment I feel ready to get excited for Christmas is the moment I open the first door on my chocolate advent calendar because that's the start of the countdown for Christmas.

However, I have done my Christmas shopping early and finished it before December. Which is a first for me but one night I had a surge of inspiration to plan out Christmas presents. The reason is because there's always one person that you struggle to get for because you're not sure what they want or need or even what they like. For me that was my big brother so I did a google search of gifts then a brilliant idea came to mind for what to get him. Unfortunately I can't tell you in case he reads this but honestly you can find some great gift ideas looking online or even just looking around in the shops. There's so many gift ideas out there you just need to find the right one for the right person.

Anyway after finding out a gift idea for my brother it just made me want to plan out everyone's gifts and I only have about seven people to get for so that made it slightly easier. Before I knew it I had finished my Christmas shopping and they are wrapped up. Something I decided to do this year was something I saw on Facebook and instead of using Christmas wrapping paper I decided to use recycled brown paper. because it's recyclable so it helps with the environment. Plus it looks pretty especially when you add ribbons. Below is the picture of my wrapped gifts and they're not perfect (mostly because I can't tie a pretty ribbon) but I actually love how they look. I highly recommend it because once they're under the tree they'll look so pretty,


Another thing is that gifts don't have to be expensive. I don't know why overboard with spending so much on presents. There's some pretty nice gifts for reasonable prices. It's the thought that counts not the price.

If someone bought me a bag of M&M's or a bar of original Dairy Milk then I would be so happy because they are my favourite chocolates. Sometimes it's the little gifts people appreciate rather than the price of them.

Anyway, that's all I have to say about Christmas. I hope you enjoyed this post and expect some more Christmas related posts soon.

Let me know what makes you excited for Christmas or whatever holiday you celebrate this time of year. I would love to know.

I'll be back again soon with another post.

See you then.

My Future Plans

Image
Planning for the future is probably one of the most scariest things. Especially when you have an end goal but have no idea how to achieve that goal. Of course many things can go wrong and you're kind of terrified to take that risk. That's how I'm feeling right now. I have the whole Christmas and New Year off which is essentially going to be spent planning what I'm going to do next. I want to move out of my mum's house by February. I want to get a job or an internship which is relevant to my degree. As you can probably tell, these are some major changes for me and I'm terrified but also kind of excited. I'm itching to start planning and I have spent several hours looking at flats to rents these past few months. Soon though it's all going to be real. I know it's going to be scary and I probably have no idea what I'm doing but at the same time, I can't wait for it all to happen. Life is about taking chances after all and sooner or later I

30 Things To Do Before I'm 30

Image
I thought I would do one of those posts where I talk about things I want to do in the future and why not do a 30 things I want do before I'm 30 so I have about nine years to achieve these thirty goals for myself. It's also something I could look back on when I am thirty years old to see if I actually have achieved any of these things. Hopefully I will but we'll have to wait and see in nine years time. 1. Get my degree Now this is probably an obvious one as I'm in my third year of university but honestly after two years of doing university it would be nice if next year I could have a degree. I also thought I'd start this list with something I could definitely achieve (fingers crossed) before I'm thirty years old. 2. Visit Harry Potter Studio Tour/Harry Potter World/Both As I am a massive Harry Potter fan I would actually like to visit the studio tours in London or visit Harry Potter world in Walt Disney World because they look absolutely amazing and wo

Chapter Two

Image
The end of the longest month of the year to enter the shortest month of the year, except it's a leap year so instead of twenty eight days, we have twenty nine days. How exciting.  I've had an interesting first month of the year. I booked a once in a lifetime trip to Las Vegas and I'm also planning on booking a holiday to Ireland which is very exciting as I've never been to Ireland before. I think this year is going to be full of adventures so I'm looking forward to what this year will bring. It's getting me motivated to start living a healthier lifestyle though. Eating less and moving more.  I'm also still saving up on top of all the holidays, I hope to buy a car this year. I'm not sure what I'm planning on doing this February. I know there's Valentine's Day which as a single person is a day I detest, although I'm going to make plans and celebrate my single hood. Then of course there's pancake day which is always a treat. There's
