Blogmas Is Here!


For the first time ever, I thought I'd do Blogmas where I post a blog post everyday up until Christmas. I thought it would be a fun idea as I do love this time of year and have 24 blog posts in store for you guys. These include gift guides, Christmas favourites, my very own Christmas movie ranking. I also have some beauty favourites as well as my winter morning and evening routines. So get excited because I have a lot in store for you this December.

Be sure to come back to this blog everyday in the run up to Christmas for a new post from me.

I thought I'd kick off this first post of Blogmas with all the things I love about this time of the year.

1 Christmas Movies

 We all have a favourite Christmas movie. You can't deny it. There's always one we'd happily watch this time of year. It just makes us feel happy and will always get you in the mood for Christmas. There's even enough Christmas movies to watch every day up until Christmas. Why not give it a try this evening?

2. Christmas Markets

 I don't think I've ever been to a Christmas market until this year. A week ago I went to the Manchester Christmas Market and it was great. I had mulled wine and hot chocolate. I even got to keep my own festive mug. Honestly I'd recommend going to a Christmas market. Just going around the stalls is nice because the displays are always so pretty and you see things you've probably never even thought of so it's a great place to go to get ideas for Christmas presents.

3. Christmas Decorations

Another thing I absolutely love about Christmas is being able to decorate your home for Christmas. Honestly it just makes you feel so much happier when you come home from work and you can switch the fairy lights on the tree and light some Christmas candles. It feels great and makes your home so much more cosier. Even getting some Christmas bedding can make a difference to your home.

4. Going out to see the Christmas lights

Not only is seeing your house decorated for Christmas a great feeling but going out to see the neighbours Christmas lights and seeing your town decorated for Christmas is also a wonderful time. It gives you a great excuse to go for a walk or a nighttime drive just to see the decorated houses. It all feels so magical.

5. Christmas music

Making a Christmas playlist is great fun this time of year because you can fill it with all your favourite Christmas songs and you're also prepared for any Christmas parties or even if you have a long drive to visit family. It's great having a whole playlist of songs to get you in the Christmas spirit.

6. Food and drink

Christmas is definitely the time to try new things. Coffee shops have festive drinks on for you to try and cafes have Christmas food as well. It is certainly a time to treat yourself. After all it's nearly the end of the year so you may as well treat yourself to a mince pie or a special hot chocolate. Also more party food is out in the shops so you can enjoy it alone or with family and friends. Whether it's food or drink, there's always something for you to enjoy.

7. Spending time with family

 Believe me when I say family comes in all shapes and sizes. Christmas is a great time to spend the ones we care about. It's a great excuse to visit parents, grandparents, our cousins, aunts, uncles. Even your siblings. Even if it's with your friends. Whatever your family traditions are, just make sure you're happy and having a good time.

Anyway, that's my list of things I love about Christmas. I'm sure there are many more but I didn't want this list to go on forever.

As I said before, I am doing Blogmas so I'll be posting everyday up until Christmas so be sure to come back here everyday for a new post from me.

Thank you for reading and I'll be back again tomorrow

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
