CHRISTMAS TAG

What's your favorite thing about Christmas?
I absolutely adore the build up to it, when there are Christmas songs on in all the shops, decorations everywhere and kids lining up to meet Santa, it's just so lovely. I'm really trying to make the most of the build up to Christmas this year as in past years the child in me has just wanted it to be the big day and wished away all the lovely Christmas shopping period! I love going shopping and stopping for hot chocolate, going to see the Christmas lights, just all of it!
My favourite thing about Christmas day itself is definitely being with the people I love the most and giving presents. This year I'll be with my Parents, my sister, my boyfriend and my Grandparents, it's going to be fab!

What's your favorite makeup look for the season?
I don't always do my make up differently for Christmas, but I love to wear a smokey eye or glittery eyeshadow! I don't really wear much if any eyeshadow on a daily basis so it's nice to do it differently for special occasions. I might try to do some Holiday make up looks on here this year so let me know if you're interested in that!

Real tree or fake tree?
I love real trees a lot, they smell so lovely and christmassy but I don't think I'd ever want one, they're just so messy! We have a fake tree I decorate it with my Mum every year, I'll definitely post a picture of it when we've done it! Here's a peek from our tree last year!

Giving presents or receiving presents?
Giving! I love receiving presents, I mean who doesn't, right? ;) But there's nothing quite like seeing someone really pleased with a gift you spent time picking out for them, I love making other people happy.

Do you open your presents Christmas morning or evening?
Morning! We all get ready and wait for any guests to arrive first, then have breakfast (Champagne optional!) and then open presents.

Handmade Christmas cards or bought?
I love handmade cards a lot and as much as I'd love to make them myself I never get the time! I always tell myself I'll do lovely little diy cards and gifts and always run out of time.

What's your favorite Christmas movie?
I love Elf (duh), Four Christmases and Home Alone, but I think The Holiday is my all time favourite. I also love all the Christmas Simpsons episodes!

圣诞节你最喜欢什么食物?
I'm not really sure, my Mum does a lovely Christmas dinner but I'm not sure I have a favourite food, I'm kind of boring in that way!

Hope you enjoyed this tag, definitely let me know if you do it!

LIFE LATELY

ducks swimming in/ drinking from a puddle - sort of ombre hair - santa's grotto in town
fave christmas yankee candle - shellac polishes - starbucks toffee nut latte mm!
penguins - reindeers - christmas lights

Life has been getting rather festive lately and I for one am absolutely loving it! I cannot understand people who claim to hate Christmas. It's stressful and hard on our bank accounts but that's all part of the fun isn't it? Who doesn't love festive songs and sparkly lights everywhere?
How funny are the ducks drinking out of a puddle in my local town? They have huge ponds where our local shops are, but as soon as it rains, the ducks swim in the puddles. I don't know, it amused me!
I also ombred my hair slightly, I dyed it a darker blonde on top though it's faded to almost nothing now, touch ups will be required asap.
I trained in Shellac nails and bought a few polishes for my kit, honestly if you've never had shellac before I'd totally recommend it, beautiful nails that actuallylast.Perfect for the Christmas season! And if by any chance, you know me and you're reading this, I'm offering shellac nails for £15 as a Seasonal offer until January so let me know if you're interested ;) (shameless, I know.)
How sweet are the penguins and reindeer? Yesterday, Darren and I went to the Christmas light switch on in town and they had penguins and reindeer in the town, it was so lovely. Lots of cheesy local bands and dance groups but that's all part of the fun really. Arg and Gemma from TOWIE were in town too, oh the perks (ahem..) of living in Essex eh?

What have you been up to lately?
