What I Got For Christmas// And Everything In Between.

"I'M BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCKKKKK!!!!"

Seriously... The last time that I wrote a post on here was in October!! 

I am so sorry that it's been so long, I have literally had no time what-so-ever. I have been either working, cleaning out animals or sleeping! My life is so fun, I know! :) 

Just a little low down of things that have happened whilst I have been away.

Brace yourselves...

Halloween - I didn't go out because I couldn't be bothered to, but I did dress up at home (as you do) and made myself into a evil little creature. RAAAAAAAAAAARRRRR!!!

One of my beloved hamsters Keiko passed away (suddenly I may add) I was and still am really upset about it she was over two & half years old. 

R.I.P 

Bonfire Night - This is when you know Christmas is on its way!! I love Bonfire night and I love taking photos. 

And then we are into December and Christmas has come and gone so quickly. Sadly my other hamster Darla(Keiko's sister) had to be put to sleep after I noticed some symptoms that ended up making her poorly and to lose the use of her back legs. :( It was the hardest decision I have ever had to make as she was well in herself but no longer had a good quality of life. Darla and Keeks were the best hamsters in the world. I miss them dearly, especially as this was my first Christmas for 2 years without them. :(

R.I.P 

So these were the main events that happened since I last posted something. 

I have done a lot of shopping :) which of course is my favourite thing to do and over the Christmas period, I spent A LOT of money on presents and food. But who cares?! It happens once a year, so why not indulge, right? 

I hope everyone had an awesome Christmas and got everything that they wanted?! 

Christmas seems to creep up so quickly these days, I don't know whether it is because I am no longer a child and so busy leading up to it, or the fact I get so excited about it in like October/November the novelty wears off by the time it comes?

Who knows?!

I am so sad it's over though, I get soooooo excited and I am literally like the Christmas Fairy, me. I love all the decorations, the films, the music, the smells, the food and being with family and friends. And soon we will be into January, I am not a big fan of the New Year as I have to wait a whole year for Christmas again and it SUCKS!! 

Christmas junkie right here!! :)  

So now for the good stuff... What I got for Christmas. 

As per...

*Disclaimer* This is not a bragging post it is just a haul of gifts in which I received on Christmas Day. I love seeing what other people have got at Christmas and their birthday's so do not see this post other than a bit of fun. :)

WHAT I GOT FOR CHRISTMAS!!!


I was very spoilt this Christmas.
Well I am every year!
I don't tend to have a 'main' present but lots of little presents as there are lots of things that I am in to. 
Below are the pictures of what I got. I also got some weights but they were too big to put in the picture. 

Again, I am not bragging just showing you what I have had. Let me know what you guys have got too as I would love to know!!

My brother got me the Sensationail Deluxe Gel Nail Kit which I was SUPER excited about as I have wanted it for ages. I am yet to use it but so excited to do so!!! I love everything I got and I also got some vouchers and money off my Aunties and Uncles and my lovely little Nan :) I loved my Makeup Revolution Palettes too and my baby blue bag!! 

I got my first EVER M.A.C product which is the Matte Lipstick in 'Ruby Woo'. I was so excited when I got this and it was hidden all wrapped up on the Christmas Tree. I thought that was a nice little touch!! 

I got lots of sweets and chocolate too which is great as I love my sugar me!! My stocking was filled with cool little things. I love a stocking. 

This is what I wore Christmas Day. Good old disco pants and the OTT Christmas Jumper. Mine sings btw! :) 

I bought this sterling silver ring for myself as I am starting to collect them as I am sick of my fingers going green from the cheap ones. I fell in love with the blue and got it from a little shop in Debenhams. :) 


I didn't take any pictures of our meal because, one I really don't like roast dinners so I literally had the most pathetic amount on my plate. It wasn't worth documenting. And two... The day went real quick and I completely forgot to take any more pictures. 


BOXING DAY.


I don't usually go out on Boxing Day as usually we have family over, but because my mum has had this flu thing (which I do NOT want by the way)we didn't want to risk anyone else getting it. 

So, me and brother Hutt went out into Worcester and hit the sales. 

Let me just add... The sales were APPALLING!!! It was like everyone had demolished the shelves as if the world were ending. A LOT of the things I wanted to get had sold out. I wanted the No7 Rose Gold tinned eyeshadow palette and I cannot get that anywhere. A Duster Coat which had sold out too and the Real Techniques Eye Brush Set. 

ALL GONE. GRRR.

I managed to pick this lot up though. :) 

I bought some very warm and comfy PJ's from Primarni which I have had my eye on but I need to take the top back as it doesn't fit right. Also I bought, a black fluffy cardi which is super soft and I love it, The Heat DVD as I really liked that film, The Hunger Games & Catching Fire DVD set as I have never watched it but Gabby (VelvetGh0st) has raved about it so I thought I would give it a watch. I got a couple of sterling silver rings in the Accessorize sale, some makeup and hair stuff and some nail stuff to go with my kit. 

A River Island Purse (not in sale) 

Ear Cuffs (not in sale) 

A light pink version of my black cardi.

New Look Bag. I thought this was full price at £29 but when I got it to the till it came up as £17. Score. 

And finally, some more stuff my my Sensationail kit. 


All in all I did pretty well for Christmas with both presents and what I bought myself. 

Totally spoilt. 

Some people got Apple Mac's or DSLR's which I would of LOVED to have got but I am SO happy with everything I received off the people I love. It's not about what is spent on you but the effort and thought behind it all. And most importantly Christmas isn't all about presents and food but what Christmas really represents and the beauty of having your loved one's around you. 

Some people aren't lucky enough to even have that. 

Again I hope y'all had an amazing time no matter what you did and I would like to wish you a Happy New Year!!! 

Thanks to all of you who have read my blog or subscribed and continued to look at my blog even though I haven't posted for a while.  

  I am really grateful. 

Peace & Love for 2015

Christmas Haul // Holiday's are coming!!!

It's 66 days, 10 hours and 30 minutes until CHRISTMAS!!!

(At the time of writing this) 

I am SO excited!!!!

If you have been reading my other posts' you will probably notice I mention Christmas A LOT. I get so excited you would actually think I was a child and not 27!! I just love the atmosphere. People seem a lot more happier, the Christmas lights when you are walking down a street just makes everything magical. And for someone who really dislikes the cold, I love to be outside all wrapped up buying presents for my family and friends. 

It's the best time!! Period. 

Recently, whilst I have been out shopping I have been picking up some Christmas related items, mostly for my bedroom but a couple for myself. 

One thing I did buy yesterday actually, won't be featured on this post as I have to take it back to the shop to be exchanged for something else. Those would be Pyjama's. I bought some red and white 'legging' style PJ's with Reindeers on and they were massive on me and I decided I didn't like them.

But here are some of the things I have been collecting. 

Primark Battery Lights.

£3

I love these little battery lights. I already have some butterfly shaped one's and these are star's, I thought these would be perfect in my room at Christmas draped around my bed. Nice & cosy.

B & M Christmas Mug

£1.99

Everyone need's a Christmas mug in their lives. 

Well I do anyway.

This is going to be perfect when I come home from work on a cold evening, and stick some hot chocolate, squirty cream and marshmallows' in it. 

Sorted. 

B & M Heart Mug

£1.99

This isn't exactly 'Christmas' themed this mug but it did kind of remind me of it. I think it's the colours. I bought this mug for work to have my hot chocolate in. 

I don't even drink a lot of hot drinks, yet I love buying mugs. 

Weirdo :) 

B & M Cushion

£4.99

  

I LOVE this cushion!! I have been looking for one of these for ages. A pillow that will go with the colour scheme of my room and one that screams the festive season. 

It's really pretty and a fairly good size. I think it is really Christmasy too. I am planning on getting some more. 

Primark Christmas Jumper

£12

How cute is this jumper?!

 I bought this because I have a Christmas jumper day at work on the 12th December and I also love the fact that if you press a button, the jumper start's playing 'Jingle Bells' (I think that's what it was). 

Teamed with my blue coat and knitted hat I think this is the perfect Christmas look if you are out Christmas shopping. 

♥

B & M Wall Hanging Decoration

£0.99

This is super cute! 

I want it to be December so I can hang this up by my bed!!!

B & M Christmas Candle Set.

£1.99

I think these are going to look really pretty around my room. I literally love candles at the moment, I don't know what these smell of but if they smell nasty then I will swap the candles over with my Yankee's.

B & M 'Merry Christmas' Sign.

£1.99

This is awesome. It stands out so much against my wall!!!

The glitter goes everywhere though, but who doesn't love a bit of glitter at that time of year?! 

♥

New Look Backpack. 

£24.99

I have been carrying this around with me everywhere. This backpack is perfect for the winter months, it keeps your arms free for when you have all those shopping bags hanging off them. 

I love the muted colours too, so it goes with practically everything. The gold hardware adds sophistication and makes it look more expensive than it really is. 

A must have this winter. 

I did have some other little bits like some socks and candles but I didn't think you'd be all that interested in those. Slowly but surely though I am building on my 'Christmas' collection and when I get paid I am sure I will be buying some more. 

I hope you are as excited about Christmas as I am and I would love to see other Christmas related posts!!! Link me in if you have written one. :)
