How I Plan My Blog





A lot of people may say blogging is easy, you just do it when you  get bored and sit down at your computer some days, think on the spot and write. Now, some people may do that, and there's nothing wrong with it! But, I like to plan out as I love planning and being organised as I stress out if I don't know what I'm going to write about.

My Favourite Christmas Movies | Blogmas | Day Eleven

I work right up until the 23rd of December and even though work go all out with Christmas I never seem to feel in that Christmas mood, as all I have on my mind is work! So what I usually like to do during the week or so before Christmas is to watch my favourite Christmas movies! I throw on my onesie, grab a hot chocolate with marshmallows and cream, and grab a good old fashion Christmas movie to get me into the spirit! 


So, here are my top 5 Christmas movies I can't not watch throughout December!

The Holiday | This might have to be my favourite movie of all time, and no that's not because Jude Law is in it.. well, maybe! But aside from that, it's such a winter warmer, filled with laughs and all the emotions on the run up to Christmas! It brings people together in all sorts of ways and is just such a feel good film! 


Elf | Without a doubt one of the funniest films I've watched! It's about Buddy the elf having to adjust to life outside the North Pole, and the hilarity along the way! Really is a feel good, family film! 





Love Actually | With such a fantastic cast I knew this film would be a popular Christmas movie! This is a film with a lot of different stories, but each story has a link to one another. I love films that bring people together and this is definitely one of them. 




Home Alone | This really doesn't need a introduction as this is without a doubt played every year at Christmas time on TV. It's about a little boy who's left home alone and he gets up to mischief. I don't want to write too much as if you've not watched it, I'd definitely give it a watch. 




Matchmaker Santa | This was a film I came across one day while I was watching TV with my Mum. She always finds the cheesy Christmas films which is about love and finding mr right and this is one of these films. You always need to watch one cheesy film at Christmas and I'd definitely recommend this.

My Christmas Playlist | Blogmas | Day 7

This is my favourite time of year, Christmas trees are up, Christmas movies become part of your night time routine and you get excited when your favourite Christmas advert comes on. It's acceptable to dress down at work and wear whatever hilarious or cute Christmas jumpers you want and everyone seems to be in such a happier mood. It's the end of the year and it's starting to get into party season! So other than all of those listed from above I've mentioned, I also love to listen to my Christmas playlist! So I got straight onto Spotify to share with you guys what songs get me into the Christmas spirit! Enjoy!

My Favourite Christmas Jumpers I've Seen Online | Blogmas | Day 6

The past few weeks I've been searching high and low for the perfect Christmas jumpers for work. I love wearing Christmas jumpers, and it gets me right into the Christmas spirit! So, here are my top 6 Christmas jumpers I've found online. 



Gingerbread Christmas Sweater | Next | £22 - £26 | I actually received this jumper earlier on this week and I absolutely love it! I love the sequins on their Christmas hats, as it gives it that little bit of sparkle. 

Penguin Christmas Jumper | Next | £20 | This is a jumper I've ordered and excited to receive! I love penguins, so this jumper was a must have for me! It's also one of the cheapest Christmas jumpers I've found too. 

Paperchase Make Your Own Christmas Jumper | Asos | £15 | I must admit I got a little excited when I found this as I've never seen anything like it before! In this pack you get, a red jumper, baubles, bells, cotton wool, pipe cleaners, bows and some snowflake sequins! You could definitely add on more though! This would be a great gift too.

Reindeer Christmas Jumper | Boohoo | £15 | This is quite a simple Christmas jumper but I really like it. You can get this jumper in red or black, but I'd definitely choose the red option. 

Reindeer Flashing Lights Jumper | Tesco | £20 | I've searched everywhere for a light up Christmas jumper and I've finally found one! This is such a cute jumper and I really hope they have some left so I can purchase one! 

Fur Jumper | Lipsy | £38 | A little on the expensive side, but how cosy does this look!? I don't think I'd ever take this off if I had it! I mean, look at that hood!

Stocking Filler Guide | Blogmas | Day 5

Searching through my stocking on Christmas morning is one of the first things I do! I love all the small but thoughtful gifts I receive, especially the funny ones! So here are my top 9 stocking fillers! 



Monks Christmas Pug Socks | Asos | £5.00 | I love these, and I LOVE pugs! These socks are just so adorable, and you can't really go wrong with receiving socks at Christmas time.


Glastonberry Lipstick | Charlotte Tilbury | £23 | A little bit on the expensive side for a lipstick but you really can't go wrong with Charlotte Tilbury's range! I love this purple shade, especially for winter! 


Cracker Gift Set | Yankee Candle | £5.59 | You get 3 small candles inside this cracker, Sparkling Cinnamon, Sparkling Snow and Snowflake Cookie. This is a great gift for anyone who loves candles! 


Selfy Stick | John Lewis | £14.99 | Selfy Sticks have been very in this year, so why not add this into someones stocking this year! You'll be surprised at how handy they actually are! 


Pickmaster Plectrum Punch |IWantOneOfThose.com | £16.99 | For the musicians in your life, this is a quirky gift for them! You can make a plectrum out of any plastic you have! 


Fetch My Keys - Key Finder | IWantOneOfThose.com | £6.99 | This is something I definitely need to add to my list! I am so bad for losing my car keys, and if you know anyone who's the same then this is a great stocking filler for them! All you do is whistle for your keys and an alarm goes off! How clever is that!?


Zoella Bath Fizzers | Superdrug | £9.00 | The packaging on this product is gorgeous! I love the jar with pink bow and the rose gold wrapping around the bath fizzers! If I had a bath in my home I'd definitely be purchasing these! 


One Line a Day : Five Year Memory Book | Urban Outfitters | £11.99 | I love this idea of writing a few lines a day on each date for five years! You can go back and see what you done this time last year, it's such a simple but fantastic gift.


Chocolate Coins | Lakeland | £1.98 | I never go a year without having some sort of sweets or chocolate in my stocking! It's one of the only times of year that you can stuff your face with all the Christmas chocolate at silly times in the morning!

How I Decorate My Bedroom At Christmas Time | Blogmas | Day 4

Christmas is my favourite time of year, and as well as decorating our living room, I also love to decorate my bedroom! So here is how I've decorated my bedroom! I Hope this gives you some inspiration and ideas!





As you can see I've not added tinsel to my tree, instead I added some silver and pink beads which i've never actually used for a tree before but I really like it! Also, there are pink and silver glittery baubles and even some love heart ones too, which I absolutely love!

As my tree is only 3ft tall, I feel like tinsel would drown it out so I've added some small rose gold type tinsel around my bed frame which i've wrapped around my fairy lights for a festive touch. 

Fairy lights. So. Many. Fairy Lights! I just love them! I used battery powered lights for around the top and bottom of my bed frame and also around my curtain pole! I've also added some around my  dresser for a cute touch, but unfortunately I haven't added a photo of that as I forgot to buy more batteries.. silly me!

All the products in these photos are from Homebase apart from my christmas tree which is from Tesco. This all cost around about £24 (excluding my fairy lights around my bed which I received as gifts ) which I think is a pretty great price for the amount of products I purchased!

1. Ted Baker Wallet & Cardholder | Asos | £60 | Every man needs some fancy leather goods in his life and I absolutely adore Ted Baker! Everything is fantastic quality and the black and grey really compliment each other in this product! 

2. BB-8 | Firebox | £129.99 | For all the Star Wars fans out there, this is the product for you! My boyfriend is itching to get his hands on this and I can understand why! You can control the BB-8 with your smartphone, tablet and voice and even has a personality. How crazy is that!?

3. Red Check Shirt | River Island | £28.00 | Checked shirts have been very in this year for males and females! This checked shirt especially drew my attention, with the red and green shades. 

4. Hugo Boss Night | Superdrug | £41 | This is my favourite aftershave for men and I love when my boyfriend wears this! You can't really go wrong with Hugo Boss so if you have a chance go into Superdrug/Boots and try this out!
