What I Got For Christmas 2015.

So I've had a few weeks off now and I'm back to start the New Year off with What I Got For Christmas! I am SO grateful every gift I received this year, so here is what I got.


I got these gorgeous gifts of my best friend, Louise! She's honestly put so much thought into these and knows me far too well! I use this notebook she bought me for my blog notes, and use these lip products on a daily basis! Lastly, she made me this K. How cute is that!? I can't wait to put this on my desk when I get my own place, it's absolutely perfect!

 My boyfriend, Colin bought me Little Mix perfume which is my favourite go to scent at the moment and everything Zoella! We were on a budget this year as we are moving away so I literally told him "everything Zoella" really not thinking that he would actually get me almost everything from her range! He really didn't disappoint and I'm absolutely loving the rose gold make up bag!

My best friend, Emily bought me the Animal Kingdom colouring in book by Millie Marotta. I was so excited when I received this as I've said for months I was going to buy one to relax me. I've not put this down since I've got this, and I can't wait to buy more!

My Aunties & Uncles bought me a great selection of random gifts this year! I didn't take photos of them all as I have used most of them and got some at my boyfriend's place too, but I got the Friends boxset, perfume, money, champagne, a Sprinkle of Glitter diary, baking book and some home gifts for when I move.

Lastly, I received very thoughtful gifts of my Parents. I did get amazing gifts of them this year which I'm so grateful for! Down below are the main presents which I am so in love with. The Anastasia Beverly Hills contour palette in medium to tan is a palette I have wanted for so long and I can't believe they got this so right! Also I got two Gerard Cosmetics lipsticks in Fire Engine and Dragon Berry which I'll be doing make up looks with very soon! The mint cake mixer is for our new place and I can't wait to get using it and even do some baking blogs which will be interesting. Last but not least my camera! I've wanted a camera with a flip-up screen for a long time, especially one that is small enough for me to put in my handbag, who knows I might even do vlogs! These weren't all I received of them, I also got clothes, chocolates, Ted Baker make up, a hand painted cocktail glass and cute little stocking fillers.

Vlogmas Favourites | Blogmas | Day Fifteen

As well as following my favourite bloggers throughout December, I also like to watch my favourite youtubers do blogmas. Forget TV, I'd rather cosy up in bed and find out what my favourite youtubers are up to and also wish that I'd have the courage to start up a youtube channel myself.. maybe one day!

Down below I've listed who I religiously follow throughout December, some you will definitely of heard of, but others it might be someone new for you to follow! Here's my favourites!

Zoe Sugg | More Zoella & Alfie Deyes | PointlessBlogVlogs

Zoe and Alfie are a couple and are doing separate daily vlogs over Christmas. They both appear in each others vlogs with their gorgeous pug, Nala! There's a lot of laughs and you really get a good insight of what they get up to, they really don't miss much out which I love! I really loved the one were Zoe's brother Joe (ThatcherJoe on Youtube) was drunk, had me in fits of giggles! 

Gabriella Lindley | PlanetGabb

I love Gabby! Her vlogs are so chatty and it honestly feels like I'm sitting down at night to find out what my friend has done through December! She spends most of the time in her home but I love vlogs where you can just sit and get to know someone by watching them potter about their apartment and really gives a look into what their lives are really like! She also has a gorgeous cat, Nellie to!

The Michalaks | The Michalaks

The Michalaks are a family of three, Hannah, Stef & Grayson. Their vlogs I feel are like a work of art! They are so well documented and you really do see their ups and downs! 

Louise | Sprinkle Of Chatter

I'm loving Louise's vlogs at the moment! They feature her gorgeous daughter, Darcy and they really are such a great team together! I don't think I stop smiling whilst I watch their vlogs! 

Tanya Burr | Tanya Burr & Jim Chapman | EveryDayJim

Tanya and Jim are married and complete couple goals! They have a miniature dachshund, Martha and I'm just in love with her! 

Fleur De Force | FleurDeVlog

Fleur features her husband, Mike and her 3 gorgeous dogs! You'll honestly laugh out loud at her 3rd vlogmas when they do a Dog Lookbook! It had me in complete stitches and I really have the urge to dress my dog up now, sorry Spencer!

These are the people that really inspire me, and inspired me to start my blog all those years ago! There are a lot more of my favourite youtubers that unfortunately aren't taking part in vlogmas this year! Who are your favourite vloggers or even bloggers to follow? Let me know! 

What's In My Bag | Winter Edition | Blogmas | Day Thirteen

My bag is from Ted Baker and I received this from my very generous boyfriend for my 21st birthday back in July. It's absolutely gorgeous and the colour is just to die for!

My make up bag is also from Ted Baker, I may just be a little obsessed with how gorgeous their products are! Even though this looks quite small, it fits all my make up products I use for the day! This was around £21 which I think is an alright price for a make up bag! 

I saved up some for some time for this and so glad I did. Also from Ted Baker this cost me £70 which it took me A LONG time to pluck up the courage and buy! I love the pale pink and inside is rose gold which if you show me anything rose gold I fall in love with it instantly! 

My car keys, I couldn't go very far without these! I bought this plum pom pom from New Look for about £6 as it matches the colour of my bag, and also it's big enough so I don't lose my keys! 

I never leave the house without these in my bag! I live next to the sea so my hair can go pretty wild quickly from the wind and rain! If you have never owned a tangle teaser I'd seriously invest in one! It's the best thing i've ever purchased and I couldn't live without it! 

Lastly, I carry around these! 

Zoella hand cream |  My  hands get very dry in the winter months and this is the best hand cream I've ever used! 

Impulse and Gold Magic perfume by Little Mix |  I always carry about body spray and perfume as it's  handy to have and someone always asks me if I have any nice smelling products at some point through the day to borrow.

My inhaler |  If  you have asthma you'll understand winter can suck for us! So if I don't carry it around I really start to suffer in the cold! 

Ear Phones | Something I always carry around me, I always need them at some point and it's always the way, when I forget them, I need them! Typical!

Tissues | Am I the only one that feels like my nose never stops running throughout November and December? I love Winter but I hate having a tissue constantly attached to my hand! So these are something I always carry with me!

What do you have in your bag throughout Winter? Let me know below! 

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! 

November Favourites | Blogmas | Day Three

Here are my November favourites.  I love this time of year as it's time for cosy nights in with candles and a good book! So here are my favourites throughout November.



















 

Girl Online : On Tour | Zoe Suggs | If you haven't read Girl Online I'd advise you read that first as this is the follow up from that book. I managed to read this book in just under 2 days as there were that many ups and downs I just couldn't put the book down! I'd honestly give Zoe's books a read and check out her youtube channel and blog too!


Little Girl Gone | Alexandra Burt |. Just wow. This is quite a dark book but a book I'd definitely read again! So many twists in this book, your mind is constantly wondering what happens next and how it ends! A definite must read!


Little Mix | Gold Magic Perfume | I'm not a very fruity kind of person when it comes to perfumes but this is just devine! I love the packaging and you even get a little charm attached around the bottle too! If you are a lover of fruity scents or Little Mix give this a try!


Anastasia Beverly Hills | Self - Made Palette | This palette needs no introduction to my blog as I've already done a more detailed blog about this down below. Click here to read.


Blue Steel Nail Polish| Avon | I love this nail polish it's so pretty and with that subtle hint of blue through the silver it's beautiful when it catches in the light! You can't buy this product online but if you find your nearest Avon representative you can grab a catalogue and have a little nosey.

I Love You To The Moon And Back Sign | Homebase | This sign really means a lot to me. I clocked my eyes on it and instantly had to buy it! It's a thing that my boyfriend and I say to each other and really reminded me of how lucky I am to be in a fantastic relationship. That was so soppy.. i'm sorry!


Vanilla Satin Defuser | Yankee Candle | I absolutely love anything Vanilla. I bought this defuser a few months ago and decided November was the month to make my room smell lovely! Unfortunately I can't seem to find this defuser on their website but they have a huge selection of others to choose from!

What's in your November favourites? 

August Favourites 2015.

I haven't done a favourites blog in a while and that's just down to the fact I haven't came across anything new that I've fallen in love with. But the past month I've came across quite a few things, so here they are..

Top: Please Me

Bottom: Fabby

Connor Franta | A Work in Progress : This book is very inspirational and when reading I couldn't help but sit and re-evaluate my life and life decisions. Also it was just great to sit and read about one of my favourite youtubers and his back story. If you have lost inspiration and aren't quite to sure what to do with life i'd buy this. He speaks the truth and this book helped me a lot! Also check him out on youtube too if you haven't already! 

Mac Lipstick | Fabby & Please Me : On a recent trip to Glasgow I thought I'd treat myself to some Mac lipsticks! I wanted some killer nude lipsticks as I own way too many reds and purples and not enough every day shades! 'Fabby' is a frost shade which I haven't owned before but it's becoming one of my favourite shades even if it does rub off quite quickly (well for me anyway) and 'Please Me' is matte which I'd personally wear on a night out as it doesn't rub off as much as 'Fabby' does. 

Demi Lovato | Path to Fame : I am a massive Demi fan so when this app was released I was glued to my phone for hours playing! This app is about living a life of fame in the music industry and the struggles along the way. You have to make decisions which could either ruin your friendship, relationships or sabotage your fame. It's a slight glimpse into what can really happen when you are put into those positions. I give this app 10/10 and I really hope you love this as much as I do! 

Maybelline Face Master Sculpt | Contour : This contour kit is great if you are just a newbie to contouring or if you have a budget. Only costing £6.99 you can't really go wrong with this! I'd 100% recommend buying this before you go and buy high end as contouring isn't for everyone! But since buying this I can't live without it! 

Zoella | Lets Spritz Body Mist : Being a Zoe Sugg fan I couldn't wait to try out all of her range. But this little bottle stood out from them all! I haven't gone a day in the past month without having this on! It has such a fresh smell to it, I can't even explain how amazing it smells! Your definitely missing out if you don't have this product in your life.
