to me love me.

Christmas spirit to me is more about giving gifts than receiving them, I love watching my friends and families faces as they open gifts that I've put a lot of thought into. Having said that, it is near impossible to go into all those shops to buy presents without treating myself to a thing or two!

christmas 2014.

This year has been my first Christmas away from home and has definitely been strange! Although I missed waking up with my family it did get me thinking about starting to make our own Christmas traditions, so many families have certain ways of doing things at Christmas and i'd love to find something special for us. Anybody who has any traditions to share feel free!

Obviously one of the main aspects of Christmas are the presents and, as always, I have been very spoilt by all my loved ones. I started off my day exchanging my gifts with Jake and was completely surprised by them, as well as getting the complete Harry Potter box set on blu-ray I also got tickets to ''The Making Of Harry Potter"tour to go with it! I have been dying to go for so long and am absolutley over the moon about getting tickets :D

back to blogging.

Firstly I would like to apologise for not posting in so long, everything has been so crazy in the past few months, moving house, going on holiday and then christmas has taken its toll and I have just had no time to post!

Obviously being so busy means I have a lot to talk about so over the next few weeks expect to see posts coming up about christmas 2014, our Japanese holiday, moving out and my general out and aboutyness!

I look forward to getting back into it and hope you enjoy my up and coming posts :)

vintage wonderland.

I had the privilege of visiting a gorgeous vintage fair yesterday right here in Bristol! My mum came across an advert for it on facebook and after pointing it out to me I decided straight away that I would be going, it was in The Passenger Shed which is a small little warehouse type building next to Temple Meads train station and was a lovely little venue. We started off rummaging through some clothes rails and within seconds my friend Trudie had found a jacket to purchase, there were so many lovely items but I decided to be good and wait until I we'd looked around a bit more before buying.

tangle troubles.

I don't really like writing 'bad reviews' as I feel everyone has their own opinions and experiences of different products but unfortunately I feel like I have to write one regarding this product. Anyone who knows me, or has stalked my instagram or twitter will know that I have crazy frizzy/curly hair and it is just completely out of control unless I straighten it, so when I heard about the 'tangle teezer' I thought it would be a god send if it worked.

winter warmers.

As much as I love the heat in the summer autumn has got to be my favourite season and now we are officially in it I have started to buy my autumn/winter clothes. I’m not really sure what kind of winter style I’m going for this year, normally it’s just massive jumpers and boots, but I have got a thing for colourful tights at the moment and am trying to incorporate them more in to my style.

room changes.

Sorry I haven't been posting that much lately, I am now working two jobs and alongside that have been trying to spend a bit more time with my friends and fella so haven't been at my computer much! I did, however, have a bit of spare time today so after wrapping up some presents ready for my lovely mamma's birthday next week and sorting out my wardrobe I decided to have a change around in my room. I've never really changed my room before, it's been decorated as i've grown up and a few years ago when we were doing building work it got completely re-done but i've always basically kept it the same, until today! I saw a beautiful bedding set in asda: george home and just had to buy it, I put it on and then started thinking if there was anything else I could do to give my room a bit of a 'fresh' look, after lugging my ridiculously heavy bed around and moving some drawers and other bits and pieces I was pretty happy with the outcome... so this is just a little post about my new room layout and I will hopefully be back into my post writing next week :)

my goodies.

While I have been saving money and trying to not spend so much I have started to make a list at the beginning of each month of things that I need to buy, this way I knew exactly what I wanted to get so I wasn't browsing around shops and spending a fortune. It seems though, that each time I have been out shopping the products I wanted to buy haven't been there, so instead i have been substituting them with products that I think are kind of similar, because of this I have found some amazing new products and brands and thought that it would be good to review some of these on here :)
