Traditions

Blogmas Day 24:

Hey Guys,

My family have certain traditions that I cannot help but adore at the festive time of year.
We always decorate the tree and house together, and place a special bauble for my granddad. We will never forget him.

We always must wait until half of December has passed before we can open the tins of chocolates.

We always spend Christmas eve together watching a movie or TV with a cup of tea or hot chocolate and biscuits. Just being together and talking through our excitement is amazing.

We must wait Christmas morning for everyone to drink a cup of tea before we can open our presents.

We always sit around the table for Christmas dinner and pull the crackers and laugh at the silly jokes and wear the hats that are always too big for all of us.

But this year is going to be different. This year I am living with my boyfriend and some traditions are going to change. This year my boyfriend wants to have Christmas dinner together at his. So, I’m going to have to change that tradition slightly, to doing it every other year. Or when I finally get my own place have everyone together in one place.  

Christmas Eve Tradition is staying the same, I will be driving over there on the afternoon to spend the time with my mom and driving over Christmas morning to have that cup of tea and open our presents together.

I can’t wait until I have my own children to be able to do these traditions with my own little family as well as my whole family. I can’t wait to see their face on their first Christmas and how they react to all the lights and music.

I love having traditions and I also love when they can adapt to new things that can happen.

Do you have any Traditions?


Thank you x

Weekend Make-up Essentials

Hey Guys, I spent the weekend at my mom's house and thought I would show you what I took with me in my make up bag. Firstly my bag is the Free bag that came with my Hugo Boss perfume I got for my birthday. It is the perfect size to carry everything in and it looks great. For brushes I have a spectrum A05 brush that came free with a Birch-box, I use it for my bronzer to lightly contour my face. I have the Real Techniques Buffing brush which I use for my powder and the Real Techniques Contour brush which I use for highlight.The Real techniques base shadow brush for eyeshadow and the Real Techniques Brow brush for my brows.

21st Birthday- How I Got Ready

Image
Hi, guys, it’s official since September 23rd, I am 21!! For this birthday, I had no idea what was happening, my boyfriend and his family met up with my family and spoke in secret around me for over a month trying to make the day special for me. I can say now that it has been the best birthday I have ever had. But before the day I spent some time getting myself ready so I knew I looked photo ready. I did my nails, hair, really took care of my skin, changed my diet, and chose a special outfit.  I did my nails like this because I wanted something different and special. I wanted them to be noticeable against my outfit as well as to match them. I used Rimmel London 60 second shine in 800 black out and Super gel by Kate in 012 Soul Session. For extra detailing, I also used Kiko Milano Smart fast dry nail lacquer in this beautiful copper colour. I prepped my hair the week before with Percy and Reed Wonder Overnight Recovery, this made my hair feel amazing it completel...

Ant's Birthday Cake

Image
Mmmmm, How delicious does that cake look? Trust me it does taste delicious too. Hey, This is my Boyfriend's birthday cake, it took me about 4 hours to make and decorate. But it was worth it because he loved it and so did everyone else. I definitely cheated when it came to making this cake. I wanted to make him a cake I knew he was going to love. He loves chocolate fudge cake, so I thought this is similar so I'll give it a try. This cake is a  Betty Crocker  Devil's Food cake mix. It can be bought from any super market and only requires 3 ingredients to make the cake. To make Ant's cake I wanted four layers so I bought two boxes of cake mix and followed the instructions on the box to make them. I them cut the cakes in half and waited for them to completely cool. My future sister-in-law makes the best buttercream icing I have ever tasted in my life so I asked for a helping hand on that. She mixed icing sugar and butter together with a splash of milk to creat...
