What Christmas means to me

Blogmas Day 4:

Hey guys,

What does Christmas mean to you?
To me, it means everything, every little detail that happens in the day is what makes the day special. It’s seeing everyone’s faces when they open the gifts you have brought them. It’s seeing the look on everyone’s faces when you open what you have been bought. The look of anticipation and hope and joy. It’s amazing. Every Christmas morning, we take it in turns to open presents at my house. So, you have to wait your turn. At first, I hated that but now I have grown up a little, I can understand why we do it like that. It allows us to appreciate what we have. The tidying up has never been nor ever will be my favourite part.

To me it’s also about my family, getting to spend the day with them and getting to see their smiles and hear their laughs. That means so much to me, I love to know that they are happy and having a good day. This year it will be my nieces first Christmas so to see her face when she opens all her presents will be joyful. But no doubt she will then end up playing with the boxes more than the toys.
To me it’s about the Christmas dinner, getting to sit around a table and talking with everyone while you eat. It’s about the crackers you pull with everyone and wearing the silly hats and laughing at the terrible jokes. Sharing and exchanging the little toys and puzzles and items that come in there even though you never really use them.

It’s also about the evening and just sitting down to watch a Christmas movie, nibbling on cheese and crackers, drinking tea or hot chocolate. And just relaxing with everyone and getting yourself tired enough to sleep, once you’ve got over the excitement.

Christmas to me is about making others happy. Giving them something that they wouldn’t choose for themselves and they actually love it. It means stuffing your face and not caring about your diet, or if your jeans will fit by the end of the day because you can always put pajamas on in the middle of the day it’s fine. It’s about taking photos and being able to capture the memories and share and laugh at them in years to come.

What’s your favourite part of Christmas day?


Thank you x

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 completely got rid

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 create t
