IT'S STARTING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS

Just an update. I didn't realise that I haven't posted on here in three days and that makes me feel awful! I started a job this week and have been working 9-6 each day leaving me exhausted when I get home - being a student doesn't prepare you at all for a full time job! Anyway, that aside, it's four days until Christmas and my house is looking super festive, so I thought I'd share a few photos with you. The first five are from the living room, very coordinated, and the last is my tree in my room which matches nothing but I like it.

Hopefully regular blogging will resume asap, I've missed it rather a lot! Merry Christmas!

GIFT IDEA | JAMES BOND 007 GOLD FOR MEN

007 Gold Limited Edition - £25 (50ml) and £34 (75ml)

Christmas is coming around so quickly this year, and with just less than a week to go, I can almost guarantee there's a few people in your life that you are struggling to think of gift ideas for. I thought I'd do a few posts this week with last minute ideas for gifts and a really great idea for most people is a fragrance, and if the person you are buying for also happens to be a James Bond fan, then I honestly think this one would be really good for them. 

The James Bond 007 fragrance comes in a limited edition gold bottle and would be great for any dads, husbands, boyfriends, friends or any men in your life in fact. It is described as having notes of Vetyver, lavender, crisp apple and warm musky woods which to me sounds like a very masculine scent certainly reflective of James Bond. I also really like the idea of the limited edition bottle, I think it could be a great thing to have forever and which man doesn't want to feel like James Bond?

It's been a wonderful Christmas!

Christmas has been and gone now which is super sad! There's all this build-up beforehand and then after a day (or two!) it's over....I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas weekend however you spent it and today I just thought I'd share with you how I spent mine... (photo heavy!)

I woke up properly at about 5:30am and then just stared at the clock until 7am....yes I get excited! Then came present time! Our presents went from this:

To this:

I just love ripping open wrapping paper...I'm not one of those people who does it oh so carefully to save the paper...I just go straight for it! I got some really nice presents this year from my parents...here are a few of them...

Ionika 'Rebellious Tattoo' Hair Straighteners

 

Tangle Teezer - PINK!

Vampire Diaries calendar - I love this show so so much!

These three jumpers are all from New Look and I love them all! I really needed some winter/warmer jumpers and these are just perfect! I'm now on a mission to find a black chiffon shirt to go underneath the red one...

Stephanie Beacham Autobiography - I'm looking forward to reading this so much! Floral travel/make-up bag/purse/anything I want them to be! Marc B navy bag with gold hardware - this is one of my favourite bags that I own now!

I also got a lot of socks (I love socks!), some perfume, chocolate and some other little things (:

THEN, on Boxing Day me and my mum went to The Trafford Centre for a nosey around and it was heaving!! People were parked on the pavements, the grass, the main road and everywhere and then walking around was just manic; you couldn't even move. I did however manage to get myself a few things including a chunky aztec cardigan I'd seen on the Internet previously (this was my mission of the day). 

I did get the cardigan *happy dance* and it was reduced from £45 to just £20 which is a bargain - it's from Miss Selfridge for all those who want to know.

I also got two necklaces from Accessorize and some earrings from Selfridges which are so unusual! 

I've seen this necklace every time I've gone into Accessorize and each time the thought of paying £15 has completely made me walk away, but yesterday it was in the sale for £7!

I told you they are unusual! I saw them and reduced down to £3 I had to have them...

Finally we went to Lush and they were have a 50% off sale on christmas products so I got myself the big bottle of snow fairy and another Abominaball snowman ballistic after my last one crumbled :'( I also got the Twilight ballistic because everyone raves about it so much...

___________________________________________________________

Back to Christmas day now and after opening presents my dad started preparing and cooking Mr Turkey Lurkey - we always call turkeys that for some reason! *WARNING!* Any vegetarians look away now!

My dads skilled turkey cutting technique...I didn't want to go anywhere near that thing while it still had legs - and ugly legs at that!

Vegetables and potatoes :D (and that yellowy stuff in the pan is chicken soup, not custard which is what I thought it was lol)

I LOVE stuffing! I could literally just sit and eat stuffing...on its own....just like it is in this photo....

Finally we could eat! woohoo!

My mum made enough mash potato to feed a small nation....not to worry though because mash is my favourite!

Right I need to ask this, I don't like Christmas pudding, so I opted for mince pies instead but I don't like the custard all over the mince pies so I had them separately...does anyone else do this? This can't just be me! I do it with all my food...nothing can touch and I can't have gravy because it just mixes everything together...please, someone out there say they do this too!

After dinner we just watched some movies and relaxed...Christmas Day was super fun this year and Boxing Day was also great spent at my Grandma and Grandads house :D

Once again, I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas with the ones you love...and I hope you ate lots of lovely food! haha
