Blogmas Day Two- The Christmas tag

Hey guys,

Today I decided to think about my favourite parts of Christmas by doing a Christmas tag

1.  Do you prefer a real Christmas tree or synthetic tree?

I prefer a real Christmas trees instead of synthetic but I have never had a chance to have one we always have had synthetic but once I get my own house I plan to get real Christmas trees every year as a new tradition. 

2.  You're in a coffee shop, it's December, what do you pick?

I would definitely choose a hot chocolate and if they did any special kinds then I would choose one of those Costa is usually my go to for the special hot chocolate.

3.  What's your favourite colour scheme for decorating the tree?

Well my colour scheme last year was red and silver so it will probably do that again this year with a few special decorations with it.

4.  Giving or receiving?

I would have to say I love receiving gifts but its a lot better giving gifts I love buying things for people and seeing how happy they are when giving them to people.

5.  To mince pie or not to?

Not to for sure I don't like them at all I prefer something chocolatey 

6.  What's your traditional Sunday lunch?

My traditional Sunday lunch has got to be chicken, vegetables, roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, and gravy
  

7.  Christmas day fashion?
It has to be something cute and comfortable like a cosy jumper, leggings and cosy socks. 

8.  What's your favourite Christmas song?

I don't have one in particular but keep coming back over the Christmas season and you will see 10 of my favourite songs. 

9.  What's your favourite Christmas film?

It has to be Elf ! There will also be a top 10 christmas films blog post over the christmas season so keep your eyes out for that.

10.  Open presents before or after lunch?

My family have always opened our presents before we have christmas lunch preferably as early as possible.

I hope you like this tag and I want everyone who reads this blog post to do this tag if you have a blog. I hope you are all having a good day and don't forget to do your christmas challenge of the day if you are joining in on it.

Question of the day- What's your favourite christmas film?

Winter Essentials

Hey Guys,

I'm sorry I've been rubbish at uploading this week, to make up for it I've spent a while changing my background ready for christmas I hope you like it! Also lately I've noticed that everyone has started to wear winter clothes, such as scarf's, hats and coats. So I decided that it was time for me to do an Autumn/Winter essentials blog post to tell you about some of my Winter essentials and hopefully give you some ideas. 

So here is some of the things that you might need when you go outdoors:-

1. Winter Boots to make sure you don't get cold feet.

2. Leggings are always good as they are cosy.

3. Jeans are a winter essential for everyone.

4. Scarf's are always good to keep you warm and they look pretty with outfits.

5.Gloves to keep your hands warm.

6. A coat to keep you all cosy.

7. Ear Muffs not an essential but are good I have cool ones with built in earphones.

8. Jumpers for the extra cold winter days.

9. Cardigans for the not as cold winter days.

10. A hat to keep all your heat in.

I though I would add some essentials for the Indoors too.

1. Big Cosy Blankets are always good if your a bit chilly inside.

2. Pyjamas are the cosiest thing to wear on a lazy day especially in winter.

3.  I wear slippers all the time in the winter especially slipper boots.

4. Movies are always good for Wintery cosy days.

5.Hot Drinks are great to warm you up after being out in the cold.

6. Bath Stuff is good all year round but I feel winter in bath season.

I hope that this post was helpful to at least one person to know what kind of things will be good for them to have this winter. Obviously not all of these are life or death items but I thought they were all items which would be nice to have this winter. Also sorry that I didn't upload last week I had a lot going on.

Happy Halloween- Halloween ThrowBack

Happy Halloween Guys!!!

I don't know if people are probably going to do throwbacks to past Halloween's but I decided that I was going to be different and give you a throwback from when I went to the Warner bro's studio where harry potter was filmed and show you some pictures of all of the props. I also decided instead of having a load of paragraphs to read id leave the tour to your imagination and just show you some photos from the tour but in the right order of how the tour was set out. I hope you find this as exciting as I did so here we gooo....

 I hope you enjoyed a sneak peek into the making of harry potter and I would definitely recommend going to the Warner Bro's studio to anyone who is interested. I hope you are all having a great Halloween and  I will be back on Monday with a new post.

Easy Halloween Bat D.I.Y

Hey guys,

Today I thought that I was time for us to do an easy Halloween d.i.y because its getting very close to Halloween and I needed something to get me and hopefully all of you in the mood for some Halloween fun. So today I decided I wanted to make these cool Halloween treat bats, they can also be used as decorations too.

All you need is:

Toilet roll tube
Paper/ Card (preferably black)
Glue
Scissors
Colouring pens/pencils/ Paint ( you can choose which one you want)
Glue
Sticky tape

Step 1
Get your toilet roll tube and colour the outside black, you can paint it as well i just chose to colour as you don't have to wait for it to dry.

Step 2
Get a piece of paper/card and a large circular shaped object and draw around it to make two large circles.














Step 3
Then cut the circles out if you need help from an adult then make sure you do.

Step 4
Next fold the circles in half  glue both of the sides together then paint/colour your semi circles in.

Step 5
Get the two half circles and cut half circles out of the straight end of them and that should make your wings.















Step 6
Now we need to bend the top of the toilet paper tube in to the middle so that the bat looks like it has ears.














Step 7
Then put both the wings together and tape them to the back of your bat.















Step 8
Tape them onto the back of the toilet roll tube.

Step 9
Now its time to draw the face on the bat and your done.

If you want to make them into sweet holders then put the sweets inside of it and put some tissue underneath to stop the sweets from falling out. Also you could make a string of bats to hang up but hole punching the sides and putting sting through them.

I hope you like this D.I.Y i tried to make it simple so that everyone can have a go and not feel overwhelmed by how complicated they are. Also if you do recreate this then don't forget to tag me in a picture on instagram my links in the bar at the top of the blog.

Top 5 halloween nail varnishes

Hey guys,

So this Monday I'm going to be talking about five of my most favourite nail varnishes to wear in October to celebrate halloween. These aren't new or high end they are just your average nail varnishes which you can find in any beauty shop.

1. My first halloween favourite nail varnish has to be a black one because its just a basic halloween colour which can go with pretty much any halloween outfit also good for doing a funky halloween design over.

2. The second is a purple glittery one these are always good for the days surrounding halloween as its not too halloweenie but still has the colour purple in it.

3. This third one just screams halloween at me on orange nail varnish would be perfect for a pumpkin themed you could even use nail art pens to draw a pumpkin if you wanted to go all out.

4. These barry m special effects nail varnishes are perfect for around halloween time all you have to do is put a halloween nail varnish colour on say the orange essie one above and then put this one on top to give you a funky little patten and its effortless.

5. The last but not least nail varnish would be great if there is a lot of blood involved in your halloween costume or as another undercoat for a special effects nail varnish.

6. This is kind of a bonus because its not a nail varnish but its just as good its a nail wrap and these can be found in lots of places but i found mine in topshop and i would recommend you all to go look because they don't just do halloween ones i got all sorts of different ones too.

I hope you all like this post and dont forget to come back on friday for my monthly friday favourites with a hint of halloween added to it. This was your Halloween top 5 nail varnishes and i hope you will come back soon. Dont forget to go back and read more posts if you haven't already only 11 days till halloween! Also don't forget to come back on monday to see my spooky Halloween favourites for this month
