A Cute Christmas

I haven't been on here for ages, have been madly busy at work. But due to the snow my planed night out with work mates has been cancelled, so i thought i would take this oportunity to make a quick post.

I just wanted to wish all the lovely people who stop by my little old blog a lovely Christmas time, and thanks for visiting here :) and here's some cute Christmas pics to make you smile (^_^)
When time permits i have many reviews incoming... now it's time to catch up with my favourite blogs.

Christmas Pressies

Ok, ok i know Christmas is sooo last year and all that... but as i've been enjoying seeing what others have got for Christmas i though i would do a quick post on some of the lovely beauty related presents i got...

A very pretty Paul & Joe set which has a lip conditioner, cleansing milk, toner and cream

A beautiful Body Shop 'Japanese Cherry Blossom' gift set which contained a perfume, body butter, shower gel, and bath scrunchie, in a super cute box which i've already chucked a load of bits and bobs in!

A Beautilicious seven liplocking lovelies lipgloss gift set, and an Anatomicals lips and eyes set, which had an eye cream and lip balm.

And this baby! An Anatomicals 'I will survive (the 21st Century non disco mix)' which contained in the super glittery box a shower gel, brightening facecream, headache relieving balm, and an eye gel mask... How cool?!

I also got some rather lovely heated rollers, which i am obsessed with as they are bloody amazing! And a very very cute Hello Kitty glitter lamp (^_^)

And Lastly, heres one of my favourite pictures i took this Christmas- the pups have over done it with the Christmas celebrations! Ahhhhhhhhh

Merry Christmas Everyone!

So this is Christmas...?

It's Christmas Eve tomorrow, and for once in my life not only have i bought all my presents but they are all wrapped and under the tree. Tomorrow will be a stress free zone, and i won't be rushing about tomorrow night frantically wrapping things. So i'm feeling quite smug... even though i can't find the obligitory novelty socks that i'd bought my Dad ages ago.

Christmas is my absolute favourite time of year. Whatever crap is going on in your life, you can put it aside for a few days and just have a good time. Christmas to me is about loads of tinsel, and a tree covered in fairy lights. It's about having a sing along to the most cheesiest songs ever (but cheesy is good at Xmas!) The best Christmas song of course being by Wham! But you can't beat a bit of Slade, or Shakin Stevens! haha

Of course you can't beat the array of seasonal films. Maximum smulch a neccessity. Me and my sister have a tradition that we must watch A Mupppet Christmas Carol every Christmas Eve. A classic story, with the added bonus of the Muppets, and Michael Caine! And the classic Marley and Marley song that we always sing along to. But Home Alone, Elf, The Grinch, The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Santa Clause, Love Actually, and Jingle All The Way all have to be watched as well.

Forgetting about the 'healthy eating' and getting out the Quality Street, and Christmas biscuits. The huge turkey dinner expertly cooked by my Mum. Always getting the mini screwdriver set in my cracker. Always. The cashew nuts... which we only ever eat at Christmas. The net of chocolate coins that we always get in our stockings. Christmas food is delicious!

Exchanging presents, and watching peoples faces when you've got them just what they wanted. Opening my Marks and Spencer bubble bath from my Nan & Grandad and smiling (even though i only have a shower cubicle). Giving the Dogs their present, and finding they prefer the wrapping paper to what's actually inside.

Then of course in the evening attempting to play games with the whole family, which inevitably ends in an arguement over whether somones cheating or if that deserves a point etc... Having a brandy and then laughing about the whole thing.

I mean, yes this time of year can be stressful. Walking round shops desperatly trying to find a present for my Dad (who is the hardest person to buy presents for ever!) with people everywhere, and endless queues. But when all is said and done, whatever your beliefs to me the best thing about Chrismas is spending a bit of time with the people that you love, and having a bit of fun.

So wherever you are, and whatever your Chrismas traditions are, i hope you have a bangin' December 25th!
