Feeling extra specially festive today! Possibly because me and my Mum have been decorating the house like mad women because my older brother and his partner and coming down this Christmas and so he insists our house to be very OTT with Christmas decor. My Mum especially is obsessed with the Christmas lighted houses and garlands so I thought I'd photograph some tonight to put on here just for a quick and cute picture post! Last year I was such a scrooge and didn't feel festive which was so rubbish but this year I am super super excited!
Sorry it's such a short post! I have a lot of work to do for Photography ahhh, it's frustrating! But hope you enjoyed, let me know in comments what's your favourite thing about Christmas! xo
I haven't blogged in FOREVER! First with exams and then starting college and having projects from my course I haven't found the time, but now I'm settled in I decided that now was a good time to start it up again! So today I have an exciting but small haul from Body shop with reviews! I ordered;
- Madagascan Vanilla Flower Fragrance Mist -£5
- Frosted Cranberry Hand Cream - £3.50
- Japanese Cherry Blossom Fragrance Mist -£5
- Frosted Cranberry Lipgloss - £7.50
First off I have always loved the vanilla flower fragrance, I'm a sucker for sweet smelling musky perfumes and this one is the definition of sweetness! It lasts all day and I only need to top up on it a few times throughout! As for the japanese blossom, I've never tried this one before now and it is quite a nice subtle floral scent which would be lovely for an evening meal or something like that, it's quite different to what I'd usually wear but I was surprised at how nice it turned to be!
I've never really used hand cream before but now it's getting colder and colder each day I thought I should purchase one, and plus I couldn't resist the festive scents they had! Frosted cranberry caught my eye first, mostly because of the name and packaging it has is adorable! When I first tried it I noticed first how moisturizing it is and the fact you only need a small squeeze of it, what I really love about this product is also how it doesn't stay on your hands for ages and sinks in to your skin pretty quickly, I always find with moisturizers that they take ages to dry and so you're left with sticky or slimy skin, but with this cream that's definatley not the case. :)
Finally I had to get the beautiful red lipgloss that also matches the festive theme, it's such a beautiful christmassy colour and scent, it suits my skin tone really well which is a kind of pale olive tone and lasts on my lips for a reasonably long time. Something I have to put out there about this gloss though is that I found it kind of sticky and when trying to put it on my lips it's quite hard to blend and can look a bit uneven unless I used my finger to rub it in! It's not really a big problem, but just something I found!
Hope you enjoyed this haul! Let me know in the comments what I can talk about in my next post or anything festive you've brought recently!
So since I've had this blog I've actually been nominated for this 'Liebster Award' 3 times, each time I've kind of avoided it because if I'm honest I had no idea what it was, until now where I have actually looked it up and kind of understood it! Oops! ;)

Soo, 11 facts about me!
- I LOVE Channing Tatum. It's a typical teenager girl thing to say. But it's true.
- I am currently taking Art,Photography,History and French in school.
- I used to live in Dorset, and I have been living in Cornwall for about 7 years now!
- I have a small fear of my knee bending the opposite way than it should do.. There's no way it will do, but yeah..
- I HATE when people touch the back of my knee. It makes me cringe so hard I want to hit the person who does it.
- I have really wierd OCD things like, if I spin around one way, I HAVE to spin back round the other, or until my body feels comfortable in the position I've turned. It's got worse recently, it bugs me to see other people spinning and not spinning back. It makes me feel really uncomfortable.
- I really like to fiddle with peoples hands (that does honestly sound super weird) but like playing with peoples fingers and stuff. (More likely my boyfriends hands but).
- If I'm trying to make someone feel sorry for me I'll usually crack out a whining puppy noise. #Sorrynotsorry
- I love Magic Stars. And Nerds.
- According to Sam, I have the 'lamest insults' which is completely ridiculous. Although before he said that I did call him a 'poopface' but still. They're usually better I promise.
- I really love guys backs and arms. They're just so mhgpdssddfffg.

Today I went out to Heligan Gardens with two friends Lucy and Josie. We managed to plan it super quickly and it was a really fun day out! Walking round some gardens can be pretty boring but when you're with really good friends it can turn out pretty funny! And Heligan has the best cafe.... (not the only reason we went I promise)
Here's some pictures from the day!
This is only a very quick post! I'm thinking of doing a hair tutorial or makeup tutorial soon, comment some ideas of what I could do next!
Much love,

Much love,
I am subscribed to 3 magazines, Vogue, Glamour and Marie Claire.
I must admit the reason I have subscriptions to these magazines were because they were on offer for a year's worth of issues, but also because I do love reading them, Glamour especially! And I tend to stock up on the vogues and make mood boards and whatnot out of them or use them for my GCSE Photography & Art books.
I am also a sucker for the sachets and samples they put into the magazines, I always rely on new perfume samples which are almost always sneakily inside, but I get (sadly) excited over when there are foundation or moisturizer samples, (don't deny you don't too-).
And even better when you get real makeup out of it. That's just the sugar coating to the doughnut really. ^.^
This months magazines led to me to having about 3 perfume samples (Issey Miyake - L'eau D'Issey, Thierry Mugler - Alien,Calvin Klein- Endless Euphoria) , a 25% off in H&M voucher (in stores only), a smashbox foundation and a garnier moisturizer. Aren't I feeling like a lucky ducky! And then, I have gained a mascara too! This is the ModelCo Fibre LASHXTEND. I am excited to try this, although I have been looking at reviews for it and they aren't particularly fabulous but hopefully I'll be able to bring some positivity to the product!
Anyhow, I better actually read these magazines rather than ogle over the free goodies!
Thanks for reading,
Today I ventured (not really ventured but sounded pretty dramatic and more interesting) to my boyfriend's house and we went out on an early evening walk round the village and did some baking and other things, so thought I'd post something I haven't done before and that is my 'ootd'! :)
What I'm wearing:
'Group Pugs' tshirt - New Look
Checked coat - New Look
Denim skater skirt - Primark
Boots - I got these online somewhere a long time ago, really can't remember! They're basically nearly knee-high light brown lace up boots! They're so comfy!
Accessories - you can't see them but I was wearing my 'i love you to the moon and back' ring from ShopDixi, a few rings from Peacocks, and 2 rings from Primark.
So that's basically it for this post! I'll leave some pictures down below of some photographs me and my boyfriend have taken today on the walk, I'm ending this post short as I need to sleep as I am going back to school tomorrow *sigh* and have to get up at a ridiculous time of 6.30 :(
Thanks for reading lovelies!

Here's a quick run down of my everyday eye makeup!
Firstly, I use Calvin Kleins cream eyeshadow in the shade Sheer Nectar on the second half of my eyelid, I do this because it provides a base for the eye-shadow's I will use next.
I'm using W7 77 eyeshadow palette for this makeup, I've circled the four eyeshadow's I've used so that you can see what the colour is like and how easily you can recreate the look with your own eyeshadow's that have similar colours! The colours are roughly; a champagne/skin colour, a medium-dark matte brown, a very dark shimmery brown, and a goldy colour.
Secondly, I've used the champagne skin colour eye-shadow all over the lid, then used the matte brown in the crease of my lid and blended it in with a fluffy eye-shadow brush just so the lines aren't so harsh.
