Spreading the Love: 5 Bloggers to Check Out | Blogmas Day 23

It's the 23rd of December and the end of Blogmas is in sight. I've loved it but my god is it a lot of work! I'm actually so proud of myself that I managed to do it. Not only the writing but the planning, the photography, the promoting! Anyone that posts more than twice a …

My Top 3 Books of 2020 | Blogmas Day 22

When thinking back over my favourite books that I've read this year, I found it really hard to choose a top three. The unprecedented lockdown this year meant I read more than I have in the last few years put together. I read a whole range of books, from romance to murder mystery, a collection …

6 Ways to Practice Self Care at Christmas | Blogmas Day 21

I think most people love Christmas; the celebrations, opportunities for socialising and all round joy. For the most part, it's such a happy time, the most wonderful time of the year you could say. But, we have to admit that it's oftentimes overwhelming as well. Constantly being 'on', the pressure to enjoy everything and make …

The Best Christmas Movies | Blogmas Day 20

Ahh, one of the best parts of Christmas... the films! I don't have many memories of watching Christmas movies when I was younger but as I got older, I got really into them. By mid-November onwards, if you find me watching a film it's most definitely a Christmas one. And don't even get me started …

Festive Caramel Reindeer Cupcakes | Blogmas Day 19

If you've read any of my Blogmas posts this year, you'll know I love Christmas baking.

The Best Board Games for Christmas | Blogmas Day 18

Is there anything better than a board game at Christmas!? In the evening on Christmas Day when everyone is full of Christmas dinner and the drinks are flowing.

5 Last Minute Gift Ideas | Blogmas Day 17

I think we've all been there. We think we've done all of our Christmas shopping then all of a sudden, a few days before Christmas, we realise we've forgotten something! I've done it before and the panic... the panic! And after that first stomach-drop realisation, you then have to rush around thinking of ideas, and …

The Best Festive Red Lipsticks | Blogmas Day 16

For me, Christmas isn't Christmas without a festive red lip. Whether it's to brighten up a casual jeans and bobble hat combo, or to add a fancy touch to a Christmas party outfit, a red lip screams 'it's Christmaaaas' à la Merry Xmas Everybody by Slade (niche reference perhaps...?). When I was a teenager, I …

Online Christmas Party Outfit Ideas | Blogmas Day 15

One of the many things that are different about Christmas this year (is it just me or have you heard this phrase about a hundred times recently?) is that in person Christmas parties are a no-go. I went to my first office Christmas party last year and I'm sad there isn't going to be one …

December Fashion Favourites 2020 | Blogmas Day 13

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love winter fashion. I love to be wrapped up warm in knitted jumpers, scarves and bobble hats. I love skirts, tights and chunky boots. Long story short, I feel like winter is when my style comes into its own. This year, I've been working from …
