BLOGMAS DAY 15: What I love about Christmas

Here are some things that I love about Christmas!

1. Food- I am the biggest fan of a roast dinner and I feel like Christmas dinner is the king of them all! I love sausages in blankets, gravy, potatoes, turkey and stuffing.

2. Clothes- This is basically a time for all things tacky which mostly includes jumpers but can sometimes extend to pyjamas : )

3. Festive cheer- To me, everyone just seems so much happier and there is much excitement in the air!

4. Makeup- 'Tis the season of gold eyes and red lips.

5. Advent Calendars- It is so exciting opening the door every morning to find a chocolate!

6. Family and friends- This time gives everyone a good excuse to visit their family and friends who maybe live a bit further away and you can meet all of those relatives that you really didn't know you had : )

BLOGMAS DAY 5: Advent Calendar 2015

In today's post I wanted to show you the chocolate advent calendar that I had chosen this year. AS you can see it is a frozen themed one and it was bought at M&S. This picture was taken in advance but I have actually opened 5 of the doors now and it is safe for me to say that the chocolate inside is really good. Sometimes with advent calendars it can be hard to find the balance between appearance and taste. This one does! I chose frozen because it looked really cute and I love the colour theme. Frozen is so Christmassy with its snow and snowmen! Although this year I did not buy any beauty calendars, I think I definitely will be next year. The body shop calendar and also the benefit one look great. I am always really interested in the advent calendars that other people buy. Imagine having multiple!
Comment down below which advent calendar you chose this year : )

BLOGMAS DAY 3: Hot Cocoa

One of my favourite drinks for the Christmas period is hot chocolate. Yes, I called it hot cocoa in the title but it is sounds so much cuter! I have shown a really cool diagram that I found on https://www.pinterest.com/ which shows some alternative hot chocolate recipes. I can't wait to try some more of these out! I hope you do to. My favourite would probably be pumpkin spice because I love spices like nutmeg and cinnamon because it just tastes so Christmassy! (is that a word?!?)
