BLOGMAS DAY 24: MERRY CHRISTMAS!

It's CHRISTMAS EVE, as I'm sure you're all probably aware of, and this is the end of Blogmas, it certainly has been tough, you don't really think daily blogging would be hard, and it wouldn't, if you didn't have rules like 'internet off at nine' or 'banned off of your laptop' and I'm sorry for missing a few days, and we know that we could have put more effort into a few of the days, but I hope it has been a substantial amount of LAOR to keep you going, haha. This month has been full of surprises, like reaching 1K, and scoring views in LOADS of countries!

None of this would have happened without you beautiful people, and we would just like to say thank you, and spread a little Christmas joy to y'all *poof* there you go! A lot of people probably won't read this post as they'll be off playing board games and appreciating their families a lot more over the holiday period, in fact, I've just taken a break out of Monopoly to write this!

 I'm not going to ruin your Christmas' by bringing up the fact that there are people out there that aren't as fortunate as us, and maybe even you! If you aren't as fortunate as we are, if you are missing loved ones, then an even bigger Merry Christmas, we haven't forgotten the less fortunate y'know! So a the less fortunate y'know! So a huge thank you and another big Merry Christmas to you all! I hope its fantastic and full of joy! 

Also, on boxing day, I will be heading to my Mums for 10 days, and she doesn't have wifi, or a laptop (that works) so, I'm not sure whether I will be able to post for a while, I may steal my Mum's phone to post, if I can, and I'll see where it goes from there! Sorry, if this is the last post from me for a while, but I'm sure you'll be pleased to see the back of me, I'm right aren't I? Sad times! 

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Love from,

Amy & Megan

BLOMAS DAY TWENTY THREE: FESTIVE NAILS!

Aloha Beautiful People (I like that greeting, that could be a regular, hm.) so, as you can most probably tell from the title of this post you are currently reading, today I will be sharing some of my favourite festive nail arts! Y'see, I LOVE nail art, but am TERRIBLE at it, I don't know why, maybe i have shaky hands? I don't know? Whenever that rare moment does occur that my nails look fabulous, I tend to smudge them... That is why I tend to just give up! So, on this fine occasion, I will be shaing some of my faves to try out this season, and I don't know weather I've mentioned this yet, but... IT'S NEARLY CHRISTMASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! As you can see, I'm a wee but excited! *insert winky face*

The very first wintery  nail art I tried out, was back in September I think, I was getting excited, and was feeling a wee bit creative! It was a pale, pastelly grey base, with little metalic, white to pink shiny, stars, it was so cute! Also, fetching a few compliments, not to gloat or anything *inserts yet another winky face*. The annoying part was that they were perfect, no smudges, nothing, bu then temptation challenged my self controll and one thing led to another, I had picked all of those cutesy little stars off, without even a picture to share with the world! Yes, thats another thing about this post, there won't be alot of pictures, of the good ones, 'cause I forgot to take them, MAYBE in the new year I could recreate some of them? I only said maybe!

The next one I'm going to feature is my current design (THAT HASN'T FAILED!) It is basically just a bright red, with little diamantes covering two nails per hand, I just think it's so simple and Christmassy, you can't go wrong! The picture I am going to feature, is one that was taken just before I had tidied it up (I'm a messy painter, sorry.) Also the bad thing is now, that I have had that particular design for a while, four days, I think? When I was doing the vacuuming, I managed to lose a whole nail, seriously, I must have rubbed it on something without letting it dry properly, and the nailvarnish came off, taking the diamantes with it!

 

 

These ones were a total fail, it was an attempt at a cute tartan that I tried the other day, and all of the lines were too chunky and it basically just looked horrid! Though I did take a picture for your satisfaction, and for my humiliation here you go:

 

 PLEASE DON'T LAUGH AT ME!

 



So that is all I have time for! SORRY! Last of Blogmas coming up soon! AGHHH! It hasn't been easy, that's a deadcert! Enough of that, or there won't be anything left for day twenty four! SEE YOU SOOOOOOOOON!

BLOGMAS DAY TWENTY-TWO: NOVEMBER FAVOURITES!

IT'S NEARLY CHRISTMAS! And as it's now December we thought it was only fair to share our November favourites! It's a bit late into this month but oh well!

BEAUTY:

Amy:

Clinique Foaming Cleanser. I love this, its so easy to use, and it gets rid of your make up really quick and easily! Also it's a lovely pearly colour as well!

I'VE FOUND A NEW HAND CREAM! So as some of you may know, I have a wee obsession with these products. It's really hard to find a good handcream, non greasy, quick absorbing, and that actually works, but I have! Drum roll please... MANDARA SPA! I have one by this brand and I love it, it fits all of the criteria and it also has a hint of an almondy scent! top marks!

Elemis Lip Repar. This is such a good product, it has a minty scent, and has these little micro particals, which kind of act as a scrub, love this!

Megan:

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder.

Okay, so I finally purchased this after hearing good things about it from so many people. Although the packaging isn't the best, the product inside is amazing! It does exactly what you need it to do - set your make-up, which it does really well! My make-up now stays out for the entire day and still looks good at the end of the day. It's doesn't dry out my skin or stick to any parts of my face, I can tell that I will be repurchasing this over and over again.

Neutregena facial wash/mask:

Oh. My. God. I don't have the best skin - I'm quite spotty and get dry skin quite a lot, however since using this 2-in-1 wash/mask, my skin has cleared up so much! I know only have two or three spots and my skin is so soft and smooth! I LOVE it! I use twice a day as a wash, once in the morning before I put on my make-up and then in the evening to take off my make-up (it works as a cleanser). I then use it as a mask at the weekends when I have time to relax or whenever I feel like my skin needs it.

MUSIC:

Amy:

It HAS to be Story Of My Life - One Direction, It's just an AMAZING song, and not just 'cause it's One Direction either! The video is really cute as well! what are your thoughts on it?

Megan:

I have been loving is Ed sheeran so much recently! I've always enjoyed his music but recently I downloaded his whole album and fell completely in love with him and his voice! The lyrics are so deep and meaningful, and he has such a calming voice! He's just purely amazing!

RANDOM:

Amy: REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CUPS - OMG! I love these! they're soo good, I dont even know if I like peanut butter... But these... These are just, mmm.


Megan:

Company magazine:

The first thing I've been loving over the past month is company magazine - It's priced at £2.50 and it sometimes comes with free gifts such as nail varnish. It's always on trend and has some great material. The writers are funny, witty and intelligent and write about various subjects - good value for money!

Cardiff:

As you know, I recently went to Cardiff (photo diary up soon - I promise!) and it was absolutely amazing! I went there a few years ago but I didn't get a chance to visit the city centre. However, this time I spent a day and a half just wondering around the city centre - it's any shoppers dream! It doesn't get too busy, everything is close together, there are lots of cute cafés but most importantly, there are so many shops! House of Fraser, Topshop, Hollister, Superdry, H&M, New Look, Dorothy Perkins, John Lewis...the list is endless! I will definitely be going back soon!

Halls throat sweets:

Whilst I was in Cardiff, I developed a horrible cold and could hardly speak so I purchased some halls throat sweets - they literally saved my life! I was back to normal within two days. Although they don't have the best taste, they soothed my throat and cleared my head and nose!

Hope you enjoyed this post, what things did you enjoy in November?

BLOGMAS DAY TWENTY-ONE: FEELING HAPPY!

So this is a bit of a random post today but I didn't know what to write about so I decided to tell all you guys about certain aspects of my life that are starting to look up! For a while I've been very stressed due to school work and family and friend issues, but recently things have turned around a lot!

1: School

School has now finished as its the Christmas holiday's (eek) but I finally feel like I'm on top of everything. All the exams I've recently had, I feel like I've done well and any results I've got have been B+! I don't mean to blow my own trumpet but I am quite proud of myself and hope that over the next year and a half I can keep it up!

2: Friends

For some reason, probably because of all the stress at school, I seem to have fallen out with a lot of my friends, but luckily, we've all made up! All the petty little problems that seemed to matter so much to me a few weeks ago, don't matter at all now, and I can now say, I trust every single one of my friends and I really don't know what I'd do without them!

3: Family

In the past year, there have been A LOT of issues in my family, but they have all seemed to sort themselves out I the past few weeks and everyone seems to be a lot happier and in the festive spirit so yay! This makes me super happy as I love my family so much and wish them all the best.

4: KATRINA

I don't know if many of you know but one of my best friends (not Amy) moved up to Scotland a few years ago. Her name's Katrina and we've been best friends since we were 7. I went on holiday with her earlier this year and we had so much fun, but I was very sad when I had to leave her :( But now I am so happy as a couple of days ago, I found out that she coming down to Devon for New Years Eve and staying at mine, I'm so excited! She is honestly one of the best people in my life and I don't know what I'd do without her! I'm especially happy as I didn't think I'd be seeing her for a while, being that I we live about 600 miles apart!

So that's all the good things in my life right now and I can finally say and mean it when I do, I'm in such a good place in my life! This year has been quite difficult for me, but I can definitely say that I've come out of it stronger! And on top of all that, Christmas is in four days! YAY!

I hope you enjoyed this slightly different post, I'm going to end it with a quote I find very apt for this subject as, although I feel like everything's falling into place in my life, I know that will be more obstacles to overcome, but that's okay.

'Happiness is a mood, a feeling, a condition, not a destination. It's like being tired or hungry, its not permanent. It come and goes and that's okay, we all struggle sometimes.'
