MERRY CHRISTMAS

So I guess we kind of failed the whole blogmas thing.. there's always next year, eh? Anyway, we just wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and we hope that you get what you wished for and have a fab day!

Lots of love,

BLOGMAS DAY EIGHT: LIST OF THINGS I WON'T EVER OWN ENTITLED 'WISHLIST'

Everyone has a few things they wish for over Christmas, don't they? What I have done is I made an online wishlist at Wishlistr, it is super easy and you can add links to everything you want! I have found that this way, I can give the link to my Mother as she was stuck for what to get me for Christmas! I also will find it satisfying to cross things off if they're received as gifts or if I buy them.

Samsung Galaxy S5 
I have had a Blackberry for two years now and it just doesn't do what I would like it to do! This phone is my dream phone as I just think it is stunning and does everything you could want and more! I know this is a rather expensive presents and I've never asked for something so expensive before which is why I do not expect I would get one. Though. if I open this present, I may cry...

A new coat
There are so many coats I want!! From Black to Camel to Grey... I want them all! I really like the 'Coocoon' style at the moment, along with the 'Boyfriend' and maybe throw in a biker jacket, eh? I am most likely not going to get any, so in the sales I'm going to have to pick up a couple aren't I?

Chunky Heeled Chelsea Boots 
Chelsea Boots go with almost everything and are a staple I do not currently own, as I love chunky heels, then it makes sense to mix the two together... These two make the perfect pair of boots and Newlook sell them for as little as £24.99!

Onesie
I have never owned a onesie and I feel deprived, there are so many I want but this one is just adorable! I always get Pyjamas in my stocking so maybe I'll get a onesie this year!

Real Techniques Brushes
I currently only own two, I want to build my collection up, I want the Powder Brush, Core Collection, Eye Starter Kit and the Lash-Brow Groomer. After that I can start to get more and more until I have them all, Wooo!

MUA LUXE
I have to say, their products aren't exactly renowned for their quality, but I have heard great things about the LUXEs. With high staying-power and pigmentation, leaving a matte finish they're everything I've been looking for in life. For £3, you can't go wrong, can you? I may buy myself the whole collection as there isn't a shade I don't like!

So they're just a few of the things, some on my Wishlistr, some not!

What are you hoping for this year?

BLOGMAS DAY FIVE: FAVOURITE CHRISTMAS FILMS

Christmas films: you either love them or you hate them. I, personally, love them, they're so happy and everything ends happily! What more do you want for the supposed 'season to be merry'. Some of my favourites have to be:

Annabelle's Wish 
For those of you who have not watched this film, it is basically based around the old legend that Santa Claus gives animals the ability to speak on Christmas Eve. Annabelle is born on Christmas Eve and upon meeting Santa she is fascinated by the Reindeer and their abilities to fly. She befriends the Farmer's Grandson who is mute due to a fire on the farm. When Annabelle gives up her ability to speak, Billy gets it permanently. When Billy marries, Annabelle's wish is granted, she is now one of Santa's Reindeer and re-gains her ability to speak in the process. I love this film because it is just so warming and it was always my favourite growing up! I remember owning it on video and getting so excited when watching it!

It's a Wonderful Life
I haven't actually watched this for years so am a little unsure of the plot off the top of my head. I just remember my Mum loving it, and one year my Brother buying her the black & white and coloured version... I watched it and soon came to realise why my Mother loved it so much!

Home Alone 1&2
I just love these with with MC in, I feel that when they changed the characters it kind of lost it's touch a bit. It always confuses me as to how you can leave a child at home, and to then do the same thing again? You should learn from your mistakes!!! Rant over, I just love this film and it always makes me laugh...

The Holiday 
This has to be the cutest film! I actually only first watched it fully a few months ago, but I'm so glad I did! It's just so cosy and makes you jealous as to why you don't live in such a cute cottage at this time of year! Dammit life.

Serendipity 
I only watched this for the first time the other month, but it is so cute! It makes you annoyed slightly though, as to how close they are to each other, yet keep missing one another. It contains all the stereotypical things to do in the Holiday's puts you in a rather festive mood.

I have many more, I just can't put my finger on them right now! What are your favourite Christmas films then?

P.s. Sorry this is a tad late, completely forgot!!!

INTRODUCTION TO BLOGMAS

It's that time of the year again! Wooopwooop, I don't think I can explain how happy that makes me!

So for this year's Blogmas we have a basic schedule that I would leak to you, but then again we're going to end up not sticking to it, so I feel it would be a waste and letting ourselves down, like, if we keep it to ourselves we can pretend we haven't failed, but when it's exposed, well, then it gets bad.

We will try and keep alternating with posts like last year, with the occasional joint post!

Is there anything in particular you would want to see? Whether it be a makeup tutorial or a baking post? Ideas welcome below or you can always tweet us etc!

Thankyou and Merry Christmas

DECEMBER FAVOURITES!

Aloha beautiful people! It's December faves time! (cue for cheers). I don't really know what else to introduce it by? Let's just start!

AMY:

Beauty:

Clearasil Perfecta Wash - I've been buzzing about this to EVERYONE! Its so cool! Its basically a face wash/cleanser, and its in a machine, and its automatic! And awesome! I love it! It does dispense the 'perfect amount' of face wash and works in removing your makeup, it also says that its 'daily clear' I'm assuming that means that it fights break outs? Or clears skin? I'm not exactly spot free, but I do have a significant amount of less spots! I still have quite a few though, I'm not saying this thing is a miracle worker! Haha! When I googled this, it said it was around the £12 mark, but I got mine for £3! WITH BATTERIES! The refills are £2! That comes with 100 doses! BARGAIN! That was from Savers, branch here in the UK (at least, I think its only in UK...)

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder - I had heard loads of great things from loads of my beauty guru's, and then Megan bought it, so I used it a few times off of her, and I liked it then! I was in dire need of a powder anyway, as I have oily skin, and the foundation I was using was only a cheap one, so it was very shiny too, that didn't help matters, since I've bought this, it had transformed my face, no over exaggeration, and it lasts five hours too! I'm so so SO pleased with this buy! When I bought this all of the Translucent was gone, so I bought mine in 03Peach Glow, its still so good, and doesn't make that much difference to my skin tone either! Definite buy, so affordable too! Only £4! BUY NOW!

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation - Yes, more Rimmel, in fact they had a 3 for 2 on Rimmel in Boots, how could I resist? This was also one that I had heard from Beauty Guru's of mine, and also, I had it about a year ago, so I already knew I liked it! It was just a matter of rekindling that love! This foundation is great, it doesn't cake, and stays put! Great! The only fault was that the colours aren't too great, last time I had this, I got the Light Porcelain, and that was FAR too light, white almost, so I bought the shade up True Ivory, and its a wee bit too warm me thinks! But this is a definite for any makeup bag! As its drug store makeup, its cheap! So good for a budget makeup wearer (like me, I'm always skint) but I also remember Tanya Burr saying that it was similar Nars Sheer Glow, so maybe even perfect for you High End people! Buy, Buy, BUY!

Food:

Mince Pies - These were my life, and probably a total Cliche for a December Favourites post, but seriously! So yummy! If you know me, you will know that I eat A LOT, and these were no exception! In fact, I've been told that while people eat, they think of me, hm... A lot of people don't like them WHY?! But I like dried fruit, especially dried apricots, I don't know why I'm talking about dried apricots now, as I don't even think they're in Mince Pies? Okay I'll shut up now!

Film:

Pretty In Pink - this is an 80's film and it just great, I first watched it in December and I like fell in love with it, omg. Its just amazing, if you haven't watched it, watch it. I like those sort of films anyway, and I like the old films: Dirty Dancing, Pretty Woman etc... Ermagherrd, it's so good!

MEGAN:

Beauty:

Lancome Hydrogen Moisturiser - During December I had only one beauty favourite and that is the French make up band, Lancome's, highly recommended moisturiser - Hydrogen! I can safely say it is the best moisturiser i have ever tried out, it absorbs easily, you don't need too much and it keeps your skin looking healthy and feeling healthy.

Food:

Cheese - This one's a bit weird, but for some unknown reason, over Christmas, I ate so much cheese! I especially like Blacksticks Blue. Cheese is great with grapes, apples, crackers or even just bread! Mmmm.

Film:

Elf - DUH! If you haven't watched this film then i suggest that you go and watch it right this minute as it is, without a doubt, the best Christmas film I have ever watched! It's hilarious, unique and good for the whole family! The storyline is unlike any other, and, above all, it's super Christmassy! I enjoyed sitting down in the evening with the Christmas tree lights and a nice cup of mulled wine and watching Elf - can you think of anything better?!

So that's the end of our december favourites - what are some of the things that you enjoyed during December? Tell us in the comments!

TOP FIVE CHRISTMAS PRESENTS!

Aloha beautiful people! HAPPY NEW YEAR! I am back from my Mum's! I had a fabby time, and got round to seeing the whole family and meeting my beautiful niece for the first time! YAY! Today, as it's my first day back, I wanted to post, as its been a week since the last post! I'm sure you coped just fine! Sit pretty as I share with you my top five gifts!

I have been extremely luck as to have received everything on my list (blogmas day three) and am extremely grateful! These five aren't in a particular order, just what I have handy first!

REAL TECHNIQUES BRUSH! YAY! I have been given the Expert face brush from Megan and I'm SO happy! I love it so much it's unreal, so thank you Megannnnnnn!!!

LA VIE EST BELLE! This has to be the nicest perfume I have EVER laid my nose upon, it's a Lancome one and it has a beautiful bottle, and it's just amazing, I had the 30ml bottle, and a mini 5ml bottle, it's so cute! This isn't necessarily a winter fragrance but I don't care, I love it! Thanks Mummy!!!

MIDNIGHT MEMORIES! As you are all fully aware of now, I love One Direction, and I got the Midnight Memories CD for Christmas and I. LOVE. IT. It's topped the other albums, and has that extra bit of edge, which I love! Highly recommend this album! THANKS MUMMY!

So there you have it, my top five gifts, I expect most of you got the new XBOX or iPhone, but tell us anyway what your favourite gift(s) is!

Bu-byeee!

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?

Megan and Amy

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.'

BLOGMAS DAY TWENTY: COSY NIGHT IN!

So yesterday we broke up from school, only having a half day! HURRAH! We then went into town, in the hail and torrential winds, might I add! I was doing the thing that they do in movies, when they spin in the pouring rain, 'twas fun! Also, we found BIG puddles, lakes almost, and I was skidding through them! Bearing in mind, I was wearing tights, that 'twas also fun! WE SAW A DOUBLE RAINBOW! Now that's a story! It was beautifulllllllll!

When I went home I decide it was best to have a cosy night so I went to run me-self a bath! I decided to go all out with my bath contents! I used bath caviar (pink) and bath salts (also pink), I then used Melting bath roses, that were lovely, and topped it with fake rose petals! It was lovely!

 

What bath is complete without a Rubber Duck?

 

 

After my moderately long bath, I decided on having a scrummy Hot Chocolate in my new Christmas mug! I got this filled with sweets from Elley! YAY!

 

 

YAY! I also had my new Christmas socks from Abbie too!

 

YOU LIKEEEE?

 

I think it's safe to say I was all cosy when I went to bed last night!

 

Sorry this isn't the most exciting Blogmas episode! Tell us in the comments what you would like to see us do in the future? THANKYOUUU!

BLOGMAS SAY NINETEEN: CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS!

Hello! Just a quick post to show you some of my Christmas decorations! As you all know I LOVE Christmas so I love making everything super Christmassy!

I hope you like them! What do your decorations look like? 

Megan

BLOGMAS DAY EIGHTEEN: UPDATED WINTER MAKEUP TUTORIAL!

SO THEN! I know I did this same post a week or two ago, but it seemes that as soon as I posted that, I ditched the eyeshadow, and just changed my look really! Also, I realised how bad it looked, and those pictures weren't the most flattering, were they! Also, this will be a mix between getting ready for the Christmas Concert, do the pictures may alternate between School Uniform and my PJs!

As you will know, on my Christmas haul post, I had bought myself some new make up, hurrah! Thank god too, as my colours were all wrong, and I didn't have any power to set, that oily mess! So hopefully, todays will be a huge improvement, tell me in the comments, ye?

BASE:

For the base to my look, I use Rimmel Match Perfection in 103: True Ivory, I love this soo much! I then powder up with the Rimmel Stay Matte, When I went to buy this, they didn't have any Translucent left, so I bought it in Peach Glow instead!

 

 



EYES:

So, I do still wear eye shadow, just a light, shimmery one that Megan gave me! I've now gone for eyeliner, which started simple, and has now erupted into something a little more dramatic, but its like a disease, I can't get rid of it! It's a habit now!

Don't worry, after this pic, I did fill in that awful gap!

 

MASCARA! I don't really know why I didn't put this under the eye section, and to be honest, I can't be bothered to change it now, so I'm just gonna go with the flow!

 

SEE! I TOLD YOU IT WOULD CHANGE!

 

 

BRONZER:

 

Now, I don't usually do bronzer anymore (as you can see from the picture above) but for the Christmas Concert I did, lightly!

 

 WOAH! My nose looks hige here, ah well!

 



So, thats my tutorial done! D'ya like it? I do sometimes steal a nice lipsick off of Megan when she brings it into school, but I tend not to buy lipsicks! Sticking to the balm! Haha! Do send us links to your own Blogmases! I shall see YOU soon! Bubye!

Amy

(omg, I couldn't get it off of bold!)

BLOGMAS DAY SEVENTEEN: CHRISTMAS CONCERT!

Hera guys, this is just gonna be a super short post as I am sooooooo tired! I literally just got back from our school's Christmas concert! It was so much fun!

Me and Amy are both in choir, in which we performed many songs, including All I want for Christmas is you, Let it snow, Deck the halls, Hallelujah and our own little Christmas medley! We also had our own solo song that we sang; Warm this winter, by Gabriella Cilmi.

It's safe to say that the past two days have been extremely stressful for the both us! We had to rehearse for choir, our own solo song AND I had to finish my science exam today! I've been so busy I haven't eaten yet, which is quite bad...oh well. 

Even though we were very nervous, we got up on stage and performed and I, personally, think it went great, I was a bit out of time at the start, but other than that, it was good considering how much we were both shaking when we walked on stage!

I had a really fun night, everyone was in really good moods and singing Christmassy songs and got me in the festive spirit!

Sorry about this short post! Hope you enjoyed it,

Megan

BLOGMAS DAY FIFTEEN: MEETING FATHER CHRISTMAS!

Hello! Today's post I'm going to tell you what I've done today, as you can probably guess from the title, it was very exciting! I met Santa! I really shouldn't be so excited about that, being that I'm 14 and all but, hey, who cares, right? It's Christmas, if you can't be childish then, when can you be?!

I woke up at 8:30 (ugh) which was definitely the worse part of the day as I am a firm believer that Sunday's are lie in days, I wasn't happy. We were up and out of the door by 9:30 as we had to go and pick up my eldest sister, my baby niece Ivy and my nephew Brandon. Once we had crammed everyone into the car we were off! (Just to let you know, the event where you could meet Santa was at a local department store, I'm not going to say where, security reasons and all!)

Unfortunately it was pouring down with rain so we had to wait outside for them to open the doors in a mini storm - fun times! When they had finally let us in, each family were given table names and then shown to our seats. At the tables, there were Christmassy drawings to colour in, party popper, crackers, balloons etc. There was no way you could be bored!

We then got to choose what we had for breakfast - I had pancakes with blueberries and raspberries on top, it was delicious! After finishing our breakfasts, Father Christmas made an appearance! He came round to every single table to say hello to the children and to take pictures with them. Brandon, my nephew, was very happy as Father Christmas came to our table first and gave him a present! It's safe to say, Brandon was very happy.

Whilst Father Christmas was saying hello to the rest of the children, a magician came round to each table to entertain them. He did a few magic tricks and then made us a balloon animal hat each, he was actually pretty good!

After that you could choose what you wanted to do, you could either stay at your table and do some colouring, go and make some Christmas decorations with Santa's Elves, or play pin Rudolph's nose back on! There was something for everyone! We did all of these activities and actually had a lot of fun, even if the event was meant for children...

At 12 o'clock it was time to leave and none of the children were very happy about that! But, after a lot of moaning and sighing, we were all in the car ready to go home. We dropped my sister and my niece and nephew home again then headed home ourselves. Since then I have done nothing all day - a day well spent I think!

Thank you for reading!

WE GOT TO 1K!

This isn't Blogmas for today, don't get disappointed! This is just a short post to say thank you! Last night (technically, this morning) we got to 1,000 views on here! That is just CRAZY! We were sat around the iPad refreshing it every 2 seconds, and if you follow us on twitter (in the links tab) you will have seen that we were on 999 for a while, that was stressful! We got there in the end! And when we refreshed it and it was on 1,000, lets just say that we were in pure shock, I actually think my heart stopped, it was so weird that something so little could make us so happy! How many do you think we could get my by the end of January then? We would just like to say that you to all of you that read our little rants, and about our uninteresting lives!

BLOGMAS DAY THIRTEEN: CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS & NEW YEARS ASPIRATIONS!

Heya guys, so for today's post, there's going to be two posts in one as on day eleven my post didn't upload. I hope you enjoy!

Christmas Traditions

CHRISTMAS EVE: 

On Christmas Eve I don't really do much, my mum's usually working s me and my sister will most probably go to my grandparents. Whilst we're there we'll spend the day baking mince pies and sausage rolls with the rest of my family and watching Christmas films or listening to Christmas music - so fun! At about 6 o'clock once my Grandad has gone to work and everyone else has gone home, me, my sister and my grandma walk into town and meet my mum when she has finished work. When we've met up with her, we all go for a hot chocolate in Costa! We then head home, hang up our sacks, leave out some carrots and milk for the reindeers and cherry and cookies for Father Christmas then jump into bed uncharacteristically early! I stay awake until about one ish though as I'm always over excited for Christmas - who isn't?!

CHRISTMAS DAY:

Each year, Christmas is held at a different member of the family's house - last year we hosted Christmas Day (we being me, my sister and my mum) so this year my grandparents are hosting it! I wake up at 6 am, probably earlier then me and my sister go and wake up my mum. We then go sit on my mums bed with our sacks from Santa and open them!

After we've done this we all go downstairs and open our presents from one and other. We then have breakfast and watch a film or Frasier or something like that. We'll then tidy everything up and get ready to go out! Once we're all ready we'll head off!

At my Grandparents house once everyone has arrived, we start opening presents! Then we'll have our Christmas dinner and settle down to play games whilst watching Christmas films and TV! After the Doctor Who Christmas Special has finished everyone goes home to settle down there. Once home we'll watch more Christmas TV, look through our presents and stuff our faces!

So that's my Christmas traditions, what's yours? Tell us in the comments!

New Year's Aspirations 

For next year I don't have many resolutions or aspirations, mainly I want to do well in my GCSE's and I want to make this blog bigger! I would also like to be happier and to have a more positive outlook on life!

So I really don't have many aspirations, but those are the ones I have. What are yours?

Thanks for reading!
