BLOGMAS DAY SEVEN: WRAPPING PRESENTS!

OMG! It's nearly Christmas it's December 7th! Whats t do now?  Wrap presents! Yay! I love wrapping presents actually, you could say it's a hobby of mine... I don't know why, I just do! This year I am using 2 really cute rolls, and 1 not-so-cute roll that my Sister picked out! I have quite a few presents to wrap, though I haven't even gotten everything yet... I have:

6 Mini selection boxes;
6 Mini Roses boxes;
6 Christmas pencils;
2 Jar candles;
1 LYNX set;
1 Glade candle;
5 Nail varnishes;
1 Shower gel;
1 Deodorant (roll on);
1 Deodorant (spray);
1 Bubble bath;
2 Body sprays;
3 Filled mugs;
1 Terry's Chocolate Orange;
3 Pairs of baby socks
1 Christmas bib;
3 Photo baubles.

And some more that I can't be bothered to list... This was just what I could see and remember!

I'm going to put the pencils and selection boxes together, as there is no reason to wrap a pencil separately, is there? Here's some pictures:

Yay! So that's Blogmas day 7 done and dusted, I WILL see you the day after tomorrow! Don't be late, or else I will have to hunt you down and... I wont go into the gory details... Haha. JUST KIDDING! I wouldn't do that! Just make sure you pop back every day until Christmas for a new post, and tell your: Friends; Family; Pets; Strangers on the street for all we care!

BU-BYEEE!

BLOGMAS DAY SIX: 5 SIMPLE WAYS TO IMPROVE FESTIVITY!

Hey There! DAY 6, WHAT?! Today's is going to be a bit different too, like yesterday, we will be doing a joint post! On how to do a few, five to be exact, little things to make your room/house look/feel a little more festive! Yay! These things do NOT cost a bomb and are super easy to get hold of! This time of year, you can get these five things form almost any store! Send us links in the comments to your blog, or pictures of your room that has a little bit of these things in!

1-    FAIRY LIGHTS! We are both obsessed with these and they improve festivity by nearly 100%, just drape these over curtains, along ceilings etc. To push the room even more festive, use warm white lights as these make things even cosier! Also, if your fairy lights can, set them to the twinkle setting, that’ll do the trick! Twinkling fairy lights always remind us of Christmas!

2-    HANG CARDS ON STRING! What do you do with the Christmas cards you receive from your friends/family? Well how about hanging them on string/yarn and draping them across the ceiling/wall? This will look SO much better than crowding them all onto the mantelpiece or sticking them all over the doors.

3-    CANDLES! We can’t stress how much we love these things! These are essential in any festive home! They are so cute! For extra points, buy a festive scented candle, we know Yankee Candles and Glade do some amazing Christmassy smells! BUT, you HAVE to be careful with fire remember! And don’t use if your parents don’t allow it, I know that Amy’s don’t allow candles in bedrooms, cause she’ll set the house on fire, and knowing her, she probably would! If you are allowed, then GO FOR IT!

4-    BLANKETS&CUSHIONS! Awh, nothing better than cuddling up under a festive blanket! And its perfect in the winter! Even better if they're super festive colours such as red, green, burgundy etc. These definitely make everything more Christmassy and more comfy! Cuddle up in these while you write your Christmas lists, or even your new years resolution!

5- TINSEL! You've got to love this stuff! So draping surfaces in this sparkly wonder will not only make your room look festive, but also reflect light making it sparkle! You can get all kinds of colours and themes and tinsel is SUPER cheap this time of year and you can get it almost anywhere! Even in Pound land!

So! here were 5 very simple ways to make you feel more festive this month! (and look it!) why don't you tell us in the comments what decor you have this Christmas, and when you put your Christmas Tree up, Every one has different days! Mine (Amy) is really sad, the day we break up from school, so the 20th...

We love hearing from you guys!

AUTUMN ESSENTIALS!

Autumns here, what does this tell you? CHRISTMAS IS NEARLY HERE! No, but seriously, its cold! A lot of people will be changing their handbag essentials, and clothing buys for the autumn! In this post, we will be giving you a heads up on what you should grab!

In summer, you will have (hopefully) got a tan, we didn't, and you might want to  keep that tan for longer, to give you a healthier look in the colder seasons! To prolong your tan, we would suggest moisturising your body/face, don't use the same product for both, unless it says too, most body creams/butters/lotions are  harsh to the delicate facial skin and will result in spots, not what you want.. We would suggest using The Body Shop, Shea Whip Body Moisturiser for your body, this formula is lightweight and easy absorbing, and the Shea butter scent is Divine! For the face we would suggest Simple Kind To Skin Replenishing Rich Moisturiser, it's fast absorbing and easy to apply, in a handy squeezy bottle!

It's getting colder, and its cold season, so we would suggest keeping a handy pack of tissues in your bag! these will always come in handy, if you have got the sniffles and/or a runny nose you have always got them handy! You can get these from anywhere, really cheap, so stock up for the Autumn/Winter!

Also keeping hand sanitiser with you at all times, especially if you're on the tube/train you don't know who've touched the railings! This will give you another barrier between you and that dreaded cold! You can get this from pretty much anywhere, even Primark!

Another is hand cream! As the weather gets colder your hands get more damaged, and chapped, so keeping a bottle/tube handy is an essential! We would suggest using the NIVEA Smooth Nourishing Hand Cream Anti-Dryness, you will have read about my (Amy) love for this in our September Favourites post, love this! You can probably get it at any drug store!

LIP BALM, this is brilliant, your lips will get cold, dry and chapped, and how do you prevent this? With lip balm! An essential in any Autumn/Winter handbag, or to be honest, all. year. round, i love lip balm, and have a weird obsession with it, i would recommend the Philosophy Hope In A Stick once again this was featured in our September Favourites so you can read about my obsession with this godsend!

We would also recommend wrapping up in cute scarfs/gloves/hats! You can get some really cute, thick knitted ones in Primark, deep colours like Burgundy are in, and also black and greys are in! Wrapping up in thick knitted gear is so cute, and warm! Yay!

Comment your essentials below, and what you want to see us do! Or blog about! We look forward to hearing from you!
