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!

SORRY!

This is just a short post to say sorry for not uploading, we've been really busy, with school, exams and youtube, yes youtube, I'm just in the middle of uploading a vlog! exciting times, so go check that out when you haved the chance! It includes a wee bit of festivity, if that doesn't tempt you, I don't know what will!

We do have a few posts half done, like October Favourites!

Sorry Guys!

YOUTUBE!

This isn't a normal post, and I know most of you won't really get excited about this post, but then again you won't get excited about another post... Moving on from that embarrassing moment!

This is just a short post to ask your opinion on something!

I want to be a Youtuber, but not really sure when I should start posting videos? I watch A LOT of Youtubers including the likes of: Tanya Burr; Zoella; Pointless Blog; Thatcher Joe; Jim Chapman... The list could go on!

Some people in my year have started Youtubing, and everyone has taken the 'mick' out of them... They were cringy to be honest though! Y'see that's what I'm worried about! Will people be horrible about it? I mean, I wouldn't post it to Facebook or anything, that would be exposing myself to all sorts of hate!

I actually found out recently that a few of my friends also want to do Youtubing, and some of the girls want to do Blogging as well, and you know when you have the competitive instinct to want to beat them? Be better than them, that feeling came flooding to me, they're lovely though, and would probably be better than me anyway... Ah well!

If I were to start posting videos NOW I wouldn't tell anyone, and I'm not sure whether I should wait at least a year until this Blog gets better, giving me more leeway and making it easier?

Please help me?

GO TO BED WITH ME! (Amy)

'Aya (In the best Yorkshire accent) So for this post I decided to show you my Bed-Time routine! It's nothing special, but ah well!

So first I hop in the shower, I love taking showers, as they're all warm! I spend about 30 seconds just stood there, letting the water consume me! C'mon, don't deny it!
Once I'm all warm, I wash my hair! See, I have quite long hair and its such a pain, especially when its knotty, I don't bother using conditioner, I probably should, but it just takes forever to wash out! Or, it just feels like it does... So I just shampoo it, and move on!

I then move on to my body, I have been using a Soap And Glory shower creme recently, just as I got it in a set and wanted to try it, and its so cute and diddy! Shower jel doesn't really excite me, I just use it, if I had to buy one though, I would co on smell and a creamy texture, and this one has both!

Yes, that's my laptop! - Soap and Glory, Clean On Me

After that I move on to shaving, I don't know whether anyone else does it like this, but what I do, is get soap, I have this really cute one out of a set, its in the shape of a duck and is really cute! Anyway, I get my soap, and a shower scrunchy thingy, and I get them both wet, and transfer the foam on to the scrunchy and I then like squishy it on to my legs or wherever, and go from there! Y'see, I'm to indie for shaving foam, I make my own, haha, no.

 

How Cute?!

Before you jump to conclusions, no, I don't have an obsession with ducks!

 

I don't always do it in this order, but I use a face wash/scrub, I'm currently using a SOAP AND GLORY Face Soap And Glory, it has a nice smell, and it has mini pink balls in it!

Soap And Glory, Face Soap And Clarity. I really need to clean my bathroom...

 

I then move on to cleansing, I am currently using a CLINIQUE Foaming Cleanser, its lovely, and leaves my skin feeling fresh! The sad part is that, I'm running out... NO!

Clinique - Foaming Cleanser, A godsend!

 

I'm then done in the shower, and dry off and snuggle up in some PJ's!

Yes, this IS from our Haven post!

 

I then apply my toner, I'm currently using a CHAMPENEYS toner, and it has a lovely scent, its leaves my skin feeling lovely!

Champneys - Skin Conditioning Gentle Toner.

 

I then moisturise! I'm using a T-ZONE one, so its reaaaaaally cheap, I actually got it from the 99p shop, and I got is as it said 'Skin Clearing' and I have quite problem skin, it got to work after a week, and after a few months its stopped working with spots, but I carry on using it anyway, 'cause y'know, why not?

T-ZONE - Skin Clearing Face Moisturiser.

 

I then use body butter or creme! I'm loving the SOAP AND GLORY The Righteous Butter its lovely! and smells WONDERFUL!

SOAP AND GLORY - THE RIGHTEOUS BUTTER.

 

I then, if I can be bothered, pluck my brows, but from a lot of the pictures of me, you can see I really can't be bothered most of the time! I'm a lazy person!

At some point before I go to bed I have a Cuppa, y'see, I'm a bog standard English Woman, and I LOVE (with a passion) a good Cuppa, well, I don't like Earl Grey, Funny Story. Well, not so Funny, anyway! Megan has Earl Grey at her house, and its got to the point where I need to bring my own Tea Bags, but I always forget, so I'm stuck with Earl Grey, did ya know, that they smell like Washing Up Liquid, yeah, the scent puts me off! Back to routine! I love a good Cuppa, or even a Hot Chocolate, I'm not a Coffee Girl, I wish I liked it! I'M WORKING ON IT!

 

One Sugar, and a hint of milk!

 

I also, can't be bothered to dry my hair, so I just scrape it beck before bed!

DONT FORGET TO BRUSH YOUR TEETH!

 

PINK!

Also, I have to wear my Retainer! Wouldn't want wonky teeth again!

 

Once again: PINK, AND SPARKLY!

 

So I snuggle up in bed, with my hair scraped back, and drift off into my beauty sleep, I wish! I need it!

NIGHT!

Amy

 

HAVEN! (Amy)

Hey! So this Sunday it's our first 'solo' post, this is because I have just come back from Haven, and Megan goes to Cardiff tomorrow, so she will do Thursdays post!

In this post, I shall be just sharing my Holiday with you! As you know I went to a Haven Holiday Park in Cornwall, I went to the Riviere Sands one and it was great fun, we went with my my Step Mum's Brother and his family who is currently occupying my bedroom so I have to share with my Sister for a week while he stays with us... He drives me up the wall, and Megan's in Cardiff so I have no one to see all week, why is everyone on holiday?! Elley's in Haven too...
This post is going to be more like a journal, posting as it happens, nothing like usual! With daily OOTD's! Hope you like it!

DAY 1 (Journey!);

The drive to the resort was quite long, but it soon flew by as I heard Story Of My Life for the first time! Have you ever had that moment when you're getting really emotional and into a song when you drive past a burning lorry? Well, I have, I have to say, it wasn't the most thrilling moment of my life, I just hope everyone was okay! So the journey was around 2 hours, so yeah, it dragged! I will attach below a picture of my cosy travelling clothes, and yes, it is my Christmas jumper, and please bear in mind the fact that my makeup was still on after a LONG say at school, I think it stayed on pretty well! Also, the flash is on, that's why there is a white patch on my fore head! So when we got to the holiday park we got dinner! YAY! FOOD! We then took it back to the Caravan and sat 'cosily' and ate, I say 'cosily' as there is a 6 person family, and a 3 person family joined into a single caravan! But then we ate cake, so all good! Sadly I had to share a room with my Sister... But I didn't really care until I found out there was only. One. Plug. What?! I will also share a pic of our room below! Megan's is all the messy stuff! Mine's the one on the right! We were in bed for like half 11.

 

My Make up only looks this bad 'cause its been on for 10 hours, kay?

 

Leggings & an old Christmas Jumper, I look Tall Here...

Mine's the right one!



DAY 2;

I woke up around 9 to the smell of cooking bacon, once I had eaten my fry up, I sat for about half an hour in my room with Story Of My Life on repeat, once I had finally got ready we (Me, 3 Sisters and our Cousin) went down to the clubhouse and I tried too hard to take a decent OOTD, but failed miserably, as the lighting was wrong, and everyone kept photo bombing it... Also, my camera kept cutting out... So we then took a walk to the beach [picture below]. We walked through the beach and through Hayle town, it was a lovely walk, we then went to cute little cafe called Roosters and had lunch, I ordered a portion of chips and a lemonade, we then walked back through the beach and to the Haven resort. It was a bit nippy so I was constantly applying hand cream and lip balm! I have a new favourite hand cream, you can read about it when we upload our October Favourites post, in a week or so!

OOTD- Burgandy Jeans, White Blouse, Crop Top, and Patterned Cardi!

 

The Pretty beach!

So, anyway, when we got back we had a cuppa and went to TESCO, I love TESCO at this time of year as there's loads Christmassy things, so I spent the whole time taking pictures and Whatsapping them to Megan! (As you can see, I don't have snapchat) I found the. Glade Christmas candle she has and its absolutely amazing! I want one! Just to ruin the mood though, I found the TESCO magazine, and it had a pumpkin on the front, I mean, who does that?! I was really annoyed it wasn't Christmassy...

 Glade Scented Candle, Reigndeer Socks, Reeses Snowman, Santa Socks, Christmassy DAIRY MILK, and that dissapointing TESCO mag!

I'm not going to lie, but dinner was amazing! In TESCO, my Daddy bought loads of crackers, a cooked chicken and a a lot of foreign cheese, so for my tea I had way to many crackers, a lot of chicken, and a roll! It was lovely! I don't like cheese, but I think he bought Brie, Boursan, and a few others, for pudding was a Halloween cupcake [picture below] it was yummy!

Yumy, a chocolatey cupcake!

 

After dinner, and a lot of relaxing, we went down to the club. I have to be truthful, the entertainers are always rubbish! Like seriously, you can't sing! Right, rant over! Now, when it gets to the arcades, the 2p machines win me over, I'm like obsessed with them! They are so addictive! I end up wasting all my money on them, and this was no Exception. Every year, we come to Haven and in our house, we have a large jar in which we save up all of our coppers, and they are then split between the four of us, and my share was gone within 5 minutes, am I the only one who gets this problem?

My Weakness!

The 'Fun Stars' Slaughtered Dirty Dancing, like what?! I'm not a horrible person, but bad singers, who sing professionally, just no. I was ringing Megan throughout, complaining about their singing! I was on the phone to her for a few hours, helping her pack for Cardiff! Do you remember Lucy Jones? The one off of X Factor 4 years ago, with Jedward? Well, she was performing that night, and not going to lie, she was really good! And a BIG improvement on the previous singer! She sung; On My Own, Empire State Of Mind, Price Tag, Somebody To Love, Will Always Love You, and some others I can't remember! And was genuinely really good!
After her performance was over, we went home, I had a mug of hot chocolate, and went to bed for 12:15!
It was a really good day! And for those of you that care, I will add a pic of my pj's!

 PJ'S- Leopard Print Bottoms, and a Black Top!

My feet look really weird here? BUT FLUFFY SOCKS! OMG, i'm like obsessed with these!

DAY 3;
I woke up at around 10 with a treat for no breakfast if I didn't get up, safe to say I shot out of bed as though my life was dependent on it! After breakfast, it was 'Eggy Bread', there was four girls and my Dad for the shower, so I didn't get in till 11, and I hate caravan showers, they're always rubbish, and cold! I was making weird grunty noises as the water was hitting me, I made sure I was a quick as possible, I didn't want to waste much time, in there, freezing cold!
After everyone was done, the other Family we came with were here, and my Sister decided to start criticising me about how much make up I was wearing, which wasn't even that much, and the I looked like a 'cancer patient' which I thought was really insensitive.

 OOTD - Palm Tree Tee, with lacy sides, and Highwasted, supposed-to-be, Skinny Jeans!

I don't look like a cancer patient do I? Messy Bun, For The Win!

After we had eaten lunch, left overs from last night, and more cake, we decided to go into Truro! It was either there or St Ives, not going to lie, St Ives is lovely, but in bad weather its not enjoyable! So I wrapped up warm!

I'm not a 'Believer' 'twas a free phone case!

After we were finished in Truro, we went to Portreath Beach, in the freezing cold, in the raging winds, we didn't stay there long though, and came back to the campsite and got chips, yummy! We then watched some odd cartoon Halloween film, it was hilarious, some kid kept going on about how he kissed a girl, and some girl hugged them, and wished them luck on puberty, who does that?! After that we watched Ghost Busters, but it didn't really attract me as I was too busy writing this! Its not a very good film anyway! Also, I was attempting to get hold of Megan, but the storms were so bad, it kept cutting out!
We went down to the club in time for Rock n Roll bingo!
After bingo, we sadly lost, only 3 away from winning! We went into the arcades and wasted even more money! Yay!

Rock n Roll Bingo!



We then went outside and braved the rain, to attempt Buffy moves on the play area, and failing, by getting stuck, awkward! Also, me & Ben found a tyre swing and took it in turns to push each other, whilst blasting Best Song Ever, yay!

Obvs, my phone was'nt on a good setting for this!

After that we went back into the club for a few hours, then we went home for about 11, It was so cold I had to take extra precautions for the cold! I had a Hot Chocolate and was off for bed! For about half past!

Trying to keep the warmth in!

DAY FOUR! (Home);

I woke up really early, I was awake for 8! So as we had to be out of the Caravan for 10, I decided it wasn't best to go back to sleep! I went to bathroom and got changed, but it was still cold! And the storm was still going! All yesterday, and all night, and all today? What?!

 OOTD - White Blouse, Crop Top, Highwaisted Skinnies, and a patterned Cardi! Make up free, so wont post one of my face! Wouldn't want to scare you!

We left the Caravan Park for around half 10, and were on our way home!
It was a quiet (quite [Private Joke]) journey home as everyone was sleeping, apart from me, I was trolling through the Internet, trying to get a relief from my boredom! Nothing worked!
We were home for around 1 ish, and I have to say, being the idiot I am, I didn't realise today was Monday, so I was going to post late... Am I seriously that stupid, also, I was texting Megan and asked her if you needed a passport to get to Cardiff, in which she replied 'no...', I could imagine her laughing down the phone at me...

So that was my Haven post, wasn't very interesting, and I have to say, wasn't my best work, but ah well, be expecting a Cardiff post from Megan, with bits from the 'Doctor Who Experience' she likes that sort of stuff!
See you soon!
