Top 3 at Christmas!

 



Today I though I would share my top 3 films, songs etc. at Christmas time. I felt that Christmas has really crept up on us this year, it really doesn't feel like less than a week to go. Hopefully now school as finished for Christmas I should feel a little more festive.

 

Top 3 Christmas Films

1. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation: This is a tradition in my house at Christmas. I think this film is something that people either love or hate. I think it is being shown on TV on Christmas Eve this year??

2. Elf: My second favourite Christmas song has to be Elf. This is just such a festive and funny film.

3. The Holiday: I watched this film when I was wrapping Christmas presents this year.

 

Top 3 Food at Christmas

1. Christmas Dinner: This really has to go at the top of the list really! Got to love a Christmas roast dinner!!

2. Quality Street: To me Quality Street just 'smells' of Christmas, we have them every year at Christmas time.

3. Bacon Sandwich: In my family it is tradition to have a bacon sandwich on Christmas morning, so it has to reach the top 3!

 

Top 3 Vlogmas Channels

1. Zoella: I love watching Zoe's Vlogmas YouTube videos every year, this year in particular she has put so much effort into Christmas on both her YouTube Channels!

2. Sacconejolys: I love these videos all year, and Christmas is no exception.

3. Emily Canham and Jake Boys: I've been really enjoying the New York vlogs!

 

Top 3 Christmas Songs

1. I wish it could be Christmas everyday: This is a classic, upbeat song that really puts you in a Christmassy mood!

2. Fairy tale of New York: this isn't really the most happy Christmas song but I really like it.

3. All I want for Christmas is you: again this is another classic!

 

Thank you, for reading - Christmas is so close now. Enjoy the rest of the Christmas holidays.

Christmas Sweet Jar

 

Today I'm back with a Christmassy DIY post. This didn't turn out as well as I thought but it just gives you an idea as to what to do. I think this makes a really nice Christmas decoration and you could also make one for a present.

 

You will need: a jar; white paper; black and orange pen and sweets/ chocolate of your choice.

 

Step 1.  Cut your white paper into a strip that will wrap around the jar. Onto this you need to add a carrot nose and eyes. For the eyes I simply drew them but it would also look great with the stick on eyes. As for the nose, use either orange paper/ card or colour in some white paper and roll into a cone shape.

 

Step 2. You now need to fill your jar with the sweets of your choice. I chose Cadbury Dairy Milk Snow Balls to replicate a snowman but you can use what ever you like. Unfortunately I only managed to fill the jar half way as I didn't buy enough sweets...

 

Step 3. I added a final ribbon to the top of the jar.

 

Thank you for reading. Request any Christmassy posts below. Happy December, goodbye.

November Favourites

 



I'd like to start off by apologising for not uploading last weekend; I'm definitely feeling the stress of A-Levels right now... Anyway, I feel like I haven't uploaded a favourites post in a while and I am very excited that it is already December!! I have a feeling that this post is going to be filled with random favourites, I'm just going to write and see what favourites stand out in my mind.

 

One of the things I cannot forget to mention, is the release of One Direction's new album 'Made in the AM'. I was really excited to hear some new music, and it didn't disappoint. I think my favourite songs at are AM and If I could fly - if you have listened to the album let me know in the comments what your favourite song is. I think I also have to mention the return of I'm a celeb, I'm gutted that I can't watch as much as I want to but it is still one of the best shows on TV. Another random favourite has to be the Costa Christmas Caramel Fudge hot chocolate; I was really disappointed that they got rid of the Orange hot chocolate but this is a close second to that.

 

Onto makeup items, I purchased my first Mac Eye shadow recently in Just Pea Just Peach. It is a really pretty pink shade, and if you know me I love these types of colours. I have also been loving my Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in 08. I mentioned this in my last post and it is defiantly a really good quality lipstick with a great colour payoff but it is still really affordable.

 

Sorry again for the lack of posts, I'm really struggling to find enough time to write posts at the moment. See you next time.
