Christmas Markets ft. Joel Grainger

Near where I live is the city Bath and at Christmas they have the markets and they are filled with such beautiful things. Unfortunately I didn't take my big camera to Bath so i had to take some snaps on my iPhone instead also there was so many people shopping in Bath it was almost impossible to get a picture without a random person in it.

Whilst in Bath I heard music and the closer I got the more I fell in love with it. His name is Joel Grainger and he is a violinist. Its usually not the music I listen to but oh my goodness he was amazing. I love finding new artists that I've never before heard.

I think the video above is Cry Me a River, but I can't be sure.

Let me know what you think, I think he is incredible.

Festive Films

Sitting by the fire, sipping on a hot chocolate, watching a Christmas film....now that sounds like my kind of night.
I don't know about you but watching Christmas films is the ultimate way to relax in the Christmas season.
Here are a few of my favourite ones...Love Actually is my ultimate fave but unfortunately I don't own it on DVD.

Elf
Jack Frost
The Polar Express
The 12 Dogs of Christmas
The 12 Dogs of Christmas 2

All of these are family films you can sit and watch, great for children and adults. Love Actually is more for the teenagers and older film lovers rather than the younger ones however is still a great film.
The Polar Express at first really didn't take my fancy but I re-watched it and made it onto my favourite Christmas films.
What's your favourite festive film?

Christmas Tag

Today's post was meant to be a recipe however school got in the way therefore here is a bunch of Christmassy question I shall answer.. Soz to be boring:)

1. What is your favourite Christmas film?

Love Actually or Elf

2. Have you ever had a white Christmas?

As it's the UK we usually get delayed snow, so it's a white January/February, but I think I may have had a white christmas a few years back.

3. Where do you usually spend Christmas?

Usually spend the morning at my house with my family and then at around lunch time go up to my nan's house until late. 

4. What is your favourite Christmas song?

I quite like I wish it could be Christ'as Every Day however I don't really have a favourite. This year I've properly been listening to the good ol' Bublé. 

5. Do you open any gifts on Christmas Eve?

No, never have done. 

6. Is your tree real or fake? 

Our tree isn't actually up yet but it's fake. Real ones make too much mess.

7. Are you a pro wrapper or do you fail miserably?

I like to think I'm a good wrapper, I try and make all gifts look nice but I end up getting bored. I will be posting a wrapping post in a few weeks so you can see.

8. Do you make New Years resolutions?

Yes I do however if you ask me if I stick to them I would say no. I don't think I've completed one of my New Years resolutions from the start of the year but I'm gonna try my best to do them in 2015!

9. When do you think it's acceptable to put up decorations and write christmas cards?

Personally any time after a week into December is perfectly acceptable to put up decorations and the tree however christmas cards, it needs to be a bit longer. Admittedly last year I had my cards written in November but this year as of yet I still need to get them, giving them out I think at least a week before christmas give or take a few days. 

10. When did you start listening to Christmas music? 

November possibly end of October. I'm really into the festive tunes.

This wasn't the most interesting post but I was going to do it anyway I just had to rearrange when and that happened to be today as I don't have my camera with me until tomorrow either. Tomorrow shall be a recipe hopefully.

Let me know what your faves christmas song is:)

Gift Guide for Men

I don't know about you but I find buying gifts for men an absolute nightmare. Whether it be for a dad, brother, boyfriend, best friend, cousin..anyone in your life who is of the male species (if you will).

Usually when you ask a man what they want for Christmas the general reply will be 'I dunno.'  Unless your buying for someone who knows exactly what they want.

I've started my Christmas shopping and so I've decided to share with you some of the things that might give you some ideas as to what to get your loved ones this Christmas.

David Beckham Classic Aftershave

Wash Kit

Lynx - Peace

Chilli Chocolate Pizza

Desktop Ping Pong

Fragrance is a must, I mean they might think you're trying to tell them something but trust me it is definitely a good gift. The one I've chosen is the David Beckham Classic, I smelt a few different but this one smells the best and if a girl likes them smell of it then they should be fine haha. Again for someone who likes to travel, a wash set with travel size products is perfect and the bag will be useful for travelling.
Lynx, more fragrance I know but you can't really go wrong with it can you?
Maybe for someone with a bit of humour this next one fits great. My brother always says how he eats the hottest chillies and stuff so this will be great for him but on the milder side how about a chilli chocolate pizza to tickle their taste buds.
And finally to bring out the inner child if you're giving to an adult, a desktop ping pong set, not going to lie if I received this I would be so happy. I love table tennis so this would be great.

I hope this helped give you a few ideas, happy shopping,

December Is Here

I know, it's been a ridiculous amount of time since I've last blogged. But I've decided I'm going to blog everyday until christmas. Kinda like blogmas, if that's a thing. 

I'll be posting a recipe at some point this week and I'll post about christmas decorations once I've got round to putting them up. Christmas outfits and maybe some hair and makeup ideas; we'll see. I might throw in a gift guide as well.

Christmas is my favourite time of the year, it's so festive and so family orientated. 

I'll be off for now but the first post will be up tomorrow,

Midnight Kiss & He Loves Me Perfume Review

Recently I went shopping and I popped into a Primark, I wasn't looking for anything in particular but I came across these perfumes which I hadn't seen before. I smelt the samples and I liked the scent but I couldn't choose between the two so I got both. I mean they were only £2 each. 

They are called Midnight Kiss and He Loves Me.

Midnight Kiss is a sweet scent, it's quite strong when you first put it on but it does tone down once worn for a while but lasts a long time on the skin. It's almost reminds me of the Briney Spears Midnight  Fantasy Perfume. There are also other scents in this perfume which I can't quite put my finger on. 

He Loves Me is more of a fresh scent. It has scents of daisy and Lilly which are floral scents but then has scents of green apples and pears. It's quite a fresh scent and reminds of the DKNY Delicious Perfume. 

I love roll on perfumes because they are easy to throw in your bag and you can top up your scent anytime you need to. 

What's your favourite scent?
