Happy New Year! | 2016

Happy New Year! I can't believe it's now 2016. I hope you all had a lovely Christmas :) I can't wait to finally get back into blogging again it feels like forever since I've sat down and typed up a blog post. I'm hoping this year I will be able to get a lot more done as I have a new camera and laptop which is so good because before, I was using my phone too take my photos and my dads laptop which became slower and slower every time I used it. I want to make it my mission to post at least once or twice a week, I'm not going to call it my new years resolution though, because in the past my resolutions have never really lasted longer than 5 days soo... I'm just going to try and attempt it.
 
In 2015, my blog hit 1,000 followers on bloglovin' and I'm gradually getting closer to 2,000 which I'm so grateful for and I never thought it would happen so thank you so much for following me :) I also changed the appearance of my blog quite a lot in the past year, which was completely new to me as before I started blogging I never knew there was so much you could do or change about a website but I really like the way it looks right now and I'm very happy with it! Another mind blowing thing that happened was when I got asked to write a review on one of Vidal Sassoon's curlers! WHAT? (I don't usually like to blow my own trumpet but I thought I should document it as it's nice for me to look back on) I couldn't believe what I was reading at the time, I thought it was fake. I never thought within less than a year of blogging I'd be asked to do something like that.
 
Although I want to get back into blogging and I'm really excited about it, I also know that this year is going to be such a busy one for me so if I miss out on a few posts or I'm gone for a while please bear with me because I have no intensions of quitting blogging any time soon :) it will just mean that I'm busy at the time.
 
Before I go I just wanted to quickly talk bout a Christmas present I got from my Nan, it's called 'Q&A A Day (5 Year Journal)' I'm sure lots of you have already heard about it but it was something I really wanted for the new year and I think it's such a good idea. It's filled with lots of questions for every single day of the year for you to answer, things like 'Where would you like to go on holiday' or 'what's your favourite song right now?' and you answer the same question on the same day but for five years. I can't want to be able to look back on it and see what I've written in the future, so I'm definitely going to be filling out the pages this year :) You can have a look at it here as I'm sure a lot of you would find this interesting too, especially because it's the new year.
 
 
So yeah :) Hope you've all had a nice time on your holidays if you do celebrate Christmas and I will be back with a new post soon (hopefully) haha, cya!

Last Minute Christmas Gifts

Hey..can you believe it's now less than a week till Christmas?! I'm really excited :)
I've come up with a few 'last minute christmas gift ideas' in case any of you are struggling or wondering about what to get someone with only a limited amount of time left. Whether it's something for a friend, mum or family member I hope there is something in this post that can help you :)


Bath & Body Sets




Soap & Glory Poptastic - Soap & Glory have the best gift sets in my opinion, they all look so pretty and they are also really inexpensive which is great if your on a small budget. I know that Soap & Glory release lots of sets at Christmas time such as makeup, bath & body, fragrances and more so there really is something for everyone and I know that I would be more than happy to receive one of these sets on Christmas day :)


For The Skincare Lover

Sanctuary Spa 'Just Because' Gift Set - Sanctuary Spa have some amazing skincare products, some of which I regularly use myself and love. This set includes a body butter, body wash, body scrub and a hand cream. The whole set is worth £10.50 which is an amazing price as their products are quite expensive sold individually, so you really do get a lot for what you pay for.


For The Makeup Lover


No7 Glamour Cracker - No7 is one of the best brands for gift sets, they have everything. I thought i'd include this one because out of all the others I feel like this one screams Christmas the most. It comes with a mascara & eyeliner. I love this idea of the cracker and it's only £8, perfect little stocking filler.


Stocking Fillers

- Cath Kidston Makeup Bags - How cute are these?! (£10 Each)





I hope this helped you out if you were in need of any gift inspiration ;) Please do let me know if you liked this :) And I should be back very soon,
