Just Popping In...♥

I am very sorry for the lack of blogging, but I have been so busy with Christmas Festivities! I have had such an amazing Christmas, first one I have enjoyed in years :) I hope you all had a lovely time too! Santa was certainly kind to me this year, I loved every one of my gifts and got some lovely outfits and then I hit the Boxing Day Sales and got some more outfits! (A post to follow soon!)

Hope you all have had a lovely holiday and usual posts will resume soon!

Christmas Tag ☃

Another one of those one's I have seen around so I thought I would give it ago as I'm feeling festive! Please leave your link below so I can read all of your answers :D

1. Whats Your Favorite Holiday Movie?

It has got to be Home Alone, as this is guaranteed to get me into the Christmas mood and it is always on around Christmas! On the less Christmasy side, I LOVE Mary Poppins and I hear this may be on this year!

2. Whats Your Favorite Christmas Color?

It has got to be RED as it is a typical Christmas colour and also my favourite colour.

3. Do You Like To Stay in Your PJs Or Dress Up For Christmas?

PJ's for Christmas morning and then I will eventually get ready (slightly dressy but not too over dressed!) for dinner! I usually wear a dress with wooly tights :)

4. If You Could Only Buy One Person a Present This Year Who Would It Be?

Probably my Mum as she is my rock and I want her to have everything she wants :D

5. Do You Open Your Present Christmas Eve Or Christmas Morning?

As a child we used to get to open one small present on Christmas Eve, but we don't tend to do that now we are older! So Christmas Morning, also not as early as when we were younger!

6. Have You Ever Built a Ginger Bread House?

No but I love to look at them! I think even if I was too build one I would not be able to eat it as it would look too pretty!

7. What Do You Like To Do On Your Christmas Break?

I only get a small break as I work in a private nursery so I tend to relax and spend lots of time with family and friends :D

8. Any Christmas Wishes?

Too have my Aunty and cousins with me on Christmas Day :( (they recently moved to Australia)

9. Favorite Christmas Smell?

The roast dinner cooking :)

10. Favorite Christmas Meal Or Treat?

It used to be peanuts but now they make me ill :( so this year I will have to find another one!

Well My Lovelies..♥

A bit of a random post to be honest as today I have realised something! I care too much about what people think about me, or more to the point what I think people will think (if that's not too much to take in!)

I was just casually looking through my Look magazine, looking at all the beautiful clothes and I thought to myself, I want to be able to wear them! But the truth is I always tend to go for the easy option, I would prefer to look and imagine the way I would wear them and I love creating outfits. I just hate the thought of someone saying, "what does she look like!"

I try so hard to be the person I think everyone else sees or wants me to be that I have kind of lost who I really am and I have probably done the same with this whole 'blogging world'. I have probably tried too hard to be part of it (as it is something I enjoy) that again I have probably not been myself although I have tried.

So as of the New Year, everyone is going to start seeing the real Amy! I am going to be ME, wear what I like and do what I like!

As my friend said, "you should wear what you think looks good, don't worry about what others think!"

P.S. I promise I will be back to my usual posts as soon as I find the time! This is such a busy time, I spent my evening writing out over 30 christmas cards to each of the children I work with and their families :D

NOTW ♥

This is my first time ever doing a Nail Of The Week, so bare with me! But my Mum went to the Clothes Show in Birmingham today and brought me back a beautiful glittery nail varnish, so I thought I would try it out :)

Rimmel I Love Lasting Finish in 066 Cranberry Zest

I absolutely love this glitter, it is so sparkly and I think it is very Christmasy! :D

Christmas ♥

It's official its almost Christmas. Today I got home from a little Christmas shop to find all the decorations down from the loft - how exciting! I was made cheif tree decorator. I got to put it together, spread out all of the branches, wrap the lights around the tree and add the baubles.

Every year we have a colour theme, but this year we are just going for simple white and silver, but obviously with colourful lights :D

I know everyone started getting excited as soon as it hit the 1st December, but for me, it's not Christmas until the tree is up!!

Rimmel Professional Eyebrow Pencil ♥

I thought I would enlighten you with the new Eyebrow Pencil I have found that I think works really well to make my eyebrows look natural! I only picked it up because all cosmetics were 3 for 2 (and I had already purchased my foundation and powder) so I thought I would give it ago as I literally have no eyebrows!

It is really easy to apply, however I do have to wipe my eyebrows afterwards as my hair is very fair so I feel it still looks a little too dark!

as you can see, I have no eyebrows!

this is after applying the pencil, I feel this is a little too dark!

this is after I have brused them down, using the brush & wiped them a little with tissue!

I feel like this product gives my eyebrows more shape and just gives them the boost to make them noticeable but not too noticeable so that people know I have drawn them on :)

Hope you like this, have a lovely weekend my lovlies! :)
