I have no shame that since November i have been watching Christmas movies most of them being on netflix as i don't have a TV in my room to watch my Christmas DVDs on.
So iv complied a list of my fave ones that i think deserve a mention and a watch (:
Christmas Wedding Planner
I downloaded a Christmas wedding planner so i could watch it during my breaks at work and i was hooked i couldn't wait for my next break (don't we all) so i could watch a bit more of it. It is very predictable but what cheesy Christmas romance isn't.
The Princess Switch
I loved Vanessa Hudgens in high school musical (didn't we all?) and truth be told iv not watched her in anything else until the princess switch its a good film to escape to and live the fantasy with her. I mean falling in love with a prince sounds pretty awesome.
Arthur Christmas
I love this film its not my favourite Christmas movie i think we can all guess what is lol but i love the movie and the heartfelt message that comes with it. Its the best movie to show children who start questioning how Santa can get round the whole world in one night. Its heartwarming and bound to put you in a Christmas mood.
Nativity
I have to admit when Nativity came out i didn't get the buzz around it until it came on to Netflix and i decided to watch it. It's such a cute film and reminded me of being back in primary school playing a angel and a wiseman in year 5 and 6 though our plays weren't as big or dramatic as the one in Nativity.
Deck The Halls
Taking Christmas decorating to the extreme and i love it. It just proves how far someone will go to out do a neighbour or a friend and when i get my own house i so want to be able to do that.
There are loads more Christmas films on Netflix that i haven't watched yet so there maybe a part 2 during blogmas (:

This is going to be such a ramble of a post so settle down with a drink and strap yourselves in.
The other day i put a poll out on Instagram asking you guys which post i should blog about and this one won (: if you want to vote in future polls then search @beckismith93 or just click the link iv provided for you (: you should follow me anyway i'm always very active on insta (:
I started my first YouTube channel in 2011 (All the video's are private on their) so you can't go searching for them.
I started by uploading little tv clips then turned it in to a singing channel which i loved i filmed them on a blackberry torch remember them ?
In really bad lighting as i filmed them very late at night (nothing new there) but then people from school started finding the videos and i'm pretty sure a few ''so called friends'' made up fake YouTube accounts just to post nasty comments i mean i have no proof but at that time YouTube was a safe heaven and nobody really got nasty comments so i made the video's private and said i'd never do youtube again flash forward to 2012 and i made a new channel the one iv been uploading on ever since if you've been around since them days then you will remember the first video a whats in my bag (i loved that bag so much wish i could find another)
I was gaining subscribers not as much as other channels but i was happy with how my channel was progressing i was putting videos out as and when i could which probably didn't help with trying to gain subscribers but never the less i was happy with my channel and my videos fast forward to 2017 and the whole youtube fuck up which meant it was harder and harder for small channels to get noticed and we didn't get paid anymore (not that i got paid more then £1 a month anyway lol) my views went down i used to get over 600 for a primark video and i was barely scrapping 200 views my christmas videos used to be one of my most watched but last year they tanked really bad and i know its not all about the views but lets be honest it is but i persevered until my last video which was my hamster video.
I started to hate the way i looked in videos which is really dangerous. I hated how huge i looked on camera, i hated how my hair looked i hated how fat my face looked,i just hated everything to do with youtube and filming it really was self damaging.For a while i didn't even watch my subscription feed as i just hated youtube. I have videos filmed ready to edit on my ipad but i hate how i look in them. It got to the point that i had to decide what was better for my mental health still uploading but without me in the video but then that would lead to questions on why im not in my videos anymore or just take a break which is what iv done at the moment i have no plans to come back to youtube as i dont want to go down that spiral again its very destructive and not good at all for my mental health.
I don't know what will happen to my channel or if i will come back im happy blogging i can do it from anywhere and i can look how ever i like and no-one will ever know which pleases me greatly.
For anyone who loves my primark hauls they have now turned in to blogpost's same with what i got for chrismas and whats in my stocking. I don't know what im going to do about my annual birthday vlog yet as i love filming them.
This isn't goodbye youtube its see you later

So it's been a while hasn't it ... I'm not going to go in to reasons why as that's boring so i thought id come back with a good old fashioned Primark Haul. I mean who doesn't love a Primark Haul ??
Primark Fake Nails both £1
I can't go in to primark without looking at the fake nails. They are just so easy to wear and you don't have to worry about chipping and if done correctly they can last a few weeks and for £1-3 Pounds they are much cheaper then getting your nails done every 3-6 weeks.
Friends Fridge Magnets £5
I'm not the worlds biggest friends fan (she says re watching the show on netflix for the 34324 time) but when i saw these i had to have them (: They are fridge magnets but i have them on my radiator my two faves have to be Hugsy and the iconic purple door (:
Lounge Pants £5
These ''lounge pants'' or PJ bottoms as i call them are the thing of dreams they are so comfy. They fit like a dream , they are cuffed at the ankle which is perfect , you can wear them out and they look like joggers (deffo not done that down to the local shop) and for £5 you cannot go wrong.
Toy Story Alien Hot Water Bottle £8
I have no idea where this obsession with the aliens from Toy Story has come from but i want everything to do with the Toy Story Aliens so when i saw this on DisneyFinds Instagram i knew i had to have it. Its so soft and cuddly which is perfect for the colder months ahead or for that time of the month or for aches and pains in general. It's £8 which for a Disney Item i feel is quite cheap as you could pay a lot more if it was from the Disney Store. They had loads of them in at the Meadowhall Primark so hopefully they should still have some if your from the South Yorkshire area (:
Reusable Disney Bag £2
After months of buying 5P and 10P and 50P bags every time i go shopping i have finally bought a reusable bag and of course it had to be a Disney one (: £2 is a good investment to save me buying bag after bag especially since i work in a supermarket and always seem to be buying things when iv finished my shift then wonder where all my wages have gone.
6 Way Nail Buffers £1
I don't like filing my nails as the sound goes through me so i always buy nail buffers but these are like nail files and i cant use them which is a shame but my mum loves them so at least they haven't gone to waste (: I'll stick to the poundland ones in future.
Cushion Sole Shoe Liners 3 Pack £2.00
Does anyone else buy socks and then can't find a simple pair ?? because this happens to me all the time !! Now its getting colder i have started to wear socks with my work shoes (£4 primark shoes that they class as slippers I'm guessing its the style of them can you tell why I'm not a fashion blogger) i prefer my socks to have some sort of cushion in them as when i do a 4 or 6 or a 8 hour shift at some point I'll be on self scan my feet need the comfort they don't like to be stood up for long.
Mickey Mouse pen £2
£2 for this pen !! if you went to the Disney Store or any off the parks I'm guessing it would be double if not triple for something like this (its been a few years since iv been to the parks)
The intention for this was to use it for work as i always lose my pens or leave them on whatever till I'm on and i always need a pen at work for writing down my breaks when i finish signing flights out putting in for overtime and doing cash back and this was then pen but living in my work fleece pocket most of the time Mickeys head fell off ): so now its just a pen i use at home which is a shame as i love the pen its just not suitable for work.
Friends Pj Short Set £6
Primark are now doing a 2XL which is awesome because as iv said before in videos a 18-20 fits but on somethings i could of done with that extra bit of fabric. I bought these in a 2XL to test the sizing but it turns out that i could of done with the 18-20 as the top was big and i was flashing my boobs at my family until my mum did something with a needle and the straps and now it fits better (: The whole PJ set only cost £6 which is a bargain if you ask me (:
I hope you enjoyed my little haul (:
