Blogmas Day Seven - Stocking Fillers under £10

To me a stocking filler is £15 and under i saw a ad for apple air pods and it said great stocking filler no Hun that's a main present at that price.

I love waking up to see my stocking (Really its a bag) on the floor next to my bed and delving in to see what i have (: once Milo has finished inspecting what the strange object is. 
The ones i have picked out for this post could be used as Secret Santa actual under the tree presents or as they are intended stocking fillers.

Asda

I watched itsemchannel earlier and saw that she had included bits from asda and not going to lie i would never of thought asda when looking at stocking fillers (and no I'm not copying her video i had this down for day 7 anyway)
This is the Link if you want to check out any of the other products i would love to list everything under £10 but id be here till Christmas. You can also order these online if your lazy like me and dont want to hike up to asda.
These nspa goodies are on 3 for 2 and all come in at £10 they sort of look like the range boots does but i cannot remember what its called (blonde moment)
1.Nspa Body Butters
2. Nspa Bath Gift Set
3.Nspa Shower Gels Gift Set







































B&M 

B&M always have good secret Santa/Stocking fillers they are cheap and cheerful you can't shop online which a hassle as i dont know if you've ever been to B&M but in mine its always so busy no matter what time you go and i cannot handle that so if i do brave it i take my mum as i buffer lol and a plus point they have stuff for the guys that isn't just socks or a lynx set which is a bonus (: 

Just a selection of stuff for the guys 
1.Super Mario Heat Changing Mug
2.Poo Head Game
3.Snakes & Ladders Drinking Game
4. my personal favorite lol Toilet Fishing Game 

I was going to do a whole layout for the female stocking fillers from B&M but as i started i quickly realized that there is a lot more for females under £10 so il just give you the Link 

I had a load more planned for this post but as i type this its now the 10th of december and im so behind so im keeping this short and sweet i hope you all understand

Blogmas day Six - Reveal your tree

We have one tree in the living room (like most people) and i have one in my room which is Disney themed (:  

But I'm just going to show you my tree as the living room one isn't quite ready but you will see the tree in my upcoming how we decorated for Christmas's like This One i did (: 

All the baubles are from either Primark Poundland or the Disney Store (: 

The lights are battery powered and are from Sainsburys and they come with batteries which other stores don't normally do 

The tree itself is a 4ft tree and its from Homebase last year i believe it was £10 though just checking the website now it does say that its £8 so maybe it was or maybe they've lowered the price. 

So this is my tree it definitely looks better in the dark but that could just be due to the way i have put my tree up (i was very impatient) 

Feel free to tag me in your trees either on Instagram or Twitter (:

2. Christmas music iv been listening to it since the end of October but its now socially acceptable to listen to it and no one can complain (well they can but i find if you just turn up the music it drowns them out lol)

3. The food all the food why is Christmas food so tasty.

4. buying Christmas gifts - As iv got older i love buying for people and watching them open their gifts Christmas morning

5. Fairy lights i love fairy lights 

6. Putting the Christmas tree up it always makes me feel so cosy and warm when i look at it

Blogmas day Three Christmas wish list

My Christmas lists have been done and sent to the people they need to go to for about a month now but this wish list is if I had the money what I'd buy myself (:
I know how lucky i am to be able to save to buy these things even if it does take me longer then other people.
I would never ask my family or friends for these as they are expensive items and id rather save up for them myself without my family doing so.

1. A Macbook

My laptop is so broken I don't know how it's still working it's been dropped so many times the battery fell out of it and won't go back in so it needs to be plugged in at all times it has a crack in the top of it and the screen is going but being real I can't just go out and spend £200+ on a laptop unless I don't want to pay any bills or eat for a month yey for a low income. I have looked at getting a MacBook on credit from apple or brighthouse but it's £22.00 a week at brighthouse or £54 a month at apple and my bank just cannot afford that until i get another job unfortunately.

2. A Camera preferably with a flip screen

If you watch my youtube channel then you will know that i film on my iphone which is fine but i only have a 16GB phone which means i have to constantly stop and transfer what iv filmed over to my ipad and carry on which is becoming a faf to be honest.

3. A Apple Watch Series 3

I have a very cheap fitness watch that works in water but it drains my battery all the time as it has to be constantly connected to bluetooth and I'm not quite sure how actuate it is as one week at aqua fusion it will say iv burnt 700 calories the next week it will only be 135 so I'm like which one is it ?? or maybe its me not working hard enough lol. Iv looked in to it and you can use the newer one in the water which is perfect for me (: i decided against the fit bit as i didn't like the reviews on the waterproof one plus the apple watch doubles as a watch which is always handy (:

What is on your christmas wishlist if you have one ??

Blogmas Day Two - What to buy your secret santa £10 and Under

If your anything like me when you hear the words its time to do secret Santa and dread it your not alone whether it be work colleagues friends or relatives you only see it weddings it's still hard to figure out what they will like.

Iv put together some secret Santa ideas as not going to lie I was struggling this year I hope this helps someone (: these are all under £10 most of them are for the females just because how hard is it to do secret Santa for a male that isn't a lynx set or a quiz book it's 2017 it should be easy to shop for males.

Before someone thinks I am I'm putting a disclaimer out I'm not sponsored by any of the sites or stores that I mention wish I was though not going to lie 😂


I'm going to start with prezzybox this is always a website I click on flick through then click off iv never had a good browse through until tonight and I have to say I'm impressed (:

1.Worlds Smallest Vacuum for the messiest person in the office / workplace / friend or family 

2.Retro Sweet Bouquet this one you could do yourself but if your lazy like me then this is perfect

3. Fetch My Keys for that person who is always losing their keys

4.Beauty Junky Passport And Ticket Holder Perfect for that one person who is always going away and your not jealous about it one bit !! lol

5. Floral Love Letters These would look great on a desk or in someones room

I almost always get all my secret Santa gifts from primark just because I'm in there all the time shopping for myself it's easy to pick things up for others for under £10 and there's so much choice and so much Disney stuff 💕 As i said last year when i put primark in my gift guides you do want any of these you do have to go in to the store which is slightly annoying its 2017 why cant you shop online yet ??

1. After Party 9 Shade Palette For the person that loves makeup and doesn't mind where it comes from (: 

2.PS Metal Angels Eyeshadow Palette Iv seen this in primark and fell in love with it (:

3. Purple Glitter Berry Votive Candle (its not the same one as in the picture i cant find that one) Everyone loves candles and if they don't well i wouldn't trust them lol!) 

4. Minnie Mouse LED Light For the Disney lover 

5. Beauty And The Beast Rose Jar (iv yet to see these in my local primark but i love it)

TkMaxx 

This is a store i always browse online but never go in i just prefer shopping online (i mean doesn't everyone ? ) 

1. A5 Pink Girl Power 2018 Dairy I haven't met one person that didn't like getting a dairy for Christmas 

2. White & Gold "Trust Me You Can Dance" Mug We all have that one friend/family member/colleague that once they've had a little to drink think they are the next Beyonce or Shakira   

3. Highlighter In Sunbeam Everyone loves Highlighter right ? 

4.BARE MINERALS Dusty Pink Naughty, Naughty Blush £4.99 for this Bare Minerals blush which should be £20.00 got to love tk maxx (:

I hope this helps some of you it has me  (:

Blogmas Day One - Introduction to blogmas

Its the most wonderful time of the year
it is now socially acceptable to listen to christmas music put the tree up and talk about christmas but lets be real most of us have been listening to christmas music since October some of us have had our trees up since the end of November and christmas talk started in September but to those who insist on having nothing to do with christmas until December you cant be bah humbug anymore (:

As you may have figured out im doing blogmas again this year (: i really enjoyed it last year and everyone who read it seemed to as well which is always good (:

If you dont know what blogmas is then where have you been ? Blogmas is when a blogmas is when a blogger posts everyday up to either the 24th or 25th of December. Other ways to do blogmas is to blog every other day its up to you (:

Im also attempting Vlogmas this year something i haven't done since 2015 for many reason's but the main one is my life is so boring but i did a poll on twitter asking if anyone would watch my vlogmas if it was 99% home based and most people voted yes so im giving it ago again this year (: if you like those types of vlogs then it would mean the world to me if you would watch mine and subscribe Here

Anatomical's Face masks Review

A few weeks ago i was very lucky to receive a couple of products from the lovely people over at  Anatomical's. I couldn't wait to start using the face mask's they had sent me. Over the past two weeks my skin has been more pampered then it has been in a while.

If you have never heard of anatomical's have you been living under a rock ?? 

All their products are cruelty free which is amazing. They have some witty and quirky names for their products which always makes me chuckle. Their products are sold on Asos Superdrug Urban Outfitters And Harvey Nichols. Everything is all reasonably priced so it wont break your bank.

The first mask i tried was I feel the need , the need for seaweed which is a calming algae face mask. I'm not the best at applying face mask's i do get the product in my eyebrows one side of my face always seems to have more product then the other but its all part of the fun (: while applying the mask it was super cooling on my skin it smelt amazing the colour was amazing very easy to apply you could easily get two uses out of this mask. It says on the back to leave it on for 5- 10 Min's which i did while singing along to one of my many spotify playlists. once it was time to take the mask off it was super easy i just used warm water and a flannel and it came of no need for harsh scrubbing . My skin felt amazing afterwards so soft i have very sensitive skin and this didn't irritate my skin. The mask did stain my brush but I'm not bothered about that just something to note if you don't like things staining your brushes. 

The next mask i tired was Hawaii Five Glow Tropical Hydrating face mask

This one i didn't like at all and neither did my skin its not a thick mask more like a moisturiser in my opinion as you can see from the photo its rather patchy but that could just be the way i applied it. The mask irritated my skin but that could be the fact that my skin thought it was sun cream as it smelt like it and sun cream irritates my face. I don't like being negative about a product but I'm just being honest there is no point saying its fantastic when i didn't like it. 

The last mask i tired was the makes your skin brighter (if not you) Strawberry + Yarrow face mask.I loved the smell of this to me it smells like strawberry yogurt. I thought the mask would be bright red due to the strawberry in it so was surprised when it came out white. The mask is very thick and got very tight once it dried. My cat seemed to love the mask she kept trying to lick the mask. The only thing i will say because it was a thick mask it did take a little bit of scrubbing to take it off. My skin definitely felt brighter (if it can) and looked better then it did (: over all i loved this mask and would purchase again (:  

Huge thank you's to the people over at anatomical for sending me these to try (: and i hope you liked my review (: 

Make sure to follow Anatomical's on Instagram

The Autumn Tag

Iv been searching for a good autumn tag to do for a while as most of them were about thanksgiving and since i live in the UK we don't celebrate thanksgiving i stumbled across this one from Makeup Savvy 

1. What Signifies the start of Autumn to you ? 

As soon as it hits September. I'm all about cosy blankets candles dairy free hot chocolate dark nights and leaves on the ground. 

2. What is your favourite Autumn scent ?

The only one that comes in to my mind right now is cranberry but to me that's a Christmas scent i could be very basic and say pumpkin but as much as i do like that sometime i cannot stand it depending on what its in.

3.What is your favourite Autumn colour ? 

I love red but it doesn't suit me at all ): same with yellow i blame my mum on that as those colours don't suit her either  

4. What is your favourite Autumn drink ?

I'm not a big fan off hot drinks mostly because since being lactose intolerant most hot chocolate has milk in ): even though Costa say their hot chocolate is dairy free their allergy page says different not sure about Starbucks as we have more Costa's then Starbucks in Sheffield. I do love hot peach juice that would be my hot drink of choice. 

5.What TV Show new or old are you looking forward to this Autumn ?

Big Bang Theory 

Fuller House

Red Dwarf 

The Middle

Chicago Med 

(I would put Chicago Fire but that's already on) 

6. What is your favourite Autumn fashion trend ?

I'm really not bothered about fashion trends my wardrobe consists of things i wear all year round (if you watch my youtube videos you'll off seen the extant of my wardrobe lol)

7. What is your favourite frugal Autumn activity ? 

Getting all cosy with blankets snacks and fairy lights and watching movies and I'm not ashamed to say that i watched my first Christmas movie of the year last night any guesses which one i watched ?? if you know me or read my blog then you should. I watched The Grinch (: if you got it right let me know. 

8. What is your favourite makeup look come Autumn ?

My eye makeup doesn't change that much through out the year it just gets darker in shade i wish i was more adventurous with my makeup i have blue eyes and i think bronze and red shades would look amazing but i just feel like if i tried to attempt anything other then my everyday eye makeup look it would just be a disaster. 

If you do do this tag please link it in the comments or tag me on Twitter and il read and comment on them (:
