BLOGMAS DAY 13: CHRISTMASSY NAILS...ISH

Hello everyone! Todays post is going to be about some Christmassy...ish nails that I've done today! I'm not very adventurous with nail art as I am terrible at it so this is as good as it gets for me! 

I used a nude colour from Model's Own, and a sparkly polish from Barry M for just an accent nail.

The Barry M shade was 'Jingle Bells' very fitting! If you're using this polish I would recommend using it very sparingly as it comes out very fast.

The Model's Own shade I think was Trillion Taupe. I love this colour, as it can be worn all year round.

And here is the finished result!

I hope you enjoyed this post, and I shall see you tomorrow!

BLOGMAS DAY 10, 11 & 12: ASSIGNMENT STRESS

Hello! I have already ruined Blogmas and it had only been 9 days... I am terrible. But the reason why will become clear after you have read this post! I've combined a few days into one as quite frankly I have done nothing interesting as I have had 3 deadlines very close together for my uni work so all that I have been doing is writing essays! So, I thought today's post could be dedicated to how I deal with assignments and the stress that comes with them! This could be applied to your GCSE'S, A-Levels or degree level work like I'm currently doing. So, enjoy!

PLAN, PLAN, PLAN!  I think this is my most important step. I always plan all my essays as I think this makes writing them a lot easier and faster. It helps group all your ideas together and it ensures your essay is structured properly.

SLEEP! I always make sure I go to bed at a reasonable ish.. time and try and set an alarm for a reasonable time to make sure I get enough sleep.

TAKE BREAKS  This is also very important! If you don't take breaks you won't be producing your best work. So, take a break after every hour but just make sure you start working again afterwards.

RELAX  This won't be forever and it will soon all be over!

BLOGMAS DAY 9: CHRISTMAS MARKETS

So, yesterday I decided to visit the local Christmas market with my boyfriend. I love Christmas markets as they always make me feel really festive and the food is amazing. I took a few photos but struggled as they were quite busy and it was very very cold. But it wouldn't be a Christmas market if it wasn't cold!

Do you go to Christmas markets? Feel free to leave any comments.

BLOGMAS DAY 6: CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS

Hello again! I can't believe its the 6th December already! Christmas is going to be here before we know it and then its the countdown to New Year. I really enjoy the run up to Christmas so will be sad when it's all over again but it comes round again pretty fast each year.

This post is going to be dedicated to Christmas traditions that me and my family do each year.

Christmas Eve: Normally on Christmas Eve we have quite a relaxed day, and sometimes go to the cinema or the local pantomime. On the evening we will normally watch a film altogether and have a takeaway. After this we always get Christmas Eve pyjamas and usually some form of chocolate. It's a lovely way to prepare for Christmas!

Christmas Day: On Christmas day we usually wake up quite early despite all being nearly adults. We will usually open presents and then have a cooked breakfast. After this we go to my Nanna and Grandad's where we open more presents and have a lovely Christmas dinner! {They are amazing cooks} After dinner we will usually play games, watch films and just have general chit chat. On the evening we always watch the soaps and then travel home after a lovely day. 

This is our tree at home from last year with our presents.

This is at my Nanna and Grandad's, the table set for dinner.

Excuse the snapchat writing! We usually get a table present after our dinner.

Boxing Day: On Boxing Day we usually have another relaxed day, eating food and I also see my boyfriend on this day!

I hope you enjoyed this post! What traditions do you have for Christmas?
