Christmas Pressies!

Hi guys!
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and got everything you hoped for and more :)
I had a lovely day full with food, family and pressies!
...Also a sew your own sock reindeer that I still need to finish, I spent 3 and a half hours making it!

Today I wanted to share the lovely presents I received over Christmas, but before I start this is in no way a bragging post, I feel very lucky to have gotten what I did and feel very spoilt!

Just some of my amazing presents!

I got 4 new perfumes so I should smell lovely for the rest of the year!

Hugo Boss Jour & Avon Little Black Dress

Jour is lovely and fresh like a spring day! Kind of a care free kind of fragrance.
&
Little Black Dress is what I think of as a classic fragrance reminds me of both my grandma's and Chanel no.5 - I'm not saying its a dupe for Chanel no.5 I can barely remember what it smells like, but when I was little one of my grandma's gave me her almost used bottle of Chanel no.5 and this reminds me of how I remember it smelling, but I doubt it smells the same!

Britney Spears Midnight Fantasy & Circus Fantasy

Midnight Fantasy is so super fruity it honestly smell good enough to eat with its top not of Cherry.
&
Circus Fantasy is just as fruity but has more of a citrus scent to it - both super lovely and a good price!

Katy Perry Prism, Britney Spears Britney Jean, The Vampire Diaries Seasons 1-4, Rachel Caine Terminated, R J Anderson Quicksilver & Lauren Conrad Beauty.
I also got Lady GaGa ArtPop but that's currently in my car :P

I haven't had chance to listen to all the cd's enough to formulate a proper opinion of them, I'm currently listening to Britney Jean right now - poppy! plus I love Britney anyway!

I'm super excited to watch The Vampire Diaries, I managed to watch the first season then missed every one since then! So a mega catch up is in order!

I have loved this series by Rachel Caine and can't wait so sink my reading teeth in to Terminated!

Quicksilver is a spin off? of the book Ultraviolet by the same author a "what happened after" to one of the characters from this sci-fi book.
&
Lauren Conrad's Beauty bible, I'm so excited to read this. I've flicked through it a few times and read the odd page. I think its going to be a great book for those starting on their hair/beauty/makeup journey. I think I will do a proper review of it once I've read this beauty!

Radley Mirror, Cosy Up Kitty Handwarmers, Warhammer 40,000 miniature & Me to You Teddy.

My boyfriends started buying me little Radley pieces and this adorable little mirror is one of my newest additions :)

Cosy Up Hand warmers because my hands are always cold!

Warhammer 40, 000 miniature model. Warhammer I hear you say! Yup my little brother loves warhammer and loves to paint them, my dad also paints figures and I said a while back I fancy painting something again so my lil bro bought me this to paint at some point! Bless him!
&
My Me to You teddy from lil bro!

Hunger Games Bracelet, Swatch Watch, Radley Watch & Unicorn Pandora Charm

I LOVE the Hunger Games so this was just a lil fun present from the boyfriend.

A beautiful Swatch watch from my dad, has a tortoise shellesque bracelet style strap

A Radley watch from the boyfriend, as these cute little Westies all over the inside strap

&

A precious Unicorn Pandora charm to add to my collection - been collecting for 4 years that's why there are so many!

A Nivea box set including: Irresistibly Smooth Lotion, Express Hydration Hand Lotion, Soft Face, Body&Hand cream, Daily Moisturiser, Pearly Shine Lip Balm, Cleansing Wipes (not pictured) Nourishing Honey Mask sample (not pictured) Avon Skin So Soft, Avon Advanced Techniques Argon Oil Hair Mask, Ted Baker box including: Body Spray, Bath Soak, Body Wash, Hand Cream, Body Souffle & Head Band.

I haven't had chance to use all these products yet but I could always do a post on each set.

I also go some underwear - not gonna show that, loads of socks, one of those weird spidery looking head massagers and a little chocolate!

I would love to know what you all got too!

Have a great day!

Garnier Summer Body 400ml £3.56 currently at Superdrug: In Light Sun-Kissed. Such a good gradual tanner. Smells of Apricot and tans gradually to a light natural looking tan - Just make sure you wash your hands after you apply!

Batiste Dry Shampoo Tropical Flavour 400ml £4.99: This is the best dry shampoo I have used! You do get a white cast but with some scalp massage and a brush all is good, it works amazing and I love this tropical scent!

Aussie Miracle Moist Shampoo 500ml £5.99: I absolutely love how this smells! Lathers up really well leave my hair soft and feeling clean!

Natural Collection Vanilla Body Spray 150ml £2 only at Boots: Smells so nice leave's skin with a subtle scent of vanilla or clothes for that matter!

MUA Power Pout in Irreplaceable £3.00 at Superdrug: This has been my go to lip colour all summer long and I'm still loving the peppermint scent!

Skin79 BB mini bought as a set from ebay: If you follow my post you'll know I bought a gift set of Skin79 BB creams to try out and my review will follow soon (still using them up!) But I loved this! Such a natural colour and finish!

Natural Collection Cream Blush in Rosy Pink 9ml £1.99 only at Boots: Again if you follow my post you would have seen my post on the Natural Collection range and how much I love this blush it has been a staple in my makeup bag ever since I bought this little bargain!

Carmex Moisturising Lip Balm 7.5g £2.69: Love it! I always have chapped lips wish I knew why and this stuff is amazing with it. Has a scent that I can only describe as menthol and has a slight tingle on the lips but works wonders! My favourite lip balm.

Natural Pearl Bead Bracelet: This was a gift from my Dad from when he went on holiday to the South of France and I house sat for him looking after he's nutty doggies. I've loved it since I've had it :)

Mixed Bag Favourites


Adorkable by Sarra Manning | Lana Del Rey-Born to Die | Working Stiff by Rachel Caine | 2 Weeks Notice by Rachel Cain | Imagine Dragons-Night Visions | Taylor Swift-Red | Blogilates with Cassey Ho

The other's are self explanatory but just a quick chat about Blogilates.
Earlier this summer I decided now was the time to get in shape, I found Cassey on youtube by watching Bubzbeauty. Cassey Ho is incredible! She is so motivating, sunny and just plain awesome!
All her videos you can do in the comfort of your own home, with little to no equipment. She offers monthly workout calenders (for free!) food plans & recipes!

I've always been the sort of person who starts working out for a few months then looses interest then stops. But thanks to the insane motivation Cassey offers I just couldn't not stop! My body is slowly changing from a skinny frame with wobbly thighs (yup that's where all my fat ends up!) to little Miss Muscle! But not in that scary she muscle way! haha

So if you want to get in shape but don't want to join a gym check out Blogilates! I garentee you'll be glad you did!
