Can we talk about the fact it is the 1st of December tomorrow??
 I am honestly so excited, I have been waiting patiently for this day to come! Whyy??? Advent Calendars of course!!! With all these amazing beauty Advent Calenders I thought I would go and treat myself to one (or two). 

There were so many beautiful calendars, however, wayyy out my price range, so when I had a look on Superdrug and saw these two I knew I had to get my hands on them.

Make-Up Revolution

I haven't actually tried any of their products before but I have heard amazing reviews. With this calendar, you get 25 gifts, each full sized products! As you can see you can kinda work out what each is roughly going to be, however, the shade will be a surprise!  

The packaging is gorgeous, I am a sucker for Rose Gold, and I only paid £25 which is a complete bargain! I can't wait to open each window and try each product!

Tanya Burr Cosmetics 

First of all, this is just the most gorgeous packaging, it just looks so pretty on my dresser!!  As you know I love Tanya's products so I have been eyeing this for a while, I bought it when I realised it had Glitter pots inside!! That is right up my street especially at this time of year!!

With this calendar, it only has 12 windows so I think I will open them every two days, as I can't wait for 12 days before Christmas aha

Make sure you Follow me on Twitter and I will let you know what is inside each day!! 


Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate!!

You then cannot not have a chocolate advents calendars, I went with a Thorntons and Galaxy one!! Thornton's always have gluten free chocolate so that was a must and for the first time the Galaxy calendar did not contain or may contain wheat or gluten so I had to get my hand on that!! I also have one that my mum makes up and put on our wall so  I will be fine for chocolate for the next 25 days!!

I have been working hard on the different post for this festive period so I will be posting twice a week in the run-up. I was going to tackle Blogmas but I just have no time, quality over quantity right??
I am, however, giving my blog a festive make-over tomorrow, so make sure you check it out! I have already changed my footer, do you like??

Hope you are having a festive day!

I feel like this month has gone pretty quick, quicker than all the rest, although I am writing my favourites a little early.  I want December to be all about Christmas so you are getting this in advance! 

Just like every month I wanna share my what I have been loving! Enjoy!!

I have seen a few posts lately about 'How to Be Happy' and 'How to Stay Positive' and I absolutely love them! I love reading other people's lifestyle post, I find it so interesting and they really inspire me! Since we are fully into to the colder weather I thought I would share what I do on my 'Lazy Days'.

•START YOUR DAY EARLY•
Now I know what you are thinking, lazy days equals lie ins but really you will feel so much better getting up early.  It is just a great feeling being the first one up in your house, everything is so peaceful and quiet!
Light a candle, turn the fairy lights on and make everything feel cosy!
 I can't start my day without breakfast,  I tend to not touch my phone until I am fully awake so I whilst I eat I catch up on YouTube and any messages!!
Having a relaxing morning means I am more motivated to do tasks, and getting up early means I can get more tasks  done! 

•PLAN AND LISTEN TO MUSIC•

I love to plan, and with more time on my hands, I like to sit down and plan. Plan my day, jobs to be done and plan upcoming blog posts. It makes me feel so organized and ready for the day. 

Blogging and having a full-time job can be hard,  so when I have time off, planning my posts can be helpful to keep track what is going up and when. 

I also love writing what needs to be done in my day and then at the end of the day what I achieved, things like that can make you feel more positive about what you have accomplished!! 

You obviously have to have some music, now that November has come I am loving the Christmas playlist!! ;) 

•TIDY TIDY TIDY•

I, like most people just let things build up until my room is a hot mess. A clear workspace makes a clear head, and that is so true, if things are not tidy then it stresses me out.

I know it is a 'lazy day' but it is so satisfying making your room neat and tidy, even though in a few days it will be back to the same old  mess lol If I don't have a day off,  I will do it at night, I love going to sleep after I have tidied my room knowing when I wake up it will be all clear! 

•MANICURE TIME•

All my girls, or guys out there, is it just me who can't stand not having my nails painted! I hate the look of my nails and I just feel 'naked' lol.  So on my lazy days, I love giving myself a good manicure and pampering myself.  Picking the colour, put on a good film and you will be relaxed in no time. The end result is also very pleasing!!

However, on this occasion, it was stressful, trying to get a shot of myself painting my nails became such a task! Self-timer and my mouth came in handy!!! 

•BATH AND BOOKS• 

Lastly, you can't have a lazy day without a warm bath, a Lush Bomb, and a good book!! It is such a good way to wind down and relax! I tend to have my baths at night just to get me super chill and ready for bed, however, having a bath in the morning/afternoon has become my favourite thing to do!!

I have mentioned before how I feel that I never have time to read, so spending 40 plus minutes in the bath is just complete 'me' time!! 

I want to do more of these lifestyle post as like I said I really enjoy reading and writing them!! It is all steam ahead for Christmas now and I am so excited!!! As you can see I am planning my post, so stay tuned aha!!! 

Let me know what you do on your 'Lazy Days'??? 

Hope you are having a great day!! 

Hey, guys, I am so sorry there has been no post this weekend, I had planned on posting but there was just too much excitement and a lot to be done,  I just never had the time to upload. 

However I have some exciting news, if you have read my blog before or follow me on social media, you would know I have applied  to Americamp, to work in a summer camp next year, I went down to Manchester and met up with the best group of people and we all went to the Manchester Camp Fair.

 It was kinda overwhelming but I am so happy that I got placed!!! I am going to be working at Camp Tanuga in Michigan for just over 3 months and I am so excited!! It is really happening and I am over the moon!  I have been researching and planning my travels and it's all becoming real!! 
I am going to do a full blog post nearer the time about my whole experience!

However, I leave in May and although this is super exciting,  I don’t have long to go, so  I have to SAVE SAVE SAVE!! With only 6 months to go and Christmas presents to buy I have to be really sensible with my money. With that I will  have to change my blog a little , there is no way I can post big hauls or reviews as I need to focus on America!! 

I already planned a few Christmas haul post so make sure to keep an eye out.  I have put a lot of effort into this blog so I 100% want to continue, so let me know what you would like to see?? 

Also if you have any questions about Americamp I will be more than happy to answer them!! 

I had the best weekends and like I said met some amazing people, I can’t wait for 2017!!

Hope you are all well, have a fab day!!

I am going to quietly get excited about the fact that October is over and it is finally November, honestly though this year is going way to fast and it seems like yesterday I was writing last month's favorites!! Now that Halloween is over it's all be about Christmas, NO COMPLAINING!!
