10 Things I Want To Do In December... | Blogmas 2015

Hi lovely reader! "It's the most wonderful time of the year",



Happy December! The other day I visited my cousin and her house was in full Christmas mode, with a spruce tree scented candle burning, the tree up and sparkling, holiday decor everywhere you looked, and christmas music playing. It was perfect! I then came back to my apartment this weekend to find an adorable little christmas tree set up, the couch staged with holiday pillows, and the aroma of a holiday candle burning. It truly makes me so happy. This is without a doubt my favorite time of the year and am beyond excited for Christmas. I plan on doing all things festive throughout the month and thought I would make a list of the things I want to do!

1. Make a holiday playlist on Spotify and listen to it while driving home

2. Bake gingerbread cookies

3. Decorate a gingerbread house

4. Decorate my house with my family while a fire burns and Christmas music plays in the background

5. Make paper snowflakes

6. Go ice-skating

7. Drive around and look at Christmas lights

8. Make homemade hot chocolate

9. Watch Christmas movies (most importantly Elf)

10. Spend time with family and friends

Bonus: Participate in Blogmas as much as possible
(I did blogmas last year (Blogmas 2014), and loved it, I especially love going back now and looking at all the posts from it. I also know that I will probably be getting quite busy, so I may not be able to post everyday of December up until the 25 but I am going to try my hardest!)

What do you want to do this December? Xx

Halloween | TBT

Hello lovely reader! November is here and it's almost the weekend! It's crazy that in just a few short weeks, turkey and stuffing and all things Thanksgiving will be occurring. In honor of tbt or "Throwback Thursday", I wanted to share some pics from last weekend. I was super festive and enjoyed every minute of it, from going to a pumpkin patch to navigating through a corn maze with friends, I had a great Halloween weekend! 

On Friday night I went to the cutest pumpkin patch I've ever seen! It was super quaint and the perfect place to take some fall pics! 

Just a little snack before the Halloween activities got started. I hadn't had fruit snacks in forever and it definitely took me back to grade school. 

Our apartment has been decorated since the first weekend in October...the spider web lights are my favorite 

A little Halloween OOTD. I was kind of in love my look for the day, especially my cranberry lip! I see the Revlon "Just Bitten Kissable" lip stain in the shade 005. 

Consumed by corn

Indoor s'mores because the outdoors didn't want to cooperate. 

What did you do on Halloween? Xx

Festive iPhone Snapshots | Blogmas

Happy Christmas Eve lovely reader! I hope you are as excited for tomorrow as I am and that these next two days bring you "joy and happine-e-es" (if you didn't catch my reference). I take pictures with my iPhone all the time so I thought as a nice little homage to the past month I would share some Christmasy pics that I have collected in my camera roll. 

(Clockwise) A little croissant and some water from Starbucks. (I don't drink coffee so there's that), Beautiful Christmas Lights, Festive Fox in my cousin's house, Sleigh Full of Ornaments or Baubles

Massive Christmas tree with ornaments the size of my head, Delicious lunch with my friend to begin the holiday break, Jolly little Santa stocking holder, Decorating the big Christmas Tree

Of course Christmas wouldn't be complete with out some Mariah Carrey, Festive sweatshirt (actually what I'm wearing today!), My collection of holiday socks, Pretty pink tree on my desk.

What have you been taking pics of during the countdown to Christmas? Xx

Pamper Present Packing | Blogmas

Hi lovely reader! Can you believe that there's only eight days until Christmas?!? I could not be more excited, the past couple of days have been quite festive. I've been wrapping presents, decorating Christmas trees, hanging garland, and there's still more to be done!

I wanted to share a little gift idea with you today for someone who would enjoy pampering and a cozy night in. All of the items in the gift bag were purchased at TJ Maxx! I haven't really mentioned it before but I am a massive fan of TJ Maxx and probably go there at least once every 1-2 weeks to see what they've got. You can find some great brands in everything from shoes, to bags, to clothes, they have even home-ware. I personally always have a look through the shoes and clothes. (No, this post is not sponsored by them, just sharing, because sharing is caring)

First, I bought this Ralph Lauren Pajama Set. I really like these pjs because they're quite classic looking. They are also very soft and good quality.

Next a pair of super soft cozy socks. Perfect for lounging around in or sitting by the fire whilst sipping hot chocolate and watching a Christmas film. 

Finally, a delicious smelling shampoo/shower gel/bubble bath from philosophy. Even though it isn't a Christmas scent, I think it's acceptable, it's pink and sweet!

Also, picked up this pretty bag from TJ Maxx to put all the gifts in. 

More presents!

What gift ideas do you love? Xx
