Busy Baking | Blogmas

Hi lovely reader! Today was quite a sweet day, filled with baking. Every year my mom and I like to bake Christmas cookies, and this year we are taking it to a whole other level. My family is hosting the annual Christmas party this year so we are making quite a variety of options! My mom made these adorable peanut butter reindeer cookies that are delicious! 


I baked the "Tanya Burr Cookies"! I made them one other time and actually did a step by step post which you can view here. I really liked them and I love how they have candy bar bits in them! 


What cookies do you make around the holiday season? 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

Simple Decoration DIY | Blogmas

Hello lovely reader! I hope you had a nice weekend! Today I wanted to share a simple DIY with you based on a picture I saw in a magazine. 


You will need:
-a glass bowl
-fake snow
-small ornaments or sparkly bits


This DIY really is so simple, all you have to do is fill the bowl about 2/3 of the way with fake snow,

then place the sparkly bits to your liking, 

and voila! A nice little table decoration! 

I made two and place the excess sparkly baubles in a nice glass jar.

Do you have a favorite Christmas DIY?
