Christmas and New Years

Hello Everyone!

I'm going to keep this blog post short and sweet, only because I have a ridiculously large amount of photos to go with it.

Christmas was amazing this year! We spent Christmas eve and Christmas morning with my sister and her fiance. Opening stockings, playing silly games and drinking the sweetest hot chocolate I've ever tasted! Which probably wasn't the best thing to have at 7:00am. 

After spending the morning at my sisters, me, my mum, and Tom all made our way back home to relax and give out the last of our presents. It turned out to be a really good day and I got some lovely gifts!

New Years was a bit different. As my brother is the only person in the house who actually has a life, he decided to go out to a New Years Eve party, while me and my mum sat at home eating chocolate and watching YouTube....Oh what exciting lives we lead.

In all honesty though, it was quite nice to just stay in and relax on New Years for a change. I'll save the raging parties for next year. 

OH!! How could I forget! 1 year ago today I wrote my first ever blog post! Woohoo! Thank you so much if you read my blog, it does mean a lot to me! So here's to another year of weird, random and occasionally insightful blog posts! 

I hope you all had an amazing Christmas and New Year! 

Now here are some photos of what we got up to...ENJOY! 

ELF LEGS!

The sweetest hot chocolates EVER!

The Christmas Excitement is real!

Christmas Is Coming

IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS!

Hello Everyone!

Although I am a big fan of Halloween, Christmas is always my favorite time of the year! Except for the fact that here in New Zealand it's boiling hot on Christmas day! It just feels wrong, you know? Christmas is 'stereotypically' filled with things like Snowmen, Christmas Robins, Bobble Hats and Scarves, Hot Chocolate by the fire, and of course the tacky Christmas Jumpers. But here in New Zealand, It's slightly different. It's about wearing minimal clothing to stay cool, cooking Christmas dinner on the BBQ outside, and building snowmen out of sand on the beach. I still find it bizarre, but hey...each to their own. 

As it's getting closer to the big day, I though I'd take a few snaps around our house to show you how beautifully mum has decorated this year. Plus some bonus photos from when me and my brother filmed my Christmas video, which I'll also link below. 

I'll be sure to take lots of photos on Christmas day as well! 

Mum saw this on Pinterest. It's our Advent Calender this year.

Oh.

I hope everyone has an amazing Christmas!

Left over Christmas Lush goodies!

Although I love shopping in Lush all year round, their Christmas stock has always been my favourite! And last year I got a little bit carried away...leaving me with some left over goodies!

Their were a lot of new things that I'd never tried before....so naturally I felt obliged to buy them all...and I'm not sorry...

Left over Lush goodies!

But anyway, moving on...
The products that I have in these pictures are what I was left with after Christmas:
- Christmas penguin bubble bar.
- Shoot for the stars bath ballistic.
- Golden wonder bath ballistic.
- Magic wand babble bar.
- Father Christmas bath ballistic.

The only two that I've used before are the 'Magic wand bubble bar' and the 'Father Christmas bath ballistic', which I both love!

The 'Magic wand bubble bar' smells very similar to the Snow fairy shower gel, just not as sweet. Its one of my favourite bubble bars from lush because the idea is you swish it around in your bath, it makes tones of bubbles and turns your bath water all pink and beautiful. Also you can get about four or five baths out of it.

The 'Father Christmas bath ballistic' is my all time favourite bath ballistic from lush! It has a really fruity smell and turns your bath water from bright red to green. I absolutely love it and I feel like not enough people rave about it.

I can't wait to try out the others, as I've heard some pretty good reviews on them!

Anyone else have any left over Christmas Lush goodies? :)
