Secret Santa Revealed!

Hello My Lovelies!

Well over a month ago I joined Jess from (http://www.dungarees-and-donuts.co.uk) and her friends bloggers Secret Santa. I was given the lovely Louise who blogs over at http://kinderhealthandbeauty.blogspot.co.uk/ I scoured her blog to see the types of products and things she loves, and then on November 30th I sent them all wrapped and on there way to Lancashire....I'll let Louise tell you all about what I bought her on her blog!

This week my Secret Santa present arrived and it's absolutely gorgeous! 

One of my likes in my original email to Jess was that I loved Yankee Candles and my Secret Santa did not disappoint! I received 12 Happy Christmas tea lights that smell devine and the cutest mouse candle holder.

 

My Secret Santa revealed herself in a wonderful card as Lauren Munday at 

http://laurennmundayy.blogspot.co.uk/ I immediately tweeted her that I had received the present and that I would now be an avid reader of her blog!

I'm so glad that I took part in this Secret Santa, I loved reading my recipients blog for present ideas, going out buy them, wrapping them and then sending them off. Equally I loved waiting to receive mine and who it was going to be from. I think the idea was a great way to celebrate Christmas and to make new blogger friends!

So thanks to Jess and her friend for putting it altogether and I'll definitely take part again next year!!!

Did any of you take part in a Secret Santa through bloggers or maybe one at work/school/college. I'd love to know what you gave and received!

Till next time,

Things I'm loving this month...November!

Hello My Lovelies,

So I thought I'd share with you the things I'm loving this month!

I absolutely adore my Michael Kors Jet Set bag. The bag is made of the softest, scrumiest (yes I know not a word, but you know what I mean!) black leather, it has gorgeous gold chain handles and is just the right size. I'm so glad I bought it when I saw it in TK Max earlier this year as it is now my only winter bag and I've not seen it being sold any where since.

Next up is The Body Shop almond hand and nail cream. I got this for free a couple of months ago and I've kept it for the harsher winter months that we now seem to be entering and it is a total god send. I love the smell and the texture on my hands as it's not greasy and sinks in really fast.

Next.... My heated blanket! My mum bought me one as I complain about being cold allllll the time. Heated blankets are addictive though as I find I never want to get out of bed now!

 

Yankee Candle in Fireside Treats... I've never really been into candles but recently I was on Clinton Cards and they had 25% off of this candle. Once I had taken a sniff of this candle I knew I had to have it, I'm currently on to my second one I love it that much!

 

Next up my Primark tartan scarf- I was bought this as an early Christmas gift, if I hadn't been given it I definitely would of bought it. I'm loving the tartan trend, I currently have three different coloured tartan skirts for work and my scarf is now a firm favourite. It looks way more expensive then a Primark buy and it's super warm and cosy! If you haven't got one yet what are you waiting for?

And finally my iPhone 5s in gold!!! This is my first ever iPhone after being with Blackberry for as long as I can remember. I have no idea why it has taken me so long to make the switch as I am now totally addicted, it never leaves my side. When I saw the gold iPhone was going to be released I knew that I had to have it, so I have now officially joined the modern world, whoop!

What are your favourite things this month I'd love to know!

Till next time,

4th Wish List of 2013!

Hello My Lovelies,

I  thought I would share with you some items I can't seem to get out of my head and if I had plenty of cash these would be the things I'd be picking up from the shops ASAP!

First up....

Nars Sheer Glow.

I've been wanting this foundation for ages now, I  think I may of had it on a previous wish list and I still haven't bought it. I think the fact it's so expensive and there is no shop near me that sells it/colour match me has meant that it's still on the wish list!

Next...

Kurt Geiger Ace Tote bag in black or grey. 

 

I only recently came across this bag and I love it, however when I went looking for it on the Kurt Geiger website I found it had gone into their sale and was out of stock. I can't find any where else selling it which means I probably won't be able to buy it 😩

My next coveted item is a purple winter pom pom hat from Top Shop!

I bought one of these last year in the green- I don't think this will stay on my wish list for much longer!

I saw this on a YouTube video in a Christmas gift guide and is some thing I would love to use for work, not sure I can justify the price though at £14.95.....

Finally I've had my eye on Sigma make up brushes for a while now and I've heard that on Black Friday ( the day after Thanksgiving) they do free international postage, so I'm very tempted to take advantage of deal and order some!

What have you got your eye on, is it some thing you've asked Santa for?

Till next time,
