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,

Secret Santa Excitement!

              

Hello my Lovelies it's been a while!

So last weekend I was involved in the beauty bloggers chat on twitter when I was drawn to look at another bloggers blog (Jess from http://www.dungarees-and-donuts.co.uk) when I got there I saw that she (and her friend) were going to be holding a secret Santa this Christmas. I had already seen a few bloggers setting up secret santa's but they didn't appeal-I think this one did because you could add beauty products if you wanted but also a mixture of other things, there was also different budgets ranging from £5 to £20 and the girls are going to match bloggers with their price range that they picked and have also asked that each secret Santa when showing their original interest to add 3 things they like and 3 things they dislike so (I guess you can be paired with someone with similar interests/likes/dislikes?!)

I can see why this secret Santa has been so popular, they had to close the list early as they hit over 50 bloggers that wanted to partake! I'm really excited to see who the girls pair me up with....where in the U.K are they? What do they love and hate? and I obviously can't wait to put together a super cute Christmas parcel to send to my chosen recipient (Shhh! I've actually got a few things already!)

Make sure you come back soon to find out what I received from my secret Santa! Are you involved in a blogger secret Santa this year?

Until next time,

                      Tori.

3rd Wish List of 2013!

Hello My Lovelies,

I got thinking earlier about Christmas....Yes I know it's still 4 months away but I firstly I love Christmas and the build up to it, but I also like to buy presents from around about now (August) for friends and family and getting my wish list together (you never know my mum might be reading and will get some ideas!) 

These are things I keep looking at and dreaming about!

First up a Long Champ Le Pliage Bag in brown or red or purple....

 

 

Next up a Tom Tom Sat Nav.

Next thing I would love is... a Cath Kidston kindle case.

Have you thought about Christmas yet? What are on your wish lists?

Till next time,

Tori.

What I got for Christmas 2012.

Hello my lovelies!
So whilst this might be well over due (we now are well into January) I thought I would share with you what I got for Christmas this year! I was throughly spoilt this year as all years-here's just a few of the things I was gifted...

Tangle Teaser: I got a small one as I already have the normal sized one for every day use. This small one is going to come on holidays with me. I love the print that is on this Tangle Teaser so cute and will fit nicely in my bag.

Belfast travel book: I'm off to Belfast next month for a very special birthday (I won't reveal the number as it depresses me wayyyy to much) my family have spilt the cost of my flights, hotel and activities for my birthday gift which is amazing and this book will totally come in handy.

Electric Toothbrush: I had one when I was much younger and for some reason I stopped using it and went back to a bog standard toothbrush. Well for years my mum has been trying to get me to get an electric toothbrush and well...I just haven't-so she gave up waiting and got me one. After using it since Christmas day I don't think I will ever go back to a 'normal' brush again as it makes my teeth feel super duper clean and it has a handy little 2 minute timer!

Lush goodies: You can't go wrong with lots of Christmas Lush products.

Perfume travel atomiser: I've been wanting one of these for ages and lo and behold my brilliant sister knew to get me one. Again perfect for all the holidays I love to go on.

Love Sweet Love sign: I really like the saying Love Sweet Love and again my sister knew this about me so got a company to write this onto a sign (made of wood) which now takes pride of place in my bedroom. Such a lovely thoughtful gift!

Finally something I have wanted, you could almost say needed in my life for some time now..... A Mulberry bag!!! As I said before I have a big birthday coming up this year so my parents offered to give me some money for Christmas/Birthday towards a Mulberry bag. I went and chose it at Shepton Mallet at the beginning of December and I have to say I'm in love-the quality of the leather is just exquisite and is something I can use and have forever. Do any of you have a Mulberry bag or purse? Would anybody like me to do a post on what's in my Mulberry??

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

Till next time,

Tori.
