Yes its a bit early, do i care? NO. Anyways its never to early to be festive, i mean Christmas isn't that far away now is it? 
I got tagged by Sarah  so thank you :) 

What is your favorite....?  

1. Festive Food
Lamb, and apple sauce, Stuffing, potatoes, Yorkshire puddings pigs-in-blankets, the whole lot. OMG and my mum makes one hell of a trifle at Christmas!



2. Reindeer
Rudolph?


3. Day of Christmas
Christmas Eve of course. The day before Christmas, everyone is all excited, the presents are under the tree, and my niece and nephew get all excited and its just so lovely to see. 
I also like the build up to Christmas, so like a month before hand, when all the Christmas bedding and ornaments are out, and you know its not long till the day comes. 



4. Christmas Song
I'm not really a Christmas song person, but anything Christmassy ill sing along too! 




5. Christmas Present

I think most presents are great presents, I love pretty much everything i get so i cant pick a favorite.



6. Christmas Film
Polar Express has got to be my number one. Also the classics, Home Alone, Elf and the Grinch. Oh oh oh, also just any films that are on the true Christmas channel.. 




7. Christmas Cracker Toy

The dice? or set of cards!!! 




8. Christmas Cracker Joke

They all seem to be pretty cheesy and funny, maybe its the wine, or maybe its the Christmas spirit but they always have me giggling. 


9. Decoration 
CANDLES!!!!!

10. Candle Scent
Cinnamon 

11. Christmas advert
the coca cola advert of course! when that hits the TV you know Christmas is coming!

12. Festive tradition
Making Christmas tree decorations, that's something we do every year.

13. Place to spend Christmas
Definitely at home. All my family come over and we spend it as a family like when we were younger. 

14. Festive fact
Christmas is the time to enjoy our selfs, eat a mince pie, stuff your face with chocolate and enjoy the time off school, college, uni or work:) 

15. Snowman accessory
A cute woolly scarf and hat, plus a carrot! 

Answering these questions made me think about Christmas a LOT! OMG I'm so excited.
I'm nominating everyone that's reading this to do the tag.

Leather Jackets have got to be one of the most simple ways to add a bad girl kind of look to your outfit. Paired with a pair of jeans or a party dress they can add some edge to a simple outfit so here are two looks that i have put together for you all. 


A dinner date with friends or a meal with the family? 
This look is for you! Pair your leather jacket with a pair of comfy jeans and a baggy cotton tee black heals and matching clutch.

Heading to a holiday party? Dress down your party look with a simple red dress, and black accessories.
A Statement piece necklace will work wonders with the red dress, another great way to get attention off other areas of your body if you wish to do so. 



What do you think of these outfits?
How do you wear your leather jacket?

Ever since the first launch in 2010, the urban decay naked palette has become somewhat of a craze for all beauty addicts. All 3 Naked palettes are packed full with 12 stunning neutral based shaded which can be used the create a variety of different looks. I have had my eyes on these palettes for some time now, and luckily i managed to get my hands on the Urban decay Naked 2 this October. 








My fav's out of the 12 coulor's are Half baked, booty call, tease, pistol and verve. On first glance the more matte colour's are booty call and tease which are just lovely base colour's to use for an everyday makeup wear. Half baked, pistol and verve are all stunning shimmering colour's that make your eyes sparkle. 

This pallet was the first ever urban decay item i owned, and i am in love with it. I use it pretty much everyday (going from never using eye shadow's much) All the colour's in this pallet are beautiful, they are very creamy powders with great pigments which mean i can really experiment with blending and creating different eye looks.

Also let me just point out, that it comes with one amazing brush too.

For a while now, I've been a bit lazy, not just with my log but with everything. I have been finding it hard to go out, to see people (even close friends) and haven't been able to walk my dogs because i kept getting paranoid. I also realised that this has made me not want to do anything what so ever. That's why i haven't blogged in a while, as well as finding it had to see people I've been finding it hard to talk, about my problems or about stuff i love or want to tell you guys about!

I have been trying to motivate myself for a while, and after flicking though LOTS of fashion bloggers, i have realised that's that is something i love yet have never spoke about... after all i studied fashion and textiles at college... Now I'm not saying I'm going to post about my own outfits because I'm not confident enough for that, but i will be talking a lot more about fashion i love, street fashion where i live, and clothing lines that are coming out very soon, but as well as that, stuff behind the making of clothes, designs (maybe even some of my own) that i like. 

I want to do this, because i find that when I'm writing about something in less its a review, it doesn't give me that proud feeling, in fact, half the time i feel a bit boring and who wants to be boring? 

I think I'm going to take a few days to get myself together, to get motivated, and prepare myself for the about of change that is going to happen, not just to my content, but to my schedule too. I'm going to aim for every other day, so keep your eyes pealed for fashion, beauty, and hair related post, that fingers crossed wont be as boring as the rest of the stuff on here:)

School, College or Work, we all like to have simple yet cute and stylish hair styles. If you don't, you must be mad! 
After trying a lot of different simple hair styles out, these are the four i liked the most, with links to the step by step how to's, I liked them so much, i wanted to share them with you.
Depending on how long your hair is, or how layered it is, some might work for you, and some might not, but why not give it ago?

Make-up, something i have always enjoyed using. I totally understand why people love make-up and i also totally understand why people don't. I have always loved messing around with makeup, dressing up and doing make overs were always so much fun for me growing up. Recently, i have been enjoying it a lot more though, I have been watching how too's and seeing over peoples make-up collections have sort of made me crave make-up. 

For my birthday, a friend kindly brought me the urban decay Naked 2 pallet. Which i have loved experimenting with so much over the last two weeks. This had also made me crave make-up a lot more, so with the money i had left over from my birthday i treated myself to a new foundation brush. 

Here' a few piccys...




I went into the store looking for a brush set, but when i spoke to the woman from the Urban decay counter, she explained that they did not sell sets (even though i wasn't looking for an urban decay set) 
She then kindly got out her own set that she had collected, and explained to me the different types and what they were used for and how much they were, this got me a lot more interested, because this way i could build my own set. 

I picked up the Good karma optical blurring brush for £20

I chose to get a foundation brush to start my set because its the one i had been wanting badly for a while, as the one i had left lines on my face, and i had to re blend it in with my fingers. 

I have never been more happy with applying my make-up. It is unbelievably soft and does a perfect job of applying my foundation correctly. It makes my skin look more even and smoother compared to using a sponge or my fingers and works perfect with liquid foundation or powder. Another good thing about this brush is that it is also made out of synthetic hair, which is more hygienic than real hair, and is 100% vegan.

This was defiantly a great buy, and i am so happy i own it, and honestly an only say good things about it at the moment. 

Enjoy,

"Hard times will always reveal true friends"

I like this quote because of how true it is. We all go though a hard time, we all need our friends too yet sometimes "friends" are not always there when we need them. I have recently worked out that those sort of people are not the ones i want to be around. Recently i have been spending time with a lot of new friends, people i have met though two amazing friends of mine. I always seem to be getting messaging asking when I'm next out or free to do something, and if they know I'm upset they are always checking up in me, These are the type of friends i want to be around. The most amazing thing about this, is I've never had friendships like these before.

Thank you to all of those people that have supported me recently.

It's a week into November and most last year, i would be in bed most nights watching a film or 3 drinking hot chocolate. Instead, I've set myself some goals.

This month I'm going to..

Walk everyday - I need to keep fit, even in the cold months, plus walking my cute doggies will help.

Eat better - I need to cleanse, and excising every day helps but eating better will make me feel 100% better. Getting rid of the junk and eating more vegetables is a good start.

Take more pictures - I have always been the girl behind the camera, but sometimes i miss a good opportunity to take some wonderful pictures, so I've set myself the goal of taking my camera out with me. Just so i can remember the good times with my friends. 


Have you set yourself any new goals?

Monday Quote: Create It | Free People Blog #freepeople

No one really knows what is going to happen tomorrow, or the next day or the next. You cant control it, but you sure can create it. If you want something what are you going to do about it? Don't sit around waiting for it to happy, because it may never, the best way to get what you want is to get up and go for it. 

Don't worry about what is going to happy, create a future you want to live in. 

Stay happy
