Christmas festivities!

Well hey there internet!

Christmas time means there are all sorts of winter themed events going on around the world like The Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park in London.

Where I live the annual German markets have come to town!

These festive stalls are filled with Christmas/non Christmas related goodies, my personal favourites are the fairy lights stall and the mini pancake stall where I've been indulging in some nutella covered mini pancakes.

Makes my mouth drool just thinking about it.

However, it is not just the stalls that make this place amazing. If you are not someone who gets into 

Christmas spirit then you will if you come here.

The lights, the smells and the atmosphere alone are enough to fill your heart with festive cheer. And that’s if the music in the background hasn't got you to tap your toes to the beat of those catchy Christmas tunes.

Just... look...

*sigh* It's magical

Question of the day: Are there any festive events going on where you live?

Sunday series part 2: PJs that are too cosy!

Well hey there internet,

Hope your all enjoying your Sunday :) Mine has been relaxing yet productive which is an odd but satisfying combination.

I've just had my Sunday bath, got change into my PJs and currently listening to a 'chilling out' playlist on spotify.

I wake up in the mornings to find frost all over the ground when I look outside my window, which means one thing, its winter!

Cue the arty farty pictures on tumblr, instagram, pinterest etc of people wrapped up in sweaters drinking hot chocolate in bed.

And yes I will be one of those people taking such pictures.

Now in my opinion I think that although fresh new Pyjamas are comfy, there's nothing like an old set of Jim Jams that have been worn over and over again but are still super comfy.

But I have plenty of those s I bought a new set.

And there's no better place for cheap comfy Pyjamas than Primark
So I bought these these bad boys for £10...

and MY GOODNESS ARE THEY COMFY!

In fact,because I live in the house where the heating is constantly on I actually can only wear them for about a few hours before I get too hot.

But if you live in a chilly place then these are perfect to keep you warm.

When I was browsing through Primark the first thing that drew me to these were obviously the fact that they had Minnie mouse on them before I realised they were the softest things known to man!

I think I'm starting to become obsessed with Minnie, I have Minnie ears and I'm a huge lover of polka dots.

Question of the Day: how do you stay warm?

Window shopping for advent calendars

Well hey there internet,

Now December only means one thing, the countdown to Christmas, it is basically the only reason the month of December exists, to build up the excitement for Christmas and whatnot.

You know what else builds up the excitement for Christmas? Advent calendars!(smooth transition)

Now,I think I'm developing a bit of a tradition here.For the past two years I have bought a One Direction advent calendar.... and this year is no different.

Unfortunately this year I didn't manage to get round to buying a non-chocolate advent calendar this year but I did come across some AMAZING ones that I hope to get my hands on next year (or when I become insanely rich)

The Benefit Beauty calendar is back people! At £60 this is packed with mini samples of your favourite Benefit products making it perfect for all you Benefit fans out there.

Introducing Tesco's FIRST EVER beauty calendar, If you're looking to accumulate a wide variety of products to try out in December then head towards this.

At £50 this includes some of your favourite brands like Nip+Fab. Korres, Katy Perry and my personal favourite, Tanya Burr! 

For all you Nail lovers out there the Ciaté's advent calendar returns.

At £49 this 'Mini Manor'  includes mini versions of their best selling shades and a full size one right at the end.

Candle lovers there's even something for you!

Yankee candle thought it made sense that the worlds best candle company gave back this Christmas

At £29 this Adorable little cottage contains tea light candles of scents that just scream Christmas!

However, the crème de la crème of all advent calendars has to be this one.......

The Jo Malone beauty advent calendar. 

This baby at a whopping £250 is full of Jo Malone beauty products that''ll leave you smelling like a million dollars.

Do you want to know the bad news? Most of these are sold out.

But that doesn't mean we can't plan to buy them next year! Optimism people!

Look at how much more exciting these other ones look than the 1D one! 
I love you 1D but you should probably up your advent calendar game

Question of the day: what advent calendar do you have this year? have you gone for the classic chocolate or are you one of the lucky ones that grabbed one of these?
