OMG ITS CHRISTMAS EVE!!! HOW?!?! My, the time has flown, It is now the night before Christmas (apart from there is a lot of stirring in my house at the moment). Today as it's a very special night I wanted to introduce you to someone very, very special to me... My Dog, Cookie: Yeah alright, I can already tell there's going to be a split between the disappointed (those who thought id actually got a boyfriend LOL) and the pleasantly surprised (the dog lovers). I just thought that as Christmas is a time of love you might want to meet the person...well animal I love. I cannot express how much she means to me but she is my equivalent to a daughter. I treat like the baby I never had (I don't plan on having for a long, long time - before questions start being asked) and love her to bits. So Im basically just gonna tell you a little bit about her. She was Born in September 2011 *Cue adorable puppy photo* (Thats my nan by the way, who is an absolute legend!) S...

Omg it's Christmas Eve Eve already! How? It seems like only the other day we started Blogmas and now we're nearly at the end. You know what, even though I did find it annoying having to come up with a new idea to blog about each day and having to actually get off my lazy ass to write something, I think I am actually going to miss you. I know it'll only be a few days before I start blogging again (most probably in the new year) but just think that's NEXT YEAR!!! Anyway for today's blog post I wanted to give you a little tip which will help to make your life seem that little bit better. This is a great idea for when your feeling down or hopeless as every time I read mine it completely boosts my mood (which can seem like an impossibility at times). It's also incredibly simple as all it requires is a pen and paper (or ya know the notepad of your phone). I call it my "moments to remember" page but you can come up with a much more personal or creative na...

i literally got back from watching "Fantastic Beasts and where to find them" about an hour ago which is why this blog post is up a little later that usual. I thought that I would share with you my view of the film and so obviously I'm warning you now that it will contain some spoilers so TURN BACK (if you haven't watched it yet)! So a little back story. I grew up with the Harry Potter films but haven't actually read the books so some may say I'm a fake fan. I do love the story though with a passion and have always loved the magical world they live in and the fact it is in our everyday world... But most of us don't know about it. It's such a gorgeous storyline (in the beginning atleast) and I actually just love all the characters. My favourites probably being; Dobby, Snape, Neville and Luna (to name just a few) and of course the 3 main stars. I walked into the film with not much hope for this new film entering the wizards for world though I'm af...

If you've been reading my blog for a while you will know that at the beginning of the WA I made a blog post titled: "Happy New Year my darling" where I stated 3 New Years resolutions I made for the year 2016. And today I looked back on it and realised that I actually did pretty damn well. My first resolution was to "get that summer bod" which okay was a huge flop. This year I left school and so no longer had to do any type of fitness or sport in school. So basically have done nothing all year and am the most unhealthy I have ever been. So yeah that is definitely gonna be a resolution to make next year aswell. I'm not even gonna attempt to try and get fit by the end of the year because 1) I have 10 days and 2) it's Christmas so I plan to eat and be lazy along with most other people. I did get a exercise bike this year though so do have the possibility of getting fit. Also I have a new found love for Yoga and meditation which although won't get you r...

Today I would like to talk to you about the little things. They really do mean a lot. For example when on the off chance one of you lovely people comments on my blog I cannot express the huge amount of fulfilment and gratefulness that flows through me. I am sent an email whenever I get a like or comment or new follower and let me tell you, when I do receive that email it is the highlight of my day. I don't think most people realise how much everyone else means to them. For example I sometimes struggle to tell others (my friends and family) how thankful I am when they do the smallest things. This is more focussed on friends I feel. Your friends have chosen to stay with you, your family it has no choice. Isn't that amazing? The fact there are people out there that chose you to enjoy themselves with instead of anyone else. I think that's the most precious thing in the human world. The fact that unknowingly, we have the capability of completely changing another's perspectiv...

I AM THE WORST BLOGGER IN THE WORLD!!! ffs I missed it again, I am so, so sorry about the catasrphie which is Blogmas 2016. I dont know what's happened, it all started off so well. My excuse for last night is, I forgot about it all day and then when I went out with my friends for a mini xmas quiz and party I suddenly remembered and asked my blogger friend (Amelia - http://swiftbooks13.blogspot.com/) to take apicture of what I was wearing as a little: what to wear at Christmas guide, nut then I proceeded to get a fair amount of alcohol in my system and well... the rest is history. So that is what I will do right now and we're all gonna have to try to imagine that this blogpost went up yesterday, okay? On the upside, I did get round to filming a cheeky Vlog yesterday of a christmas Q and A whilst wrapping type thing. It may never see the light of day (YouTube) because im pretty sure what I filmed was a load of Sh**, but oh well. Hello Friends today ( ;-) ) I am going to be sha...

Before I start I would just like to say I am aware that this is going up a day late but that is because christmas is a very busy time of year and I simply had no time to upload last night. I am also aware that this is not a very christmassy themed blog post but it is a real passion of mine and I feel like Blogmas is all about you getting to know me. In todays blog I will be sharing and talking through some of my favourite hair colour ideas I have found on Pinterest over the years. But first allow me to tell you my hair colour story: I once ombre'd my hair red. Yeah thats it. For someone who is obsessed with coloured hair I have a pretty boring personal history of hair but I am still in a college which doesn't like you having "un-natural" hair so for now i'll just have to wait. So anyway lets begin on our hair journey through the universe of pinterest... THE OMBRE'S: Here are the dyed hair styles which are a tad less crazy and vibrant for those that just...

Okay so I may have accidentally skipped at day...But come on it's my first time, everyone makes mistakes (cheeky ;-) )! But to make it up to you I have uploaded a video to NatsChatsTV (my YouTube Channel for those who don't know) where I showed you a quick summary of The 1975 show I went to last night. IT WAS AMAZING! Although it was the reason I didn't upload a blog post. But just think instead of writing something I gave you something which requires much less effort (on your part at least) all you have to do is watch a video to find out what I was up to instead of reading a horrifically spelt blog. But anyway moving onto today's Blogmas I though I'd take advice from my old pal Stevie Wonder and tell you "what Christmas means to me". For many it's a time to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ (It is a religious holiday dont forget) but I feel like it has evolved from the original meaning. To be it is now an opportunity to meet with all my family a...

Right before I start this can I just get one thing straight, I am not a beauty blogger or a nail artist and I am genuinely shocking at painting my own nails. Never the less I thought you'd enjoy this quick tutorial. For this look I used: Sally Hansen Insta Grip Faat Dry Base Coat, Collection Hot Looks in colour 37 (Bongo Beats) and Mad Beauty Nail Varnish in a glittery red. You can customise your own any way you want but I put the top glitter on all of my nails cause I wanted them to match. Before looking I will say I am an addicted nail bitter so my nails aren't the best length. Started with bottom coat:  Then put on two coats of the green Then to finish I did one layer of red glitter on all of them. You could just paint glitter on your ring finger which is what I normally do but I though as its Christmas you can get away with a bit more glitz That is the finished product (it looks much better in real life but my camera wouldn't ...

Today my lovelies I bring to you my Best Christmas Biscuit Recipe. I modified this from  http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/863657/spiced-and-iced-christmas-trees. Well let us begin! You Will Need: 100g butter, chopped 175g dark muscovado sugar 85g golden syrup 350g plain flour, plus extra for dusting 1 tbsp ground ginger ¼ tsp ground cloves 1 tsp ground cinnamon 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda 1 egg, beaten (Plus your choice of icing) The Steps: Gently melt the butter, muscovado sugar and syrup in a large pan until the sugar dissolves. Mix the flour, spices and ½ tsp salt.  Cool the butter mixture a little, then stir in the bicarb. Immediately add half the spiced flour and beat well. Add the egg and the rest of the spiced flour, then beat well again until the mixture comes together as a soft dough.  Tip onto a sheet of foil, flatten to a large disc, then cool and chill until firm (This took me 30 mins). Will freeze for up to 6 weeks. ...

Christmas Time, is a season of joy and celebration for many, it's an opportunity for people to spend time with their family and friends that they may not typically see. It seems everyone is drinking steaming beverages and gorgeous food and overall just enjoying themselves snuggled up by the fire. But none of this is possible for a lot of people. Last year there were 3'500 people sleeping rough in England and in the USA 1.49 million people were in shelters and 578'000 were on the streets. That means no christmas dinner, drinks or presents for hundreds of thousands in the world and in 2015 it was estimated 1.6 billion people (thats nearly a third of the population) don't have adequate housing. Now I know that for many of you it can be frightening to approach someone on the street or you don't think you can do anything about it. And thats fine, you don't NEED to. But the problem is that due to the worlds unsteady economy and controversial politics it would be so ...

Today my lovelies I bring to you my favourite Pinterest outfit ideas for the winter/Christmas season. I have complied them into 3 sections; casual, party and pj...I feel like I should've used alliteration hang on...parenthetical (googled synonyms). Here are your parenthetical, party and PJ outfits for the season. Parenthetical: For the everyday https://uk.pinterest.com/pin/239042692695447481/  Cute, family friendly outfit, may be a bit boring for some bit I think it's sweet https://uk.pinterest.com/pin/337558934551184247/ The basic outfit everyone wears at Christmas but still manages to look chic on models. I'm sure you'll be wearing this anyway but it's always a great staple https://uk.pinterest.com/pin/343118065336628005/ This again is another outfit you'll see around this season but I absolutely loved the jumper and think the colour simply sums up winter and Christmas in one Party: Christmas parties are coming...

Wow these posts are getting later and later. But you know as it's Friday I thought that I would cater for those among us who do have good social lives by offering some pretty dang nice mixers. Now every year J2O bring out GLITTER BERRY around Christmas time which is the most magical drink I think I have ever seen! It's flavoured with Grape, Cherry and spice (if that doesn't say Christmas I don't know what does) and every single "cocktail" below includes it. It's pretty damn nice on its own though and limited edition so if you wanna try it HURRY UP AND FET YOUR HANDS ON ONE!   The non-alcoholics: Perfect blended with lemonade or sparkling water for that added fizz so everyone can enjoy a cheeky Christmas concoction The Alcopholics Can also be mixed with Vodka, Tequila, Prosecco or pretty much anything to be honest. It's an amazing way to get into the Christmas "spirit" - see what I did there! I hope you enjoyed this ...

Hello everybody, today I thought I'd share with you all the Christmas jumpers I have this year. I'm afraid none of them were bought this year but I'll still tell you where they were from so you can try and find them if you wish. Feel free to show me your ones and tell me which of mine are ypur favourite 1) Robin Jumper from George at Asda I think this is literally one of the cutest ones I have, and it so so soft! Literally putting this on is like slipping into a fluffy blanket (worst simile ever) 2) Christmas Penguin from Papaya in Matalan. This is probably my most Christmassy jumper (I know I need some new ones). This is also super fluffy but with the random sequins which add an added crunch! 3) Pura Moda Dalmation jumper. This is probably my least Christmassy jumper but I feel like it's perfect for a more formal situation (possibly a Christmas meal?) and the colour goes with pretty much anything 4) So I lied this is even less Christm...
