Nats Chats

I did my face Wednesday night for my friend Christmas Party and thought youd like to know which products I used to achieve this look: In order of application I used: New Look - finishing spray - (I know you're meant to use it at the end but I do it at the beginning aswell as I read an article from a pole dancer saying that's what she does to make her makeup last aalllll night) Seventeen Stay Time Long Wear Primer - It stinks but as long as you apply it quickly before it dries it should last Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation - Its just a nice medium coverage foundation which amount wise has lasted a long time Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer - It does the job, great for red pigment but not so great for shielding spots and dark circles - concealer is a tricky one for me Maybelline Fit Me Concealer - This is great for dark circles and does help with spots aswell. Baby Powder - yes I used this as a baking powder - mostly to hide my dark circles even more - It's

I mean...it's pretty self explanatory I know, I missed a day, Im sorry. However, I have realised that this now means we are on track now as I accidently started the "12 days" a day early, so now it means we'll finish on christmas eve as planned. My math skills are clearly lacking. 7:30 - (not so) rudely awoken by my mother after my alarm failed. 7:45 - Actually got out of bed and went down stairs to a breakfast of Pain au Chocolat. Very nice, only ate one of them so hid the other in the bin because I was too full and in a rush.                        *Cue a day if College "fun" with hardly any christmas events whatsoever.* 2:00 - Driving lesson, I'm pretty sure that my instructor was half an hour early but I may be wrong. 3:30 - Arrived home and had a drink - im not entirely sure why this took so long but... 4:00 - danced around my room whilst deciding what to wear to tonight's christmas party - whoop, whoop. Finally settled on a basic gr

FUN FACT: I Love mixing drinks and so can regularly be found being to mixologist at the party making a deadly concoction that will make you very drunk, very quickly (mostly because you drink it like water cause it tastes so good and then suffer the consequences later once you realise the strength of it!) So anyway, this blog post is going to be LIT! *cringe* Each of these are equally delicious with or without alcohol, all the recipes listed are with alcohol but if you take away that it can still be enjoyed soberly. I cannot take credit for all of these at all as most are recipes taken from else where and then edited for clarification and general accessibility. If you make any of them ... sorry. Side note - add ice to all of these as it just makes it better - even if it is a little cold for winter First up is one I have forgotten the name of and so shall be called "Rouge Reindeer" for some Christmas cheer. a sliced orange  30 ml - cream of coconut 450 ml - cra

You know what? This may be my favourite topic to talk about. Who am I kidding THIS IS THE BEST TOPIC TO BLOG ABOUT! Yes that's right FOOOOOOODDDDD!!! Today I will giving you a list of my top picks for Christmas nibbles and meals. Some will be branded whereas others are more general foods (this could even be a hint to everyone out there looking at what to get me for Christmas!) To start off with it what Christmas is made of for me. Since discovering these a few years ago, I have fallen in love. They are paired perfect with a cup of tea, adding to your daily calorie intake in no time. These are the "Favourina Spiced Biscuits" you can find at Lidl for a measly £1.39. they taste absolutely glorious and I've already been through a whole pack this Christmas! They are a perfect size and have festive cut outs on them - beautiful! Click here to see Next up is a more general one which I often eat all year round (on a sunday - hint hint), but are extra special in winte

After yesterdays Shambles of a blog post I am very happy to have a more relaxing article to write you. Today i will be sharing my pick of the top 10 Christmas films. I must add that i have only included the well known ones as I have seem hundreds of little known ones (thanks to Channel 5) and to be honest, they all share the same story line: Girl loses Christmas spirit, finds it in a man. Don't get me wrong, I love them and do entirely enjoy them but...I mean... they could mix it up a bit. I have actually just returned from a Carol Service which was lovely and has made me feel all warm inside so I am officially ready for Christmas (although I will be praying that my mums Christmas present arrives on time!) Anyway, let us begin, I have decided to order the following most popular Christmas films from that I like most to least: Elf, Home Alone, It's a Wonderful Life, Love Actually, The Polar Express, White Christmas, The Muppets Christmas Carol, The Grinch, Jingle All The Way

Hello my dears, Today we shall be delving into the fortress that is my Wardrobe where I shall select for you a range of outfits for the christmas period, suitable for a range of occasions; formal, party, work and casual. Be warned: I am not a model, I do not have a decent camera phone so used my semi decent camera that is having an off day annoyingly, so...yeah... Up First is our "out out" attire which is this little sequin dress that I wore to a New Years Eve party last year, I think it embodies this time of year and all the celebration it brings, because, lets be honest...you can never have too much glitter and sparkle! This gorgeous dress is originally from New Look and I bought it to begin with to wear to my prom after party, so it does hold a lot of good memories. Next we have this lil outfit which is probably one of my favourite looks in this collections of pics. After seeing a picture on pinterest ages ago i've been looking for an enti

I am writing this whilst watching "The Holiday" and Jude Law just said 'You're lovely' to Cameron Diaz, so basically...im very happy right now! But anyway on with todays post, and what a complex one I have for you today. It's something we get worry about every year, so I thought that if I told you mine for the year, they may inspire you. But first I must say, you probably tell yourself every year, but try to get them done as early as you can, cause IT JUST MAKES IT EASIER!!! But anyway, I wont judge. We're all friends here. So let us start with the REAL head of my house hold, me mamma. This year she actually chose her own Christmas present (though, i dont think she remembers!) a few months ago, which was a bamboo wind chime. This particular one was from The Range (an AMAZING homewear shop we have in the UK). Unfortunately, that particular one is now out of stock. However I found an equally pretty one on the fantastic world of ebay which better come in

This may be the most important post you read this Christmas so, don't stop... you have been warned. Hello Darlings, Today I will be guiding you on how to get out of life's most awkward Christmas moments, because lets facts it, it's a sticky time of year, awkwardness lurks at every Christmas tree filled corner. So I shall waste no time at all because some of these may have occurred already: 1) PRESENTS This has it's own section because SOOOOO much can go wrong with presents, it's bad enough picking them out for everyone else, but you forget the horror of having to open them in front of everyone else. The First one is opening a present, you absolutely hate, like literally does this person even know you? What is it? What is that? What does it do? I can't even! But little do you know, whilst these questions are rushing through your head, your face is reacting to them, meaning that everyone can see EXACTLY WHAT YOU THINK OF THAT VERY PRECIOUS ARTICLE YOU HA

Good Morning/Noon/Night my loves and welcome to Natsmas Day 2! Today's blog post also has a very short youtube video to go with it which you can go to here:  Natsmas Day 2 Below are my picks for my favourite baubles on my tree this year which will be most unhelpful to you seeing as I have no clue where they are from, but anyway - here we go I mean show me a bauble that better embodies Christmas.  I love the colours, i love the patterns and how else would you top off Christmas than with a little bit a shine (the gem in the middle) - PERFECTION! I mean... LOOK AT IT...I feel like a posh ass b*tch. This is quite possibly the fanciest bauble on my tree. I mean look at that shiny bod, those swirls of gold and the little baby silver gem leaves. Gorgeous. I swear she does have a face, the flash was justa tad bright. This little gem I actually bought my self many moons ago when I was a wee girlie. It was never intended to be Christmas decoration but has gained th

Hello my lovelies, and Welcome to the first day of Natsmas!!!
