What I Got For Christmas 2015!

So Christmas is over and we all have to start getting back into the swing of things, so while I have time off work I thought I'd put that little bit extra into my blog. I know I abandoned it for just over a week but it was Christmas and I just got so busy.

Am I the only one that enjoys watching 'What I Got For Christmas' videos or blog posts? Well I am going to do my very first one! I am so grateful for all the gifts I received from my family and friends I didn't ask for anything in particular it was mainly just odd bits but everything was by far amazing!! I won't link what I got but if there is anything you want to know about in particular just leave a comment and I will get back to you. I know I am quite late to be doing one of these but oh well better now then never!

This year from my parents I didn't really give them much help as I didn't really want anything, I think from getting older and having a job I would rather just buy it myself instead of them spending their money on me. This did however make it a bit more exciting for me on Christmas because it was basically all down to what they thought I would like/use.

From my mum, dad and sister I got;

- Liz Earle Botanical Skincare Set

- Yankee Candle Wax Melt Burner and Melts

- Pug Socks and pillows

- Frozen Olaf potato head 

- Real Techniques Brushes

- Small Bits which were stocking fillers.

My friends got me;

- Chocolates and Wine

- Yankee Candles

- Zoella Bath Bombinis
- Tanya Burr Nail Kit

- Bluebird Tea Company 

- Pug Tea infuser

- Liz Earle Special Edition Cleanse Polish

One of my friends did a really sweet thing which was to have all the presents in a box and then there was little notes on them which you needed to open in a certain order, to me it's things like this which makes opening presents a lot more meaningful and fun! From opening my presents it actually shows me how well people know me as you can guess I do love Pugs and Olaf which is why I received so much. I am very grateful for all of my presents but I thought I would keep this short and sweet because a lot of my next posts are going to be small hauls, as you all know the Christmas Sales were amazing this year and I definitely got A LOT!

I will be doing a Christmas Sales Haul Post and a What I Got For My Birthday Haul as this was on the 27th! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas or if you don't celebrate Christmas I hope you had a lovely day! Happy New Year and Wishing You All The Best For 2016!!!

Until Next Time,

⛄ German Christmas Market ⛄

There is nothing that can get you in the Christmas mood like the German Christmas Market. The Christmas lights, mulled wine, beer and being able to get all wrapped up looking around the small stalls. Which I'd like to add are definitely quirky in their own way. You can pick up some nice gifts from the German Market if you want to give a present with it's own added touch which can't be found everywhere, it gives it that little more personal sense to it with them usually being a one off.

I have been to the Christmas market before and the one thing to always catch my eye is the candles, nothing new there because I am always buying candles. So I decided to buy some they were adorable with them being Christmas themed and I thought why not it was 10 for £12, or 1 for £1.50 so I thought why not may aswell get 10 plus I think it would have been quite hard to just pick a couple.

From looking around this year I noticed that honey and beeswax is a big thing, from beeswax candles to honey alcohol which my friend did get she got 'Hot Honey Mead' which in my opinion was very weird, it smelt like vinegar and cough medicine weird mix I know. From having a sip of this it was alright but the aftertaste was weird not bad but weird, luckily I didn't get one for myself as I wouldn't have been able to drink all that myself.

The food there is amazing it's the usual potato cakes, garlic bread, german sausage etc or sweet treats like popcorn, sweets and waffles. They do some amazing marshmallows which are HUGEE! however I can't eat these with me being a vegetarian but my mum and sister did get some, sadly I wasn't quick enough to get a picture of these before they got eaten.

Hopefully I will be going back to the German Christmas Market with my friends so I will be able to pick up some more things hopefully, it's such a lovely atmosphere and it just gets you in the Christmas spirit.

Until Next Time,
