A Day At John Lewis Oxford Street

Hey Guys!

I can't believe it is already a week after Christmas and that it is the New Year. But yesterday, Abi and I, as well as our families went up into London. We went to the Olympic Park and walked around, but when it got dark we went over to John Lewis in Oxford Street. Due to the new advert with the man on the moon, they have made their roof terrace into a winter wonderland. There are loads of trees and fake snow, surrounded by balconies and fairy lights. 

We arrived before it started to get really dark, however it was really pretty to see the sun set. I took loads of pictures and had so much fun walking around still feeling really Christmassy. It allowed us to take some time out and have loads of fun. 

There were three snugs that you could sit in. Seeing as there were eight of us, we managed to grab one called 'Midwinter Snug' as well as some hot chocolate! It was lit with fairy lights and a huge light up 'NOEL' was behind us, as well as lots of other decorations. We managed to take some really pretty pictures at lots of opportunities. 

 

As I took loads of pictures, I decided that I could use some editing skills and apps to create some different, interesting pictures, and get creative! When we were waiting for our dinner, I edited some pictures. I used an app called Super Impose, which allows you to put two different pictures together, add filters and make them transparent. I made two and put one of them on my Instagram. I am not sure which one I prefer, however some worked better than others.

I hope that you have a great week and a Happy New Year!

Realaxing on Christmas Eve

Hey Guys!

Merry Christmas Eve! I can't believe that it's already Christmas, it doesn't feel like it at all! Today I thought I might share with you what I do on Christmas Eve before tomorrow! So sit back, relax, and enjoy sharing with me what you do too...

I like to start off by making sure that my room is decorated, to bring some more vibes to my room. The other day I was out and found some pink tinsel that matches my room and decided to get some that I could place on my wire. It adds some more colour and stretches a long way.

I also like to put on some fairy lights both on my tree, as they add a lot of light and make some pretty pictures, but also in the living room where I hang my stocking as well.

I then like to have a nice bath where I can use some Christmas shower gel and a lush bath bomb/bubble bar. I received some shower gel for Christmas from my friend, and so I used the 'Spiced Cinnamon.' It gives off such a strong smell but definitely smells of Christmas...

I then got a load of bath bombs for my birthday recently and one of them was the 'Candy Mountain bubble bar.' It's quite sickly but creates lots of bubbles making you all smooth and relaxed.

Lastly, I like to end my Christmas Eve by getting into my cosy pyjamas and watching a Christmas film. This year my favourite has to be 'Nativity' as it is so funny and interesting. However another traditional Christmas film is 'The Snowman.'

Hope you have a great Christmas and that you get what you want and have lots of fun.

Christmas Ideas?

Hey Guys!

I wasn't quite sure what to write about today, but I thought maybe something short and cute would be a good idea. In the end, I decided I would go for a quote, but this isn't just an ordinary quote, it's one that needs a bit of thinking about!

This is more of a wordle, however I think it was an interesting on to talk about. Not only does it remind people of Christmas, but it also shows what goes on. It puts across a thought of how many feelings can be put across at Christmas, however people don't always think about these.

You would think that people would think of presents, however these are other happy things that are left behind. Just think, are you bringing joy at Christmas through your family or hugs and kisses.

One to think about!

Photo Booth Frenzy

Hey Guys!

So it was my birthday at the weekend and I had a party with all my friends. I decided that I had too many to have a sleepover, so in the end I opted for a movie theme. One of the things we did was have a photo booth. I am going to tell you the steps to create the best photo booth for any occasion.

Firstly you need to create a backdrop. We just used a bed sheet that was dark so that our faces could be seen. Any colour will do however we went for red.

Another thing you can do is get a big frame. We bought a set that came with a frame and props that we put on card and held. A frame can really add effect to the picture and bring out the fun in what you are doing.

Lastly is the props. What would a photo booth be without props?? Glasses on sticks, wigs you name it anything will work! Buy some sticks and card and even make your own?! You can buy wigs and props from pretty much anywhere. Get creative!

However you do it is up to you. Just have fun...

Here are a few cheap and cute easy ideas that you can do or get for your friends...

1) Secret Santa

This is always a fun one and is always a great idea if you have a large group of friends. There are many things you can get such as chocolate, however more fun and unique ideas are better. Maybe some Christmas puppets or some glasses? The choice is yours. Go creative and wild...

2) Chocolate

Now who doesn't like chocolate? This is really easy to find and a wide range can be bought and shared. How about adding some chocolate to a cute little present like a nail polish or maybe doing a chocolate bundle!

3) Something your own

This way it is unique and special to the person. You can make anything from cookies to a tree decoration. Make your presents you. There are many ideas you can get from Pinterest or Instagram. Get the ideas spilling and have fun.

4) Christmas cards

Even just a little card can show your apreciation at Christmas. Maybe even make your own and add a personalised style or add a secret chocolate coin inside!!

Hope these give you some ideas on what you can get your friends this Christmas.
