Memories of Christmas Past | Blogmas

I can't believe it's the last day of blogmas! Although I haven't been posting daily, I've really enjoyed posting lots of festive posts throughout December, and of course reading them! As it's Christmas Eve I thought I'd share some memories of Christmas past and some of the family traditions that I still love at 19.



Christmassy Cinnamon Cookies | Blogmas

These are only Christmassy because cinnamon always makes me think of Christmas for whatever reason, but of course these are delicious all year round - who doesn't love cookies?! They're handy for having in a tin for unexpected visitors over Christmas, especially as they're vegan if you use dairy free 'butter' and can be made gluten free easily so lots of allergens are covered for. The recipe is really easy and quick, so perfect for when you're busy leading up to Christmas but still want to make some sweet treats.



Festive Reads | Blogmas

Lots of people are recommending their favourite Christmassy films to cuddle up under a blanket to watch, however I'm all about the books so here are two of my festive book recommendations.



Christmas Day Make Up | Blogmas

For Christmas Day I want my makeup to be easy and quick, but still look very pretty and easy to maintain throughout the day. For this reason a golden eye and nude lip is the look I've gone for. Bold lips are pretty and I love them at this time of year, but eating, drinking and kiss people thank you on the cheek means something simple is going to be much easier to keep up without going patchy.



Festive Gratitude List | Blogmas

A while back I wrote my gratitude list, a list of things I'm grateful for and I thought I'd do a little festive version as there's so much for me to be thankful for this Christmas.




Festive Red Lip | Blogmas

It's hardly a secret that I love me a nude lip, however having recently branched out to bolder looks I thought I'd share my favourite red lip combination and make up look for the festive season.



The Christmas Tag | Blogmas

I'm back with another blomas post! After reading the Christmas tag here I thought it was such a cute little tag and the perfect post for getting me in the festive mood, especially as we're a week into December!

Childhood Nostalgia With Miffy

A couple of weeks ago I went back to my family home for the weekend and it made me so nostalgic for my childhood and memories associated with growing up. It's a strange thing childhood and teenage years, or it is for me, because I always felt like I'd want to be at home more than anything for my whole entire life - I'd never lived anywhere else so it was natural I suppose, but moving away has made me see things differently but with a whole load of nostalgia.

The view from my bedroom window that I always took for granted 



Blogmas...?

Am I doing blogmas? Kind of.
