Happy New Year!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a great start to the New Year!

Both were fairly quiet and family orientated for me, although it was nice :) We also had a Christmas meal at our flat which was fun and cute!

On Christmas Eve, it was really nice not to have to worry about setting an alarm for the next morning! Me and Adam slept like babies, ahh it was so nice. We went to a family friend's house on Xmas Eve for drinks and some food and stuff and it was really fun! It's an old friend of my dad, whose daughters used to babysit me and my sister, and one whom I used to work with! We had this really yummy mini jello shots, and I really want to make some of my own now, as the recipe seems really easy, and it's fun to try them out with your friends~

I don't have any photos of my Xmas gets, but I got a Benefit gift card, some perfume, sweets, and just cute things :)! It was really nice to be around my family too; I kinda miss them now that i'm away all the time :(

New Years weekend was relaxing again, and I got to play with a pug for a good part of it! I almost didn't make it to midnight either as I was extremely tired >.< We played lots of boardgames and Wii too to pass the time, and then when it came to the countdown, we put the TV on to see the fireworks, which were pretty awesome! Here's a video if you didn't get to see them!

I went to H&M in the city centre on NYE with Adam to see if there was anything in the sales and just to have a browse, and I ended up spending the rest of my gift card leftover from my birthday on these:

anyone who knows me, knows I <3 the H&M Hello Kitty socks that they randomly bring out.  Not only are they super cute but there is a double entendre in me 1)loving Hello Kitty and 2)loving Japan ;D Awesome!

I also went to the Body Shop and saw that they were having a sale! Select FULL SIZE Body Butters reduced to £5 (although the Coconut one wasn't included which sucks as it's my favourite) as well as some scrubs and other bits too! I got these:

 The perfume wasn't part of any sales, I just bought it to replace my old Vanilla perfume as the bottle started to leak really randomly (even though I never knew when) and I lost lots of the perfume! I bought it in February last year when I was visiting Monica and Ingvild in Norway, so for a tiny bottle it lasted ages! But I guess it would have lasted a lot longer had the bottle not gone weird :s

But that's mainly it! I've been working since, and trying to think of things to do for this year! Next month will be me and Adam's one year anniversary; weird huh? But really nice of course :D

See you soon!

Hello everyone!

How have you been? At the moment I'm multitasking by blogging, taking photos and cooking dinner whilst listening to Studio Ghibli soundtracks~ I just have to make sure I keep an eye on the food...

Anyway, it's been a little while since my last blog as I've been at work and when I get home I just want to pass out in bed! Thank goodness for days off! (Although I actually do nothing on these days >.<) I can't believe it's Christmas week already!!!!. Have you all done early shopping or are you now part of the huge rush trying to find last minute gifts? I don't really have much of a chance to do proper shopping on the hight street, mainly because of work, and also because I really don't like shopping in Central London!

I'm so used to just shopping in my home town, because this is the first time I've been living away from my family. Me and Adam are going to my parents for Christmas and to his parents for New Year. I'd find it weird if I didn't spend Christmas with my family, regardless as to whether I live with them or not!

Last week I upgraded my phone, and I now have a shiny iPhone 4!

I went for white as it looks cleaner and more fresh than the black. Also, because my previous phone was black and it shows up all the dirt and scratches more easily lol! I can't wait to have some kind of protective "shell" on it though, as I'll have to wait for the New Year before I can really afford to do a custom case for it.

My service provider fucked up my upgrade however, and sent me the phone with a brand new number instead of keeping my old one, so for a week I had 2 numbers! And my bill just came through...£77! It's a joke... Either way, yesterday I spent just over an hour in the phone store and the guy managed to sort it all out for me, so now I'm happy! I decided to sell my old phone online and I should be getting a cheque for just over £100 pretty soon! Not too shabby at all :D

Today I met up with an old friend, who I also dated when I was about 15. He is so lovely, and it was really nice to see him after such a long time! We went for lunch, and then afterwards, I went to buy a last gift for my Mom from LUSH, and I also went to H&M to use up some more of my gift card money. I went to the H&M in Covent Garden as the one in Camden is shit, and the staff there are really rude. It was no surprise that the staff in the Covent Garden branch were also really rude. Fuck them and their £7.99 tops! (What's the point in the .99 anyway?)

Regardless, here is what I bought in H&M:

Acid Wash skinny jeans

Thin top with glittery-ish material

Plain top

I bought the jeans as I wanted some acid wash for ages and didn't bother getting any. The top is cute because I love big tops that are floaty and can be worn on one shoulder :) The plain top? Just something I can wear around the house on a lazy day/casual day out/even bedtime. I bought the black and grey one after having to return the blue and white one I bought the other week as the sales assistant on the till ripped a huge hole in the side whilst trying to remove the security tag....retard. I also bought some track pants the other week, which are SUPER COSY and I love wearing them to chill and sleep in... :p BUT there are holes in the legs too. Seriously, sort it out.

Max Factor Creme Puff in "Gay Whisper"....not my hand btw.

Tomorrow evening, we're having a mini Christmas meal at our flat which should be cute! I need to take a photo of our rainbow tree that Rosie decorated... In fact, here you are:

Cute right?? It looks really good in real life as opposed to photos.

So what are you all doing for Christmas? I hope whatever you do, you have a great Xmas and a fabulous New Year!
