Christmas Pressies 2015

Hope you all had a good Christmas and today I'm going to show you what presents I received this year.

My main present from my mum this year was a Tatty Teddy slanket. I've wanted a slanket for a while as it's rather cold in my flat and it would be handy to use while I'm on the computer. We found this one is Marks & Spencer so grabbed it as I love Tatty Teddy.

My dad got me this cute kitty cushion as it looks a bit like one of my cats. He also got me the Tokidoki Kabuki Brush, Tokidoki Mirror and Tokidoki Makeup Bag. I love the Tokidoki stuff it's so cute.

My mum also got me some notebooks and coloured pens as she knows I love stationery and I will be adding these to my stationery box.

The last items I got were these Tatty Teddy fluffy pyjamas from my dad and Tatty Teddy Socks from my mum.

I also got a nail polish set and some bath products which I forgot to photograph.

Video: Spooky Box Club October Unboxing

I uploaded my first video to YouTube! I'm so nervous and excited about it, I hope it's not too bad. I did want my first video to be a makeup look but as I've not been well the past week I haven't got round to editing it yet and I wanted to put a video up before the end of the year. So my first video is an unboxing of the Spooky Box Club for October and then hopefully my makeup video will be up next Sunday.

Sudafed Blocked Nose Spray

I have a cold and for me the most annoying part about it is having a blocked nose. A few nights ago I didn't sleep at all as I wasn't able to breathe properly. During that night I did some googling and found that nasal sprays were supposed to be quite good at helping with a blocked nose. I waited all night until my mum got up in the morning so she could take me to buy some, I got the Sudafed Blocked Nose Spray and it is amazing!

I was a bit of a baby the first time using it as I was worried it was going to feel like when you get water up your nose but surprisingly you can't really feel it much. It takes a few minutes to work and then you are able to breathe freely. The Sudafed spray lasts up to 10 hours so you can spray it about 3 times a day if needed. It doesn't get rid of a blocked nose but it helps relieve the discomfort until the cold has gone.

I've had this cold for nearly a week now and I'm really hoping it goes before Christmas Day as I want to enjoy the lovely roast dinner.

Have you tried nose sprays before?
Is there anything you use to help with a cold?

Sticker Haul #2

Here's another sticker haul, I'm totally addicted and want to buy so many but I have to control myself and just buy a few at a time.

I bought from two shops this time and the first one is PlanWithJade. I bought some stickers from her before and they were good quality so thought I'd get some more. I got a few of the sheets from her Wizard Of Oz set, the full boxes, half boxes and decorative sheet. I love the Wizard Of Oz and these look so cute, I can't wait to do a weekly spread with these.

I also got the pamper icons sheet for reminders of when I need to do my hair and wash my brushes etc. The last sheet I got is Christmas themed decorative stickers as it is that time of year, I love the cute little Rudolf.

The second shop I bought from is StickWithMe and I bought two orders from them. These stickers are definitely some of my favourites as they are really cute and eventually I will own everything from the shop.

From the first order I got a lovely Autumn themed sheet with flags and decorative stickers. I got some cute exercise icons as I'm trying to work some exercise into my week and hopefully they'll motivate me.

I wanted to get so many of their stickers but I tried to pick some practical ones first for things that I write in my planner like these cleaning and food shopping icons. I love their cute little faces. Also included was a free sampler sheet in the middle.

The next bunch of stickers I bought was on Black Friday with her sale, I just couldn't resist. As it was coming up to Christmas I got a lot of Christmas themed stickers this time. In my planner I list everything I want to do each day so I got these cute check boxes to use.

I got a couple of decorative sticker sheets as they are just so cute. One is Christmas themed and the other is just Winter themed.

The last sheet I got was this countdown to Christmas stickers and the free sampler with this order is New Year's themed which also includes a countdown.

I've recently ordered some more stickers so they'll probably be another haul coming soon.

Let me know of any cute stickers you've bought?

Review: COLAB Dry Shampoo in Tokyo

Todays review is on the COLAB Dry Shampoo in Tokyo and I have to say I was actually disappointed with this product. I've seen the COLAB dry shampoo in a lot of bloggers and YouTubers favourites so thought this was going to be a great dry shampoo.

Packaging
The packaging of the COLAB Dry Shampoo in Tokyo is lovely and pink and the product has a nice floral scent. There's also have five other scents I think which have different colour packaging.

Application
The application is the same as most other dry shampoos, you just spray onto the roots of the hair. There's a slight white cast but not too much and then you just rub in the product and style.

Outcome
This dry shampoo gives a lot of volume to the hair but I found it left my hair feeling quite a horrible texture, rather dry and not very moveable. My hair actually felt worse after applying this product so for now I'll be sticking to the Batiste dry shampoo.

Where to buy
Superdrug - £2.49

Have you tried any of the COLAB dry shampoos? What did you think of them?

December Goals

Let's recap on my goals for November:

Decorate my planner with stickers - I didn't do a very good job with this one, I started to do it but then I just didn't have enough stickers to do what I wanted so I've kind of put this on hold until I get some more.

Eat a bit healthier - Again I didn't do very well with this one although I think I may have eaten less sweets and cakes than last month.

Practice filming - I actually did this one, I only did one practice video but that's better than nothing. I would have tried to do more but as I've spent a lot of this month at my mums it's been difficult.

Now onto December's goals

Make my flat look festive - I did make much effort last year in my flat so this year I really want to decorate more and make it look festive. I've put my tree up already but it's looking a bit bare so I need to get some more decorations for it. If I can get my flat looking nice then I may do a post on all my decorations.

Upload first YouTube video - This is going to be a big one for me but I really want to do this by the end of the year. I've got ideas for a few videos so hopefully I can film, edit and upload them even though I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing but it will be a fun experience.

Join at least one Twitter chat - I always mean to join the #bbloggers chat on Wed and Sun but then when it comes to it I always forget so I'd like to try and join in one this month.

What are some of your goals for the month?

November 2015 Favourites

I haven't got that many favourites this month as I've been spending a lot of the month at my mums helping her get ready for moving house.

Garnier Moisturiser

I mentioned in my review on this product that it had become my new favourite moisturiser so obviously I had to include it in my November favourites as this is the first full month I've been using it. Until I find something that's just as good or better then I will continue to use this moisturiser for as long as needed.

World Of Warcraft

After watching the trailer for the new World Of Warcraft expansion Legion I was really in the mood for playing again so I subbed for a month and I've been enjoying playing on my own and with my sister the past few weeks. I love the panda race, they're just so cute.

This month I have a couple of music favourites which I've been listening to many times on repeat.

Demi Lovato - Confident

Panic At The Disco - Emperors New Clothes

So there's my very small favourites for November
Let me know what you've been loving through November?
