The Christmas Tag 2013

I Love Christmas. It is by far my favourite time of year and what I love most is the build up - the music, the movies, the food... the 1 million social events that are going on - I love it! So when I was tagged to do "The Christmas Tag" by Rebecca at Flores Y Moda I did a high pitched squeal, got out a mince pie and sat down to check out the questions!

1. What is your favourite Christmas song?
Hmm... this is a tough one! I feel like I'm going to have to say Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You! A total and utter obviously classic and obviously choice too but just the sound of the first few jingly notes gets me so so excited! I love it when the little girl sings it at the end of Love Actually! Also the fact that Ariana Grande is releasing Christmas songs has me very much excited!

2. Which is your favourite festive drink?
Well I'm sure everyone else is going to write "gingerbread latte" blah blah blah and as much as I love the sound of that.... I hate coffee! (and don't even get me stated on mald wine)! So there really isn't anything I love at Christmas that isn't a drink I'd have all year round! #boring

3. Do you have a favourite Christmas film?
I have about a million! I love Love Actually (obviously), The Grinch (Taylor Momsen is a babe!), Home Alone 1 & 2, The Holiday, Elf (big lols), Nativity (more lols) & The Santa Clause!

4. What is at the top of your Christmas wish-list this year?
I really don't know, I keep being asked and I just don't know! 
Money towards a 2014 holiday would be #1 I think! Also, of course, the Naked 3 palette (I NEED it!) and maybe a few bits for my new home! (not to mention the driving lessons, michael kors watch, mulberry bag and that life-time supply of chocolate...)

5. What is your favourite festive makeup or nail art look?
I am really loving dark lips - I did a whole post recently on my favourite purple shades! Dark sultry colours are fab on eyes, lips and nails - gorgeous! I also love glitter nail shades for christmas - I have red glitter at the moment and it's making me feel super festive! 

6. What is your favourite outfit at Christmas time? (LBD? Christmas jumper? PJ's?)
Normally I would always stay in my pjs, I love being cosy on Christmas morning - running round in my onesie! But as soon as other people come round I pop on some normal clothing - nothing fancy though. And believe it or not... I've never really made an effort with make-up or hair on christmas day before (don't judge me!).

7. Would you rather play out in the snow or enjoy it from inside with the fire and a cuppa?
Ooo can I not have both? Play in the snow until I am too cold then head inside for a cup of tea nd a mince pie - perfect!

8. Wrapping presents - love or loathe?
Loathe.
9. What is your favourite Christmassy food?
Well... Christmas dinner is by far the greatest meal ever invented. Also...Mince pies!!! Ever since I was little I have always loved them - and never understood how other people can't! 

10. What is your favourite thing about Christmas?
That feeling you get - you know what I mean, the dark nights, the lights, the deorations, the foods, the music, the movies - everything just gives you that excited festive feeling!

I tag you ALL to do this tag! If you love Christmas like I do..... get involved!

I'm a Beauty Blogger, Get Me Out of Here!

I love a good tag post .... and I love I'm a Celeb - so when the lovely Katie from Subtle Coral tagged me to do this post- I'm A Beauty Blogger Get Me Out Of Here - I couldn't wait to get writing!

I've been thinking about doing a new tag post recently and this one seemed perfect - quick, fun and easy , I love both reading and writing posts like this!

No products? Stuck in a jungle? Facing my fears? What would I do?!

1) You can only take ONE product into the jungle (aka your luxury item). What would you choose and why?

One? ... okay, I'm not sure on this jungle thing! I think I'd say my tangle teezer - I can't stand the feeling of my hair being knotty, even if it's on top of my head!

2) What would be your main pre-jungle worry?

Oh without a doubt.... SNAKES. My biggest fear in life - I don't think I would actually sleep if I was there! Also the toilet situation would freak me out a little.....eww.

3) You only have five minutes to get ready before going into the jungle, what would be your quick beauty routine?

Mascara (although this may just be cried off if I'm sky-diving...) , moisturise my whole body (of course something with an SPF), French plait my hair -Katniss style, a nice pink lipgloss, DEODORANT, brush my teeth & add some of my fake bake shimmer brick to my cheeks! (Yes, I CAN do all of that in 5 minutes!)

4) Last year we saw Helen Flanagan wearing her hair in a top bun. What would be your signature hairstyle?

I think it would definitely be either a bun (quick, easy, comfortable) or like I said before the french plait. I'm always wearing my hair like Katniss to work - I can do it s quickly and it just stays out of the way all day and I don't have to re-do it, perfect for jungle life I'd say!

5) For moral support, which female celebrity would you like to be in the jungle with you?

Someone like Jenna Marbles so I could be silly and stay entertained and happy all the time! Oh she's also a massive girl crush so looking at her would probably make me happy that I was only eating rice and beans! #hottie! or obviously Jennifer Lawrence - she just seems awesome. 

6) Everyone’s given a role in the camp. What lifestyle skill would you bring to the jungle?

Lifeskill.... lifeskill.... hmm.....kind of lacking in those! Maybe seeing the funny side in all situations! I'd like to think I could be there to help keep everyone positive and happy! I also like being quite creative so maybe that could help around the campsite! I once used a hanger as a bottle opener dontcha know (genius)! I'd love to say cooking or cleaning but alas.... I'm not the best!

7) What one thing about being a beauty blogger sometimes makes you want to scream ‘Get Me Out Of Here’?

Time! I work full-time... and also like having a social life (duh!)- so having enough time to blog as much as I have planned/want to can be hard! I WISH it could be my job - that would be living the dream! 

8) Challenge – This is a once in a life time opportunity. You’re up for a trial to face your fears or try something new, what would you choose to do and why?

Try something new? I would love to do a sky-dive I think. It looks like nothing else and everyone I've ever spoke to who has done one said they loved it - I've always wanted to be able to fly (but that episode of Hollyoaks that time did kind of put me off.....)! I think for me aswell just being out in the middle of a jungle with no contact with the outside world would be a challenge faced in itself!

I tag Liza, Katie, Jo, Megan, Jessica, Rosie, Ellie to head to the jungle next!
