The Christmas Blogger Tag | Blogmas 2018 | Day 11

What blogmas is complete without a Christmas tag? Not this one! For todays post I will be answering the infamous Blogger Christmas tag and I am so excited! I am a sucker for a tag whether I be reading, writing or watching it, I love a little nosey into someones life. So it feels only fitting to partake myself (even though I wasn't exactly tagged). If you decide to give the tag ago, let me know! I would love to read it!

What is your favourite Christmas film/s?

Ok this is such a difficult question for me because I honestly love them all! In fact, some of my favourite festive films have been those cheesy Hallmark ones on the Christmas movie channel. But, if I had to pick a favourite, it's got to be elf! It is an absolute classic and I never ever tire of it. *Contemplates stopping writing to go and watch elf*

Do you open your presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning?

Christmas morning, although we usually get to open a present on Christmas eve that is usally pyjamas or some cosy clothing to snuggle down in! I have actually never heard of people opening all the presents on Christmas eve... is that a thing?

Do you have a favourite Christmas memory?

I feel really fortunate in that all my Christmas memories are full of love and laughter. But, if i had to pick one, I would have to say the year my sister and I both got our first Nintendo DS. We wanted them so badly and there was pure excitement when we opened them. I believe our conversation went a little something like this... *we opened them at the same time but my sister got into hers a little quicker than me* My sister: Oh my gosh. I am going to scream in 3...2... Me: *screams* My sister: 1! *screams*. We then proceeded to play on them all day! Now I really want to go play animal crossing on my DS and pay my sister 300 bells to de-weed my whole town.

Favourite gift?

There are so many! My family are such great gift givers I guess. I mean, if I had to pick, the DS I just mentioned is definitely up there!

Favourite festive food?

Ok now this is a difficult one. Everything about festive food is to die for. Literally the best time of the year and the reason I end Christmas 30lbs heavier. I think it might be a toss up between pigs in blankets and yule log!

Favourite festive scent?

Being in Uni halls this year, I haven't had a chance to burn my favourite Christmas candles like I normally do, so I am really struggling with this question. Literally anything that makes me think 'Christmas!' I adore. 

Do you have any Christmas Eve traditions?

We always do the one comfy gift thing as I mentioned before, but we also usually do something with my Dad which is always so much fun. It used to be the pantomime, but now we usually go to the cinema. Now that everyone is getting older, I really love having that time to just be with my family and do something together. I literally love spending time with my family and it's always a real laugh. This is kind of the moment that actual Christmas begins for me.  I love it!

What tops your tree?

I think it's usually either a star or an angel, depending what we get to first in the Christmas decor box. 

 As a kid what was the one (crazy, wild, extravagant) gift you always asked for but never received?

I honestly cannot remember and the things I would do to read my old Santa letters with my wish list! It was probably some super overprices Bratz toy or a giraffe or something.

What’s the best part about Christmas for you?

As cliche as it sounds, it's just spending time with my family.  Cooking with my mum, watching my brothers and sisters open their gifts, snuggling down for the festive films and tv,  seeing everyones reactions to the gifts I gave them and of course playing the Christmas games. *I am litterly getting so excited writing this!*

So there we have the Christmas Blogger Tag! I really do love a good blogger tag and if you're reading this, then I tag you! 

I hope you're having a lovely day and I will speak to you tomorrow,

My Christmas Wish List | Blogmas 2018 | Day 10

Can you believe it's Blogmas day 10 already? I know I missed the first couple of days (being the spontaneous decision that Blogmas was) but I still feel pretty proud that I have kept up with it so far. As the girl who struggles massively with consistency, this is a super good challenge for me and I am absolutely loving it! My blog brings me so much happiness and forcing myself to make time to write has been so therapeutic for me. 

Anyway, on to today's post, my Christmas Wishlist 2018! I am super nosey and love reading what everybody wants for Christmas, so I figured, why not give it a whirl myself. I think wish lists are also super helpful for a little gift giving inspo and so if you're struggling with what to give someone, here is a little guide. Without further ado, I present to you my Christmas wish list 2018...

The Happiness Peony Planner

I actually asked (and received) the happiness planner last Christmas and I have loved it! I am a massive organisation/ planner junkie and have tried many different ones over the years. However, I think this may be my favourite one yet, and the fact that I have decided to go a whole other year with it speaks to that. This planner has a bunch of 'start of year' worksheets (which I adore as I love setting resolutions and goals), monthly goals and reviews, as well as a monthly overview. It also has daily quotes, a daily schedule/ to-do, end of day gratitude and a ton more. It combines everything important to me in a planner and is just so cute! The peony planner is a little more expensive than the original planner, so I went for the original planner last year to see if I like it. However, this year I have gone for the peony planner because it is just so gorgeous and classy. Can you tell I love this planner?

Willoughby Book Club Subscription

I actually mentioned this subscription within my Book Lovers Gift Guide post the other day, but it is just so good that it deserves a second mention. Being the bookworm that I am, the idea of getting a brand new book picked out for you each month and delivered to your door is just SO EXCITING. I think any delivered to door subscription is fun (because who doesn't love getting mail?), but I think this one is particularly amazing. You select your age and mention some of your favourite authors so the subscription is personalised just for you. How cool is that?

Fleece Blanket

I am an absolute sucker for blankets. I just love snuggling up with a cosy blanket, a hot cuppa and a book (or Netflix) so when I came across this blanket I completely swooned. Can you see how fluffy that is? *It's so fluffy I'm gonna die!* (Name the quote!). While it's a little expensive, I'm not fussy on brands so any super fluffy blanket will make me happy. 

The Brain: The Story of You

Of course, a handful of books have made their way onto my wish list this year (as they do every year), one of which is 'The Brain: The Story of You' by David Eagleman. I am completely fascinated by the brain and neuroscience at the minute, so I am dying to get my hand on this book. Not only do I think this would be super interesting but I think it would be great for setting some baseline information for my biological psychology module next semester. 

Eve of Man

Giovanna is an absolute gem of a writer and I think both Tom and Gi have this amazingly positive presence online which I am sure will translate into an amazing book. The whole concept of the book is pure genius and I have been dying to get my hands on this since it was announced. 'Against all odds, she survived. The first girl born in fifty years. They called her Eve. The world had waited for her arrival with bated breath. She is the last girl on earth, and all her life Eve has been kept away from the opposite sex. Kept from the truth of her past. But at sixteen it's time for Eve to face her destiny. Three potential males have been selected for her. The future of the world is in her hands. She's always accepted her fat. Until she meets Bram. Eve wants control over her life. She wants freedom. How do you choose between love and the future of the human race?'. If I don't get this for Christmas, I am running straight out to Waterstones to buy it. 

When We Collided

While there are a good few more books on my wishlist, the final one in this list is 'When We Collided' by Emery Lord. Now I love Emery Lord and she writes those amazing 'I can't put this down so I will abandon all responsibilities and sit here until I finish the book' books. Having read both 'The Names They Gave Us' and 'The Start of Me and You' and been completely obsessed with them, it's pretty much guaranteed that I will be equally as obsessed with this book too. Plus my friend told me it was fab, and I don't think she is in the habit of lying about book quality. 

Master Class

This item is a little less typical than the others but still super cool. You may have come across 'Master Class' before, but if you haven't, it is essentially a big collection of online courses in specific skills, taught by the best in the business. From cooking to sports to photography, there is a class for everyone. I love learning and am basically a giant nerd so this is a perfect gift for me. They do an offer which is £170 for a year of all-access which sounds so amazing! Not only super fun and interesting but also an amazing opportunity to upgrade that CV! 

Adidas Campus Shoes

What gift list is complete without a couple pair of shoes? Earlier this semester I fractured my foot (read about that fun time here) which meant I could wear nothing but trainers for weeks on end. Everywhere I went, trainers. Now the only real trainers I have are my workout Nike trainers and so I literally wore the same shoes every day for almost 2 months. After all that, I have come to the conclusion that a girl needs some casual trainers and these are just so cute! I am a little indecisive about the colour but I think this is a fun colour to spice things up a bit. P.s. I haven't actually told anyone about this item on my wish list so the chances of getting them are slim to none. But still... 

Timberland Boots

The final item in my wishlist is another pair of shoes, these gorgeous Timberland ankle boots. I already own a pair of full-on Timberland boots but I feel like these are much more versatile and give a completely different vibe to outfits. Again, super indecisive about colours but I feel like black shoes are always a success right? (Also haven't technically told anyone I want these haha)

Wow, I have literally been writing for almost 2 hours now (and I could write for 2 more!) so I will bring this post to an end. I hope you found it interesting to get a little nosey into my wish list. What is your favourite item?

Hope you are having a lovely day and I will speak to you tomorrow,

Netflix Festive Watch List UK | Blogmas 2018 | Day 9

As a fellow film and TV lover, I love Netflix. I am a die-hard binge watcher along with a professional re-watcher (currently on my fifth rewatch of Gilmore Girls), so Netflix and I go way back. With that being said, you can see why I love reading posts like this. I think scrolling through Netflix can sometimes be a little overwhelming and I just can't decide what to watch, so posts like this are a life saver. 

I have always wanted to make one myself and being the Christmas fairy I am, what a better time to make one than for Blogmas! So, without further ado, here is my UK Netflix festive watch list!

Christmas Wedding Planner

Romantic Comedy

Rating: ALL

'A wedding planners world is turned upside down when a handsome private investigator is hired to disrupt one of her biggest jobs.'

This is one of those on my 'to-watch' list this year and with a 98% match on my Netflix account, I have a feeling it will be a good one. I am an absolute sucker for any slightly cheesy rom-com so I am super excited to give this one a watch.

The Christmas Chronicles 

Family Comedy

Rating: PG

'Ater accidentally crashing Santas sleigh, a brother and sister pull an all-nighter to save Christmas was a savvy, straight-talking St.Nick.'

This is a Netflix own movie and I absolutely loved it! It's your classic 'saving Christmas film' and perfect for snuggling up with a hot chocolate on a Sunday afternoon. A little strange side note- the elves in this are unlike any elves I have ever seen before... but I think they're cute.

The Holiday 

Romantic Comedy

Rating: 12

'Stuck in a vicious cycle of dead-end relationships with two-timing men, Los Angeles resident Amanda and Londoner Iris decide to swap homes.'

An absolute classic during the festive period, I must have seen this film at least 6 times. It just never gets old! With some absolute gems such as Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet, this is an absolutely fab film. If you have never seen this, I strongly suggest you give it a whirl!

Arthur Christmas

Family Comedy

Rating: U

'At Santa Clauses super-secret toy-making facility, Mr Claus entrusts his son, Arthur, to carry out an ultra-important Christmas mission'.

This is one of those 'sit down with the family' films. It's got a little something for everyone and once again, is perfect for a festive Sunday snuggle with a hot chocolate *goes and makes myself a Bournville hot chocolate -drool-*.

Holiday Joy

Romantic Comedy

Rating: PG

'After falling and bumping her head, an exhausted teen gets to experience life as part of a different family: the seemingly perfect Wellmans.'

Now this one is your classic 'Hallmark' festive film, the kind you find on the Christmas movie channel, and I love it. I am an absolute sucker for anything like this and a little coming of age festive feel-good film is everything I need on a cold winters day. 

Love Actually

 Romantic Comedy

Rating: 15

'This ensemble comedy is a charming treatise on romance, telling 10 intertwining London love stories, leading up to a climax on Christmas Eve.'

Almost everybody has seen this film before, and if you haven't seen it then you have most likely heard of it. I would argue that it is an absolute classic in the festive world. Is it really even Christmas if you're not watching 'Love Actually'? (Yes. It is. But it is still a fab film.)

So, unfortunately, that brings my festive watch list to an end. I only selected my top 6 films as I thought that was actually an achievable goal for most. That being said, the more the merrier right? Literally. 

What is your favourite festive film?

I hope you have a lovely day and I will speak tomorrow,

Book Lovers Gift Guide | Blogmas 2018 | Day 8

I believe I was born a book lover. Now I'm not saying I came out the womb with a book in my hand, but I literally cannot remember a time where I wasn't book obsessed. Its almost become a way of life at this point. With that being said, I decided to put together a little 'Book Lovers Gift Guide' for todays blog post. Of course, any book lover will happily give you a long list of books to get them, but sometimes it is nice to mix things up a bit. So here are a hanful on gift ideas that are bound to make any bookworm swoon!

Under £10 

A blind date with a book 

I came across this product on instragram and I have been dying to get my hands on one. I think it can be quite easy to stick to what you know with books and something like this is the perfect way to push you out your comfort zone and introduce you to a book you may not have thought to consider otherwise. Price: £7.99

'Just one more chapter' Book Pin

This would make a perfect stocking filler. I think pins are classic and this one is perfect! You could put in on a jacket, hat, bag or whatever else you fancy really. It's a really cute accessory and getting something that references their love of books makes this a really thoughtful gift. Price: £7

Under £20

100 Books Scratch Bucket List

This is another super fun idea for pushing you outside your bookish comfort zone. Not only could this help you conquer some of the classics, but it just sounds so fun! Can you imagine the pride once you've successfully scratched off every box. The temptation to buy myself this is real. Price: £12.99

'Bookish Vibes' Top

I can sometimes find slogan tops a little cheesy, but I really love this one. Its elegant and cute all at once and you could definitely style it in a ton of different ways. I think this would be the perfect gift for anyone who loves both fashion and books, and with a more personal touch to it, you can't go wrong! Price: £17.03

Personal Library Kit

I think that most book lovers (myself included) are also book hoarders. I physically cannot bring myself to ever throw out a book that is readable, and I dream of the day my book collection is big enough to have my own mini library (this is literally a life goal of mine). With that in mind, you can see why this gift is just so perfect! I think it would be so cool to be able to look back at when you last read the book, and if you pass the book down or lend it out, you can look back and see how many people have enjoyed the book. Can you tell I think this is really cool? Price: £11.95

Over £20

'Willoughby Book Club' subscription

This is actually something on my Christmas list this year because it sounds like the coolest thing ever. I think mail subscriptions of any kind are so fun and getting the surprise of what you get each month is so exciting. So, a book subscription is the definition of perfect. You can choose youre genre, give a little information on your favourite authors and they do the rest! SO.COOL. Price: £54.99 for 6 months.

There we have my 2018 book lovers gift guide. Personally, as a fellow book lover myself, I would be super happy with any of these gifts and so I can say with some level of confidence that your fellow book lover would feel the same.

Are you a book lover? Which gift is your favourite? 

I hope you have a lovely day and I will speak to you tomorrow,

My Christmas Playlist 2018 | Blogmas 2018 | Day 7

*IIIIITS CHRIIIISTMAAAAASSSSSSS*

In case you haven't caught the jist of it by now, I bloody love Christmas. I'm talking Christmas music in summer kind of love. Yeah, I am that person. 

With that being said, for todays Blogmas, I've decided to share my ultimate Christmas playlist. I made this playlist a little while back and I just add to it as and when I please. So, I feel that by this point we have a pretty good selection. We have some absolute classics with Mariah Carey and Wham!, as well as throwing in some more modern jingles with Sia and Ariana Grande. And what would Christmas be without a bit of beautiful Buble (I can't figure out how to get the accent on the 'e' so just pretend I spelt that right)? 

While I absolutely adore basically every Christmas song, I feel like my favourite changes all the time. While basically any Buble song is always in my top 10, my current fave is actually a slightly less traditional song (or at least from my experience) by Train called 'Shake Up Christmas'. I beleive I first came across it in a Coca Cola adveert one year and everytime I hear it, it just makes me so happy. I love it! I'm also loving Sia's 'Santa's Coming For Us' this year, which just makes me want to dance around my room. With regards to classics, my favourite this year is 'Merry Christmas Everyone' by Shakin' Stevens- What a song?! 

In conclusion, I love them all and Chirstmas is the best!!!

What songs are you loving this year? 

Here is my playlist on Spotify which you can follow and listen to if you fancy!

So on that note I will love you and leave you.

I hope you are having a lovely day and I will speak to you tomorrow,

Christmas Formal - Uni Life | Blogmas 2018 | Day 6

T- 19 sleeps until Christmas my friends!

Being the true Christmas fairy I am, I have been trying to get involved in as many Christmas events as possible this year and really soak up all the festivities. Every year I read about all the amazing festivities that take place and just wish that I could go to them all! This year, my uni Christmas Formal was on the list.

In all honesty, I wasn't sure what to expect when I heard of the formal, and so I went into the whole thing a little blind. Yet I can happily say that I was pleasantly surprised! We all got to dress up nice (including a very bad decision of heels with a fractured foot), do our hair and makeup all pretty and go and eat a gorgeous meal surrounded by live music. I loved it!

The meal was, of course, Christmas inspired and included breaded camembert (*drools thinking about how good it was*), a Christmas dinner and a chocolate truffle tart. It was the definition of a perfect meal. We also had Christmas crackers (complete with hats and bad jokes), wine (which I sadly ignored due to the joys of being ill) and a lovely singer performing through the evening. 

All in all, with lovely company, it was a lovely night and I can successfully check it off my festive events list. What shall I do next?

So that is all for today. I was planning on a little longer post with photos but in all honesty, I completely forgot to take any photographs at all (I do this all the time and always kick myself for it!). I hope you've enjoyed the post anyway and got a teeny little insight into my Uni life.

On that note, I hope you have a lovely day and I will speak to you tomorrow,

Top 5 Advent Calendars 2018 | Blogmas 2018 | Day 5

I always think that the Christmas period in itself is often actually often better than Christmas day. While I love Christmas day, its the whole festive period that makes my little Christmassy heart flutter. The music, the lights, carol services, secret Santas and of course the Christmas countdown. Being the chocoholic that I am, I always go for a chocolate advent calendar. Not only are they delicious but they don't break the bank. However, with that being said, I still love to fantasize about all the amazing non-chocolate advent calenders. Yes, they are usually quite expensive, but I think they are just so cool! So here are my top 5 advent calendars that I would totally buy if money were no object, along with my chocolate one of course!

1. 12 Days of Gin

This last summer, I really discovered my love for Gin. I can't even tell you what it is, but I just love it. While I think gin is a perfect summery drink, I think you can easily mix it up to make it more festive, and what better excuse than an advent calendar! With 12 different gins, I could live out my gin tasting fantasies. Or, you could save them up for Christmas day and get a little merry with your friends... in the spirit of Christmas of course!

2. English Tea Shop

Another drink related advent that I love the idea of, is a tea advent! (Could I get any more British?) I love tea so much and think this would be a super fun and slightly healthier alternative to a chocolate calendar. I think this one is really reasonably priced and a lot of the teas are special festive flavours. I just love the idea of opening my advent, brewing a hot cuppa and snuggling down with a fluffy blanket to watch elf... what a dream!

3. Playmobil Royal Iceskating Trip

I was obsessed with Playmobil as a child. My sisters and I would always get a new pack on holiday and it was quite possibly the most exciting thing ever for my little 7-year-old self. Well, turns out I never grew up (totally overrated anyway) because I would die for this advent calendar. I think these Playmobil advents are just so fun and I love the idea of setting up a little festive scene bit by bit until Christmas. I also really love ice skating and so this one is extra adorable to me.

4. Build your own retro camera

As a photographer who loves cutesy decor, this is so perfect. I don't think you actually build a working camera but you end up with this amazing retro camera that would look amazing on the shelf next to a gorgeous plant. I also think this is a super fun and practical take on an advent calendar. While it is a little more time consuming than popping out a quick chocolate before you head out the door, I think this would force you to just stop and spend a couple minuted focusing on building the next piece, which I think would do wonders in helping you relax in what some people find a very stressful time of year. 

5. 7 days of sockmas 
I have heard so many people saying that socks are a bad gift, but I have to disagree. I love new socks and you know what is better than new socks? New Christmas socks! While this is only a 7-day advent, I think this would be fab for the final week before Christmas. Just picture waking up, opening your advent and putting on your new pair of super cute Christmas socks. Immediately you're in a good mood! I feel like this is maybe a more unusual advent, but considering its only 7 days, you could just add it as a little bonus to make the final week of countdown extra exciting!

So there we have my top 5 advents. Don't they all just sound amazing? In a dream world, I would have them all. I'd wake up, put on my new socks, grab a cuppa with a chocolate, add a Playmobil piece to the scene, hop off for the day feeling super happy just knowing that when I get back I can spend a minute building my camera then grabbing a cheeky gin with my dinner. Pretty perfect right? 

What do you think? What kind of advent do you prefer? 

Hope you have a lovely day and I speak to you tomorrow,

Sick tips for Uni. | Blogmas 2018 | Day 4

Everybody has at least one area of their life that has been or are lacking. I had a great childhood. My parents support and love me endlessly. My siblings are my ride or dies and I have a good few solid friends who know me better than I know myself. Now that's not to say everything is perfect, but I have been pretty lucky with regards to all that. My downfall is my health, particularly in the last 3 or 4 years. Things are definitely better than before but my health still brings a lot of struggle into my life. (I'm actually working on a health update at the moment so keep your eyes peeled for that post if you're interested in my health journey!) With that said, todays post is dedicated to my top tips and tricks on how to deal with being sick while at Uni (or school or work or basically just life haha).

*Future Holly interjection*
I wrote this yesterday and I think I may be psychic because I woke up SO SICK! So as I sit here in bed with my pouding head as I try not to puke, I guess its time to follow my own advice! Anyway, back to past Holly...

Uni is essentially a germ pool where you spend 20% of your time getting sick, 60% of your time being unwell and the other 20% feeling like you're just about to come out the other end of it before we go right back to square one. Unless I have suddenly lost my ability to do maths, thats 100% of your time feeling under the weather. Now my extremely scientific and accurate results here are purely based of my experience of 1st semester and with my poor excuse of an immune system, it may no be applicable to everyone. That being said, the general concensous seems to be that you get sick alot at uni and unfortunately you don't get a say in the matter. So, as a very professional and experienced sick person, here are my sick tips for Uni... see what I did there... sick tips. Such comedy gold.

Tip 1. Remember that your health ALWAYS COMES FIRST.
Now this comes in at number one becuause it really is the most important one. If there is one thing that I have learnt over the last few years, it is the sheer importance of your health and what happens when you don't make that a priority. Let me tell you, it is not a pretty picture. Health is the centre of everything and poor health can affect every aspect of your life. When my health was at its worse I couldn't attend school, couldn't hold a job, I had to drop all my hobbies besides reading (which even then I couldn't do as much), I felt like I lost my friends, my anxiety got worse, my whole life just came to a crashing halt. Now this is a real extreme example but if you refuse to prioritise your health, there is a real possibility you could be heading to much more serious health issues. If you are sick, your priority is to be healthy again. Above everything, is your health. If you need an extension, ask for it. If your health is coming in between studies, talk to your tutor. Your health is first and any decent Uni should understand that too.

Tip 2. Do the boring healthy things
Yes, I know they are boring. They are dull and time consuming and generally not that enjoyable but there is a reason these things get repeated so often. Up the fruit and vegetable intake. Reduce the sugar intake (and I personally find reducing dairy and gluten help speed up the healing process). Drink tons of water. Take your vitamins/supplements (I personally live by Doterras -contact my mamma for more info- and blame my inconsistancy with them for the decline in my health after months of being my healthiest in years). Get some fresh air. Excersice regularly to help avoid getting sick in the first place. You know these things but somehow we forgot to do them still. Probably because its not fun, but hey you know what else isn't fun? Getting sick. Go eat an apple. (Please, you can get one in the reduced section!)

Tip 3. Manage stress!
Again, this is likely something you have heard before. Stress is bad. But, this is actually something that while I knew, I have really come to understand a little more recently, and actually I am so interested in the physcial responses to stress and just how much it can impact us. There is this fabulous video by SciShow Psych ft. Hank Green which I think summarises it all quite nicely and gives you a great insight into the power of stress - deffo reccomend giving this a cheeky watch if you've got a spare 5 mins. While we all know stress doesn't feel good, there is a good chance that its contributing to why you got sick or even why you're struggling to recover properly. This is something I am working on right now as I am a very highly strung person who is basically anxious like 78% of the time. But, what I have found useful so far is journaling, music, gentle exercise and meditiation. I do these things somewhat sporadically and think I might try a little week long experiment to see how these techniques work in practice, any body interested in that? The point is, these are all things you can incorperate into your life, even as a busy Uni student.

Tip 4. Be a lazy potato
If you are sick, you need to rest. Its annoying and inconvenient but that's just the way it is. 1 day of responsible rest will always beat a week of recovery after refusing to achknowledge your need to rest. Try and attend lectures if you can but there will be other socials. The FOMO at uni is so real but in some ways, that works to your advantage here. There is always so much going on, that is is garunteed you can find something to do once youre well enough. Lie down, sleep and rest.

Apologies if you were hoping for something revolutionary here, but the truth is that with health, there are no short cuts. It takes effort and perserverance and self dicipline but it is so worth it becasue when your'e healthy you can really live your best life.

Do you have any secret health tips? (Please tell me because I need them all)

Hope you have a lovely day and I will speak to you tomorrow,

P.S- Get well soon!

Happy Belated Blogmas! | Blogmas 2018 | Days 1 ,2 and 3

It's officially December my friends and you know what that means...

That's right, it's offically the most wonderful time of the year. 
I LOVE christmas. I always say that with a name like Holly I didn't have much of a choice and I am a self proclaimed Christmas fairy. I am the kind of person who listens to Christmas music on a flight to Spain in Septemeber (true fact) so I guess you could say i'm a die hard Christmas fan. With that in mind I am beyond shocked that in all the years I have had this blog, I have never partook in Blogmas!? Madness. 

Now I know I am already a few days behind but in all honestly, I literally just thought of the idea and I couldn't wait a whole more year! So, I thought, why the heck not!

I have always loved reading and watching blog/vlogmas and so to actually partake this year is so exciting! I know sometimes it can be a struggle with quality vs quantity but as you may know, I am so so terribly inconsistent with posting and I think this would be a great challenge for me. 

I still have Uni for 2 more weeks and so I will still be quite busy. Therefore, I can't garuntee all posts will be super detailed and long (although we all know how much I love to waffle on) but I will be posting something every day up until Christmas.

Want to follow along? Subscribe to the blog (in the right hand column) and get a little email every time I post!

Hope you all have a lovely day and a Holly jolly Christmas,
