All things Christmas: Sia, Decorations, Flowers and Hot Chocolate.

Hello my lovely people reading today, I thought I'd do a quick blog on a few of my favourite Christmas bits and bobs this year. I recently bought the Sia, Everyday is Christmas album which is her new Christmas album released on 17 November 2017, but of course you already knew that! I listened to it on apple music and then just had to buy it for the car. 

There is such a range of upbeat and slow songs that all make you feel a different emotion. AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING! If I HAD to pick favourites on the album I'd pick; Candy Cane Lane, Ho Ho Ho and Everyday is Christmas but they are honestly all fabulous!

Onto decorations... me and Nathan (my fiance) still live at my family home so most of the decorations we bought were for our bedroom.
This cute tea light holder from The Range has white glitter and a little handle on it and obviously I love it because it's one of my favourite colours! I put an LED tea light in mine as it brightens up the room better. The mini Christmas tree next to it i got from Tesco (I think) for £2.50 but they have them in most of the supermarkets flower section!
I got this amazing gingerbread smelling candle from Home Bargains and paired it on the shelf with this cutie gingerbread house tree decoration from Asda.


Nathan spotted this 'don't get your tinsel in a tangle' light up frame in The Range and we had to have it. I hung the glittery ivy also from The Range around the shelf above 
I'm in love with these jelly type filled candles this year they are so clever and effective. I got this one from Asda, the Led wooden fake candle is from The Range and I'm going to keep them up (I got two) after Christmas because I love the look of them. The poinsettia plant in the background was a Christmas must and a £2 bargain in Tesco. 
The marble vase is from B&M I think we payed £2.99. Nathan gets me flowers every payday but I wanted some that would fit with the Christmas theme and not take too much room on the dressing table so picked these glittery twigs and gypsophila from Marks and Spencer.
This wooden light up Christmas tree from Asda £12 is good for simple decor rooms. They also do a Star which would look fab anytime of the year! (click the image to go to www.direct.asda.com)
Again a simple bunch of flowers with a Christmas theme. These flowers are from my earlier blog post - York Christmas Markets (https://ourforeverutopia.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Travel) 

Personalised or quote tree decoration give that added magical touch. This one on our tree a reminder about how important family time is.  
Lastly, the grand finale is my hot chocolate... Cadburys fudge sachet, cream, candy cane, gingerbread men, chocolate santa, iced decorations and sprinkles. What more could you want it a Christmas hot chocolate?

Hope you enjoyed this blog post, let me know by commenting of following me! 

All my Chrismassy love,

Let’s talk slogans...

I absolutely love clothing with slogans on. I think they are so cool and unique. Thought I would share a few of my recent slogan buys as well as a few old ones. I've linked the things I could find (just clock the picture).  I love finding clothes with words and I keep adding to my collection.  So recently, I got this jacket from misguided which I am in love with. I’m actually saving it to wear as my birthday outfit with a plain black jumpsuit because I just love it so much an think it's worthy of a good night in London haha. Lover has been my word for so long and I used to use it all the time. They do the same jacket in a couple of styles and colours .   This one is from the men’s section in H&M but I loved it too much not to buy. Always saying I’m cold hearted, I’m not really I just can be haha! This one reminds me of all the Kanye West stuff that I love! I actually follow an account on Instagram @wornbyellis which has some cool sloga...

Makeup Revolution - Brow Tint - does it work?

Hey loves! I recently bought this revolution brow tint and obviously had to review it. If you seen my blog post on HD brows and the maybelline tattoo brow   you'll know I'm a fan of the tattoo brow idea! I reallllly don't like my natural eyebrows, they never sit right, there too light for my hair and are a rubbish shape, anyone else? Anyway so my sister tried this out first and said she really liked it so I went to superdrug and picked it up myself. I was initially really impressed as it only cost £5 where as the maybelline one cost £12 so a massive difference and I just love saving money. The packaging itself is simple, nothing to fancy just black with crome writing on and you can see the bottle through the little opening. The back of the box shows you step 1, 2 and 3 of how to apply it, how long to leave it on etc.  I got it in the darkest shade they do, dark brown as my hair is blue/black.  This is what the applicator looks like, it quite a thick...

Wedding Inspiration

We got engaged in February 2017, a year ago so obviously my pinterest board is crazy full. I just wanted to blog a few of my favourite inspiration pictures. My board is actually on private mainly because I would want some aspects to be a surprise to friends and family but couldn't resist blogging them. Myself and Nathan have this idea of having the venue and vibe of the day to be barn/outdoor/nature. Here are a few little bits and bobs that Im in love with, whether we decide to have them or not. Firstly, we would absolutely love to be driven in the cutest camper van dreamy little thing! Dislike the tradition of the bride and groom having to get separate cars cos it would just be the cutest to turn up together in this, however I would like my look to be a surprise. Succulent or plant wedding favours, such a good idea that is a must! I love the wooden and greenery vibe, this is a must but it definitely needs more white just to brighten it up, especially f...
