Christmas 2014

Hey guys, I hope ye all had a good Christmas! I did, and I thought that I would share some pictures with you from the day. I got a couple of cool presents and made an apple tart for my Nana for the dessert. My dog, Derek, got lots of treats and presents, and I took a lovely picture of him before dinner where he looks really cute! Here are the pictures:

Mother's Day Gift Ideas

Hey guys! So, because Mother's Day is coming up I thought that I would show you some of my gift ideas for it just in case you haven't got anything yet.

1. Pink Floral Quilted Makeup Bag - River Island (€17)
The first thing I thought that could be a nice Mother's Day present was this pink quilted makeup bag. It's just a really pretty makeup bag. It's a little expensive for a makeup bag but you can always get one that's just as nice in Pennys/Primark if you don't have much money to spend.
2. Personalised Card - funkypigeon.com (from €2.99)
I think personalised cards a such a great idea. There are loads of really cute/funny designs that you can choose from and personalise. I think funky pigeon only ships to the UK and Ireland but if you want personalised cards and you are from the US or Australia, then go to moonpig.com.
3. Vanilla Cupcake Scented Candle - Yankee Candle (around €20)
If your mom likes candles, then this present is the way to go. I chose Vanilla Cupcake because Vanilla is my favourite scent so I think this candle would smell really yummy!
4. Dolce by Dolce and Gabbana - Boots (€61)
If you have a big budget for Mother's Day or you just really want to spoil your mom, then why not buy her the new Dolce and Gabbana perfume called Dolce. It's pretty expensive but I bet that getting it for your mom will keep you in her good books for the next few months, if not for the whole year! If you don't have that much to spend then there are plenty of much cheaper perfumes out there that smell amazing.
5. Soap and Glory Bad Day Box- Boots (€20)
The last thing I chose was this Soap and Glory gift set. It's only €20 and it contains three great Soap and Glory products which are Foam Call shower gel, Pulp Friction body scrub and Butter Yourself body lotion. It's the perfect gift for any stressed-out mom.

So those were my Mother's Day gift ideas. I hope they helped you somewhat in making your choice for Mother's Day. If you liked this post, please give it a like on Bloglovin or a +1 on Google Plus and make sure to leave a comment down below telling me what you are getting your mom for Mother's Day.

The Christmas Tag

Hey guys, today I decided to do the Christmas Tag because I haven't really done anything Christmas-y yet on my blog and thought that this would be a great way to start off. So here is the Christmas Tag:

1. Whats Your Favorite Holiday Movie?
Home Alone, I watch it every year and know all the lines.
2. What Are Your Favorite Christmas Colors?
Red and Gold, we always have our tree done in these colours and I think they are so nice together and really festive.
3. Do You Like To Stay in Your PJs Or Dress Up For Christmas?
I like to stay in my PJs for most of the morning while opening presents and then change into a cute Christmas jumper or something for dinner.
4. If You Could Only Buy One Person a Present This Year Who Would It Be?
I am kind of only physically buying one person a Christmas present this year because I am in France and won't be able to bring everyone's presents home and don't have time to shop for any when I do get home a couple of days before Christmas so my sister is buying them all and I am going halves with her. That means once I get home that I only need to buy my sister a present which is nice.
5. Do You Open Your Presents Christmas Eve Or Christmas Morning?

Christmas morning. My mom never let us open any Christmas presents on Christmas Eve no matter how much we begged.
6. Have You Ever Built a Ginger Bread House?
No, but I love ginger bread so much so that sounds really fun.. and tasty.
7. What Do You Like To Do On Your Christmas Break? 
I love to curl up on the couch with lots of food and watch Christmas movies with my sisters.
8. Any Christmas Wishes?
I just want to be home and get to spend Christmas with my family.
9. Favorite Christmas Smell?

The smell of the fire burning when you come in from the freezing cold outside.
10. Favorite Christmas Meal Or Treat?

Hot chocolate or trifle. My mom always makes me my own special trifle with no fruit in it just for me every Christmas.

I hope you liked this Tag. Feel free to do it and leave a link below to yours so that I can read it because I'd love to hear what everyone's favourite things about Christmas are.
