The Most Wonderful time of the year

Here comes the time of the year again when the clocks have gone back and everything starts to feel 'Christmassy'. Winter is an excuse to drink too many costa hot chocolates, don a cosy fur hooded coat and when constantly smelling cinnamon is acceptable.

Winter has to be my favorite time of the year. Forget tiny bikinis and bathing under the sun, get me a blanket, some woolly socks and Netflix and I'm happy.

I've found some products which I have been really enjoying and have really suited these colder months

Berry Cosmo, Nightshade, Raspberry
These nail polishes are perfect for these colder months. the dark,rich, berry tones add a really nice wintery element without being too bold. I have also added a sparkly nail polish that you can wear on its own or as a top coat which is perfect extra special touch



Hot Toddy shower gel
I've heard great things about Lush Hot Toddy shower gel from many beauty vloggers so I thought I would give it a try. I love the smell of cinnamon and spice and this product is like Christmas in a bottle. Though I would say if your not into really strong scents then I wouldn't go for this as it does linger for a bit. I am more of a bath person so it was nice to try something different, however Ive used it
in the bath several times and its just as nice.

Dorothy Perkins ankle boots
These Dorothy Perkins boots are such good quality and really comfortable to wear. I decided to go for brown as I do wear a lot of black though I have found it quite hard to style them so if anyone has some tips let me know


I decided to buy a Yankee Candle as I really wanted a nice Christmas scent this year to fill my room.
Yankee Candle Peppermint Swirls
There was a wide variety of choice in terms of Christmas fragrances
and most of the ones I smelt ,apart from one, were really strong. I
decided to go for Peppermint Swirls as I love the smell of peppermint and although it is strong, when it burns it's really refreshing

I know this isn't a product as such but Netflix has been my savior! Watching the Gavin & Stacy Christmas special always gives me this warm winter feeling. I've also finished reading Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. I found it really enjoyable to read though I didn't think it was much of a thriller as that was what it was described as but I couldn't put it down! I would recommend it though if you like in depth books with interesting plot lines

What have you been enjoying in the lead up to Christmas?
