Christmas Spending

For Christmas I was given a couple of vouchers and some money. I had a brilliant Christmas and got some really thoughtful and nice presents. This post is to share what I brought, why, where from and if I would buy the product again or reccomend it to you guys. 

The first thing I ordered from Amazon was the W7 eyeshadow palette. I have done a blog post on this already, so take a look at that if you'd like.

I brought this small notebook from a shop on Amazon. It has a cute slogan on and is really adorable, as well as being the perfect size to slip in your handbag to carry on the go. I do carry this round with me, as I use it to plan blog posts. It was only £4.

I took a trip to town and fell in love with this long sketchbook from Tiger. It cost only £3 and has really thick sketching paper inside. I brought this planning to use it for drawing, but ended up using it as a scrapbook. I printed out a ton of my favourite photos in the shape of Polaroids and used double sided tape to stick the photos into the book. I plan to make it my 2015 scrapbook.

Of Ebay I brought the Mamma Mia movie soundtrack for £2.50. It came really quick as things of Ebay or Amazon usually do. I brought this as Mamma Mia is my favourite movie. I've seen it many times and know all the songs, even the one that plays during the credits! Because I love the songs so much, the CD was the obvious way to get the official audio tracks. 

My favourite thing that I brought was this Taylor Swift 1989 CD. The songs had yet to be released on YouTube so this was the only way to get the official songs. This cost £7 and I got the free MP3 version with it which was a bonus! I love this CD. I've never been a huge fan of Taylor Swift but there's something about her new album that I love. The songs are relatable and not just about her love life. Plus I love the Polaroid look of the front cover as lyric book! My favourite songs from this album are Bad Blood and I Know Places.

Christmas Haul

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year!
So today's post is going to be what I got for Christmas. This is in no way to show off, Its just a post I knew I wanted to do, to celebrate Christmas and thank people.
Christmas is my favourite time of the year and I enjoy it more than birthdays, because everyone is in a great mood and the atmosphere is amazing.
My favourite presents were my Pretty Little Liars DVDs. I love the series and can't access them usually, as I don't have Netflix. So the DVD's were the perfect way to access it. These were around £10 each, and there are four series available on DVD. This was my main present from my parents and I love them. I've already watched the whole of season 1 and made a good start on two!
Another favourite present of mine was a medium sized minion teddy. My parents brought me this from Spain, where i saw it in a shop. It was €20 and i love it.
Christmas is a special time to spend with family and friends. I spent Christmas day in Ireland with my dads family. It was really nice to see them again. I hope you all had a good Christmas :)
