What I Got For Christmas 2015

Hi :)
I hope you all had a really wonderful break and time spent with your families these holidays. I was very fortunate to be given some really great presents which I though I would share with you today!

Probably one of my favourite presents that I received was these gorgeous Victoria's Secret 'Body by Victoria Supersoft Short PJ Set' in Ruby Wine. These are so comfy and even though I'm fairly tall (5'10"/178cm) the shorts are short but still long enough to cover everywhere they're supposed to.

I was so happy when I opened this present it was a copy of Amy Winehouse's Frank on vinyl. If you know me you know that Amy is one of my all time favourite singers (RIP) and Frank was my favourite era of hers. This record has been on replay since I received it!

I was given this Zara perfume duo from my parents and the fragrances are really beautiful. One is 'oriental' and the other is 'floral'.

I received this Lush Christmas bath box from my aunt, uncle and cousins and it smells incredible. I love everything from Lush and I always feel so much better after having a Lush bath. I've already used the blue one which I believe is called Lord of Misrule, it turned my bath all kinds of pretty colours (blues, purples, pinks etc.) and smelt amazing.

I was given this reusable piping kit from my grandparents and I definitely wasn't expecting it however it was so sweet. I love baking and cooking and my grandma is definitely a big part of that as a lot of the recipes I grew up cooking were hers. I also had a major assignment this year which involved making my own cookbook my grandparents were really supportive of the whole thing and came to see my project when it was all done on the day. This present was really thoughtful and I will definitely be using this heaps (also it came in an adorable elephant box which isn't shown).

This beautiful little Christmas tealight holder was given to me from my little brother and it is from Dusk. I really loved this gift more for the meaning behind it, my brother is only 11 so the fact that he actually went out of his way to go and pick something out for me himself with his money that he spent meant a lot.

From my parents and grandparents I received $80 worth of Zara gift cards, I also got a $50 Westfield voucher from my aunt, uncle and cousins which means I get to go on a bit of a mini shopping spree soon :P

I was given some beautiful stationary from my great aunt and uncle and also from my aunt, uncle and cousins which will definitely come in handy as I'm the type of person who is always writing things down or making lists.

I was given this sweet little butterfly bracelet from Tuscany Silver from our friends in Norway, the chain itself is rosegold and the butterfly charm is studded with diamantes.

I was given these pyjamas as well from my aunt, uncle and cousins and our friends in England. The polka dot ones are from a brand called Love to Lounge and the pink and navy ones are from Primark.

I also received a few other bits and pieces which aren't pictured such as black Forever 21 skinny jeans for work, a grey knit, high necked top from Cotton on, a few books etc.
I'm so grateful to all of my amazing family and friends who gave me these beautiful gifts.
In case I don't post beforehand hope you all have a fantastic and safe ending to 2015 and a great start to 2016!
Thanks for reading xx

Christmas TAG

Hi :)
I was tagged by my bestest Chummy Tara AKA her blog RahRaah  to do the Christmas TAG. As it's now just 6 days away I thought there was no better time than the present!

No, but I'm hoping to one day when I'm older.
 
3. Where do you usually spend your holiday?
My grandparent's house, spending time with my Mum's side of the family
 
4. What is your favorite Christmas song?
An all time favourite is Baby it's Cold Outside but this year I've been loving the Santa Baby cover by Simone Battle.
 
 
5. Do you open any presents on Christmas Eve?
Yes, because we spend Christmas Eve with my Dad's side of the family and go to their church where my uncle is the minister and then we open presents afterwards!
 
6. Can you name all of Santa’s reindeer?
Rudolph, Dancer, Prancer, Donner, Blitzen... Nope!
 
7. What holiday traditions are you looking forward to most this year?
A new tradition but spending Christmas Eve Eve with Tara and also I always look forward to watching all my favourite YouTubers doing Vlogmas.
 
8. Is your Christmas tree real or fake?
Fake unfortunately but I'm hoping when I'm a bit older and move out of home I can get a real one.
 
9. What is your all-time favorite holiday food/sweet treat?
I've always loved candy-canes but this year I've been loving the Starbucks Gingerbread Frappicino (with soy milk and no whipped cream) 
 
10. Be honest: do you like giving gifts or receiving gifts better?
I like giving gifts because I'm such an awkward person and find it incredibly embarassing when I have everyone's attention on me.
 
11. What is the best Christmas gift you’ve ever received?
I'm so grateful for every gift that I receice but one of the best would  have to be a few years ago when my parents surprised me with Taylor Swift concert tickets!
  
12. What would be your dream place to visit for the holiday season?
 England because it is one of my most favourite places in the whole world and it's where I want to move when I'm finished school although I do also think that New York would be amazing.
 
13. Are you a pro-present wrapper, or do you fail miserably?
I'm definately not a pro but I also don't fail so I guess in the middle!
 
14. Most memorable Holiday moment?
Probably when I was younger my family was in the car on the way to my grandparent's house on Christmas morning and my younger brother all of a sudden yelled out "SANTA ISN'T REAL!" and even though I already knew I don't think my parents realised but in the end we were all laughing.
 
15. What made you realize the truth about Santa?
I think as you grow up you just eventually realise.
 
16. Do you make New Years resolutions? Do you stick to them?
 Not really.
 
17. What makes the holidays special for you?
Spending time with family and friends!
 
Thank-you for reading my answers and thank-you Tara for the tag!
