Christmas Eve box | day 20

Image
So this may be a little early, but guys Ive been super busy and this was the only blog post I've got scheduled and stuff, so Ive bought it forward, because I have now missed 3 days of blogmas. In my defence, Ive had a really busy weekend, which included getting my hair done on the island, so that was a good 12 hour day... with no signal.  Then on sunday I ended up shopping in Brighton which was, like, all day. But on Sunday I did make a ginger bread house so...  And then on Monday I was sorting out my floordrobe. Honestly.  Anyway, my Christmas eve box, I thought about all the things that I do/ need on Christmas eve. I decided to put it all in a basket and show you guys. If I had loads for money I feel like this would be a really nice gift. Firstly the beauty products, You have to, at some point at Christmas Eve have a Lush product feature in your day. I chose my favourite bath bomb from this years Christmas collection; So White.  I've also got my Ove

Hot chocolate | Blogmas day 15

Image
I'm still doing this blogging everyday thing, and my god it is hard! I think it's harder actually scheduling tweets and fitting in photo shoots, than blogging! But hey, I'm surprised I have lasted this long. But today's post is all about hot chocolate. If anyone reading doesn't like Hot Chocolate.... Who even are you?!  I personally love having my Hot Chocolate it in a Mason Jar, only because you can go crazy with chocolate sauce and make it look super yummy/sickly and kind of freakshake-y. Normally I make Hot Chocolate with powdered stuff but at Christmas I just buy the chocolate milk and heat it up. I don't know if Gu still do it, but last christmas they had the yummiest chocolate milk and it was to die for. I normally use chocolate sauce around the edge of the mason jar to get the decorations to stick, but I had ran out of Chocolate sauce, so I used syrup, I find the fatter the cream the better it holds, so you have

Ootd | Blogmas and Vlogmas day 14

Image
This isn't a festive ootd but surely if you blog in December it can be counted as Blogmas?! Right? Right.  I got this dress from style we *, and love it, with these dresses I like that you can easily change the style of them by adding a belt. I think this is perfect for an office look. Or if you're out and about for the day!  Faux Leather Jacket - H&M Dress* - Style We Boots - H&M Rosie  Youtube  |  Twitter  |  Instagram  |  Bloglovin’

Bauble Christmas Wreath | BLOGMAS AND VLOGMAS DAY 13

Image
It isn't Christmas without a Christmas wreath! For today's post I've made a super snazzy Christmas Wreath! I absolutely love it!   I used a glue gun for this, but I imagine the you could get away with using the spongy double sided sticky tape!   This is a fun bit of crafting for anyone, and it  seems to be quite on trend at the moment! I did toy with doing one made out of pompoms but i thought with buying all the wool it may have gotten more expensive that doing it with baubles! Not going to lie .... did have to buy a few more baubles but to be honest, they were only a couple of quid!   Enjoy!   Rosie  Youtube  |  Twitter  |  Instagram  |  Bloglovin’

My Christmas List | Blogmas/Vlogmas Day 12

Image
Okay, so I don't think I'll be doing a gift guides this Blogmas but I thought I would do my own christmas list. The reason I won't be doing a christmas guide is because literally everyone does them, and every shop does them and every retail store online will do them. So I thought that mine will just fall in to the large hole of 'gift guides'. I think putting my christams list is quite a fun idea to put on my blog as it shows a bit of personality! Number 1; Calligraphy kit - I've wanted one of these for ages but haven't bought one because I think it would make a nice gift. I used to do calligraphy when I was younger so it would be fun to get back into it. Number 2 - A new dressing gown. I've seen so many nice ones in Next at the moment, which is surprising because normally I don't particularly like Next clothing. Number 3; Glow kit - Moon Child Anastasia Beverley Hill. I am in need of powder highlighters and I've never tried AB

Winter Wonder Land Trip! | Blogmas and Vlogmas Day 11

Image
Now that I don't work weekends it has made thing so much easier to do things! this year I finally managed to get to Winter Wonderland to have a look around. In hindsight I should have probably booked something, but it was a sort of last minute thing to do. Although we didn't book anything or do much I still had fun, there were lots of rides to watch and go on. We went to a few bars to have a couple of bevvies. Brought some sweets and had a wonder around. Oh and we got some churros (cuz I'm a fatty i ate them before I could photograph them!). There were bars which revolved round which I thought was pretty cool, although we didn't go in to those ones as they were so packed. The only thing I wish Tristan and I had done was go in the evening to get that Christmas feel, with all the pretty lights and everything.    Rosie  Youtube  |  Twitter  |  Instagram  |  Bloglovin’

The best and worst Lush Christmas products | Blogmas/Vlogmas Day 10

Image
Initially I was going to do just my favourite Christmas lush product but I thought that I would also add in my least favourite product in here too! To start off I'm going to be talking about my least favourite... Santasaurus. I am gutted about this one! I mentioned in my Christmas Lush Haul over on my Youtube Channel that I really liked him and thought that he would bubble up well. Long story, short, he didn't really bubble, I may have just got a bad batch though so who knows?! The product contains Brazilian Orange oil, which helps to refresh and rejuvenate and bergamot oil to help uplift and cleanse which gives Santasaurus it's scent, is quite a light scent, and isn't over powering.  But with Santasaurus' head and his Christmas hat in my bath tub it still didn't give me endless bubbles.  Saying this he is probably the cutest Lush Christmas product this year! My favourite lush product from this year was tricky, I will be honest and say tha

Wrapping presents | BLOGMAS AND VLOGMAS DAY 9

Image
You know when you buy someone a present and you know once wrapped that person will take one look at it and will be like 'what dvd have you got me' so this year I've decided to try and wrap a few presents a little differently.   I'm sewing together my wrapping presents!   It was actually quite fun doing it this way as you can use any colour thread you like and any shape you want!  I found this useful to wrap soft, squishy things, dvds and things that could be quite difficult to gift wrap.   Over all while it was fun it was a little frustrating when you cut the wrapping paper too small or make your shape to put the gift in too small!   Are you wrapping your presents differently this year? Or found some cool inspiration from pinterest?! Let me know by commenting or tweeting me! Rosie Youtube  |  Twitter  |  Instagram  |  Bloglovin’

LUSH OXFORD STREET HAUL | BLOGMAS/VLOGMAS DAY 7

Image
So this post wasn't in the Blogmas plan, but like I always say, plans never go to plan. I now have two lush posts, but who doesn't love Lush at Christmas?! Basically after a last minute trip to London on the weekend I thought I would do a mini haul on what I got at Lush. It was so busy in there that I kind of didn't get to have a mooch around, it was more a grab what you want and get out of there, it was that crazy. Error 404 Ok as much as I love lush, I only know a little bit about this product, Error 404 is a bath bomb which helps to promote awareness of Internet shutdowns in many countries where there shouldn't be. Lush are working with Accessnow to raise awareness and there is a petition to sign to stop this. Error 404 is a limited edition product which came out on Black Friday and online it has sold out as it only ran from the 25th nov to the 30th Nov. But I saw Error 404 in Oxford street and the London Victoria stores. Error 404 has Vanilla Absolute in and
