Something New each Day

Hi my lil' Christmas Fairies, It's my absolute favourite time of the year and I can quite honestly say that I've been excited for Christmas since my birthday (which was the 1st Oct). However, come December, although I'm trying to get into the Christmas spirit, I have to remember that I'm in my 3rd year of university and have deadlines galore. So then, how do you get a flat (of two) and yourself into the Christmas mood when the education system wants to keep you down with essays and readings? Here is how I got ready for the Christmas season (I have not been sponsored for any of this but this is just where I bought all my stuff): 1. Christmas Tree (£4 from B&Q) What is the first thing you think about when someone mentions Christmas? For me it's the Christmas Tree and buying the perfect one for your place. Everything is ready for me at home but as a student, with a small flat and limited budget, it's sometimes so hard to find a tree that's ...

Hiya Guys, I once again apologise for the lack of Music Friday, I had little time and no stand out aspect of music that I really wanted to talk about so please send me some suggestions for next week as I will be more free as I finish for the term. However, this means that I will try and do more normal posts this week and some are witty like this one and have some sort of useful advice. As we all know, it's Christmas soon which means that we are all of shopping in different places for those gifts for friends and family. This also means that you're going to be going shopping somewhere where shops are having sales and tempting you with everything from clothes to unnecessary trinkets. Don't worry, as a shopoholic I have been there (take yesterday for example where I went to wander around Oxford Road and bought £20 worth of stuff from H&M when I had gone for Xmas shopping) and I want to impart some wisdom I wish I knew. Here are a list of tips to make sure that ...

Hiya Guys, I am really getting into the Christmas mood this week and I decided to have a wack at one of the most Christmas like activities... ICE SKATING! I have never really gone before especially outside but due to it being cheap and the option for students getting a free drink, me and 2 friends decided to go to the National History Museum who had a Swarovski Ice Rink. It meant skating in the beautiful London air as the sun went down with the lights hung on all the trees. Everything seemed gorgeous as we sipped our free hot chocolate with marshmallows and cream. That was until we started skating! All the photos we got from the free picture booth shows me holding my friends hand and it all looks so friendly and sweet... honestly it was just because I would have fallen otherwise. I was absolutely awful compared to one of my friends who was a natural and the other who had 5 years of ice skating training, I mean I could barely let go of the barrier without someone holding me...

Hiya Guys, Hopefully the title and the day sort of show you what today's Music Friday  is going to be about. As I have been listening to Christmas music since about July, I have picked up a great playlist of Christmas songs, some of which I listened to while decorating my flat which you can read about that in my last post.  There will be a mix in this playlist and, although I love the classics and originals of songs, I thought that most people already know them so I'll throw together some modern ones, some of which are original and some of which are covers. Please don't hate, just appreciate and choose which ones you blast full volume or those that cause you to curse under your breath at me. Here are songs that are originals by artists: 1. Jingle Bell Pop by IM5 Even though the name sounds very similar to Jingle Bell Rock, it is nothing like it. Written by IM5's own Will Jay, it is upbeat, poppy and the video just makes me smile whenever I watch it. ...
