Top 17 Beauty Favourites

2017 went by as quick as flash, it sounds cliche as hell but time is going so quickly and I have no idea how to keep up! It was a busy year and this year is going to be getting even busier, just knowing that I have so many things lined up is making me both anxious and excited at the same time. After recovering from all the food over Christmas and lack of sleep, I am excited to get back on with the blogging. This is my very first post of 2018 and what a good one it is. These are my top 17 (for the year 2017) beauty favourites, I decided to only pick a number of things otherwise the post would be almost an essay and no one wants to read that much. There's some skincare, makeup and other bits that are very handy. 

                                         

NYE Prep for the Lazy Girl

Don't know about you but I am still recovering from Christmas Day!! I say it every year but this year for sure, I have eaten way more than my stomach can take and have been absoutelyu spoilt rotten. So thankful for everyone around me, it makes it all so magical. Now the next occasion is of course New Years. There are some people that plan for the occasion for weeks, but little me over here is more of a last minute, get things together a few days before and well do it the lazy girl way. 

                                                                                         

The Annual Festive Nails

My nails are something that I take pride in and care for everyday. This past year I have really got into getting them done professionally, basically I am an acrylic nail addict. Even after having them on constantly my nails are still in good shape underneath, not weak and still my nails so regardless of all the horror stories you read about saying how bad they are for your nails, I still get them done. I think it comes down to finding the right person to do them, my lovely nail lady has been doing mine for a few months now and she is more of a friend than just someone who does my nails. Find someone who doesn't use an electric file (they kill) and someone who takes pride in your nails, time to do them and is passionate about them.  

What Christmas Means To Me

I find it fascinating to hear how about everyone celebrates Christmas, someone I know does the whole thing on Boxing Day as opposed to Christmas Day. Some only do presents on Christmas Eve and so on, there is so many different ways to celebrate and each one means something different to someone. For me, Christmas is about spending time with family and friends, eating lots of food and of course laughing! 

Today I have the lovely Cerys giving you her take on what Christmas means to her, reading it will make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. 

Party Handbag Essentials

Yesterday, I kicked off my festive celebrations. With a friends Christmas dinner yesterday, one today and another two weeks packed with celebrations I have decided to be super organised. I have got myself a bag, ready to go and all it needs is a change of things depending on weather or the time of day the said event is. Sounds absolutely ridiculous now that I've wrote it out but I just have to be ready for anything and as I am always the none drinker of the group, I am the go to everything. Just to point out, I can't pack light for anything so half of these things probably aren't necessary.           

Winter Skincare On Rotation

Anyone else find that at this time of year there skin completely changes? Mine goes from being really oily all year round to dry as hell. It is so flaky and when I wear makeup there is so much texture! As soon as December hit, I made it a point to change up my skincare for the better. Still targeting the spot prone skin I have but using products that are also hydrating and make my skin feel better.
