I lovee watching and reading Christmas gift guides so much and last night when I went to wrap upsome presents I had a sudden thought that I could do my own gift guide, so waited till the morningso I could snap some photos for my very own gift guide

As I didn't have a massive array of gifts specifically for male or female I thought I'd mix it all together.

Heart pendant necklace - £14
The first thing I have on my gift guide is this delicate rose gold heart necklace from Lisa Angel.This necklace is so gorgeous and could be paired with anything and look so classy.

It is so nearly December and I am SO excited. I thought as it is my second Christmas of blogging, I would go full out. I will try to blog more often.
Christmas films are definitely one of the most exciting things ever. I thought i'd share my favessss.
1. Home Alone - I watched this for the first time earlier this month - I know, shock horror, I had never seen it before, and to be honest, I don't know how I hadn't seen it before - I LOVEDDD it so much. I laughed all the way through and it was just generally greaaaat.

2. Arthur Christmas - I know I am pulling out all the generic Christmas films, but how can I not mention this? It's amazing. I remember watching it at the cinema, but a fire alarm went off half-way through so there was a slight trauma, but no fire. Definitely recommend though.

3. The Nightmare Before Christmas -  this is not Halloween!!! holy molyyyy, this film!!!!! All I want to say is, if you haven't seen it, watch it now. I've probably watched it about 5 times this year.

4. The Polar Express - the cutest film, laaav it. I could literally watch this on repeat, an amazing, light hearted and happy film. A good'en if you're not a romance or sad film lover.

5. The Grinch - I adore this film, it never fails to make me smile.

I think everyone has seen most of these films but I thought i'd share them anyway because I loove them.

Whats your favourite Christmas film?

I planned to have the perfect Summer, do ALL the stuff I've wanted to do for ages, have the most aesthetic summer possible. But did that happen? Of course not!!
SO, I plan to make my Christmas / winter the BEST. I thought it'd be fun to share with you all my Christmas bucket list. Maybe it'll even inspire you to create your own?!
1. Go to a Christmas market
2. Make my own Christmas candle
3. Go ice skating
4. Decorate a ginger bread house (maybe not make it loool)
5. Go to at least 5 different places to look at their Christmas lights
6. Make my own snow globe
7. Watch LOADS of Christmas movies
8. Decorate the Christmas tree - I mean its a given really
9. Go to a carol concert
10. Find the perfecttt gifts for people
11. Donate items to the salvation army or a charity for the homeless
12. DIY Christmas decorations
13. Go to London
14. Make mince pies (more like jam tarts because I hate mince pies haha)
15. Make a Christmas garland

That is my Christmas bucket list. Nothing is extremely out there, for I am a teenager who is pretty much penniless but I will record any of these things I do do and update you after Christmas!
What's on your Christmas bucket list?

On Saturday we went out to pick some pumpkins. We went last year and it was SO fun so of course we – well I -  wanted to do it again!!

As a teenage blogger, it can sometimes be difficult to create good quality posts if blogging on a budget.
BUT, it doesn't have to be difficult. I thought i'd share some ways that you can create an amazing blog on a budget.
Photographs & Lighting
A lot of people think to have good blog posts you have to have a DSLR camera with a lens costing about £500 and with soft boxes to give you good lighting. But that isn't the case, as long as you have a camera of some sort (whether it's a phone or a £50 digital camera) and natural lighting, you're good to go. Blog photos don't have to cost you an arm and a leg.

Editing Software
Again, you don't have to spend an arm and a leg on editing software like photoshop to get perfect looking photos. There are so many free apps out there allowing you to edit photos, specifically their brightness, contrast etc. such as picmonkey. Although photoshop is my preferred editing app, picmonkey is still fab!!

Domain Name & Blog Templates
Both of these things you are able to buy and customize to how you would like them, but a domain name isn't necessary. Although it may bring more traffic to your blog, if you promote your posts on bloglovin' etc. you can still get all that traffic comin' in.
'Blogger' offers so many free templates. You can customize these to a certain extent and make your own header! There is really no need to pay someone to make a template for your blog, especially when it's a hobby and you can make your own for freeeee!!

There is just a few tips on how to blog on a budget, if you'd like me to do another of these posts, let me know!

Some mornings, the thing you least want to do is spend half an hour perfecting your makeup, with your contour giving you chiselled cheeks.
I thought i'd share with you five products I use on days where makeup isn't my thang.
I cannot do anything without a bitta primer. my skin makes EVERYTHING cake up on my face so a primer is very necessary. I think in the blogosphere this primer is very underrated. It makes my makeup go on so nicely, and keeps it on all day long.
For only £7.99, this primer lasts so long and is definitely worth it.

This concealer is a god send. I didn't want to jump on the band wagon when this was first hyped about and was dead against it. But i'm so pleased I caved in and tried it. I have been through so many tubes of this and i'm running low on my latest bottle.. if it was ever discontinued I think a part of my heart would break.
After not being able to justify buying another tube of Benefit Roller Lash, I resorted to this. And I love it. It gives my lashes a lot of volume, and coats every lash. I usually pair this with a kiko mascara for added 'blackness' but it also looks brill without!
Bronzer is a staple in my makeup collection, especially this one. It just adds a pop of colour to your cheeks, and once blended out you are a bronzed goddess. Although this is quite costly it is worth it. I looove it!
I had a blusher from no. 7 and I never thought I would change or use a different one, but since finding this blush, everything has changed. This blush is super shimmery so if that isn't your thing, steer clear of this. It is a gorgeous pink colour, I would 10/10 recommend.
Whats your favourite makeup product?

In spirit of the festival season, I teamed up with TickPick to create my very own "Fauxchella" line up. I think this was possibly one of the most exciting things I have done.
TickPick is a super awesome website where you can buy and sell event tickets (ranging from concerts to the theatre!) so if you are looking for tickets to concerts or maybe even an NFL game when your fave band/singers play here in the UK be sure to check out TickPick for a no hidden fee ticket buying experience!

Onto my lineup:


I chose all these bands and singers because I looove them, and it would be the biggest privilege in the world to see them, now with TickPick, I might be able to!

Panic! At The Disco
As I've mentioned previously, panic! are my faaave band. Their music just does something for me? It's crazy, it gets me so emotional - HAHA!
My fave p!atd song at the moment is definitely That Green Gentleman. It's so cheery and I always have a good boogie to it!
Unfortunately, as they have gone their separate ways, we no longer have Ryans INCREDIBLE voice. But if you want some mega-feels watch their cover of Radiohead's Karma Police.

Fall Out Boy
I have also mentioned FOB in one of my posts before. I looove them. Patricks voice is super unique and sends a shiver down my spine, loool.
My fave track by them at the moment is 'I don't care', it makes me feel sassy as I walk down the street with my earphones in.. haha.

Twenty One Pilots
Josh and Tyler are brilliant. They are such lovely people and their music is super inspiring.
I don't want to repeat myself too much in this post, but as I picked these people, I will end up saying they're my favourites. Which, they are!!
My fave tunes by them are polarize and lovely.

My Chemical Romance
Don't get me started on MCR, I will cry. Just listen to them!
My fave is I don't love you.

The Wombats
The Wombats are a bit different to the rest of the bands I am including in this post. They're more chill, more indie.. I love them so much nonetheless.
My fave tooons are Tokyo - vampires and wolves and Greek Tragedy.

The Beatles
The Beatles are always a classic, I don't think I will EVER stop loving them. I could write five paragraphs about why I love them and my favourite songs. Although, sadly we are a world without George and John, they will always be in my heart.
I could NEVER pick one of two of my favourite songs... its just too hard.

The Hunna
For me, The Hunna have been a recent discovery, I heard them on Kerrang radio once and have loved them since.
My favourite song by them is you & me.

Andy Black
You may know him as Andy Biersack or Andy from BVB. I find BVB quite a scary band, I won't lie to you. But Andy's voice is so beautiful, I just love him!
My fave song is Stay Alive.

Simon & Garfunkel
As you might be able to see, my music taste varies a lot, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel are incredible. I find Paul's voice super relaxing and soothing and find he has a generally lovely voice.
My fave is I am a rock, 100%!!

I hope you liked this post, it was a bit of a different one!
Don't forget to check out TickPick!
See you soon,
