It’s been a while since we last met and I apologise for that. Life gets busy and I have a lot going on at the moment. However, I have made a long list of all the things I want to write about, so I am planning on wading through that shortly. This post is a slightly belated ‘What I Got For Christmas twentyfourteen’ post. I love watching these on Youtube as it excites the purchasing goblins that live in my brain, making me scour the internet for things I don’t really have any need for; but I have seen it and therefore now I need it. So, I hope this post excites your shopping mad goblins or just satiates the innate nosiness we all have.

This is an overview of most of the things I was lucky enough to receive this year. I am aware that there are a few things missing now that I look around my room: perspex nail varnish tiered stand, Debrett’s guide to etiquette and modern manners, Q&A a day 5 year journal and probably some other stuff.
The ‘beauty section’ I suppose. I have tried to group my presents to make it easier to list. I got: pink hair chalk, Olay moisturiser, Directions Rose Red hair dye (my absolute favourite), the ‘rosy glow’ Korres mini set which includes a facial moisturiser, a repairing sleep mask, shower gel and body lotion, which all smell delicately and perfectly of roses. Soap and Glory the righteous butter, three Ciate nail polishes in Blizzard, Cabaret and It’s Haute in Here, a full sized and mini Body Shop hemp hand cream (the best hand cream you will ever, ever use – ever) and Mango and Satsuma body wash and Satsuma hand sanitiser. Two packets of day of the dead skull nail stickers, a Satsuma lip balm, beauty blender, fake lashes with diamante edges, a heart shaped mirror, Nivea moisturiser and some new eyelash curlers. *and breathe*
The ‘stationary section’ includes multiple notebooks, an anchor annual diary, some writing paper and envelopes, colouring pencils, a stamping alphabet set and a pen with pretty butterflies all over it.
The ‘miscellaneous section’ features a beautiful Ukulele (of which I am trying to teach myself…), a mason jar with lid and straw, a glowstick heart topped wand (obviously), popping candy chocolate orange and some cupcake and flamingo stickers. Pin up sailotr girl tissues that are far too cool to ever use, a multicoloured sparkly zip pouch for such things as makeup, a Jack Whitehall dvd, some spotty dotty paper straws, colouring book, shiney star studded purse and some Snow Angel massage bar from Lush that should have been in the previous section, but I forgot.
One of my favourite presents of all time, these cute and a damn button illustrations of Poirot wearing his grey City Suit and a cream Travel Suit. I cannot wait to get these framed and up on the wall! Just look at his face!!!
And then we come to the more sweets and chocolates than you can shake a stick at and a post Christmas Christmas sales present I bought myself section. I have had my eye on this silver sparkly satchel for a while now but couldn’t quite part with the twenty sterling they wanted for it, so when I saw that it was half price in the Paperchase sale I had to have it.
In conclusion, I received some very lovely things this year and if you want to know more about any of the items just ask. Next up is something rather less superficial, but what would life be without the variety?!
