Welcome to 2018!

Despite this being said every year by everyone in the human population, I cannot believe a whole year has passed. 2017 is slowly passing us by leaving only memories of the past twelve months. There's no doubt in my mind that this year has seen many tragedies across the world leaving families and a large number of people devastated with world events. Although these tragedies has caused sadness and anger across the world we have seen people come together and show evil never wins. Kindness and love only brings us all together to ensure nothing tears us down.
I hope we can all learn from what has happened this year and make 2018 the best and positive year yet.

As it is New Years Eve as I write this, I thought it would be a good idea to reflect on my own year. I certainly do not want to be writing this tomorrow hung over in bed. As tonight I will be going out with my all my friends celebrating the end of the year.

In January we celebrated my aunties 50th birthday which was in fact in October. She had a huge party full of all her family can closest friends.

My mum then turned 40 in February where we can had a quiet night in at home eating yummy Chinese. My boyfriends sister baked my mum a lovely cake with a shoe on top made of icing.

We then got to May and I turned 22. I celebrated by going out with my friends and then a meal out with my mum. I also celebrated with a chines take away with my dad and his side of the family. All in all there was plenty of food. Me and my boyfriend also celebrated our first year anniversary.

June was a very special month as it was my first trip to Disney Land Paris. The week spent there was magical and everything I thought it would be. I went on rides I never thought I would go on and just had an amazing time. 

September was quite a romantic month for me and my boyfriend as we were invited to two weddings. One was in the UK and the other was on the beautiful island of Skiathos. The Greek celebrations was to celebrate my boyfriends brothers wedding. 

If 2018 is anything like 2017 then I am very much looking forward to what is yet to come. Have a happy and healthy new year everyone.

What I got for Christmas 2017

It Wouldn't be right if I didn't write my annual "What I Got For Christmas" post. Therefore I am writing this today three days after December 25th. Christmas this year was what I would describe as lovely and chilled. It was filled with laughter, enjoyment and brilliant memories. It all kicked off on Christmas Eve by a lovely cooked breakfast at a nearby restaurant then down the two locals for a couple of drinks.

The morning of Christmas day I was awake at seven thirty where a cup of hot tea was waiting to be drunk. Santa had certainly been as the back room was filled with festive bags. Within about half an hour the room was covered in wrapping paper and empty bags. Before going to my auntie and uncles for dinner I chilled in bed in my new pyjamas and watched some wonderful telly.

Now lets get started with what I was very kindly gifted.

My dad brought me some new gym wear which I chose myself. Some fluffy socks and a new card holder for mu Arsenal membership. He also brought me a lovely, over sized jumper and fluffy body warmer from Matalan.

My sister brought me some new pyjamas, fluffy slipper boots and a couple of bits of Zoella beauty products.

My Nan and Pap spoiled me with a jumper from Zara, floral trousers from H&M, some Simple face wipes, socks and a Ted Baker compact mirror. The Now book is from my Dad.

Moving on to my Auntie and Uncle I was gifted a Ted Baker beauty set, some nail varnishes and perfume.

My Mum and her Husband also brought me some wonderful presents. These included a Charlotte Tilbury face palette, Liz Earl Moisturizer, Soap and Glory body washes a book and a Pandora ring. My boyfriend also brought me a beautiful Pandora ring in plain silver which I have stacked with my other two.

Now last but least my brother got me a dress and scarf from Miss Selfridge .

And that is all the generous presents I was very kindly gifted. I was very lucky to receive such wonderful gifts. It has been such a brilliant Christmas with my family and friends. I hope everyone else had lovely Christmas just as much as I did. I hope the day was spent with family and friends eating all the yummy food and chocolate. Now that Christmas has finished here is to a happy 2018.
