There isn't really anything I really need this Christmas but obviously there is always a few things I'd quite like to receive, on top of it being a cupcake maker, Don't ask me why I don't know I'd just really like one :) I did a Christmas wish list post HERE

Two

I'm sadly working pretty much the whole build up to Christmas, I've only got 4 days off from now till then :( So I haven't really got an agenda this year.

Three

I've definitely started my Christmas shopping, but I keeping thinking I've finished and then remembering someone I haven't brought for yet, I should really make a list and tick people off, would be much more organised and easier I swear.

Four

I don't actually think I've had a surprise big gift, that I can remember anyway, I may have had some when I was younger.

Five

We have always put ours up on the 12th December because thats my Dads birthday, My parents divorced when I was little so my dad would always come over so we could do it and it just stuck.

Six

Yes I love to get a new outfit for Christmas Day, I brought mine Yesterday :) OOTD to come! :)

Seven 

Not yet, I normally like to have a very lazy Boxing day Jammies, films and crap food :) I think that's the best way to spend boxing day :)

Eight 

I can't remember how old I was but I came down stairs to get a drink and my mum and dad where putting the presents under the tree and putting presents into our stockings = one heart broken child

Nine 

I don't know if its a special Christmas scent but Spiced Orange from Yankee Candle is my new obsession, omg it smells so good! 

Ten 

I love Advent, I love everyone getting into the Christmas spirit and buying presents and decorating the house and burning m advent candle, I love the atmosphere advent brings :) 

The End 

Yay :) I hope you liked this tag, I thought it was cute :) I tag you all to do it :) and make sure to leave me your links below!!

My Christmas Bucket List

Hello PPB's

How are you all? Keeping wrapped up warm I hope! How many of you have started your Christmas shopping yet? I sure haven't ha, like seriously I haven't even brought one thing. I'm planning on starting it Wednesday I have a short day at work then going for lunch with my friend who is off travelling for 3 months and then I'm planning on hitting the shops, it's late night shopping in Cambridge on Wednesdays too so I'll have plenty of time! :)...Whats the betting I come back with nothing...probably quite high!

Anyway onto the point of this post! :) I was tagged by the very cute Kelsey from Kelsey misskfb to do the Christmas Bucket List Tag (obviously) It was created by Dayna from adaynasaur Seriously love her blogs name! haha!! 

 I have decided to create the 'Christmas Bucket List Tag' so that not only I get to create a list of wonderful festive things to do but so that I can keep in touch with fellow bloggers and see what Christmassy activities they're getting up too this year! The rules of this tag are pretty simple; you must post a list of things you would like to do this festive season on your blog, once each of these activities have been done you can either  do a separate blog post on each activity or do a large, combined post containing all of the things on your bucket list after they have been done including pictures etc, how you decide to do it is completely up to you! And lastly you must tag 5 other bloggers to do the tag, if you are participating in the Christmas Bucket List Tag I would love to see, so feel free to tweet me @adaynasaur or leave a comment below ♥

My List

1) Wrap all the gifts I buy for everyone is pretty boxes with bows.

2) Watch my all time favourite film 'The polar express' about 10 times.

3) Have a bath using Lush's Bath bomb 'Christmas eve' on Christmas eve.

4) Make Christmas cupcakes (successfully this time)

5) Decorate my room all cute and Christmasy complete with mini tree.

6) Try to stop the Boyfriend from being a scrooge this year (Harder than it sounds)

7) Find lots of amazing cute DIY ideas on Pinterest and do at least 3 of them.

8) Take as many pictures as possible throughout advent, my favourite part of Christmas is the build up. 

What do you think? I hope I do all of these :) I guess we will just have to wait and see! :) 

Okay so I tag - 

Katie - Katie's World of Beauty

Jules - Lippy Likes

Penny - LilliesandLove

Claire - Gisforgingers

Can't wait to read your bucket lists! If you do this tag please tweet me @pollypocketx91

I'm a Beauty Blogger - Get me out of here!! - TAG

Hello PPB's

I saw on Twitter yesterday that the lovely girls Rochella and Natasha from next-route-style have created a tag all about the new series of I'm a celeb, now I love this programme, so I couldn't resist doing it on my blog! So here goes! :) 

There are 8 Questions and then I will tag some of my favourites to do it too! :)

1) You can only take one product into the jungle (aka your luxury item) what would you choose and why?

AHH only 1!! erm.. I'm stuck between a good moisturiser or a Moroccan oil.... For me it would probably be Moroccan oil, the heat would just kill my hair!!

2) What would be your main pre-jungle worry?

Going to the Loo.....what if there are bugs are in the toilet.. agh just no!

3) You only have 5 minutes to get ready before going into the jungle, what would be your quick beauty routine?

Concealer with some powered and a thin coat of mascara. No point wasting a lot of make up.

4) Last year we saw Helen Flanagan wearing her hair in a top bun. What would be your signature hairstyle?

Messy Top knot! It's my life saver hair style, when it doubt turn your head upside! :) It's saved me on many mornings!

5) For Moral support, which female celebrity would you like to be in the jungle with you?

I personally wouldn't want a female, I'd want a male! to scare away all the spiders and bugs from me! If I could have Tom Hardy in the jungle with me I'd do every challenge just to impress him too! 

6) Everyone's given a role in the camp, What lifestyle skill would you bring to the jungle?

I'd be the agony aunt, everyone says I'm a good morale boaster so I'd keep everyone happy....Or at least I'd try...is that a lifestyle skill?

7) What one thing about being a beauty blogger that makes you want to scream, 'get me out of here'?

Not know what to post about, but know I really need to get one up. It plays on my mind and its all I can think about. 

8) Challenge - This is a one in a life time opportunity. Your up for a trial to face your fears or try something new, what would you choose to do and why?

Well I would 'choose' to do anything ha who would?! One of my biggest fears is being locked in somewhere I can't get out of, I need to know theres a way out, but I would rather face that fair than eat testicles...I'm sure I'm not alone! 

I loved last nights episode!! can't wait for the trial tonight! :) Make sure to follow me on twitter, I will tweeting the whole way through! :) @pollypocketx91

Claire - GisforGingers

Elle - My life and more

The Disney Tag

Hello PPB's :)

Well who doesn't love Disney! After watching 'lilmisschickas' video I just had to do it on my blog! :) 

 Here is just a few of my Disney film collection and its deffinetly still growing!

So lets just get straight into it! :)

1) Which Disney scene do you wish you could experience?

How hard is this question! Seriously! I can't narrow it down to just one scene, but one thing I wish was acceptable in real life is to just break out into song randomly in the middle of the street, just singing about what your doing or how your feeling! How much happier would the world be!

2) The first time you went to disney?

I can't remember if it was for my 15th or 16th birthday, but I was on holiday with my best friend and her family in france and her birthday is only 2 weeks after mine so we had gone out for a meal the day before her birthday to celebrate and she opened her birthday card and there where 2 tickets to Disney paris!! We screamed so loud everyone looked! Best present ever and it was the best day ever!!

3)Your most unforgetable moment in the park?

As cheesey as this sounds it was walking into the park and seeing the castle and all the characters! Its like your walking into a childhood dream!

4)What song reminds you of the park?

Its got to be 'Wish upon a star' I love this song anyway but whenever I hear it, it reminds me of the end of the day when the fireworks were going up around the castle. Happy Tears!

5)The character that you want to be your best friend?

Erm........how am I meant to pick one?! It's impossible! Okay if i had to pick one it would be Mary Poppins! I'd love to be able to click my fingers and everything be tidy!!

6)What was the first Disney film that you remember watching.

Well the first disney film I remember, you can't actully get anymore, it was called 'Song of the South' Remeber the song 'Zipady do da Zipady a' or 'Mr blue birds of my shoulder, it's the truth, it's actual, everything is satifactual' Know it? But they never made it into DVD and stopped making the Videos becasuse they said it was too rasict :( I adored that film!

7)Favourite disney Princess?

Obviously Aurora (sleeping beauty) I named my little cat after her! :)

8) What is one of the scenes in a Disney film that makes your cry?

There are so many scenes that make me cry! When Bambi's mum dies, When Mufasa dies, Dumbo with his mum, when he swings on her trunk! AH so many!

9)What disney film will make you feel better no matter what mood your in?

It's Winnie the Pooh and the blustery day, I still have it on video!

I also still have these on video too!!

10) What is your favourite Disney film?

I can't pick one so I'm going to list my most watched! In no order just as they come to mind! :) :)

• Bed knobs and broomsticks
• Lion King
• Brother bear
• Happy Feet

Again AHH just too many!!

This tag has brought back so many memories! :) I tag all of you to do it! :)

Whats your all time favourite film or films?

Lots of Love

The Autumn Tag

Hello PPB's

I love doing tag posts like this! okay I love doing tag posts whatever they are. I saw this one on the lovely Molly from whatmollyloves and I had to do it! :)

Favourite thing about Autumn?

All the cosyness of autumn, big snuggley jumpers, hot chocolates, candles. I love watching films all warm inside while its cold and dark outside! I always buy new scarfs when autumn comes around and this year will be no different! :)

Favourite Drink?

Well nothing beats a god cup of tea! But if I'm out I love a hot chocolate or a vanilla latte! I really want to try Costa's new Chocolate orange drink! It's sounds amazing!

Favourite Scent/Candle?

I'm abit boring when it comes candle scents, I pretty much always get Yankee Candles and normaly is some sort of vanilla scent, Although last year I did start to really like spice scented candles so I think I am going to try a few more of them this year. Can you recommend any?

Best Lipstick?

MAC - viva la glam 1- It's a deep red! I love wearing deep red lips all through autumn.

Go-To moisturiser?

I have so many different moisturisers that I don't stick to just one so I couldnt narrow it down to one, but my favourites are Soap and Glory's - The righteous butter, so thick and creamy and we all know how good it smells, and Penhaligon's - Ellenisia Smells so good! and a little bit goes along way so it lasts ages!

Go-To colour fort he eyes?

This pretty much stays the same all year around, I just go abit darker in autumn, Browns and nudes, however in autumn I use darker shades and eyeliner as well. I think a heavier eye looks much better in autumn.

Favourite music to listen to?

Again this stays the same all year around, Currently in my car is the Mumford and sons album, its played on repeat!

Favourite outfit to wear?

A big oversized jumper with jeans and big slipper socks, I go to warmth and snuggleness rather then on trend in autumn. I try to stick to on trend colours though :) I really want a tartan jumper this year does anyone know where I can get one?

Autumn treat.

I made some today! Brownies! Chocolate brownies and a cup of tea is the way to go when its cold outside!

Favourite place to be.

In my room with a candle burning, a cup of tea a hotwater bottle and my laptop, I find I type a lot more blog posts in autumn! :)

I hope you enjoyed reading my tag post :) I tag you all to do it! I would love to see what you all love in autumn! Leave your links int he comments if you do it! :)

Lots of Love

Whats in my Shower/Bath

I have seen this post go around YouTube and thought well why not do it in a blog post! :) I  have really enjoyed watching them, so let me know if you have done one video or blog post I would love to have a look :)

So whats in my shower...Well

Body

Who doesn't enjoy a good bubble bath?! I know I do and I really like the Johnsons Bath & wash, yes I know its meant for babies, but It really does leave my skin so soft, so I am not ashamed! :)

Moving across to the Molton Brown Body Wash, oh wow! thats all I can say! This was a free sample I got from a friend she had got 3 and was lovely enough to give me one, this stuff is amazing! the smell is so good! and lingers on the skin and it lathers up so well, which means this sample may last me a long time because a little really goes a long way! I really may have to go and get the full size....

Right at the bottom is a Boots Body scrup and this on is the coco butter one, honestly I'm really disappointed with this! It does smell good but I leaves a greasy feeling on the skin which really isnt nice, this is really only still in my shower because it needs to be used up! sad but true.

Moving up is the Soap and Glory Sugar Crush scrub..now this is a different story, I love this! The smell makes me want to eat it and the scrub is amazing and really does an amazing job exfoliating! Thsi is definitely my go to body scrub.

Okay I have just realised there are 3 scrubs in my shower! haha

So onto the Anatomical Don't just clean it women, scrub it Body scrub, I got this is a GlossyBox, I do like it, and I enjoy using it, but I don't think I will be going out to get the full size, its nice to use but I still find myself reaching for Soap and Glory.

Now right at the top again Soap and Glory but this time The clean on me Shower gel, Well yet again, love this! Smell is amazing and the lathers up amazing, I also love the pump on it, I just think this is so much easier in the shower, you don't have to struggle with a screw top when you have wet hands (who else does that annoy) you just pump and go! Amazing! :) Can you tell I love it!? haha

Hair

You all know how much I love Redken Extreme, My full post Here. I have only been using the Conditioner atm a) Because I have run out of the Shampoo and can't afford to get more yet and B) I am really loving my Lush Shampoo Bar! It's call 'NEW' Its been designed to help 'stimulate hair follicles and maximise growth.' I am going to do a full post on this after I have used it for a but longer, I really am hoping to see some results! First impressions I am impressed so far, Its got a very strong smell of Cinnamon, obviously because of the Cinnamon stick thats stuck on the top! haha But I was abit worried about using it because I didn't know if it would actually clean my hair, but I really did!! The only thing I find it that it makes it feel very dry so I have to use a conditioner otherwise I don't think I would be able to even get my tangle teaser through it!

So that's whats in my shower/Bath :) Do you use any of the same products?

I Tag all of you to do this but particularly;

 Sophie - Flirty Dresses

Ashley - JerseyGirl1216

Stacey - Beautiful-Solutions

Just a quick one before I leave, I'm sure your all aware by now about GFC, So Pretty please keep showing your support for my little blog and follow through Bloglovin, it really would mean so much! :) The link is over there >> :)

Lots of Love
