Blogmas Day 10 - I suck

Hey hey lovely people

Okay, apologies to each and every one of you for not posting yesterday!

Flashback to me this morning, putting on my makeup, when it suddenly dawned on my that I actually didn't put up a post! 

Yeah, why was that Jade?! A combination of overeating KFC, followed by a lovely warm bath made little old me super sleepy, so I fell asleep!

But what added to this dilemma? Only me using my all time favourite bubble bath, dubbed my 'Sleepy bubble bath'.

Ladies and Gentleman, I'm talking about Champneys Skin Comforting bath milk!

Seriously, just a whiff of this stuff and I immediately feel sleepy! I can't say what it smells like, but I think it's close to sun cream! Either way, I adore it!

So yeah, blame Champneys for this late post!

So, what things make you feel sleepy? Let me know in the comments below!

As always, thank you so much for reading & I hope you have a lovely day!

Lots of Love

Blogmas Day 9 - I'M FINALLY CURED

Hey hey lovely people!

Now, I know the title seems weird, but hear me out!

Okay, so as you know by now, since getting my braces on in April this year, I've had chapped lips. Now, initially, it was fine, I'd get bouts every 2 weeks or so, but it was completely manageable.

Then, about a month ago, it became extreme. I constantly had chapped lips without a break. My lip skin was peeling everyday and began stinging when I applied certain lip balms.

It's sounds so stupid but it was actually making be feel pretty sad, like it was never ending.

Well, that was until a few days ago, thank to a tip from my cousin: Use Vaseline.

No, I'm not talking about that little Vaseline lip therapy you get in a tin, I'm talking about full on, straight up Vaseline.

So, the next day, I popped into Boots and picked up a tub of Vaseline for just over £2, so already, I'm getting a better value for money, look at the size on it!!

Low and behold, ever since, my lips haven't cracked or peeled once. IT'S A MIRACLE!

So, to everyone suffering from really bad chapped lips, seriously, go out and get some Vaseline. It sounds so simple, and it is!

So, how many of you have ever had really bad chapped lips? Let me know in the comments below!

As always, thank you so much for reading & I hope you have a lovely day!

Blogmas Day 8 - The Sweater Weather Tag

Hey hey lovely people! 

Now, I know that sweater weather technically refers to Autumn, but here in the UK, I think we've gotten away with being able to wear casual clothes until the start of December, when it became bitterly cold.

Therefore, I'm giving myself the approval to do the Sweater Weather tag, of course, slightly adapted because it's now Winter.

Enjoy!

1. Favourite candle scent?

At the moment, though it's not necessarily a candle, my favourite candle scent is Blonde Moment by WickNWax. Seriously, it smells so good, so much so that I may be melting it right now. It's a mixture of champagne, raspberries and strawberries! 

But, if we're strictly talking about A/W scents, then it HAS to be spiced apple.YUM!

2. Coffee, tea, or hot chocolate?

Hot chocolate, of course! Specifically, a Costa white hot chocolate.

3. What's the best fall memory you have?

Hmm, this is a difficult one. Not so much a specific memory, but going to my local park and taking photos of squirrels in all the golden oranges of Autumn. It just looks beautiful. 

4. Which makeup trend do you prefer: dark lips or winged eyeliner? 

BOTH! Seriously, I refuse to choose. Combination please!

5. Best fragrance for fall?

Hmm, well, I don't really have a specific fall scent, but since I'm doing this in December, I'm going to call it A/W, in which case, it would be Chloé.

When I first bought Chloé, it was on my way to Paris in December, so it always reminds me of that. Is it sad that I'm getting upset about not being in Paris right now?

6. Favourite Thanksgiving food?

See, I wish the UK would adopt thanksgiving, purely for the excuse to eat a load of food! Now, the closest we get to Thanksgiving is Christmas, in which case, I'd say it's between roast potatoes and pigs in blankets. Mmm!

7. What is autumn weather like where you live?

Well, Autumn in Wales is just pretty neutral. The weather doesn't become bitterly cold until December kicks in. 

Autumn here is just kinda cloudy. I don't even think it rained that much too.

8. Most worn sweater?

Easy. Old school, but my grey 3/4 sleeved Hollister jumper with a giant blue H, which I personally think resembles the Hufflepuff logo. Plus, it looks great with a shirt underneath. 

9. Must-have nail polish this fall?

Barry M's Gelly Nail Paint in Paprika, with a matte coat on top. It reminds me of tan upholstery, which I'm pretty obsessed with! 

10. Football games or jumping in leaf piles?

Jumping in piles of leaves.

11. Skinny jeans or leggings?

Skinny jeans. They're so much warmer!

12. Combat boots or Uggs?

Combat boots. I have narrow feet, so wearing Uggs makes me walk like a penguin, way too much room.

13. Is pumpkin spice worth the hype?

Honestly, I couldn't tell you. I haven't tried a PSL, though, I do like pumpkin. 

14. Favorite fall TV show?

Fall TV Show?! Really! Well, this Autumn, I've been loving American Horror Story, and I guess it relates to Halloween so technically...

15. What song really gets you into the fall spirit? 

I don't really have an Autumn song. I guess anything my Haim, they just seem more Autumnal.

WAIT! NO! Sweater Weather by The Neighbourhood.

So, that's the Sweater Weather tag.
