Had a Pizza Express date - It's been a little while since i'd seen my friend Abbie, so on Monday I met up with her and had a lovely little catch up over a really tasty Pizza Express. It was lovely to see her, as we are so both busy at the minute.

Enjoyed a lovely Christmas - My Christmas this year was the most relaxed Christmas that i've ever had and I got spoilt rotten by my family and my boyfriend. I'll be putting up a post all about my day and also a Christmas haul, as you all enjoyed both of those posts last year.
Grabbed some bargains in the Boxing Day sales - My boyfriend and I hop footed it into our local town on Boxing Day, where we both grabbed a few good bargains. Unfortunately Boots had sold out of all of the Soap & Glory bits I wanted and Lush wasn't open until yesterday, so I missed out a lot of the good stuff. Again, i'll be posting about what I picked up in the sales soon.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, as did I and that you have enjoyed relaxing and spending time with you loved ones!

Decorated our Christmas Tree - On Sunday we finally got our Christmas tree and I briefed my Mum that I wanted a fat tree this year and thank fully that is what I got! We went for a blue, silver and white theme this year, which turned out really well and I really love how it looks. Now just to fit all the presents under it! 

Announced my giveaway winners! - As most of you know, I had two amazing giveaways running on my blog for the past month and they both ended last weekend. So a big congrats to Kathryn, who won my 2nd Blog Birthday/Christmas Giveaway and a big congrats to Emily, who won my Makeup Revolution Giveaway!

Picked up the Soap & Glory The Next Big Thing Gift Set - On Friday I hop footed it into my local Boots to pick up this Soap & Glory set. As i'm sure you're aware but for a limited time only this gift set is only £29 and I just had to get my hands on it.

Made my room all Christmasy - I really wanted to make my room a little more festive this year, so I picked up some cute Christmas bedding from Primark and I love it! It's so snuggly and soft, and it's really starting to get me in the Christmas spirit!

Bought a copy of Girl Online - If you love Zoella as much as I do, then i'm sure you are all aware of her book that was released on Tuesday! Luckily I had the day off and I hop footed it into my local WhSmith, where they luckily had a couple of copies on the shelf and it was half price! So happy for Zoe and I can't wait to start reading it!

Saw The Hunger Game: Mockingjay Part 1 - I'm not the hugest fan of The Hunger Games, I haven't read the books but i've really enjoyed the previous two films, so it was only right to see the next instalment. I'm not going to spoil anything, but if you haven't seen it yet, you have to! It's so good, and I can't wait for part 2 now.

Started wrapping Christmas presents! - I started my Christmas shopping about two weeks ago and in a moment of boredom and through running out of hiding places, I decided to start wrapping some presents. I'm getting so excited for Christmas this year and I can't wait to see the big smiles of my family and friends when they open there presents.

Cooked Mum a yummy lasagne - As my step dad is currently away on business, I took advantage of this and cooked a lasagne for my mum and myself as we don't get to eat it very often. Not to toot my own horn, but I can make a mean lasagne and mum loved it!

Guest posted on Fragrance Direct - Quite an exciting thing happened this week as I had the opportunity to write a little guest post for Fragrance Direct's blog, which went live on Thursday. The post is all about some amazing yet affordable stocking fillers, so if you haven't yet, go check out the post here.

Today i'm enjoying my only day off this weekend, by doing a spot of Christmas shopping and hunting down some Christmasy bedding for my room.

What have you been up to this week?

This week has been a working week for me, as I worked 40+ hours this week, but i've also managed to fit in spending time with friends also. I've also started a somewhat healthier eating plan, thanks to Lydia for posting about her weight loss, it has inspired me somewhat to just eat better and try out new foods.

Went to see Ed Sheeran - Technically this was last week, but on Sunday my friend Meg and myself went to see Ed Sheeran for the fifth time together and it was really good. I got to have a good catch up with Meg as she is currently at uni, and to just chill out to some good music!

Ate at Carluccio's for the first time - On Wednesday after work, I popped out for a bite to eat with Abbie so I could give her birthday present to her and to have a catch up, as she has currently started a new job, so I don't see her very often. I had the nicest starter ever and my carbonara was pretty tasty too!

Celebrated my best friends birthday - On Monday was my best friends Abi's 22nd birthday, so we went bowling as a low key way of celebrating. Being a total beauty obsessor like myself, I got her some hair care bits and the most amazing smelling candle for her birthday!

I also went out for celebratory drinks last night, as my friend Jade has just got a new job so i'm feeling a little run down as we speak and my wisdom tooth has decided to make an appearance, which isn't helping much either, but i'm going to my Nans for a sunday roast later on, she makes the best sundays roasts!

I've had a really nice week this week, as I had the entire week off work to help my boyfriend move out of his parents house and we also had a few days away to have a little break from everything going on.

Drove down to Burnham-on-Sea - On Tuesday we made our way down the Burnham to visit the boyfriends grandparents. Whilst there we popped to Weston for the day and had a mooch where I picked up some new a/w pieces and we also went to a carnival show, which was really good.

Received some lovely roses - Not very often does the boyfriend get me flowers, but on Monday evening he surprised me with this beautiful pink roses, which thoroughly cheered me up.

Made a little trip to Ikea - In the midst of helping the boyfriend move, we popped to Ikea to get a few bits and bobs for his room, and I also picked up some things that i've wanted for a little while. They also had all of the Christmas stock in, which has gotten me even more excited for Christmas!

Today is going to be spent chilling out, catching up on youtube videos and tucking into a roast later, but all in all i've had a pretty good week.

What have you been up to this week?

 Purchased some Zoella Beauty products - Obviously I was going to purchase some of these products, and i'm sure a lot of you have as well, they're are just too cute to resist! I love the scent and the packaging, and I was so excited when my Feel Unique box turned up! I posted my first impressions a couple of days ago, so go check that out here.
Made an amazing lasagne - Trying not to toot my own horn here but it was really tasty, and I was so impressed with the white sauce I made and the boyfriend seemed to like it, so win win!

Upped my Twitter game - If you didn't know I have a separate Twitter that I use for my blog, and i've really been upping my use and interaction with all you lovely bloggers over on that Twitter account. Please make sure you're following me, as I update a lot of whats going on with the blog on there, as well as some odd ramblings throughout my day. You can follow me here.

Next week i'm off to Burham-on-Sea for a few days and also helping my boyfriend move house, so next weeks post will be a little more eventful. Hope you're all well and have had an awesome week!

Started packing for holiday - As I go on holiday on Wednesday, I started packing mid last week as I knew i'd be too busy by the time the weekend rolled round, especially with my graduation next week also. I'm going to Mallorca Rocks in Maga, and i'm so excited especially as i'll be able to see lots of my favourites such as Annie Mac!

Dyed my hair - I don't usually share this as I dye my hair pretty much every month with the same hair dye, but i'd left my hair un-dyed a little longer what with graduation and holiday coming up. This time I used a different hair dye to usual and I used the new Garnier Olia, which really impressed me compared to my usual hair dye so I may do a review on this.

Did a spot of decorating - Being the top girlfriend I am, I helped my boyfriend begin the process of redecorating his bedroom. Everything from grouting to sanding and then finally painting. I do love little mini projects and I can't wait to see it finished!

As I go on holiday on Wednesday, I have a few scheduled posts lined up for whilst i'm away so hopefully you guys won't miss me too much.

P.S - I have a little giveaway up on my Twitter, so make sure you go and check that out if you haven't already!

 Made some cushions - As I mentioned in my Ikea Haul, I was planning on making some cushions out of a duvet set I bought, so on Thursday I got my sewing machine out, dusted it off and got cracking. After a little while getting back to grips with it I managed to make the cushions, which i'm really pleased with. 

I'm back with sharing what i've been up to this past week, as last week nothing really happened as I was working the majority of the week. This week i've had pretty much the whole week off so i've spent it relaxing, catching up with people and just enjoying the nice weather. 

 Nabbed this cute bag from Primark - I've seen a few bloggers styling these bags, and when I saw them in my local Primark for £8 I just had to have it. It stores everything I need if i'm just popping out, and it looks super cute.

Had my first Nando's in probably a year - Earlier on in the week, myself and a bunch of friends popped to Nandos as we hadn't all had seen each other and we thought it would be nice to catch up over some tasty chicken. So good!

Next weekend i'll be celebrating my 21st, so expect some fun updates from that.
