Top 5 Movies Of 2014!

5. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay

I wasn't excited about this movie because it was my least favourite book in the series, but I actually really enjoyed it. Jennifer Laurence is just flawless and the scene where she sings The Hanging Tree is so much more beautiful than I ever imagined. Watching this movie made me realise just how great this whole series is. I really can't wait for Mockingjay part 2!

4. X-Men: Days Of Futures Past:

The movie I was actually going to see was fully booked so this was a last minute decision, but I'm so glad it happened. Action/superhero movies are definitely not my first choice when I go to see a film, but this I really enjoyed. I had only seen one previous X-men when I was younger, so I thought I would get confused, but I didn't once. I also thought Jennifer Laurence was great (as always) and I would definitely watch the next one!

3. 22 Jump Street:

Every great list needs a bit of Channing Tatum right?! They have done it again and come back with another hilarious movie. Jonah Hill has to be one of my favourite actors ever and he's so funny in these movies! This time they are going undercover in a college to find out who is selling drugs. I definitely laughed out loud many times in the cinema!

2. Gone Girl:

I have never felt so tense watching a movie before in my life. This film is an incredible watch! It's all very crazy but it keeps you guessing the whole time. I don't want to go too much into the story because I don't want to spoil it, but I can tell you it's a must-see!

1. The Fault In Our Stars:

I was very nervous about this movie because it's my favourite book ever! But I got the chance to go to an early screening and I was so happy to see it was made perfectly. If anybody needs a film that makes you feel every emotion under the sun, then watch this. It's a story of star-crossed lovers, who's beautiful love shines through such an unfortunate situation. I honestly think it's a must see and I recommend it to every single person out there.

Top 5 Christmas songs!

5. All I Want For Christmas - Mariah Carey

This song is an absolute classic, it's one of those 'sing as loud as you possibly can' songs! It's definitely always on my Christmas playlist every year and always makes me smile.

4. Michael Bublé - Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)

Michael Bublé is a bit of a Christmas legend and his smooth voice is always played in my home. This is definitely my favourite on his album and it puts me in the Christmas mood.

3. Band Aid 30 - Do They Know It's Christmas?

I had to add this song to my top 5 because it includes so many great singers and it's for such a great cause. Any song which includes Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith and One Direction, I know I'm going to love!

2. Ariana Grande - Santa Tell Me

If you know me, then you will know my slight obsession with Ariana Grande! I think she's great and she's done it again with this Christmas song. If you haven't heard it yet I strongly recommend!

1. PTX Christmas - The Christmas Song/ That's Christmas To Me

Another obsession of mine is pentatonix who are an acapella group (If you didn't know yet). Every year they do Christmas right and release beautiful Christmas songs, including originals and the classics. These are the ultimate songs to put me in the spirit and put a huge smile on my face!

Baked Sweet Potato Flat Fries

So, my latest obsession is sweet potato fries! I have literally been eating them every single day, in every single way. Now, I'm not a fussy eater but I hated sweet potatoes, which is why I'm so suprised to love these. But they are so simple and you can have them with just about anything.

Ingredients:

1 Sweet Potato

Any Seasoning of your choice

First you slice a sweet potato into either the shape of fries or flat like mine.

Next you throw on any old seasoning. (I like a bit of salt and smoked paprika or chilli powder best.)

Then chuck them in to the oven for 20 minutes. (Give them a shake after 10 minutes.)

And there you go! I like to have mine with some ketchup or houmous but the choice is yours!

Glossybox December Review

Glossybox is a monthly subscription box containing 5 beauty products best suited to you and I'm slightly obsessed with it. All you have to do is fill in a beauty profile, which includes questions on your everyday look, hair type, skin type and product preferences. As well as the products, the themed box is always beautiful and great to use as storage. The products are wrapped up in pretty paper with a colour coordinated ribbon!

This month I received:

• Bellapierre Cosmetics Cheek & Lip Stain (Full Size) 

• SkinPep Hydra Boost Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum

• Essense Colour & Go Nail Polish (Full Size)

• Anatomicals Zap! Zap! Zap! Gets That Chap. Day and Night Spot Stick (Full Size)

• TRESemmé Renewal Hair and Scalp Nourish & Renew Tonic (Full Size)

This month contained many full size products, which I got excited about. My favourite product is the Hair tonic and I can't wait to use it. I also loved the spot stick, which will really come in handy when I break out.

The prices differ depending on which plan you choose but I'm on the monthly plan which is £10 per month. It is definitely great value for what you receive and I highly recommend subscribing.

No7 Lipstick Review

So this lipstick has been my go to lipstick for the whole Autumn/Winter season. Its a lipstick which was my mums, so it's not a new one out there. It seems to be a miracle product, as it glides on smoothly and gives a great shine. I struggle to find lipsticks which do not dry out my lips and stay on all day. This doesn't seem to even rub off when I have a drink, which is one of my biggest peeves.

The lipstick that I'm rambling about is No7 Moisture Surge in the colour "Plum Beautiful".  I can't seem to find it anywhere, so I assume it's been discontinued. Although No7 have the Moisture Drench range that includes the same colour, which could possibly mean it's been renamed. I am definetly going to purchase one soon so I can try it and find out. 

I strongly recommend the colour and I honestly can't get enough of it. If you wish to purchase Moisture Drench in "Plum Beautiful" I've left a link below:

Pink Parcel December Review!

Now I seem to have a strong love for subscription boxes, but this is one of my true favourites. Pink parcel is a subscription service which just gives us girls a bit of relief at that one "time of the month" we all hate.. The first box you receive is £5.95, after that the price is £9.99 a month. 

Within the pink parcel you get 2 boxes for later and a bag for now filled with your chosen product. (They supply you with your favourite brand, with a good selection including tampax and lil-lets.) You also get a box just for you, filled with surprise treats. (This is my favourite bit!!)

St Tropez Instant Glow Face Lotion:

I'm still yet to use this, but I know this is a great brand. The lotion is a wash off product, which is 

great for people like me who are scared of semi-permanent tans.

Loréal Super Liner Gel Intenza:

I'm so excited to use this product! I love gel liners and I have previously tried this one out, so I know it's a great choice.

Pukka Womankind Tea: 

I was hesitant over this tea, because I hate herbal teas that taste too leafy. But this was a nice, fruity suprise and although I overloaded it with sugar, it was not too bad.

Montezuma's Organic Chocolate: This milk chocolate bar was unbelievably good and I feel like I inhaled it, because it went so fast! (I have no regrets, it was so yummy!)

Peppersmith Fresh Mints:

I am still yet to try these, but I don't think you can go wrong with a good, old mint. The box is a perfect size to place in your bag, for whenever you fancy a fresh mint.

W7 Camouflage Kit:

I have previously purchased the w7 camouflage concealer kit, although I found it didn't work for my dry skin which is a shame. 

Also, if you are afraid of the packaging and if it's obvious to your postman what the box contains, then you don't need to worry. It's all packaged in white with one sticker on it (image above) which is pretty funny once you know what's inside.

It's Christmas Time!

So yesterday, (as it's finally acceptable to fully celebrate Christmas!) I decorated my house. This is one of my favourite things to do every year and it never gets old. Although I was listening to Christmas music in October, I now know it's officially time to celebrate the season.

10 Christmas favourites:

• Listening to loud Christmas music.

• Decorating the tree (If you haven't already).

• Wrapping and Opening presents.

• Making a wish when the angel is placed on the top of the tree.

• Advent Calenders.

• Spending time with people you love.

• Christmas Dinner.

• Lots of chocolate (Yay).

• Wearing ugly Christmas jumpers.

• Christmas movies!

Christmas for me, symbolises family and it's a time when I can just forget all my worries and enjoy what I have. (And stuff my face with loads of food!). So let's all celebrate the Christmas magic and may your days be merry and bright!
