The Rock n Roll Panto: Blogmas day 15

Hey guys!

One of our yearly traditions is to go to the panto at our local theatre, The Wolsey.

It’s an annual Christmas panto and is rock n roll themed. It is always full to the brim will brilliant songs.

This year the panto is Red Riding Hood. Their take on the classic tale was really good.

I went to the panto with my husband Tim and sister Sarah. This is mine and Tim’s 5th year going to the panto and Sarah’s 2nd. We all LOVED IT.

The stage was really cool too, I think it is my favourite one so far…

I love the atmosphere and the warm, cosy feel of the place. Its a great festive outing and it really puts you in a happy mood.

The acting was great, and it was absolutely HILARIOUS.

I would even go as far as to say it was the best one we have seen so far!! Tim and Sarah agreed too.

I know a lot of people think that pantos are cheesy but, they are so much fun, a laugh and really feel good.

If you’ve never been go! You wont regret it.

& on that note…

IT IS 10 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS PEOPLE!! 10 DAYS!!

 

Until next time,

Roseanne 🙂

My Tanya Burr advent calendar: Blogmas day 14

Hi guys!

IT’S LESS THAN 2 WEEKS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!!!! That’s crazy 🎄🎄

It’s also time for another look in my Tanya treats beauty advent calendar.

Let’s see what I got…


Behind the latest window was a little compact mirror. It’s a lovely matte dark red colour with a matte bronze edging. It has ‘Tanya Burr cosmetics’ I  her trademark font (which I love btw) 

There’s also a little ‘TB’ in a heart above the writint, in the same lovely matte bronzy colour.

This is really pretty and the perfect size for popping into your handbag.
Until next time,

My Tanya Burr advent calendar: Blogmas day 12! ❄️

Hi guys!

Another day, another window. I am loving having a beauty advent calendar again this year, although its so hard to stop myself from opening one everyday for 12 days instead of every other day!! So far so good but its very tempting!

Lets take a look behind the next window…

 

This time I got a little pot of eye glitter. The glitter is called ‘Let it snow’ ❄️

The glitter is a lovely white and sparkly tone, when it catches the light it shines lots of different colours. Its really pretty and super festive.

I love this product as I don’t do my eye make up very much so I am excited to try out something different. This is super festive and sparkly and will be great for a Christmassy/party look. I think I am going to give this a try for my work Christmas meal on Friday!

The packaging is super simple and cute, I love the shape of the pot. plus its the perfect size to pop into any make up bag.

 

Until next time,

Roseanne 🙂

Getting into the festive spirit 🎄 Blogmas day 11

Hi guys!

It’s very easy to get caught up in the hussle and bussle of December, its a super busy month in the lead up to Christmas, but you need to make sure you enjoy Christmas yourself.

It will make the festive period so much more enjoyable if you take the time to get into the spirit.

These are just a few ways that I spend a day in, if I want to get into the festive spirit or am feeling particularly Christmassy and want to have a Christmassy day.

Lets take a look…

1. Watch a Christmas film/TV show

I love popping a Christmas film on, to sit and watch or to have on the background. I am quite fond of the  ‘made for TV’ Christmas films, I’ve been recording those to watch at the weekends. One of my fave Christmas films is Arthur Christmas, although I do have to watch the Gavin and Stacey Christmas special at least once!!

2.  Write out your Christmas cards

This not only gets you in to the Christmas mood but it also ticks a job off the list too which is great for taking away some of the seasonal stress. I LOVE our Christmas cards this year, I found them in Primark and they are Harry Potter Christmas cards.

Of course I had to buy them, they are so cool but the designs are really pretty too. They were £1 for a pack of 30 and I bought three packs.

3. Do some decorating

This is one of my most favourite Christmassy activities ever and it is guaranteed to make you feel so festive, I seriously challenge anyone to not feel super festive whilst putting up the decs.

If I’m feeling really Christmassy I end up buying more decorations or just going around the flat popping all the lights on and admiring the tree decorations haha.

4. Pop on a Christmas CD/play some Christmas tunesss

Because Christmas songs are life.

My ultimate fave is WHAM! Last Christmas, classic. We have a spotify playlist that is Christmas themed but we also have the ‘NOW! That’s what I call Christmas CD, unfortunatly this year I am yet to find it, sadface 😦

and finally…

5. Do some present wrapping

The ultimate Christmas activity, cosied up in front of a film, hot chocolate by your side and a festive array of wrapping paper, ribbon and bows and you are certainly in for a festive afternoon. I have found a couple of different sets of ribbons etc and have again gone for the traditional colour scheme of red, gold and green. I also have some pretty white and gold sets too.

The paper you see above is so cute and is covered in traditional Christmas toy soldiers, gingerbread men, snowmen and candy canes, adorable. I bought this one to wrap the children’s presents with.

I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with Ikea’s Christmas wrapping selection, this is where the bulk of mine is from (random I know!) but great and inexpensive too.

I will be doing another post later in Blogmas with some great ways to feel festive when you are out and about!

 

I hope this helps make you feel festive and ready to get your jolly on!

Ho, Ho, Ho!

 

Until next time,

Roseanne 🙂

My Tanya Burr advent calendar: Blogmas day 10

Hi guys!

Today’s another look into my Tanya Burr advent calender.

Let’s see what’s inside…

Behind the next window was another lovely eyeliner. This one is also sparkly bit is a silver glitter liner.

As I said previously I don’t have many and these glitter ones are much easier to apply. I love that I have both gold and silver glitter now, great for completing a casual eye look or for glitzing up a Christmas party make up look.

These are great for eyeliner novices as you can’t really tell if you’ve applied it 100% nearly or not because it is just glitter in a clear fluid . It looks really pretty and I can’t wait to use this one too.

 🎄15 DAYS TO GO!! 🎄

 It’s coming around so quickly!!

Until next time,

Roseanne 🙂

My Tanya Burr advent calendar: Blogmas day 8

Hi guys!

So, its time to have a look behind another window of my Tanya Burr advent calendar.

Let’s take a look…

Today’s little gift was a lovely little lipgloss.

This lip gloss is called ‘Pink fondant’ and is a lovely pinky nude. It reminds me of Tanya’s ‘Pink cocoa’ lipstick but in lip gloss form, if you’ve tried ‘Pink cocoa’ you’ll know how pretty the shade is.

This gloss is a perfect everyday nude with a lovely pinky tone to it. It would also be great to accompany a smokey eye make up look for the evening.

Like the other gloss, it glides on beautifully, looks lovely on and isn’t at all sticky. For a lip gloss it is surprisingly  long lasting too.

I am really pleased with this and am sure this is going to be a new staple for my make up collection.

Seeya tomorrow!

17 days to go!

Until next time,

Roseanne 🙂

Christmas market fun! ✨🎅🎆 Blogmas day 7

Hi guys!

At the weekend we thought that we would head to a local Christmas market. I love doing things like this and having little days out during the lead up to Christmas, they make you feel so festive!!

Me and Tim headed there with my sister Charlotte and our niece Evie-Mae. We arrived with three hours to spare before the lights got turned on so we took a little look around the market.

They had a few little stalls and obviously the town shops were open too so we also had a browse in some of those, for some Christmas decorations, and bits and bobs.

I picked up a few decorations because you can’t ever have too many can you!!??

It was quite chilly in the little seaside town so we headed for a refreshment break in Greggs.

A pastry or two, a cuppa and a biscuit later and we were ready to head back out.

 

The lights came on at five o clock. We were all wrapped up warm as we watched them being turned on and they had a few little fireworks too.

It looked really festive and the tree had lovely multi coloured lights on it. I really liked the lights as they were all quite colourful in yellows, reds and greens! The ones in our hometown have been made a bit more ‘up market’ and are white and gold, and although they are very pretty (& some look like giant snitches!!) I do love, what I would call, a traditional light display.

A fun, festive day out to kick off December!

Until next time,

Roseanne 🙂

My Tanya Burr advent calendar: Blogmas day 6 🔔

Hi guys!

Today is day 6 of Blogmas (already!!!) Only 19 days to go until Christmas day.

 

Here is what’s behind window number five of my Tanya Burr beauty advent calender…

A lovely glittery and super sparkly nail varnish.

This polish is called ‘Glitter rain’ and is a lovely silver glitter.

The glitter is great as it adds a festive, party sparkle to your nails (great for those Christmas parties) But is a bit different from the usual gold glitter.

Great for creating a festive, frosty look! ❄

The glitter is fine with larger bits of glitter too which is great on it’s own for a simple touch of sparkle but its also great over other colours or to add a accent nail.

I hope you enjoyed this little peek into my advent calender.

Who else is loving having a little choc in the morning btw!?! LOVE IT.

Until next time,

Roseanne 🙂

Putting up the tree 🎄 Blogmas day 5 🌟 

So, this is of course the start of the festive decorating period, the main feature of many a room, all over the world, for the next month or so.

The humble Christmas tree makes any lounge cosy  and fun,  the theme for our tree is red, gold and green, very traditional and classic.

Lets take a look!

1. Lights

We have warm yellow lights for the tree.

2. Tinsel

Red and gold tinsel alternating throughout the tree adds a touch of sparkle.

3. Baubles

Green & Gold
Red baubles
Sparkly, gold pine cones

We added the plain baubles first. We have a mix of sizes, shiny, matte & frosted baubles in our colour scheme of red, gold and green.

4. Decorations

Once the plain baubles are on we added our personalised and hand picked decos. There are a few new ones, I like to pick up one or two each year in the lead up to the festive season. My mum sometimes gets me a decoration too.

5. The star on top

We have a matte red star that tops our tree. It came in the set my mum originally bought us, when we moved out, along with the plain baubles. Tim did the honours.

 

& here’s the final tree 🎄👌

I hope you enjoyed this little look at our tree 🙂

Until next time,

My Tanya Burr advent calendar: Blogmas day 4 🎄

Hi guys!

Day four of Blogmas is here! and today is another look inside my Tanya Burr ‘Tanya’s treats’ advent calendar.

I have combined two windows today in order to make sure that I open them in Blogmas and you guys can see what I’ve got. Basically I couldn’t wait to open it so I opened one on the first and if I do it every other day the last window would be opened on Christmas day, one day too late!

So, lets take a look inside…

So, behind window number two of my advent calendar was a lovely lipgloss.

 

 

The lipgloss is a lovely red colour with a berry tone to it. Its called ‘Cranberry melt’.

I don’t usually wear lipgloss but I’m definatly going to be trying this out over the festive period as its a great colour for the season. The gloss glides on really nicely, the colour is nice and bright but not too in your face and it isn’t really uncomfortable and sticky on your lips.

Very wearable for everyday or great for a Christmas party look!

Behind window number three of my advent calendar was a super sparkly eye liner.

The eyeliner is gold and glittery, great for adding a sparkle to the eyes. For a eyeliner novice such as myself this was very easy to apply.

 

21 days to go!

 

Until next time,

Roseanne 🙂
