Blogmas Day Four: Our Work Christmas Party 🥂

21 Days to go!

On Friday we had our work Christmas party.

We booked this during the last school year so that we had something to look forward to!!

And it was a great night!

The theme of the evening was ‘Great Gatsby’ so they had lots of Flapper, dancing performers, a Singer, Acrobats and Fire Eaters.

They performed inbetween the different course.

The three course meal was really delicious. I wasn’t keen on the desserts but my Starter and Main were great.

My Starter.

This buttermilk chicken was delicious. It came with mini tortillas and homemade coleslaw.

My main course was the Vegetarian Wellington.

The Vegetarian Wellington was so tasty. It had layers of Veleriac, Sweet Potato, Mushroom and Pepper in a golden pastry case. The veggies (especially the carrots) and potatoes were great too.

We had such a fun night!

Great friends, good food, drinks, pretend roulette, shots… dancing, more shots 🤣😬🥂

Until Next Time,

Roseanne 🙂

Blogmas Day Fourteen: My Harry Potter Christmas tree ⚡🎄

So, a couple of years ago I had a Harry Potter themed tree, but then disaster struck and my second tree broke (sad times)

This year, my twin sister who also loves Harry Potter, created a Harry Potter themed tree and it made me reallllly want one again..

Plus, we went to the HP tour and they had so many Christmas decorations that injust couldn’t resist. See yesterdays post for the ones I picked up.

I used a plain 6ft tree, and added some plain/glittery red baubles as a base (I’m going for a Gryffindor theme, Obv.)

I purchased some Gryffindor ribbon at the HP tour and I made this onto bows… I popped them on first.

Then I added my Harry Potter baubles that I already owned, and my new ones from the tour (see yesterdays post)

I had house baubles of the 4 house colours, 4 clear house baubles filled with gold glitter, purchased this year and a large glittery Hogwarts Crest bauble that my mum got me a few years ago.

These all came from Primark.

Finally, I added a few little extras that I have in my collection, some HP glasses, a couple of tickets for the Knight Bus and the Hogwarts Express, as well as a few little characters (Can you spot Ron & Dobby?!)

All in all, I’m really happy with how it came out.

And now our room looks super festive too 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Until Next Time,

Roseanne 🙂

Blogmas 2019 Day Eight: Decorating the Christmas tree 🎄

Heres to a very important Christmas tradition, the start of the festive season…

… putting up your tree!

Here is ours this year.

Here are my little helpers! They loved helping me decorate the tree.

& of course we needed snacks to keep us going during the decorating process.

I put our tree up quite early this year (in the middle of November, dont hate me!!) I love it.

I love our red, gold and green themed tree and each year I buy a new bauble. This year I got us a few which will feature in another of my Blogmas posts (Affordable Christmas decs)

I got ua a cute ‘2019’ bauble too.

Tell me about your tree? 🎄

Ho Ho Ho

Zoella & Colour Pop collab Make up range 💄

I’ve really enjoyed Zoe Suggs, ‘Zoella beauty’ ranges for a while now and I got into watching YouTube when I started watching some of her earlier sit down videos, many of which were make up tutorials, so when I saw that she was finally doing a make up collaboration I couldn’t wait to try out some of the pieces.

I love the cute packaging and brunch theme to the whole collection.

Breakfast food is the best food after all!

I chose some of the pieces that I knew I would get a lot of use out of as I haven’t tried any Colour Pop products before so I don’t know what they are like.

I went for the Blusher, Highlighter & one of the liquid eye shadows.

Pressed powder blush ‘Soulmate’

A lovely pink blush.

Pressed powder highlighter ‘Swipe right’

A lovely creamy, gold highlight.

Creme supernova liquid eyeshadow ‘Bellini’

A lovely pinky champagne tone.

They look so pretty on and I have already been using (& loving!) them loads.

I can’t wait for an occasion to wear the eye shadow as it is so pretty. I’m not an every day eyeshadow kind of girl so I’ll be saving this for an occasion.

The highlighter and blusher, on the other hand will, be used daily and are a great addition to an every day make up bag (great staying power, they look good all day)

I also found the prices to be really reasonable too which is great 👍🏻

Blusher & Highlighter ($8/£6) each

Eyeshadow ($7/£5.30) each

Have you tried any of the collection?

Thoughts?!?

Until next time,

Roseanne 🙂
