Blogmas 2019: Day Six Decoration shopping 🎄

One shop that is doing amazing Christmas decorations this year is Matalan.

They have a great mix of traditional and more modern decorations.

They also have a real mix of the types of decorations that they sell, from small tree decorations, tinsel, wreaths, tall standing nutcrackers, centrepieces, table clothes, sacks, stockings and so much more!

It’s all really affordable too.

I’ll try and include as much info about prices etc as I can 👍🏻

Let’s take a look!

I was literally in Christmas heaven browsing the aisles!!

Christmas throws, From £6

These look super cosy ❤

They had a selection of different themed throws from the traditional Farisle patterned ones as well as tartan ones, reindeer and christmas tree patterned ones and block coloured ones, in various Christmas colours.

Assorted coloured Christmas Stockings & Christmas sacks (Sacks £10)

These luxurious lettered sacks and stockings are really lovely.

Santa and Snowman stockings and sacks

I love these traditional stockings and sacks.

Super cute and great for traditionalists a kids a like!

Pine cone Christmas wreaths. £15

These are SO pretty.

They had circular red pine cone wreaths and White heart shaped pine cone wreaths. They also did feather wreaths.

Assorted colour tinsel

Because let’s be honest, theres not alot that’s more christmassy than row upon row of tinsel!!! 🌟

Assorted tree decorations.

These were sectioned off by colour/style, so you’d definatly be able to find something to fit your style/colour or theme.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this little look into Matalans Christmas offerings.

I love Christmas decoration shopping SO MUCH!!!

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,

Rockin around the Christmas tree 🎄Blogmas day 4

For day 4 of Blogmas I thought that I would show you my Christmas decorations in our flat & our tree.

I know not everyone will agree with this but I put my tree and decorations  up on November 25th, ready for just over a month of festive cheer.

First up, the tree 🎄 

Yes we have a fake tree but this malts enough as it is, I don’t know people cope with a real tree with pines!!!  

We have yellow Fairy lights on our tree with a red, gold & green theme for the decorations. Red & gold tinsel and red, gold & green baubles with other assorted decos and a red star for on top of the tree. 

I always put the lights on first, followed by the bead string & tinsel, then the baubles, decorations & the star goes kn top last.

Our personalised Christmas sacks go next to the tree ready to be filled 🎁

i do love Christmas so I don’t stop with a decorated tree…

The lounge has been nicknamed ‘The grotto’ by Tim around this time of year because I am a bit OTT but I love it!

Lovely & festive 🌟

I love coming home and relaxing with the Christmas lights on, getting all cosy. All the lights look awesome at night time too, sometimes I just put them on instead of the main lights 

DAY 4 of my beauty advent calender…

Today I got the Revolution strobing balm.

This one looks like shade ‘Hypnotic’. This is an illuminating balm for a neutral looking highlight to help sculpt the face.

It is a creme formula and apparently you can use this wet or dry depending on the intensity that you are going for.

I used the balm that I got in my calender yesterday as a primer and my make up did look really good all day while we were busy in London shopping, rushing around so this will be a nice little addition to my collection maybe saving it for a night out as I don’t worry too much when I’m just at work.

What’s your favourite Christmas decoration? lights? tinsel? Wreaths?
