What I got for christmas 2015

Let me start by saying I truly believe the best part of christmas is the time spent with family, and the build up to christmas, the festivities, lights decoration, food and baking. Presents are a tiny added bonus and if I had to pick presents or an extra sparkly merry day off with my family, the second option would win hands down. HOWEVER, I do LOVE routing through all the blogs I follow after christmas (I'm so nosy) I love finding out what goodies everyone got for christmas, so as every sharing blogger starts - this is not a brag - this is just me sharing my gifts with you! Every year I am blown away by how well Dan and my mum know me - I'm always left gobsmacked and feeling like I should have brought everyone more!

My main gifts from my mumma and stepdad! I've been wearing these gold orb earrings non stop since the day I got them, I'm planning on saving this statement clutch for special evenings and occasionally my iPad might grace its presence.

My two half sisters and I all got character slippers for christmas, Dan & I couldn't stop laughing at my unicorn pair, Dan also treated me this new Calvin Klein set I already have the white and wear it all the time, also these beautiful light grey / blue superstars

I think my Lush obsession has became very apparent this year! I have enough bath bombs to last me the year! 

Another one of my main presents from my mum was the happiness planner! so excited to start this 

Two new scents! I've lusted after the Jo Malone perfume forever, this got a few gasps my side of the family when I opened this on christmas day

I don't remember a year I didn't get lucky and receive the soap and glory set, these are the ultimate in TLC gifts, My main present from my nan was the Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G lipstick trio! they are so tiny and cute, my cousins in wales always send me the best mac products!

I am so excited to make more smoothies with my new smoothie maker! Dan's mum and dad got me the yankee candle baby powder candle, it smells devine

And finally the sweet treats I should not be indulging in!
What did you get for christmas this year?

Tales from the earth : a life filled with adventure bangle

Tales from the earth - a life filled with adventure bangle £45

A week back the lovely people from Tales of the Earth got in touch with me and asked me if I would like to review one of their bangles. Having never heard of their brand before I accepted and was curious to see what I would receive. I couldn't believe my eyes when the bangle arrived. Gorgeous, luxurious packaging with colours that almost reminded me of Tiffany. However this brand is a little more down to earth, made in England and a brand that's a little less well known and more personal. With Christmas just around the corner I truly believe Tales of the earth have the perfect gift with these little beauties. They truly showcase luxury and thoughtfulness in a simplistic stylish fashion. Each bangle is packaged in its own box and pouch and has a small message about the quoted bangle you have chose. I love that the quote is inside the bangle, out of sight, keeping the message really personal to you. I picked the 'a life filled with adventure' bangle because with all the movement in my job right now, and all my plans for the future I really felt this would be perfect to keep close to me right now. The bangle itself is simplistic and chic, and obviously would be really easy to wear with pretty much any outfit you have in mind. The only thing I would say is the bangle is on the smaller side, so make sure you check the measurements before you order. I've also got my eye on the busy bee necklace now, I've been really pleasantly surprised by this brand and would definitely consider buying from them in the future.

NOTE: This is quite a long post! feel free to click off if this is'nt your kind of thing!
