Christmas Tag

Thanks to Lisa from Cuddles and Contouring who tagged me in this Christmas themed post, there's no way I'd say no to writing about one of my favourite times of the year!


1. What's your favourite Christmas movie?

My favourite Christmas movie is without a doubt Home Alone 2! But more recently me and my Mam have been loving those made for TV movies that are on the shitty channels you get with your Sky box. They're so cheesy but we can't resist watching them!



2. Do you open your presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day?

Sorry now.....who in their right mind opens presents on Christmas Eve (except for Christmas Eve pj's of course)?! We always open our presents first thing Christmas morning! When we were younger we'd be up at the crack of dawn begging my parents to let us open them, but now we're that bit older we give ourselves a bit of a lie in!

3. Do you have a favourite Christmas memory?

I don't have one memory that sticks out, but the best memories I have all involve going to my nana's on Christmas night. I have quite a big family, with a lot of cousins and on Christmas night all the aunties, uncles and cousins would go to my nana's house, get more presents, play with each other toys and eat our weight in chocolate!


4. Favourite Christmas Food

Mushy peas!! And the best part is not many people like them so I get loads! Same goes for the strawberry sweets in the tin of Roses, they always get left for me!

5. Favourite Christmas Gift

Oooooh this is a tough one!!! I remember nearly wetting myself with excitement when I got Super Nail Station, and that's going back about 17-18 years. As with most presents it was soon forgotten about, and I got in shit off my Mam when she told me the lengths she had to go through to get it - and subsequently the truth about Santa :(

6. Favourite Christmas Scent

For the past few years my Mam has always bought myself and my sister Chanel Chance perfume, so after we'd have our breakfast and were dressed up in our Christmas gear my sister and I would drench ourselves in our new perfume! The house would smell like it for days! 


7. Have you any Christmas Eve traditions.

For a long, long time my Christmas Eve tradition was working in retail from 8am-5pm and then going home absolutely shattered! Things have changed in recent years though, and now Christmas Eve involves a family dinner in our favourite restaurant followed by drinks with my friends in the pub.



8. What tops your tree?

Nothing actually tops my tree, we have quite a big tree and here is literally no room between the top of the tree and the ceiling!



9. As a kid what was the one extravagant gift you asked for but never got?

I have to say Santa was always very good to me, I always got what I asked for :) But I also knew too well not to ask for anything extravagant ;)

10. What's the best part of Christmas for you?

The best part of Christmas for me is the time I get off work. It gives me and my family a great chance to spend time together, even if it is just sitting on the sofa watching movies. 





So there you have it, my Christmas tag :) And it wouldn't be a tag if I didn't tag a few other bloggers...

My Black Friday Top Picks

Image
In a perfect world I'd have all the money and I'd be able to buy all the things (and there'd be no such thing as calories). Unfortunately that's not the case, but if it was this is what I'd be spending my money on, this Black Friday. Body Blur 50% off This fake tan, which gives the illusion of flawless skin, is loved by Pippa O'Connor and Waxperts Ellen and I just have to have it!!!  As fake tans go it's pretty pricey but today you can get it for half price on Simply Foxy Missguided 50% off I'll be honest I'm not a huge fan of Missguided. But I've had my eye on these shoes for the longest time! The straps and studs make them quite trendy, very Valentino-esque, while the nude colour makes them wearable all year round. Oasis Dress 20% off (code HAPPY20) I saw this dress on a mannequin in Oasis and I swear to God, angels were singing down onto it as I stared. It is DIVINE!! It's perfect Christmas party dress that you can wear over and over aga

Make Up by Polish Hand & Foot Spa

Image
As you may have seen from my millions of pictures on Facebook & Instagram , I got my make up done! This is so exciting for me because it's something I never do! If I'm going to a salon it's usually for nails or a blow dry, I just never think to get my make up done! And why wouldn't I? I do my own make up decent enough.....but let's be honest it's never anything special. So I was only delighted when I was given the opportunity to have someone else do it for me! I was invited to Polish Hand & Foot Spa to get my make up done yesterday evening, and it was such a lovely treat!! First of all Polish Spa on Fitzwilliam Street, Dublin is a very chic salon run by Leanne and Emma. For me (and probably most other people) the interior of a salon really adds to the experience and Polish Spa did not disappoint. It was a really clean and fresh salon with pretty blue wallpaper and lovely white and grey antique furniture. Leanne Nugent the owner of Polish Spa and aka F
