A Christmas Week in Photographs #3

Baking  // Baking  //  Baking

Cheeky pre-christmas shopping //  Nail art #fail // Cosy winter clothes

Cooking programmes // Healthy eating // Winning!

This  final week before Christmas for me has been about shopping, cooking programmes, baking and festive nails! Firstly, this week I made some shortbread - gingerbread, maple syrup and basil flavour. The gingerbread and maple syrup ones went down quickly but I think savoury shortbread is a bit too futuristic for everyone else but I liked them. The shortbread didn't take long to make at all but the cupcake tree that I made took a bit longer than I thought it would! I have been baking and cooking a lot as I have been watching a lot of cooking programmes - in particular 'Nigelissima' and Nigella christmas - gotta love Nigella! I have also been buying some things in the pre-christma sales in H&M, Harrods and I have bought some bits and pieces in Primark today - although it was very busy so I didn't see everything that I wanted (youtube primark hauls show some of the best bits from Primark but I can never find them in store!). I have also been painting my nails a lot this week with festive nail art (link here) and my second attempt at galaxy nails #fail! Although I did get some good news this week, I won a competition on the review site that I write on and I won a mug and some chocolates!

A Christmas Week In Photographs #1

Mine & my sisters hair bows -  Thorntons hot chocolate -  Another coffee bites the dust

Rain rain go away -  Fog fog go away -  My attempt at galaxy nails #Fail

I know this post is a bit late as I have had other posts lined up for this week but here it is, my photographs for the first week of december. Anyway, this week has been a bit stressful as I had an assignment deadline (a 2000 word essay) and I have another one on wednesday but then I can relax a bit before the chaos of next year and my dissertation! This week has also been filled with hot chocolate and coffee, I can't seem to get enough of them - coffee to keep me awake and hot chocolate to relax and warm up. Especially as the weather in England has been horrible, rain, cold, (lots of) fog and some snow too. Hair bows and experimenting with nail designs have also been on the agenda this week with my first attempt at hair bows with my sister and my first attempt at galaxy nails...it didn't go well! 

I hope everyone had a great week and thank you to all of my new followers! x
