My Top Festive Films To Get You Ready For Christmas



Hullo!

It's still November but I'm already watching Christmas Movies. I have so many I love so I'm going to talk about a few that will definitely put you in the mood for Christmas if you're feeling rather Scrooge-ish! 

First up is Home Alone.

A classic that never fails to please. My brother and I can literally quote it word for word when we watch it now because we've seen it so many times! 



Next is ELF :-)

You can't go wrong with a Will Farrell movie! 


I adore this film, it's centered around "Buddy The Elf" a human adopted by elves, who decides to find his biological father who to his horror happens to be on the Naughty List!!!



The Grinch 

I could literally watch this movie all year round and not care if my family thought I was insane! Jim Carrey is amazing in this film. If you haven't seen it yet then make sure you do this Christmas!


I also suggest reading the book, young and old are able to appreciate the genius that is Dr Seuss :-) 


The Muppets Christmas Carol



Another film that's part of my families Christmas traditions! 

My brother and I make sure to sit down and watch this one at least once in the month of December...shhhh...don't tell him but I may have already watched it once or twice already this year!

So those are my top Christmas movie picks that are definitely going to get you ready for the big day 
:-) 

What's your favourite Christmas Movie?

My Top 5 Christmas Movies

Hi Lovely People!

I'm sitting on the sofa, with a cup of hot chocolate and Elf is on the television!

 It's turning out to be a great Sunday afternoon.

 I've been thinking about doing this post for a few weeks now so I suppose this is the perfect time!

These are just some of the movies I make sure to watch in the festive season :-) 

1) The Muppet Christmas Carol

My Brother and I watch this movie together every year, It's been a favourite since I was a kid. 

It's a great version of the classic Christmas Carol. 

If you haven't seen it yet then your really missing out! 


2) The Grinch

Probably my favourite Jim Carrey movie.
 He's amazing in it. I'm pretty sure I know most of the words to this movie I've watched it so many time :-) 

3) Elf

I went to see this in the cinema when it came out and I'm telling you not a single person in the theatre wasn't smiling when they walked out. It such a funny, festive and unique movie.  

4) The Santa Clause

Tim Allen was a house hold name when I was younger, I remember watching Home Improvement every night.  I love this Christmas movie, they made a few sequels but to me this was the best :-) 


5) The Nightmare Before Christmas

I like to watch this at least twice a year, Halloween and Christmas. It's a great movie with lots of wonderful songs to sing along to :-) 


There where a few more movies I could include like Home Alone, The Family Stone and White Christmas but then this post could go on forever.

What is your favourite Christmas Movie?

Recent Collective Haul - Why I love TK Maxx Part 2


Hey Lovely Ladies :-)

I haven't done a haul in a while so I thought I would show you what I've bought this last month. 

Nails Inc St James - Glamour Magazine - Free
Glade Candle - Winter Berries - £2 
Garnier Olia Hair Dye - Intense Red - Supurdrug - £6.99
MUA - Undressed Palette - Superdrug - £4
Vera Wang - Princess Night 50ml - TK Maxx - £24.99


I picked up the Nails Inc polish but then realized that I have something very similar to it so I will be giving it to my best friend because she LOVES red nail polishes. I love when magazines give away free goodies. Especially when the magazine is only £2! 

I picked up the Glade Candle in Spar for just £2. I don't know if it was on offer or not but for £2 I'll be picking up a few more of these it smells gorgeous!

I really needed to re-dye my hair this month. My roots were looking awful. I've also been trying really hard to dye over the black in my hair. I tried the hair stripper but it didn't work very well and smelt so bad *rotten eggs!* that I don't want to try it again. I've told my friends to shoot me if I ever contemplate dying my hair black again because I always end up changing my mind a month later! 

I finally caved and bought the Undressed palette from MUA. Well in actual fact I bought one for my auntie and one for a friend for Christmas and I just happened to know that they were on a 3 for 2 offer. Mwhahahaha! I can't wait to review and compare this to my Naked palette :-) 

This must be the best purchase this month...you all know I love a good deal and I couldn't believe it when I found the new Vera Wang perfume in  TK Maxx. 50ml for just £24.99! Just after I bought it we stopped in Boots and they wanted £45 for it so I felt so lucky! I've been wanting to try a Vera Wang perfume for ages :-) It's gorgeous and i'll be reviewing it soon! 

One thing that I picked up yesterday that isn't photographed is The Grinch DVD......I've loved this movie since it came out...I made my mam take me to see it three times! It's been recorded on my Sky box since last Christmas so when I saw it in Matalan for £2.99 I knew I had to pick it up :-) 


So that's my haul, I'm off to watch I'm A Celeb :-) 

Hope your all enjoying your weekend!
