Post Christmas

I am sad to say that Christmas Day has been and gone but that's not to say that Christmas is over....Oh No.

To me Christmas truly begins on Christmas day and doesn't really end until the New Year or when everyone returns to Work, or in my case College..well I guess that's why it's called the 'The Twelve days of Christmas' 

What does Christmas truly mean to you?

When I was younger, Christmas was basically all about presents, I am not even going to Lie, I was really spoilt! 

But now I basically look at it as time to have an excuse to sit inside, rest, and procrastinate (that is true).

No I haven't been a lazy slob during the holidays, I have worked quite a lot and have been around seeing family and friends but at the same time I have been catching up on a few things that I like doing: Watching films, reading and browsing Tumblr and Pinterest. 

It's the best time of year to appreciate all the small things: family, friends and your life. We're not all that lucky. 

Let me just leave you with one thing.

Festive Room Tour

Hello there fellow festive people...

As it's Christmas and all that...I thought I would decorate my room (as like every year) in a festive theme to get me feeling all cosy and Christmasy for the special day (2 more sleeps).

I am probably one of the most festive people in my family...(this year I decorated the main household tree on my own!)...so I always like decorating my room extra special just for my own pleasure :)

So here it is!

FESTIVE ROOM TOUR 2013

My tree is about a metre tall and perfectly fits between my dresser and piano (along with an Olly Murs wallpaper behind). I have decorated my tree using colourful tree lights and my pink set of baubles, finished with a small fairy on top. Simple yet lovely.

Here you can see one of the pink baubles which is on my tree. This one has silver glitter snowflakes on, whereas others are transparent or have writing on. 

On the opposite wall is my 'Wall of posters'. Here I have some blue fairy lights draped across, to give it an authentic yet cosy feel to my room. These battery powered lights are from Matalan and were around £5.

Now for my piano, my favourite part of my room. On it I have this really pretty 'Paper cut Candle holder' that I received as a gift. I currently have my 'Salted caramel Yankee Candle tea lights' in it which I also received as a gift.

This is a tag from a present from one of my friends which was really cute so I stuck it on my box of nail varnishes. 

Here are my collection of Yankee candles. All my favourites minus one. I have really loved using these this winter.

I got this 'Santa Candle Jar' from Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park, London this year when I went. I haven't yet lit it but I am sure I will do over the holidays. I just really liked it and it fits in well with the rest of my decorations.

Here is yet another candle which I LOVE. I recently received it as a gift and have only just started using it. The whole jar is so cute and I love the scent, not too pungent but Christmasy! 

And last but not least!...my Christmas scented potpourri. I got given this a few years ago as a present and I love it so so so so so much. The quote, the whole decoration and smell is just gorgeous. One of my favourite decorations by far. 

So there we have it!, I hope I have managed to inspire you perhaps with some Christmas decoration ideas (it may be too let but oh well).

And I hope I you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
