Christmas Wishlist Three - Asda

One      Two      Three      Four      Five      Six 

Wishlist Three is a little different because these are items to buy BEFORE Christmas rather than as a gift, they are also all from Asda. These six things would make great little Christmas treats for yourself or maybe even for a Secret Santa that is being gifted before Christmas Day. 

Asda have amazing home stuff and often great clothes as well. It is always my go to place for seasonal items especially and this year they are on to a winners! 

1. Christmas Sequin Bulldog T-Shirt

I love a good classic Christmas jumper but I get so hot in them and they make my boobs look weird so I was so pleasantly surprised to find that Asda had a huge selection of Christmas t-shirts! This one is the most adorable thing in the whole world. It has a huge dog on it! I actually didn't buy this one though because it has sequins sewn on the front which looks great but I feel like they always fall off in the washing and I can not deal with that sort of stress. 

2. Winky Santa Mug

This mug is a must have for all your festive hot drink needs. It is the cutest little Santa, so retro yet somehow not tacky despite the fact it is a huge head. I am very tempted to buy this!

3. Decorative Jar Candle in Golden Vanilla

I mainly like this for the gorgeous gold tree lid. This candle looks so much more expensive than it is and it smells so sweet and delicious. It would be a great option if you want to add a little Christmas touch to your home without being full on tinsel and giant Santas.

4. Yankee Candle in Merry Mint Chocolate

Asda do a range of Yankee Candles which are a little cheaper than your usual Yankee Candle and the jar is slightly less fancy looking. I don't love the way they look because they don't look as nice but they do smell equally as good, this festive scent specifically makes me want to eat it. It makes your whole house smell like After Eight mints which to me just screams Christmas!

5. Glass Dogs Decorations

As you probably know, I adore dogs so these glass baubles kill me. They are so bloody cute that I just need to have them! I'm also really loving glass figurine baubles this year, the old fashioned kind so these are really appealing to me. I think I will pick up a pack next time I see them in store!

6. Santa Tea Light Burner Set

In the same style as the mug this is a giant Santa head burner, you put the tea light in the underneath and add scented liquid to the top and it fills the room with the most amazing smells! I bought this yesterday because I simple couldn't resist and now my whole house smells like mince pies. 

Basically, let me loose in Asda and I will transform my surroundings into a magical winter wonderland and I suggest you do the same! 

Christmas Wishlist Two

One      Two      Three      Four      Five     Six

This wishlist is focusing on the mums, aunts or anyone who loves to cook! 

1. Cath Kidston Hedgehogs Apron

You can't go wrong with a lovely gift from Cath Kidston. The whole store is a wonderland of cute prints and homely items! I'm loving this hedgehog print apron, a pretty apron is a kitchen essential for any lover of cooking! 

2. Jamie Olivers Christmas Cookbook

Jamie Oliver is just one of those people that everyone loves. You really can't go wrong with one of his great cookbooks and a Christmas themed one is just perfect for the holiday season!

3. Hotel Chocolate Mini Chocolate Dipping Adventure

How bloody delicious does this look? You might have to fight against eating it before you gift it but if you do manage it, the recipient will be one happy bunny! It's only £20 but looks so much more expensive! 

4. Kikki.K 2017 Daily Diary

Everyone needs a diary for Christmas. I don't think I've ever had a Christmas and not received one! This particular one from Kikki.K is just beautiful and there are so many other items in the same design you could get to go with it. Wall planners and pens, you name it. 

5. Cath Kidston Merry Christmas Mug 

My boyfriend bought me this a few weeks ago to enjoy over the festive months up until Christmas and I really love it. Makes a great cup of coffee as well! Anyone receiving this would be a lucky lady! 

6. Niomi Smarts Eat Smart

If you're buying for a slightly younger chef, they might have heard of the popular youtuber, Niomi Smart. Her new cookbook focuses on healthy eating, is beautifully designed and the best gift! 

I hope these little gift ideas have been helpful in your Christmas shopping quest! 

Thanks for reading!

Christmas Wishlist One

One      Two      Three      Four      Five 

The other day I went into Sainsbury's to buy some super boring stuff, milk and bread. But what I actually found was the beginning of my Christmas Spirit 2016, I came across a furry Christmas tree hat that sings and dances and couldn't help but put it on and dance around the aisles singing "All I Want for Christmas" while my boyfriend laughed and filmed me. 

So with my new Christmas Spirit I thought it about time I began my Christmas Wishlists here on EverydayAmy!

This year is like every other in that I am mostly lusting after beauty items. Makeup especially. So where better to start!

These are my must have, ill cry if I don't get, gifts.

1. Makeup Obsession Palette

Makeup Obsession is a new thing that Boots are doing for a limited time over Christmas. They are create your own palettes with an astonishing array of products that can be popped in and moved about. Everything from eyeshadow to cream contour. After a crazy swatch sesh the other day, I have fallen in love with the highlighters because they are crazy pigmented and only £3 each! "Moon" is the most incredible shade and I must have it! Boots are also doing engraving so this little gem of a palette could have my name on it! 

2. Zoella Gingerbread and Bake My Day

I am a huge fan of Zoe and like to get at least one thing from every range she brings out. Usually the scents because they smell devine! This little set contains the new Christmas scent and a body cream. Its a must have. I also bloody love gingerbread.

3. Makeup Revolution Precision Pro Oval Face Brush

Instagram, youtube, you name it is literally crawling with oval makeup brushes and I am dying to try one! I think this one would be a great start because it is cheap but also is sure to be good quality like other brushes from the brand. Cant wait to smother my foundation on with this beauty!

4. Urban Decay Liquid Moondust Eyeshadow

I absolutely love the Moondust shadows, the duo tones slay me. When I heard that Urban Decay were bringing out liquid versions I just knew I needed at least one. I am temped to get the Solstice shade but I do already have that in the powder form so I think ill go for the pink/orange shade in Recharged.

5. Urban Decay Vice Lipstick Palette

Urban Decay lipsticks are my complete favourites but at £15 each I can afford to buy them all. You get 12 shades in this palette for the price of 2 full size lipsticks, I'm so excited to be able to try some crazy colours without splashing the cash on the single lipsticks. The packing is great and the shades are perfect, a good mix of everyday colours and a few more outrageous. I am most excited for this! It is available in two options, the one I have shown is Junkie.

The list of makeup id like for Christmas truly is endless but these are the ones that have my all excited and the boyfriend has been instructed to get! What beauty products are you desperate for this Christmas? 

It's Hard Being A Girl

Us girls have it hard in many ways but id like to talk about the little everyday things that make me want to scream and throw things! Ever had a melt down in a clothes store because everything is ugly, doesn't fit and is too expensive? Me too. Many times actually. 

These are trivial things but they make my bloody boil!

1. Perfume/deodorant Marks

You spend an hour getting ready, coordinate your eyeshadow to your top, paint your nails to match. You are all ready to go. Spray some perfume, ready to walk out the door when your boyfriend points out that you have a greasy body spray mark on your top and you definitely can't hide it. Start from square one.

2. Crusty Lipstick 

I hate wearing lipstick, sure it looks great for the first five minutes until you eat something, have a drink then its smudged across your face and flaking off onto your straw. So, you end up reapplying constantly and its the most annoying thing in the world! Your other option is to not eat or drink to make it last longer but you still can't win because instead you'll end up with the dreaded crusty inner lip. I give up. 

3. Periods In General

I'm sure there are some lucky girls who have perfectly timed periods and always know when they are coming but I am not one of them. Sometimes they come weeks early, sometimes weeks late and sometime they come out of the blue and leak through while your on holiday at Center Parcs and ruins the sheets that aren't even yours! 

4. Hair

I love my hair, its a safety blanket and an accessory but its also a pain in the arse. Wash it, dry it, style it, repeat. It takes forever! The one day you decide to leave the house wth wet hair, it dries to an afro and you end up looking homeless.

5. Makeup Skills

I spend hours watching youtube and surfing the web looking at my makeup products and techniques. Off to Wilkinsons to buy dog food and I will be able to do a whole face of flawless movie star makeup. But if I have something important on like a wedding and i end up with patchy foundation and mascara on my eyelids. 

6. Ironing

So many womens clothes are made from the wrinkliest fabric! Men can get away with ironing almost never but everything I own whether it has been hung up or not looks like a dirty snot rag. I hate ironing! 

7. Heels

I don't wear heels much, only for special occasions but sometimes its nice to wear a heeled boot for an easy day. Just visiting family or the cinema. But then you finish at the cinema and you end up on a trek round the local shopping centre in your sky high heels feeling like your feet are on fire. I didn't plan for this! Heels are not made for spontaneity!

8. "Thanks Love"

At work especially, I can't count the amount of men that call me love, babe, dear, young lady. It's so patronising! Ill scratch your eyes out mate!

9. Nails

Having freshly painted, shiny nails is the best. I feel so put together with my nails on point but without fail, a few hours later they will be chipped. I just can't take the stress. Plain nails will have to do.

10. Bras

Wearing a bra is uncomfortable. Under boob sweat is disgusting but inevitable and it is almost impossible to find one that fits perfectly. I hate everything about them but without them I would get knocked out when I walked and end up with tits down to my knees by the time in 40. Although, taking your bra off after a long day is the best feeling ever!

Im sure I could reel off a load more girl problems but id like to know yours? Or if your a boy, what annoys you?
