100 Days of Happiness, 91-100

Not only does today mark the 100th Day of my 100 Day Resolutions, but it also marks the completion and success of Blogmas and my final post of 2014! A couple of days ago, I found my notepad containing notes about participating in Blogtober and what I wanted to do for me 100 Day Resolutions and it feels like I only wrote it one month ago, not 100 days ago! I remember sitting on the sofa in the conservatory, curled up under my blanket while having a brainstorm. And now, here we are on the other side of it.

Is there anything out there to make time slow-down?! Anyways, here is my final Happy Days post.

Blogmas 2014 Round Up

After my 31st post of the month goes up tomorrow, I will have completed Blogmas 2014! My first official Blogmas challenge and success and my second successful attempt at blogging every day for a month (my first attempt was October of this year).

Updating My Bucket List

I was looking through my Bucket List earlier and I realised that I had crossed off some of my aspirations without realising I had done so, so I thought I would write a post detailing a little more about some of the things I have accomplished over the past couple of months in terms of my Bucket List.

Body Shop Haul December 2014

At the very start of this month, my boyfriend and I took a trip to the Body Shop. He works in the same shopping centre as our local Body Shop branch so as a result, he, along with his family and friends, were treated to 50% discount from the store for a few days only. I knew I had to take advantage of this amazing offer so I dragged him there and wandered around the store for over an hour while I found the perfect items.

Christmas 2014

Christmas is almost over; the turkey is gone, the bins are full of wrapping paper and the family is sleeping away the meat sweats. This Christmas has been a good, family-orientated Christmas for me so I thought it would be nice to share a few of the photos we took yesterday to celebrate our lives, health and love.

Merry Christmas!

I just wanted to say I hope all of you lovely readers have a magical, fantastic, wonderful Christmas! I know you all deserve it!

My Favourite Christmas Traditions

With Christmas literally just around the corner, I have been thinking about traditions that every family has around this time of year. It always used to interest me that one of my friends opened his presents after lunch, as my family always used to open them pretty much first thing in the morning, and I think because of that, other people's traditions really entertain me so I thought I would share mine.

1. Spending Christmas at my grandparents' house.

2. Wrapping presents while watching Beauty and the Beast: the Enchanted Christmas (I feel like I have mentioned that film too many times over the last few weeks!)

3. Making mince pies on Christmas Eve (though admittedly I have skipped this for the past two years)

4. Getting nice and dressed up for the photo opportunities.

5. Opening presents as early as my family will allow.

6. Receiving Guylian seashells, a diary, a toothbrush and underwear every year.

7. Eating unhealthy amounts of junk food (primarily chocolate)

8. Eating too much Christmas Dinner to move afterwards.

9. Watching the soaps in the evening.

10. Feeling very overwhelmed with feelings of love and happiness.

They are my most prominent and traditional traditions surrounding the Christmas period that I really wish to continue experiencing throughout my life, while providing them for my future children too!

What are some of your favourite Christmas traditions?

The Christmas Tag!

With only two days to go until Christmas, I thought I would do a little post answering some typical Christmas questions. I am sure that there are many Christmas Tags out there but I have decided to create this one as a combination of some of the tags I have read this month and some of my own questions. Enjoy!

100 Happy Days, 81-90

So another 10 days has passed and, as much as I hate to admit it, I feel as though you should all know I am currently in bed with a massive cold. Yep, I managed to get ill less than a week before Christmas. I got ill about two days ago, primarily with a sore throat and a bit of a cough. However, that has now subsided into a humongous cold which consists of a runny nose and a stuffy head so I am sniffing a lot and inhaling tons of Vicks and I just can't seem to get relief! Are any of you feeling unwell or am I the only one? Regardless, I knew I couldn't abolish my Blogmas streak of posting for 21 days in a row so here is my 22nd post this month, my happy points for the past ten days.
