top six favourite blog posts in December

Hope you all had a brill Christmas, i always get a bit sad when it's all over. I spent this year with family, eating way too many mince pies and watching christmas telly. Santa bought me lots of lovely things, hope you got what you wanted!

If your not familiar with this sort of post (read my last one here) the idea behind it is i show you some of my favourite blogs posts from the past month in the hope you discover some new bloggers and get some inspiration. I don't think we share the blogs we love enough, I'm going to try and make this a regular thing!

1. As soon as I saw this post, i knew i had to share it with you. In this post Geneva talks about the concept of re-gifting (which i'm cool with) and write her top tips on how to do it successfully!
2. I've been a fan of Sarah's blog for a while now, it was her amazing illustrations that first caught my eye. She mainly blogs about fashion and her blog post are just beautiful to look at! Her photo's look editorial - you must check her out.
3. For me Adrienne is THE queen of reviews. Her reviews are always so detailed, she swatches everthing, includes a rating of each product and her photographs are so unique. I have no idea how she has time to keep writing all her brilliant posts! I loved reading this review of the Kardashion sister's new make up collection 'Khroma' 
4. I wanted to make a few DIY presents this year & this one Meg posted is just genius.  Make sure you check out her gift guides too, some really unusual presents on there!
5. Another great DIY gift idea. This Christmas Tree Brownie gift is super easy to make. Handy if you need to do any last minute gifts!
6. My current favourite fashion blog, Lydia puts together pieces that i would never think to. if you've not heard of her - your missing out. Check out Lydia's blog here.

What do you think of my favourite picks?

Top 6 favourite blog posts in October

If there's anything i love more than writing my blog, it's reading blogs. Saying that, i haven't posted in a while now, you need to be in the right mood & have something to say! I love coming home, putting the kettle on & catching up with my favourite bloggers. I thought it would be a good idea to share with you some of my favourite posts from last month. Hopefully you'll discover some new bloggers & maybe get some inspiration for what to write about :) I've never done this before so let me know what you think....

1. My easy, soft & bouncy curl tutorial - This Chicks Got Style
I've been wearing my hair this way lately & it's a nice change! If you like Rosie Huntington-whitelyesque hair you'll probably like this easy step by step tutorial.
2. Collection Illuminating Touch Concealer vs YSL Touche Eclat - Non Optional 
I love a high end dupe & i've been wanting to try out touche eclat for agesss! So I was excited to see if Nicola had discovered a drugstore dupe. I wont tell you if she found a good one, you'll have to check out the review ;) I did buy one of them after reading it...
3. Glowing Skin Makeup Tutorial - Gh0stparties
I always envied Kate's glowy make up look so couldn't wait to see what her secrets were! I've added a few make up products to my wishlist after watching her tutorial & will be giving this look a go.
4. DIY Christmas - Make Your Own Wrapping Paper - JetleyMess
SO excited for christmas! Loved reading Jade's cute tutorial on how to make your own wrapping paper. I've bought all the bits and bobs I need & will be attempting to make my own tonight!
5. Beauty Spends in September - Ramblings of a Beauty Bird
I think this is such a great idea for a blog post to actually write down how much money you've spent on beauty products that month. I'm a bit reluctant to do this but love having a nosey & what people have been buying!
6. Vintage Mixed Prints - Style Peaches
I actually love this girls style & i love that you never see her face! She really deserves more followers so go check her out :)
