Christmas Phone Wallpapers!

Hello guys,
Sorry I didn't blog last week, I was having quite a bad day so didn't feel very creative and couldn't think of anything interesting to write so I decided just to do nothing at all. I didn't want to post something I wasn't proud of or happy with. Anyway this week I was on Pintrest and I saw some really cute Christmas wallpapers. I realised that because it's nearly December this would be a great time to share some of my favourite phone wallpapers for Christmas (although I've had mine since up October - Christmas is my favourite holiday by far!)

For me the days have been going quite quickly despite how busy I've been! I've had a much bigger workload and lines to learn for Hairspray! However this busyness excites me because the Christmas season is just around the corner. I really love this time of year despite the fact that it get's dark earlier, there's a lot of traffic and the weather is awful (unless it's snowing, which I hope it will!) because everybody just seems a little happier.

But anyway, here are my Top 5 Phone wallpapers for Christmas:


Christmas Wreath - Merry Christmas
In my opinion this will look better as a lock screen rather than home screen because of the words but I'm sure both will look lovely. Also it puts you in a Christmasy mood whenever you turn on your phone. Click the link to download from the website but also to take a look at the other designs because they are all so cute!





Purple Christmas Design
This is my current wallpaper because I love the colours used - it matches my phone case, and it's not too Christmasy - even though I love Christmas it isn't December yet! The designer has a version for computer desktops and iPad's too. This design is for iPhone but because it's a pattern it will work on any device.






String Lights Wallpaper
I saw this an immediately thought it was gorgeous! I love how the colours aren't traditional Christmas colours and it adds pops of pink to my wallpaper. This is what I will use next because it isn't extremely Christmasy so perfect for November. The other designs shared in the post I found this on (click the name) are really sweet too.






Christmas Gold Typography
I really like this wallpaper! The words are from one of my favourite Christmas songs and it's gold, with stars. Whenever I look at it I can almost hear Michael Bublé sing this in my head! Like the Christmas Wreath wallpaper at the top this is great for a lock screen. When December comes I will defiantly be using this..




Let it Snow
Again the words used in this wallpaper are ones from another of my favourite Christmas songs! I love the icy blue colour and all the pretty snowflakes surrounding the words. If you do use this and use the link in the title you have to scroll down quite a bit on the page to find this wallpaper but it is there I promise!




Earlier I mentioned Pintrest and wanted to say that I get a lot of inspiration from Pintrest and I would highly recommend making an account if you haven't already. If you want to, click here to take a look at my page.

Thank you for reading, let me know in the comments if you use any of these, have a suggestion for me to use or have a Pintrest account and I will take a look.

Little Lush Haul

Hi Guys,
So at the beginning of October the Lush Christmas range came out and I had a teacher training day so  I was very happy! I bought quite a few things so I thought I would do a mini haul showing all the lovely items I have. A couple of these are from my birthday but I thought I would include them anyway.


Santa's Belly Shower Jelly


I bought a Shower Jelly for my friend and I wanted to keep it! So I decided to treat myself to one when the Christmas range came out. As soon as I smelt this one I wanted it but the Snowman Shower Jelly wasn't in my local store yet so I decided to wait and compare the two. This one is by far my favourite, it smells of sharp apples which to me this is VERY autumnal because we have an apple tree in my Garden and in September we pick the apples. 



Candy Mountain - Bubble Bar

Last year the Snow Fairy shower gel was bought for me and I loved it! So I had to try the bubble bar. If you have had anything from the Snow Fairy range then you will know what this smells like; very sweet! It's a classic lush Christmas product that reminds me of the smell of sugary sweets. 

Pop in the Bath! - Bubble Bar

This was a Birthday present from my friend Charlotte. She has an amazing blog so click on her name to take a look. Anyway this is such a sweet little bubble bar. I wish I could describe the smell of this product but as soon as I'd taken the picture I was desperate to use it. It made my bath bright pink and very bubbly!



Dragons Egg - Bath Bomb

I know that this isn't a Christmas product but I wanted to buy this product because I love it so much! I have used this bath bomb before, it was the first lush product I'd ever tried; a birthday present from my cousins! It's so beautiful as there are petals inside and that makes the bath look so cute. This might be a very bad description of the smell but too me, this bath bomb smells like my local Lush store! I cannot describe how excited I am to use this!



Think Pink - Bath Bomb


I've had this one so many times before when I was much younger because when you're 7 what's more exciting then a pink bath, especially when the bath bomb has flowers on it! This isn't my favourite bath bomb but it's inexpensive and pretty!



Butter Bear - Bath Bomb

This is such a soothing bath bomb, as it's the Christmas version of Butterball. This was bought for me when by my friend as a 'Well Done' for getting Penny in my school show. It makes your skin so smooth and is really good for people with sensitive skin who may not be able to try lots of different products.


I hope you enjoyed my first (very little) haul. If you enjoyed this and want posts more like this let me know in the comments. Thank you for reading and enjoy your week.
