BUY ALL THE THINGS!

So Ive just got an email from a company telling me they had "the perfect gift for him this Christmas!"
"Perfect!" I thought. I opened the email excitedly to see what original and quality gift I could get for a loved one this year and it was...

...a razor set. What? I mean, seriously? A razor and some shaving foam is your grand idea? I thought at least it would be something you couldn't pick up with the weekly shopping...but a razor and some foam? Here is my face at exactly that time:



So I thought why not do a bit of an alternative Christmas gift guide, You know, to prove I'm not a grinch.

How's about a little personalisation? A hoody (for them snuggly winter nights), t shirt, mug, mouse pad, pen, calendar... The list goes on. I myself am on Santas list for a pug hoody. Hell! You could even personalise that razor I'm sure!

50 pairs of socks. Because everyone needs socks.

Something you made by hand - this could vary depending on what you have in the house. It could range from a collage in a nice frame to a macaroni and glue picture. But the best things are usually the ones that don't cost a lot and have had some thought go into them ie. not a razor.

An electric razor, because let's be fair it's better than a disposable bic and some shaving foam.

Selection boxes but instead of sweets have little things that you and the giftee mutually enjoy. (Edit- this could be sweets)

Lastly, if you do go for the razor for the man in your life (or hairy mother in law) Then that's a-ok, I'm sure grumpy cat will understand.

"Brand New Mint In Box"

Of the ways to describe the most premium of items in your makeup collection "Brand New Mint In Box" should not be one of them. One of my most awful habits is buying makeup and then not using it and to my even greater shame it is usually with my most expensive purchases. There is an Alan Carr joke about the extortionate price of a Spanish Onion, the punchline is "when do you save an Onion for best?" This is kind of how I feel about expensive makeup. It's so pretty and so precious that if I get up the courage to actually purchase it, I'm then usually too scared to use it. The pride and shame of this habit is these two items from Dior.  The absolutely sublime Dior Skin Nude Tan highlighter which I purchased as a pre-release special edition from House Of Fraser TWO YEARS AGO has sat in box all tightly wrapped up only being shown the light to show off to my friends and family. Yes I do show off my prettiest of pretties to my friends and family...

No Halloween Costume Needed

It's become an accepted norm that once December 1st comes around the nations will don their snowflake print leggings and their novelty jumpers but so far the other seasons are lacking in their effort. Yes, Halloween is famous as being the single greatest costume day of the year but I need October to step and represent in the seasonal apparel game.  Thankfully retailers have heard my inner goth cry and have come up with some seriously cute Halloween inspired items. For those who love a slogan tee you have every variation of saying that could possibly be made by rhyming witch with bitch and if you don't say every one of with Emma Roberts' attitude then you need to watch season 3 of American Horror Story immediately!   Dressing with the seasons is clearly big money but it doesn't have to cost the world. Here are my choices of how to get into the Halloween spirit all under £30.  Boohoo Starting with my favourites because I can! I actually bought the f
