#christmaswithemblogs Christmas Playlist 2017

Hey Chickens,

Now, I know this blogpost should really be posted near the started of December but better late than never. I've tried to add in some different Christmas songs but the thing is, the best Christmas songs everyone knows and everyone has them on their playlist. Spotify does also have actual Christmas blogposts that they create, so if you have Spotify, go check them out as well. 

Out of good interest, there is only 9 songs on this playlist because I didn't want to have all repeated songs, but on my Spotify playlist, it says there is 32 minutes of music there. Also I got all of these songs of Spotify so the artists may be different or whatever. 

• It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas- Perry Como + other artists
• Santa Clause is Coming to Town- Michael Buble
• All I Want for Christmas Is You- Mariah Carey 
• Your a Mean Once, Mr. Grinch- Thurl Ravenscroft  
• Mistletoe- Justin Bieber
• All I want Is You- Justin Bieber
• Silent Night- Justin Bieber
• Santa Claus is Coming to Town- Justin Bieber
• Last Christmas- Wham!

So that is my official 2017 Christmas playlist. These songs are just what I have been loving this month of December for Christmas. There is so many Christmas songs though, so feel free to explore into the deep (sometimes dark) world of Xmas music.

This year I have also made a discovery about Christmas songs. There is a very straight forward line if people love Christmas songs or if they hate them. Honestly, you ask people there is no in-between. It is the same with Christmas in general, some people love it and some people hate it. Like my mum and brother hate Christmas music so when they hear me start playing it they are like, omg, turn it off.

Sadly, our time has come to an end. Thanks for reading this blogpost, when I upload this it will be a week until Christmas, like this year has just gone to fast, like it is almost 2018, but I'm jumping the gun there just a bit. Comment down below your favorite song off this list, or just your favorite song in general. I love you all Venus and back but until next time, bye

#christmaswithemblogs Gift Ideas- Male edition

Hey Chickens,

Following on with my last blogpost, this is just a male gift guide edition. Unlike last nights blogpost (which if you haven't check out then make sure to do that after reading this) I won't be doing it under certain amounts of money mainly because I'm just going to explain what options there are.

If you haven't seen my female edition blogpost, please go read it because it will explain things that I'm not going to mention in this post. 

If the male that you are buying for is interested in skincare and is into fancy shaving items then this paragraph is for you. Priceline has some really good and cheap gift sets, they have Adidas, Lynx, Natio, Nivea, Gillette, L'oreal and many other brands. These usually come with some sort of facial gel, a shaving cream or foam and a moisturizer but they all range in different things. The gift sets at Priceline range from $4.95 to $99.99 but as I'm writing this (15 of December) they have 10, 20 and 30 percent off all the giftsets, so I'm guessing that is some sort of sale.

If the male that you are buying for is into car care or motorbike stuff than this paragraph is for you. If you would like to create a personalized gift bag with like car polish, tyre shine spray thing, you could get some tools like screwdrivers, hammers, bolts, spanners, pliers, some rags but just really whatever the guy you are buying for interest is you can create. At Kmart, they have an Armor All (I think that is the brand) bucket for $15 bucks that has all different types of car things and it comes in a handy bucket that you can use to store things I guess, but this one is just already put together for you. 

If the male you are buying for likes technology, then continue reading this paragraph. Obviously, if you had that little bit of extra money to spend then you could buy them an iPad, Apple Watch, new phone or just a new piece of technology. You can buy them a new pair of headphones or a new case for their device that they own. You could buy them a portable charger. Another thing is, if they work with laptops as a part of their job then you could buy them a really nice laptop case. 

If the male you are buying for is into camping and/or athletic stuff, then keep reading for some nice ideas. If they like camping you could buy them a new camp chair, a type of camping set like a dinner set, another thing you could get is a sleeping bag. If they enjoy athletic things than you could get them a like gym bag that they can use, some new exercise clothes, some new runners if you have more money or you could get them a gym membership for like 12 months or whatever. If you wanted, you could buy them a bike or a drink bottle, or both. If you do buy I bike, I suggest buying a helmet as well because you need them to be keeping their brains and heads safe. 

If you are buying for a male that likes gaming then that is pretty straight forward but you could buy them a new game, obviously. If you had a lot of extra money you could buy them a new game console/ system- I'm not sure what they are called. On PS4, I'm pretty sure you can buy memberships that last for 12 months so that you can play online or something and I think they are around $70 or $80 bucks.

If you have read through all of these paragraphs and thought, I still don't know what to get the guy I'm shopping for. This is the type of presents I try and go for, espically for my brother because he is literally the hardest person to buy for, but anyway. 

If you don't know what to buy that guy in your life, then keep reading on. You could buy this person a book, dvd, clothes/shoes, alcohol (if they are at legal age and if you can legally purchase alcohol). Or if you still don't know what to buy them, grab them a giftcard or if you just have tried too much and still don't know, give them some money in a card.

If you read last nights blogpost and saw the way that was set-up, I think I actually much prefer this layout instead of doing it by money, do it by personality. I mention this in my last post and I'll quickly say it now but I'm not trying to gender any of this, some females would love this and in my female gift edition, some males would love makeup. It is just very hard to please every single person and every single personality. 

Also if you are reading this and you are thinking that isn't how you spell that in Australia, yes, I know how to spell but because of spellcheck on my laptop, it comes up with the America correction so I just think, I can't be bothered with this, so um yeah. That was really pointless.  

Sadly, our time has come to an end. Thanks for reading this new blogpost, I really do hope that this blogpost has helped you to buy some gifts for some people because I tried to cover everyone's personality and I think I kinda did that. I love you all to Pluto and back but until next time, bye

#christmaswithemblogs Gift Ideas- Female edition

Hey Chickens,
As we all know, Christmas is coming up very soon and that means Christmas shopping needs to be done. Some people get it all out of the way early in December or in the year while, people like me, decided to wait until a week before Christmas. If you are like me or are wanting to pick up some extra goodies than this is perfect for you!

PS- I'm not going to chose any online websites only because most of the shipping dates for it to come in time for Christmas have been passed and I don't want any being stuck without a present to be giving. All of these items you can purchase in-store
Also this is a female edition- I will be coming out with a male edition as well but it is going to be different to this style

UNDER $10-
Models Prefer eyeshadow tins- Priceline
There are other colours in this range but I've just linked one below so you know what it actually is
https://www.priceline.com.au/cosmetics/makeup-gift-sets/makeup-gift-sets/models-prefer-mp-kit-shadows-day-to-night-15-g

Palmers mini travel set- Priceline
https://www.priceline.com.au/skincare/skincare-gift-sets/palmer-s-facial-care-mini-travel-pack-3-pack

Soap and Glory bath bomb-
https://www.mecca.com.au/soap-glory/fizz-a-ball-bath-bombs/V-029277.html?cgpath=gifts

UNDER $20-
Bare Minerals lipgloss set
https://www.mecca.com.au/bareminerals/ohh-la-luxe-duo/I-029891.html?cgpath=gifts-giftsbyprice-giftsunder25

Ren mini bath oil
I'm not quite sure, but I think they have a few different types of these on the Mecca website
https://www.mecca.com.au/ren/moroccan-rose-otto-stocking-filler/I-029243.html?cgpath=gifts-giftsbyprice-giftsunder25

Smashbox eyes gift set
Smashbox also has this in a lip set
https://www.mecca.com.au/smashbox/studio-to-go-eyes/I-029885.html?cgpath=gifts-giftsbyprice-giftsunder25

I was going to keep going up with the price ranges like under $30 and under $50 but I thought if you have 30 plus dollars to spend, than I'm pretty sure you can find the person your buying a present for something. This was for more if you are on a budget and need gift ideas.
Another great gift idea is giftcards if you don't want to give someone money because it is a little bit more meaningful than money. Also I'm not saying there is anything wrong with giving someone money, I know I love getting money because then I can purchase what I would like.

Also, I haven't included anything from Kmart, but, if you go into the gifts section online they actually divided the different category into price ranges. Kmart's Kris Kringle section has some really good and cheap joke presents.
You'll notice that is blogpost has more girly, makeup skincare items and I'm not trying to gender anything but I've aimed this at the section of women that like makeup and that like skincare and all not, I'm not saying that every female likes this stuff, it is just for those who do. And the same is going to be for my male gift guide, it's hard to provide gift ideas for every different types of people.

This year Christmas is on a Monday, so I will be posting my regular Merry Christmas blogpost than the night after that on boxing day, I'll try and get my Xmas presents blogpost up. Than from the Wednesday to the Saturday, I'm going to try and post all my favourites from 2017 like books, makeup, skincare, films etc. Than on New Years Eve I'm going to post a reflection of the year than New Years Day I'm going to post my goals and just generally stuff for the year.

Sadly, our time has come to an end. Thank-you all so much for reading gift guide blogpost, tomorrow night I'm going to try and and post a male gift guide. I do really hope that this helped you in some sort of way, if it was helpful, be sure to tell me because I love feedback. I love you all to Jupiter and back but until next time, bye

#christmaswithemblogs Present Wrapping- Part 1

Hey Chickens,

Todays blogpost seems a bit strange but just wait for me to explain it and hopefully you'll understand and like the idea of it. Now just quickly, I didn't post all of this week because it was a very stressful and draining week and I didn't want to post a blogpost that I didn't like or was proud of and I'm going to explain more into that after the blogpost. Anyway, this blogpost is going to be a guide to make your presents look like something that would be on Instagram- this is going to be in two parts because the second part is going to be my presents and how I wrapped them.

First up, your going to need to have matching wrapping paper, gift tags and cards. You need to decided what type of theme you are going for, like if you want traditional Christmas like red and green or a natural type look. 

Once you have that figured out you can get into all the decorations and extras.

I do suggested getting a more low key and simple wrapping paper design so you can do more decoration things on the presents instead of having a lot of stuff going on with the wrapping paper and decorations. 

I like to get cute and colourful gift tags that match with the wrapping I have brought for that year. I also like to get matching Christmas cards because I just love everything to be co-ordinated. I like my Christmas cards to have pretty designs on the front, that is just what I like.
In the next blogpost of this mini series, I am going to be showing you pictures of my wrapping supplies and how I wrapped my presents, just so you can see pictures of what I meant in this blogpost.

Now with my blogmas/#christmaswithemblogs 2017 series, I've decided I'm not going to try and post everynight because I want every blogpost to be really good and that I'm proud of. That could mean me having to research things and I don't want to rush anything. I'll be trying to post as often as I can this month but I won't always be posting every night. Hope y'all understand.

Sadly, our time has come to an end. Thank-you all so bloody much for reading this post, I do really hope you enjoyed reading it, maybe it gave you some ideas on how to wrap your presents. Leave me a comment down below if you want and thanks so much for all of your support. I love you all to Saturn and back but until next time, bye

#christmaswithemblogs Birthday Haul 2017

Hey Chickens,

So my birthday is on the 27th of November (which was this Monday) and I was very lucky and I got very spoiled so I thought I would share this with you all. I am in no way, shape or form trying to brag or show off, I just wanted to share this with you all. I am also very understanding that some kids are not this lucky and grow up in really shitty families and areas and don't celebrate their birthdays- My family is not rich, we don't have money, this is a single parent family and my mum does not earn that much money but she still gives my brother and I the best life she can and always buys us presents but I am still so lucky. But anyway, lets get started.

From my Mum I got the BYS highlighting trio which has the purple, pink and gold highlighters and the BYS fan brush. I also got the Simple light moisturiser and the Simple face wash gel- both in the little sample sizes. I got three sheet face masks from Kmart- Cucumber, Blueberry and Coconut. I got this grey jewelry box from Kmart which I love because it has a grey tint to it but the whole thing is glass and it is so elegant. I got the Baby Groot pop vinyl, which is the cutest thing I have ever seen (apart from the real Baby Groot). I got two books from the Red Eye series, which I haven't read these books yet but I've read other ones from the series and they were so good. I got Bad Bones and Sleepless. I got this Rose gold planner diary book from Kmart and a set of two A5 notebooks from Kmart that are rose gold and marble prints. And last but not least I got this frame from Kmart that has love written in it. 

From my Brother, he got me The Outsiders book, which I love so much, like it was such a good present. I loved the movie and I had said I wanted to read the book so my brother went and got it. I haven't finished it yet, but so far I love it and it's my favorite book, hands down. He also got me this denim jacket from BooHoo that is dark denim with all embroidery on the back with some whole design and it is so comfortable. 

My Nan ordered me so many clothes off BooHoo because they were having a sale like a week before my birthday so my Nan said,, what do you want and I got tops, some jeans, some shoes, like I have so many clothes now. 

My dad just gave me money which I then ordered some clothes off Supre. I got a light blue denim jacket and some tops. 

That is about it,

Basically this post was meant to have photos, bu they didn't want to get onto my laptop, so I'm sorry that I was just describing them, instead of showing, but I still got this blogpost up. Anyway, it is the thought that counts.

Sadly, our time has come to an end. Thank-you all so very much for reading this blogpost, hopefully you enjoyed reading what I got for my birthday. Again, I am not trying to brag, I just wanted to share with you guys what I got for my birthday this year. I love you all to Mercury and back but until next time, bye

#christmaswithemblogs Christmas Decoration Haul

Hey Chickens,
So, I have decided to try and post everyday or every other day of the month of December. I am aware that literally every single YouTuber and Blogger does this every-year, but I just feel like doing it this year.
This blogpost is just going to be a little Christmas haul, you'll be getting a few of this this month, because your girl is obsessed with Christmas. I did buy this with my own money, so thanks Kmart for making everything so cheap so people can afford things, but anyway, lets get started. Also I'm not going to be adding in prices, but you can find these all on the Kmart website.

First up I brought a Christmas tree. Look, it had to be done. It is like silver/iridescent which, it looks so nice. It is around 90 cm tall, so it is one of the small Christmas trees that you can buy. Realistically, I would be buying a massive tall one, but there isn't any space in my room, but I still love this tree.

Then to go with the Christmas tree, I had to get some new ornaments. I got this little wooden house that looks a bit strange on the tree because it is actually kinda big but I might put it on a self as a decoration piece. Then I got this set of three little white wood animals that are on little wooden things. And I also got this massive packet of small metallic baubles.

I decided to get these items a bit early because I thought, I better get them now just in case I can't get them in the future. I got some tags but I've lost the photos for them, so sorry about that. I got this really cute wrapping paper that is like a natural colour and in white writing it says things like Merry Christmas. Then I got three really cute gift bags because, I need something to put the presents in. And I got this really cute string.

Then last but not least I got two teddy bears. I have and always will have a soft spot for teddy bears/soft animals whatever you call them so I just had to get a couple because I love them. I got a flamingo with a Christmas hat on, no more explanation there. And I got this really cute and really small reindeer which is so small and cute. And this isn't a teddy bear but I got a really nice wooden reindeer decoration.

I do realize that most of these pictures are the wrong way round but I'm sorry about that. I would have re-taken the pictures except everything is at my mums house and I'm currently at my dads, so hopefully it doesn't annoy you too much.

I wasn't trying to brag or show off in this picture, I just wanted to share with you guys what I've brought as decorations and some other things so far this year. This month I'm going to be doing gift guides under a certain amount of money for all different types of people weather they are beauty minded or clothes minded or artist or they like cars, I'm going to cover everyone.

Sadly, our time has come to an end. Thank-you all so much for reading this blogpost, I hoped you enjoyed it, maybe it gave you some Christmas ideas. Again, I'm not tying to brag I just wanted to show you what I brought because I love doing hauls for you guys. I love you all to Saturn and back but until next time, bye
