Happy 2013!

Well helloo there! Long-time no see! I do apologise for being away for like 2 weeks, but Christmas and New Year just got in the way. I had far too much to do and sort out along with going to see family and that kind of thing you do at Christmas time. I am at the minute just sat on my bed in my newly moved around bedroom, I spent the whole day yesterday sorting, cleaning and moving my whole bedroom around and today my arms are killing me! I decided I wanted to sit down and blog, but I don’t really know what about to be honest with you all so this may get a bit rambly. I Apologise.

So I hope that you all had a great Christmas and New Year and spent it with people that really matter. (As well as Santa bringing you what you want) I had a great Christmas, Christmas Eve I spent the day helping my Mum & Auntie prepare everything for the party that we have at our house that night with all my Step-Dad’s side of the family, which I really enjoyed. Then I went and got my Christmas Jumper & Santa Hat on and enjoyed the party with my little cousins and aunties and uncles for a few hours. At about 9:30 me and my boyfriend Chris went out into our town for a drink and to see some of our friends (which didn’t last very long because Chris was a little merry *SHHHHH*) so we came home and had some food and then went to bed. Christmas morning, Chris had to go home to see his family so we got up and had some breakfast and then he went home. My brother and his girlfriend came home at about 11, so then we opened some presents and got ready. Me and my mum then walked around to my Nan’s house to help get the dinner ready which we normally eat about 2:30pm. After lunch we had some presents at my nans and then came back to my house where Chris came back to so we could see each other and give each other our presents. I may be strange but I love Boxing Day, me & Chris went up to our town to meet some of our friends and have some lunch. It was a lovely day. 

New Year was pretty standard TBH! Go out, get drunk, watch the count down, and go home. It was a good night, there only ended up being me, Chris and one of our friends originally but then we met up with some of our other friends later on. It was a nice night and nice to spend it with people that mattered and in our local pub. 

So this post has ended up being what I did over Christmas and New Year, I hope that I didn’t bore you too much! 

What did you all get up to over Christmas & New Year?

Lots of Love

CHRISTMAS TREE TIMEE!!

Hi guys, So if you follow me on Twitter (@BeautyByNumbers) then you will already have seen one of these photos, but I thought that I would put them on here in a little post for you guys.

So this year is the first year that I have had a real Christmas tree at my house, which I was very excited for. It is tradition in my family to all go together and buy our real trees from somewhere near to us. On Saturday Me, My Auntie & Uncle, Grandad & Uncles 2 Granddaughters all went to get 2 Christmas Trees, this was so much fun and we had breakfast afterwards and that kind of thing, these 2 trees were for at my Nan & Grandads house and my Auntie & Uncles house. I wasn't allowed to get mine until today because there were still things that needed to be moved around from when we first moved in! (Which yes was in July!!) So instead, Me, My Mum & Stepdad went to get ours today. We had to go to 2 different places because the 1st place (where we had gotten them from on Saturday) barely had any left at all. But we did finally get one and me and my mum put it up. (With help from my Stepdad hacking at the bottom of it with his shark knife so we could get it in the stand) We have also decorated it and everything and I am so happy with how it looks.

So this is our tree! Doesn't it look sooooo pretty!

There also was another reason I decided to do this post because I thought what best time for the first outing of my Christmas jumper, was going to get the Christmas tree.

This is my Christmas jumper! I absolutely love it, it was from the men's section in Primark and cost just £10, I had been looking for one for ages and this was my favorite of all of the ones I had seen or tried on!

What do all of you guys Christmas trees look like? And have you got a Christmas jumper?

Lots of Love

Christmas Party #1

 Hi Guys, I hope that you are all okay, this is a very random post if I am completely honest. I just thought that I would show you all some of the photos from my boyfriend's Golf Christmas Party that was last Saturday night.

As you may be able to tell as the photos go on, I had been drinking a little bit of wine, (not condoning alcohol at all!) *HEHE* I am old enough to drink as I am 20! We had such a lovely time, with lovely food, drinks and company!

My dress was from H by Henry Holland
Chris's suit was from Asos

Have any of you guys had any Christmas parties yet?

Lots of love

Christmas Tag

Hi guys I have been getting into the Christmas spirit so much recently, I have started my Christmas shopping and have been getting wrapping paper and things like that together, so I thought that I would do I would do the Christmas tag to get me even more in the mood! 

1. What’s Your Favourite Holiday Movie?

1005 has to be The Grinch, I used to have it when I was younger on VHS (oooohh) hehe, and I used to watch it so much that I broke the video, you couldn’t hear any sound on the movie anymore, so I now have it on DVD, I am just waiting for this one to be worn out and I’ll have to get it again!

2. What’s Your Favourite Christmas Colour?

Has to be red! It just screams Christmas to me! I am currently on the lookout for a Christmas jumper and I was a red one. I have just always thought that red is Christmas.

3. Do You Like To Stay in Your PJ's Or Dress Up For Christmas?

I don’t actually get a chance to stay in my PJ’s on Christmas day, there is that much stuff that we get up to that I always get dressed up and go and see all my family and things like that. However I would love to stay in my PJ’s all day! That’s a plan for in a few years’ time I think

4. If You Could Only Buy One Person a Present This Year Who Would It Be?

This is such a hard question, because I have a very large family and I buy a lot of presents! But it would probably be either my little brother who is 8, or my boyfriend.

5. Do You Open Your Present Christmas Eve Or Christmas Morning?

We always open our presents of Christmas morning. Me and my twin brother always get up and open our stockings first and then we have to make our mum and step dad a brew and then we will go and open our presents from under the Christmas tree.

6. Have You Ever Built a Ginger Bread House?

No I haven’t! I really want to, I have made Christmas cakes, gingerbread cookies and mince pies before.

7. What Do You Like To Do On Your Christmas Break?

I just love to spend time with my family. We love going to Christmas markets and Christmas shopping and just decorating our houses and spending as much time together as possible!

8. Any Christmas Wishes?

Hmmm I don’t actually know, I know most of my presents that I am gtting this year as they are things that I have been out and picked myself. But i would love a Michael Kors watch :) *Chris take note* hehe

9. Favourite Christmas Smell?

Either my Yankee Candle in Macintosh Spice, I have been nurning this for the last month and I absolutely love it, I have almost finished my 1^st one and am going to but some more of the tumblers today! Or Christmas trees, my nana and granddad always have a real Christmas tree in their front room (we are having our 1^st real one this year *yayy*) and I just love it when I walk into their house and open the front room door and just get hit with a wave of pine!

10. Favourite Christmas Meal or Treat?

Well, you can’t beat Christmas dinner in my opinion! It is one of the best meals of the year without a doubt! I love everything to do with Christmas dinner! Even sprouts! But I do really love candy canes, and advent calendar chocolate as well!

So I hope that you guts enjoyed this, I tag everyone to do this tag to get you into the Christmassy spirit!

Be prepared for lots of Christmassy posts from me over the next few weeks!

Lots of Love
