CharJansen :): December Favourites!

Hey Guys!!

Happy National Sci-fi Dayy :)

So as I sit here with Captain America:Winter Solider on in the background, I completely forgot to do my December favourites and as I'm too ill to go and see the latest Hobbit film; The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies (insert sad music...) instead of lazying in bed which is soooo hard :( I thought I'd be more productive :D

So here's my favourites:

Food

Although at the end of the month I haven't really eat anything due to me being ill, I've been solidly relying on peppermint tea but the decaffeinated one as I read somewhere that it helps soothe a sore throat and it actually has helped and has made me slightly obsessed...not gonna lie... :/

So before I got ill and I was still feeling festive, gammon was the one. Not going to lie, I had it 3 days in a row... guilty pleasure number 2486982.

Make-up & Beauty

Of course the festive season wouldn't be the same without glitter, red, greens and nudes and surprise surprise, that's no exception for me :) For the majority of December, until about the time of New Year, I've had Essie's 'a-list' on and I've got to say, for 2 weeks, I only had to do touch-ups once. Once!!

After Christmas I literally hardly wore any make-up obviously, but I haven't forgotten about my skin especially as it's now Winter and I'm more prone to chapped lips, dry skin etc. so what I've been reallly loving is the Garnier Pure Active Wasabi Scrub. This scrub is soooo good :) It fights the appearance of imperfections and is really great if you have oily skin that's prone to imperfections and although it doesn't really have the best smell, it sure does work. If you apply this to damp skin, work into the skin using circular motions and wipe off with warm water and what I like to do then is whilst my skin's still a tad damp is apply my moisturiser then as I don't have to use as much :) p.s. there's also a gel if you're skin doesn't react well to scrubs as the beads in this formula are quite harsh on the skin, but I like that :D

Fashion

At the end of the year, I haven't been out hardly at all, so I've been lounging around in my Christmas pj's but when I have been out I've been obsessed with this new jacket I got from Matalan but I can't seem to find it on their website, but it's a long blazer kind of jacket that's bright cobalt blue with 3/4 sleeves and I just love it. I paired it with a plain black crop top from Topshop, my ripped black jeans from New Look and my faux croc slip on shoes from Topshop as well for my friends family party on New Years Eve but because my camera is being poopy and refuses to turn on so I've got to take that to my camera shop and get it sorted but as soon as I have, I'll take photos of it for my future look-book :)

TV/Music

FOUR!! FOUR!! FOUR!! Yes, One Direction's new album, Four, is definitely the album of the month for me. Just between me and you, I know all the words, that's how much I've listened to it. Out of all of the songs, Fireproof, Ready to Run, Where Do Broken Hearts Go, 18, Fool's Gold, Night Changes, Girl Almighty and Stockholm Syndrome are my favourite, which after typing these I've just found out that's nearly all of them...oh well ;)

As well as listening to this non stop, I've also been watching Father Ted. It's set on a fictional island called Craggy Island near Ireland and is based around 3 priests, Father Ted Crilly who's essentially the main character who lives with Father Dougal McGuire who's very simple and says some of the funniest things ever and Father Jack Hackett who's a loud-mouthed drunk who doesn't care about anything alongside their housekeeper Mrs. Doyle who loves making tea. If you get chance to watch it, watch my favourite episode 'Night of the Living Dead'.
