What I Got For Christmas

Hello Everyone!

I thought today I would show you what I got for Christmas, To some people it may look like I got nothing at all and for others it might seem like I got too much. Personally I think I got a lot and I am extremely grateful for everything I have been given. I am in no way bragging about the things I got, I just enjoy seeing other peoples presents and decided I would let you take a look at mine. I hope you enjoy this post :) It's my first attempt with my camera so bare with the quality of the photos. I will get better I promise!

As you can see I did get a fair bit. I love animal print, so I received a leopard print peplum top from one of my friends, along with a skull necklace that you cant actually see on this photo and a snake effect nail polish, as well as the 'friends' photo frame you can see in front of my GHD's. Its a wooden plaque of the word 'friends' with a love heart photo frame above the 'i' she put one of my favourite pictures of me and her in the heart and it is now hanging above my bed. Sticking with the animal print theme my boyfriends parents bought me the softest leopard print hat with ears and pom poms on it! Lastly for the animal theme another friend of mine bought me a skirt with a tiger on the front of it, along with the red spiked loafers at the front of the picture!

My main presents were my camera off my dad. The Enrapture Totem Styler off my brother. And the Limited Edition Cherry Blossom GHD's from my boyfriend.

My boyfriend also got me. A shamballa type bracelet, a box of Lucky Charms and the cutest cat keyring I have ever seen. I love cats, lucky charms and glitzy jewellry and I was in desperate need of some new straighteners so all of his gifts were perfect!!

Off my Auntie I got a 'Hunks Calender and some 'Flashing Snowman Chocolate' my Auntie and I are really close so funny presents like these aren't rare! Sorry if the cause offence to anyone reading this!

From another friend of mine I got some fluffy pink and white slipper socks. 2 baths sets, a set of 6 shimmery loose eyeshadows and a mirror with a diamante skull on the front of it. From my boyfriends grandparents I got a little Jack Daniels giftset containing a small tumbler glass and a 50ml bottle of Jack Daniels. And lastly from another Auntie, my uncle and cousins I got a white picture frame with 3 photo slots that I forgot to include in the first picture. From other relatives like my Grandad and other Aunties and Uncles I got money which I am saving for my shopping trip to Liverpool on Friday.

And that's everything. I hope you liked the presents I received. I love them all and I am so grateful for all of it. As always if you have done a post like this please send me it. I would love to see them.

Much Love Gemma xo.

The Present I've Been Waiting For!

As you may or may not know. I started this blog just so I could have a nosey at my favourite bloggers posts easily. I didn't post a single thing for ages, all this thing was used for was following people and having them all on one place. Then a few months ago I decided to start posting, BIG problem with that idea, I didn't own a camera and my iPhone was long gone (dropped down a toilet months previous, just in case you were curious.) so taking pictures was impossible. What was the point in a blog without pictures?! I really do not know, but I just had this overwhelming urge to start writing my own blog posts so I did it. And ever since I have been dying for Christmas to come round so I could make this blog more interesting for you guys. I asked my dad months back for a camera for Christmas. He loves his cameras so I trusted him to buy me something worthwhile, personally I would have gone into a shop picked out the prettiest camera and buy it, resulting in me owning a useless camera that takes rubbish pictures! 
Thankfully that was not the case. On Christmas morning the first thing I opened was a little box off my dad and this is what I came across

A Samsung ST66. Its such a cute little camera and is actually really good quality. I've only took pictures of my family so far and the quality was really good. So hopefully when I start snapping pictures of beauty products etc for this blog, the quality will be just as good. It even records in HD so YouTube videos could well be in the pipeline! Who knows. 
I know its not the best camera out there, but we don't have the money to spend hundreds on a camera. Especially if I for some reason or another stop blogging and just toss the camera to the side never to be used again. Don't get me wrong if I continue this blog and it becomes a bigger part of my life then yes I'll save up some money for an amazing camera. But for now I think this will do perfectly :) And seeing as my Dad has an awesome camera that cost him about £500, if I do want to take some really high quality photos I'm sure he will lend me it :). 
So from today I am hoping to get as much use out of this little camera as I can and I will posting much better and more frequent posts! Fingers Crossed. 
I'm really looking forward to seeing what the future holds for my blog now that I have this little beauty to help me. And I hope you come along with me on what could be a really exciting journey (how cheesy do I sound right now?!?!?!!) 

Much Love Gemma xo.
