8)How do you celebrate Christmas with your family?

In my family their has never been any set family tradition, i usually spend Christmas day with my hubby, children , sister and niece at her house to have dinner... but it changes every few years.This year we are all going out as a family to have our dinner i cant wait. I believe Christmas is about family and togetherness so Christmas this year is really special to me, im really looking forward to it .

Hello my lovely's

well id like to introduce you to my guest blogger Rebecca from beauty spot click here.

Rebecca has a fab blog, with some great reviews and fab make up looks not to mention the amazing rag doll Halloween makeup she created that won her a great goodie bag from ELLE UK. 

                                                 
How amazing is this look!! 

Well last week Rebecca and myself decided to exchange 10 question our criteria was beauty and blog related.

Here's the 10 question i gave  her and her fab replys

1)What is your blogs name??
A. Beauty Spot! http://beccaroseking.blogspot.co.uk/

2)How long have you been blogging?
A. I started in February this year

3)Who/how was you inspired to start blogging ?
A. At the beginning of 2012 I started to become obsessed with watching makeup tutorials on YouTube, in particular Pixiwoo's Chanel. The more I watched, the more beauty products I was buying. My makeup bag was literally over flowing so I thought why not start a blog about what I bought & what I really liked. So Beauty Spot! was born :)

4)Can you tell me abit about your blog?
A. It's mainly about reviews on makeup and other beauty products that I really love. I sometimes will upload makeup looks that I have created or will blog about anything else that I am loving at that moment, beauty related or not!

5)How much time do you spend a week blogging or thinking bout future blog posts?
A. It varies really, sometimes I have a bit of a splurge on buying new things so I will try and blog quite regularly. I try and blog at least a couple of times a month though

6)What is your favourite beauty brand?A. This is really hard, I love MAC lipsticks but love Rimmel foundations. If I had to choose though, I would say MAC.

7)What is one beauty product you cant live without?A. I would have to say my NARS Laguna Bronzer. I am faired skin so this really perks up my face, because it is matte it's a great product to use all year round and you can create some great contouring with it as well

8)Whats your favourite high end brand/drug store brand?
A. High end would be DIOR, I absolutely love their eyeshadow pallets and I am a little obsessed with my Dior Amber Diamond powder highlighter. Drug store I would say Rimmel, I love the foundations and range of colours they have to suit everyone. I am also a big fan of their powder blushes, nail varnishes and eyeliners, winner all round really!

9)How much time a day would you spend beautifying?
A. On a week day I try to give myself an hour to get ready for work (depending if I can get up on time!) I do my hair, makeup & have breakfast in that time. If I am getting ready for a night out, I like to give myself 2-3 hours! (I know that probably sounds ridiculous!) but I like to have a shower, wash my hair, put my rollers in and then I normally spend a little time planning my makeup look! Sometimes it takes a little while to apply the false lashes ;-)

10)Who's your beauty icon/icon's??
A. Cheryl Cole is a natural beauty, I have always thought she is so stunning. I love Kristen Stewart's look as well, she is quite a Tomboy so when you see her all glamed up on the red carpet I always think WOW! It's great that she can rock the grungey look but also pull off a classic red lip as well.

Thank you Rebecca  for being my guest blogger on my blog....all go check her blog out and maybe show the blogger love and follow beauty spot (it makes people smile )

Fab Five Friday Faves!!

Hey, so i thought every Friday i would do a Fab Five Friday faves. This will consist of things that have i have loved this week and made me smile....

1)Since now in the UK its bitterly cold, I've very much been enjoying a nice bubble bath opposed to a quick shower.Whats made it more enjoyable is the Lush rose jam bubbleroon.This melt is amazing  the rose scent is very fresh and young no way a mature floral fragrance with the sweetness of jam, crumbled under my running bath water creates fab bubbles and even better my bath water is pink!!

2)Yesterday i purchased the real Techniques stippling brush and omg what had i been missing....I know I've only used it once this morning, but i was that impressed i had to include it.This Brush felt amazingly soft on my face and my foundation looked flawless...recommend this brush to everyone and whats even better Boots have a buy one get the 2nd half price on at the moment.

3) Ive been loving "all of you, yes you reading this"....I'm so grateful for the people that have read, followed and commented on my blog .....thank you so much my lovelys you have made me smile so much (my contribution for movember as i just cant grow one myself ha ha )

4) Not only have i loved you reading my blog, but have loved reading others peoples blog's to. I love a variety of different  genres from makeup to people documenting their life's...A blog I've really enjoyed this week is a thrifty Mrs http://www.athriftymrs.com/ Mrs Thrifty has made me want to organise my house...rearrange my fridge and glitter D.I.Y some shoes this week....this blog is fab check it out .

5) So the weathers been a bit wild this week, especially where i live in the midlands, strong wind and unbelievable  amounts of rain....but what I've really loved is lying in bed listening to the wind outside and rain fall on my windows (ok i don't enjoy it when i have to go out in it and realise the hubby's took the umbrellas to work in the car :/ bad times!! ) but i always think theirs something really therapeutic about lying in your cosy bed and falling to sleep to it...anyone else with me on that one??........

Fave youtubers/Advice for my teenage self tag

So I'm a huge youtube junkie!!! love anyone that talks makeup & life (especially the mummy's of youtube being a mummy myself :)) 
I love watching all kind of videos but do have my faves....sprinkleofglitter, fleurdeforce, zoella280390, Tanya burr, kandee Johnson ,umbumgo, and my new current fave that i discovered last month is Stephanie Connolly (shes fab check her out)
The years of watching these fab youtubers spurred me to start this blog, as I'm not yet confidant enough to put my face on camera. But i do wanna put my love for all things girly to blog....so that brings me here!! and as i love all their videos from reviews,tutorials,tags, vlogs and even their good old rambling to the camera.... i really do love it all.... I'm gonna put all mine to here "my little piece of  me land." Where only people like me will understand the love for as my blog name says all things princess.  So as i love a good old tag video i thought I'd do my first tag and do the Advice for my teenage self tag !!

So the questions are:
* 3 makeup/fashion do's for your teenage self
*3 makeup/fashion dont's for your teenage self
*A deep and meaningful piece of advice for your   teenage self
*1 tip for school
*1 tip for friends
*1 tip for fun

* 3 DO'S
DO moisturise your skin and don't think just cause your 13 you don't have to do it, i suffer with really bad dry skin and moaned about it then and believed moisturisers was for old Lady's ha ha .....my poor skin!

Do go for it with that "black" mascara its not gonna kill ya ,i stuck with clear mascara for years through school looking back it done nothing for my lashes but back in 1998 i thought i looked the bee's knees.

Do think about your fashion sense it was terrible Clair, what was you thinking!!!

3 DONT'S

DONT try and home dye your hair with a box blond colour (wanted to go barbie blond).....the orange look really did not suit me whats so ever ha ha.

DONT wear them horrid Adidas tracksuit bottoms, the ones that had all the different colour stripes and the kappa poppers. you know the ones???.....the ones that your school friends took great pleasure in ripping them open to your embarrassment....yes you thought you looked brill Clair but quite frankly you looked like the original chav!!!

DONT just pick up any cheap foundation that you can find in the shops and pay for it without testing the colour ......then getting it home and wearing it despite it being well to dark for your face.....surely i looked odd!!! yet no one thought of asking why my face was alot darker to my neck....oh and even if your gonna wear that super dark foundation cause it was in the bargain basket for 99p do blend it love...lol

ADVICE FOR MYSELF

Don't be afraid to be yourself.....don't worry what others think of you...live life for now...the people who you was afraid to be yourself with,where are these people now?? have these people made any impact on my NOW life?? do i see these people??? answer to this is NO....so to my teenage self live everyday for now...do everything that makes you happy, don't worry,take chances , speak your mind!! will give you a great start for your adult life.

1 TIP FOR SCHOOL

Don't stand for the bully's...don't let anyone make you feel anything less then you deserve...talk out about it and save yourself 3 years of suffering.

1 TIP FOR FRIENDS

Take more photos with your friends...as you will look back and wish you had the photos to go with the memories or the faces of old friends start to become fuzzy 15 years on.

1 TIP FOR FUN

Just have fun fun fun still be the sensible girl you was at 13 but go and enjoy your younger years! as i say to my 12 year old niece you will never get these younger years back...To the 13 year old Clair life is not gonna end if you go out and don't do that one bit of homework ..take every fun adventure that's thrown at you and grab it with both hands, just enjoy life!!!!... being 13 should be amazing young and carefree.

Thanks for reading, if you read this you are tagged to!!!.....if you have a youtube channel or want to share your faves please do, love finding new channels.
