3 Recent Reads

Reading is something that I have really been trying to get into recently. I always view reading a book as something far superior to scrolling on my phone – it doesn’t feel like wasted time. For some reason though I have always found the scrolling way more tempting, so I’m really trying to turn that habit around. I even wrote a whole article about this before, as creating a reading habit is something I have always wanted to do – in my Basic Girls Guide to: Getting into Reading. Here are a few of the books that have really helped distract me from my phoneI have been reading recently:

One of Us is Lying by Karen McManus: You might have already read this one as it’s been pretty popular for a few years and I think it was recently picked for Zoe Sugg’s book club. It’s a YA thriller, mystery style book set in an American High School – all fairly typical – with a ‘Breakfast Club’ style comparison. I really liked the way the perspective was constantly changing, although it was a bit confusing at the beginning. It gave you the chance to see things from each character’s view and have the ability to see how the incident impacted them all individually. I did find this a real page-turner and if you like that very specific and popular YA genre then I’m sure you’ll enjoy this!

Our Stop by Laura Jane Williams: If you like Paige Toon, ‘The Flatshare’ or most of Giovanna’s Fletcher’s books then I think you will really enjoy this one! It has that classic romance, chick lit style to it but there is also some difficult themes in there too. It’s a book that really has some heart and that is one of the best qualities that a book can have. These are the perfect books for escapism and although sometimes it was a bit predictable, on the whole this was a really great read to transport you to happier and more romantic times.

A Good Girls Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson: I really liked the style of this book as it follows a teenagers EPQ (Extended Project Qualification) as she investigates the suspected-murder of local girl Andie Bell. There are lots of twists and turns within the book and the ‘scrapbook’ style made it a real page-turner. One of the things that I found difficult was that it was set in the UK, when the whole thing just felt really American. I don’t know exactly why this is, but it didn’t feel like it fitted within a usual British secondary school or society at all. There was something that didn’t click with the plot, characters and location which made it a bit hard to believe and disjointed. Overall, if a YA thriller is your thing then I think you will find this story really engaging and the unique writing style will make you want to find out the truth, just as much as the narrator does.

Take care,

Amy

Summer Favourites 2019

I know I’m all about that Autumn (and CHRISTMAS!) life, but I did just want to do one little post sharing some of my favourites from July and August. I didn’t get the chance to share them monthly, which is something I love doing! I didn’t want to completely just leave those months out, so I thought I would mash them together and share them now!

Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer, $15: This product has been my absolute fave all summer long. I’ve literally just been wearing this with some concealer and that’s it for most days. It’s a really great bronzer for pale skin and gives just enough bronzing to make me feel more confident. I tend to dust it pretty much all over my face to be honest, it’s not too pigmented, but mainly around the outline of my face and on the nose. It’s pretty matte but I think it has a slight sheen to it- making it look very natural.

Sanctuary Spa White Lily and Damask Rose Body Scrub, £6.50: Throughout the summer I experimented with ‘proper’ fake tan, it was an experience that you can read about in my 3 Fake Tanning Lessons. This was my exfoliator of choice, turns out that’s a pretty big part of at-home tan. I really enjoyed using this one, it really feels like it is working without being too harsh or abrasive on your skin. The scent is lovely, fresh and floral- I just love how clean this makes you feel!

Hamilton: This month I was lucky enough to see Hamilton on the West End stage. WOW. What a show. I know it has a lot of hype around it, but it is worth it. I find it a difficult show to describe because ‘hip hop American history’ doesn’t sound appealing to me, I’m very much pop music and rom-com. I really, really enjoyed it though and even if you think like I did, that it isn’t for you, I would highly suggest you give it a try. It does have a bit of romance and comedy, it has something for everyone.

Taylor Swift ‘Speak Now’ Album: I know this is a really old school album and we’re all moving onto Lover, but I have been LOVING IT. I literally listened to it throughout the entire summer and it’s just wonderful. I never listened to it the first time round, so it’s been like a new album completely to me. My favourite songs are ‘Speak Now’, ‘Dear John’, ‘Never Grow Up’ and ‘Mine’. Each song tells its own story and I just cannot recommend it enough, just have a listen.

June Favourites 2019

WE ARE HALFWAY TO CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Does anyone else see June as the halfway to Christmas mark, or just me? June has been a pretty special month for me as I got to visit Disneyland Paris and just had THE most magical time EVER. I cannot explain… but I will be trying to throughout a few blog posts coming your way in July! June hasn’t actually felt that summery yet back home, but I’m hoping that the weather will pick up from now! Here’s a couple of my favourite things from June- enjoy!

Benefit’s Cheekleader Pink Squad Palette, £26.00: I recently featured this in my 3 Recent Beauty Buys, so I know its a little soon to be putting this in my favourites. BUT, I have been using this SOOOO much since I bought it. Some days I’ve just lightly glowed up with the ‘Twinkle’ shade, which is exclusive to the palette. I will probably write a review on this product, because I think its a great way to try new Benefit products in a cost effective way but also is PERFECT from travelling this summer. It also includes one of my long-term favourite products the Dandelion blush!

Rimmel 60 Seconds Super Shine Nail Polish in ‘Lovey Dovey’, £2.99: This is a real, true purple. I have been looking specifically for this shade for a while and after exhausting my usual brands I decided to give Rimmel’s nail polish a try! I really wanted this shade for my trip to Disneyland Paris, as it matches my Purple Potion eats perfectly, and it lasted the WHOLE trip. It looked like a professional manicure and I was really, really impressed with the durability and quality especially considering the price.

Aladdin: I have enjoyed EVERY aspect of the new live-action Aladdin this month. I really, REALLY enjoyed the film and I thought it was hilarious. I’ve always loved the live-action films because I feel like they just make it feel very current and modern. Don’t get me wrong, the originals are PERFECT but I kind of see them as separate entities. I have been playing the soundtrack of the new movie constantly throughout June. I really love the new version of ‘Friend Like Me’ and ‘Prince Ali’, the brand new song ‘Speechless’ is just incredible too. Special shoutout to Zayn’s version of ‘A Whole New World’ on there too- it’s gorgeous. One Direction and Disney- it’s almost too much for me to handle.

Jane the Virgin: June brought with it lots more free time and with the rainy weather I have been LOVING indulging in a good Netflix binge- Jane is PERFECT for this! I am already on season 3 and I cannot believe it finishes for good in July. I have really, really enjoyed the show and its perfect for someone who enjoys a light hearted, funny show that highlights themes of intergenerational families and romantic relationships. I am SO in love with this show and time completely flies when I watch this- definitely watch this, if you haven’t already!

May Favourites 2019

I’m SOOO excited that May is coming to an end. It’s always a bit of a drag, especially with all the deadlines that I’ve been going through. I have still had the time to find some pretty good favourites this month… if anything I’ve been avoiding revision so much that I’ve been looking more for them haha! I cannot wait for June because I’m going to Disneyland Paris- if you LOVE Disney content or have a trip coming up soon then keep an eye as I’ll be posting about it quite a bit in the next few months! Until then, here are a few of my non-Disney faves, from beauty to a good Netflix recommendation!

Glossier Boy Brow in Clear, £14.00: It’s actually been a little while since I’ve given this product a shoutout, not that it really needs the promo. I have been using this throughout May and most of the year, but I do go through phases where I try other ones. This month its been a proper staple for me, especially when I’ve been a little ‘relaxed’ with plucking and shaping. I put this on and it looks like I’ve made more of an effort than I actually have which is exactly what I’m looking for in a beauty product! I get that it’s expensive, so it is a little splurge, but I really love the waxy formula and non-sticky feel which keeps my eyebrows in place all day!

Umberto Gianni Scrunching Jelly, £7.00: This month I’ve been trying quite a few new things, especial when it comes to hair care! I picked this up in my Drugstore Beauty Haul and have been LOVING using it. A scrunching jelly is something that I’ve been looking for for ages, its hard to find one that doesn’t crisp up your curls. It really does add definition and is great for in-between washes as it revitalises your hair without the need for washing. This has the same delicious ‘good looking man’ smell as the others in the range and I really enjoy using this product- I’m SO glad I found it!

The Good Place: This month I completely binge watched this series and I absolutely LOVED it. The episodes are only 20mins long so it is really easy to become involved and there are currently only 3 series- I cannot wait for season 4! I’m guessing you know the plot, it’s basically in the afterlife but it is much more complex than the premise makes it seem. I really enjoyed all the twists and turns, I really loved the characters too especially Michael, Eleanor and Jason Medosaaaa. It was a really great watch and made time absolutely FLY. It was SO good that I kind of wish I had slowed down because I literally downed it in a couple of days.

Avengers End Game: THIS WAS EVERYTHING. Technically, I saw this at the very end of April but I just wanted to share that I LOVE this film and just the whole Avengers cast. I feel extremely emotionally invested after all this time and this film was an almost perfect ending… I feel like its alright for spoilers now, right? I’m just going to miss Chris Evans, I didn’t think it was a ‘re-generational’ role. That’s all I’ll say. ANYWAY, I LOVE THIS FILM. I can’t wait to see it again. I’ve watched SO much Marvel recently and I just cannot get over this. 100% favourite film of the year so far. Cinematically it is honestly NEXT LEVEL. I’m struggling to get over it- head over to my Insta where I am still sharing things about this film on my stories regularly… I’m not ready to let go!

April Favourites 2019

One of my most favourite months of the year has come to an end- totes emosh.

I LOVE myself some spring flowers, Easter eggs, bank holidays, jumper and jeans weather… Technically May is Springtime too but by then I am just an essay-writing and revision machine. I just don’t find May that fun- ANYWAY, back to April. Here are a select few of my favourite things from throughout the month with a mix from beauty to food.

Biore Charcoal Anti-Blemish Cleanser, £5.99: Now I am actually going to be discussing this more in its own blog post- I know, keep it together if you can. I spoke in my 3 Skincare Products I’m Currently Trying earlier in the month about trialling some new things and this one is by FAR my favourite. People have actually complimented me about my clear skin. This is completely UNHEARD OF. I have been using this as part of my nighttime skincare routine, because it does make me go a little red for the mornings and I feel like it has really helped. I really hope this keeps working into May and beyond…

Barry M Gelly Nail Paint in ‘Prickly Pear’, £3.99: This is one of my all time favourite colours, just in general life. I LOVE lilac and I’m so pleased that it is finally getting its time in the spotlight. There are lots of lilac pieces around the high street at the moment and one of my favourite ways to inject this colour is through this nail polish, as you can see in the picture below! I’ve spoken endlessly about this formula but I love the glossy, long-lasting and professional finish. This is a pretty good strong lilac, that you can achieve in 2/3 coats and I’ve had it on my nails for most of April.

Creme Eggs: Just like every good April should, my time has been spent eating creme eggs. I love them and I have no shame. They just make this constant stream of deadlines much more bearable- more tips here. I haven’t done as much baking with them as I would have liked but I do scurry them away like a squirrel with its nuts, so am hoping to get some done now with all the leftovers! Creme Eggs have come in a variety of ways this year- we’ve got the minis, twisted and the classic- all three of which I am including as a favourite. I can’t get enough, but I am kind of looking forward to them going on sale for 20p now. My hunt for a white creme egg proved unsuccessful, have you ever found one?!

Live-Action Dumbo: I’ve seen a couple of films at the cinema this month but I have to say this one was my absolute favourite. We all know I love Disney but I didn’t really expect to enjoy this as much as I did, if that makes sense! I took my mum for Mother’s day and it was just the perfect film. Don’t get me wrong, most of it was unbearably sad because Dumbo was SO cute. On the whole though, it was a genuinely lovely film and encompassed all the beauty of a Disney classic. Would deffo recommend to a friend. Although I haven’t seen Avengers: End Game just yet, I CANNOT WAIT though!

March Favourites 2019

Another month to turn over on the calendar already! I’m actually re-using my 2018 calendar because One Direction did not release a new one for the first time since about 2011 and being the girl I am, I couldn’t let go. ANYWAY, after that bombshell that unfortunately is not fake news I can carry on with chatting you through some of the things that I have loved throughout March. Starting of, I just want to dedicate this post to the Jonas Brothers. Thank you for coming back, it’s made this month instantly better and it filled the boy band shaped hole in my life. Here’s hoping that 2019 continues to bring back the best of the boy bands, even if it’s just for a new calendar in 2020! I’m looking at you Harry, Liam, Louis, Niall AND ZAYN- yep, I’m not over it.

Glossier You Perfume: I have been LOVING this perfume for a while but throughout March, I’ve been reaching for it more and more. I absolutely LOVE the smell, it’s difficult to describe as I wouldn’t say its like anything I’ve smelt before. I would say its a sophisticated smell which given my intro is evidently something that I am not typically into. This makes me feel pretty classy when I’m wearing it and if you want to add a touch of class, I recommend ordering this.

Herbal Essences White Grapefruit and Mosa Mint Volume Shampoo: It’s been a while since I’ve tried anything new, in terms of hair products, and this one has not disappointed. I felt like I just needed something new from my shampoo and my hair was feeling a little tired. I really love the scent and packaging of this product which is always a great place to start. I don’t really need volume and I wouldn’t say this adds LOADS though but it does give a little bit of a lift to your hair. I would like to try more of this range in the future and its worth a try if you’re looking to change up your hair products!

Waitress the Musical: I was lucky enough to see this, this month and WOW. It was wonderful. Honestly, it was such an incredible production and Katharine McPhee as Jenna was AMAZING. I did listen to the soundtrack a little before I went, so already expected to be completely blown away and I really was. If you’re looking for a funny, moving new musical to see in the West End then this should really the one you go for! If you’re still not sold then the theatre ACTUALLY smells of pies. This is not a drill.

Coach Trip Road to Barcelona: Now this is a little bit of a niche recommendation for you, it’s not the typical show that everyone is talking about BUT I love it and have done for many years. The latest series finished this month and I feel very strongly that you need to catch up. Basically couples of people go on a European coach trip (obvs) and at the end of each day they vote off another couple. It has a yellow and red card system, to get people off the trip and then they are usually replaced at some point. There are always new people and the activities they do in the different cities are always fun to watch! The main reason this show has a special place in my heart is because of Brendan, the International Tour Guide, he is the absolute sweetest and he really makes the show. He copes really well with some of the REALLY annoying tourists. I don’t know if many people watch this show, it’s on E4, but it’s so easy to watch!

February Favourites 2019

February is the shortest month of the year, so there is no need to pretend that it’s gone really quickly this time because it actually has. It’s been weirdly warm which I am not a fan of and it feels like winter really is on it’s way out- miss you already. I’ve gone for only 3 this month because it is that little bit shorter, I didn’t want to just throw a 4th in for the sake of a symmetrical blog post… yes I’m one of those, unfortunately. There’s still a little mix of beauty and Netflix, of course, so hopefully you’ll enjoy!

Benefit’s Dandelion Blush: When spring begins to peak its head, I head straight for this blush. I’ve spoken about it on here LOADS, as it has been a favourite of mine for a couple of years. I find it the perfect baby pink shade that have a touch of shimmer in, I like to think of it as the colour that I naturally blush. It’s great for Springtime and I’ll be picking this up A LOT over the next couple of months.

Lush’s Snow Fairy Shower Gel: I feel kind of bad for including this one, sorry not sorry everyone. This is obviously a limited edition product that is exclusive to Christmastime. You’ve gotta be smart with this one and BULK BUY, then you can be smug and enjoy it throughout the year. I was initially going to use this very sparingly, yet here we are in February and I can’t stop using it. That sweet bubblegum scent never gets old and I want to smell like it 24/7.

Dynasty: I’ve been watching this series on Netflix throughout February and am really enjoying it. There are only 2 seasons, I’m currently on the second one, and it is so easy to get into. It reminds me of Gossip Girl with a hint of Riverdale- season one, so if you like either of those then I think you’ll enjoy it! It basically follows a rich family who own ‘Carrington Atlantic’ and all the drama that comes along with it- it gets really good towards the end of S1 and I did not see some of those twists coming!

Hopefully you have enjoyed reading about some of my favourite things from throughout this little month. Being a short month, it is not always easy to pick things out that you are different but these are all things that I genuinely have enjoyed using, watching or eating throughout February. I’m looking forward to seeing what March holds and for Spring to be sprung!

January Favourites 2019

The LONGEST month of the year is finally done. Usually we all start these monthly favourites with the old ‘it’s gone by in a flash’ but I can safely say that is not the case with January. It’s a long’un and it didn’t budge. BUT, we have survived and lived to tell another month of all the things I’ve been loving! Instead of giving you an insight into the month, moaning about the cold and lying about keeping up with my New Years resolutions- lets just get into it.

Glossier Boy Brow in Clear, £14.00: I’ve got this back in my life as I re-purchased it in the Black Friday sales! Don’t get me wrong the price is still a little ridiculous for me but finding a discount code makes this SO worth it. I’ve been using it most days to give my brows a bit of staying power and it has a lovely waxy feel to it- not too wet. I’ve gone on about this LOADS, especially in my 4 Best Beauty Buys of 2018 post from last year!

Herbal Essences Bee Strong Shampoo: I’ve gone back to this shampoo after trialling some different one over the last couple of months. This is not a ground-breaking shampoo but I like coming back to it every couple of months, so it does something right! I LOVE the honey scent, that is honestly such a draw and you can often smell it once your hair is completely dry too. It really doesn’t make your hair too greasy, I even find sometimes I can go a little longer in- between washes when using this one! It’s a good, solid shampoo and I’ve been using it constantly throughout January as it isn’t too heavy and goes well with a curl-enhancing conditioner.

fullsizerender

Nails Inc Top Coat in Kensington Caviar: I got this for Christmas in a duo and have been LOVING using this. What a little gem! I hadn’t done a lot of research into it but I really wanted a good gel top coat for my nails and decided I had to start looking into the pricer brands. The Nails Inc colours are SOOOO gorgeous, I would love to give some of the actual coloured ones a go. This really helps my nail polish last longer and makes the application look better, more professional. Might do a full review on this duo, it comes with a  base coat, after a couple more months because it’s SO tough finding a good one- first world problem.

Call the Midwife: This show is a bright light on what can be pretty dark January Sunday’s. Oh this show is wonderful. It’s perfect and settling down to watch it with my Mum on a Sunday night in my pjs makes my week- then discussing it later on with my Nan. I love, love, love this and you simply MUST watch it if you have any kind of joy in your heart. I must admit it, I am worried about Sister Monica Joan and the episode she dies will probably be one of the most emotional TV shows EVER.

Hopefully you have enjoyed seeing a few of the different things I have been enjoying throughout the month! I know that monthly favourites aren’t everyones favourite thing and they are a little bit repetitive. Personally, I enjoy writing them as they give me the space to chat about things that don’t quite fit anywhere else- where else can I discuss my love for Cadbury’s Giant Chocolate Buttons? I do feel like  they’ve lost their authenticity a bit on YouTube as they are plagued by ads and products they only use for the month they’re paid for, but I’m hoping you can see here that I obviously am using these products consistently to become a favourite. I’m trying to stick to around 4 or 5 too and not restricting them to beauty every time either. I’ll be sticking with the 3 uploads a week, so would appreciate your support!

Here’s hoping February’s a good one!

Flashback Favourites: 2018 Edition

I know 2018 is like SO last year, but today’s post is going to be a reflection on a few of my favourite things throughout 2018. I am a sucker for monthly favourites- I know they’re old school and are not always the most exciting posts- but I think they’re a great place to share things that don’t really warrant their own entire post, like my love of Cadbury’s Giant Chocolate Buttons- although I would give it a go. Basically what I’ve done is had a look through all my monthly favourites from 2018 and made a definitive list of my ACTUAL favourite things from the year. I’ve done this last year, if you want to read through those too: Flashback Favourites: 2017 Edition. Not just things I enjoyed for one month, or got involved with because everyone else liked it, the things I genuinely loved and have made themselves staples into 2019.

Glossier Haloscope Highlighter in Quartz: This appeared in at least 2 monthly favourites from 2018 and will be well loved into 2019. 2018 really was a Glossier year for me as I tried many of their products. This one is my favourite though and has really stood the test of time, as I first tried it back in February 2018. I reach for it regularly, and as someone who NEVER wore highlighter before, I think that is quite an achievement for one product. It’s a lovely shade and it actually makes me feel better about myself, which is the ultimate goal of a make-up product for me.

Revolution Conceal and Define Concealer: This is probably the only rival to the ‘Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer’ I’ve seen in a long time. It is slightly creamier and I really like the applicator because it is chunkier which makes it easier to use as a whole base product. I haven’t tried many Revolution products before, but this one in 2018, has really made the online beauty industry take note of the budget brands and shows that they stand up in the competitive market. This got a lot of hype online, that I clearly fell into, but I do think this has to be one of my favourites this year as my one is pretty much coming to an end- it will be interesting if this stands the test of time into 2019.

FullSizeRender.jpg-3

Mamma Mia 2: Here We Go Again! Oh my. What a film. This was my absolute FAVOURITE film of 2018. It was truly wonderful and everything I had hoped it would be after such a long wait for it. This film will make you feel 100x better about life. It has everything you could possibly want and has to be one of my favourite films ever. I have watched it several times since getting it on DVD and is probably one of the few films that I actually pre-ordered after seeing it for the 3rd time in the cinema. If you do one thing from reading my blog- watch this film. This was SUCH a big part that made the most winter-loving girl enjoy.

Once Upon A Time: Netflix has played a big part in my year, being a student it is like a right of passage. Having to pick just one series that I’ve enjoyed is tough, with Gossip Girl being a close runner-up I am going to have to go with: Once Upon A Time. The final series aired in 2018, but I actually watched it ALL in a few months and it was so wonderful. Being completely immersed in the Disney world through the fairy tale characters was wonderful and has to be one of the most creative TV shows. If you love Disney and Riverdale I would say this is a pretty good mash-up of those.

Hopefully you’ve enjoyed this little ‘Flashback Favourites’, I really like them because they give a good summary of the year as a whole and make clear my actual favourites. Despite my blog’s new look, I am going to be continuing with the monthly favourites posts because I enjoy writing them and sharing some real treasures with you, but I will try and keep them a little shorter so if you’re not a fan they won’t take up much of your time. I understand why monthly favourites have lost their appeal, especially on YouTube when they are plagued by ADs- which are clearly only going to be used for that one month whilst they reap the money. Hopefully, through the medium of blogging that authenticity will not be lost and you can see that these things genuinely are some of my favourite things from the month!

Let me know your thoughts on monthly favourites and a couple of your favourite things from 2018 below!

November Favourites 2018

November is one of my FAVOURITE months of the year because you have all the excitement and joy of Christmas to come. I have actually had a rather busy month trying to stay on top of my university work, whilst using every moment to savour Christmas- I’ve been doing one more successfully than the other, I’ll let you decide which haha! That is why there is a little less emphasis on beauty this month, as I don’t really dress up to sit at my desk and werk. I’m hoping you will still enjoy these little gems I have been loving.

Glossier Haloscope Highlighter in Quartz, £18.00: If you’ve been reading my blog throughout the year you’ll know that throughout the summer I was really banging on about this so I won’t bore you with the details. This is simply my favourite highlighter and I had gradually stopped using it for a couple of months, until this month when it was back with A BANG. You cannot use to much of this, to give you that lovely glow and healthy sheen- it isn’t like a disco ball has exploded on your cheeks, not a good look. If you want to read more I’ve gone into detail here: My ULTIMATE Favourite Highlighter.

Imperial Leather Marshmallow Shower Gel, £1.00: It’s been a couple of months since I have shared a shower gel favourite- don’t worry, I have been showering! This one is a classic that I have returned to once again. It is baby pink, lathers nicely AND, most importantly, smells sweetly of marshmallows. What more could you ask for in a shower gel? Let this be the best pound you spend this month and as you can see from the picture below- I ACTUALLY have been loving it. #NotAnAD  lol.

The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina: I know I’m a little bit late to this party- classic. BUT I have been really enjoying this throughout the month to fill that Gossip Girl shaped hole in my life. If you enjoy Once Upon A Time and Riverdale then I feel like this is the perfect show for you. It does get a little too scary for me at times and I can get a bit confused but on the whole I’m really enjoying it!

I’m A Celebrity…GET ME OUT OF HERE! This is my favourite TV show. EVER. Every single year I go absolutely MAD for this show. Every night at 9 I am sat down in my Christmas pyjamas with my family ready to laugh my head- I get really into it. This year has not let me down, although I do really miss Ant. My favourites are Ann and Harry, they are both SOOOO cute and I really hope they do well in the competition. Who are you favourites?

Hopefully you have enjoyed reading about some of my favourite things from November. I cannot believe the most wonderful time of the year is almost here, it’s the best. I’ve decided to stick with my usual Monday, Thursday schedule in the lead up to Christmas, so if you get a chance I’d love you to read some of my festive content… it’s going to be like Rudolph himself has thrown up ALL over this blog- in the best way.

Savour this magical time!
