Christmas nails, advent calendar stockings

Christmas tree, flowers from grandparents

Christmas eve dinner, home made profiteroles

Frozen planet book, Steve Jobs biography

Chocolate money, Thorntons chocolates

This is what my Christmas was made of...

★ Cooking a three course meal for 15 on Christmas Eve
★ Putting up Christmas decorations for the first time in our little house
★ Making home-made marmalade as gifts for my family
★ Painting mine and my sisters Christmas nails
★ Eating chocolate money
★ Receiving lovely gifts from my family
★ Spending two consecutive days reading and finishing the Steve Jobs biography before the new year (win!)

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year. What did you get in your stockings? :)

Last Minute Christmas Gift Guide

These gifts are a little selection of what I wouldn't mind finding under the tree this year. The L'Occitane hand cream is one of my favourite hand creams, and the dressing gown from Topshop is essential wear for lounging around on christmas day. The bird earrings are just one pair of a gorgeous selection of earrings that Love Hearts and Crosses do.
