Midweek York Adventure

On Boxing Day I ventured up to the City of York to visit family that I had, unfortunately, not been able to see on Christmas Day. And while I was there, I obviously had to visit the sales in the city centre. For those who haven't been, York is an average sized city about 5 hours away from London. To be honest, the city is quite boring, but the architecture is amazing, and the shopping is just as good! When I walked to the main shopping streets, I had to pass thorough a huge Fenwicks(not dissimilar to Selfridges), and I was literally standing between a gorgeous collection of Mulberry Alexa bags and a massive MAC counter: heaven.

I thought that I would share some of my pictures of my visit with you guys;

 Have you ever been to York? What did you get in the Christmas sales?

What I Got For Christmas

In no way do I mean to brag or show off in this post, however, I really wanted to show you guys what I received for Christmas! If you're not into these sorts of posts, then by all means, don't read it!

Obviously, though I thought that I should mention it, I am extremely grateful to everyone who is in my life, and everyone who bought me a present this Christmas. I had a great Christmas, and I am thankful to have such nice, and generous, friends and family.

 Why have I not purchased more from Lush?

 So many new books! Ahh! Be expecting a good few reviews in the near future.

 Fearne for Boots beauty box, can't wait to try this stuff out!

 Big barrel curlers; thanks Tabs!

 Finally got Sherlock!

 The forever lusted over Body Shop brushes that came as a totally amazing suprise!

 I do love me some candles!

 My family knows me too well; spoilt for lipbalm choice!

A couple of cute scarves and a pair of fluffy socks later and my 'Christmas Haul' has come to an end. I got some money as well from more distant relatives, and I am very excited to spend that- on beauty products, probably.

Did you get anything nice for Christmas?

Merry Christmas from A Sprinkling Of Euphoria!

Hi everyone!
Just a quick post to say MERRY CHRISTMAS!
I know that not everyone celebrates Christmas, but to those that do, I wish you a truly magical and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year too!

I thought I include in this post things to do on Christmas Day! I know from my own experience that after getting up super early and opening all of my pressies, Christmas day afternoon can get really boring, and a bit depressing. So, here are a few ideas to keep you and your family entertained this Christmas Day!

-Play charades!
-Go on a walk with your family
-Pick some festive holly and make a table decoration
-Play Headbandz(the game where you put a sticky note on your head with a name, and you have to
-Help your family to make the Christmas dinner
-Watch Christmassy movies
-Watch Christmas TV
-Drink hot apple cider or mulled wine
-Listen to Christmas music really loudly
-Wish everyone you see, and call up all of your family and friends and wish them a Merry Christmas
-Play consequences with your family and friends!

I wish all of you a very Merry and Happy Christmas

Books For Christmas Day

It's getting pretty obvious that my blog is being consumed with the Christmas spirit, and that it pretty evident in my recent post. However, there is only one more day until Christmas, and the posts will cease then. Although, I am tempted to show you what I got for Christmas, so that may be coming up...

Christmas Nails!

Hi guys!
This post is long overdue, but worthy of talking about.; my favourite Holiday nail polishes!

December Beauty Wishlist

Hi everyone! As Christmas is coming up, I thought that I would do a wishlist, but make it a 'beauty edition'- there are so many things on my list, so I will only include what I really want!

1. I really badly want the Urban Decay Naked palette, but I cannot bear to part with £36 hard earned cash to get it, so I will settle for a dupe palette. The MUA Undressed palette is supossed to be an exact dupe for the Naked palette, and at only £4, it is definitely on my 'need-it-now' list.

Christmas Jumper Party

Hi guys! So, on Sunday I was invited to a birthday party with a 'Christmas jumper' theme!  I had a great time, and I wanted to share with you what I wore, clothes-wise, and beauty-wise.

My Favourite Lipsicks; December

I love wearing lipstick all year round, but there are so many opportunities to wear lipstick in the Winter that I thought I would let you know my favourite picks. I have chosen two lipsticks for this December, one for Christmas, and one for New Years Eve. 

A Cute Christmas Novel

Hi guys! I knew that for Christmas I wanted to post about a great book that was appropriate to the Christmas theme, but I couldn't remember ever reading one. A Christmas book, I mean. So after staring at my bookcase for a while, I felt so stupid when the perfect book jumped right out at me.

I actually read this book a while ago, around September, I think, but it is definitely a book for Christmas. From Notting Hill With Love...Actually by Ali McNamara is such a perfect book for around this time- it's so festive!
