♡ Looking Back on 2015 & Looking Forward to 2016 ♡

First of all Happy New Year!! 

2015 was one of the most exciting years of the life so far, I got to experience so many new adventures. 

In 2015, I was lucky enough to go out of the country twice, both were an amazing experience; 

The first being to New York City in February with College, not only was this my first time to America but it was also my first time going on an plane, which was an 8 hour flight! 

While in New York I got to experience so many things, for example ice skating in Central Park, Visiting Times Square, Going up the empire State Building, Visiting Grand Central Station and the Statue of Liberty! While of course going shopping on 7th Avenue, Macy's and many more. 

This was definitely a trip I will never forget.  

The second time I went on holiday was to Majorca on a Girls holiday with three of my closet friends, I had the most amazing week in the sun. 

We went to the beach 'alot' we visited some caves which were beautiful, and went swimming in the sea which was crystal clear!

I also finally got to see One Direction live, at Summer Time ball they were amazing!! 
It was one of the best concerts I have been to, and I would highly recommend people to go, My Friend and I got golden circle tickets, which meant we were right at the front, so we luckily had an amazing view!  

  (These are only a few of the people we saw live) 

It was my 17th Birthday in August, I also started my driving lessons, which then I took my theory in October then Passed my Driving test in December! 
I also brought my first car in November! :) 



These were just some of the memories that were created in 2015, I am looking forward to what 2016 has in hold. 

I want to say a massive Thank you, to all people who have read and commented my posts in 2015, I am sorry I didn't post all the time, but one of my goals for 2016 is to really put 100% into my blog, and I hope you enjoy the posts I have planned and stick with me! 

Happy New Year and I hope you all have an amazing and healthy 2016!

☃ Blogmas Day 10 - Golden Eye Look ☃

  I have been loving this eye look at the moment, It's a very simple everyday look.

To create this look I have been using Collection's eyes uncovered in 'Nude Bronze' Palette.  

The first shade use is the gold colour 'Ochre' in the corner and middle of the lid.

In the crease I use the lighter brown 'Ember'.

Then in the very corner of the crease to darken the eye a bit I use a mix of 'Golden Brown' and 'Nutty'. 

Then to brighten the inner corners of the eye I use 'Ivory' and also the same colour the brow bone. 

(Left or Right - Ivory, Mink, Orchre, Golden Brown, Ember, Nutty)

The eyeliner I have used is Soap & Glory - Supercat, which is amazing, I would highly recommend! 

Then for mascara I have used Roller Lash by Benefit which is still my go to mascara. 

(Full review of Roller Lash here.)

Thank you all for reading!!

Gift Guide for him by abbiehaworth-1 featuring christmas holiday decorations

 This is the third gift guide in my series.

'Gift Guide for Him' 

I find the hardest people to buy for are my Brother and Dad, so I have been noting down different ideas for gifts to get for men. 


I feel men what things that are practical and they would use, so I find getting them, shower things or shaving things for a great idea, so they are most likely to get used. 

Which is why I have included gift sets, they are always my go to! 

Hugo Boss Gift Set -  £60

Shaving Gift Set -  £95

Four-Piece Men Coffret Gift Set - £27

G-Star Scarf and Hat Set - £79 

Men's Watch and Wallet Set - £33

D.R. Harris Arlington Shaving Gift Set - £56

Hope this helped you in some way!

☃ Blogmas Day 5 - Gift Guide for Her ☃

Gift Guide for Her by abbiehaworth-1 featuring christmas holiday decorations

Viktor Rolf eau de parfum perfume / Benefit beauty product, £33 / Gift sets kit / Pandora sterling silver bead charm, £125 / Pandora polish jewelry, £49 / Pandora sterling silver enamel charm, £33 / Pandora sterling silver jewellery, £20 / Yankee Candle christmas holiday decor, £8.00 / Christmas holiday decoration, £6.64 / Christmas holiday decoration

This is part two, to my Christmas gift guide series! 

'GIFT GUIDE FOR HER' 

I have put together a few things that I would personal love to receive for Christmas and a few things that I have brought for friends and family, I tried to include gifts of different price ranges, so there is something for everyone! 

Pandora - I find this is the place to go to get girls a nice pretty gift, they do different things at different prices, so i find it is a flexible place to go. I personal have a Pandora charm bracelet and I know a few friends that do as well, I also think its nice to get someone a little charm to add to their collection, Pandora have the cutest Christmas range as well, I would highly recommend going to have a look! 

If you wanted to get a really nice gift from Pandora for maybe a family member or partner, they also have some lovely rings, which range in prices, from around £20 +, again this would make a lovely gift. 

I also think perfume is a lovely gift idea for a girl as perfume is something girls don't really treat themselves to, the perfume I have included is one on my Christmas wishlist this year. I know perfume can be hard to buy for someone else as everything prefers different perfumes, so I would probably recommend finding out what the person likes before buying.

Gift sets area perfect present for someone, as they get a range of different things together, which I find a good thing as you get to try different products, there are some amazing gift sets around at the moment, boots have some good ones for example Soap & Glory and Benefit. 

Candles are also a really nice gift as well to give anyone, as there is such a range of different candles around, plus there are some amazing Christmas candles out at the moment! 

Thank you for reading.

I hope this post helped come up with some ideas :)

☃ Blogmas Day 3 - The Christmas Tag ☃

I don't think there is anything better than a festive tag!

I was tagged by the lovely Yana from http://timewithyana.blogspot.co.uk/ 

You can check out her answers to the questions here :) x

Favourite thing about Christmas? 

There is a lot I love about Christmas, but the main thing would be seeing the family, and spending time with them. I also love the whole festive feel about Christmas! 

Favourite Christmas Movie/s?   
 I do love a good romance Christmas Film! 

• Home Alone 
• The Holiday 
• Just Friends 

 

Real or Fake Christmas Tree? 

 

Me and my family have always get a real tree, a real tree just screams Christmas, the smell and going to pick the tree from a Christmas tree farm, is part of Christmas to me!  

 

 Giving Presents or Receiving Them? 

 

I love giving presents, as I love seeing people's reactions, and also I don't like the awkwardness of opening presents in front of people!  

 

Do you open your presents Christmas morning or evening? 

 

It depends when everyone is together, we always used to open them in the morning when we were younger, last year we opened in the evening, much to my dismay! 

 

What tops the tree?

 

On our tree we have a gold star. 

 

As a kid what was the one (crazy, wild, extravagant) gift you always asked for but never got? 

 

There were two things, a puppy and a electric kids car, but I never got either! :( 

 

Handmade Christmas cards or brought?

 

It depends, if I find a funny/cute Christmas card then brought or sometimes I do handmake Christmas cards if I have the time. 

 

Do you have Christmas Eve tradition?

 

 If I'm not working, then I put sit by the tree watching Christmas Movies and drinking hot chocolate and eating! 

 

Thank you for reading!
