I love how we all do things so different and how we all have our own traditions and things we must do every year to celebrate the season. My Christmas Day routine has obviously changed in the years, there’s no waking up at 5am to see if Santa has visited or not being able to fall asleep due to excitement, but none the less its still exciting!

As the title suggests, I’ll be going through my Christmas Day routine for you, and I want to hear about yours in the comments too!

Stay at Home Snow Day Activities

December 8, 2020November 21, 2023by OliviaLeave a Comment

The snow is very hit and miss here in the UK, it just decides each year if it really wants to snow or not, and when it does we have a complete melt-down because we don’t know how to handle snowy conditions. But if you are from a place where it snows every Winter, this post is for you! Alternatively, you could just do these activities anyway, the snow is not a necessity haha!

I’m sure it can be quite tricky entertaining family or little ones when going outside isn’t really an option unless you want to freeze to death. So I thought I’d share some ideas I have found for some snow day activities you can do at home. Lets get started!

4 Christmas Activity Ideas

December 7, 2020November 21, 2023by Olivia2 Comments

Christmas this year is going to be very different to anything any of us have ever experienced before. In my eyes that means Christmas needs to be an even bigger deal than it already is. We need the excitement and anticipation for Christmas because we haven’t really had anything else to look forward to this year.

That being said, I thought for todays Blogmas post I would share 4 Christmas activities we can do this year that are fun and not too expensive. Most of these things can be done virtually too if you aren’t able to get to your family or friends this Christmas.

5 Vegetarian Christmas Recipes

December 6, 2020November 21, 2023by OliviaLeave a Comment

Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas if we didn’t speak about food, and blogmas wouldn’t be blogmas if I didn’t share some Christmas recipes with you. I feel like food is such a staple at Christmas just as much as gifts are. People spend hundreds of pounds on food each year at supermarkets and believe me I know, I used to work in a supermarket and every year it would be the same. People filling their baskets and trolleys to the brim like they were feeding the 5 thousand.

My post today is as much for the vegetarians in this world as the meat eaters. Its 2020 and the selection of good vegetarian Christmas food is just getting better and better and I am very happy about it. So enough of me, lets get into the lovely recipes I have for you today.

How to Be Grateful This Christmas

December 5, 2020November 21, 2023by Olivia1 Comment

I’m not sure what it is about the Christmas season, but it just brings a sense of gratefulness. Being grateful for health, family and the many other blessings we have in life. We should of course be thankful for everyday of our lives and make the most of them all year round. But something about Christmas brings out the best of people. Maybe it’s the reason for the season, maybe its because Christmas is about Jesus and the love he showed when he died for us. I like to think thats why people start being kinder and more loving to one another.

On the flip side, Christmas can be hard for some people. It can be tough as Christmas time is about family and love, and some people don’t have that. For todays Blogmas post I thought we could talk about how we can be more grateful this Christmas, and how we can be truly thankful for the life we are living.

15 Christmas Acts of Kindness Ideas

December 4, 2020November 21, 2023by OliviaLeave a Comment

As it’s the season of love and giving, I thought it was only right to include a random acts of kindness post for the Holiday season. I believe we should be good, kind people all year round but I know there are a-lot of people who need extra love and support this time of year.
The holiday season can be a really tough time for some people who may not have loved ones to spend it with, or they might not be able to financially afford to celebrate Christmas.

I think the real meaning of Christmas has been forgotten by society, and we need to be reminded what the real reason we celebrate is for. it should be about the gifts and who has a more expensive gift than someone else. It’s about Jesus, family and spreading joy. And thats why I decided to do this post and I hope you will be able to check some of these acts of kindness from this list this year.

Every Winter my skin goes into melt down, its like it cant cope with the cold weather. And thats another reason why I’m convinced that I was born in the wrong country.

Today I’ll be sharing some Winter skincare tips that we should be following all throughout the colder seasons, let’s get started!

How to Pick the Perfect Christmas Decor

December 2, 2020November 21, 2023by OliviaLeave a Comment

With everybody starting to decorate for Christmas I thought I’d kick off Blogmas with a post on how to decorate your home for Christmas. I always love seeing other peoples Christmas decor and I always want to know where they get everything from. Decorating for Christmas is probably my favourite part of it all, its the lights, the tinsel and the ornaments. It just makes that time of year so exciting.

I think this year Christmas is even more important because we haven’t had anything else to look forward to this year. 2020 has had a great impact on our mental health and I think we need Christmas as a welcomed distraction. Which is another reason why I decided to do Blogmas.
