Blogmas #12 | Becca's Babble's #2: Christmas Traditions

Source: blog.interflora.co.uk
I am going to share with you how my family prepare and celebrate Christmas.

BEFORE CHRISTMAS
Before, we obviously make sure that all our Christmas shopping has been done and presents have been sent to family members we don’t see at Christmas. Twelve to fourteen days before Christmas, we put up our tree and other decorations and send out Christmas cards. On Christmas Eve we make sure the house is clean and tidy and my parents make sure we have everything we need, such as, food/snacks and drinks. And my Dad prepares all of the vegetables. We then go to bed whenever we want and try to sleep!

CHRISTMAS DAY
On Christmas morning we usually wake up early (not on purpose, lack of sleep) and then make a hot drink. The four of us then go upstairs to our living room and open presents. My Sister and I usually eat chocolate for breakfast and we all have a glass of bucks fizz. My parents then start cooking Christmas dinner. My Nanna and Pops come around mid-morning to afternoon with more presents and to open their presents from us. We usually sit down to our turkey and vegetable dinner between three and four o’ clock. We then have desert and after we watch the television. When my grandparents have gone home, we all get ready for bed and sit and watch the Christmas specials of TV shows we watch. We then go to bed whenever we want.

AFTER CHRISTMAS
The day after Christmas on the 26th is called Boxing Day in the UK and this is when the Christmas sales start. We get up a little earlier, so we can get ready and go sale shopping. Then in the mid-afternoon we go around to my grandparents’ house and have a buffet. We then watch some more TV and sometimes fall asleep. Later on in the evening we go home and get ready for bed and watch more TV.

My family traditions do slightly come across as being boring, but we like to spend it together and relax before going back to work!

What are your Christmas traditions?

BY BEAUTY BAY Fiery 16 Colour Palette

This is the third BY BEAUTY BAY make-up product I’ve tried and I did see it on the website when it first launched, but never picked it up. It was always sold out anyway so I couldn’t get it and the packaging has just been re-vamped for all of their palettes and all of the products were re-stocked. I decided to pick this one up because of the size, it’s not too small and it’s not too big. The nine shade version of this palette is all matte, and I really like shimmers/metallic and the massive forty-two shade version is too big (too many shades and too big to store in my drawers). I thought the sixteen shade palette would be the perfect medium. My palette actually arrived faulty; one of the eyeshadows is missing (Burnt Sienna). In the spot were Burnt Sienna should be there is actually a duplicate of another shade in the palette (Sunstone). Basically, I have two Sunstone eyeshadows and I should only have one. I don’t have the shade Burnt Sienna when I should have one of them (abov...

Morphe X Jaclyn Hill Volume II Palette

This palette has been out for a while now and I did purchase it a while ago, but I have only just decided to really play with it. Morphe palettes in general put me off because of the size of them, no shade names, boring packaging and too many shades in some palettes. The colour story of this palette in particular is really attractive to me. I didn’t buy Volume I as I didn’t want to jump on the band wagon, the size of the packaging and the colour story is just boring to me. I did pick up the Vault Collection (four palettes) and what a massive disappointment it was too (now decluttered)!! I was initially put off this palette due to my past experiences, but the colour story though! Also, a good thing about the Morphe website is that you can always get 10% off your order with an affiliate code.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is a quite large thin rectangular shape. It is made out of glossy white cardboard and it has the branding and information printed in metallic silver font on the fro...

Anastasia Beverly Hills X Nicole Guerriero Glow Kit

This palette became a cult favourite in the beauty sphere when it was first released as a limited edition product in collaboration with Nicole Guerriero (Beauty Influencer on YouTube), and there have been many calls to bring it back. In 2020, Anastasia Beverly Hills finally listened after three long years! I only actually heard about this palette after it had completely sold out and was no longer available. I must have been living under a rock at some point during 2017, because I completely missed this product! I am glad I finally got the chance to get my hands on this palette and I have heard nothing but raving reviews. There are six metallic highlighter shades, which should be highly luminous. They have a refined formula that should deliver buildable coverage with a smooth finish. The shades were created to flatter all skin tones and they can be applied anywhere on the face, eyes, lips and body. The palette is cruelty-free and vegan. You can purchase the palette for £42.00 (...
