Blogmas Day 6 / Another Christmas Tag

Hey everyone...

Here I am again with yet another Christmas tag. This time I have got the questions from the Wonderful YouTuber Alfie Deyes, who you may know as PointlessBlog or PointlessBlogTV. If you don't know who he is then he is a British YouTuber who created his own Christmas tag and allowed you to tag yourself in it and answer his questions. He is a great guy and I think you should check him out. Here is a link to his Christmas video:

So here are the questions:

1). Use one noise to describe how excited you are for christmas.

I would describe my noise as a scream..not a terrified one, but one that people do when they are excited or have just seen their favorite celebrity.

2). Whats the best present you've ever been given and why?

It may sound strange, but the best present I have been given would probably be my iPod doc. My boyfriend brought it for me about 3 years ago and I still use it everyday. Having that iPod doc made such a difference to my everyday life as it meant I could listen to all my favorite songs whilst I get ready or when I was bored. I meant that I didn't have to wear my headphones whilst doing my hair and getting all tangled up in the wire. To this day I still use it and love it. I think it's came in really handy for me and was such a useful gift.

3). Whats the worst present you've ever given and why?

I don't think I've ever had any awful presents. I think I'm a really easy person to buy for as I tend to like everything and anything. If it sparkles then I think everyone knows what I will like and dislike. I'm always grateful for what people buy me and I love presents where people put alot of thought into.

4). Sing a line from your favourite christmas song?

Deck the halls with bells of holly...fa la la la la..la la la la

5). Whats your favourite Christmas film?

ELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Without a doubt! it is hilarious and I could watch it every night for the next 5 years I love it that much.

6). Show how good you are at wrapping a present.

7). If you could rename one of father christmas' reindeer, what would you name it?

I would call it...Elvis. I think Santa needs a reindeer called Elvis in his life.

8). Whats your favourite thing about christmas?

My family! Decorations! Christmas Songs! Christmas Films! Christmas Jumpers! Love! EVERYTHING!

Blogmas Day 5 / November Favorites

FIVEEEE GOLDEN RINGSSSSSS!!!!

Blogmas Day 5 already! Today I have decided to do my November Favorites. If you don't know what this is, it's where I shall review my favorite products that I have used throughout the November month...lets get started.

The first thing I am going to show you is the new Barry M Limited Edition Christmas specials. I got this free from Boots when I spent £6.00 or more on Barry M and I love it. I got the Silver Glitter Polish in the shade 341. It's very similar to the Barry M glitter shade in Diamond Glitter, but the glitter in this polish is finer and spreads across your nails alot better. You don't have to keep building over your nails to get that ultimate glitter effect as it happens within one coat of this polish. I love the packaging as you can tell it's Limited Edition and it's in this really nice shiny silver which makes it stand out from your average nail polish packaging. I also really like the feel of the handle as it's a bit of a rough texture which makes it easier to grip when painting your nails. Originally it costs £3.99 on it's own, but the offer is still on in Boots so grab it whilst you can!!! http://www.boots.com/en/Barry-M-Limited-Edition-Nail-Paint_1388211/

GLITTERY AND PRETTY!

One thing I always struggling with is buying hair grips. I have had no end of hair grips but they all seem to hurt my head when I put them in my hair. There's nothing worse then that sharp pain you feel when the tip of sharp grin digs in your scalp, so I decided I need to find some with a hard coating to stop them from hurting me. I was in luck! Normally I would buy Asda or Matalan's own brand of hair grips but this time I went for something different. I never want to spend alot on hair grips because like most girls I tend to loose them and never see them again so I don't want to be spending like £5 for something I know I am going to loose. The hair grips I brought were from the "Mila Rose" collection from Asda. It's like a cheap brand that sells quality hair products. They cost me £1.50 and have probably been the best hair grips I have ever brought. They are soft, supportive and best of all don't hurt my head! I reccomend these to girls who have there hair up alot as they haven't stretched or lost their ability to hold alot of hair. There's 45 in a pack so it helps me to avoid loosing alot at once..link: http://groceries.asda.com/asda-webstore/landing/home.shtml#/product/910000479410

Back onto hair and this time I am talking about hair accessories. I'm really into hair accessories at the moment as I feel they make a boring look turn into a sparkly one. With it being party season, I really needed something nice to go in my hair that wasn't too over the top as my dress could be viewed as over powering. I needed something with a bit of sparkle yet low key. Then I seen these sparkly hair slides that were perfect! They cost me £4.00 from Matalan and I love them! They really know how to add sparkle to a casual outfit or party dress. They aren't showing them on the Matalan website, but I shall link you to some similar which you can buy from eBay.

I love these!

As you may guess by my last name and my blog title "Daily Bow"...I love Bows...especially big sparkly ones! So recently I have been on eBay alot buying myself lots of pretty bow hair clips to help jazz up a boring outfit into a sparkly one! I get a lot of compliments on this particular bow and it only cost me £1.95 including post and packaging which I would say is a fair deal. I have wore this bow alot and everyone really enjoys it, so I reccomend you buy one to and dress up your casual outfits over Christmas. eBay do these bows in a range of colours and sizes with diamante's on, I can't wait for my delivery this week as I have ordered some more...opps!

A bit of a random one now...but it's something I truly love and love is the Febreze Air Effects fragrant spray in Apple and Spice. As you may know from previous blogs, I love the smell of Christmas spices and when I seen that this fragrance in the shops I could not resist myself from buying it! I love the Febreze products anyway and keep one of the sprays in my car at all times incase my seats are in need of a freshen up and it works wonders! I always have people saying "mmm Jess, your car smells nice" but they don't know my secret...until now. With it being the festive season, I am loving spraying everything with Apples and Spices as it makes me feel extra happy and like I'm driving Santa's Sleigh. I reccomend this to freshen up your car or home and make everything burst with Christmas scents.

Mmmmmm

That is all for my November favorites and I hope you enjoyed seeing what I have been loving! Feel free to comment below on all the things you have been loving last month! See you soon!

Blogmas Day 4 / Christmas Jumpers!

Hello everybodyyyyy!

I am sooooo sorry for being late for Blogmas. Christmas is always a busy year for me so I find it difficult to post high quality blogs that you will all be interested in. Any-who, lets begin today's topic...Christmas Jumpers!

I don't know about you but I LOVE Christmas jumpers, but unfortunately I find it really difficult to find a high quality yet cheap jumper, after all you will only wear it during the festive season. I looked in shop after shop but found that most jumpers were thin and really expensive. I'm going to show you some of my favorite jumpers to help you buy the warmest and most stylish yet inexpensive Christmas jumpers ever. I only actually own two festive jumpers but I shall link you to some of my favorite ones from the high street!

Here's the latest jumper I have brought. It was £16 from Peacock's and I think the material is super strong and warm. I find that some wooly jumpers snag really easy and you find "pulls" on them that make you look untidy, but so far so good with this jumper. I wear it all the time, washed it lots and it's still like brand new. I reccomend this jumper because it makes you feel nice, warm and cuddly. I love it's deep Christmas red and how it has little skiers on it. It reminds me of a retro jumper that you would see on old Christmas movies where the children would be too embarrassed to wear them. I'm not embarrassed to wear mine though as I LOVE it! I would have gave you the link to this jumper but I believe they are now out of stock..but you could always check out there other festive jumpers at www.peacocks.co.uk

Another jumper that I seen and loved was this festive season was the Polka Dot Pudding jumper from New Look. It is slightly on the expensive side coming up at £27.99 but I just absolutley love the pattern and the pale blue. Most things around Christmas are red or green but I love this pale blue as it reminds me of frost and the cold weather. It also has white pom poms which are 3D. Check it out on http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/knitwear/pale-blue-polka-dot-pudding-christmas-jumper_289534545

River Island have a very interesting collection of Christmas jumpers at the moment and I absolutely love them. They are so unusal and have really different edges and approaches to your average Christmas jumpers. The one I like the most would be the Bauble jumper. Its a dark navy blue colour with Baubles on. I particularity love this as I think that it's not very often that you see Baubles on Christmas jumpers. It's at a hefty price of £50.00 but if you want to look the best at your Christmas party then it may be worth the dollar.

One of the best qualities of a Christmas jumper is comfort and how soft it is. There's no point in a Christmas jumper if it doesn't keep you warm during the cold winter. I seen this Snowflake jumper in Next and I could not believe how soft it was. Not only was the pattern very festive but it always came in a range of colours. I like the low key grey and the festive bright red. It is £32 which I don't mind paying as long as the quality is long lasting. Link: http://www.next.co.uk/g59188s1#873124g49

I hope you liked a few of my favorite high street Christmas jumpers. Now, for a bit of fun I thought I would show you some of my favorite and most random Christmas jumpers for men, all from River Island.
