Hi guys!
Elf on the shelf is a tradition that is fast becoming popular in many hosueholds. Pintrest has some amazing idea's so i've sat and sorted through hours worth of content to bring you the best elf on the shelf idea's that is on the interweb!
These are just some easy idea's that I think your kid will love. They take probably five minutes prep and that is it. All of these images are from pintrest so if you follow my board there by clicking here, the photo's will take you through to original authors :)
Are you doing elf on the shelf this year? What are some of your ideas you cant wait to use?

Hello my wee elf's!
Today's post is one to help out the gents a bit more than usual. This post today will be the one you want to screenshot parts of it to him or just the link to give him a (not so subtle) hint. It's a gift guide for your average twenty something beauty blogger ;)
1 - Kardashian Kollection Handbay
I love the range of handbag's that the Kardashain Kids have come up with. I like the soft cream coloured bags as I think they are so versitile with many different outfits !
2) Becca - Champagne Glow Highlight Palette
The hottest highligter pallet out is Champagne Glow. It is perfect for a few reasons, one is that it includes Champagne Pop by Jaclyn Hill, but two is that the lightest highlighter is Pearl and I have seen in Nikki Tutorial's vlog's that it is perfect for the pastier girls like me. It's limited edition and not permanent so lets all rally together to get Becca to keep Pearl!!
3 - Adult Colouring In Books
These are such good stress buster's. You can get so many different design's to do and I thoroughly enjoy sitting down at the end of the day for fifteen minute's to unwind, Shop all the different designs here.
4 - ADELE // 25
Adele is back and she is better than ever. This is the best gift and is so affordable! Adele's music is worth the wait and she kill's this album. Pick it up super cheap here.
5 - Marshmallow Body Butter
Um, do you know how delicious marshmallow taste's?! If you don't, then let me tell you it is amazing. I have been eyeing up this marshmallow body butter because not only does it look cute but im super confident that it will smell great too! Shop it here.
What are some thing's you would recommend buying for yourself/your partner/on your wishlist?

Hey baby flowers!
Welcome back to blogmas with Lipstick and Bubbles - woo!
Christmas traditions are something that I think are super important. They will carry on through your kids for generations and generations.
Some of our family traditions include -
Visiting the houses that are decorated with lights. We always use to drive around town with all of my family and see what was out there. I loved with when people were outside their house interacting with their guests too. People always had lollie's for the children and even at 18 I used to look forward to visiting the beautifully decorated houses. If you don't know where any are you can check them out by visiting this website here.
If your in Christchurch, make sure you visit shands road. From the first of december they allow visiters and it is definately one of the best displays in New Zealand. You can check out a clip here and look out for my upcoming vlog from when we visit it it this year. The people do an extrodinary job and its $2 for people over the age of 2 with all proceeds going to charity.
Christmas Eve was a time for treats. We always used to have a BBQ at my uncles house and ethose who were old enough to or mature enough to, were given a shandy. For those who don't know what a shandy is it is half beer and half lemonade. As a teenager this was pretty cool when your dad made you a shandy!
Now that I have my own family, we have kept those traditions alive but we have also added a couple.
A Christmas Eve Box is something I place under the tree for my son. In it I include a chocolate, a christmas movie that can be watched on Christmas Eve, some christmas themed PJ's or a pillowcase, some sticker's and a snow globe. They are all individually wrapped in the box and it makes it so exciting to get to open a present before christmas day.
Building a gingerbread house is something fun to do with kids. They love to eat the lollies along the way and play christmas carol's while were building it. It doesn't matter if it doesn't work out! Check out this idea to just place a dinosaur in it so it looks like the dinosaur has destroyed it (parenting hack!). Perfect idea to include the dinosaur if you have little boys anyway!

As a mum, I think it's important to reflect on the year and also what your child has developed and learnt. We don't always get time to record these things and sometimes we miss milestones because hey, life is busy and were not perfect. So take two minutes and write your child a letter. Include things like what they have asked Santa for and what they have achieved that year. Keep them in a box so you can show them when they have kids of their own.
I could go on for longer but i'll leave it here. What are some traditions you have in your family?

Hello butterflies!
Welcome to BLOGMAS 15! YAY! Im so stoked that december is here and to get in the mood for it I have been preparing a series of post's. These have a range of topics from tradition's, parenting and craft's right through to beauty and well, you could call this fashion?
Im going to kick off with my top 5 christmas jumpers for this year. There are some beaut's out there!
1) DRAKE - Hotline Bling
You have probably seen the move's, heard the song and seen all the mockery from it but now you can wear it! My goal is to have my entire family posing in these jersey's. It probably wont happen as it is summer time here so we would die of the heat. I found this one on ebay here.
2) Darcey Snowflake and Raindeer Jumper
This gorgeous one is by boohoo and I actually quite like it! I think the white makes it look super comfy and it's not over crowded with detail. I probably would actually consider wearing this to my grandma's house on christmas day if the weather permitted! Check it here.
3) Missguided Merry Pugmas
Pug's are so cute and it seems like they are the latest accessory to have. This jersey is by popular brand Missguided and is a pretty cute jumper! Shop it here.
4) Star Dress
Ok, so technically not a jumper but its a dress. How cute would this be paired with stockings on a cold winters day or if your in the southern hemisphere you could even wear this when the sun starts to go down and temperatures begin to drop. I love it because it's different and stars are totally acceptable right!? Shop it here.
5) Elfie
We all love the christmas movie ELF and how cute is this! It's in the plus sized range from ASOS so finding a size to fit isn't going to be an issue. I love how cute this is! Shop it here.
Have you found any great Christmas jumpers that you would consider wearing this christmas? Do you have a 'Christmas day outfit' sorted?
