Guest Post - Letter to Santa from Emma

Dear Santa,

2017 has been a tough year for many reasons. Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year and I hope that it brings some much cheer and joy to our lives.

On my beauty wishlist this year is Benefit’s Porefessional Matte. I love this product and use it everyday. My bottle is getting a bit low so a new one for christmas would be fab. I am also wishing for a new Roller Lash Mascara (benefit), I just finished a tube of this. It’s great for everyday use and I was gutted when it ran out.  My final beauty product on my wishlist is Clinique’s Line Smoothing concealer. This has the perfect coverage for both under eye and blemishes without looking cake.

This year there are a few books on my wishlist but there are 3 I really hope to see under my tree this year. The first is Karen Swan's new book The Christmas Secret. I have been a big fan of Karen Swan’s books since I read Christmas at Tiffany’s in 2012. The next is After You by Jojo Moyes. I read Me Before You quite a while ago and while it made me sob I really enjoyed it. I really want to see how Louise is doing now. The third is Paige Toon’s final book in her YA series All about the Hype. I am a huge fan of Paige’s work and I love her YA series too. The first two books were excellent and I really want to find out how Jessie’s story ends.

Thank you for listening to my wishlist and Merry Christmas!

Lots of Love

The Twelve Words of Christmas – Pudding by Emma P.

Pudding

by Emma P. 

Christmas is my absolute favourite time of year. I love everything about it so when I heard that Simona was planning some posts around the 12 Words of Christmas I had to be involved.

My chosen word is Pudding. Now I have been a little bit cheeky here and decided that this includes all types of pudding that you would eat at Christmas not just Christmas Pudding.

I love food and if I could eat all day and not get fat I honestly would, but my favourite part of a meal is dessert. I have a very sweet tooth.

I grew up in a large household with very fussy eaters so at Christmas there were always a variety of deserts available. There was always a Christmas Pud, a Yule Log and Mince Pies. There was obviously a variety of accompaniments such as custard, double cream, and brandy butter to name a few.  Being a pretty indecisive person I would always want a bit of everything so my desert bowl would have a piece of Christmas pud, a mince pie a bit of yule log and a huge helping of cold custard. I would of course feel thoroughly sick after but every year I do the same.
