Christmas is literally around the  corner. All you last minute shoppers get some last minute deals for under £10. I've been on the look out for some bargains are these are the ones I have for you.  1. A4 Cinematic Light Box (£7.50) unisex A light box is one of the most amazing gift I personally could ask for. I feel it is unique as well as you can get it personalized. It's quite a unisex present as well so it can be gifted to anyone.   2. Harry Potter Hogwarts School Crest Notebook. (£8.00) I'm a massive harry potter fan I feel this would be one of the most perfect gifts. If you know someone who is a massive potter fan or they love there stationary this is the gift for them. I feel that the crest is just beautiful and it stands out amazing on the front of the book. 3. Real Techniques Fresh Face Favorites (£7.99) My favorite Brushes to use are the Real Techniques brushes. Bringing out a limited edition set is just amazing,  I love...

Christmas buying for others I feel can be quite challenging. This year I  wanted to give back to people for being super supportive and gift them with things I feel they would love. Whether your buying for yourself your loved ones or that someone special there is something for everyone. I do not own this photo 1.  Soap & Glory Hello Super Spa (£15) This gift is so perfect for those ladies who love a good pampering. I saw this in boots a couple of weeks ago and actually got this for my mum as I know she is going to love this. The smell of soap and glory is just pure divine.  This retails for £15 which i feel is a great value for money.  In the set you get: Soap & Glory righteous better 2 in 1 (250ml) Soap & Glory righteous butter (200ml) Soap & Glory sugar crush body wash (250ml) Soap & Glory mini scrub of your life (50ml) Soap & Glory mini face soap & clarity (50ml) Soap & Glory mini Sexy Mother Pucker in candy queen...

Sometimes getting outside is all you need to do. For myself i love to explore national parks and little parks that are full of nature, I visited Bryn Bach Park which is near ebbw Vale. This park is beautiful it has a massive lake. I always like visiting national parks and taking some really nice pictures. I like to post really nice instagrams with some of the photos I've taken  @heylucieanne  . if you want to see more of my photos follow me over there..... Here of some of the photos I took with a Cannon Rebel XTI 18-35mm lens.

The festive season brings a lot of food and drink that we can only eat around December time. Christmas is one of my faves especially when it comes to food. (I dont own any of these photos) 1. Mince Pies I think this is a very difficult one. Many people dont like them, some people love them. Well I like them but not the original mince pies I'm more like the type to like the iced mince pies. Mr Kipling are the best I mean there are other brands but these are the best ones. 2.Christmas Cake Every year Christmas cake is one of my favorite things to eat. The one from Asda is literally my favorite. It something I like to eat when I have a coffee and watching a Christmas movie. It's basically fruit cake but it got an extra bit of a christmasy taste with it. 3. Clementines I love oranges all year around. But there is something about clementines at Christmas they just taste amazing. I always buy a box/crate, I like to cook with them as well as they bring a differe...

This year I really wanted to decorate my room to be super festive. Most of the things im about to show you is from Asda, They have such amazing festive bits this year they are killing it. Other bits are from Home bargains and pound land. The Christmas tree is very Asda. It's the snowy white one that is only two ft high. Its such a perfect fit to the style in my room. The lights that are on the tree they aren't that great so i bought some start copper lights from primark. I'm in love with this christmas tree and I literally enjoy waking up and seeing it on my desk. The only thing thats annoying was when i first set it up the snow just kept falling off but it still looks beautiful.  This bedding is the cutest thing I've ever seen. Its from Asda it wasn't that expensive, It has little reindeer and Christmas trees on it which I think is super festive. The cushions are super festive and they are from asda aswell. I think that they really brin...

Every year dreaming of a white Christmas sometimes becomes something that you think isn't going to happen. Living here in the UK we dont normally see a white Christmas. We have been blessed with having a lot of snow which makes me super happy don't get me wrong but its annoying when you have to work and you want to have a snow day. I live quite deep into the welsh valleys so when it snows it means that we are cut off from the rest of the other towns around us as the weather gets really bad. In wales we always get a lot of snow I live close to beacon so you can imagine when it snow it makes everything look so much more beautiful.It was a winter wonderland........ If you had snow leave in the comments telling me how bad it was?? Love Lucy xox Here are some pictures of the bountifulness

Hello My Lovelies, So I was casually watching Gabriella (VelvetGh0st on youtube) and she was talking about the body shop Bath Bombs and bubble bars. I had to go to the body shop and try them right away. I'm a massive lush bath bomb person when I heard the body shop have bought a range out I was eager to try them. The Prices for these products they are only £1.50!!! Which is insane!!!! The first one I decided to pick up was the mango bath bomb. I'm a massive fan of the body shops mango range as its one of my favorite senses. This one is a bath bomb so its pretty much like the lush bath bombs. This one turns the water orange and it literally smells beautiful. It leaves your skin smelling insanely amazing and super soft.The shape is a flying saucer.  It fizzes away just like a normal bath bomb would. I love that you only need to use one you don't need to use two as there is enough for one bath.  The next one I picked up was the Coconut Bath bubble. I'...

Winter wonderland is an ic...

Hey My Lovelies!! The holiday season is in full swing. This can only mean one thing lots of Christmas parties and other events aswell. I popped into my local superdrug and boots and also primark beauty range too.  Lets get into it...... This month I was really looking to have a new mascara. I've just discovered the Maybelline lash sensational. I have two there is a bit of story about it, basically I went into superdrug and i was half asleep as it was first thing in the morning and I picked up the brown version of this didn't even think until I come to using it. But it must be said it still is amazing I now have the brown and black versions now. It makes my lashes look insane they look super long and voluminous. Its the best one i've tried in a long time.  I'm in love with the Maybelline color tattoos. I have the bronze one and the rose pink one as well. The bronze is one of my favorites. I needed a gold eye shadow that had a lot of pigment to do a look that ...

I own this photo Do you open any presents on Christmas Eve?   On Christmas Eve its a tradition for me and my mum to open a present from each other and its always matching PJ'S. Every year since I was 15 we have kept this tradition and thats the only present that I will open on Christmas eve. What holiday traditions are you looking forward to most this year? On Christmas Eve we always watch its a wonderful life as a family. Its been a tradition for about 3 years,my family will gather in the living room with popcorn and hot chocolate and watch the movie. Is your Christmas tree real or fake? My Christmas tree is actually fake, I've never really been into having a real one as I feel it needs a lot of maintenance and I'm not always home to make sure it all going okay and clean the mess up after it. What is your favorite Christmas film? My favorite Christmas movie, now this is a tough one. I love Elf it...
