Blogmas Day 25: Merry Christmas from 5000 miles away!

A very merry Christmas from 5000 miles away!! I hope you are all eating too much already and opened all the presents on your wish lists!

Blogmas Day 24: Christmas Eve Flight to Hong Kong

It is Blogmas Day 24!! Christmas Eve!! When I first thought about doing Blogmas, it seemed such a challenging idea and I was thinking "will I be able to do it?" Coming up with a topic daily and actually getting down to do it are very different. But here we are!! The end is in sight! My last blogmas post will be tomorrow on Christmas Day.

Blogmas Day 23: Homeland 3 Finale

Blogmas Day 22: Derren Brown: The Specialist

Image from Channel 4/ 4 on Demand website Last night after finished watching Strictly Come Dancing on BBC1 (Did you watch too? I am such a big fan of the show!!), I wasn't quite ready to go to bed yet, and I suddenly remembered that I haven't yet caught up with the Derren Brown: The Specialist show on Channel 4, which was aired on Friday, but I missed it because I went to the Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park (which was brilliant! You can catch my blog post here ).

Blogmas Day 21: Winter Wonderland Hyde Park 2013

Last night Scott and I went to Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park. As Scott put it, going to Winter Wonderland has become our Xmas tradition. No, it is not London Eye.

Blogmas Day 20: A Little Book Lamp: Last minute gift idea for book lovers

It is Blogmas Day 20! Not long now til Xmas! Yay! That also means there aren't that many days left to get your Xmas shopping sorted! I have a last minute gift idea for book lovers! Well, yes, I know, it is a bit random...

Blogmas Day 19: The Mighty Oils: Kiehls and Pai

As we are deeper into the winter, indoor heating is up, our skin getting drier. I have been trying out two famous night facial oils at the moment. They both get high praise from beauty bloggers, but before I tried them, I always wonder which one should I get or is it worth to get both?

Blogmas Day 18: December Birchbox *SPOILER ALERT*

*SPOILER ALERT* If you are waiting for your Birchbox and want to keep the surprise til then, please look away NOW ( only showing the box cover as a teaser, hee hee.. ). Otherwise, please read on.... I have subscribed to Birchbox for a few months now.  I don't normally blog about my box because I can never decide when is a good time to reveal my box. Too early, it will ruin the surprises to other people; too late, the post becomes not relevant anymore. However, since it is Blogmas and I basically document about my December life ( well, mainly my purchases ), so I am doing this quick post as I just received my box yesterday.

Blogmas Day 17: Party on my fingers

Excuse my very short nails and my dry fourth finger (Nothing seems to be working on my dry cuticles at the moment, arrrgh!) The polish is very reflective to light If you don't wear sparkly nails in Xmas, then when? Recently, I have been loving the Maybelline Color Show Brocades in Knitted Gold.

Blogmas Day 16: Too Faced All I Want for Christmas set

Blogmas Day 10: Rick Stein Live Show 9th December 2013

I couldn't believe it when Rachel Phipps tweeted me to say "Congratulations Georgina! You are the winner of my Rick Stein Live giveaway ! Please email me." I remembered I was crossing a busy road while glancing my down my phone ( I know, I should never do that again ), I was stunned and almost stopped in the middle of the road!

Blogmas Day 9: Office Beauty Essentials

Blogmas Day 9, it's Monday. A fresh start to the working week... boo.. I work in an office, a law firm, it is a real office. Never-ending paperwork, never-ending phone calls... It could be so depressed. I keep a small bunch of essentials by my computer to help me getting through the days.

Blogmas Day 8: Sleeping Aid

With the stress that I have been feeling lately (Check out yesterday's post about my favourite on-the-go Stress Relief Aid ), falling asleep has becoming a problem too. It takes me a long time to fall asleep, and I would wake up in the middle of the night as well. So I have been looking for products that would help my bedtime routine.

Blogmas Day 7 : My favourite Lush Hair/Shower Combo: Lush Rose Jam and Lush Grass

I am a huge shower gel fan, so I always look for new shower gel to try out. In the world of Lush, apart from bath bombs, they have some amazing gels too! My favourite of in the bunch are Grass and Rose Jam.

Blogmas Day 6: On-The-Go Stress Relief Aid

Blogmas Day 6! And it is friday!! Yay!!! I have been quite stressed lately... stressful at work, competing and battling on the trains... (why there seem to be so many more people everywhere recently?!) So I have been looking for some on-the-go stress relief solution to keep me calm whenever I needed. Here are my two current favourites:

Blogmas Day 5: Dior Creme de Rose Lip Balm

The rumour IS TRUE! Dior Cream de Rose Lip Balm works magic! It is worth £20 for the decent size pot! For a long time, I was just like all the other beauty bloggers and YouTubers… I have all sorts of lip balms already, do I REALLY need another one? Yes, it's from Dior, but it is £20!! £20 for a lip balm? Really??

Blogmas Day 4: Meeting Lily Pebbles & Anna at Kiehl's Meetup

Last night I went to Kiehl's at Covent Garden to meet Lily Pebbles and Anna . They were hosting an evening at Kiehl's heaven, sharing their all time favourite Kiehl's products.

Blogmas Day 3: Sparkly Trio for Parties

We are in December and the party season has officially started! All the work-do, friends gathering & girls night out must be filling up your diary thick and fast! With the amazing party dress and flawless makeup, you need some extra sparkles to brighten and lift the whole look. Today, I have three different textures of eye/body glitter to make sure you will sparkle in the parties!

Blogmas Day 2: A very Harry Xmas! Visiting the Harry Potter Studio
