The Christmas Tag

I've found myself feeling particularly festive recently.. So when I spotted The Christmas Tag popping up around the blogging world, I knew it was something I needed to try for myself here on Small and Blonde... After all, who doesn't love a Festive post?!

1.- What are your favourite Christmas movies?

Oh my gosh.. there are so many! Elf, Home Alone, Love Actually, The Holiday, The Grinch, A Muppet's Christmas Carol, Arthur Christmas, Disney's A Christmas Carol, The Snowman, The Santa Clause.. and many, many more. A month really isn't long enough to try & squeeze them all in. 

2.- Do you open your presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning?

Always Christmas morning.. I know some families open one present on Christmas Eve but this was just never something we've ever done. In fact - even at 16 & 23 years old - the presents for my sister & I don't get put under the tree until after we're asleep - always keeping the magic alive. 

3.- Do you have a favourite Christmas memory?

I have so many amazing Christmas memories, but my favourite(s) probably have to be watching my sisters get so excited when they walk into the living room on Christmas morning & realise that Father Christmas has been.

4.- Favourite festive food?

If I had to pick one it would probably be pigs in blankets (little sausages wrapped in bacon for any who don't know). Traditionally these are only served on Christmas Day which makes them even more special.

5.- Favourite Christmas scent?

Living in Birmingham, I love the mixture of smells that come from the Christmas German Market each year. Nuts, mulled wine, sausages, cinnamon, Christmas trees... perfect. 

6.- What tops your tree?

I technically have two trees. One in my flat & one at my mum's house. In the flat we have a star on top of our tree that was kindly gifted to us & at my mum's we have a angel. The best of both worlds.  

7.- As a child, what was the one extravagant gift you always asked for but never received?

I'm going to sound really boring now.. but I honestly don't remember ever asking for any overly extravagant as a child. 

8.- What is the best thing about Christmas for you?

The best thing about Christmas for me is spending time with family. This is especially true now that I live an hour away from my parents & siblings, so it's always nice to be reunited. 

I hope you enjoyed this tag - let me know what you love most about Christmas in the comments.

Furry Friends Tag: Fizz

After seeing this the Furry Friends Tag on a few different blogs, I couldn't resist giving it a ago. After all - how could I be a self proclaimed "crazy cat lady" without taking the opportunity to write about my Fizz?

Ahh she's such a cutie!

1) What is your pet’s name?

Fizz - named by my sister during a phase which involved a love for the Tweenies (who remembers those odd children characters?!)

2) What kind of pet is it and what breed?
She's a kitty-cat and I think she's a mix of tabby and tortoiseshell 

3) How long have you had your pet friend?

Oooh roughly 9 or 10 years now I think.. So she's definitely a member of the family now.

4) How did you get your pet?

I popped home quickly one weekend before going on a day trip & saw a tin of cat food on the window sill. For some reason I jumped to the conclusion that my mum was feeding a stray (I have no idea why as she doesn't do this) but when I walked into the living room, there was a teeny tiny little grey kitten sitting nervously behind a plant pot... Welcome Fizz!

5) How old is your pet?

We've had her since she was about 6 weeks old... so about 9/10 now in human years - I'm not sure what that is in kitty years though.. 

6) What are some quirky things about your pet’s personality?

I'd say for a cat, Fizz has quite a big personality. 

She get's moody sometimes. An example is when people come to visit & she decides that they've been their too long. Usually she'll lay on the carpet happily (as you can see above) but if Fizz is annoyed with us she'll sit with her back to us and ignore everyone. 

On the flip side - she's become very loving/almost needy in her older age. When she was a kitten I'm sure Fizz thought she was definitely more of a lion then a cat. She would pretend to be asleep on the floor and then pounce and attack your feet as you walked past.. She was 100% not a lap cat ... however now - especially if my mum goes away & I house sit - she'll come and snuggle up on your lap. 

She also seems to hate  being left in a room if you're near by - so she'll come wander into the kitchen or into the garden so she isn't alone. 

Finally, as you can see in a photo above, she sometimes does what we call her "meerkat impression". This includes sitting up on her back legs, which usually happens when someone's at the door & she wants to take a peak to see who it is - or if she simply wants to stretch after a long nap.

7) What does your relationship with your pet mean to you?
I personally think a home isn't complete without a pet, so I'm not ashamed to say that Fizz is a very important part my family. 

8) What are some of your favourite past times with your pet?
I don't think there's too many activities you can do with a cat - but as we're not allowed to have pets in our flat, Fizz lives with my mum - so when I love to sit and give her a good fuss when I make a trip back home. 

Also she's a little on the tubby side (as you can probably tell) so rarely gets treats... I love to treat her to some kitty-cat treats (she goes wild for those dreamies treats - honestly never seen the little porker move so fast!) or a little bit of ham etc. 

*Side Note* I know this isn't healthy so she doesn't get the treats a lot! *

9) What are the nicknames that you call your pet?

Fizz-Wizz
I have no idea where this came from & it's not the most original nick-name but it seems to have stuck over the years. 

Probably only having fusses so I'd feed her those Dreamies...

Although I'm sure some people won't understand this post and think "it's just a cat" - but she's been around for roughly 10 years now & to me is a furry little part of the family. 

(I know, I know - crazy cat lady in the making!)

I tag anyone who wants to take part in this...

The British Tag

I've seen this Tag floating around the Youtube and Blogging world for a few months now and - seeing as I'm British - thought it would a fun thing to take part in.

So here we go... 

1. How many cups of tea do you have a day and how many sugars?

Oh dear. This isn't a good question to start off with. I know I'm going to sound like the worst British person ever... but I just don't like tea. *queue everyone gasping in horror and disbelief* I know, I know. It's such a British stereotype and I wish I could drink it but I just don't like the taste. Maybe I'll try some different fruit teas and then I can half jump on the tea bandwagon? If not, pass me the hot chocoalte! 

 2. Favourite part of your roast?

It's either got to be Yorkshire Puddings or Pigs In Blankets... Pigs In Blankets are generally only a Christmas thing, I'd say they're my ultimate favourite as it's always something to look forward to (as if there wasn't enough to be excited about at Christmas). But for every other month throughout the year, it's got to be Yorkshire Puddings with lots & lots of gravy! 

 3. Favourite dunking biscuit?

Now this might sound odd, but ever since I was little I've always loved dunking ginger biscuits into milk... I could easily work my way through half a packet (who am I kidding, whole packet) of these biscuits if there's a glass or two of milk to go with them. 

4. Favourite quintessentially British pass time?

Going for lunch in a countryside pub. Despite living in a city now, I'm a country girl through and through. So there's nothing I love more than going to a traditional British Pub for lunch and a drink. Especially if it's during the summer and I can sit outside, enjoy my drink (probably cider.. keeping with the Britishness) and soak up the limited amount of sun we see here.  

 5. Favourite British word?

Hmm this is a tough one. Trying to think of all the things I say & what words are British is actually quite hard. One word that I think does sound very British though is the work Bloody. Not in the sense of the red stuff that flows through our veins.. but used to exaggerate something. Examples include; "That's Bloody Brilliant"... "Oh Bloody Hell"... I always just imagine it being said in a thick British accent.

 6. Cockney rhyming slang?

Cockney rhyming slag is a London thing.. so as a country girl we it's not something I'd use. However the stereotypical Cockney Rhyming Slang I (& pretty much everyone else) know would be things like; Apple & Pairs - Stairs... Dog & Bone - Phone etc etc. 

 7. Favourite sweet?

Hmm I'm much more of chocolate lover opposed to sweets.. but if there are a few traditional sweets that I'd pick every time. These include childhood favourites like; pear drops, sherbet lemons and dib dabs ... but my favorite is probably rhubarb and custard sweets. Yummmmm. 

 8. What would your pub be called?

Knowing me I'd probably want to call my pub something girly and cute.. but I'm not sure people would come if it was too much.. So I think I'd have to tone it down and call my pub something like.. "The Kitten and String" ... (As you can see I'm not the best with names, it took me long enough to name this blog!) 

 9. No.1 British person?

How can you choose just one?! There have been/are so many great British people across all areas of work.. Winston Churchill, David Attenborough,  J K Rowling, William Shakespeare, Florence Nightingale, David Tenant, Princess Diana, Stephen Hawkins, Emma Watson, Benedict Comberbatch,... and so many more. It's impossible to narrow this down.. As a nation, I think we have some pretty great people! 

 10. Favourite shop/restaurant?

Now I love the traditional British shops like Selfridge's, but if we're talking about a shop that I buy things from regularly, it would have to be the old faithful New Look. I'd have to say a large portion of my cloths/shoes/accessories come from New Look as it's a brand that rarely lets me down. My favourite British restaurant would have to be either Miller and Carter (a gorgeous stake house) or, a restaurant I'm loving right now,  The Slug and Lettuce - a chain of bars across the UK that serve the yummiest burgers (they also serve 2 for 1 cocktails on Fridays.. Don't mind if I do). Otherwise, as I said earlier, it's got to be either a good old pub lunch or fish and chips. 

 11. What British song pops into your head?

Hmm the first two British song that pop straight to my head would have to be "All you need is love" by the Beatles and Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. I don't think you can really get more traditionally British than the Beatles and Queen. However more modern British songs that pop to mind include, Mumford & Sons - Little Lion Man, Ellie Goulding - Burn and Oasis - Wonderwall. 

 12. Marmite?

Nope. Nope. Nope. It's not that I hate Marmite (I know, I know - "You either, love it or you hate it) but I just think there's something weird about the taste... and weird taste isn't usually something I look for in a food.

Hope you enjoyed this post.. It definitely made me feel pretty patriotic and proud to be British.

5 Photos that make me happy -Tag

I'm sure by now you've seen this latest craze floating around Facebook and even on a few blogs.. If you haven't the idea is you post five - or however many you can whittle it down too - photos that make you happy each time you see them.

I thought this was such a lovely idea and was genuinely happy when a friend of mine tagged me to join in. But I didn't want to limit this to Facebook and thought this would make a cute blog post.

I'll be honest and say there was no way I could limit my photo selection to just five, so in the end I settled for ten - I know, I know.. just a few over. But oh well, I wanted to include everyone close to me.

Here are my five (ish) photos that make me happy:

 Christmas & Fizz the cat                                      Family                      

Lovely uni girls                                                 baby sister

Best friends from school                                   Throwing the caps

21st Birthday celebrations x                        Two favourites from uni

      Reunited at graduation                      Feeling merry after a few to many

I tag everyone who wants to join in with this!

Top Ten Tag!

So I stumbled across a comment from the lovely TashEmily on my Autumn Winter New Look wishlist (which you can read by clicking here.. teehee cheeky). Within this comment was the mention of the fact that I'd been nominated to do the "Top Ten Tag".

I love being nominated to do different "tags" as it provides an excuse to write something a little different plus it allows me to interact with people from different blogs - which is always fun! 

So.. here we go! 

Rules: Copy and paste everything written in Bold - and state which is your favourite of the make-up items below. 

This Tag was created by Jessica Vannan at Pretty Chit Chat (Click here to view her blog.. It's amazing) 

I was tagged by TashEmily, the creator of A World Full of Wonders - if you havent already, check out her blog by clicking here. It's adorable! 

Finally, I would like to nominate Holly over at Empfire- again, you can visit her gorgeous blog by clicking here (after reading this first though of course haha)

Now most of the products I'm going to mention are the ones I'm currently using and therefore are my current favourites -  What I would consider to be my favourite product does change dependant on things such as weather, the occsasion and just generally how I'm feeling.. But anyway, enough of my rambling and back to the Tag!  

1. Foundation: 
I am currently loving the Max Factor Whipped Creme Foundation. I have this in the shade 40 (light ivory) and find it provides a lovely coverage that is easily build-able. I also find a small amount of this product goes a relatively long way, which is perfect if you're trying to save some pennies!

Source

2. Powder: 
Now if I'm perfectly honest the power I use to set my foundation is not in anyway a pricey one. If you read my Face of the day, Lazy Sunday Make-up post (which you can read here if you like.. teehee oops) you'll know I use the MUA pressed powder. This powder is an absolute bargain at only £1 and does a pretty good job at keeping your make-up in place.

I'll admit, it isn't as great as some of the higher end powder, but for £1 you can't really ask for more! So this is definitely a current favourite.

Source

3. Concealer: 
My favourite concealer of the moment is definitely the Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer (shock I know, this product is all over the Blogging and YouTube world). Now I wouldn't say I usually jump on product bandwagons, but when my previous concealer ran out *sobs quietly* I decided to finally give this product a try... It's safe to say I was not disappointed!

Rimmel's Wake Me Up concealer has made it's way into this list as I find it offers a perfect amount of cover up for any blemishes or dark circles - I've been able to test this out a fair bit this month as my skin has been preeeetty awful, so thanks skin!.

It's also perfect for those days where you either don't want, or can't be bothered with a full face of make-up.  

Source

4. Blusher: 5. Bronzer: 6. Highlighter: 
I've decided to combine numbers 4, 5 & 6 together as the Blusher, Bronzer and Highlighter I love comes as a palette, and I think it would be pretty boring to read about the same thing three times!

My current favourite Blush, Bronzer and Highlighter currently come from the Sleek Face Form kit. I adore this palette and it is definitely a staple within my make-up collection.

The bronzer offers a beautifully pigmented shade for contouring that isn't too dark and can be easily blended. In addition to this, Sleek's highlighter compliments the bronzer perfectly when highlighting  areas of the face such as the bridge of your nose or upper cheeks.

Finally, I find the blusher in this palette offers just the right amount of colour to my cheeks. It adds a light pinky colour - which I add to the apples of my cheeks - whilst avoiding looking either strangley sunburnt or just plain sweaty - eew.

Source

7. Mascara:
My current favourite mascara is one by the Boots brand No7. Since working everyday I don't want to use anything to heavy duty on my eyelashes - would probably look a tad unprofessional - so I've been using this as it offers a lovely natural look whilst still defining my eyelashes.

Source

8: Eye Shadow: 

Hmmm I've been thinking and thinking about this, and whilst there are eye shadows that I love, I'm not really wearing any at the moment so I don't think it would be fair to include something as a "favourite" that I'm not actually using much!

I am looking to invest in some of the eyes shadow sticks soon, so I may write a review!

9: Brows: 
I've recently started having my eye-brows tinted now at a salon when I have them waxed/threaded (Ouch) so I'm not sure if I can count this as a "favourite"... Although I have loved having tinted eyebrows. It was a slight shock at first - as I have blonde hair and the dye came up VERY dark, but over the course a few days it's began to fade, thank-god! I've found it a lot easier to maintain my eye-brows since having them tinted as they're pretty much always in shape.. All I do in the mornings now is comb them into shape!

I do need to invest in some setting gel though, as having darker eyebrows now means it's alot more noticeable when certain hairs go AWOL!

However, when the eyebrow dye has faded or when I decide to just have them waxed only - I use Rimmel's Professional Eyebrow Pencil in shade 002 - Hazel to add a little more shape and definition to my eyebrows.

Source

10: Lip Product: 
My current favourite lip product comes from Rimmel's Kate Moss lipstick range. I brought one of these lipsticks recently in the shade 08 for my graduation ceremony.

This shade is a lovely dark Nude which is perfect for when you don't want a bright colour on your lips, but still want a little something. I also think this lipstick will be perfect for the upcoming Autumn/Winter months when paired with some brighter coloured clothing or bolder eye-makeup!

Source

I hope you've enjoyed this little insight into my make-up collection!
If anyone has any recommendations for any products let me know, I'm always looking for an excuse to buy new make-up!

Liebster Award.

At around midnight yesterday my email pinged to say I had a new comment on one of my blog posts - which is exciting in its self. However this comment was from the lovely TashEmily over at A World Full of Wonders  - if you haven't already, check out her blog - it's adorable - nominating me for the Liebster Award. 

Source

I've seen this floating around the blogging world and I think it's pretty well known, but if you haven't heard of it these are the rules: 

• You must answer all questions that are given to you 
• You must link back to the person who nominated you 
• When you finish this, you must nominate eleven bloggers who have less than 200 followers
• Provide your nominees with eleven questions of your choice
• You cannot nominate the person who nominated you 
• You must inform your nominees that you have nominated them 
• Provide your nominees with a link to your post for more information

So... The questions given to me are: 

If you could describe your blog in one word what would it be?
I would have to say "chatty" - I think most of my posts are generally just me chatting - but instead of talking, I'm writing. This may not make as much sense to anyone who may read this as it does in my mind... But yeah.. Chatty. Haha. 

Favourite clothing shop?
Umm.. At the moment I would probably say... Forever 21. I love the range of pretty and girly clothes they have on offer and the prices are student friendly too (Bonus!)

What was the last book you read?
I have recently finished reading "Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy" by Helen Fielding. After having this one my shelf for ages, I finally got around to reading this. Personally, I really enjoyed this book. It's easy to read and perfect for some bed time or on the beach reading. 

Who is your idol/inspiration?
I'm not sure if I really have an idol as such - But someone who inspires me is my mum (a little cheesy I know haha). But she really always has and does everything she can to support me (even if I'm just calling for a rant over nothing in particular) - and is always there to offer me honest advice.

Biggest phobia?
Now I have a couple of phobias but my biggest one - which I'll just warn you may sound a little odd - is a Zombie Apocalypse. The thought of Zombies or a Zombie apocalypse honestly terrifies me... I'm a huge fan of The Walking Dead (best show ever)  but watching it (or anything else zombie related for that matter) honestly gives me nightmares.. and yes I am 22 haha! In fact my fear is so huge that sometimes when I'm out and about I try and plan what I'd do if a zombie was to appear - crazy I know. 

Are you more likely to scream or laugh on a roller-coaster?
100% scream. I don't really like roller-coaster as I'm scared of heights so I would definitely be screaming a lot.. and possibly crying haha. 

Favourite T.V show?
As previously mentioned my favourite T.V show is by far The Walking Dead. Despite my huge fear of Zombies and not usually liking anything gory I LOVE this show. I have the first 3 seasons on DVD, am waiting for the 4th of cannot wait for the 5th to be aired.. If you haven't seen it... Go and watch it right now! 

Source

Something you're looking forward to in the future?
Ooh there are lots of things I'm looking forward too.. but one thing I would chose is the point when I can (hopefully) have a little kitten of my own.. (hello crazy cat lady) and a puppy too. 

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
I think everyone usually has a few things they'd like to change about themselves - even just teeny tiny things - but (without going into too much detail putting a downer on this post) I suffer with anxiety when in a situation I'm not comfortable with. It's not a massive issue and I know there are loads of people who suffer much worse - but it's enough to stop me from doing things I'd like to - especially those including travel or places I'm not familiar with. So I would take that away if I could. 

If you could only visit one place in the world - and then never leave your town/city again - where would you go?
Ooh this is a tough one... There are so many places I'd love to visit. If I had to narrow it down, I think it would have to be America. I've been to Florida previously, but I would love to road-trip around the of the the USA. 

Source

What is the most important possession you own?
I'm not 100% if this counts as more than one possession - but I'd say the photos I have printed out is my most important possession(s). I love looking  back at the memories and think they're perfect to look at when feeling a little low. 

Thanks to TashaEmily for nominating me - I really enjoyed writing this and feel it's a good way to interact with other bloggers.

1. Cara from #lifeshaketogo
2. Amy from Amy In Wonderland

The Disney Tag

Although I wasn't technically tagged to do this by anyone in particular, I absolutely love Disney so couldn’t resist doing this tag after reading other posts on it. However my love for all things Disney, along with the fact that I’m awful at decision making, made it very hard to pick my favourites! I decided that I had to just think about Disney Films and not Pixar as I’d probably be up all night trying to narrow everything down!

Question 1: Favourite Disney film?
My favourite Disney film changes from time to time, and as much as I love Frozen and Tangled, I don’t want to be too obvious and chose one of them as my favourite films (even though they’re definitely both up there). So for my favourite film, I’m going to choose Disney’s Alice in Wonderland. The film’s so wonderfully weird and I love Alice’s character along with how she reasons with herself and characters whilst on her adventure. One of my favourite quotes from the film is “I give myself very good advice, but I very seldom follow it” and I feel everyone can relate to this. As well as this, I love the songs, strange characters and (although only featuring briefly) Alice’s pet cat Dinah.

Question 2: Favourite Disney Character?
I really don’t think I can narrow this down… There are so many amazing characters to choose from. I tend to love the funny secondary character/sidekick, such as Pasqual, Olaf, Mushu, Pumba and Sabastian… But I’m also a massive girly-girl in the sense that I love the princesses and girly characters – Belle, Aurora, Merida and Jasmine - the list is endless! If I HAD to narrow it down - (again not taking Pixar into account as my poor brain would go into overload) – I’ve always had a massive soft spot for Figaro from Pinocchio (Crazy cat lady out in full swing haha). As it says at the top of my blog, I love anything cat related… So to those who know me, this probably isn’t much of a surprise haha.

Question 3: Which Disney character would be your best friend?
I know it’s probably cheating but I feel these two would probably come together so therefore count as one… (That’s my logic anyway). So my Disney best friend(s) would be Anna and Olaf from Frozen. Anna is so funny, independent and knows what’s most important to her (she don’t need no man – he’s just a nice bonus that comes along at the end). I also imagine Olaf to be the best friend ever. He was willing to melt for Anna (could he be any more loyal?) plus he’s loves summer and hugs… Perfect!

Question 4: Would you rather be Aurora or Cinderella?

Hmm… as much as I love both of these princesses I think I’d chose to be Aurora. Aurora has lots of little animal friends, three magical fairies to look after her, gets a nice long sleep (and her friends/family sleep too so there’s no missing out on anything) and then gets her Prince Charming. I know Cinderella has little mice/bird friends and gets a fairy godmother, but it’s the whole evil stepmother thing that’s putting me off… Plus I’m awful at cleaning so I’m sure my life would have been even worse!

Question 5: Would you rather be Hercules or Tarzan?
Although Tarzan does have lots of animal friends (which means he can speak the languages of animals and humans) and gets to swing around on vines in the jungle all day (which is pretty cool) I think I’d go with Hercules. Hercules has a flying horse as a pet/best friend, which was ridiculously cute as a pony, is super strong and is also the son of Greek Gods. What more could you want?! Oh I know, to live in a lovely warm country – check… Hello Greece.

Question 7: Favourite Disney Song?
Disney has so so many amazing songs, and I must admit I love to sit and sing along to them whilst doing bits and bobs. My favourite song would probably be “Just around the river-bend” from Pocahontas. I love singing along to this (admittedly awfully but oh well) and the lyrics are great for every Disney lover to listen to, young and old alike.

Question 8: Favourite Disney Princess & why?
I love so many of the Disney princesses; Ariel, Belle, Pocahontas, Jasmine, Tiana, and Merida just to name a few. I think at the moment I’m torn between Elsa and Rapunzel. I’ve already chosen Anna/Olaf as my best-friend(s) so I think I’m going to go with Rapunzel as my favourite princess. I know I share this choice with my youngest sister too, so that makes it a little more special. Rapunzel is so different to the other princesses. I guess this is down to the modern twist Disney has taken. She’s smart, funny and if I’m honest, I’m a little jealous of her amazing hair!
*Side-note: I still love Elsa – she’s independent, has cool powers and cares a lot about her family/friends.*

Question 9: Which Disney character would be your pet?
I love so many of the Disney animals, Marie for the Aristocrats, Pegasus from Hercules and Sven from Frozen but I think I would have Meeko from Pocahontas as my pet. He’s funny, inquisitive and adorable. Plus (added bonus) he can braid hair like a pro! Perfect for those lazy days when doing your hair is far too much effort.

Question 10: Ever been to Disneyland? 
I’ve been lucky enough to visit both Disney Land in Paris and Disney World in Florida. I visited the Paris park a few times when I was younger and once again when I was in my second year of Sixth form as part of our Media A-level course (Disney + friends = lots of fun!). I also went to Florida when I was about 11 with my family for a couple of weeks which was amazing!
