A Celebration

February was a big month for us this year with plenty of celebrations. My husband received his citizenship and then the following week was not only Valentine's Day but also our 4 year Wedding Anniversary on the 11th. We decided to hit the club in order to dance away our stress, have a couple of drinks and enjoy being with each other. It is not something we do alot, I have to be honest. We don't regularly have babysitters and we both feel like money is so tight that we would rather spend it on something other than alcohol. However the time does come every now and again where we throw caution to the wind, splurge a little and go wild.
I wore this Black River Island playsuit which I borrowed from my sister teamed with a black studded belt which came from a River Island maxi skirt I have. I wore these fab Aldo platforms which I adore. They are so comfortable and so easy to wear.

I wore my go to look of plenty of bronzer and tan with some Ardel lashes over a smokey eye, a nude lip and some gel extensions with white tips and a statement nail inspired by Valentines Day which I will do a post on separately. Unfortunately due to the rush we were in to leave the house I didn't get many pictures and my camera was on the wrong setting so these pictures aren't even that great but I guess, that's they way it goes.
I am sorry this post is only going up now but I literally forgot it was there, ready to go.

The Excitement Begins

My Christmas Excitement begins on December 8th. This is when I fish all my boxes and tree out of the shed in order to decorate my home. The tree goes up, the baubles, ribbon and lights are carefully placed in an orderly fashion and Santa graces my presence once more by taking up pride of place in front of my fire place (which doesn't contain a working fire). Candles are lit, lights twinkle and the Christmas Spirit once again fills my home. I am a Christmas Lover. It is my favourite time of the year. I love the magic! For as long as I can remember Christmas has always been a happy occasion and has been focused solely on the importance of family, love and just being together. Presents are just a happy bonus. This year while I decorated my house I played the new Michael Buble Christmas album which completely added to the vibe. I now cannot wait until the day itself for a few different reasons. This is the first year that Amina really understands the concept of Santa which has truly brought the magic back to the day. We will spend the day at my Mum's house with the family which I always love. Eating, drinking and laughing together, to me what it's all about. And I'm getting the boots I want ;)

 Are ya'll excited for Christmas this year? What are your Christmas Traditions?
