A. Red, Green, Gold and Silver!
Q. Have you ever built a gingerbread house?
A. No, I really want to though. I think it would be super cute.
Q. Do you still have an advent calender?
A. YES! of course I do. I've not got one this year as I'm super fussy and don't actually eat the chocolate inside, so my mum got me a little tub of Quality Street and is going to give me one everyday! Haha, I sound about 5!
Q. Favourite Christmas Meal Or Treat?
A. I don't really like Christmas dinner! I'm strange, I know but my favourite Christmas treat has to be the big tins of chocolates!

A. Early November, woops ;-)
Q. Talk us through your typical Christmas Day?
A. I'm usually the first awake, I get told off every year for waking up at 5am.. So I usually wake up, check my phone put on Gavin and Stacey Christmas special or the panto TV showing on ITV2 (see I know it all off by heart.. it happens every year!) Then when I've convinced everyone to wake up we go into my mum and dads room, we open our stocking presents and then we go downstairs and open our main presents as we call them.. then get ready and my nan comes round and we have Christmas dinner and then my auntie and uncle come round to give us our presents and we all usually just drink and watch some Christmas trash tv!
Q. What do you eat for Christmas Dinner?
A. Turkey, Stuffing, Pigs in blankets, roast potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, vegetable etc. The usual!!

A. I have a whole Spotify Playlist if you want to take a peek.. Search: robynpugh2 on spotify!
Q. Real or fake Christmas tree?
A. Fake! I can't be dealing with all the pine needles on the floor!
Here's my first Christmas Gift Guide of the season. Christmas is right around the corner (5 more weeks!!) and I think its the perfect time for everyone to start their shopping! I know how tricky it can be shopping for women so I've created this gift guide to give you some ideas.
Since I take triple art and I have a lot of spare time on my hands I thought I'd jazz up my wrapping instead of just boring brown paper! So here's how:
Find embellishments such as Red and Green buttons, jingle bells, ribbon, candy cane string etc. Use any sort of plain paper (Brown,White or Red) and twine!
Wrap the present then use your 'base' in this case - ribbon, candy cane string or twine. Check that whichever base you use fits around the present then cut. Sellotape or glue the your base to the present.
In my case I used the ribbon, if you have used ribbon you could add twine in the centre if you fancy it.
TA-DA! I added a luggage tag and some bells to this present, but you could add buttons or anything else you like. I hope this helped! :-) ♥
My Stocking Filler Gift Guide has one main rule and that is that it's under £5. As a family tradition we only ever put gifts that are under £5 in each others stockings, but enough of me rambling on about how much they cost - Lets get on with it!
My plan was to do a montly music favourite post every month but as you can see I haven't done one since October, which I'm sorry about but better late than never!
My first music montly favourite is MKTO - Classic to my knowledge it's been out a while but not been in the charts here in the UK. I found this song by browsing through 8tracks. I love the song it's so catchy. Give it a listen and let me know what you think.
When I was younger I was obsessed with FOB major, I don't particularly listen to them much anymore but when I stumbled across this song I automatically fell in love. I could listen to this song on repeat all day. Such a good song. 10/10 from me.
MICHAEL BUBLÉ - CHRISTMAS (BABY PLEASE COME HOME)
ONE DIRECTION - HAPPILY listen here I love One Direction so much they're just so cute! I couldn't resist having a listen to Midnight Memories and I've fallen in love with this song, so catchy. I listened to it once and I knew the lyrics straight away (probably because I'm such a fangirl for them) but take a listen and let me know what you think.
HOODIE ALLEN - EIGHTEEN COOL listen here Hoodie is such a great artist, I only really started listening to him because of JC (from O2L) he kept adding in about 10 second clips of his songs to make montages so I had to find the song - Thank goodness for top YouTube comments!
I'm starting a blog series called "wishing weekly" which is basically a shopping list weekly that I may or may not get but here we go.
~
The first item is the Cath Kidston Father Christmas jumper, it's so cute! It's a bit pricey but I love it and I'm not too sure I can resist, it's priced at £70.
The second item is Christmas Eve Yankee Candle. This year I've really started to love scented candles especially the warmer/spice scents (Autumn/Winter). I can't wait to get this.
The heeled Chelsea boots - Need I say anything?
The fourth and fifth items I will most definitely be purchasing, I love warm red. Matching nails and lips are so cute!
The last item on my first wishing weekly series is Daisy by Marc Jacobs. The smell is heavenly - I NEED it in my life.
