Sophie's pretty, she's funny, she has lots of friends and she clearly loves her job as a photographer, despite the sometimes tricky clients. There's just one problem: Sophie has very firmly turned her back on love. It's nothing person, she tells Josh, but she just doesn't do dates. And no one - even Sophie's scatty best friend Tula - will tell him why. Josh is sure Sophie likes him, though, and he's just got to find out what's put her off romance. And then put things right...

Back home, things become more complicated than she ever could have imagined.

Goodbye & Hello

Last night we said Goodbye to 2013 and a Hello to 2014. I honestly can't believe it's January again.

While some of you are probably suffering from the hangover of all hangovers and are probably swearing never to drink again. (let's face it that will last 5 minutes) where as I spent my evening at home, extremely sober and brought the new year in with my dad. I sure know how to live.

But I was sitting there last night and had a reflection on what my year was like & I have to say it was pretty shit & I didn't accomplish anything I set out to do. But hopefully in 2014 that will change. This year will be my year because I'm going to make sure of it (I say that now but I doubt it's gonna happen) I hope to secure a full-time job and once I do there will be big changes happening. I'm super excited for a fresh start.

Of course with a new year means new resolutions (half of which will be broken by the end of the week) most of the time I set about making resolutions I have no intention of achieving. So instead of making a ton of them I thought I would do something different and do a monthly resolution.

Every month I will set myself 1 goal that I would like to achieve that month, it might not be something big but it's going to be something meaningful to me & I hope you will join me. Let me know in the comments what your resolution for Janaury is going to be. Not sure what mine will be yet but I will let you know in a couple of posts.

As for my blog you can expect some product reviews I have a ton I need to share with you all, of course there will be more book reviews including my first winter reading list and anything else that takes my fancy. You are all welcome to leave me requests on what posts you would like to see, I'm open to suggestions. 

-------------------------------------------

I hope you all had a brilliant new year and I wish you a happy 2014 and hope you will all make it your best year yet.

Till next time

XOXO

What I got for Christmas Haul 2013

Hiya

I am sad that Christmas is over with already, but I'm holding onto the Christmas spirit for as long as possible and thought I would do a Haul before Christmas is truly over with for another year. I am in no way bragging by showing what I got. I know there are a lot of people that enjoy these posts and I enjoy them just as much. So without further ado...

Clothes

This year I got quite a few items of clothing, most of them being cardigans or jumpers. The first two I got was these long stripy cardigans in the colours Blue & Grey. 

For the jumpers I got a Pink one with the word Geek on it and an baggy jumper that will keep me warm on those cold nights.

Books

I always get a ton of books for Christmas and this year was no different. First off I got Melissa Explains It All By Melissa Joan Hart, Teardrop By Lauren Kate, The Fault In Our Stars by John Green and The House of Hades By Rick Riordan. Super excited to begin reading these. I've done a seperate post on these books which you can read here :)

Candles

I'm literally obsessed with Candles at the moment that it's getting ridiculous lol I have so many that I need to burn. But I got a Yankee Candle in the scent Black Coconut which smells more like Christmas Cookie then it does Coconut. I also got a candle by Tempatations in the scent spiced wreath & cassis mistletoe which smells lovely.

Make Up

Seeing as I got into make up this year I got a set of eyeliner pencils in some gorgeous colours that I can't wait to try them out. They are by the brand Beauty Box and they are from Debenhams

Miscellaneous

I got an IPad cover that stands up in this pretty design which was from Ebay

I'm always stealing my mums umbrella so she decided to get me my own and I love it. It's got a star design as I love stars (I also have a star tattoo on my wrist) 

I got a drinking cup with a lid and straw as glasses don't hold that much juice so I'm forever refilling it so this is handy as it holds more. (It can hold a can & a half of 7up) I believe this one was from Matalan.

I also got a storage box with butterfly's on it, which allows me to store (duh) some things in it, which I am now storing my scarves in. The box is from Tescos

Both my parents got me a stuff toy as stocking fillers. From my mum got me the Otter which is called Mack & my dad got me the tiger one which I just named tiger (you can tell a lot of thought went into picking that name). The tiger one is from Tescos and I'm unsure where the Otter one came from.

From my Sister-in-law I got the latest Jack Dee DVD.

From my brother I got a perfume and this year I got DNA by Police which smells pretty damn nice, it also stays on your skin for a loooong time.

Sort of a stocking filler I got a 2014 diary which I'm sure I could fill with useless information. Also from Tescos.

AND

I also got some gift cards for Primark which is my favourite shop ever. And also money but I haven't taken pictures of them as I'm sure you all know what it looks like. I will also do another haul once I've spent them.

-----------------------------------------

I hope you enjoyed this post. I'm extremely thankful for everything I received and am in no way showing off.

What did you get for Christmas?

Till next time

XOXO

Debbie.
