Secret Santa's can be a bugger to buy...
Price limits, not knowing the person well enough or having no clue where to even start!
But, there is also a lot of fun to be had in buying a Secret Santa gift! These are some of my top Secret Santa picks!
Some are unisex, but most are for women. I tend to go down the jokey route for men, as lets face it, they're impossible to buy for! Sorry boys...
The Body Shop Glazed Apple Treat Box // Daisy Floral Phone Case // Travelcard Wallet // Clinique Whole Lotta Chubby Gift Set // My Future Listography Book // Xmas Party Props // Retro Sweets // Selfie Stick // Funny Quote Tea Towel // Bunny Ring Holder // Molton Brown Tree Decoration Soap // iPhone Fish Eye Lens
With the most expensive item here being the 'Clinique Whole Lotta Chubby Gift Set' at £20 and the lowest being the Fish Eye Lens and Xmas Party Props at £5, these gifts are great for any lower budget for Secret Santa!
What are you thinking of purchasing?

IT'S VLOGMAAAAAAAS!
Vlogmas Week One is up!
I get ill, I go home for the weekend, I decorate the christmas tree and I catch up with one of my best friends!
A little thumbs up would be lovely! Any feedback is welcome, I'm still getting used to this vlogging thang!
Love, G

I am an absolute sucker for a christmas jumper.
Some are crazy colours, some have wacky patterns, some are more subtle, and lets face it some are so damn right awful that they're great!
These are my top high street picks that are around at the moment!
1 - This one is my absolute favourite! Sequin Christmas Tree Sweater from Topshop - £46. This was actually gifted to me by my best friend, Charlie for my birthday which was just the loveliest thing she could of done! I think it's the perfect subtle christmas jumper and can be worn with absolutely everything! It is unbelievably soft and comfy, I can't wait to wear it!
2 - This gorgeous number is from Marks and Spencer's! Embellished Sequin Bow with Bells Sweater - £25. Much like the Topshop Jumper, this is on the more subtle side... but it has bells on it! Seriously, actual jingle bells.
3 - This one is from ASOS, Christmas Jumper with Rudolph Scene - £20. Pretty pastels, with a cutesy Rudolph scene on it!
4 The most subtle of the jumpers this one, Milly Fairisle Knitted Jumper from Missguided - £30. This one is super cute and definitely one for those who don't like to draw attention to their christmas jumper!
5 - Who doesn't love a snowman?! Snowman Christmas Jumper from Matalan - £15. I really love this one and have definitely got my eye on it!
6 - This one is an absolute steal from New Look, Cream 'Tis The Season' Christmas Jumper - £11! What a bargain and one of the prettier 'slogan' jumpers I think.
Where is your favourite christmas jumper from?

Although I'm insisting I'm twenteen, not twenty... here's 10 things I've learnt being a teenager. I am officially an adult now, scary scary scary...
eeeeeeeekkkk!
1. Things Do Change.
Friendships start. Some friendships will end. Fights will happen. Tears will be shed. Lots of laugh will be roared. People might leave. People might return again. But, things do change, and although at the time it might be hard to deal with, I like to believe that everything happens for a reason. You get used to change, it becomes the norm.
2. If you're happy & doing what you love, what people think of you really doesn't matter.
There were people in my life who I was scared to be myself in front of. Those people were clearly not my best friends, so why did I care what they thought? If people judge you for doing what you love, that's their problem! This one takes time, I still tell myself it all this time!
3. Don't tell everyone who you fancy.
You tell a few people, then suddenly the whole school knows. It gets embarrassing. Reaaaaal embarrassing. Also, don't think you'll never be kissed or you'll be single forever... you won't!
4. Every girl is different.
Not one girl is the same and although us girls can talk for hours about everything we have in common and everything we share, we do differ. You might have smaller boobs, you might start your period later than others or you might be really tiny and shadowed by giants, whatever it is, it will happen, just give it time!
5. Save those memories.
I will never ever tire of looking back at old diaries, notes, photos and books from school. So many laughs to be had. It's never not funny reading your 'Good' and 'Bad' lists of friends or 'Hot To Not' lists of boys...
6. Tears, Work & No Sleep.
Those nights were your crying your eyes out at 1am, surrounded by books, paper, pens and notes, just try not to stress. I was the worst on these kind of evenings. But believe me, the tears do not help, just try and stay calm and do your best. Your teacher will not kill you if you've tried your best. Looking back now, school was not as scary or as difficult as I thought it was at the time.
7. If you don't want to do something, don't.
I'm not talking if you don't want to run Cross Country, start a war with your PE teachers and say no. We have to do things like that, they suck, but we've all done it! I'm talking boundaries. Drugs, drinking, sex, peer pressure, anything. If you're not comfortable, please don't feel you have to go along with things, just to fit in or look 'cool'. True and best friends will completely understand.
8. Saying that, Don't forget to live a little.
I wrote this post 'Live a Little' a few months ago. Don't be boring, do new things, say yes to things, don't wallow in sadness, get yourself out of it!
9. Get a Saturday Job.
The summers where I had that little bit of extra money were great. The feeling of asking Mum and Dad for a tenner every few days isn't great for either of you! Get a little bit of independence and earn some money!
10. Do some exercise, get a hobby!
I always hated exercise (I still do...) but I used to dance as a hobby at least three times a week. I never saw it as 'a workout', it was one of my favourite things to do, I met one of my best friends for life there and it gets you doing things in your spare time! I actually miss dancing now and is something I definitely want to do again!
Just a few things I've learnt in the last 7 years of being a teen! I could go on forever and probably give advice for days, but I'll leave it there.
Are you in your twenties? What would your top tips be?

So this weekend, I celebrated turning 20!
I had the most wonderful weekend with some of my favourite people, so it would be rude not to document it on here. It's a photo heavy one, so be prepared!
On Tuesday evening my Dad, Step-mum and brothers popped down to take Hen & I out for dinner. We headed to Bills!
A strawberry daiquiri for me, one of my favourites.
Ethan just loves spending time with his big sis, just look at that enthusiasm!

I went for crispy squid to start, the Bills Hamburger for a main and warm doughnuts with chocolate dipping sauce for dessert!
It was a lovely pre-birthday meal and so great to see my family!
A few days later and Friday 28th November had rolled around, it was my birthday! Breakfast, presents and cards in bed from my two amazing housemates Abi & Fran.
We lounged about all morning, then ventured to the classiest of establishments (ehem... 'spoons..) for some drinks and food.
I had a hair appointment booked at Electric Brighton to get a bouncy blowdry done! I would recommend the salon to anyone, lovely staff and fabulous finished looks! They do a great student discount too...
Friends started to arrive, we got ready and then we were ready to celebrate!
Saturday was, lets say, a fragile day for everyone. Very relaxed and chilled! On Sunday, Mumma popped down and we spent the day roaming around Brighton, then went to Jamie's Italian for dinner with Henry & his Mum & Dad. Jamie's is my absolute favourite!
So, just a little round up of my birthday weekend! Check out my birthday vlog, which will be going up tonight!
