Weekly Ramble #6

This weeks been a bit of a hectic one, work, work, blogging, work and trying to fit in some shopping, unluckily the shopping has had to be done online but I'm hoping to properly go Christmas shopping this week! I've been absolutely loving Vlogmas & Blogmas this year and so far I've managed (counting today) to post 6 days out of 7 - a complete success! I haven't posted one of these Sunday rambles in a while but I thought I'd update you all on this busy time of year.... 

Took a trip to the Christmas market - it's become a yearly tradition and I love it. Its always so festive and there's such a nice atmosphere - I still haven't braved a kangeroo burger or crocodile dish but who knows there's time still. A nice crepe and paella will do me fine until :)

Ate my own weight in chocolate (its seasonal so it's acceptable) and finally got round to seeing Mockingjay - the film was blooming brilliant and I'm so glad I'd already read the books to find out what happens in part 2, talk about a cliffhanger? If you haven't seen it, you really need to! 

May have slipped and made a huge-ish MAC order which is due to arrive sometime this week, in fairness I needed to finish my quad (so I could ask Santa for a new one) and a few other things just happened to fall in my basket, oh no! 

Finally purchased my Christmas cards for this year and I'm so excited to write out little messages and send them to my friends. I'm also sending cards to my readers, I think I wrote about it a few days back if you're interested but these cards are literally adorable and I love them - the green envelopes are such a nice finishing touch too!

So a busy week and next week will probably be the same if not more but I'm going to keep at Blogmas so keep an eye out for my new posts! I also managed to track down new batteries for my camera so my photos will no longer be of terrible quality, thank goodness! 

Thanks for reading, Jenny xo 

P.s What have you been up to this week? I'm so excited for Christmas already!

Mac Mini Haul;

Before I went on holiday I decided to make a cheeky purchase at MAC, no one can resist! In fact I'm pretty sure I bought the items just because it was free shipping aka an excuse to buy something. Since joining the blogging world everybody and their cat owns a MAC palette or is in the process of creating one and as I didn't think I would have patience for a 15 pan palette I decided I'd give a 4 pan palette a whirl instead - just to get me started :)

This haul literally is 'mini', I only bought three items, one lipstick, the x4 palette and an eyeshadow to start off my collection. As all MAC products are drool worthy I found it hard to restrain myself and narrow down my selection to just a few things, in the end I picked up 'Nylon', a beautiful colour well known for being an inner eye highlight. My eyes never look too awake in the morning (neither do anyone's really) and so I'm hoping this'll change that, no more zombie eyes for me. If I'm honest I'm just really excited to start filling up my palette - this was my first MAC eyeshadow and I'm pretty sure it won't be the last. 

Lastly on a whim I picked up a lipstick from MAC, again something that previously hasn't been in my collection - its just so hard to justify so much money on one lipstick when I rarely stick to one and end up buying so many others to alternate with. The shade I picked up was 'Hot Tahiti', not an overly popular shade but not one that no ones heard of - a lovely in between. The colour itself is unlike any in my collection and I really can't wait to wear it soon.... lets be serious I'll probably have a review up in no time ;) Anyway that was my mini haul, sorry I'm only getting round to posting it now :) I hope you all enjoyed it!
