A Xmas Party Look Inspired By NARS || Video blog | christams | inspired | nars | party | season | whenflowersfall | xmas

There's nothing like finding that Youtube had somehow forgotten to make your video live. 

This was meant to go up yesterday but it seems it was still sitting unpublished.

I absolutely love this look, but it's certainly not for everyone!

Black Tie Event vs Baby Bump baby | belly | black tie event | bump | christmas | dress | fashion | maternity | party | style | whenflowersfall | xmas

1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6

This year we have Liam's works Christmas do to attend. We've known about it for weeks and weeks now, but only upon looking at the menu that got sent out did I realise that it's actually a black tie event.

I've been looking for a dress ever since, but unfortunately not only do I have the fun of finding a dress flattering to my chunky butt, I also have the challenge of finding something that will cater for my almost 18 week baby belly. Something not so easily done seeing as I really haven't a clue how big I'll be by then.
I'm currently 13 weeks and my belly is definitely growing, so who knows. Can someone look into the future for me?

I've picked out the six above from various maternity sections, but I'm still undecided. I really want to be comfortable, so I looked with that in mind, rather than being so focused on the black tie theme. I did also think about getting a non-maternity dress but just in a bigger size, but I really haven't a clue as to how that would work out. I also don't want to spend a fortune because I really don't know when I'd wear it again.

So let me know your favourite in the comments below. Or if you have another suggestion, that would be greatly appreciated too.
Hopefully I can decide soon!

Treacle Moon - Warm Cinnamon Nights bubble bath | christmas | red | review | shower gel | treacle moon | warm cinnamon nights | xmas

This holiday season, Treacle moon has released an amazing limited edition bath/shower gel. 

Warm cinnamon nights is winter in a bottle, the scent is cinnamon based with tones of cloves, ginger, vanilla and honey, all topped off with a touch of zesty orange. 

You can pick up a 500ml bottle of this at Tescos for only £2.99. Such amazing value as a little goes such a long way. 

So far I have only tried this out as a bubble bath, but the scent lasts a super long time, the formula doesn't dry out your skin and the bubbles are great! 

I love this so much, that I can't see my self using anything else until this runs out. 

Because this is a limited edition product, it's only available for a short period of time. So, if you are a lover of Christmassy, cinnamonny scents, go and pick up a bottle!

Catch up with VLOGMAS! blogger | christmas | day one | day two | dog | fall | flowers | puppy | shopping | vlog | vlogger | vlogging | vlogmas | when | when flowers fall | whenflowersfall | xmas

Hi, my loves!

I thought I would post the last couple of days of VLOGMAS, just in case you missed them. I have been uploading in the evening of the same day, but that means they have been completed in the early hours of the morning, meaning a lot of people have been missing them!

I hope you all are enjoying these little daily vlogs. It seems I have lost a couple of yt subscribers since starting them, so maybe I will create a vlog channel for next year. 

I will back with my regular posts on Thursday! It's been a super busy week!!

Friday Fitday - A new day, a new start. 30 day shred | exercise | friday fitday | goals | healthy | party | weightloss | xmas | zaggora hot pants

Yup! You guessed it. Friday Fitday is beginning again. 

It's taken me so long to get my mojo back, but now I have, I'm not letting it go again. 

As I type this, my hands are shaking from completing day one of the 30 day shred. My friend Rachel has been doing it for a while and has managed to get to the end of level two, so I figured it was time to join her. 

I am knackered...

...and mildly sweaty. I honestly feel I'd forgotten how unfit I am. 

I've tried to do the shred before and now I remember why I didn't complete it. Jillian Michaels is a real ball buster and her voice just gets on my tits. But, if I get the results I want, then I am going to get through the entire thing this time.

Just like it used to be, I will be posting updates every Friday. I was going to do it today, but I just didn't feel brave enough, but next week I'm hoping to be able to post some full body photos. They won't necessarily be before photos, as I will be 7 days into the shred by then, but I can't imagine I am going to have huge results that quickly. 

Right now I am weighing in at 15.2 stone (214lbs) and I am 5ft 11. Seeing the numbers like that really scare me and with the #Northernbloggersxmasparty only a month away, I'd like to shed at least a stone by then. According to the BMI charts, I am verging on obese. My ideal weight is somewhere between 9 and 12.5 stone. Let's be real, if I was 9 stone, I would look really ill and I think even at 12.5, I feel I wouldn't want to lose any more. Overall my goal is to get to 13 stone (182lbs) by my 23rd birthday in March. 

Food wise, I am going back to eating home cooked meals, controlling my snacking and just being generally good. I think without the diet to go with it, the shred will just be useless. 

My puppy, Bug will be able to go outside in the next three weeks, so before then I am going to try and get back in the swing of walking also. Unfortunately, I don't have any workout gear suitable for the British winter, so I may just have to do it in my pjs? This is something I am going to have to find a way of sorting before I can actually start. Although, with Xmas coming up, work out stuff for myself is the last thing I can afford to spend my few pennies on. I'm going to ask for a pair of Zaggora Hot pants for Crimbo. I want a pair so, so much and the results just look amazing!!

Anywhoo, I seem to have rambled for quite some time about my goals. 

If you guys would like to follow my journey, make sure to check back every Friday evening. If you would like to join me, send me a cheeky tweet @whenflowersfall using the hastag 'Fridayfitday' and we can keep each other motivated.

    Hopefully this time I won't get hacked again!! But as a precaution, we are looking into getting me a new laptop. Virus scanners just don't seem to be finding what's letting these people get onto my laptop. :/
    Anywhooooo, now I can actually type a proper post, I can show you a few bits that I got for Christmas!
Just a quick disclaimer though, I'm not doing this to brag at all, I just know a lot of people enjoy seeing these kinds of posts. 

 Blush Professional 88 palettes

 Angry Birds speaker

 Mulberry-esque handbag

 River Island Hats

 Rimmel Glameyes Mascara & W7 Africa Bronzer

 River Island boot slippers

   I also got to spend a couple of days with Liams family back home and enjoyed a couple of drinks with friends on Boxing day.
   I should hopefully back in full blogging action from now on and I've got a good few things to review so keep your eyes peeled for those.

I hope you all had an absolutely fabulous Christmas!

Oh, the plans I have. about me | beauty | christmas | make up | new year | new years resolution | plans | resolution | video | vlog | vloggers | when flowers fall | whenflowersfall | xmas

Hi lovelies,
   Yes I've been a little awol for the past couple of days, yesterday was a bit of a jumble if I'm completely honest. I had planned on recording a couple of Christmas themed videos, but our evening plans where muddled up, then bought forward, so Liam and I spent the entire evening with his work colleagues on their work Christmas do/celebration of releasing Strangers Wrath HD (a remake of an old oddworld game for those not in the know.) We spent the first couple of hours in the pub making toasts and chit chatting away, then moved onto the rather posh Indian restaurant down the road. I was going to vlog the entire evening but people were rather merry and I imagine it would of ended up being a mish-mash of slurred words and champagne glasses.

Anywhoooo, I've made a good few decisions this past week and I've also made a few new years resolutions.

• Sort myself a decent job as soon as the new year comes in.
• Sort out a proper recording area (I've already started moving some bits around.)
• Look into a beauty/make-up artistry course to either do at home or college/uni, (if you guys can recommend any I'd be very grateful.)
• Continue being a happier person and enjoy life more :) 

   This has to be the first year I've really looked forward to the new year. Christmas has never been a very cheerful time for me (with the excepting of getting engaged last year), but something feels different this year and I like it. 

Merry Christmas Eve Eve!

A day for filming... about me | blogging | cat | cats | channel | christmas | christmas gift | christmas tree | pet | sam and jay | schuermans | schuermanshow | subscribe | subscription | tag | vlog | vloggers | xmas | youtube

Hi Lovelies!
    What a day it's been! Firstly I found out that due to horrid online bullying and haters, that my favourite youtube couple Sam & Jay Schuerman have deleted all existence. Their vlog channel, Sams make up channel, both their twitters and facebooks, have all gone! My last hope of ever having any contact with then was Sams blog, which has also now been deleted. I wish they could read this  because I wish them all the luck in the future. Hopefully we will see them again sometime in the future. I know the thousands of people who followed them would love a comeback some day. It's a massive shame that vile people have to ruin what plenty of others enjoy!!
    On another note, I myself recorded two new videos today. Check them out below! I plan on doing a few more this week leading up to Christmas. I'm also trying to persuade Liam into doing some vlogs with me, but you know how men can be! I'll certainly get him on Christmas day!

Hope you are all well in this festive season!

Christmas in the Jones Household about me | bauble | cards | christmas | decorations | gifts | holiday | jones | personal | presents | tinsel | xmas

Hi Lovelies!
    I thought I'd share a few photos of my home, all dressed up ready for Christmas. I've spent most of the day shopping and sorting out the prezzies, I'm finally in the festive spirit! Being our first Christmas in our own home, Liam and I haven't got many decs, we haven't got a tree either, we thought it best seeing as Luna is still her mischievous self and we're pretty sure we'd be spending most of our time fixing it. How do you guys cope with naughty pets at Christmas?

Hope you're all having a good Christmas time. 

I'm getting excited now!

I'm Back! about me | family | get to know me | home | my life | personal | photos | when flowers fall | whenflowersfall | winter | xmas

Hi Lovelies!
    Sorry I've been so absent, I took a three day break from blogging as my mum, sister and niece came to visit all the way from West Wales. They spent 6 hours on Monday driving to get here and left this morning to make the horrid drive back. I've had the most fun 3 days ever and I am missing my Lilypie so much already! Whilst they were here we got lost in Bradford, ate far too much takeaway foods and spent an hour and a half in Wacky Warehouse playing in the ball pit.
    Unfortunately there has been a teeny down side to these past few days too, my sister has been suffering with a really bad cold and muggins here caught it off of her. I am now tucked up on my sofa, with a blanket and a hot cup of blackcurrant squash. I'm hoping it doesn't get any worse than it is now, because not only do I feel like complete and utter pants, but I really want to have the energy to write some posts and record some new videos too!! I've missed it so much, I hadn't actually realised how big of a part blogging played in my life now.
    Anywhooooo, I am going to make this a short one so I don't ramble on too much, I have taken lots of footage of Lily whilst she was here, but I'm not too sure my sister would be cool with me posting it (I have to admit I don't 100% trust the internets myself), so I'll stick a couple of pics on here instead.

Please excuse the incredibly awful hat hair and make-up free face, my cold had kicked in that day. 

Back to the Victorian Times... bubbles | christmas | hog roast | market | markets | masks | mulled wine | pig | pork | snow | steam train | street performers | train | victorian | victorian market | when flowers fall | whenflowersfall | xmas | xmas market

well kinda...

     Otley had its annual Victorian Christmas market today, and being our first year here, we didn't really want to miss it. Turns out we spent a good two hours mooching around the stalls, watching street performers, drinking mulled wine and eating amazing food. I only wished I had more money to spend, there were so many cute handmade bits and bobs. I also would have gone home with possible my weights worth of giant cookies and brownies!

If you're squeemish, don't look at the next few photos. 

I am so looking forward to next years already!!
