My Favourite Christmas Movies

Woop Woop its still nearly christmaasss!! If you know me you'll know I'm one of those 'it's never too early for Christmas' people, and I know a lot of people including most of my friends HATE the idea of crimbo decorations being hung in November but I just looove feelin' festive :) As the weather gets colder, there's nothing better than spending the day tucked up in a duvet with hot chocolate and some x-mas movies! Here are my top picks for the Holiday season:

 

 

 

1) ELF! My all-time favourite movie, really gets you in the Christmassy mood no matter what the time of year!

 

 

2) The very popular Home Alone series is a must for the holiday period, makes you lol and cry every time!

 

 

 

3) The Polar Express I feel is a bit of a love it or hate it situation. I used to hate it, but a couple of years ago watched it with a couple of friends and picked out every little flaw of the movie and laughed our hearts out and I have loved it ever since!

 

 

 

4) Another very popular movie about a Grinch who stole Christmas. This movie is amazing if you want giggles and goosebumps with its feel-good, festive humour. (except for the scene with the maggots in his teeth which always freaks me out!)

 

 

 

5) This is always the movie I watch on Christmas Eve with my pops and my trusty mince pies so when I watch this I always feel like a little kid :) makes you get in the x-mas mood while teaching valuable life lessons along the way hehe. Also starring Miss Piggy so whats not to love?

 

 

 

6) This isn't so much a typical Christmas film but is one of my favourite movies set at X-mas, as recommended to me by Joey Tribbiani himself from 'Friends'. 'Die Hard' is such an exciting and thrilling movie with that satisfying conclusion feeling at the end when everything turns out well (spoiler) lol.

 

 

 

7) My last favourite Crimbo movie is 'Love Actually', oh my god there is nothing not amazing about this movie whatsoever.... It has humour, love, cute kids, great music, Liam Neeson, and all things Christmassy. Absolute perfection.

 

 

 

Any one of these movies are guaranteed to have you #FeelingFestive coming up to Christmas, and I can not wait to start watching my faves soon! What are your favourite Xmas movies?  

 

 

 

 

 

Halloween 2014

I was going for a skeleton makeup look but ran out of face paint after the first half so I had to improvise lol



'Lidl Wayne' haha!

 

 

I don't have many pictures to show for last night due to the tragic loss of my phone last week, but here are the ones I did find :)

Halloween is one of the best times of the year and I was worried that the excitement would wear away as I got older but i'm always pleasantly surprised at the atmosphere!

there was so much good costumes last night including Maleficent from sleeping beauty, Bananas in pyjamas, Orange is the New Black characters,  Bane from Batman, The game 'Twister', along with the usual dollop of Zombies, Cats, Army girls and Police men.

I hope everyone had a safe and spooky Halloween and I promise better quality pics when I invest in a new phone, since my blokia doesn't have that advantage :)

Ode to Bearphone

The best phone anyone could ever ask for <3

Loved by all



He never left my side. (for too long)

Ode to Bearphone:

 Today is a heart breaking day for anyone who knew and loved Bearphone. While innocently getting a beverage in Costa, what looked like a female Captain Hook obviously grew jealous of my pal and grabbed poor Bearphone out of my hand when I was distracted. I hope whoever ends up with him will feel as happy as he made me.

 After losing him on a ski slope in the Alps, on a subway in New York, and on a Roller coaster in Spain, you always found your way back to me
 
Well the day has finally come that we wont be reunited again and my heart is aching.
Goodbye Bearphone, Phone, Pal, Friend.

Tea and chats with Bex

 

Ah the joys that a simple mug of tea can bring <3

 

Today I caught up with one of my favourite people in the world who recently moved to Galway for college! I experienced my first ever taste of a 'Teaser' chocolate bar, and it was amazing. Although from the photo's it may look like I am dining alone, I am not, she just didn't want to be photographed bare-faced, even though she is beautiful :)

You may also notice a cheeky bear in the bottom corner of the photo, who is also very dear to me and goes by the name of #Bearphone, (my phone case) he is my number one companion <3

 

 

Portugal 2014!

Lololol, the weirdest feeling ever!

Before heading to the strip :) (those are lemonades and fake cigarettes)

 

Para-gliding, absolutely amazing.

My main girls (except Rach, the photographer) on the most beautiful beach ever <3.


Hey hey :)

So even though my friends and I went to Albufeira in Portugal way back in June, I am feeling a bit nostalgic about it so decided to do a #ThrowbackTuesday, because its not Thursday yet :)
The day after finishing my leaving cert, four of my best friends from my secondary school and I jetted of to the BEAUTIFUL Albufeira for one amazing week of sun, sea and sambuka's :D Hey after two weeks of intense exams, we deserved it! To avoid the SUPER crazy shananigans of the likes of Magaluf and Santa Ponsa, we decided to go to somewhere slightly calmer, little did we know that it would be every bit as cray cray and wild (hence the lack of night-time photo's lol), not to our disappointment, as post-leaving cert-ers!

As much fun as the drunken night-time antics were, I have to admit that, despite the permanent hangover, the day time activities were definitely my favourite part! We managed to fit everything from Para-gliding, Banana-boating, mini-golfing, water-parking,  fish pedicuring, and even tattoo-getting (not for low-pain-threshold Jenni, by the way) into one short week!

 Although there was the occasional mishap like the losing of tenners, passports, shoes and even phones, I wouldn't change a thing about it! Yes I might have dropped my friends water-proof camera into the sea whilst pedal-boating, but even then the lovely town-folk managed to help us look for it and returned it to us two days later when they recognised us on the beach :) And yes, I may have dropped a fifty euro note out of our 7 story balcony into the busy streets below, never to be found again, whilst cleaning out my backpack, but I managed to survive without expensive dinners for the week! And I guess I wasn't having that much fun when I was full sure that the huge shadow in the water whilst para-gliding was a whale and experienced a minor panick attack - mid-air, only to discover it was in fact the shadow of the parachute above us, but I lived :) And okay sure, I did forget to put on suncream one day and ended up with feet literally the size of water-melons and had to sleep upright with my two swollen ankles in two huge cooking pots full of cold water, but in the end, every one else seemed to get a kick out of the fact that I had to walk for 2 days afterwards with crutches, and isn't that whats really important? :)

All in all, it was an amazing holiday spent with amazing people, and I would recommend anyone to go on a girls holiday if you're ever in need of a de-stress or just a groovy time, you wont regret it :) Anywho thanks for reading, see yaaa <3

Jenni :)
