A little update and giveaway winners

Hello my darlings, 

I'm so sorry I've not been around so much since I came back from my holiday. A few days ago, I woke up and found that almost all of the remaining sight in my right eye has gone black. I now have a small amount at the top of my eye where I have light perception but that's it. I'm okay about it now, but for a few days I've just not felt like blogging, nor doing much else if the truth be told. 

Alex has done plenty to cheer me up though, including Christmas shopping and a meal and drinks out last night, so I'm starting to feel much better about things now. I didn't have much sight in it anyway, so it's not so sudden, it just feels very final. 

 So! Now that I've explained myself a little, on to better and more interesting things! Who am I sending these Chocolate Oranges out to?! 

 Lauren from Following the Foxes 

Kayleigh from Kayleigh Jean

 There was a total of 20 valid entries, and they were of course selected with a random number generator. 

 I hope you've all had a wonderful lead up to Christmas so far!

Hello my darlings!

It's been a while hasn't it? I had a wonderful holiday, and I even managed to get a slight tan! (I don't tan very easily). Landing back in Manchester was certainly a shock to the system, it was -3 when we left the airport! I can't wait for Christmas now, it feels very surreal to think I was in 80 degree heat on a beach this time last week, and now I'm listening to Christmas songs while the weather is so horrible outside.

I hope you've all been keeping well while I've been away, and you're enjoying the Christmas Spirit!

Now that I'm back from the land of bright colours and summer clothes, I'm craving the dark and sophisticated shades of winter. I also can't wait to get something dark and vampy back on my nails; I absolutely love that look.

Gloves, Leather Top, Wrap Top, Jacquard Skirt, Jacquard Trousers, Coat, Grey Top, Shoes, Nail Varnish.

I have a sneaky new purchase to share with you tomorrow, so until then!

I'm giving away Terry's Chocolate Oranges with Popping Candy, as a Christmas Thankyou!

Hello Beautiful Darlings,

I can't believe it's the first day of Christmas! I hope you all opened your advent calendars this morning! 

As a thankyou for all of your recent support, I'm going to be giving away a Terry's Chocolate Orange with Popping candy to 3 of my followers. I wish I could send you all something for Christmas, I really do <3

As always, the winner will be chosen at random. The giveaway will close on the 20th of December, so hopefully you'll have your treat by Christmas Eve!

The rules for the giveaway are as simple as usual:

1. Follow me through GFC

2. Follow me via Twitter or Instagram, it's up to you. The links to them are over to the right: @awonderful_life. 

(In all honesty my Instagram is probably more interesting than my Twitter. I never know what to say!!)

3. Leave me a comment telling me whether you followed on Instagram or Twitter, and also your email address so I can contact you.  

Merry Christmas everyone <3

Christmas Yankee Candle Giveaway Winner!

Thankyou so much to everyone who entered, I was blown away by how many of you did! I'll be looking through your recommendations for posts, and making sure I take on board your advice.

I chose the winner using a random number generator, and it threw up the number 18. There was one invalid entry which was discounted, therefore making the winner: 

Sophie, from Punky Pugs. 

I wish I could have given more of them away, in an ideal world I would. But then I wouldn't be able to eat for a month, so in the interest of my own standard of living, it'll have to be just the one this time. 

Thankyou all again for entering, I appreciate it so much <3
