Hi everyone and welcome back to my blog for another post. So, this week’s post is the alternative post that I put in the poll last week on my instagram. I thought I’d still write it and publish it because a fair few of you voted for it. So here we have it: my what I got for Christmas 2018 post. Hope you enjoy this one guys. Here we go… The List:
1. Ariana Grande Sweetener World Tour soundcheck and gold circle standing package for Birmingham on September 14 (if any of you are going git me up). Now. This is a biggie. Had to kick this off with the best one first and start with a BANG. Yeah if anyone knows me, or claims to know me, at all then you’ll know how much of a big deal this is to me. So this package gets me: A gold circle standing ticket for the show (basically I’m at the front without having to camp out overnight which is fab!!), early access to the arena to hear Ariana sound checking for the show, we then get A GOD DAMN Q&A WITH ARIANA (that will be my death if she speaks to me or just looks at me I will probably faint so bye guys, it’s been nice knowing you), some VIP merch and then see the show itself on the night. So pretty fucking awesome I’d say. And just so you know: I cried my eyes out when I opened the envelope. I was in complete and utter shock. 2. Gotta have my gig tickets guys. Yeah. You know me. So mom got me a ticket to see Olly Murs in may for Birmingham. Gotta love a bit of Olly, class tunes and he’s pretty easy on the eye too. And it’s a floor ticket which means that i’m right down the front (get in). Plus floor ones are better because everyone stands up when it starts :))) And another gig ticket… IM SEEING P!NK AT WEMBLEY STADIUM. I have literally waited for her to bring the beautiful trauma tour to the UK for what feels like forever so this makes me VERY VERY excited. Me and mom are going together to this one as she is a P!nk superfan and I have her to blame for converting me into a fan too. 3. London to see Gillian Anderson in the West End. Yeah. Need to say it again. IM SEEING GILLIAN ANDERSON IN THE WEST END !!!! *insert a lot of crying and heart emojis* I’ve loved Gillian for so long, probably since she appeared in Johnny English reborn. That was like 2011 ish??? Basically years and I can’t believe I’m gonna see her with my own eyes on stage. The play is called All About Eve. I think there are still some tickets available for late march (thats when I’m going). So go have a look if you’re interested. Lily James (who was young donna in mamma Mia 2 is also in it). So yeah, another weekend in London and I get to see a woman I’ve loved for years in real life. cant get any better than that. This will obvs include dinner, cocktails and shopping at some point too. Hehe. 4. A Too Faced gift set. Now I got this in place of the ever popular gingerbread palette. It had sold out but the colours in it are pretty similar. There are three triangle shaped palettes that when put together make a Christmas tree. Cute right. Two are eyeshadows and one is a blusher / highlighter one. It’s v cute and the packing is a pastel pink so another winner. And in the set there is also a miniature of the Better Than Sex mascara that kinda made the brand famous. Minis are always useful for travelling or for my gym bag. Brilliant !! 5. iTunes gift card. I bloody love these. They give me opportunities. I wanna buy an album, I can. I wanna buy a TV series, I can. I wanna buy a movie, yep you guessed it, I can. So yeah these always bring a smile to my face and are always well received. 6. Good ol’ money. I’m a student now okay. Don’t judge. Money is a blessing and always welcome. 7. Costa and Starbucks gift cards. Again I’m a student. This means that when im struggling for money I basically can get free coffee. It’s a GODSEND. 8. Spa treatments. Ooooo my faves. I had these before Christmas but my god mom paid for them for me so I said it could be a prezzie. Nothing beats having lovely products put on your face, doing absolutely nothing and being pampered for a few hours. 9. Restaurant gift card. Now these are also a blessing and I can totally recommitted them to all my fellow students out there. So basically you load the card up with say £20 and then you can take the card to a bunch of different restaurants to buy a meal. So basically like a food gift card: IT’S GENIUS. You can use it at places like Nandos, Pizza Express, Yo! Sushi, Zizzi and Café Rouge. There are a few more I just cant remember them all right now. I got one for my birthday as well and I used to treat myself to a Yo1 Sushi and it was honestly so satisfying when I asked for my bill knowing that my purse wasn’t going to have a hole burnt through it. Lolz. Yeah a FAB gift. 10. Rainbow umbrella. Rainbows. And a contraption to stop my hair going frizzy when the traditional British weather hits. PERFECT. 11. Bose revolve soundlink speaker. Now this thing is MY BABY. I adore it. I use it every single day with fail. I’m a music junkie and I have something playing either out loud or in my ears for the majority of the day. I just cannot get enough of music. So when my mom got me this I was thrilled. It’s wireless operates by using bluetooth. It’s super easy to set up and once the devices are paired it’s super quick to start playing music. The quality is insane, I cant stress it enough. I will always recommend Bose to you guys if you ever ask me what brand of speakers or headphones to get. They are just the best and they last for ages. (providing you look after them) so it’s well worth the money. Especially if you care about music and good sound quality. There is an AUX port at the back that is compatible with the good old headphone jack so if you wanted to connect a device in a non wireless way or if you have a device that doesn’t have bluetooth, like an iPod classic or a record player then you can. Basically it ticks every box for me. 12. My Geneva expenses paid for. This was a cute one. I was all prepared to save my wages up and then pay mom back in instalments for the trip but she told me on xmas eve not to worry and I can have it for Christmas. THANK U MOMMA. Geneva was amazing, go see the pics on my insta if you wanna be nosey. Linking into this my god mom got me some Swiss currency to take with me. 13. Over the knee boots. I'd wanted some of these for months. And I finally got them and they fit !! Bless up the goddesses at ASOS who created wide fit and extra wide leg fittings. I could kiss that person tbh. But yeah a very wanted addition to my wardrobe. 14. Dvd’s. Gotta love a movie. My collection is massive and ever expanding. This time I got the incredibles 2 (because I’m a child), mamma Mia 2 (eeeeekkk), Blue Bloods season 1-5 boxset (i can now gaze at Bridget Moynahan, who plays my fave character in the show and is so beautiful it makes me wanna cry, willingly whenever I please thank you v much), Mission Impossible: Fallout (mainly watching it for Rebecca Ferguson if I’m being totally honest) and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. If you have any recommendations on what I should watch or if you think I’d like something then please send them to me. 15. And finally. Alcohol, lots of it. GIN GIN GIN. Gin everywhere to be honest. I think I got 4 different bottles in the end. And considering I’m the only person that drinks in my house that’s a lot. But there are ZERO complaints from this end. I also got two bottles of vodka. And a bottle of Amarula (tastes like baileys but even creamier, it’s heaven). So yeah. Lots of solo nights drinking are on the cards for me. YAS QUEENS. And that’s pretty much everything. I hope you enjoyed reading that and I hope it doesn’t come across as bragging. You guys said you wanted to see it so I’m just telling you out of interest because I enjoy sharing things with you guys. In the comments tell me what you’re favourite present was that you got last Christmas, if you celebrate it. Thank you for reading and I’ll see you next weekend for a new post. Love Jade xxx
