Five Things & Five Blogs I Love Friday #40!

Oh gosh, I haven't been very good at keeping up with these five things I love posts weekly. I'm making an early new years resolution to try a little harder with my blog. I've got so many posts in draft form but I guess I'm not really sure where to start, I'll figure it out though and hopefully posts will be a little more frequent and consistent!

One. Baking Gingerbread Cookies.

I've been getting in the festive spirit by baking gingerbread cookies and I'm loving them! Gingerbread is probably one of my favourite sweet treats of all time, I always think back to having gingerbread men as a child and I love how festive they smell when they're baking! Yummy! 

Two. Lily Loves Lola Bracelets.

Fellow blogger and all round creative lady, Victoria from Lily Loves Lola, has a super lovely online shop selling the cutest friendship bracelets! If you have a bunch of close friends who love bracelets like these I think they would such a perfect little Christmas gift because there are so many different charms to choose from and they're super affordable. Victoria is a lovely lady and will package your order so beautifully! I'd love if you were to check out her BigCartel store and her Etsy! ♥

Three. HayDay!  

I'm not exactly sure what first made me download this app but now I have, I'm totally hooked! It's a getting a little silly now, I check it multiple times per day and I just love the cute little animals! I think the sheep are my favourite because they look like little fluffy clouds when they need their wool collecting. Yeah, I told you I was obsessed! 

Four. This Red Stripe Campaign.

I'm always a sucker for super creative advertising campaigns! I studied moving image media at College and although I was terrible at actually making clever mini films, I absolutely loved learning about the techniques and seeing what the creative guys in my class managed to think up. I was always jealous of their skills so whenever I see an advert that grabs my attention, I instantly love it! 

Five. The John Lewis Christmas Advert. 

The first time I saw this I got a little teary eyed, these adverts get me every year and to be honest, I pretty much cry at everything! I love this little snow couple and I think the hat, scarf & gloves that mister snowman picked out are very smart indeed!

One. Ferdie's Beauty Finds. Two. The Beauty Milk. Three. Kimtopia.

Four. Our Little Balham Life. Five. Tiny Paint Pot.

I completely adore every single one of these blogs and it would mean a lot to me if you were to pop over and have a little look at each of them! They all make me smile for completely different reasons and I think you will love them too!
