For today's post I'd thought I'd get a little crafty and give you some ideas for DIY Christmas gifts. Everyone loves something that's handmade or sentimental so I went looking on pinterest and here's what I've found. Have you got other ideas? I'd love to hear them so comment below!
For the last few years the whole Christmas jumper trend has really taken off. For today's post, I thought I'd show you some of my fav ones online. So excited to get another one this year!
If you've been reading my blog for a while now, you'll know that last year I did Blogmas where I posted festive blog posts every day in December until Christmas. This year, I've decided to do it again and now that myself and Kevin are also vlogging on YouTube, we're also gonna (attempt!) to do vlogmas, where we'll vlog every day until Christmas so don't forget to subscribe to our channel and see if we succeed!
If you have any suggestions for festive style blog posts please let me know :) I'll be asking again on my Facebook page so go over and check that out if you wanna stay up to date! See you on December 1st :)
Here's this week's vlogs :) hope you enjoy them and don't forget to subscribe :)

Monday's vlog was our first vlog since July! We went shopping, I got some fab Christian Louboutins dupes and my little cousin came for dinner :)
Hey everyone!
Here's my weekly round-up of our vlogs! For those of you that don't know, myself and my boyfriend have started vlogging and I thought that it would be good to share them on my blog for you guys to watch too! Let me know if you like seeing these on my blog and we would love if you'd subscribe to our channel :)
In Monday's vlog, me and Kevin had the tough decision of choosing between curry and pizza for dinner, I had another editing fail and we went to see Tammy in the cinema.
Ok so since myself and Kevin started vlogging on our YouTube channel, I haven't really been blogging. I've been working a lot and then on my days off I've been editing the vlogs to get them uploaded and they've take forever to do that! So I do apologise but plan on writing posts this week that will be scheduled to go up :)
I'm also going to (try!) start doing a blog post every week featuring our vlogs that went up on our YouTube the previous week. I figured these would be perfect for my lifestyle type posts to give you a little insider into what we get up to :)
So in last Monday's vlog, myself and Kevin went and saw Mrs Brown's Boys the Movie, made some yummy curry for dinner and went to town and did some shopping.
When myself and Kevin had our post holiday blues after Florida last year we decided to go on a city break somewhere. We looked around for a while and decided that the price would play a big factor considering we had also decided on going back to Florida in the summer. I looked on both Ryanair and Aer Lingus websites searching for deals and when I came across return flights to Manchester for only €20 each we couldn't say no! We went for four days in May and loved it :) I've decided to this blog post to fill you in on our trip and also give you tips if you're planning on going :) we definitely would recommend it :)
Where to Stay
We stayed in the Ibis hotel on Princess St just off Charles St. We wanted something cheap and cheerful and this was perfect. Very reasonable and a great location. We also found when we were there that Oxford St, Oxford Rd and Picadilly Gardens were also great locations. Picadilly Gardens was the town centre so that would prob be the best location.
Where to Eat
We didn't do anything fancy and ate in Nandos, Pizza Express and then a few places in the Trafford Centre like Subway, KFC and Bar Burrito. On our last day we had breakfast in Weatherspoons which is really cheap and was highly recommended to us before we went. There were a few restaurants in Picadilly Gardens and a good selection in the food court in the Trafford Centre.
What to Do
If you've been following me on instagram or facebook then you saw what we did while we were there. We visited the Trafford Centre (a HUGE shopping centre) which I definitely recommend you check out. It's so big and has a good variety of shops and a really good food court.
We also did the Old Trafford stadium and museum tour which was prob our fav part of the trip. It was very reasonably priced and you definitely get value for money with the guided tour. This is a must if you go!
We did the Coronation St tour too which wasn't as good but still worth visiting. It's a tour of the previous set and you get to walk on the cobblestones which was kinda cool! It's only there until October though.
The world's biggest Primark is in Picadilly Gardens so that is a must see for all of you reading this! I cannot even tell you how big it is! I got lost in there and literally couldn't find my way out it was so big. I didn't get a whole lot there but I'm glad I went.
Picadilly Gardens is a lovely area to walk around in especially on a sunny day where there's lots of people about. There's a nice garden area in the centre by the Manchester Eye ferris wheel which is nice. I will warn you though that there's lots of pigeons around!
Finally, we visited the Arndale shopping centre which was much bigger than we initially thought. The Trafford Centre was defo better but this was great and right in the heart of Picadilly Gardens. It had very similiar shops to Cork but was still worth a visit.
So that was our trip! I will leave you with photos and our vlogs from the trip :) we would love if you would subscribe to our channel as well :)
Ok so as some of you may know I am a little obsessed with One Direction! I went to see them in Dublin two weeks ago and they were absolutely amazing! I literally had no voice afterwards I was screaming so much! It was such a good night and I am gutted it's all over :(
Here's some pics from the night :) myself and Kevin also vlogged too so go check that out and don't forget to like and subscribe :)
