On the 12th Day of Christmas

Hi everyone! It's officially the end of blogmas now and I'm actually so surprised I managed to blog everyday for 25 days haha! I've had such a great time coming up with different post ideas, but don't worry, this doesn't mean the end of my non-stop blogging :P

I have some topics I want to chat to you about and keep you informed in some of my exciting announcements! :D

Merry Christmas

So it's Christmas Eve right now in England so merry Christmas to all my readers and if you don't celebrate Christmas, I hope you're enjoying a bit of time off school or work :) after the almost compulsory Christmas haul, I will be doing my regular beauty posts as normal.

Pageviews Milestone

I am still in shock that I've had over 5,000 in 2 and a half months, it's so crazy but I'm so happy! The feedback I get from you guys always brightens up my day and I am so appreciative of everything you do for me- so thank you!

New Years Giveaway

So this might be THE most exciting thing I have to announce; towards the end of January, I will be holding my own giveaway! I have received lots of free products from various companies (which I am so, so grateful for!) and will be picking up some goodies in the January sales too ;) I'm starting to get a big hamper put together and the giveaway will be hosted on my Instagram jessgray7 so keep a lookout for that! It will be UK entries only I'm afraid, but hopefully, later on in the year I will be hosting a world-wide giveaway for anyone to enter :)

Guest Posts

I have collaborated with Casey from a Topsy Turvy Blog in doing some amazing posts on each other's blogs and I have more to come from her so I hope you are enjoying them! :) I also am working with my lovely friend Zoe from Undeneath the Cherry Blossom to get some guest posts done for the New Years so get excited for them! :D

I would LOVE to work with some of you guys doing guest posts or interviews so check out my Contact Me page for more details on where to find me if you're interested :)

TAG Beauty Talk

About 3 weeks ago, I set up my own tag called 'TAG Beauty Talk' and my friends Alice from t4inted beauty and Jamie and Abbie from Schosh Girls where the first to answer it! I also have some of my favourite responses posted on the TAG Beauty Talk page (you can find it at the top of my blog!) I have been overwhelmed with people getting in contact with me to answer the tag over twitter, instagram and my blog and I appreciate it so much! So what I'm trying to say is.. THANK YOU to anyone who has taken the time to answer the questions in my tag.

I tag you all to give it a go and send me your responses! :) 

(all the details are listed on the tag page)

Making Makeup Friends

Finally, I just want to talk about the amazing opportunities writing this blog has given me. For starters, I have made so many friends who have the same interests as me that I just don't have in school. It really means so much to me when you give me praise for my work as I am an aspiring journalist, so literally every time I receive feedback, or someone views my blog or compliments me, it means the world!

So, sorry for being so soppy haha! I hope you all enjoy the holidays and you can look forward to some exciting stuff in the New Years!

So much love for all of you guys!
