Christmas 2016: A Throwback To My Favourite Christmas Posts
Only a few days before Christmas now, and I honestly don't know where
time has gone... I've been incredibly busy these past two months,
hence the lack of posts on Julia Speaks. Although I haven't been able
to write any Christmas posts this year, I am still very much in the
festive spirit - listening to Christmas music, getting a baby tree
and enjoy Christmas lights around Northampton has kept me going
through the whole of December!
To
make up for the lack (or absence, really) of Christmas-related posts
this year on my blog, I have selected my three favourite posts from
last year to share again with you! Hopefully they'll be new to some
of you and you'll enjoy them!
I
have been lucky to be sent some products from BornPrettyStore a few
times, but the Christmas selection will always be my favourite!
In this
post, learn how to create quick and easy festive manicures, using
only a few nail polishes and stickers! The snowflake mani (which I
called Let It Snow) is my favourite out of the bunch!
Of
all the Christmas displays I've seen around Paris, Vaux-le-Vicomte is
hands down the best. The castle, located outside of Paris but easily
accessible by train, does wonderful Christmas displays every year and
I encourage you to visit if you are in Paris and fancy a change from
Versailles. All the rooms are filled with trees, lights, and cute
ornaments, and Santa is waiting for you around the kitchen. There is
even a ferris wheel inside the
castle. Yes. Check out the
post to see what this amazing event is all about!
I
could not finish this post without adding a Christmas
recipe! Seasonal hot drinks don't have to come from Starbucks or
Costa - make them yourself! I love cinnamon at this time of year, it
has this strong, spicy flavour that instantly reminds of Christmas.
To do this hot chocolate, you'll only need a few basic ingredients -
and some cute mugs of course. Go and follow this
recipe, cinnamon hot chocolate is exactly what you need during
these cosy winter evenings!
What is your favourite post out of the three? Do you have a favourite type of post you like to write or read at Christmas?
Lots of love,
