Christmas Day is over, wrapping paper is in the recycling bin, I've eaten my own body weight in festive treats - make that twice my own body weight - and I've barely been out of my pyjamas for longer than a shower and a family meal. But what a wonderful day it was!  I wanted something special on my nails for Christmas Day...

That's it! It's Christmas Eve meaning 'Blogmas' is coming to an end and despite missing one day - I really have come down with the most dreadful cold/flu thing over the past week so trying to create and write a post for yesterday was pretty much impossible! - I am proud that I managed to do so many consecutive days and I have...

Around this time of year, I find myself meeting up with friends and family in one country pub after another for that crucial before-Christmas-catchup; eating copious amounts of roast dinners and drinking fine wine whilst chatting the night away. And I love it. Pub food can be some of the best around, therefore, today's post is going to be about two rather delicious...

Apologies for the lateness in this going up but I have been so ill over, and since, the weekend that it's been difficult to do anything at all! Alas! I've finally managed to drag myself from my bed long enough to post this. When Christmas comes around, my nails certainly feel the festive vibe and this week has been a gold one with...

Following on from my 'Signature Scent' post back on 'Blogmas' Day 10 (why does that feel like it was month's ago?!), I have a new addition to my fragrance favourites. ...

I have a confession to make. I maaay have bought another eye shadow palette. Well, technically, it was free and well worth the order but I'll come on to that in a moment. ...

The tree is up and decorated, Christmas tunes are playing in the background, fairy lights are twinkling at the end of my bed and I'm enjoying a huge mug of hot chocolate with marshmallows as I type; could it feel any more festive?! ...

As promised in my last Love Me Beauty Box Review, I am welcoming a new beauty box to Amy's Corner this month. Everyone, say hello to My Little Box! ...

At the end of November, I finally found myself in a Space NK store, after what felt like an age of wanting to, with the view to pick up a NARS Lip Pencil. I ended up walking out with one of their Christmas offerings, the Digital World Set, which contains five - maybe a couple more than originally thought but mission accomplished, right?!...

We're half way through 'Blogmas' now and I've been loving it (I hope you have too!). I thought I'd do a slightly different post today and share some things that I loved about Christmas when I was younger - I definitely went to a little place called Nostalgia Lane whilst writing those - and some things I love about Christmas now. ...

One of my favourite festive tipples has got to be Mulled Wine. I have fond memories of this tasty drink going back to when I used to help my Mum make it for our Bonfire Night parties on our free-range chicken nursery - obviously I wasn't drinking it as a kid but the smell was something to cherish. Those memories have been carried...

We all have that one perfume/fragrance/spray that is the daily go-to scent that simply suits you and when a family member, friend or colleague catches a whiff, they instantly think of you. This also means you usually end up getting a bottle or two at Christmas or on birthdays, much to your delight. For me, this special scent is Paul Smith 'Extreme for...

Above are some of my Instagram pics from the past few weeks with descriptions just below.  ...

Another review now and it's being posted during 'Blogmas' as my thoughts on the colour were along the lines of "snowflake fairy pink", but I'll let you be the judge of that. ...

Kicking off the festive nail season is Rimmel's Salon Pro by Kate 'Bewitch'. Looking at the photo above, you may be thinking "that's not very festive Amy" but bear with me and I shall explain. ...

As much as I enjoy wearing makeup and what not, the process of taking it off in the evening is one I truly cherish. There's something incredibly joyful and comforting about removing your 'face' after a busy day, just before getting in to your PJs and heading to bed. With that said, here's my nightly routine. ...

It's time for the monthly favourites post and November had some very wintery-themed items; all non-beauty I might add (safe to say I was shocked too!). ...

Of course, it wouldn't be 'Blogmas' on Amy's Corner without a little bit of beauty thrown in now, would it?! This is the first of a few product reviews heading your way this month and one I'm a bit late on the bandwagon to be writing if I'm honest! ...

Now I know this technically isn't Christmas-related, however, I did state that these 'Blogmas' posts would also have winter-esque themes and a chilly day out comes under that, doesn't it?? November saw myself, my Mum, her other half (Nick), my Auntie Lesley and her two cute dogs (Sox and Bessie) head to the Forest of Dean to do a treasure trail and I have to...

One of my favourite things to do over the festive season is to visit a Christmas market and every year, I usually find an oh-so-lucky soul (or two) to drag with me for an evening of merriment, shopping and festive cheer around Worcester's Victorian Christmas Fayre. ...

After eventually finding out what 'Blogmas' is (blogging every day until the 25th), I have decided to give it a go! And what better way to kick it off than to do the Christmas Tag. ...
