I always find the end of a year a bit weird. Full of reflection and regrets. So I thought I'd compile a little collage of my favourite pictures from this year.
(Nothing about beauty, just boring pictures.)
The past couple of years have been pretty dire, and although this year didn't start brilliantly; I managed to change my luck slightly towards the end. I started this blog back in June, had one of my photos featured on TV and I wangled my way into the BBC for a week in November; so it's not all bad!
Happy New Year!

What smells more festive at this time of year than cinnamon?
This is my first ever Yankee Candle and although I was put off by the price, I must admit it smells fantastic. There's nothing more festive than your entire house being filled with the aroma of cinnamon.
I originally intended to put this in one of my Christmas Gift Guides, but completely forgot. Sorry. As you can see from the photos, it contains pure, natural spice extracts.
Despite the fact that it's a bit pricey (to me) for a candle, it makes a wonderful treat or gift for someone. This is the smaller candle, which is 104g. Although it's small, it's lasting really well. I've used mine sporadically since October and there's loads left.
On their website, the one I have is unavailable, but other versions of Cinnamon Stick are on offer, such as tealights for £6.99 or a medium candle for £14.99.

Guarantee you'll be addicted to the smell of this.
It's that time of year when there's so much going round, it's essential to protect yourself. This is a lovely hand sanitiser from The Body Shop to do just that!
The smell is so strong but wonderful; that you'll probably want to guzzle an entire punnet of strawberries... or you'll get Wimbledon flashbacks.
There's no stickiness and it dries really quickly. This gel isn't too drying either, so if you suffer from dry skin or dermatitis, it shouldn't aggravate it.
It contains no triclosan, which I had to Google. Apparently it's a controversial antibacterial agent which causes liver cancer in mice. So it's good news for humans, because it could do the same to us over time. Thanks Body Shop for not putting potentially carcinogenic ingredients into your products. Much appreciated.
I'm a bit of a mysophobe, so I know my hand sanitisers. (Saddo.) This won't necessarily protect you against all germs, but it smells so nice! While we're on the negatives, it's not the cheapest of hand gels out there, but I think the main attraction to it is the strawberry scent.
I wouldn't recommend it if you're not keen on strong fruity scents, or if you're looking for something to give you a high level of protection against bacteria. If you do buy it, I'm warning you now, you might end up licking or eating your own hands...
You can buy it online for £2.50 by clicking here, or pop into your local store and buy it for £3.

Excuse the poor pun that forms the title of this post.
If you read yesterday's post, you'll already know that I had a lot of trouble wading through the snow on Boxing Day. This post is not about beauty, but a bit of a rant instead. Sorry in advance.
