I have decided that rather than do a December favourites blog post I would share with you my ultimate favourites from 2015.
For the past few days I've been looking at all the products I have, trying to decide, if I could just pick one as the best one from last year, which would I pick and I think I have made my choices!
Now it's very likely that more than one, if not all, of these products has already been featured in a monthly favourites blog post but that just goes to show how much I love them!
Beauty
Garnier pure active charcoal face scrub- I thought long and hard about my ultimate beauty favourite for this year, I've tried a variety of different products but this trumped all for one reason only, when I'm not using it (because I'm lazy) I can tell. My skin is more prone to breakouts when I stop using this but the minute I get back into a regular routine with it it all clears up. It's a completely magical product and one that I will continue using this year, if you suffer from breakouts or have oily to combination skin then I would highly recommend making this a part of your skin routine, morning or night, this year!
You can pick it up at most supermarkets, superdrug and boots and if you scroll down to my November favourites post there is a link for it so you can buy it now!!
Hair
VO5 Nourish my Shine Shampoo and Conditioner - This was another tough one, it was this or the Colab a model recommends dry shampoo but since I have already mentioned that in a favourites blog post I thought I would give this one a turn. I suffer with a sensitive scalp so it's really hard for me to find hair products that don't irritate it. I think I purchased this after seeing it in a Zoella video, it was that long ago I can't remember which one, and these are great. They don't irritate my scalp, they also really do leave your hair shiny and silky smooth!! Not to mention that the bottles are huge so they last forever, depending on how often you wash your hair.
Again, these can be found in most supermarkets boots and superdrug! http://www.boots.com/en/VO5-Nourish-My-Shine-Shampoo-400ml_1648669/
(Currently on offer at Boots)
Body
This was a no brainer, the body/bath product I have been loving this year is the Zoella Soak Opera. This product has been my go to one all year! Why?? 1. It smells amazing. 2. You can use it as either a body wash or as a bubble bath which is great, if you use it as a bubble bath I find that the Zoella Fizz Bar goes really well with that and 3. It comes in a massive bottle, so this could easily last you a month, if not two!
Only available at Superdrug and online at Feel Unique!

Music
Okay, so if you read my November favourites post you probably know what I'm about to say.... One Direction's Made in the A.M album is hands down my favourite album of the year. I haven't stopped listening to it since I got it. Just love it. Even if you don't love them I would recommend going and listening to a few of the songs from the album. My personal favourites (I mentioned a few in my November favourites blog post) are Wolves, Temporary Fix, Olivia Walking in the Wind, History..... All of them!!
Fan girling over.
And if I had to pick just one song from this year it has to be Style by T Swift! I see a theme going with this music ;) (yes it did take me a whole year to work out why it was called Style...... #awkward) every time this song comes on to my phone I never skip it. Love it. There's not much you can say about a song....
TV
So I don't watch a lot of TV or shows, I'm a hard person to please but one that really struck a chord with me this year was Nashville, not to mention the songs from the show are incredible.
The show is about country singers, there's more too it than that, all the obstacles they overcome and there is a lot because it's a drama, and the way they handle having a career and having a life and a family. The first 3 seasons are on NowTv and if you are in America you are lucky enough to have the fourth season airing already!! I don't want to say too much about it in case I ruin it for you but you should definitely check it out!
Film
Again another hard one, I saw a lot of good films in 2015, there were a lot that touched me and saw me through hard times, if you read my last blog post you will know that one of them is Cinderella. However, the one that stands out the most is Austenland. This is one of those cheesy chick flicks that doesn't have expensive lavish sets or award winning acting but is just a bit of fun and so funny! It's about a woman called Jane who is obsessed with Jane Austen books, she's been unlucky in love so decides to spend her savings on a trip to Austenland - a place where you truly step in to the world of Jane Austen - Obviously it isn't quite the experience that she was expecting, I will say no more than that! I found the character of Jane to be so relateable and the film is just so funny. If you love a bit of a cheesy chick filck you will love this!!
Random
Okay, so my really random favourite for 2015 is the Disney Tsum Tsums, if you live in Japan and maybe America you may have had these available for some time but they recently landed in the UK and it's a craze that has literally taken off.... Everywhere! I love that they are small because that means they don't take up too much space, mine a currently on my window ledge! It allows you to indulge in cute cuddly Disney things without having ones that take up bed or wardrobe space! But I warn you, they are addictive, once you buy one you want to buy more....and more... and more!! If you already love tsum tsums then a really great person to follow on Instagram is @tsumtsumtsum this person owns every tsum tsum known to man and also knows when things are coming out in America, UK and Japan, they are the fountain of all tsum tsum knowledge!! Below is a picture of my collection, I will soon be adding the Peter Pan ones too it. If you're interested in seeing my collection grow I always post on instagram when I get new ones, my link will be below! I think my favourite tsum tsum is King Triton, he's adorable!!! (This is an old picture taken before I moved them to my windowsill!)
Okay so this is another random one but I wanted to add my favourite actress/person from the spotlight from 2015 and the person that left an impression towards the back end of 2015 is Daisy Ridley. For those of you who may have been living under a rock she plays Rey in the new Star Wars film. I just think she's great, she reminds me of Jennifer Lawrence (who is my hero and favourite actress all the time, forever) which is probably why I like her. She seems, from interviews etc, very grounded and normal, which is nice! Also she loves the Great British Bake Off and anyone that loves a bit of Mary and Paul, I love! You can follow her on instagram @daisyridley and she is also on the cover of Glamour magazine (interview inside) if you are interested!!!! I think we will see great things from her this year!
Sorry that this is late going up, I have been at work since New Years Eve and just not had the time, hence why there's no pictures (apart from one old one and two I borrowed from Google)! You'll be happy to know this will be the last wordy blog post for a while. I'm going to plan some more useful blog posts for the up coming weeks, got a few products I want to try, maybe even some baking and cooking blogs!!
Find me on social media!
