Life Update - What I Got For Christmas 2021, Hair Glow Up & Transformation - I Got New Hair Extensions & I've Finally Started a YOUTUBE CHANNEL?!

Hey everyone!! I hope you are all doing well and have had a lovely January and start to your 2022. I am here to post a little bit of a life update, and catch you up on what's been happening over the last couple of weeks. As you know I usually post a What I Got For Christmas blog post every year, as they are always so highly requested, however, whilst I was on annual leave between Christmas & New Year I started to think about my dreams and goals for 2022 and I thought back to my 15 year old selfs dream of starting a Youtube Channel. As you know, I've mentioned on my instagram @emmapavier and in previous blog posts that this has always been the ultimate goal of mine, but I've never had the confidence to just go for it! I have written out my What I Got For Christmas posts for many years; 2016, 2017, 2019 & 2020 and I always enjoyed sharing those with you and taking photos of the beautiful gifts I received. However, I would always spend a few days after Christmas watching everyone's Youtube video versions of these posts and loved them - I had a few messages asking me to film a video instead and I thought, what better time to start than a new year.  So, here we are, I started my Youtube channel on the 1st January 2021 and I have to date filmed, edited and uploaded 3 videos and I am so genuinely happy I've now started!!

I hope you enjoy the 2021 gift guide series!

Decorating our first Christmas tree in our first home & I'm back BLOGGING!! ♡

Hey everyone!!! I am so excited to be back blogging, just in time for the festivities to begin. I have so much to catch you all up on, my last blog post was back in May (wow - 6 months ago!) and it was a glow up post lockdown. I think, like many of us, getting back to some sort of normality took a lot of getting used to, seeing family and friends again, having days out and in that process we also moved into our first home together in July - so we've been focusing for the past few months on making it a home and now we're all settled, I've realised just how much I've missed sitting down and typing a blog post to speak to you all, I hope you've missed me too! I have had lot's of requests to start up again. So, I thought - what better post to do than to show you how we decorated our first ever Christmas tree (I know we are early - we actually put it up LAST WEEKEND) and our living room. I'm so pleased with how it looks and I've had lot's of messages asking where things are from - so I thought I could share that in this post, incase you are looking for inspiration too. Lot's and lot's of posts coming your way - including christmas gift guides yay!

Trying BROW SOAPS for the first time?! Review + First Impressions

Hey, hi, hello! Hope you are all well. In today's post as you can see from the title I am going to be trying and giving you my honest review on testing BROW SOAPS for the first time!!! I was kindly asked by Marie if she could send me her range of brow soaps to try (AD - PR Product) and of course I said yes as I had been wanting to try brow lamination for the longest of times and when this was a huge trend last year I just absolutely loved the fluffy/fuller looking brows and how AMAZING everyone's eyebrows looked but didn't give it a go myself. However, now we are in lockdown again and unable to get our brows done... so anything to help keep our brows looking fab is a need and a want. Let's get into it, what they are, how to use, the range plus my thoughts...

Hello my loves, I hope you are all well and staying safe. This is my first blog post of 2021... so before we get started I want to wish a Happy New Year to you all - sending everyone so much love in these current times. I hope you enjoy my first post of the new year and enjoy taking some time with a cuppa, some biscuits and a little chill-out time to read this post and catch-up with me. This year I will be doing two blog posts each month, and if you have any recommendations you'd like me to write about then please let me know in the comments. I asked over on my Instagram if you'd like to see me doing a tanning series this year where I review/give my first impressions of tans you want me to try! And possibly mascaras/foundations too - like a little beauty edition? Do let me know if you'd be interested! I always like reading other people's reviews to see if I want to purchase myself! A blog post I love to read at the start of a new year is a Best Of  post which covers that persons favourite beauty, skincare and haircare products that they've tried and if they make it into their yearly favourites... you know it's worth it. Now, a big trend on Youtube a few years ago (and probably still is now, I just don't watch them each month) is a monthly favourites, but I always loved the YEARLY favourites more as those are their absolute holy-grail products. The creme de la creme - must have products that they cannot be without! And I've decided to give it a whirl at doing this post myself and tell you my STANDOUT favourites of 2020. Hope you enjoy...

What I Got For Christmas 2020 ♡

Hello everyone, I hope you are all well and have been enjoying the Christmas festivities and holiday period if you celebrate it. A very different Christmas this year for us all... and year as a whole infact. I really did debate whether or not to post a What I Got For Christmas blog post this year, but throughout the year (as like previous years) I had lot's of messages asking me to go ahead and post this still! So, I thought I would also ask you to vote on a poll over on my Instagram if I should and over 90% said yes - I really enjoy watching these Youtube videos, or reading the blog posts that other people do aswell to get present inspiration for family and friends birthdays coming up the following year and seeing what everyone received. As I do state each time I do these posts, in no way, shape or form is this post to brag about what I received, I am doing this post as it was so highly requested. I really and truly am ever so grateful to my amazing and lovely family, friends and boyfriend for all the lovely presents they kindly gave me this year. Christmas time for me is all about creating memories, spending time with your loved ones, relaxing & eating good food! I truly do enjoy spoiling them at Christmas and I spend weeks, months even planning the gifts I want to get them to give back as I really do love them and appreciate all that they do for me, and there is no better feeling than seeing them happy with their gifts. It's not about the pressies under the tree, it's about those around it. I was unable to see my Grandad for Christmas this year which was truly heartbreaking but cannot wait to have a late Christmas with him when we can get together again. My thoughts are with everyone at this time - sending you all lots of love!!

BPerfect Cosmetics x Jac Jossa 1 Hour Express Mousse Tan Review & First Impressions

Hi everyone, hope you are all well! I recently decided to try out a new tan since I got my hair extensions a few weeks ago I have been searching for a fast developing tan so I didn't need to sleep with it on overnight and ensure no tan went onto my new hair (something I've noticed in the past as when your asleep your hair can fall down and go onto your tan.) So the one I found that sounded really good was by a brand called BPerfect Cosmetics and it is in collaboration with Jac Jossa. Initially, I liked the fact that this was a 1 hour express mousse, but the more I looked into it I also found out it is also baby powder scented which sounded amazing, I was sold and just had to try it as I really dislike the smell of tanning and baby powder is a fresh scent! I asked on my Instagram @emmapavier give me a follow if you don't already - if you would like to see me review this and you all said YES!!! This is the second tan I have tried this year as I have been using another for the past year but the only reason I wanted to try this is due to the fact it develops so quickly and will now work better for me I still absolutely love the other tan and highly recommend it - check my previous blog posts for reviews and before/after photo's but for now, let's go into more detail about the BPerfect Cosmetic x Jac Jossa tan... Hope you enjoy!

AUTUMN/WINTER POST LOCKDOWN OUTFIT IDEAS & LOOKBOOK 2020 | A/W STYLE

Hello everyone! I hope you are all well and staying safe - I'm sending you all lots of love and positive vibes after the news we had in the UK recently of a second lockdown. I have put together a little A/W styling outfit lookbook for you all sharing the outfits I've been loving! I've been exploring and experimenting more with fashion over the last couple of months and the last lookbook I did you all loved - so hopefully you do enjoy this one too as I think I've found some amazing pieces and some staple items which you can definitely re-wear and switch up to create different looks.

There are SO many different trends each season, which I personally find quite overwhelming to keep up with and I never really have been one to have all of the 'on trend' fashion items. However this A/W there has been a few pieces which I think will remain in season/fashion for many years too come, so was worth adding to my wardrobe (and let's be honest - if we like something, it makes us feel confident and we feel good in it - there is no expiry date to the outfit in my eyes!) I'm going to list some of the trends I am loving so far this Autumn and Winter and then show you how I'll style them - long coats, neutral shades for tops and trousers, knitted dresses, aviator jackets, biker boots, blazers and long knitted tops, vests & cardigans.

A DREAM COME TRUE... I've wanted this for years!!!

 Hey everyone, so I just wanted to write a super quick blog post to share some EXCITING NEWS!!! I have finally treated myself to something I've thought about getting for years and years but never actually gone ahead with or looked into further, just a thought of 'I would love that one day!' and guess what... that day has FINALLY come and I have treated myself to hair extensions. I was so unsure whether to get them or not and started to search on social media to find the right person for me. I came across a page called @emilyjanehair and saw lot's local girls to me going to her aswell and I was just obsessed with how amazing the quality of their hair looked so I messaged her, and I am so grateful I did. I don't know why but I felt so nervous reaching out for information, because I had only ever tried clip in's years ago at School before! She was super helpful and explained all that I needed to know and booked me in for a consultation. (So - take note, JUST MESSAGE THEM and ask for some information - you don't know unless you ask!) After my consultation, I was super happy with everything (including making an instant connection with Emily, she felt like a friend straight away and I knew my hair was in the safest hands with her - which is a vital part for me!) and we went ahead and booked in my appointments and waited for the day to come - I was so excited - this was a real pinch me moment, something I've dreamt of having for years and I'm proud of going ahead and doing it!
