Christmas DIY | Cinnamon wrapped candles

Due to this disgusting weather today and lack of light there wont be an outfit post today unfortunately, so i thought instead i would show you a quick and easy Chirstmas craft that anyone can do and requires little materials! Today I'm showing you how to make cinnamon wrapped candles which was an idea that i saw on pinterest and had to try out, they look so festive and the cinnamon sticks when broken up smell amazing and even better when there is a candle lit inside!

  What you will need:

An empty candle holder

Cinnamon sticks (health food stores,most supermarkets)

Any type of ribbon

Scissors

Double sided sticky tape

This is seriously so easy to do and took about 30 minutes of my time. Begin by measuring the cinnamon sticks against the candle holder and cut them with scissors to the desired length to fit around the holder. I ended up using 6 cinnamon sticks in total which cost me about a £1,seriously so cheap! Once they have all been cut into pieces apply a small strip of the double sided sticky tape to the sticks. When you have done that simply stick them around the candle holder so that they are almost touching. By now you should start to already smell how amazing the cinnamon is! Lastly, find a piece of ribbon or string and simply tie around the candle tightly ensuring that the cinnamon sticks stay in place! Hey presto its finished, all you have to do now is add a tea light! 

I hope you enjoyed reading a slightly different post today and let me know if you have a try after reading this! What do you think of cinnamon wrapped candles? Have you tried them before? Have you done any posts on christmas crafts?

IWOOT | Last minute quirky gift guide

1. iGlove - Touch Glove for iphone £6.99 2. Waterproof notebook* - £9.99 3. Pussy Magnet - £9.99 4. Icrayon touch stylus for mobile devices - £6.49 5. Travel edition scratch map - £10 6. Duck moodlight - £8
With one week to go until Christmas Eve i thought i would do one last gift guide showing you some unique and unusual quirky gifts that you really cant find on the high street. All of these presents featured are from I want one of those and are all under £10! 1. This is a perfect present for most people who own a phone! I didnt realise gloves like this even existed until a few weeks ago. There is nothing worse than having fingers so cold that you are unable to text or use your phone so this is the perfect answer to those problems!
2. I was actually lucky enough to test out the waterproof notebook. I was quite baffled as to how this would actually works as it claims to be 100 percent waterproof,non-smudge and 80 tear out pages. After using this i was so shocked that it actually is waterproof, as you can see from the picture below! It is amazing! There is nothing better than being able to sit in a bath and write down your thoughts/to do lists without the fear of dropping your notebook in the bath! An amazing present for all age groups.

3. I love the pussy magnet as much as i do the name! I am forever losing paperclips and can never find them when i need them,this is a perfect stationary present for the workers in your family. 
4. This is another great edition for your mobiles. I have never used a stylus pen before but i can see the attraction of them as my fingers are accidentally knocking different letters on my texts and accidentally liking peoples photos on Facebook haha, we have all been there! It is also not just an ordinary stylus pen but its shaped as a crayon,even better!
5. A scratch off map is actually something i have been after for a long time. As an avid traveller i like to see where i have already been and plan on where i want to go to next, im also a bit of a geography geek in the sense that i love knowing about all of these different places in the world, this is a perfect gift for the traveller in your life or even for children wanting to learn more about the world!
6. Last up is the duck moodlight which is a gift for all the bath lovers out there, i know the majorty of females are anyway! Baths are relaxing enough but i love the idea of a cute duck light in the bath and it is also much safer than candles!  Well there you have it, the final gift guide of 2013! What do you think of these gift ideas? Would you like a waterproof notebook this Christmas? Have you finished all of your Christmas shopping yet?

Just to let you all know that the blog made the exciting transition over to sleek-chic.co.uk this weekend! I think it was the right time to make the move as i have been blogging for almost 5 months now and i wanted it done in time for the new year!
Anyway onto today's outfit! The gorgeous bracelet that i'm wearing is from the lovely blogger Jay Chapman who has recently launched a new online shop called Birdy accessories which stocks various pieces of jewellery and some stunning phone covers. This cuff bracelet is available in gold online which is another versatile colour like silver and really does go with most outfits and colours! I love the little chain on the bracelet too and it goes perfectly with this outfit! 
I picked this dress up in Primark on the weekend for £13!!! I love finding gems like this in primark and the quality of it is fab. The velvet pattern looks so nice against the grey and the fit of it is so flattering. I think most people will be surprised that this is from Primark!
Thanks for reading and please go and check out Birdy accessories there are some gorgeous pieces online! What do you think of this outfit? Do you like the bracelet? What kind of jewellery do you like to wear?

OOTD | Fluffy Jumper

Fluffy Jumper - Topshop Shirt - Stradivarius Jeans - Topshop Necklace - New look Boots* - Bank Watch - Michael Kors
Hi everyone! I hope you're all having a lovely weekend what are you up to? I've attempted to do some more Christmas shopping this morning but i cant stand how busy everywhere is! But i did treat myself in boots as i have saved up my points for ages so i got an Origins drink me up intensive mask which i have wanted to try for so long. A review will be coming up as soon as I've had a try!
After months of searching for the perfect fluffy jumper in shops and online i have finally got one! I hadn't actually seen this mint colour one in Topshop before,as soon as i saw it i knew it was what i had been after! For £38 it is quiet expensive as i know Missguided sell them for around £20 and Primark's are £10 but the colours are so much brighter and you can really tell that the quality of the material is a lot better than Primark's. As much as i love shopping in Primark not everything is of a high quality!
 This has instantly become my favourite piece of clothing, i love how bright it is and the softness and fluffiness of it is insane, it feels like i'm wearing a glove! I also purchased this necklace yesterday, i love how low it hangs and the coloured jewels match perfectly with the jumper, it was only £6 from New Look too which was such a bargain!
What do you think of this outfit? Do you own a fluffy jumper? Where are your favourite jumpers from?
