Happy New Year!

Oh my lordy, Christmas has been and gone and here we are on New Years Eve getting ready to Welcome in 2014! My family and me have a yearly tradition of listening to music, playing games such as Boggle and we always have a toast of Champagne at 12am! 

We always have nibbles during the night so we tend not to have a big dinner, probably just a sandwich! 

Well... Happy New Year and See you tomorrow for my first OOTW of 2014!!!!

Cuddles and Celebrations!

Blogmas Day 26: Presents, 1 Year of Blogging & The End!

❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄

This is my last post for Blogmas 2013!! How crazy quick has that gone?! Make sure you stay tuned for more posts in the new year, along with a new blogging schedule which is playing to my advantage between my personal life too! I thought I'd share some of the gifts I got for Christmas (and no I'm not showing off, I'm not a 'showing off' sort of person, so please don't take this the wrong way!)

1. Sewing Machine - I got the sewing machine I've been banging on about for god knows how long!! This means so many more exciting things for me - I may after a while start making my own clothes!!! I'm so happy with this, its made my complete life!!!

2. Soap and Glory Bath Set - My little brother bought this for me, he knows I love S&G so a very easy choice to make! I can never own enough S&G products anyway!! (My collection is forever growing!)

3. Betty Boop 'Dressed to Chill' Pyjamas - oh my complete life these are the comfiest things in the whole entire universe. The bottoms are a soft fleece material (I feel like a teddy bear in these, I don't even know why!) and the top is a soft cotton cream top with Betty Boop on it!

4. Betty Boop Set of Socks -  yes, the Betty Boop theme carrys on! I got some socks (cause I'm forever never able to find my socks!) and they are Betty Boop ones so its like perfection in sock form...

5. Simply Be Gold Christmas Bow Top - This is super cute to go with some of my more casual outfits that aren't full on rockabilly/pinup (yes I do dress down quite a lot, even though you may not believe me!)

6. Mary Berry Cookbook - we actually already own this book but my mum accidentally bought it again... At least I have my own copy!!

7. Back Seamed Black Tights - our close family friend bought me these, and oh my life, I am amazingly thankful!!!!!!!!!! Not many people would have even thought of this! Most people would be disappointed with tights - but me, I'm amazingly thankful, as these are super tough tights too!!!!

8. Billie Joe and Norah 'Foreverly' CD - This CD is complete perfection, much more folky and its actually a reinterpretation of the Everly Brothers Album 'Songs Our Daddy Taught Us'. This CD is beautiful, especially if you want to hear the other musical side of Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day. Highly recommend this CD!

9. Next Faux Fur Hood and Gloves - My aunt bought me these, and they are absolutely adorable! *waits for the snow to come to wear these*

10. Terry's Chocolate Orange Segments - Again from my aunt cause she always gives us chocolate!

I can't believe how this first year of Blogging has gone so quickly, one year on, 52 followers (and growing), I've had my first giveaway, I've done 26 consecutive days of blogging, starting to get into doing more YouTube videos and met some amazing people along the way!

Happy Birthday Anchors Away Beauty blog!!

Much love and cuddles and thank you for being a part of this - if it wasn't for you following my blog - I wouldn't have carried on doing it!

Lots of Love

Blogmas Day 25: Christmas Day 'Baby Its Cold Outside' OOTW!

❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄

This is a scheduled post today - seeing as its Christmas day I don't really want to be on the computer as I'm so traditional that Christmas day is about family! I thought I'd show you what I'm wearing today and what I will be doing!

Cream Fur Coat, Primark - £35

Hell Bunny Nell Burgundy Dress, Rockabilly Pinup - £31.50

Ivory Pearls, Collectif - £15

Black Tights, New Look - £4.99

Black Alpine Clover, Clarks - £39.99

My make-up is pretty simple and basic, I have some lovely shimmery gold eye-shadow for the glitzy Christmas effect along with some thick winged eye-liner! My lips are a burgundy colour to match my dress this is the Rimmel Lipstick in shade 107! (Cheeky little mince pie too, can never get enough!)

My itinerary for the day is pretty calm and relaxed! Mum and me get up at around 7 as mum makes Christmas Morning Cranberry breakfast cupcakes and I make pancakes! After we have all had a hot cuppa (I always have a super luxury hot chocolate on Christmas morning!) we then proceed to open presents, we don't normally start till about well 9.30-10 and by the time we finish its time to sort everything out and then start getting things ready for lunch. The dogs normally go out for a play with all their new toys until lunch time were they get spoilt rotten by me giving them around a tonne of treats (they only get spoiled on their birthday's and Christmas and they work it off so its fine!). We normally have lunch about 12-1pm and its generally just an array of things such as the ham my mum cooks and cheese and crackers and pork pie and nuts and crisps - basically a platter to be honest! This year I'm going to take the dogs for a Christmas walk because I feel I just need some time alone to reminisce everything and how much things have changed from last year. We then just put the radio on, play Boggle as this is always a tradition (and I always end up crying with laughter because my mum just writes 'new' words into the dictionary and I can't control my laughter). Me and mum then start preparing dinner just so we don't get too stressed out and we can relax. Instead of Christmas Crackers we have the idea of a table present (this is normally just a joke present which no more then £5). We split the Christmas dinner up between us - Dad does the starter, mum does the main and I do the dessert! After we just relax and watch all the Christmas programmes, I get into my new pyjamas with yet another hot chocolate and then I go to bed and relax and sleep and cuddle up!

Well I hope you have a fantastic Christmas and may all your wishes come true!

Lots of Christmas Love

Emma Victoria

Blogmas Day 24: The Night Before Christmas...

❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄

"Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house.

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care.

In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there".

I thought that would be the perfect way to start this post... The beginning of this fantastic Christmas poem. Tonight is the big night! St Nick is coming, have you been naughty or nice?!

Today has been a super hectic day getting everything ready and prepared... After a busy day I've settled down with a malibu and coke before jumping into my pyjamas and having a shower.

On Christmas Eve night we leave out a Bottle of Beer and a homemade Mince Pie for St Nick (don't forget some carrots for the reindeer!)...

This years beer is the Blandford Flyer which has a spicy ginger undertone to the golden amber ale.

ITS TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blogmas Day 20: Holiday is here!

❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄

So today I have finally finished college for 2013 and I can now begin to chill out for the next few weeks for Christmas and New Year! My last lesson today was English which I enjoy so much! English is like my most favourite subject in the whole wide world ever (apart from when I have to write essays...). The thought also dawned on me that this was my last college lesson of 2013... Scary stuff. 

Oh well I can relax now and watch some Christmas movies...

What's your favourite Christmas movie? Mine at the moment (apart from Robbie the Reindeer!) has to be Arthur Christmas!

REMEMBER - 3 BITS OF STICKY TAPE! (You'd get it if you've seen the film...)

So close to Christmas now!

Blogmas Day 6: Christmas Wishlist!

❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄

I had a cute little idea which I did for my 18th birthday and I thought I'd do the same and do a Christmas Wishlist!

1. Sewing Machine - I've wanted a sewing machine for a while as I really want to start getting crafty and making things again, and this one from Next is just adorable & affordable!

2. Lady Million Perfume - I'm running low on perfume again, my D&G One perfume is getting to the littlest it can get (insert sad face here), I can never decide what perfume's I actually like, but I definitely like Lady Million and Black XS by Paco Rabanne - Okay I just like Paco Rabanne

3. Despicable Me 2 - I just LOVE the minions, and I still haven't seen this, and I really want to see it, and I really want to own it!! Yeah... I just really like the minions.

4. Collectif Mina Bag - You may have noticed a re-occurrence  I still actually haven't bought this bag yet, and I really still love it - you never know I guess?

5. Hell Bunny Pink Olive Dress - My god do I love this dress, I know I have loads of dresses but I really like this one! :(

6. SkullKandy Headphones - My babies broke a couple of months back and now I'm stuck with little ear bud ones, I really badly want some more Skullkandy headphones as they were the best headphones I ever owned!

7. iPad Mini White - Technological items aren't normally on my Christmas list, but a little iPad would be helpful with organising things and taking to places instead of caring a load of heavy stuff like my laptop.

Well I hope you enjoyed!

19 Days till Christmas!

Lots of Love

Blogmas Day 5: House Decorations

❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄

Today's post is probably quite similar to Tuesdays post in the fact its gonna be a tonne of pictures of what me and my mum have done decoration wise downstairs for the whole family! 

This is the first view you get when you come down the stairs. So
many pretty lights!!!!!!

We put these red lights by the front windows and ice white on the
plant. Festive exotic plants!

This window has by far got to be my favourite. Our little gingerbread family!
The warm white lights just make it so magical!

The ceiling to floor entrance window all jazzed up with some snowflake window stickers
these are on all the windows downstairs & ice white lights!

My mum has always wanted nutcrackers - because of having not many decorations
in the kitchen (Safety and all) we have these on the windowsill.

Aren't these adorable and so vintage?! Bought these 7 years ago
and still look fantastic!

My little elf, robin and tree display by the hi-fi and CD/DVD storage. Too adorable!

By the front window we have this gorgeous lit up and rotating Christmas tree -
This is 9 years old and is still works perfectly!

My mum bought this St.Nick 13 years ago from BHS - we both love him so much!

I know it was another picture post, but I just thought it'd be lovely to share! Also we are getting out tree this weekend which means at some point I will do a post on that Christmas tree maybe. The tree is going to be in the middle of the 5 bi-folding doors and my mum and myself will be decorating it!

20 Days till Christmas!

Coco kisses and cuddly hugs!

Blogmas Day 2 - The 2013 Christmas Tag!

❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄

So my lovely friend Steff from Stephanie Maverick tagged me in this way back in November but I 
decided I would do this for my first post of Blogmas! I will be scheduling posts seeing as I'm so busy over this time of the year! 

1.  Do you prefer a real Christmas tree or synthetic?

In my house we kind of have a real and a synthetic - in my room I have a slimline 6ft synthetic tree which I put up on the 1st November (I don't care what anyone thinks - I just love Christmas so much!!). However, downstairs we have a real tree because my dad always insists on having a real tree. This year we have got to decide whether we are going to get a real one because of the puppy - but its likely we will still have one!

2.  You're in a coffee shop, it's December, what do you pick?

Hmm - I'm currently really loving the Chocolate & Orange Mocha Latte at Costa from the Autumn (I go to costa pretty much every day when I'm at college!) 

3.  Whats your favourite colour scheme for decorating the tree?

I used to be very different to my mum I always used to have just white decorations with crystal white lights and white doves but I've now kind of grown up over the years and become more traditional, much like my mum. My mum decorates our tree very rich as we believe more is less on the tree as we always get a 6ft tall tree which is very wide and bushy! This year my colour scheme for my tree is Red, Green, Gold and White.

4.  Giving or receiving?

I absolutely love giving presents no doubt about it - I do need to start making my presents for close friends and putting their bags together!

5.  To mince pie or not to?

 I had my first mince pie around mid October already - I adore mince pies and I need to make some in December for my family!

6.  What's your traditional Sunday lunch?

We kind of have a huge table full of food for Christmas, our traditional Sunday lunch we have is very boring so I'll tell you about my families Christmas dinner instead - ready for the list?...: Turkey, Ham, Pigs in Blankets (Sausages wrapped in bacon), roasted Chestnuts, Sprouts, French Beans, Peas, Carrots, sweetcorn, Roasted potatoes, mash potato, homemade Yorkshire puddings, bread sauce, gravy (2 different gravy's) and a few other things too... We are fatties at Christmas.

7.  Christmas day fashion

 Every year my mum makes me buy a new dress for Christmas - I have no say whether its a dress or not. I haven't actually got my dress yet, I haven't really seen one I've fallen in love with. We all dress up really smart and in nice clothes but this year I'm debating whether to just re-wear a new dress because of Alice as she keeps putting her muddy paws all over me and my clothes.

8.  What's your favourite Christmas song?

I have a favourite Album at the moment and that's Alexander Rybak's 'Christmas Tales' album - it had such beautiful covers on it as well. He is probably my favourite violinist - ever.

9.  What's your favourite Christmas film?

I watch around 30 christmas films per year staring on the 1st November - but my favourite Christmas film has to be ROBBIE THE REINDEER!!!!!!!

10.  Open presents before or after lunch?

Me and my mum believe Christmas is for children so we always open our presents first thing in the morning because when we were younger it meant we had all day to play with our presents until Christmas dinner at 5pm (we have our dinner in the evening so we go to bed all sleepy and our afternoon isn't wasted as we always play a family game!).

Oh this is getting me SOOOO excited for Christmas!! Not long - ONLY 23 DAYS! 

Lots of Love

Blogmas Day 1: Glad Tidings!

❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄

Welcome all to BLOGMAS - I have never before done nearly a whole month of blogging every single day. The prospect is worrying about how I'm going to fit everything in, but obviously if something completely disastrous comes up then I will probably do 2 posts in one day (but hopefully that never happens!)

I'm going to do an array of Christmasy things on my blog and some posts may be videos too as well as picture posts for when I go to Winter Wonderland in London (there is going to be more then 1 trip!)

Today I just want to share some of the pictures from last Christmas with my family and pictures I had taken through December!

Christmas Photoshoot 2012

Christmas Dinner Table 2012 (Decorated by me)

The Christmas tree & Bi-Folding doors mum and me decorated last year!

100 Little Things Part 2!

Lets start where we finished off last time on part 1 to this post (Make sure you read it before you read the first 50 facts about me!)

51. My butt and boobs are probably the hardest things to buy for ever.
52. Even though I model my self confidence is still only 5% - but its always growing!

57. My camera's seem to magically just break or lose battery extremely fast before my eyes.
58. I'm probably the worst person in the world at editing YouTube videos.
59. I still need to do my Rockabilly look book that I promised my friend I'd do 5 months ago (I will do it, I know I will!)

65. I have watched the Gavin and Stacey box set around 100 times - that is no word of a lie.
66. My favourite film to watch at Christmas has to be Robbie the Reindeer - I'm pretty damn obsessed with that DVD.
67. My most embarrassing moment has to be when mum and me were shopping in Lidl and we got told we cant pay by credit card - neither of us had our debit cards on us (in our defence on their website it says all stores take Mastercard and Visa credit cards so it isn't really our fault as we did check).
68. I get really nervous when posting a YouTube video - I don't really know why.
69. I haven't done a driving lesson since the last week of June.
70. I have already bought all my Christmas presents for 2013 and already starting to wrap them!
71. I go on a strict detox 2 days before a gig and on the gig day to make sure my voice and body are in perfect condition when I go on stage.
72. The biggest crowd I have ever sang in front of is 300 people - and I was really scared.
73. My ex was the one who encouraged me to start singing some of my own songs - even though he never actually read any of them.
74. Only 3 people have ever looked at my song/poem book.
75. I am finally getting back into waist training with a corset after an 8 month break.
76.  I'm really scared about doing my driving test.
77. My favourite drink I buy in the shops is the Drench Cranberry and Raspberry drink.
78. I like my coffee really strong with 2 sugars and a small dash of milk.
79. I always get my Christmas stuff down on 1st November and do my Christmas tree. I have a fake tree for my bedroom but we get a real tree for downstairs in the living in December.
80. I have a bad obsession with penguins.
81. I really don't like having to study video games in Media - they bore me to complete death.
82. I wish I never gave up photography A2 - but I really wanted to focus more on English as I'm really passionate about English.
83. I'm specialised in working with children with severe disabilities and I specialise in children with Cerebral Palsy and quadriplegia.
84. I can never work when I know my brother is in hospital - don't even try to cheer me up as it won't work.
85. I never thought I would get to 40 followers on my blog - let alone 5!
86. I'm really struggling to think of more facts about me....
87. I really love Blackcurrant and Raspberry Jelly.

97. I built all the furniture in my room apart from my bed.
98. I really need to re-new my gym membership.
99. I'm going to stay up to watch the Ashes in Australia on tele - because I love Stuart Broad.
100. Even though I'm still battling with my health and depression I've become a much happier person in the last year after leaving the 2 boys who said they admired me to the end of the world and back. I'm finally back on my feet, slowly and steadily, but even with my trust issues still in place I'm meeting some nice lads who are proving to me there are still some nice lads around!

Well that's it! If you have any blog suggestions then make sure you comment! Don't forget to join my blog via GFC on the right hand side - at 50 followers I'll be holding a giveaway!

14. I'm forever dreaming to one day go in a Hudson Hornet - this will complete my life.

28. I already know what I want my wedding dress to look like.

Apologies & Life Update!

I am so super sorry for the lack of posts since last Wednesday  I know I promised you another tag post however I had to do some really last minute shopping (which I'll explain below). I will try and keep to my normal schedule but for now please bare with me with uploading posts as I have some major news that has happened and its taking up all my time. 

LIFE UPDATE!!!!!!!!

As many of you know, that have been following my blog, my twitter or my Facebook that I have been looking at getting another dog - and here she finally is! Her name is Alice and she is a Black Labradoodle! (For those who don't know a Labradoodle is a cross between a Labrador and a Poodle). We had a phone call Friday night saying if we would like to come to the Emergency Kennels and come and meet her to decide if we wanted to adopt her. We visited on Saturday afternoon after dropping my brother off at school for respite and we picked my dog up and went to Chessington, near London. Alice was in the run where we were introduced to her and she met Freddie - they got on really well! We asked if we could take her for a walk, and they said we could. She was really good and actually walked better when walking with Freddie then on her own.  Alice is around 1 year old and is really jumpy and playful at the moment. Alice has actually come over from Dublin, Ireland after being left and mistreated by her former home. We are finding out something new about Alice everyday (and she's learning something new too...) - for the next few weeks my blog posts will be a bit on the slow side because I am having to train Alice from scratch as she isn't house trained and she didn't even know the command 'sit'. Alice's story is not a one of a kind, many dogs have been mistreated and have a similar story - Alice now has a loving (and relatively calm) home where she will be given lots of love and cuddles with her brother Freddie!

My OOTW will be up tomorrow as I already have this pre-planned! 

Lots of Love

OOTW: Travelling

Okay, as I explained in some of my earlier posts, I'm doing my OOTW today, instead of tomorrow as I just won't have the time tomorrow! Tomorrow, I have to go to college for my English Lesson, then the travelling begins... I have to get the train from Lewes to Guildford... then I have to have to wait in my dad's work (which I've never been to before) for around 45 minutes when we will leave to go to Blackpool (staying overnight at my aunt's) to then travel to Burnley for my Great Aunt's funeral on Wednesday  So because of all the travelling, I thought my OOTW would be inspired by the fact that even though you can have relaxing and comfortable clothes, you can still look good too!

Yellow Spot Loose Blouse, Next (SALE) - £8

Black Leggings, Peacocks - £12 (2 pack)

Pink Patent Handbag, Next - £40

Grey Ella 'Ugg' Boots, Amazon - £15.99

My nails are painted with the Mavala 'Touch of Provence' (lilac) and the Rimmel Lasting Finish in 'Hot Shot'. I just have my hair tied up into a high pony tail, however I may opt to have a half up/half down do, tomorrow, just to make it a little more 'chilled'.

Sorry this is a super quick post, but I've been busy at work and packing today and trying to sort out my silly emotions!

Millions of Love & Cuddles!

Weekly Overview; 23rd June!

Hello my lovelies! I'm currently just sat in bed, with a croaky voice drinking some (not so yummy) Throat Coat (just so you know this is a drink I have after I've done a gig, its just a herbal tea to help soothe the throat and repair any damage!). If you read last weeks post, you'd know that yesterday I played a private gig at a wedding so a big congratulations to Claire and Rick who booked us for your special day! So lets see what I've got planned this week...

Today is probably going to amount of doing next to nothing! Oh, and sitting out on the decking and enjoy the sun (well, what we have of it!) I might also be planning on doing a video soon on my YouTube! 

Monday First of all, I have to go to my brothers clinic as he has to have botox in his legs (he is quadriplegic and he can't walk, so he has botox to help relax the muscles in his legs to make day to day things like standing in his stander and walking in his frame a little bit easier). Afterwards, I will go to college for my media lesson, and then come home to pack! I will also bed doing my OOTW on monday, because I won't be able to tomorrow!

Tuesday I get a lay in, as I'm not working Monday Night for a change! I have college from, 10.40 -12, however, I'm not sure if it's on as we had an email saying our teacher may not be there! After this, I am then going to Guildford! Not really the most exciting thing in the world, but I have to meet my dad at his work around 3 o'clock as we are driving up to Blackpool as we are going to stay with my aunt. I should be getting to Guildford around 2-2.30 and my dad and me will be leaving at 3.30-4, so if anyone has any suggestions what I can do, I'd be super grateful!

Wednesday I am really not looking forward to today... Today is the day I have to say goodbye to my Great Aunt Grace who my family sadly lost on the 11th June. The funeral is in Burnley, so I will be with my family all today, and travelling back home in the evening. Today will be very emotional and a hard today to go through.

Thursday Today I will be working from 12-5, so a short day to be relatively honest! And after I will come home and just relax, and do nothing, except sleep!

Friday I have a lay in as my work don't need me in today, so I am just going for lunch with my lovely band to discuss set lists, songs, and new songs we have written. Afterwards, I will just come home and relax and maybe take my dog for a walk to just take things off my mind!

Saturday I've no idea what I have planned yet, I know I'm not working, so it may just be a day at home relaxing again and just to get little jobs done!

Its another one of them weeks, when not much is really going on, however it will be very emotional, so relaxation will be needed. Stay tuned for next week's weekly update! Its nearly the end of June! Which means, July is nearly round the corner and so is my 18th Birthday on the 12th July!

Lots of Love

Emma Victoria
