3 student tips to glam up your Christmas

Just in time for this year’s festivities, she lets us in on easy, cost-effective ways to add some sparkle to your seasonal celebrations…

Hi everyone, it’s that time of year again… Christmas is right around the corner!

You’re probably looking for things to decorate your house, and makeup tips for the party season too.

Decorations:

I found Christmas decorations quite pricey for student pocket.

However, most UK towns and cities have pound shops, and these are perfect for giving your home a festive feel!

Here’s a few examples I have to share:

Poundland shelves

Here you can get a Christmas stocking to put your wish inside, trinkets for your Christmas tree, or a window sticker asking Santa to stop by. ^_^

Poundland’s Instagram posted this awesome example of how to add those extra touches to your bedroom to get into the festive spirit:

Christmas Markets:

This time of year, many cities have special markets, and the one in Cheltenham is exceptionally beautiful.

You can buy some handmade clothes for winter, jewellery, and accessories for the house, or eat tasty foods and drink some mulled wine.


Christmas party makeup:

Last of all, I love perfecting my yuletide look for parties and dinners for the holidays.
