Why can't Christmas come sooner?
But I don't want it to come too soon 'cos I don't want it to fly by since I love Christmas so freakin' much...

I can't believe we've already made it to Christmas Eve in my #ChristmasBloggers series! I hope all the participants had fun in the series!

Aaaaaah CHRISTMAS is TOMORROW! Where did 2013 go (as every blogger and YouTuber says...)?

Anyway! This time last year I posted a similar blog post and I though I'd keep to the tradition of posting about what I did in Dublin yesterday and how excited I am! It's so weird how much Dorky, Fizzy and Quirky Stuff has changed a year later and how much I have changed a year later (no not just the fact I used a not-so-amazing-quality-picture camera...). I still remember writing that post! That's so bizarre...

 I'll do a more detailed post on how brilliant the past year was 
on New Year's Eve.

On with la post (and the crappy quality photos from my iPod!)



Merry Christmas in Irish


My Dad's lovely coffee
Cute owl decoration :)

Brown Thomas Window Display
I didn't buy anything apart from black pumps for my Christmas Day outfit and tights. Otherwise. I just browsed around in different shops with my family and we went for dinner in Fallon & Byrne. I had a chicken Caesar salad and it was divine! We went home extremely tired that night...

The lights were so pretty on Grafton Street as they are every year. It was so Christmas-sy... and very busy with the crowds of people. It was tricky trying to get past everyone!

That's all I did in Dublin; it was a fun day out!

My Advent Calendar :)



Today, on the eve of Christmas, the household has been getting ready for the big day tomorrow. All of my cousins will be coming over, and I'll tell your more about it on St. Stephen's Day. I have been cleaning my room for most of today, plus I got to see my neighbours and we revealed who our Kris Kindles/Secret Santas were. From one of the girls, I got 4 gorgeous hair clips, a make up bag, a selection box, and false nails. For another girl, I gave her a nail polish, a lip-gloss, an eye-shadow set, a face mask and a selection box.

Now I'm going to a family friend's house for a short while before we head off to Mass at 9 pm! In between we'll be finishing off our preparation for Christmas Day... which is tomorrow I mean deceugcugkvqwugcghe!

What I HOPE Santa will bring (I don't mind if I don't get anything from here, it's just a wishlist...)

  • Nicki Minaj Pink Friday Perfume
  • Make up and beauty products
  • Lauren Conrad Style book
  • Clothes (Aeropostale and American Eagle)
  • CDs (One Direction, Katy Perry...)
  • Surprises :)



What are you hoping to get tomorrow? What will you be doing on Christmas Day?

Check out the other girl's posts and their twitters
HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO THEM!!!

Dorkiness, Fizziness and Quirkiness #2: Wicked the Musical OOTD + a Small November/December Favourites




Belt the following lyrics out as you wish:
"I think I'll try defying gravity!"





Blazer: Bershka
Top: Hollister
Necklace: Molly Brown
Trousers: Unknown
Boots: Dunnes Stores



Welcome to post numero dos of Dorkiness, Fizziness and Quirkiness. 

On Saturday, I went to see one of my all time favourite musicals, Wicked, in Dublin. I saw it before in London three years ago with my family and it was spectacular, let me tell you. 

I went again this year but at home with a good friend of mine and my mum, dad, sister and my little cousin and auntie. It was part of my friend's and cousin's Christmas presents. I had so much fun, and the performance was just as amazing as West End! The girl acting out Glinda was specifically hilarious, and Elphaba was fantastic, as all Elphabas are.

My cousin was so curious afterwards, like why Elphaba and Nessa Rose had two different dads but the same mother. Oh the young and innocent. :D

I know above I'm wearing a very similar outfit to what I posted on Saturday (here), but I think it suited the occasion well.

November/December Favourites 2013

The reason I'm combing my favourites and that it is quite small is because I hadn't tried out many new products recently. I hope you enjoy 
this anywho...

Beauty


Vaseline Spray & Go Body Moisturiser in Cocoa Butter
This is such a handy product and is so simple to use. You just spray to any desired area on your body, rub the formula in and it drys very quickly. It's fragrance is unique, not what I expected, but I like it! It's perfect for when you're in a rush, just like my next favourite...

Batiste Dry Shampoo in Wild
This bad boy is back once again. I think I need to reduce the amount of Batiste dry shampoos I buy next year... As I've said many times before, Batiste is terrific and just an all-rounder. Every single scent they have is super good!

Fashion


My major fashion favourite through these past two months has definitely been my fake Doc Martens from Dunnes. They look very similar to the real ones and are surprisingly comfortable and easy to walk in for a long period of time. They're in fashion this winter season and you can wear anything with them. I lalala love them.

Books/Magazines



As it has been every month since January my favourite magazine is KISS, and I'm reading The Mortal Instruments: City of Fallen Angels which is fantastic. Annoyingly I didn't got much time to read it because I had exams earlier this month, but now I have no excuse. I'm going to finish it before the new year!

Music

I hope you don't mind if I don't go through any of these songs, just have a listen to them and you might be able to understand why they're in my favourites.
















YouTubers

Zoe Sugg


Tanya Burr


I've been loving Zoella and Tanya Burr's Vlogmas videos. They are so lucky; they went to Dubai! Their videos are just so entertaining and they are both such lovely girls and have such awesome boyfriends (uh hello there Jim and Alfie...) I love them so much!

And that's all for today!

I'm glad I took a break from the #ChristmasBloggers for one day at least... don't take this the wrong way; I'm really enjoying it! I'm soooo excited for Christmas!!! Only 2 sleeps!

I hope you all have a lovely day and I'll talk to you tomorrow for my Christmas Eve rambles!

Byeeee

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
