MY CHRISTMAS WISHLIST

I know I shouldn't moan about missing Christmas as I'm off galavanting around the world but I bloody love Christmas and I get so giddy anytime I see a hint of it here in Asia.
I legit nearly screamed 'SANTA’S COMING' when I was given a festive red cup at a coffee place yesterday. We've also watched 3 Christmas films while having the air con on full blast to make me feel at home LOL.
And mum if you're reading this you will 100% be bribed into making me a Christmas dinner when I'm home. A gal can't miss out in pigs in blankets can she?
Even though I was gifted money prior to Christmas there's nothing wrong with having a *small* Christmas wish list, a bucket list of things I want to get when I start earning again if you will.
*All links to products in titles where possible*
First up on the list.. Micro bladed eyebrows
Since I've been away I've never noticed how tragic my eyebrows are. I just want the simple life of waking up with good eyebrows, rather than looking like I had slits shaved in circa 2005 and they never grew back. Is that too much to ask?
I've found a few good people I've seen on Instagram but at around £250-300 I might just have to hold on until I'm moved in, have a full time job back and can actually afford to live in London. So probably 2025.
S’well bottle
So after attending a hot yoga class back at the end of summer I burnt my lip on my plastic gym shark bottle so needs must if I’m going to take up hot yoga 🤷🏼♀️
I absolutely love this bottle from S’well . At £42 this bottle and brush set it’s quite spenny but I would use it everyday - promise!
Clinique skincare & cleansing brush
I thought the sun would help my skin but I think actually need to invest in some decent skincare. We had the smallest sink in our old flat so wishing/hoping that our new bathroom may be more suitable for a skincare regime. I’ve been using Joshes sonic system cleansing brush and feel it does help so want one of my own.
At £79.00 let’s hope it works miracles.
I’d also need the £20.00 face wash, toner & moisturiser starter kit , obv.
Kevin Murphy shampoo & conditioner
I absolutely love Kevin Murphy products. I always feel like such a prin when I go get my hair done at Love Hair and they use these products 👸🏼 Santa I’d like the hydrate- me wash (£20.00) & rinse (£21.00) pls.
£95.00 - because a bag for life just won’t do to carry my gym clothes okay?
ASOS winter wardrobe
I went on to ASOS to add a 'few bits' to the list and now have about £3000 worth of stuff in my saved items. Including a whole winter wardrobe for the job I don’t have yet. So I'll just add a few of the 'neccesities' I will need to get me through winter.
I bought my white ultra boost trainers with me they are the comfiest shoes EVER but safe to say they are not white anymore. Climbing up volcanos, hiking through jungles and ziplinig through a forest they’ve done me well so thinking I’ll get this cute pink pair for a change. At £149.95 I feel like I may be having to cut back on my SF vanilla almond milk lattes from Starbucks.
I'm itching to get back into a gym routine and know a new pair of lulu's will do just the trick to keep me motivated. They are £88.00 but you really do get what you pay for with gym leggings - no one wants to see butt cheeks at the gym. This pair below are in ‘Sequoia Camo Print Deep Coal Black’.
I unfortunately got really ill on our holiday to Turkey earlier this year and as I didn’t check the room because I was dying (can you tell I’m still bitter my boyfriend didn’t check?) I left my GHD’s straightener, headphones and necklace in a draw. Tragic. But I really miss the headphones as I absolutely love working out in them, they don’t fall off and they block out all the noise/grunting in the gym. They are £59.00 on Amazon so they aren’t that expensive - such good value!
I’d like to see whether investing in proper powders rather than just myprotein’s cheapest option will make a difference with my stomach. I love getting stuff like this as a present as I feel I appreciate it more!
First thing is the Lean protein powder (obv in chocolate) fo £27.00.
Açai powder for £19.00. I already have my coconut bowls ready for smoothie bowls 🥥🤗
Ultra cleanse for £17.00 for green smoothies 🥦
And some reusable straws for £6.90. After watching a recent Netflix documentary (where most people change their lifestyle choices nowadays 🤷🏼♀️) I want to cut down on my plastic usage and I love to drink my smoothies through a straw!
So there we have it, a list of things I want but won’t get (woes me🎻). Please don’t judge me for spending the time to write this while travelling. Currently 1 leg down and in the middle of nowhere waiting for our Balinese visa to be extended.
Who feels sorry for me and my eyebrows? 🤨
