Welcome to the first day of Blogmas! You may notice the increase in daily vlogs from all the YouTuber’s during the holiday season (that’s Vlogmas folks!) but seeing as I don’t vlog I decided to play along with ‘Blogmas’ this year! That’s 25 days straight of blogging with a new winter/Christmas themed blog for your everyday from now until Christmas day!

Get ready for lots of gift guides, holiday looks, and hopefully some great snowy pictures! So, to start, let’s take a look at the 2015 Advent Calendar preview. Looking for a fun way to count down the days till Christmas? These are my favourite Advent Calendars of 2015.

For the beauty lovers there are a few great calendars. Take a look at Benefit’s 12 day calendar of beauty mini’s including the fan favourites They’re Real mascara, High Beam Luminizer, and Lollitint lip and cheek stain.  Next, the Face Shop has a great 24 day calendar of Korean beauty favourites. The Body Shop hits a home run again this year with their 24 Happy Days of mini samples of fan favourites. Or try out the Lush for 12 days of bath-time bliss! And for the luxurious big spenders, check out the first Advent calendar from Charlotte Tilbury, 12 cabinets full of travel minis and full sized makeup and skin care!

Coffee or tea lover? Check out the David’s Tea 24 Days of Tea with a new tea or infusion every day! YUM! Or you can go with the Starbucks calendar. 24 days of sweet chocolate or peppermint treats and even one hidden gift card!

Fashionistas can check out the Topshop Freedom calendar with 24 days of jewellery pieces. Theres even lots out there for kids with Barbie or Lego calendars! Or, if you want to make your own, check out Canadian Tire’s two different reusable empty advent calendars for 2015. Then fill the boxes with your own little gifts! Great for kids or those friends and family that you’d like to mix and match brands and gifts for!
