The post Shoppers are already preparing for Christmas next year as B&M slashes items to cost mere pennies | The Sun appeared first on sivasistasyon.
]]>The British variety store famed for its cheap prices has slashed the price of yuletide decorations to pennies.
Among the bargains are faux trees slashed by nearly £100, baubles for 8p a pop and tall nutcracker ornaments at 50% off.
Shoppers have flooded into Facebook group Extreme Couponing & Bargains UK to boast about their festive finds.
Mirella Slipek picked up a 91cm silver and white Christmas Nutcracker for just £17.50, down from £35.
Similarly, Valerie Mcqueen picked up Light-up Angels for half-price at £2.50 in the retailer’s South Shields store.
She said there were “loads left”, adding that “quite a few Christmas ornaments are scanning half-price at tills”.
One anonymous shopper picked up a six pack of baubles for 50p, making them just over 8p each.
Clair Waterhouse nabbed a pre-lit Christmas tree for £40 – and it would’ve cost £110 if she bought it one week earlier.
“I've had my eye on this Christmas tree for a bit but couldn't justify the £110 price tag,” she penned.

“However, I went in today and found it's now £40.
“There were two other designs reduced as well.
“When it was scanned it still went through at £110. I had to point out the new £40 price and he had to manually reduce it.”
Other shoppers agree that now is the “best time to buy” your Christmas decorations.
“I got a tree from B&M two years ago in January for £10,” one said.
“It was meant to be £150. Bargain.”
“I got a tree in the sale from B&M three years ago for £50,” another penned.
“I absolutely love it. It's 7ft, pre-lit with frosted glitter tips. It's such a full tree.”

]]>The post I'm 91 but everyone thinks I'm 20 years younger, my anti-aging secret is free, it's the reason men don't wrinkle as much | The Sun appeared first on sivasistasyon.
]]>She said her skincare technique is not only free, but it's also the reason men don't wrinkle as much.
Media professional Noora De Silva (@nooradesilva3) interviewed Mary, 91, in a video on TikTok.
"Two tips to look 20 years younger," read the text.
"Usually when I meet people, if I don't tell them my age or talk about ages, they think I'm about 70. I am 91," Mary said.
She implemented a regular routine to keep her skin taut after learning about men's aging.
"I read years ago that men don't wrinkle like women do," she said.
First, she pursed her lips and moved them left and right as a facial exercise.
Next, she tackled under the chin — a problem area for many seeking a more youthful look.
"You would push down with your chin and push up with your hands real hard and do that a few times," she added, demonstrating the technique for the camera.

She revealed that the routine is not only free, but it doesn't require too much time.
"I don't do them every day, but probably every so often if I thought of them," Mary added.
Facial massages like the one Mary demonstrated are age-old techniques to keep wrinkles at bay.
There are several approaches, including various shapes of Gua Sha tools as well as just bare hands.
The massage works as an anti-aging method because it smooths out wrinkles over time due to lymphatic drainage.
Moving the lymphatic fluid through the body manually can yield many health benefits, including preventing illness.
The lymphatic massage can also make the skin look firmer and thus more youthful.

]]>The post I made Christmas crackers with something everyone has lying around – they're free and look incredible | The Sun appeared first on sivasistasyon.
]]>The 44-year-old is in the running for the prestigious Scotland’s Christmas Home of the Year title.
She features alongside four other shortlisted home-owners in the festive special of the BBC programme, judged by telly stars Anna Campbell-Jones, Banjo Beale and new addition architect Danny Campbell.
And one of the top tips Laura has when it comes to decking out her home in style is creating your own crackers with an item many people will have lying around in their garage or lift.
Recruitment firm boss Laura, from East Renfrewshire, said: “I made my christmas crackers myself.
“I only just decorated before Christmas last year so I had excess wallpaper and that meant there was a colour theme, with the navy, gold and sparkle, and the stag motif, running throughout. That means it all ties in to perfection.”
Laura used her leftover wallpaper to make the exterior of the crackers, meaning it matches perfectly in her freshly decorated home.
Commenting on how smart it looked, Judge Anna loved all the details in the dining room,
She said: “The table setting is absolutely amazing. It’s not the kind of place you’d spend Christmas day in your jammies.”
And it’s not the only personal touch in her home.

‘TURBULENT TIMES’
‘MY PAIN’
The Christmas daft mum-of-one makes sure every room in her home sparkles once December hits.
Laura, married to Andrew, 45, and mum to Lexie, six, said: “I absolutely love Christmas, I am looking for ideas and inspiration all year round, it doesn’t really stop.
“I love bling and the energy – we don’t have a quiet household at all. I love being the congregation point and welcoming people into our home.
“We work so hard all year round and when it comes to Christmas, as much as it’s a time for downtime, it’s also a time to see people you can’t see throughout the year because they work so hard all the time.
“On these dark cold and miserable nights, I love nothing more than getting home and putting my lights on and having a little bit of bling in my life. You just feel so much better.”
Laura’s home is up against a cosy cottage, a home with more than 30 trees and a former court house transformed into a traditionally trimmed apartment.
She’s waiting with bated breath to see who takes the top prize when the show airs on Monday at 8pm on BBC Scotland.

]]>The post I’m 54 and my skin is a ‘flex’ – here’s my number one anti-ageing tip, that 99% of people will tell you not to do | The Sun appeared first on sivasistasyon.
]]>Cristina, who is 54 but looks decades younger, shared the hack via a video posted on her TikTok account where she boasts nearly 300,000 followers.
In the video, Cristina said: "Let me tell you what I do in my skincare routine, that 99% of 'skin-tok' will tell you not to do."
She continued: "At 54 years old, my skin is a flex".
Cristina said that until seven months ago, here skin was "not a flex" until she made a simple change to her skincare routine.
The beauty pro said that her number one tip is exfoliating every single day, sometimes in the morning and sometimes at night.
She said: "If tretinoin is your King, exfoliation is your Queen."
Cristina said the changes in her skin since she started exfoliating every day are drastic.
She said: "Think about your skin as a garden of geraniums and the geraniums bloom and then you have to deadhead them.
"The exfoliation is the deadheading process and it allows for healthier, bigger blooms".

Cristina then explained the different methods of exfoliation she uses.
She said she sometimes exfoliates using a toner after she cleanses, sometimes uses it as part of her face wash, sometimes exfoliates using peel pads or an overnight peel and sometimes uses "good old fashioned gloves".
The beauty whizz explained that you have to work up to exfoliating every day and recommended starting off by doing it twice a week.
She said: "Never get to the point where you're overdrying your skin. Make sure that you're doing it one step at a time and adding in one extra exfoliation per week."
TikTok users rushed to the video's comments section to share their thoughts on Cristina's hack.
One user said: "I do this and it's amazing".
Another added: "Exfoliation is key for anyone under 40".
A third added: "I exfoliate every day without fail".

]]>The post I did a size-10 Oh Polly haul – apparently I hate wearing bras, luckily I don't need one with anything I bought | The Sun appeared first on sivasistasyon.
]]>Her size-10 Oh Polly shopping spree demonstrated to her that she hates wearing bras.
Fortunately for her, she didn't need one with anything she bought and she was very happy with that.
Turning 35, Lorena Flores (@_floreslorena), a Los Angeles entrepreneur, was planning a celebration party.
But first, she had to decide on an outfit from her haul, and it featured some winners and losers.
“Help me pick out my birthday party dress," she said in her post.
"I’m having a birthday party this weekend and it's an all-white party. [But] I have white dresses, and I have one black jumpsuit and a red dress."
“Everything is from Oh Polly," she said as she proceeded to try on her haul.
First out of her shopping bags was the Violetta Mini Dress in in red, with a tie-up at the back.
She was excited to try it on: “Thought it’d be cute. Maybe do like a pop of red. It has this little cupcake flare, I like that."
TRAGIC ENDING
SHOW’S OVER
PIERS HITS BACK
‘FATHER OF SHOW’
There was something else about this item that would set the tone for the rest of her haul.
" I don’t have to wear a bra with this," she figured.
This was a dress she was also looking forward to trying on.
It was also a hit with her followers: "This is the dress I was really excited about."
There were some initial reservations, but it had one knockout feature.
"It looks boring from the front, but the party is in the back," she said, turning around for the viewer to catch the full impact of this dress.
She was beginning to fall in love with it: “I like the way it looks with heels."
And there would be no bra with this one either: "With a bit of boob tape and my hair down it might work."
Next, it was the turn of another white dress, but it wasn't happening for her.
”This is really similar to the long sleeve one but it’s really big.
"Looks like we’re going to Sunday mass. Pass on this one," she said.
Like her white, bodycon dress, this black bodysuit made an impression and she felt amazing in it.
“I don’t think I’m wearing this for my birthday, but this is so freaking cute.
"It is so comfortable. With heels, it’s the perfect length. Very Jessica rabbit, I love it."
At the end of her haul, one thing was very clear: “Apparently I hate wearing bras.”
Commenters were clear which was their favorite.
“The white long-sleeved one for sure. It looks incredible," said this person.
“White is great, on it's the one. The red needs some accessories" figured another.
This fan had eyes for only one item: “The white dress with the long sleeves. You are killing it."
But the red might work, was the opinion of this viewer: “I say red so you can stand out since it’s an all-white party.”

]]>The post I’ve got a genius hack for drying your clothes quickly in winter without using a tumble dryer | The Sun appeared first on sivasistasyon.
]]>A woman has shared her genius hack for drying clothes in the winter, and it costs just pennies.
Anna Searight shared the tip via a video posted on her TikTok account, where she is known as @annasearightmusic.
In the video, Anna can be seen drying her clothes on a drying rack.
However, instead of just leaving them alone to dry, Anna helps them along their way by placing a standing fan next to the clothes dryer.
She also keeps her window open slightly to allow the breeze from outside to air out the clothes and blow them dry.
In the video, Anna said: "I hate these cost of living hacks because I feel like the government should be doing more.- but I've found one.
"Fan, clothes, window open – boom".
Fans are super cheap to run and cost about 1p in electricity per hour.
This is much cheaper than tumble dryers, which are by far the most expensive appliance to use and cost about £1.40 per load.
OH WOW
POWER OF LOVE
OH BROTHER
SILVER VIXEN
Therefore, this genius hack will dry your clothes quickly, without breaking the bank.
The only issue with Anna's hack is that it may get quite cold in the room you are drying your clothes in if you're using a fan – so it's probably not the best hack to use when it's freezing outside.
TikTok users rushed to the comments section of Anna's video to share their thoughts on her hack.
One user said: "Cool, it's just like an airfryer for clothes".
Another user added: "I've started to use a drying rack and then use the tumble dryer to finish."
