Christmas preparations & knitted mini jumper dress

How is your Christmas preparation going? Although our family starts decorating for Christmas on the 1st Advent or on December 1st then this year we started much earlier. A week ago we put up our Christmas lights. I'm pretty happy with the result but we going to add some decorations in a few days. It seems that some kind of competition has begun between neighbors - everyone adds something extra to his house so I can't wait for Christmas time when everyone have finished decorating their houses. My family loves gingerbreads and so on Friday, we made this year's first batch of gingerbread cookies. They were super delicious! This time we used store-bought gingerbread dough but I am thinking of making my own dough. When I was about 15-16 then I actually made the dough myself and the final result was always perfect. Unfortunately, I have misplaced the recipe I used back then so I now have to go through all my cookbooks to find that gingerbread dough recipe. When it comes to th...

Christmas Gift Idea: Elisheva & Shoshana natural beauty products

Image
It's November and since Christmas time is coming fast then I have already started shopping for Christmas presents. A few weeks ago I ordered gifts for my 7-year-old. Luckily it was easy with his gift this year because he knew what he wanted already in October and so I had time to find a good deal and order the LEGO set he wanted. Of course in the perfect world, he would LOVE to receive a LEGO Star Wars Death Star but unfortunately, I'm not a millionaire and so I can't really justify a Christmas gift that costs around €450-€500. When it comes to Christmas gifts for me - then here comes one hint for the Santa - if you don't know what to bring me then I would be very happy if you brought me some Elisheva & Shoshana natural products for Christmas. Käes on november ja seega jõulud lähenevad kohutava kiirusega. Paar päeva tagasi avastasin, et naabrid on hakanud juba majale jõulutulesid panema ning noh kui aus olla, siis eks olen vaikselt juba ka jõulukinkide ostmise...

Let the party season begin with Femme Luxe

Image
When it comes to all those Christmas related posts then last week I shared with you a post about starting your Christmas planning early . And I think that planning the outfits for Christmas and NYE celebrations (and for any other party) is important. I always prefer being prepared and that's why I start planning my outfits as soon as I get the invitation. I really hate when I discover at the last minute that my outfit doesn't work and so I will have to just quickly throw together another look. It's November and so it's time to start preparing for all those Christmas and New Year's Eve parties. Femme Luxe offers a nice selection of party dresses, glitter dresses , and tops . Today I want to show you three Femme Luxe dresses that would be perfect for New Year's Eve or Christmas party or for any other party where you want to shine and stand out. So, let's start with a black modest bodycon dress. This black ribbed V neck midi dress - Regina is a nice addition...

Don't Wait! Start Your Christmas Planning Early

Image
Christmas is around the corner, and it's never too early to start planning. The months before Christmas can be busy, and it's easy to get overwhelmed by everything that needs to be done. However, planning early can help you be organized and will reduce any last-minute stress. With that in mind, here are five things you can do in advance to make sure your Christmas is stress-free and enjoyable: 1. Make a List Santa makes a list and you should, too. Write down the names of those you plan to buy gifts and to whom you'll send Christmas cards. Additionally, decide whether you'll be hosting any events and if you will be inviting family to stay with you. Once you have a clear picture of your festive obligations, it will make staying organized much easier. In fact, creating a  to-do list  is a handy tool for Christmas gift planning and as an event checklist. 2. Print Christmas Photo Cards Your Christmas cards should be organized early, especially if you are looking fo...

#shoppingmycloset OOTD: Red Shoes & Black and Grey outfit and LINK UP #172

Image
This weekend we went to the movies again. This time my son, had to choose between two movies: Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarfs and Abominable. After watching the trailers of both movies he, to my great surprise, chose Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarfs. Well, it was an interesting version of Snow White and I actually enjoyed the movie and so did my 7-year old.  Onto my outfit. My today's outfit belongs to the shopping my closet category because everything I wore is from my closet. Some of these items I have shown you several times already and some only once or twice. For this simple casual outfit, I paired grey ONLY skinny jeans with black BB Dakota lace top. I added a knitted cardigan (seen here with white top and blue jeans) and here paired with blue jeans and blue t-shirt) and a pair of red Ecco shoes. At first, I planned to wear a pair of boots with this look but because of the movie, we went to see I just felt like wearing a pair of red shoes would be a great idea. Although,...

Essence Cosmetics What The Fake Volumizing & Lengthening Mascara

Image
A few weeks ago I shared with you my first impressions of some new beauty products from Essence Cosmetics Fall 2019 collection . In that post, I mentioned that I'm not sure what I think about Essence Cosmetics What The Fake Volumizing & Lengthening Mascara. Well, now, after using this mascara over a month, I'm pretty sure I have finally made up my mind about it. Mõned nädalad tagasi jagasin teiega enda esmamuljeid Essence Cosmetics sügiskollektsiooni toodetest. Tolles postituses mainisin ma, et ma ei ole päris kindel, mida arvata Essence What The Fake pikendavast ja tihendavast ripsmetušist toonis 01 black. Nüüdseks olen seda ripsmekat kasutanud üle kuu ja seega olen lõpuks suutnud ära otsustada, mida ma sellest arvan. Essence Cosmetics What The Fake Volumizing & Lengthening Mascara is the successor to Essence I Need a Miracle! Volumizing & Strengthening mascara. What The Fake mascara is promised to give your lashes breathtaking length and volume thanks to th...

Simple Fall Outfit & LINKUP #171

Image
It's Monday and that means that it's time for the outfit related post and weekly linkup. Today I'm going to share with you my outfit from Saturday when we went to the movies with my older son. Although at first, my son wanted to see Playmobil: The movie then after seeing the trailer of Boonie Bears: Entangled Worlds we ended up seeing that one instead. Well, it's really weird how with some movie or animation trailers you pretty much get the idea of what the movie is about. But with this one, I wasn't really sure what to expect. Okay, adventure but what else? And even in the middle of the movie, I wasn't sure what is the whole point of this. But in the end, I actually liked it. And although it's for kids then I think there is also something for the parents to think about. Now onto my outfit. Although, I'm not the one who would really take or share a bathroom selfie, then here it comes because I didn't have the time for taking proper outfit shots. ...
