*Affiliate links Hi, lovelies! Unfortunately, I don't have a outfit to show you today, but just a chit-chat post. At the bottom of the post you can still link up all your fabulous outfit and style post! Christmas time has begun! The snow is falling and from yesterday, it doesn't feel weird anymore that we have our lights up since the end of October. I hope the snow won't melt but it probably will and that's a bit sad because I prefer snow over mud and puddles. This past weekend I planned to put up and decorate our Christmas tree. Well, that didn't go as planned. On Saturday, we started decorating our tree. I always start with a string of lights and then add the rest of the tree decorations. Unfortunately, one of the three sets of lights that I use on our tree was faulty, which meant I couldn't use it. Luckily there's a store in our little borough that also sells Christmas lights among other things. It's also opened on Sunday, and so I thought that I w...

A good diet and an intensive workout routine are the two most important factors to consider if you want to build muscles. Unfortunately, many people tend to focus only on the hours they spend in the gym. They forget that during the other hours of the day, the body needs to support itself with the right nutrition when they are not working out. Only then will the mass-gaining equation be complete. If you are serious about building your muscles and improving your look, here are some serious tips that will help you on your journey. Photo by Scott Webb from Pexels 1. Avoid Using Every Gym Equipment If it is your first time in a gym, it is easy to fall into the temptation of using all the fancy and shiny gym equipment in the gym. Instead of trying every new piece of equipment you find, you should consider sticking to the basics and using free weights. If you want to build muscles, barbells and dumbbells are your best companions. Not only are they useful in building s...

We all have our individual preferences when it boils down to getting a diamond cut; this is the jewel design’s fundamental aspect. Every diamond shape is unique, and no one is superior to the other. However, some cuts provide more brilliance than the other, which round-cut diamonds take the lead. Rings of this shape sit at the helm of engagements. But that’s not all; there are additional unique cuts to choose from, including Asscher, emerald, and princess. You can get any of these for your spouse, depending on her taste. [caption id="attachment_25503" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Photo by Danielle De Angelis from Pexels[/caption] Assessing a Diamond’s Quality Before Making Payments Before purchasing a diamond for someone, it is essential to find the diamond cut that matches that person’s preference. However, other aspects like the price and its correlation with its quality fall within the buyer’s jurisdiction. Each gemstone has its carat weight as w...

If you have been watching the news recently, you'll know there's a lot of buzz about vaccines entering into the final stages of testing. Many of which are shown as high as 90% effective. Now, where you agree with vaccines or not is the issue we're going to be looking at. The bottom line is, now that there is some kind of hope out of this tunnel, many people will take it and that means a return to normalcy is around the corner. Or is it? Let's be honest, governments have printed a lot of money , there's a lot of debt, a high unemployment rate and that doesn't sound like a return to a normal world, does it? So, every family must prepare for this strange new post-Covid-19 world. Prepare for higher taxes Central banks have been pumping liquid into the markets, trying to prop up stocks, bonds, and businesses. But all this is going to come at a price. We won't feel it for a few months, but eventually, the governments around the world will do some belt-tighteni...

Last week I showed you an all black outfit and seems that this week I have another black on black look to show you. My outfit was sort of inspired by the snow we had last week. There wasn't much of it but enough for a building a small snowman and spending an extra time for scraping ice off of our car's windshield. This time I wore a black EDC by Esprit jumper dress ( seen here with purple scarf ) and a pair of wet look leggings that I showed you a few weeks ago paired with a beige shirt dress . I added a pair of black knee-high boots (seen here with color-block dress ). These boots are just a perfect example of the different shades of black. I mean these boots are black, however, when compared to the shade of black of my jumper dress and leggings, they look more like dark grey. I accessorized my all black outfit with a thin black belt, semiprecious gemstone bracelet and a necklace. What I wore black EDC by Esprit jumper dress black FemmeLuxe black wet look leg...

*PR Sample Back in July, our 2-year old finally moved out of our bedroom and started sleeping in his bedroom. That meant that we now had much more room in our bedroom, and we could now start our bedroom makeover. In a way, that makeover isn't difficult, because when we bought our house last year, then we said to the seller that we wanted simple plain white walls. That means that just a carpet and artwork on a wall can make a huge difference. Over the weekend, we started our bedroom makeover. And we started it with wallpaper. Back in February, I had an opportunity to work with Photowall. Back then, I added a touch of color to my simple minimalistic living-room with Photowall canvas print . But back in February, I also noticed Photowall's huge selection of wallpapers and wall murals and, I knew that once it's time to redecorate our bedroom or our boys' rooms, then I'll probably order my wallpaper from there. Choosing the Wallpaper I guess the most complicated par...

Hi, lovelies! A few weeks ago, I participated in the #7dayskirtchallenge , where I wore one skirt and styled it differently for each day. Well, my today's outfit would suit well to that challenge because I wore again the black pencil skirt I wore for the challenge. This time, I paired my black Splendid Fold Over Pencil Skirt with a black high neck jumper that I purchased from Stockmann about 10 years ago. I have only worn it a few times so far, but the weather lately has been around only 1 or 2°C and so it seemed like a good idea. I added a pair of black high heeled boots, a black Mosaic wool coat, a gold watch, and a black & beige grab bag.

The thing that you want most as a parent is to ensure that your children are safe and healthy. To do this, there are certain things that you have to do. It’s not the case that this is just going to happen, you must actively do things and put rules in place to make it so. If you don’t know exactly what we’re talking about, then it’s a good thing you’ve come across this article because that’s what we’re going to be looking at down below. Keep reading if you would like to find out more. Watch What They Eat The first thing that we’re going to look at is what your child is eating. You need to ensure that you are watching what they eat as much as possible. As they get older this is going to get more difficult as they will begin eating out of the house and you won’t get to control this as much. However, when they are at home and eating meals with you as a family, you do have the ability to control what they are consuming. Try to ensure that they are getting a good mixture of ever...

Parents know that there’s rarely any downtime and that it’s not unusual to feel rushed off your feet! When you lead such a busy lifestyle, it’s more important than ever to take care of your health and establish a workable self-care routine. The best thing to do is to set yourself a few simple self-care goals. For some great inspiration, check out these. 1. Start Practicing Yoga We all know that exercise is such an important part of any self-care regime . It’s the best way to improve your mental and physical health. If you’re looking to add variety to your workout, yoga is an amazing choice. Yoga isn’t just about improving your physical health; it’s about calming your mind, learning breathing techniques, and practicing mindfulness. The best thing about yoga is that you don’t need lots of time to practice. Apps like Glo and Daily Yoga offer short ten-minute video sessions, so you can still practice on your super busy days.

It's funny how I sometimes make great plans for the weekend, and then none of the things I planned to do will get done. For example, I planned to put up wallpaper from Photowall this weekend. But then we ended up doing hundred other things and just didn't have time for that, but at least my hubby and my 8-year old went to a cinema and to the pool, and I sorted through half of my closet and I went biking twice. So, I will have to get the wallpaper up over the next weekend because our bedroom is rather bland and badly needs something new. I think a feature wall with a beach-themed wallpaper would be a lovely and relaxing addition to our bedroom. After showing you skirts last week, I decided to go with a pair of skinny jeans this week. I haven't worn these ripped skinny jeans for months now and so I thought why not pair it with a black lace-up bodysuit. Since it is autumn here where I live, then I also added a cardigan and a pair of leather booties. I accessorized my outfit ...

*PR Sample I haven't reviewed any Avon skin care products for a while now and so let's correct that mistake now. A few weeks ago, I received a parcel from Avon with some exciting skincare products. Today I want to share with you my thoughts on Avon Anew Skin Reset Plumping Shots. Ma ei ole enam tükk aega ühtegi Avon näohooldustoodet arvustanud. Tänases postituses aga parandan selle vea, sest mõned nädalad tagasi saabus mulle pakike uute ja huvitavate Avon nahahooldustoodetega.

As promised in my yesterday's outfit post - here come my seven outfits for the #7dayskirtchallenge. This challenge was created by Gail from isthismutton.com . For this challenge, we could either choose one skirt and style it differently or wear a different skirt every day. I decided to choose one skirt and style it differently for each day. I chose a Splendid Fold Over Pencil Skirt. I purchased this skirt four years ago. You have seen it on my blog before paired with a cold shoulder top ; with a simple white top and with a striped top . And to think about it, the  rest of the time, this skirt has just been sitting in my wardrobe waiting for its time. It is a very good skirt because it is made of stretchy jersey and so it's super comfy! If you follow me on Instagram , then you have probably already seen all these looks, but I'll share more details of each outfit in this post. Day 1 of the 7 Day Skirt Challenge So for my first outfit, I paired my simple black pencil skirt...

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Although on Saturday was Halloween, then we started putting up our Christmas lights. It seems super early and we have never started decorating that early, but I think the days that are getting shorter and shorter, the rainy and foggy weather, and the COVID-19 situation is just so depressing that a little extra light is just good for all of us :) Oh, and we actually weren't the first ones who started the decorating - on our street we were the third ones ;) On to my outfit. Skirts. Well, if you are following me on Instagram then you know that I'm taking part in the #7DaySkirtChallenge. That means I'm sharing seven outfits with skirts. I will share all my outfit here on my blog tomorrow, so stay tuned ;) For this outfit post, I decided to wear a denim skirt paired with a white top with lace details. I purchased this lace detail top a few years ago from Shopbop. I accessorized my simple casual outfit with a pair of bla...
