Five Ways To Have Fun This Christmas

Image
Christmas is fast approaching and with an endless to-do list, gifts to buy and wrap, and family to visit, it can certainly be a very stressful and overwhelming time. The problem with Christmas is that you can focus on everything you have to do, and forget that you should be having some fun and enjoying the magic as well. So here are five ways to have fun this Christmas.  Image by congerdesign from Pixabay Visit a Christmas market  There is nothing more festive than a Christmas market. It might be in your local town or village or in the city, but they are always full of Christmas cheer. There will be stalls for gifts, plenty of food to enjoy, and don’t forget those festive drinks. A Christmas market is a lot of fun, and whether you enjoy visiting as a couple, or embrace it as a family day out, it is one of the best ways to have some fun at Christmas. Why not look online and see where your local market is? There may also be special events that you can enjoy.  S...

My Christmas Eve makeup with Essence Cosmetics

Image
*PR Sample Since this year we, as probably most people, celebrated Christmas at home, then, I decided to go with a simple makeup look. For my makeup, I used some new makeup goodies from Essence Cosmetics. Thank you, Essence! Kuna sel aastal tähistasime me jõule kodus oma pereringis nagu vist enamik inimesi, siis selle aastane jõuluõhtu meik oli mul samuti lihtne. Enda meigi tegemisel kasutasin uusi meigitooteid Essence Cosmetics'lt. Aitäh Essence! I started my makeup look with Essence HELLO! GOOD STUFF face serum and then followed with Essence HELLO, GOOD STUFF! Tinted Beauty Cream in a shade 10 Light. Next, I applied Essence Camouflage+ Matt Concealer in a shade 20 Light Ivory where needed. After that, I applied Essence Pretty Natural Hydrating Foundation in a shade 040 Neutral Vanilla. I set my makeup with Essence All About Matte Fixing Compact Powder. For filling in and shaping my eyebrows I used Essence Brow Pomade + Brush in a shade 02 Ash Blonde. ...

Teal and black outfit & Christmas chit-chat & linkup #202

Image
*Affiliate links Happy Monday, lovelies! How have you been? Last week we decorated our Christmas tree, and my Christmas shopping is almost done. I still need a gift for my 2-year old. We will probably get some sort of construction truck for him because he loves those. For my 8-year old we already purchased a Baby Yoda plush toy and Baby Yoda mug . He absolutely loves Baby Yoda! With my husband it's easy - he reads a lot and his wishlist of books is long ... very long. And so I just usually pick something from there. I usually buy a gift for myself too and I am thinking about buying a new iPhone 11 for myself. I have been using my current smartphone - iPhone 6 for six years now and although it works perfectly fine I just feel that it's time to upgrade. The outfit Something simple and casual. For my today's look, I paired a pair of black ponte pants with a simple light jumper. I purchased the black Vince ponte pants a few years ago from Shopbop . I love these trouse...

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...

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...
