Christmas Blog Posts – Gift ideas for him & her

xmassss

Christmas has always been my favorite holiday. Christmas means being home with your family and friends, giving & sharing love. I enjoy decorating the whole house, listening to Romanian carols but not only and going shopping in order to buy the greatest things for my guy and my family.

It’s 10:50 p.m and I’m home, while everyone is out, partying. The reason why I decided to stay in tonight is because I’m sick and some of you might have seen on twitter that I’m coughing like a donkey. Before going to a birthday party, Luci wanted to surprise me with McDonald’s 😀 Even though I hate its taste and I hate junk food, in general, today I was craving McDonald’s. Now I’m okay :))

The atmosphere in my bedroom is cozy. I have a desk lamp turned on and Christmas lights on the window 😀

Let’s go back to today’s subject!

Buying gifts for your loved ones might seem a little tricky. Once you take a deeper look, there are actually so many great gift options for them. Here are a few ideas:

I, personally, love decorating my home in order to have it the way I like it and to be cozy. Candles, pillows, blankets – all these are great gifts for someone like me. If you have a person that also enjoys decorating their home, here are a few ideas that might help you.

Pillows – a lot of them!

Woven blanket

Oh, are you guys excited to watch The Hobbit 3: The Battle of the Five Armies? Or have you already watched it? Because I know that in France, it has came out earlier than in Romania. I’m going to watch it today and I’m pretty curious about it. To be honest, I didn’t like the first one, the 2nd one was good and now I want to see if the 3rd one is better 😀

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Hello, my loves!♥

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

First of all, even though it’s just the eve, I want to wish you “Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!”. May all your wishes come true! 

On the other hand, our Christmas Trees are decorated, last night I baked some cookies and the atmosphere is full of joy. Here are two pictures of Luci’s Christmas Tree and of my Christmas Tree. I want to see your Christmas Trees, so feel free to send me pictures on twitter ♥ Today I’ll go caroling with my classmates, as we always do and I really can’t wait and tomorrow I’ll spend the whole day with my family, Luci and his family.

Last night I couldn’t sleep so I decided to bake some cookies for today. I was actually amazed that these cookies are really delicious, but cooking is, for sure, not my talent.

While writing this, I’m trying to decide what to wear today, and if you’re just like me, with no ideas right now, here are some:

Check my instagram today for more pictures and don’t forget to send me picture with your Christmas Trees.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, my loves!  ♥♥♥

Christmas Blog Posts: Christmas shopping, You Want It + December Giveaway!

Hello, beauties! ♥

Time is passing by and Christmas is almost here with all those magical moments spent with you family or with your friends, so take time to enjoy the little things in your life!  

Since there are only 4 days left, Me and Luci went shopping, in order to have a little gift for everyone. We spent like 5 hours in Promenada & Auchan. We bought lots of chocolate, two BIG pillows, a PC Headset, some clothes and other little things. I love going Christmas shopping while listening to carols. ♥ It was a really nice, but tiring, day. But it was worth it!

TIS THE SEASON TO GO SHOPPING – U WANT IT!

Christmas Blog Posts: Traditions

Hello, beauties!

Officially, there are 2 more weeks of school and 15 more days until Christmas Eve! I’ve already started to decorate, the only thing that’s missing is our Christmas Tree, but we’ll decorate it on 23rd or 24th, following the tradition of my family. What are your habits/traditionts when it comes to Christmas? 

On 24th I usually go caroling with my classmates. I’ve been doing this since hmm I was 12, as I remember. On 25th I’m going with my family to my grandparents’ house for a special Christmas Breakfast/Lunch, and there we all open our gifts. It’s such a pretty atmosphere when all your family is together, having a great time ❤ Last year, after I spent time with my family, I went to my boyfriend’s house (it was our 1st Christmas together!!) and this year, he’ll come to my grandparents’ house and after that I’ll go again to his house.

Lately I’ve been looking for some cute ideas for Christmas: outfits, nails and so on. I like simple things, and this goes for nails, as well. Here are some pictures of what I’ve found by now:

I’m waiting for snow, but it doesn’t seem to come soon, which makes everything look like spring. Or at least this is my feeling everytime I look through the window, but when I go out it’s so cold, brr! I can’t believe it’s already the last month of 2013.

In the next post I want to write a recipe for gingerbread or some Christmas cookies, but before I end this post, I want to ask you what are your wishes for this Christmas? What are you habits/traditions? 

Answer these questions on Twitter @andrada1327

Kisses, my loves!
