2015 "I will try my best to"s

I don't believe in the old fashioned New Years Resolutions, but I believe in writing things you would like to do. No "In 2015 I WILL exercise more", more like "In 2015 I would like to try to exercise more" or "In 2015 I will try my best to keep up with school work". I'm a person who will hate myself and bring myself down if I fully set my mind on something and fail to do it perfectly. Like run every single day or stay away from sweets. But if I say to myself "I will try to run every day, but if I don't, it's okay", I keep myself motivated and won't beat myself up over it if I don't do it!

To inspire you (if you even want to do this), here's my list:




I will write these things out and keep somewhere I'll see it often to motivate me to try my best at the things I want and to plan things like getting my hair cut or get my ears pierced. I hope this could help some of you to make 2015 a bit better!

Please have a safe New Years Eve people! And maybe 2015 be a fan-fucking-tastic day!

❄ Happy Holidays ❄




Lui and I wanted to wish you all happy holidays! It's Little Christmas Eve which means my brother and I are going to our grandmother's house to decorate the Christmas tree, I'm super excited. I've spend the morning watching advent calenders while faffing around my room. I haven't had the strong Christmas feeling this year, but I am happy and excited and that is all that matters!

If the holidays is a sad time for you, I will send you the biggest and warmest hugs and kisses. Whatever makes this time sad for you, I'm sorry and I hope you will still have a nice time, it'll soon be over.

♡ Happy Holidays! ♡

Last minute gift guide 2014


Books:I'm pretty sure we all know a book worm who's at-home-library cannot get big enough, so why not add to their obsession? It can be anything from a classical novel to a Zombie Apocalypse Survival Guide to a cheesy romance book.

Sweets and snacks: 
Food is the way to anyone's heart, so a quick and easy present is to throw together a food basket/box. Gather all their favourite treats, anything from coffee or tea to crisps and chocolate. Throw in a nice jolly card and call it a day! Also - making the treats yourself can also be an idea. Get in the kitchen and create!

Personal things:
There's nothing like a home made and personal present. I'm a firm believer in making special people for the special people in my life. It can be a painting, a pillow, some ceramics, a wooden bird house, a notebook with funny stories about you two, a photo book! Anything that will make the person melt with happiness.

Film or series:
A good present could also be something they can spend the post-Christmas-days on watching in their comfy clothes. I personally know the feeling of loving a series but I'm always like "Nah, shouldn't buy it right now", but I keep wanting it, so Christmas is a perfect time to get that special series for someone! For extra happiness points, add in some home made treats or a new PJ set (maybe even one that matches yours if you're going to watch it together)

Games:
It doesn't have to be a video game, it can also be a fun board game. My boyfriend loves his PS3 (probably soon PS4) and when I have no idea what to get him, I'll most likely get him a game for his PlayStation. But in my family we love playing board games together, especially my grandmother. Again, could be a fun thing to do together on the post-Christmas-days while you nom on the last bit of treats and Christmas dinner!

Home ware:
Give me some Yankee Candles or some nice vases and I'm in heaven. And I KNOW I'm not the only one who feels like that! Candles, glasses, book ends, table cloths, pillows, new sheets, trinket boxes, tea light holders, trays, YOU NAME IT! Pop into your local home decor shop and I'm sure there's things you'll see and think "xxx will LOVE this!"


I hope you enjoyed my little gift guide. I know it's late, but I completely forgot about it. I wish you a merry Christmas and a safe and wonderful New Year.

It's the most wonderful time of the year









Christmas is my favourite time a year. I love decorating for it, I love buying Christmas presents, I love all the Christmas things in the shops. I love drinking peppermint hot chocolate, I love cute wrapping paper, I love it all!

Sean came to visit from the 29/11 till the 7/12, which was the first time, in our almost 5 years, that we were actually together in the winter months! We did most of the obligatory Christmas things, like went to Christmas markets, decorated, watched Christmas lights all over the place. I loved it. I love sharing this time with someone I have so dear.

I hope Christmas is a time with love for you too.
