Was I NAUGHTY or NICE this year?

Disclaimer: I am not bragging with the presents I got. If you cannot handle me showing off some bits, just click out, it's not that hard, there's an "x" on the tab. I like to look back on what I got, so it's mostly for myself to be honest. And I got some pretty sweet things if I say so myself.

This beautiful initials necklace from my brother. (M for Malle and S for Sean/Seanie)

Two gorgeous crystal necklaces and the best book I've ever come across from Seanie! <3

My grandmother has this tradition with giving me something with an angel on every year for Christmas. This year wasn't any exception! It says "Our little angel. You've been a miracle since you were born. This angel will guide you with love through life. We love you!"

My fantastic mother gave me my favourite perfume! She gave me one 2 years ago which I've barely used half of because it's so expensive and I've been scared to use it, but I think I can allow myself to use it a bit more now!

Menu jewellery tree from my mum's best friend. I was so shocked to receive this, it's so beautiful and I think I screamed a tiny bit. You shouldn't have you lovely bum burp!

A beautiful lamb fur from my cousins, aunt and uncle. It's so freaking soft, I sat and hugged it for like 10 minutes when I got it. 

My mum also got me one of these (I think she's going to get another one for me) candle holders! I really like it. I'll be trying and redo my room a bit again when I take down my Christmas decorations!

I also got some money, gift cards and other bits and bobs. I was such a lucky girl this year, and I'm so thankful for everything I got and it was a very very lovely Christmas eve with my family.  

Tomorrow is New Years eve, which I will spend alone because I want to. I don't like New Years Eve, I don' party, I don't drink, I don't like eating fancy food and slap on glitter on my face. So this year I'm at home, eating nuggets with my dog. But for everyone else, if you're going out, please be safe and drink responsibly! And the most important, just have fun and may you have a good start on 2014.

See you next year!

I love - raw crystal jewellery

I don't think it's any secret that I fecking love raw crystals. And I can safely say I've gotten a little neat collection. The only downside to this obsession is that it's so hard to find some okay priced ones. I live in Denmark, where if I buy from outside Europe, it can't go over 80 kr ($14/£8) before the risk of import taxes can be added (which, may are add, are insane!) And sometimes the shipping is just ridiculous.

BUT!

I found this lovely seller on eBay, and I was sold. The first picture was unfortunately (not for me, hehe) a one of a kind, but the two after can still be found on the shop. Shipping was fast, it's from Australia, I live in Denmark and it took maybe 1½ weeks. I can highly recommend!

The two last ones were from a DIY I did not long ago. Check it out here if you haven't seen that already! The seller for the crystals is in that post as well.

I thought about giving advice on how to style them, but I'm not fashion expert or anything, and I really wear them with whatever I wish. So you can ROCK (get it, crystals, rocks, hahahaha?!?!?) however you like!

DIY: Crystal necklace

You'll need:

Metal thread, crystals (with holes in), a chain, pair of scissors, super glue and a.. jewellery.. thing..

How you do it:

Cut chain to desired length

Cut a piece of metal thread, rather cut it too long than too short!

Add chain to the thread

Make a loop around the chain to secure it

Tighten it

Cut off excess thread and put into the crystal and add a drop of super glue. Repeat on the other side!

Final product:

If you're giving this as a present, find a cute box, put some kind of lining in and bam! Looks very pretty and they will be shocked when you say you made it yourself

I love crystal necklaces and it's super easy to make! Christmas is around the corner, it makes an adorable present. And who doesn't love a home made present? It's personal and you spend time doing it! So I hope you can use this little quick DIY. I had fun making it!

Where to get crystals: Ebay, I got mine from this seller. Else markets, craft shops.
