Things to do in December/Christmas

December is one of my favorite month of the year. I love Christmas; if it's even possible, I think I'm loving it more each year.

I have barely started Christmas shopping... but no stress, right? The other day, I bought a Christmas CD, that I'll listen to all december. And I'll probably watch many, many Christmas movie (#fave)!

• Decorate your own room; go get you some fairy lights and put it in your room and you can actually leave them there all year.
• Decorate a christmas tree.
• Go for a walk when it's snowing outside.
• Buy an ugly Christmas sweater to wear on the mornings of Christmas eve and Christmas.
• Do a wine & cheese, also, buy all the Christmassy food! YUM. Candies, chocolate, CANDY CANES? Yes. Please.
• Do yourself a hot chocolate with marshmallows and watch christmas movies with the family (ELF, Grinch, Home Alone, Love Actually...)
• Listen to all the Christmas songs
• Do some cool, Pinterest recipes
• Do a gingerbread house
• Christmas shopping when the festive music is playing, you can find some really good christmas playlist online.
• Light all your candles
• Go for a walk when there is a light snow :)
• Relax and read books
• Do some christmas inspired nail art
• Try to do some cool DIY you see on Pinterest
• Go take a walk in the woods and do a photoshoot
• Take some photographies
• Buy yourself a christmas themed PJs and some new slippers!
• Make your friends & family Christmas cards
• Go ice skating
• Play board games
• Build a snowman
• Do some paper snow flakes

hello December!

Hello December! It is now time to eat chocolate everyday from our chocolate calendar; counting down the days 'til Christmas.

I can't believe we are already December & that Christmas is a few weeks away! Where did 2015 even go?! I have barely started shopping for Christmas gifts; I think I'll be going Christmas shopping today. And to believe that 2016 is a month away blows my mind.

I'm so excited about decorating and making my room cozy. I love hearing Christmas music while shopping. 

I'm a big Christmas lover and enjoy doing anything related to Christmas. I even bought a Christmas CD, and I think that now that it's December it's acceptable to listen to it.

I'm also looking for ideas for winter/christmas related blog post. So any ideas will be appreciated.

Anyways, can't believe it's now time to use my Twisted Peppermint & Vanilla Beam Noel candle from Bath & body works. I hope everyone has a great month of December, counting down the days 'til the magical day of Christmas...

What did you get for Christmas?

Winterlicious tag

Christmas is just around the corner so I believe that this would be fun to do: Winterlicious tag.

1) Favorite Winter Nail Polish?

Vixen by Revlon, this was hard to choose but you can't go wrong with red nailpolish during the holidays/winter.

2) Favorite Winter lip product?

I would have to say my Korres lip butter that I bought a few weeks ago. They add a nice touch of color, super moisturizing and they all have a nice smell.

3) Most worn Winter clothing piece?

My coat I would say.

4) Most worn Winter accessory?

Infinity scarfs, I just can't stop wearing them!

5) Favorite winter scent/candle?

Twisted peppermint from Bath & Body Works. It's such a great smell, not just for the holidays, but for the winter as well.

6) Favorite Winter beverage?

Hot chocolate, holiday drinks from Starbucks and Tim Hortons.

7) All time favorite Christmas/Holiday movie?

I have ALOT of favorites, but I think I will say: Grinch and Elf.

8) Favorite Christmas/Holiday song?

French is my first language, so I have alot of french favorite Christmas song. I also lovelovelove the english version equally. I also like Christmas song by popular singers like Taylor Swift and Coldplay. Ahhh, I just can't choose. There's so much to choose from and so many of them are my favorites. I'm sorry.

9) Favorite Holiday food/treat?

Food: I basicly love all the Christmas food, I can't choose. Treat: I also love them all, but you can't go wrong with candy canes.

10) What is your favorite Christmas Decoration this year?

I love Christmas decoration. But Christmas lights are so pretty. So I guess I will choose that.

11) What's at the top of your Christmas list?

iPhone.

12) What are your plans for the holidays this year?

Usually our tradition, we open our family gift when we wake up on the 24th, then we use our gift and stuff. Then we cook, get ready, then go to my grandma for supper. We open our gift there. Then we stay there late. Then on 25th we go to our aunt and uncle, for dinner. Open some gifts.

Haul: From Christmas shopping to gifts to myself

I have alot of haul lately. Mainly because, 1. I have not been shopping for the past months, 2. When shopping for Christmas for other people, and you see things you've wanted all you can do is buy them and call tell "Gifts to myself". Also, I need more ideas of what kind of blog post to write, since I'm new at this. If you ever want to see reviews on certain product or what-so-ever, let me know!

This an imitation of the J. Crew bubble necklace, I bought at Urban Planet for the cost of 7$. What a deal. It's a statement necklace, a pretty colour: pinkish coral. Not sure how to style it, but when I do I'll try and write an article on it.

I was excited for essies new collection, a magnetic one: a first for essie! I have never tried magnetic polishes before, but this one was original, a snake print. As I said I tried it for this first today, and I had really hard time trying to figure it out: my magnet got all messy with polish (I hope I can fix it!) If you don't mess it up like me, I would say it works fine and give a pretty design. I will try to fix it, if I can't then the color itself is pretty, it's a beautiful metalic red in the shade sssssexy.

I've been wanting to try this product for a while. After hearing so many beauty gurus on youtube raved about it. I've tried it twice and I think I noticed a small difference I would say, so that's a plus! But I can't confirm everything right now, maybe I'll do a review later on.

I saw this purse on the front display at Spring, and I knew I had to get it. For the price of 40$, I think it's really a good-sized purse, alot of space. My only fear is that the studded details looks like they could easily fall out. I hope not.

Well, this is it for my haul, I have much more ideas for article. All I need is time. Hope you all had a wonderful day!! c xoxo

Bath & Body Works: Vanilla Beam Noel

I've had this in my B&BW haul! And I think this WONDERFUL smell needs its own review. I don't even remember the last time a smell had me in such a good mood. It is so conforting; and like, cozy and warm(ish). It's just perfect. I am love with this shower gel and I surely will repurchase more of that bad boy.

On another trip to the mall, I needed to stop at B&BW, and as my obsession with this smell grew stronger, it only felt right to pick up this body spray.

Two words: get it.
It will change your life. I basicly want everything to smell like Vanilla Beam Noel, and I surely plan on stocking on that wonderful smell before they go out of stock!!

What's your favorite B&BW holiday products?
C xoxo

Haul: Bath & Body Works

I'm obsessed with the holidays. So many different things are in store. One of my favorite during the Christmas season have to be B&BW. Their Christmas stuff puts me in jolly mood! I've bought some things and I plan on buying more. Yup, I'm obsessed! I love the smell. I love vanilla. There's something about this one though. Sorry I suck at explaining smells.

I love this one also. Cannot wait to try them.

This cream is so moisturizing. It's perfect for this time of the year.

I'm so excited about using this one. I love peppermint and this smells EXACTLY like peppermint. Christmas mood guaranteed.

I bought 5 of them because they were on special. 5$ for 5. And I use them all so much. Also I bought some Christmas ones. B&BW are my favorite hand sanitizer.
