DIY Candles

I'm in love with this idea! Homemade candles that are perfect as gifts or just for yourself. And the smell...perfect :) I really like them!

And eventhough QueenBeeuty calls them 'Winter Candles' you can also do them in the Summer by just using other sents and colours!

I'll definetely try this out! What about you? ^.^



NOTE: I don't own this video! It was made by QueenBeeuty. I use it on my blog because I really like it!

DIY: Lip scrub

Another DIY for you today: In the Winter your lips need special care and what's better than using a homemade, all organic lip scrub? :)

You will need:

• Brown sugar (you could also use white sugar)
• Honey
• Oil

1. Mix a bit of sugar with some honey. Take as much as you want/need.
2. Add just a tiny bit of oil. 
3. Mix everthing together.
4. Apply on your lips and rub it in using your hands or a toothbrush. 
5. Afterwards you can wipe it off or just lick it off :)

The lip scrub will help you to get rid of all that dead skin on your lips and will make them super smooth. Use this about two or three times a week and your lips are ready for the cold Winter months.

Organic Hairstyles

If your a subscriber of LuxyHair you've probably seen this amazing tutorials by Mimi. For these hairstyles you need nothing but your own hair!

I love the idea, eventhough it doesn't work on my own hair (stupid hair texture^^). But I tried it out on some of my friends and it looked amazing :)


NOTE: I don't own any of these videos. They're all made by LuxyHair. I use them because I like them and want to share them with my readers.

DIY: Strawberry Liptint

Strawberries are naturally rich in antioxidants and they even whiten teeth! The rich colour will help create a super natural look for your lips.

You only need one strawberry and a bit of oil.

1. Smash the strawberry. You only need the juice.
2. Mix the juice with 1/2 spoon of  oil.
3. Apply it onto your lips. Rub it in for a more natural look and your finished!

Christmas Traditions

Where I live, we only celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve - we open all of our presents on 24 December. But nevertheless I want to share my family's Christmas traditions with you :)

The morning is pretty relaxed. We take our Christmas tree, put it inside the living room and decorate it. We usually have a small tree so we like to put it onto a small table. My cat gets really lazy in the winter time, so he likes to sleep under the tree - it's right next to the heater ^.^
After the Christmas tree is all finished, we have our traditional Christmas soup made by my grandmother for lunch. Unfortunately I don't like all of the ingredients, so I just have a normal noodle soup (I should mention: I love noodles!^^). Then we take all of our presents and put them under the tree.
The rest of the afternoon is really relaxed: We normally watch movies and stuff. At around six o'clock we normally have dinner. Every year we eat something different, but usually we have two different meals: One based on meat and the other one is vegetarian - my brother and I are veggies.
Afterwards we all have to wait, while my dad goes into the living room and looks if the Christ Child has already been here - in truth he just lights up the candles on the tree. Then we all go into the living room, sit down and sing some Christmas songs. After that we finally swap our gifts.
We normally stay up late and talk. The next morning we sleep really long and then go out for lunch with the hole family.

These are my family's traditions. What about your's? :)

Merry Christmas! :)

I just want to wish you all a merry Christmas! Hope, you'll get some great presents ;)

DIY Blessing Bags

Have you seen the new video by Blair Fowler on her vlogging channel? It's all about helping the poor and if you haven't seen it yet: Watch it!

I think, it's such a good idea and a perfect way to give something back - and what better time than Christmas to do this? I'll definetely give this a try. What about you? :)

I love uggs!

I love uggs! I know, most people don't like them but come on: They are just too comfortable! Another plus: Where I live it's really cold and there is always a ton of snow in the winter. These boots keep you warm and your feet dry at the same time :)

This year I haven't bought a pair yet, but maybe after Christmas I'll go get myself a new one. I want to buy a pair that looks like the one above. Isn't it adorable? ^.^

What do you think of ugg boots? Do you wear them?


P.S.: Today I saw a blog post from Blair about ugg boots :) Click here to check it out!

Gift Idea: Last Minute DIY

A few days ago I did a blog post about DIY gifts for Christmas and one of my ideas was making coupons. Today I found the perfect way to do that!

This video was made by craftychica and it shows how she makes this mini-zines to promode her book and her brand. But I think, I'd be perfect for coupons as well! It's fast and super easy, everyone can do it!

(I tried to upload a tutorial on how I make those coupons, but YouTube doens't work -.- I'll try to reupload soon)

TAG: This or That (Random)

Coke or Pepsi? I really don't taste the differents ^_^

Ice cream or frozen yogurt? I've never tried frozen yogurt but I really love ice cream!

Clothes or makeup? Lately I haven't been wearing a lot of makeup but spent waaaay too much money on clothes ;)

Hairspray or frizz lotion? I use frizz lotion on my wet hair before I blow dry it but I like never use hairspray.

TV or book? I really love books! But I can't live without Spencer Reid from "Criminal Minds" :) He's like my personal Justin Bieber

Pool or beach? Beach!

Water or soda? I drink more water but I also like soda

Sandals or boots? Right now: Boots all the way!

Purse or backpack? It depends on where I'm going

Team Jacob or Team Edward? I'm not a big fan of Twilight but if I had to choose...probably Edward. He's cuter ;)

Wizards of Waverly Place or Hannah Montana? I've never been a big fan of Disney shows but I love the movies!

Mall or online shopping? Mall! I love searching for that one perfect item for hours until my feet hurt ^.^

Tennis or soccer? I like playing tennis better but football (soccer) is much more exciting than tennis on TV

MAC or Maybelline? I haven't really had the chance to try out both brandes yet.


These are my answers for this blog post :) Hope you all liked it!

Hairstyle: Nicole Scherzinger - X Factor Top 5 Elimination

Did you watch X Factor a couple days ago? Well, if you did I'm sure you saw Nicole's hairstyle! Isn't it just gorgeous?

I found an amazing tutorial on YouTube by a guru called bebexo :) Check it out!

I love this hairstyle! It's kinda rocky and wild, but still wearable for school or just hanging out with your friends. For an extra casual look don't braid your bangs!
So what do you guys think of this hairstyle? Will you give it a try? And what do you think about Nicole's choice to send Rachel home?

NOTE: I don't own the video! It was made by bebexo. I use it on my blog to show my support and because I'm a big fan!

Cute Coffee Mug Sweater!!!

OMGHHKP! Remember this? Yeah, it's from Blair Fowler :)

But today I won't talk about her. Her sister Elle made a blog post on their website like two months ago called Ins & Outs: Candles, Kitties and Coffee. There she wrote about a coffee mug sweater.

I thought it looked adorable! And I started to scream when I saw one at a store called Depot. It was like a little set: It came with a plain white big mug, an adorable beige sweater, a hot chocolate mix and even a little egg whisk to mix it! How cute is that? I love it <3
I decided to buy one for my brother as a Christmas present, because he's really into tea and coffee and stuff. Maybe I'll even go back and get one for myself ;)

YouTube: cutepolish

I love writting about youtubers and I've been watching this youtuber's videos for quite a while now. I'm talking about cutepolish!

Her tutorials are simple and easy to follow but still adorable. And her videos have good quality as well :)

That's one of my favourites! Perfect for Moustache-November :)

When school started I wore this design on my nails for one month straight! Love it <3

Easy, but super adorable!! You have to try it out :)

Perfect for Halloween if you're going as Minnie Mouse ;D Super cute!

I love the cookie monster so I also love this design <3

These are just a few of my favourites! Please check her out, she makes amazing videos!

Gift Idea: DIY Christmas Presents

Today I want to share some DIY gift ideas with you. I think, homemade presents are adorabel and everyone loves them! So let's get started :)

1. Selfmade Mug
   This makes a perfect present for a tea or coffee lover! Just get a plain mug and some paint and you're ready to start. The supplies are not expensive and everyone can do something like that! There are tons of tutorials on youtube, but my favourite ones are the Moustache Mug and this Hello Kitty & Totoro Mug. You can also add some tea or coffee to make this gift perfect :)
2. Teacup Candle
   Super easy & super cute! I love the look of these candles, they're adorable! Click here to find a tutorial.
3. DIY Tissue Holder
   A perfect gift for the winter. This is so easy, even someone who's not good at sewing can do this! I found a great and easy to follow tutorial here.
4. Selfmade Calender
   I think, this is a great gift for your parents or grandparents. Just take some nice photos of you (and your siblings, your pet,...) and glue them onto the calender (you can find those nearly everywhere!). This is a really cute and personal gift. I got one for my birthday from my friends and I love it!
5. Recipe Book
   Really easy, but it's a great and personal gift for everyone who's into cooking and baking. I really like how this one turned out.
6. DIY Pillow
   I love this gift, because it's soooo cute and you can give it to everyone! Again, there are tons of tutorial but why don't you try out the Strawberry Pillow or the Donut Pillow?
7. Coupons
   A great last minute gift idea. Perfect for your boyfriend (love coupons), friend, brother, mom... Just take some paper and fun coloured pens. Think of some good coupons:
   Boyfriend: Dinner out, cinema, romatic picknick, sport event, breakfast in bed,...
   Best girlfriend: Movie Night, mani- and pedicure, shopping trip, cinema, spa day,...
   Mom/Dad: Breakfast in bed, no housework to do, you cook them a romatic dinner,...

I hope, this helped you a bit :)

Tips & Tricks: Christmas Shopping

I don´t know about you but I love Christmas shopping! So today I want to share some of my tips with you :)

• Make a list of everyone you need to get a gift for! Take it with you when you´re going shopping so you can cross off people as you get a present for them. You can also have the list in the note system of your mobile if thats easier for you.
• Look for presents all year! I do that a lot: If I see something that's perfect for one of my friends, I buy it and keep it until Christmas. This way you are less stressed and you don't spend all of your money at once.
• Bring your own bags! That's not only meant for Christmas! Try to bring your own bags everytime you go shopping. That's not only greener but also smarter, because plastic bags can be quiet expensive if you buy one in every store!
• Shop online! I personally don't shop online. But if you want to save some money: You can get a lot of things way cheaper of, for example, ebay! Just order early enough so you get the package before Christmas! (I don't shop online, because I love looking for the "perfect" gift for hours. But if you´re not a shoperholic like me or you just don't have the time, then I would recommend shopping online)
• Set a price limit! This way you don't go crazy and spent all your money (usually happens to me).

These are my tips for you on Christmas shopping! There are plenty more but if you use the ones above you should be fine. Happy shopping :)

Blog: A little bit of Roza

Recently I watch a video by Superbeautynerd where she talked about her favourite products as well as her favourite youtubers/blogger. She talked about a blog called alittlebitofroza.blogspot.com

This blog is written by a girl called Roza. She lives in the UK and I'm in love with her website! You have to check her out!

Oh, and I also love her illustrations! :)

Gift Idea: Snow Globe

Here's another gift idea I picked out for you: How about a cute snow globe with your own photos in it?

I got one for my birthday and I thought it´s such a cute idea. I´m actually going to give one to my friend for Christmas.

It could look something like this. You can find them at probably any decor store. Then just print out your phote and cut it the right shape. Put it into the snow globe and your finished! Super easy!
The snow globe I bought was only about 3€! (about 4$ and 2.5£)



But of course you can do a snow globe on your own! I found this easy tutorial made by Bethany aka Macbarbie07 on youtube :)

NOTE: I don't own this video! It was made by Macbarbie07. I use it on my blog to show my support and because I really enjoy watching her videos.

YouTube: Spankie Valentine

I recently found an amazing young woman on youtube. Her name is Spankie Valentine and she is hilarious! She's a model, artist, singer and she makes the best videos ever! Check her out!!!!
She also makes videos for a website called UrbanOG.com (links below)

Website: http://www.spankievalentine.com/

Gift Idea: Makeup bag filled with goodies

If you have a girlfriend who´s really into makeup and you don´t know what to get her for Christmas, you maybe want to give this gift idea a try: How about a beautiful makeup bag filled with beauty related goodies?

For a good quality makeup bag I´d recommend the ones from Cath Kidston for £10.00. Click here to visit the shop. Just look at the design! Isn´t it adorabel?

Why don´t you buy a  Travalo and fill it with your favourite parfume? Click here to check those amazing things out! This is way cheaper than buying a full bottle of parfume but it's still a lovely present!

Just fill the bag with some of your favourite makeup products, maybe some jewelery or even a gift card. This will make a perfect present and it isn´t really expensive because you can choose the products you add to it on your own! And if that's still too expensive: I think, the bag would make a perfect present on it's own as well! 

Paris Hilton's Shoe Closet!

OMG! Have you ever seen Paris Hilton´s shoe closet? No? Well, me neither. But I found a photo of it online! Check it out :)

 

Isn´t it freaking amazing? A dream for every fashionista!! ;D

I found the picture on this blog.

Nicki Minaj OPI Collection

Have you guys checked out the Nicki Minaj OPI collection coming in January? I think the colours look amazing! Click here to see the different nail polishes.

My favourite on is probably "Save me", because I´ve never seen a colour like this!

The colours are really unique, just like her! I hope, you check them out :)

Favourite songs at the moment

1.  Geronimo by Aura Dione
2. Forget you by Cee Lo Green
3. 21 Guns by Greenday
4. You and I by Lady Gaga

Get ready with me!

The first thing I do when I wake up is shower. I shampoo my hair, add conditioner and leave it to soak while I shave and wash my face and body. Then I rinse out my hair.
After I get out of the shower I put my hair up in a towel, use a face moisturizer and lip balm. It´s time to brush my teeth. Then I like to apply my body lotion and deodorant.
After that I go back into my room and get dressed. Back in the bathroom I remove the towel from my hair and apply some leave in conditioner. I like to do my makeup while my hair is still wet so it can air dry a little.
Now it´s makeup time! I´ll do a post on my daily routine soon ;)
When my makeup is done I like to blow dry my hair and then style it. Afterwards I go back into my room again and pick my accessories.
By that point I´m all finished with my routine and it´s time for breakfast! Yummy ;D

NOTE: I don´t wash my hair daily! Upon is my routine for a “hair-washing” day. When I don´t wash my hair I just like to put it into a bun.
It takes my about 45 minutes to get ready. It would go faster but I´m always so tired (not a morning person, definitely! ) so everything takes me a lot longer.  I wake up around 6am and I leave for school at 7am.

Ins & Outs: December

Hey everyone! Today I´ll share my ins and outs with you :)

IN

• ·        My grandma makes the best Christmas cookies and I love them! It really gets you into the mute for Christmas. The only bad thing about Christmas cookies: I can´t stop eating ;)
• ·         I´m in love with candles! I think, they're super relaxing and they smell so yummy <3
• ·         Another thing I love about the fall/winter is the cold :) I really love the summer with the hot weather and stuff but lately I´ve been enjoying all my scarves and warm sweaters.
• ·          What´s better than tea and hot chocolate on a cold winter day? Oh, I love drinking those! Especially if my hands are too cold ^.^

OUT

• ·         There is no snow yet! Normally we´d have tons of snow by now but this year there´s none T.T
• ·         It gets dark so early! I don´t like that because for some strange reason I can´t sleep in the dark xD I´m always so tired in the morning!!!
• ·         My nails! Lately they´ve been so short and every time I try to grow them back they break O.o
