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? :)
