Happy hump day,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)

every year I am looking forward to share our Christmas tree with you guys. I can go all out on Christmas decor, Christmas songs and just get in the spirit for the season.

This year I wanted a traditional color but also very glamorous so I decided to go with gold. You can never go wrong with one of the Christmas colors like gold or red. Since I had red last year this was the natural choice.

One thing I needed to switch out this year have been the lights. We always used string lights but to be honest it was a pain the a** to put them on every year. So I decided to get single lights this year which are turned on with a remote and let me tell you it is so convenient.

I got a pack of 30 pieces off of amazon and love them very much. They definitely add extra flair to the tree.

If you are looking for some extra inspiration for your Christmas tree I am linking my tree´s from the last years for you.

Mint green and silver

Pink and black

Red and green

Have you spotted the pickle on the tree??

Do you know the story behind it? It is supposed to be hidden in the tree and the person who finds it first will receive a little present. Cute and easy am I right.

Did you decorate your tree already? I know it is early putting the Christmas tree up on the 1rst of November but it somehow became a tradition over here.

Loungewear for colder days or sitting out a pandemic…

The pandemic happening this year plus the second (light) lockdown here in Germany has become the literal dead of dressing up. With holiday season upon us it is even one more reason to be sad about. I have loved getting ready for holiday themed parties and events and afterward slip into my cozy loungewear but times have changed and it took a tragic turn. Maybe I am exaggerating a little but that is how it feels to me.

Don´t get me wrong I like to get comfortable on the sofa as much as anybody but doing my make-up and get dressed everyday has always been a huge and important part of my daily routine and since having a baby and being at home cause is not safe / allowed to go anywhere I haven´t had that many ocassions to do so.

So I finally invested in some cute / chic loungewear cause even if I have to stay at home and be comfortable it doesn´t meant I have to do that in worn out gray sweatpants.

Loungewear has definitely improved and I ordered some cute pieces from Asos I wanted to share with you.

Tips on decorating your front porch…

Hello my fall loving ladies,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliste Links-not sponsored)

I have been decorating my front porch for Fall for years now and some years I love it better than others but in general if there are pumpkins and mums I am satisfied. Mums are the perfect Fall flowers as the colors are beautiful, I personally prefer the burgundy variation but I love them all.

And of course lots and lots of pumpkins – the ultimate Fall symbol. We went to the pumpkin patch two weeks ago and got some great pumpkins, besides the gorgeous orange ones a really cool green one and some pretty whtie ones. But let´s start on assembling. I wanted to share some of my tips and what has worked well for our entrance.

Tips on decoration your front porch

– add color – like different mums

– mix real pumpkins and ceramic ones

– add different flowers

– hang a Fall themed wreath on your door

– add different door mates – a bigger and a smaller one or a plain and a patterned one

– get a wodden sign for your entrance (I am definitely buying one for next year)

– play with heights (different pots, different sizes of flowers and pumpkins)

– use different planters to make it interesting

I love to deocrate for Fall whether it is indoors or outdoors. What is your favorite time to decorate?

14 not so spooky movies to get you in the Halloween mood…

Happy Saturday you guys,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)

I am currently sitting on the sofa, it is raining outside and we are watching Hocus Pocus. What a coincidence, am I right sisters? 😉

We are halfway through October and what better way to get in the Halloween spirit than watching all the right movies. I am not a huge horror fan because all the hardcore movies creep the life out of me but thankfully there are a ton of cute and low-key frightening movies to watch.

14 not so spooky Halloween Movies

Hubie Halloween // Netflix

Caspar – the friendly ghost // Prime Video

Beetlejuice // Prime Video

Addams Family 1+2 // Prime Video

Hocus Pocus // Disney + / Prime Video

Halloweentown 1 + 2 // Disney +

The Nightmare before Christmas // Disney +

Ghostbusters 1 + 2 // Neflix

The Haunted Mansion // Disney +

The Witches // Neflix

Practical Magic // Prime Video

We already watched a few and I can´t believe how great they are year after year. Make yourself some popcorn or your favorite drink and have a nice evening.

If there is something we have learned this year it is to live in the moment as nobody knows what happens next and a cozy and relaxing night in to distract from the current events is much needed from time to time.
