Valentine´s Day is exactly one week away and I know that we are staying home cause we will still be in lockdown but nevertheless I am going to dress up and enjoy my take-away food with every inch of my body.
But for all of my gals who want to dress up or are allowed to go to dinner I am sharing this set (and some more) of cute and affordable Valentine´s Day earrings. I personally love a great statement earring as much as my lipsticks so this was a no brainer to get heart themed earrings for the day of love.
Now lets see what we´ve got – a great mix between pearls, letters, hearts and velvet.
I got the set of eight and I shared some of them in the photos I took above. Do you guys have any plans? Maybe we could do something we haven´t thougth about and isn´t closed of restricted.
See you tomorrow. Enjoy the last hours of your weekend.
the weekend is very near but if you currently are a stay-at-home mom or working from home your days might look very similar. We are in our second hard lockdown in Germany which means shops, restaurants and schools are closed and will remain so until the middle of February.
We have gotten really tired of watching TV and I never thought I would say this. Our one and most occupying activity from the last lockdown has been our newborn baby but this time is different so we have been on the hunt for other things to do. Let´s dive into it.
Lockdown Activities
#1 Coloring Book
I started this recently and I love it more than I have thought. The coloring book is from Johanna Basford and has the most beautiful flower patterns to color I have ever seen. I was mesmerized by it immediately and am so happy I got it. It takes quite some time to fill a whole page with color. Great to kill time. These are the pens I am using and I find them to be the best (Stabilo Pens / Edding Pens.
#2 Puzzle
This has been one of our lockdown favorites from before. A 1000 piece puzzle is so hard to finish but that is the thing behind it. It costs time and distracts and is really funny if you are puzzling together. The puzzle is Jafar from the Disney Villains Limited Edition. Definitely going to get Captain Hook next.
#3 Playstation Game
Getting a Playstation game for more than one player to play the same game together was a first for us and I hesitated a little because I never play and am quite bad (my husband plays a lot of game and mostly every day so he is used how to play with the controller, I have always been more of a computer games girl) but it turned out to be awesome. Sackboy is so so cute and would also be great to play with your child. I am totally hooked right now and will be ordering Little Big Planet very soon.
#4 Daily Walks
Physical activity is very important. If you have to stay at home a lot getting on daily walks is cruel. The fresh air and moving around sets endorphines free which are very important to prevent bad moods / depressions and if the sun is shining you also get some extra vitamin D.
#5 Organizing
I have been organizing like crazy for the last few weeks. Room by room and drawer after drawer and I am happy to say that I am already through organizing every closet in the house. This leaves me feeling so happy and accomplished. Although the shops are closed I got everything I needed from amazon. Their pieces for organisation are next level.
#6 Cooking /Baking
Now is the time to try those recipes that have been sitting in your kitchen drawers for like forever. I have been making a ton of new things with our Instant Pot and also pinned some recipes I am going to try very soon. This is definitely a nice way to spend your time. If you are searching for a partner activity you can cook together.
The loungewear set I am wearing is from Monki and on super sale right now.
and with today´s post I am kicking off Valentine´s Day post season. This is my first post of the year regarding one of my favorite holidays.
I have posted tons of Valentine´s Day content over the years but never thought of making cute pink waffles. Now that we had so much time on hand and a waffle iron I made several different things in the waffle iron amongst waffles but for today´s post pink waffles it is and I am clearly not mad about it.
Being spoiled on Valentine´s Day with breakfast in bed or a sweet treat in the afternoon is definitely a very nice gesture but you can easily make them by yourself. All you need is a basic waffle recipe and red food coloring. The food color I am always using and is from Wilton and it creates the brightest shades.
This is the waffle recipe I have used. We made quite a lot of waffles since the first time for our breakfast board. They are the easiest of all sweet breakfast treats.
My pj´s are from Missguided and I got them from Asos. I could not link them via Shopstyle but I added some very similar and a ton of other cute pieces to the widget.
It snowed so much today so I got a ton of computer work done as we didn´t set foot outside. See you tomorrow with another style post.
Red Wine has become a huge favorite of mine over the last couple of years. I didn´t like it much when I was younger – maybe that´s an age thing – but now it is pretty much everything (besides champagne) I drink when it comes to alcohol.
Over the last few months (since I stopped breastfeeding) I tried out different red wines – mostly Cabernet Sauvignon – and I definitely found amazing wines for great prizes but also some that I didn´t like cause they were way to intense.
All of my red wines are dry. I find these the most enjoyable tastewise plus if they don´t taste good I find them to be the most aromatic to cook with.
The red wines I am reviewing today range from 5 to 12 Euro and I have a real gem for you for only 9 Euro. So now pour yourself a glass and keep on reading if you are interested.
Also I know some of you are doing dry January but this doesn´t mean that you can´t collect suggestions for the upcoming months.
A very light and good drinkable red wine. Low on acid. It is a dry cabernet sauvignon and a great wine for beginners. The Gallo wines overall are very tasty. The Gallo Cabernet Sauvignon costs 5 Euro. I got this one the second time already. In my opinon this is a awesome wine for gatherings cause it caters to the tastebuds of a lot of people. I give this one a B+.
My least favorite, in fact I used the rest to cook beef stew. It was way to heavy for me and I do like the real thick and heavy texture in a dark red wine but it had such a racy like taste and was somehow not enjoyable to drink. I am going to try the Merlot the brand offers soon but so far I am not impressed. The bottle costs about 7 Euro. I am rating this one with a D.
This has been my number one find. Costs about 10 Euro and has the best smell of berries when you open up the bottle. It is a very tasty wine but not acidic at all for a Cabernet Sauvignon. I would prefer this brand over every other I have tried so far every time. I have already convinced a dear friend of mine to try it who by the way loves red wine and she immediately got herself a small stack. This one get an A+. There is nothing I would change.
Another smooth and easy to drink red wine like the Gallo wine. It is a Cabernet Sauvignon but semi-dry. I also have the Shiraz but I like this one a lot better. It definitely is fruity and light. I personally would have prefered it a littlestronger but nevertheless is it a great wine. I am rating this wine with a B+. The bottle costs about 6 Euro.
I am sorry the review has taken so long but I had the worst technical difficulties over the weekend and couldn´t load up anything.
I am now back to my regular posting schedule so see you tomorrow.
