This post means two things – the most wonderful time of the year is over and I can organize the crap out of our Christmas decor and start the new year fresh. 

I am very sad that Christmas time is over cause I have loved it so much this year. The girl´s had so much fun and where so in awe of every light and little detail. It was the cutest thing. 

But like every season Christmas also comes to an end and we have to pack away all things magical. But how to do so. I am gonna say it as it is – organize it now and save time later. I myself have thrown everything into boxes years ago and just put it away and when the holly jolly time is back and you want to decorate and only find half of it somewhere joy is gone very quick.

So let´s organize….

Christmas Decor Organization and Storage Options

Wrapping Paper Storage

I have shared all about it in this short Instagram Reel. It makes a hell of a difference to have everything you´ll need for gift wrapping in one place than in three different. You can see what you have, what matches and what you could restock for the next holiday.

Garland Storage

This is new to me and I have seen this last year and wanted to get one once this Christmas decor period is over and I am so glad I did. It fits my 3 garlands perfectly and I can see what´s inside and it is also protected from dust.

Ornament Storage

I have gotten two of these divided xxl bins for my ornaments and I am very happy about it. They are pretty sturdy on the outside and hold a lot of our Christmas ornaments. You can also recognize colors from the outside so it is even easier to find what you need.

Christmas Tree Storage

I have used this huge bag for two years now and it is still my favorite way to store our tree. Of course this only applies to you if you have a fake Christmas tree. My mom is storing hers whole. She just has a cover to throw over and zip up. Only possible if you have the space and height to store it like this but also a great solution.

Decor Storage

Bins are your friend here. In all sizes. I store all kinds of Christmas decor in there. Figurines and all of my fairy lights. The girl´s room Christmas decor and

Pillow / Fabric Storage

I have folded my pillow covers, stockings, table runner and put then into this bin. On the other side are the Christmas pillows. Works great. This way I can immediately see what I got when I open it up again the next year. A little tip if you have lots of silky or shiny organza fabric – I put them in a empty pillow cover so they don´t get mixed up or a tear from another zipper for example.

!!!!!!!!!!

One last tip at the end of this post. If you are storing your Christmas decor in your attic where temperatures change a lot between Summer and Winter make sure to remove your batteries from everything possible. First of all they will decharge and not work when you need your item again and second of all they are more easily to leak with the wild temperatures and damage everything around because of the agressive battery acid. 

And another thing. Don´t store wax figures in your attic if it will get hot in the Summer. A few of mine have melted into unrecognizable lumps.

Last Minute Valentine´s Day Children Gifts – Amazon Prime…

Valentine´s Day is one of my favorite days of the year, unfortunately it isn´t as popular here in Germany as some places else but that can´t stop me from enjoying this day to its fullest. 

Now that Emila is old enough she finally understands what it is all about and was a great help to put together these cute little gift sets for her playgroup friends. 

Since Valentine´s Day is just around the corner and you still haven´t thought of little gifts you can order all of them from amazon with prime shipping, so you can make sure you get it until Tuesday. 

I made a set out of a poppit toy since these are still super popular not only among the littlest, bubbles, a bouncy ball and Smarties. The latter is available at every supermarket. I just sorted out all the other colors and kept the pink, purple and red ones to stick to the theme. 

It is just  a little thing to share with her friends but I am sure they will be super happy and she is so excited to give it to them.

Monthly Five – Amazon Beauty and Make-Up Products #2…

….

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

Revlon Professional Equave Detangling Conditioner // This one has become my go-to leave in conditioner. It works within seconds and makes your hair super easy to comb. Especially great if you have wavy hair or loosing a lot at the moment due to postpartum hair loss like me.

Physician´s Formula Primer // I tried this one because it has great reviews and I am on the lookout for another primer I would love but this one isn´t it. The smell is amazing and it is creamy and super easy to apply but it is not working for me. The pores seems to appear smaller or smoother but it doesn´t help my skin to stay matte at all. It gets shiny within hours after applying and I do not like a glowing / sweating look on my face. The Benefit Poreless primer is still my number one.

Emeda False Lashes // I bought this whole 10 pair pack of lashes for 10 Euro from amazon and was very impressed with the quality. The silicone band is clear and soft just how I like it. The ends stick out a little but you can cut them easily on both sides and then you have a perfect pair of false lashes. The brand offers different styles but I think I am going to stick with these. They are the perfect everyday piece for me.

CeraVe Face Wash // Was on the hunt for a new face wash and have seen this in some other bloggers cart so I wanted to give it a try. I was a little intimidated by the price first but to be honest it is huge and I now have it for about a year and there is still plenty left. It is designed for oily skin and to remove tallow and dead skin cells. For me it works great. Doesn´t smell bad and the most important thing – it isn´t drying out my skin. Cause if there is one thing I hate it is itchy skin!!

Mario Badescu Drying Lotion // The hyped to the sky magical drying lotion. What other can I say about it than that it really helps. It does not make your pimple or acne zyst magically disapear but in my opinion it speeds up the process and shortens it about 2 or 3 days.

Monthly Five – Amazon Beauty and Make-Up Products #1….

….

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

Welcome to my new series – Monthly Five !! I am going to share five beauty and make-up products I have tried the last couple of years from amazon on a monthly basis. There are new things I loved and also staples I have been using for years and can´t stop getting. 

So for today I wanted to share my first montly series with five things I have tested long enough and love to us. 

Maybelline Sky High Mascara // Definitely a great find under 10 Euro. It is buildable which means you can get pretty long lashes. A little upside down is that the lower lashes loose black crumbs from time to time but all in all a good item.

Airspun Loose Face Powder // A staple of mine I have been using for years and repurchasing at every event like Black Friday or amazon prime day. It is mattifying and long lasting and always works for me not matter the season but to be honest I don´t get very tan.

Sante Nail Oil // I have been on the hunt for an affordable and also nice smelling nail oil for ages and this one is perfect. Smell is very nice, it costs under 10 Euro and last super long.

Revlon Oil Control On-The-Go // The sustained version of the blotting paper. The little roller ball is made of some sort of lava stone and absorbs all the oil of your shiny face regions. It works great and is washable and reusable.

Hydro Silk Touch Up Face Shaver // Let me warn you that they are super sharp. I have cut myself more than once but for the price they are the best I have tried cause they will stay sharp a long time. There are definitely cheaper ones but I am gonna stick with them.
