10 Days of Christmas Giveaways – Day 8 – skin care secrets…

Ein Kommentar

Good morning guys,
 (post contains affiliate links/giveaway/Post enthält Affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Giveaway-not sponsored)
I am back (after a little break) with giveaway #8 from my 10 days of giveaways series. Last week has been such a whirlwind and I had so so so much to do that I made a promise to myself, I am never ever again going to take so many appointments for ones week. I totally forgot about one and almost forgot a second one too.
But this weeks posts are going to be back regularly and in order (I need that for my sanity and also you guys know what´s up each day).
But let´s get to today´s topic. Who gets super dry skin in the winter months and hates it? I bet there where many hands up in the air. Me too guys, but I have found a product line I love and always switch back when winter time rolls around.  

The Neutrogena body lotion is my absolute favorite when it comes to dry, itchy and flaky skin. There probably isn´t a feeling I hate more than getting out of the shower and having the feeling of tight skin. Everybody who get´s extreme dry skin knows what I am talking about when I say your skin feels like it is too small for you.

I use the Neutrogena body lotion for very dry skin after every shower/bath. It enriches your skin with the moisture it needs while it soaks in very quick and leaves a smooth and enjoyable feeling on your skin. Also the hand cream is the perfect addition to throw into your handbag for when your are on the go. Washing and sanitizing your hands many times throughout the days (flu season is right around the corner) leaves your hands dry and itchy. Also the prettiest nail polish doesn´t look good when your hands are dry and bloody.

So for this reason I am giving away two sets of Neutrogena body and hand lotion. Be sure to enter below cause the cold is rolling in and you´ll be needing all the help to take care of your skin. Good luck.

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Holiday Party – frosty table scape in silver and white + Giveaway winners…

….

Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)
I am finally sharing the winter wonderland inspired table scape I set up for our holiday party two weeks ago!!! How can it possibly be almost the middle of December. Christmas is on the day two weeks away and there is so much I wanted to get done before. 

So first things first. Let´s start by sharing this adorable table scape with you so I can at least cross one thing of my list. 

I wanted to have an all whimsical and frosty table scape for this years Holiday party (party for our friends, not family there) so I incorporated lots of white and silver. By putting it together I had a little fear that it could turn out super boring but I absolutely loved it in the end.

I went with gray table runners speckled with white stars and snowflakes all over. To stay in the theme the platters where also silver as most of the table decor. The cotton napkins are also a light hue of gray. Meanwhile I prefer cotton napkins over disposable ones cause you just need to wash them and they are ready for their next use. Aaaand they add a much more luxe look to the whole table. The napkin rings are the most funny and pretty I have seen in a while and they completed the theme perfectly.
 So for the decoration I added a silver garland to beginn with. In the middle of the garland I put the candle holder including gray candles. For the rest of the table decor I opted for silver and white ornaments. I really love decorating with ornaments and since there are so many different shapes and colors it will probably never get old. To add some wintery and frosty feels I got a bunch of pinecones from our drug store and also a little wodden sleigh and glittery trees. 
The rest of it was kept pretty simple. White plates, silver cutlery and simple glasses. I really didn´t want to loose the focus on the decor.  
As a little guest favor I got these adorable little Raffaelo snowflakes.
It was such a nice evening with lots of stories and laugther and everybody was filled with good food and drinks as they left. 
Are you planning on inviting your friends for a holiday party into your home? Be sure to check out last years table scape here.
And now I am sharing what everyone is waiting for. The giveaway winners for:
– the pink plaid blanket scarf – Colleen B.
– the statement earrings – Jasmin F.
– the Yankee Candle in Holiday Sage – Jasmin F.
Congratulations. Be sure to check your mails as I am going to write you for further details.
Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

10 Days of Christmas Giveaways – Day 7 – the business girl…

Good morning friends,
(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)
who doesn´t know the pain of getting ready and out of the house on time every morning. There are days where nothing works or nothing fits or everything takes too long and again you are running late. There is only so much you can prepare the evening before to save steps and save time but also this is limited.
One thing I really like to have on hand no matter where I go is coffee. Isn´t the world a much nicer place with a cup of hot and fresh coffee in you hand. You get me right?!

So whether you are going to work by car or the public transportation, a thermal coffee mug is always right on place. You have your coffee with you it immensly helps to look over some things. But why a making coffee at home and take a mug with you. So here are 6 reasons why you should consider on using a thermal coffee mug and brewing your coffee at home:

– not waisting time waiting at a coffee shop
– not spending to much money on a cup of coffee
– carrying around a chic and sophisticated coffee mug
– not spilling your coffee over your jacket or handbag (who isn´t familiar with that)
– reducing trash by using a reusable mug
– coffee stays hot much longer
 For all of the reasons I am giving away one Emsa thermal coffee mug in a beautiful snow white shade to one lucky reader.
Be sure to enter my giveaway below. 
Thanks for stopping by. Take care.

Christmas PJ´s and Netflix Christmas movie guide…

Keine Kommentare

….
Hello guys, 
(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)
sorry for posting so late today but I we have scheduled four appointments for today and are only through half of them so I have been running around all day today to get everything ready. About two weeks ago our Christmas pj´s have arrived. I have ordered them prom PatPat this year and almost couldn´t decide which ones to take (these where also a favorite). Shipping only took about 10 days which is fine cause I have ordered them some weeks upfront. Our model is called the Red Snowflake Family Christmas Pajamas. We sized up one size each cause I wanted them to fit as I can´t return them and also a pajama has to be comfortable.

 So since I have such packed days until the middle of December I love to cuddle up in my pj´s at night and watch a cheesey Christmas movie. These are the movies I have watched so far.

The Spirit of Christmas //
A lawyer travels to Vermont to broker the sale of an inn and learns that
it is haunted by a man who cannot move on until the mystery of his
death is solved. Determined to help the charming spirit, she finds
herself in an unlikely romance with him.

A Christmas Wish // A woman and her children are left homeless when her husband leaves
with all their money. She gets a job as a waitress in a small town
diner and discovers the kind locals are on hand to help her through the
difficult times.

A Dogwalkers Christmas Tale // A spoiled college student walks a developer’s dog and is delighted
when she sees he plans to build a salon over a nearby dog park. When
she meets a handsome dog walker at the park, she tries to put aside her
selfish ways to help him save the park.

Christmas with the Kranks //
Finally alone for the holidays, Luther and Nora Krank plan to eschew the Christmas traditions and take a
cruise in the Caribbean instead. This doesn’t sit well with their
Christmas-obsessed neighbors Vic Frohmeyer (Dan Aykroyd) and Walt Scheel
(M. Emmet Walsh), who are determined to win the
annual “best decorated street” competition, and the Kranks soon find
themselves social outcasts because of their lack of Christmas spirit.


A Christmas Prince //
Christmas comes early for an aspiring young journalist when she’s
sent abroad to get the scoop on a dashing prince who’s poised to be king.

A Christmas Prince – The Royal Wedding //
A year after Amber helped Richard secure the crown, the two are
set to tie the knot in a royal Christmas wedding – but their plans are
jeopardized when Amber finds herself second-guessing whether or not
she’s cut out to be queen.

Merry Kissmas //
After her relationship from a controlling choreographer, a young
woman happens to fall for a handsome man, Sebastian, with whom she
shares a kiss. When the choreographer begins to make nice, she is torn
between which man she really loves.

Christmas with a View //
A ski resort is buzzing when a celebrity chef is named the new
head chef. Clara isn’t excited about her new boss, but with their paths
constantly crossing, Clara realises that they have more in common than
they first thought.

The Holiday Calendar //
A photographer inherits an antique Advent calendar that seems to predict her future — including a budding romance.

Christmas Inheritance // Before ambitious heiress Ellen Langford can inherit her father’s
business, she must deliver a special Christmas card to her dad’s former
partner in Snow Falls. When a snowstorm strands her at the town inn, she
discovers the true gift of Christmas.

A Wish for Christmas // Sara prefers to be on the sidelines at work until someone steals
her big idea for a Christmas initiative. She makes a wish to Santa to
gain the courage to stand up for herself, and he gives her 48 hours to
discover how to speak her own mind.

Christmas Wedding Planner //
A wedding planner is in the midst of planning her cousin’s lavish
and exclusive wedding when a devilishly handsome private investigator
turns her world upside down.

The Princess Switch //
One week before Christmas, a duchess switches places with an
ordinary woman from Chicago, who looks exactly like her, and they each
fall in love with each other’s beaus.

You can´t fight Christmas //
Edmund is all business and dislikes the Christmas season until a
cheerful decorator helps him fall in love with the holiday, and her.

Miss me this Christmas //
Regina and Franklin decide to divorce at Thanksgiving. As
Christmas approaches, Regina stays in the same hotel where they got
married. She starts a whirlwind romance with Ulysses as she tries to
rationalize that her marriage may be over. 

The Christmas Chronicles //
 Siblings Kate and Teddy Pierce hatch a scheme to capture Santa
Claus on Christmas Eve. When the plan goes awry, the kids join forces
with a somewhat jolly Saint Nick and his loyal elves to save the holiday
before it’s too late.


Oh boy – these are a lot. Didn´t know about the total number but here it is. I have watched 16 Christmas movies in four weeks. That´s still okay ? I mean it isn´t too obsessive, right ?!

Anyways my absolute favorites are Christmas with the Kranks, Christmas Inheritance, The Spirit of Christmas, A Christmas Prince and part 2 and the Holiday Calendar.

But overall they are all super festive movies with lots of Christmas spirit, decor and snow and totally get you in the right mood for the season. Although some of them are really cheesy and (as Florian says) totally predictable I love watching these at this time time of the year.


I would love to hear about your favorites and maybe you have seen I few I didn´t. 

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.
