Good morning friends,
(Post contains affiliate links/Post enthält Affiliate LInks/Werbung/Markennennung-not sponsored)
who doesn´t love to cuddle up on the sofa with a hot beverage and watch Christmas movies during the advent time? I know none.
My absolute favorite Christmas movie this year is Christmas with The Kranks. I have already seen it three times and it is hilarious each and every time but also touching. I really like a good mixture in a Christmas movie. And I love Tim Allen. I watchend evey episode of Home Improvement.
So since normal blankets always tend to have a spot where the cold comes in, a mermaid blanket (got this one for Christmas last year from my SIL) goes around yourself and also covers your feet so you don´t freeze. I think the concept is great and it is looking really funny and cool somehow. I like it a lot (and Chloe always tries to sneak in). 

So for today´s #10daysofchristmas giveaway and because the temperatures dropped so much I am giving away a cozy mermaid blanket in a beautiful blue color.  


I still have 4 giveaways left so be sure to check back every day and then we are running on normal schedule again. I have planned two huge gift guides to give you some gifting inspo as well as and also this years table scapes from our holiday party and for our Christmas dinner and two traditional recipes you could even use for Christmas dinner.


Be sure to enter below and good luck.

10 Days of Christmas Giveaways – Day 5 – Hot Chocolate Station + Anthropologie mug…

Good morning you all,
(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)
who doesn´t love a cup of hot chocolate am I right??
There is almost nothing better for the cold and frosty Christmas/winter time than a hot cup of cocoa with a little whip of heavy cream, marshmallows and some colorful sprinkles (definitely no diet drink). 

I for myself love a big cup of white hot chocolate over a dark at any time. So for our hot chocolate at home we don´t use powder, we melt real chocolate chips and stir them into hot milk. Afterwards you can add whatever you like.

Ingredients:
– white chocolate chips (I get them in small batches from amazon)
– oat milk (you can use any milk you like)

– heavy cream
– mini marshmallows
– Christmas sprinkles

Enjoying your hot chocolate at home just screams something so cozy and comfortable. I wish I could do this everyday but work and calories cross my way. But why not invite your bestie to a cup of hot chocolate and a cheesy Christmas movie. This would be such a nice gesture and also a lot of fun.

Since I have found this Anthropologie mug with my monogram during our London trip last year I have used it quite over a hundred times. This is the perfect addition to your cupboard to have coffee, tea or hot chocolate with. That is why I am giving away one Anthropologie mug to one happy reader. Since mine isn´t available anymore I am giving away one of these beautiful tile inspired mugs with your personal monogram. 

Be sure to enter the giveaway below and also add which monogram you would like to have.

Thanks for stopping by and good luck.

10 Days of Christmas Giveaways – Day 4 – Christmas Red…

Good morning guys

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

and welcome to our fourth day of Christmas Giveaways.

By reading my blog you might have recognized that I am a huge lover of a classic red lip whether it is Christmas time or not (but even more around the holidays). I do have lots of different shades from bright coral reds to dark burdundy shades and love them through and through but there is only one perfect holiday red for me and I found it at the NYX beauty counter.

The NYX Matte lipstick series is right up my alley. Super matte, smooth to apply, don´t dry out my lips and all the colors are highly pigmented.

So that you can also enjoy your Christmas time with the perfect red lips I am giving away two sets including a NYX Matte red lipstick in the color Perfect Red and a NYX Suede Matte lipliner in color Spicy. 
  A red lip is a beauty staple and a classic and works whether you are wearing an evening gown or jeans/t-shirt combination.

Be sure to enter below to get yours. 

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

10 Days of Christmas Giveaways – Day 3 – Our Christmas Decoration – closed…

2 Kommentare

Hello guys,

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

and happy Monday. I know I know Monday´s aren´t usually our favorite days but I have a little something to sweeten up your day.


And I might say this every year but our Christmas decor has never been prettier than this year. I have tried some different things and also decorated a few more areas than last year and in my opinion it turned out even more beautiful than I thought. I am going to break it down room by room so it will be easier to follow.

Family room:
Of course our family room is the most used place in the whole house so this is where most of the magic happens. I do have a different color theme every year and usually I am not straying far aside from the classics but I have gone wild this year and went with a totally fashionable Christmas tree in pink and black. Yes you hear that right but if you are a regular reader you already read my Christmas tree decoration post last week and are no further surprised.


Anther corner in our family room I enjoy decorating is our coffee table / tv area. We do have quite the space to put lots of decor so why not use it for the most wonderful time of the year. I went with the lighter pink version of the ornaments and created a little winter wood theme. With lots of different trees and deers. The gingham table runner is one of my favorites for this year since it has my most favorite pattern but also includes a Christmas embroidery on both sides. I also always keep our  advent wreath with the candles on our coffee table. Evey Sunday starting the 2nd of December there is going to be lit one candle and after the 4th Christmas is here. 


Kitchen:
I haven´t had this much decor in our kitchen the years before. I always decorated the windowsill with lots of Christmas decor and candles but that was pretty it. This year I added christmassy kitchen towels and a bunch of poinsettias to my kitchen. I also reused the branches with berries and the red ribbons from two years ago for our bar stools. Absolutely love how our kitchen turned out and since most of our kitchen appliances are red I went with the classic Christmas Red pieces all over.


Entryway:
The entryway wasn´t such a welcoming space when we moved in but after some time and a lot of furniture changes it became really welcoming so since all of our guests will at first be in the entryway I decided to create a warm and welcoming space and what better could be for it than a candle. A candle, not only with its enjoyable light, but also with its smell is the perfect addition to any entryway. You can choose the scent you like your house to smell and even when you are not lighting it, it is a pretty piece of decoration. I personally love Yankee Candles. They are my favorite and they have the best scents for Christmastime. So for today´s giveaway I am giving away one large jar from Yankee Candle in the scent Holiday Sage. This is my favorite holiday scent ever and I hope it is going to be yours too very soon.


Another great addition to your entryway (if you are living in a house) is a handrail wrapped with garlands. I got mine about three weeks ago and his was probably the most work on decorating. I incorporated string lights and little ornaments and also got single red glass elements to add to the garlands. 


I was thinking about decorating our bedroom too but ended up ditching that idea since we are only up there for sleeping and it wouldn´t be worth the work and the money either.


Have you already decorated your home for Christmas? I would love to hear more about it and be sure to enter my giveaway below. It is open until the 10th of December.
