Hi guys,

I know that Christmas time puts a lot of pressure on each and every one of us. There is the decoration we have to set up, gifts we need to find, there are family or holiday parties to host and menues to plan and don´t forget to send out the Christmas cards in time!!
 Thinking of all these different things might be overwhelming at first but you have to tackle it piece by piece and for the time in between I have 4 tips/activites to lower your stress levels and give you the possibilitiy to really enjoy the most wonderful time of the year.

#1
Grab a cup of hot cocoa, head to your sofa and turn on Netflix. They have so many Christmas movies on their channel. You will get in the festive mood believe me and it is also nice to cuddle up while it´s cold outside.
My favorites are:

A Christmas Prince
The Spirit of Christmas
The Grinch
A Christmas Kiss
Merry Kissmas
The Nightmare before Christmas
Miracle on 34th Street


#2
Be sure to create your own and unique Christmas playslist. Listening to your favorite Christmas songs whenever you like really is a nice change to the normal radio (in my opinion they chat to much and always play the same songs). You can listen to your playlist while driving in the car, wrapping presents or cooking and cleaning at home.
Be sure to check out my playlist for some inspo.

                                                                    

#3
Bake the Christmas cookies YOU love the most. As a woman we always try to please others and care about others more than about ourself. That´s just how it works but sometimes there is something you have to do for your own especially in stressful times. Search the recipe you love the most and start baking and if these are some your family members or room mates don´t like – good for you, so there is even more left.
Here is my favorite recipe. They are called snowflake cookies and super delicious. 

#4
Visit Christmas markets
The Christmas markets are everywhere these days so it is nice to spend an afternoon or an evening strolling around. Having some punch and some delicious food. Maybe you can find a last minute gift at the booths with all the pretty handmade things like wooden figurines or handcolored candles. 


It is good to unwind before the big day hits. 


We are going to visit a Christmas market on Sunday and I am also going to bake my favorite Christmas cookies tomorrow listening to my Christmas playlist. 

Do you have any other tips to lay back before the stressful three days of Christmas?

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Baby it´s cold outside – the perfect cozy sweaters from Zaful….


Hi guys,

Christmas time is finally here which means lots of snow and sparkling lights. And as pretty the snow is, it is super cold if you are spending more time outside.
So for today´s post I have teamed up with Zaful to share my favorite sweaters to keep you warm from their site. Comfy and cozy and stylish and warm right?! I especially love the cable knit pattern shoulder drop sweater in off white. In my opinion you can never go wrong with a white cable knit sweater. It just matches with so many things and is so versatile that it make the perfect winter staple piece.
They have such a variety on different sweaters for the colder days it is unbelievable. Also they are pretty affordable and shipping goes fast but be sure to check the size guide since some of the pieces run small. 

Are you guys already forearmed for the cold Winter? With these sweaters you sure will be.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Take care. 

Thanks to Zaful for sponsoring today´s post. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Holiday look – white music notes skirt, red and bows….

Hi guys,

isn´t red the perfect color for Christmas? I think so – maybe have mentioned this earlier but it is still the truth.

 A pair of fancy shoes is also a must have for the holiday season. Whether they are golden, have sparkles all over or do have a big bow. I choose the big bow for this season (cause I also have all the other kinds). They are incredible cute and about 30€. If you order now by Choies you could get them in time for the holidays (they are also available in green and black).

Also a nice skirt is appropriate for Christmas. This a-line midi skirt from Zaful is such a beauty. It has music notes printed all over the skirt. The length is great and I love that it is high-waisted so you could easily tuck your shirt into it too.
To round up the look I paired a matching red sweater and a black clutch with a bow (never met a bow I didn´t like). Also the little earrings with a gift are perfect for the holidays and aren´t they just too cute?!

Do you have any holiday outfits planed already or are there any color combinations you would like to see ? Let me know. 

Have a nice Monday and thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

#maximaCOMEPASS #coloursoflife

Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
with today´s post I am taking place in a blogger competiton for the maxima Comepass Blogger Award 2018. The theme is “colours of life”! So what comes to my mind when I think about the sentence “colours of life”? Let´s see. I have always loved colours and also of course wearing colourful pieces, whether it is a bold red lipstick, a yellow blazer jacket, a pair of green pants or a neon colored handbag – I think you get the point by now, do you?
In my opinion colours are able to lift your mood immediately by looking at them so why not wearing pink on a Monday morning? If it makes you happy go for it. I also understand that in several offices bold colors aren´t appreciated as much as you would like to. But you can still incorporate little doses into your every day look by adding a pair of earrings or a slim belt or even a handbag in a colour you love. 
It is all about your own definiton of colours for life but life isn´t black and white and so shouldn´t be your closet. With that said I am wishing everyone a nice day (and let´s be honest, I am so happy the weekend is so close).
