After we went to France to da some last minute CHristmas shopping we went to the Seepark in Freiburg to take some pictures :3
Have a nice day...I have to go to work again tomorrow...don't want to (even though it is only for one day xD)
Well, the new year is already 2 years old and I still didn't come around doing a Christmas haul post xD Still I want to show you what I got during Christmas...I even bought it myself or got it as a present. Also I don't want to brag or anything I just like reading/watching Christmas hauls myself so I thought it might also be interesting for you :)
So, Christmas is over, the year 2013 is also nearing its end and I am relieved that this year comes to a close...as for Christmas I am sad that it is over but somewhat I wanted it to last longer *hahaha* As always we ate a lot, watched many fairytales and ate even more xD Of course we also had our traditional walk on the 25th...only thing that was (and still is) missing is snow T^T Hell, we had around 10 °C all the time...*fuuuuuu* What did you do during Christmas? Could you spend the time with your loved ones? Did you have to work? Were you travelling? :3 Here are some impressions of my Christmas <3
Angels everywhere <3 I am really proud to call the Ore Mountains my home as Christmas in this region is really special in my opinion...it really turns into a fairytale world than...well, even more than usual xD
OMG~ tomorrow it is finally Christmas and after 8 hours in the train I finally reached my parents place. Why do we live so far apart? *sighs* Well, anyways, here are the 7 great things that happened last week :3
1. We had over 200 Lolita Valentines this week <3 SO AWESOME!
2. ...and I also received one *O* Thank you so so so much <3 <3 <3
3. Had an awesome Christmas Meet-Up with my girls from Stuttgart *_* It was sooooo much fun and everyone looked so beautiful <3
Somehow we look like deer caught in headlight but somehow I really like that pic <3
4. Got an awesome present from my dear Nezumi <3 Thank you so much my dear *_*
5. Finished reading The Hunger Games - Mockingjay...and the end was really great and fitting for the series :3
6. Made a 2nd Christmas Headdress for Nezumi and I think my skills are improving pretty much...I didn`t brn myself as much this time around *haha* really love doing this kind of creative stuff ^^
7. Started getting Acupuncture for my back pain and it really helps *yay* Finally some help for my back *wohoooo*
How was your week? Did you get everything reday for Christmas already? I still need to pack some presents...and of course tomorrow we will decorate the Christmas tree :3
Oh, I nearly forgot to publicly announce the giveaway winner *ahahaha*
Due to work and the overall stress before Christmas it took me pretty long to get in the Christmas mood ^^" Last weekend the spirit finally hit me when we went to the Christmas Market in Esslingen and so I thought I could also finally do a Christmas post with asking you some questions? I will answer them myself too, of course ;)
How do you celebrate Christmas? Do you have any special traditions?
We have loads of them that never change *hahaha* On the 22nd or 23rd the Christmas Tree will be decorated and we prepare plates of sweets for everyone. We also watch fairytales the whole time. On the 24th we have a special Christmas Dinner with Linsen and Bratwurst as it is a traditional meal in the Ore Mountains...it is supposed to give you riches in the following year. The 25th and 26th mainly consist of eating xD
What do you love most about Christmas?
I love getting presents but for me the greatest thing is to finally see my family again and to see their happy faces while unwrapping the gifts I selected for them ^o^ Just spending time with my loved ones is the greatest thing at Christmas :3
Do you decorate your home for Christmas?
I do *points down* ;)
Gingerbreadhouse of doom...it was my first try and it looks more like a shack but well...I kinda like it so I use it as decoration XD
I have this snowman since like forever...you can put incense inside and he starts to smoke his pipe :3 And of course the nutcracker belongs to Christmas as well ^o^
Not in my room but I love pyramids like that...they remind me of home *_*
Do you have a favourite Christmas movie?
Mine would definitely be "3 Hazelnuts for Cinderella" - I watch it every year and still love it to death *_*
And last but not least - a non Christmas song that reminds you of Christmas? Why?
For me it is "Key of the Twilight" from .hack/sign by Kajiura Yuki. In Japan I heard it all time during Christmas and while burning incense cones and eating the Christmas Cake my mother send me. In my mind it is connected to Christmas forever :)
Maybe some of you will answer my questions and also post about them :)
Last weekend I went to visit Nezumi for the first time at her home to bake some christmas cookies and, boy, was it an odyssey to get to her place. Even though she is only living aroun 40 km away I had to travel nearly 2 hours by bus/train @@ And I was really affraid that I would land somewhere totally different but none of thart happened, I reached Nezumi in one place and could help with the baking...well, at least I tried x"D As I don't have an oven at my place I can't bake that often and thus I am not to great at it *hahaha* I still hope that I was helpful...at least I could mix or cut the ingredients *hahaha* ^^"
Don't they look delicious? *om nom nom* I made Vanillekipferl in the past already but everytime I forget how annoying it is to put the suger on them...so many of them broke T^T
Well, for me every year the Christmas time starts on the 27th November because it is my dads birthday and as a tradition since I can think every year the first Christmas decorations are put up on that day...unfortunately I don't live near my parents anymore but I will keep this tradition up forever. And what better way to start into Christmas with some gingerbread, hot chai and a pretty LE from Essence :3 Actually I only wanted to buy the snow flake topper but in the end I nearly paid 20 EUR for all the stuff I got *ahahaha*
All colour^3 nailpolish, snow flake topper, eyeshadow and glittery lashes :3
So much for only buying the snowflake topper *haha*
I still have to sort out all the pictures from the Innocent World Teaparty and my weekend in Vienna so my report about that still has to wait. To bridge the time until than I want to show you the newest print from BTSSB.
The print shows a winter wonderland with a Christmasmarket and many people strolling around. The scenery reminds me of Chrsimas stories and fairytales. I can't wait for Christmastime to start *_* Love that print~
The first working week of the new year is over and I finally got some time on my hands to update again *yay* I hope your year started great :)
This time I want to show you what I got myself for my Christmasmoney when I went shopping with a dear friend from highschool...yep, I already know her since 15 years now XD But as we are living pretty far from each other for a very long time now we don't get to see each other a lot so every time we do meet, we have a lot to talk about. So other than shopping and talking we didn't do that much *hahaha*
Here is what I got:
I needed some new fragrances and got myself Beyonce Heat Rush and Pulse. If you like sweeter warm scents these are exactly the scents for you...I love them and they were 13EUR each so the price is awesome as well ^^b
Christmas is nearly over and I wanted to give you some impressions of what I did during the last days. Unfortunately it didn't snow and the temperatures are really "tropical" compared to what I am used to in winter.
Our cute little Christmastree with all the presents...unfortunately they weren't all mine *joking*
Presents <3 My brother got me Kingdom Hearts 358/2 days...I can finally play it *hahaha* I also got one of my favourite scents from Bath and Bodyworks as fragrance mist from my parents - it is called Warm Vanilla Sugar and it smells so delicious. Of course I also got loads of sweets and chocolate and really delicious wine from my grandfather :)
But the most awesome thing you can see below *points down*
A snuggle blanket from Sheepworld - it is so fluffy and cuddly and just downright pure awesomeness <3 <3 <3
This is the motive of the blanket <3 It says "I am an angel...but I can be different!"
My Christmas Outfit :) I decided to wear my Paris Window JSK as it has Angels on it and I think this is a rather christmassy theme :)
My mom and I also went for a little walk and I wanted to see the illuminated christmas decoration in our village but unfortunately the lights weren't lit on Christmas Eve...and that is really sad T^T
And some other outfits I wore during the last days...I love my bear hoodie <3 It is so fluffy and comfy and cute <3 I bought it at a store called New Look~
Village taken out of a fairytale...even without snow it is beautiful :)
It is finally Christmas Eve today *yay* This year went by so fast and so so so many things happened that it really seems unreal ^^" I need to make a post about all the great things that happened this year soon *hahaha* But now is not the time for that, for now I just want to say...
Hope you have an awesome Christmas with your dear ones :)
My day really started great *points down* and I think it will get even better...celebrating Christmas with the family is the best :)
T^T Thank you so much for that Valentine, I seriousaly am moved to tears right now <3 <3 <3 Best start of Christmas Day someone can get :)
I am finally at my parents place *yay* Yesterday I had to sit in the train for 8 hours @_@ But for celebrating Christmas with my family I would drive 12 hours to be honest :) So happy to visit my family again after 3 months *yay*
But I am not here to talk about my trip home, yet ;) I want to show you some presents I already got from my friends <3 <3 <3 Here you go~
Two pairs of awesome Earrings from my Secret Santa, that was not that secret *hahaha* Thanks to Emilielynn and of course my cute Vanilla <3 <3 <3 You both are the best *hugs*
Also got a matching mint nail polish. It is from the P2 Color Victim series and called "Who cares?"...I really like the P2 nailpolishes as they are really opaque and longlasting ^^b
Koo-chan gave me this awesome eyeshadow from the Essence LE Fantasia in "Not Ivory but Ebony" and this delicious looking essence nailpolish in "Cookie Love" :3 When it comes to drugstore make-up I think my favourite brand must be essence *hahaha* They have really great products ^^b
And I also got myself some small things:
P2 Eye Dream eyeshadow in"happy day time" and *tadaaaa* your eyes don't play tricks on you, the Zuckerschnute Lipbalm from Balea...now I have everything *har har har* I absolutely love that scent *O*
I can't wait for it to be Christmas Eve~ Celebrating with the family and delicious food <3 <3 <3
What are you doing for Christmas? Do you have some special traditions?
