Holidays

We had wonderful Christmas and New Year celebration, even if we both have been ill. We blaming this stormy, rainy weather, it's too warm and wet for this time of the year, a bit of frost wouldn't be bad. We had loads of lazy days having late movie nights, sleeping in and having way too much delicious snacking going on. I cooked (just like my mom Latvian food)and bought way too much for Christmas. For New Year I cooked less and we had too much sweets left from Christmas. Sadly there is still gifts under the tree waiting, we didn't had a chance to visit all friends as we wanted, since we both was coughing and sneezing. We didn't thought it would be good idea if there was kids and one of our friend is expecting, but I'm sure we'll visit them as soon as we get better.  I hope you all had a wonderful holiday!

Holiday Gift Guide For Her Under €25

It's crazy, it's just 4 weeks till Christmas! I love to see on Instagram all those beautiful snowy photos, there's little chance that we'll get some snow in Ireland, even if some mornings temperature have dropped. Maybe that's the reason why I don't have yet that festive feeling and I haven't done all Christmas gift shopping. Well I have been very busy working on Strike a Pose Jewelry pieces and attending Craft Fairs so it's all about lack of time. I wish I had bigger budget to get to my girlies gorgeous designer bags and fabulous holidays, but even little something is lovely to receive and give. I think accessories is always good idea, they usually can be found at a good price and there's never such a thing as too much accessories. Winter is long so hats, scarfs, glows and mittens are always good to have to play creating different looks. There are so many beauty products, that we wouldn't have enough our lifetime to buy and try them all, so get it as a gift helps to explore and find new favorites. Books, may they be some pretty coffee table or good entertainment they all great. I think this year there have been lots of buzz about coloring in books. Why not to get some fashion. Hope I helped you , even just a little bit. Have great Holiday gift shopping!

Before Holidays

 Set of pretty cards which I picked up few weeks ago. Even they are not Christmas cards yet they will be great next year. And I have soft spot for stationery.

First wrapped gifts, already  with few others on the way to Latvia. Maybe already there.

These Christmas stockings years ago I picked up in shop. Plain and simple and I had a chance to have some fun with them and I added some sequins.

Tigra is the biggest helper when I'm doing something. This time she was making with me some Christmas decorations :)

I love scent of Christmas tree and this Mistletoe and Ivy candle from Izzy has perfect real Christmas tree scent. Nothing overpowering as it would be with other known brand candles, just lovely, natural scent. It's made from 100% natural soy wax, much better for both yourself and the environment.

My friends have a wonderful weekend before Holidays!

Peace, joy and ♥
