2015 favorites

With 2015 coming to an end, I wanted to write a post with all the things I've discovered (or rediscovered) this year and that I have been loving. They are all quite random and different from one another but I hope it will help you discover new amazing things too!

Merry Christmas

Christmas Day is already here and I really wanted to wish all of they the merriest Christmas of them all. I hope you're having the best day you could possibly have with to your family and loved ones. I wish you all the happiness in this world and that all your wishes come true!

I am so thankful for everybody who has visited this blog this year, for every comment I have received, and every e-mail you have written to me. Thank you for being part of this journey for another year.

I'm sending you all warm hugs (the kind of ones Olaf likes).

Merry Christmas!

Blogmas Overview

Just when November was coming to an end, I got asked by some fellow bloggers if I was going to do Blogmas. And believe it or not, I had no idea what Blogmas was. For those of you who may not know what it is either, it's basically posting every day of December until Christmas Day. My first thought was "what!? a post every day!? I struggle to post one every week!" but then I kept having second thoughts and I eventually decided to give it a try!

Easy Reindeer Nails

After this whole month of Christmas posts, you have probably realized this: I am obsessed with Christmas. I want my outfits to be as Christmassy as possible, my room decorations, my hair, my makeup, my everything! And even though red will always be my go-to nail color during Christmas, I do like to make them a bit more Christmassy. And this year I have been absolutely obsessed with reindeer (they're so cute!) so I chose them for my nails too.

Gift wrapping ideas (that I borrowed from Pinterest)

With Christmas day just around the corner, it's time to start getting those presents ready to be placed under the tree! A pretty wrapping immediately makes me excited about what might be inside. So I've been searching Pinterest for gift wrapping ideas that I thought you would like!

DIY Bow gift box

Do you ever go to a store and see something you'd like and think to yourself "mmm... I think I could make that myself"? Well, you're welcome! Because this is one of those things I'm saving you from spending your money on a store, because, guess what? Yeah! You can actually do it yourself! (And I'm sorry for the store that gave me the idea, because I actually like it quite a lot)

Madrid during Christmas

It's funny. I would love to move to another country and I complain a lot about it, but I actually love my city. And even though Christmas here doesn't look as pretty as it did other years, there is something about Christmas in Madrid. So since I always show you the places I travel to, today I'm showing you the place where I live. And during the best season of them all: Christmas!

DIY Card Display

It is no secret that I love receiving cards and letters. I even keep every single one of them that I have ever received! I had some leftover ornaments from my ornamental Christmas heart, so I came up with this idea of what to do with them! It's very simple and I think it looks really cute, so I hope you'll like it!

Christmas music

I la-la-love Christmas music! I have to hold myself back from listening to Christmas songs during the summer, because, trust me, I'd listen to them if I could! So as soon as Halloween is over, I start preparing my playlist for the seasons. And these are the songs I've been listening to this year!

Little cookie houses

These are some little cookie houses that I made with my favorite little person (i.e. my three-year-old cousin). They're seriously the easiest to make and she was so wowed by them but I thought I'd show you what we'd done.

10 things to do this Christmas

If someone knows how to plan a date, that's definitely Buddy, from Elf (the movie). I love everything about Christmas, including Christmas activities! And it doesn't feel like Christmas until I cross out all of these things in my to-do list.

Nutella Christmas Tree

I love Nutella. (Although who doesn't love Nutella?) And I love Christmas. So what can be better than putting the two of them together into a Christmas tree that you can eat and tastes like Nutella?

Christmas Wallpapers

I've been trying not to brag about this too much but... I've got a new phone! And I'm soooo excited about it and in love with it! And of course, I've been obsessed with making it perfect lately: finding the perfect case, the perfect wallpaper... And because I love Christmas, I did look for Christmas wallpapers, and these are some lovely ones that I found and you can use too!

Our Christmas Tree

We have a little tradition in our family and always wait until December 6th to set up the Christmas tree. My sister was totally against it but I convinced them to allow me to set it up on December 1st, because I wanted it there for my birthday!

Sandwhich Sushi

Let's face it: what is easier to make than a sandwich? But sandwiches are not a very fancy meal. Well, this will take your sandwiches to the next level. Oh, and if you have a little kid in your life who gets jealous every time adults are eating actual sushi (like my little cousin does), I think this is the perfect solution!

My birthday gifts

It was my birthday yesterday and for me, that's the best day in the entire year! I was so happy yesterday that you would think it was the first time that I was having a birthday.

2 DIY Envelopes (+ some decoration ideas!)

I love sending out Christmas cards (and receiving them, but that never happens...). Most people send their cards in the beginning of December, so for those of you who are planning to send out some, I have some DIY envelope tutorials for you and some ideas for decorating them!

The ghost of Christmas past posts

I love Christmas (but you know that) and I love blogging. So what can be better than blogging about Christmas? Today I am going to share with you five Christmas posts I published in the past

Decorating my room for Christmas

It's December! Yay! My favorite month of the year! Because 1) it's cold, 2) it's my birthday, and 3) it's Christmas. And let me tell you, I'm ready for all three of them! My Christmas decorations are out and this is what my room looks like now!
