Bye bye 2013, Hello 2014: My New Year's Resolutions

Sunday, December 29, 2013

Hey, lovely marshmellows. Each year, I don't take the time to make New Year's resolutions. This is the first time that I actually want to take the time to reflect on last year and make goals for the new one. I have a feeling 2014 is going to be amazing.

Nail of the Day: Christmas Eve Edition: Wrapped Gift

Tuesday, December 24, 2013

Hello everybody! I'm back today with a NOTD. This is an attempt to do nail art. I saw this design on Cutepolishes 'Ultimate Christmas Guide' video on youtube and I decided to try it. I tried and it didn't turn out that amazing, but I still wanted to share this with you guys. 



The Christmas Tag!

Hello, my lovely readers! A few days ago, I was reading 'The Christmas Tag' on Sanja's blog. I wanted to do a Christmas tag for days now and I realised I better hurry up because it IS almost Christmas. So here it is, let's get to the questions.



1. Do you prefer a real Christmas tree or synthetic?
At home, we always install a real Christmas tree, so that is what I prefer. It smells nice and it looks really beautiful. Synthetic trees can look good too, but personally, I prefer the real ones.


2. You're in a coffee shop, it's December, what do you pick?
I actually never pick anything special, I haven't tried anything Christmas-related in a coffee shop. I usually stick with a vanilla latte with skinned milk. 

Highlight of my Day: Free Essie Nail Polish With Elle Belgique!

Monday, December 23, 2013

Hello everyone! Today, I went shopping with a friend in Antwerp. In one of the train stations from Brussels, we went to get something to drink in a little shop. Next to the register was the new Elle Belgique, with a FREE Essie nail polish. Elle is available in Belgium in two languages: Dutch/Flemish and French. I don't think you get the nail polish with the Flemish version.

The polishes are from the Essie Winter 2013 Collection. In the shop, there were two colors available and I got them both because I couldn't choose (Yes, my name is Astrid and I'm a Polishaholic!). The colors are 'Warm&Cosy Turtleneck', a beautiful mauve/purple and 'Shearling Darling', a dark blood red color. I love them both so much! I feel like painting my nails this evening!

Elle Belgique is available for €3,90 at your local new paper shop. I'm not sure if this offer is available anywhere, but I hope it is!

What was the highlight of your day?
xx, 
Astrid
