A day in the woods

Yesterday my bf,  his family and I went to my dad in law's forrest/wood (what is the right term guys?), to pick a christmas tree.

The first question I got was... What kind of tree do you want? my thoughts were ehm a green one lol, but instead I just said a chubby one. I ain't supermodel size so why should my tree be... I wanted a cute little chubby one =D

Anyways here is a couple of pictures from my day

That is our tree =D

My man with our tree and with the very handsome dog Ricki

My dad in laws christmas tree plantage... so cute and look how small they are

And the boss is at work lol

My handsome guy is getting attacked by Ricki and Sam.. they want to be petted 

How beautiful is this =D

My family in law 

Oh and when we were walking around in the forrest it started to snow, how christmassy is that =D

It was a perfect day that went by too fast

So what do you guys have... a fake tree or a real tree?

Hope your weekend was good

Traditions....

I have to apologize for the huge overload of christmas stuff I've been blogging about, but I promise it will stop in january lol

While I was at work I got to think about christmas tradition and got curious about how you guys spend christmas, and thought I would share my christmas traditions with you guys.

Well first off I am gonna answer the BIG question: Yes we open presents on christmas eve, most danish people do that.

First of I start the morning of with some good breakfast, then its of to walk around the city either with my cousin and this time coming it will be with my boyfriend. I know it sounds stupid but I really like walking around seeing and hearing how quiet it is, cause normally there is A LOT of people

(btw yes it is a summertime pic, but it is just to demonstrate lol)

Then when I get home it is time for a bit of tea (im not a BIG coffee drinker) and some christmas goodies that we have made

(I borrowed these pics from google since I don't have pictures of our home baking)

Then the most important thing (according to me) its time to watch Disney's Christmas show.

I've been watching it every year since I was a baby - and it is just not christmas without it

Then I go help mom in the kitchen, or at least try to help lol

Then its food time - this is what is typically on a danish christmas table (or at least the people I know)

then you end it all of with this kind of rice porridge or some other type of it where you are suppost to find an almond. the one that finds the whole almond wins a present... there is small chopped almond pieces in it just to make it harder to find it lol

After the food I usually help my mom with the dishwashing and then its time to dance around the christmas tree

And then FINALLY (for some lol) it is time for the presents. If there are small kids attending they usually get ONE present before we eat... we are not mean like that haha

After that we watch some tv and talk :)

sometimes If we are a bit more than the nearest family we will not give presents to the grown ups, but then we will play a christmas package game, where you buy really funny crappy gifts and play for them, and then when all the gift are taken its time to "steal" from each other until the time is up =)

So how do you guys spend christmas? 

Many christmas hugs

Wishlist wednesday #9

Here is to another wishlist wednesday, maybe this will even give you guys ideas what to wish for christmas

1. Spinning jewelry - birthstone (my month is july) 

You can combine it with two other rings :)

This is what there is said about the july birthstone.

Like a perfect red rose, the Ruby's rich color speaks of love and passion.  Called the "Rajnapura" or King of Gems by ancient Hindus, July's birthstone is among the most highly prized of gems throughout history. The Ruby was considered to have magical powers, and was worn by royalty as a talisman against evil.  It was thought to grow darker when peril was imminent, and to return to its original color once danger was past—provided it was in the hands of its rightful owner! 

Rubies were thought to represent heat and power.  Ancient tribes used the gem as bullets for blowguns, and it was said that a pot of water would boil instantly if a Ruby was tossed into it.  Ground to powder and placed on the tongue, this crystal was used as a cure for indigestion. 

The word Ruby comes from the Latin "ruber," meaning red.  It is a variety of the mineral Corundum, and is found as crystals within metamorphic rock.  Corundum is the second hardest mineral, after Diamond.  It comes in a variety of colors, and is considered a Sapphire in any color except red, which is designated as a Ruby.  Rubies range in hue from an orangey red to a purplish red, but the most prized gems are a true red in color.  Large sized Rubies are very rare and valuable. 

The history of Ruby mining dates back more than 2,500 years ago.  The most beautiful crystals are thought to be from Burma, but quality Rubies are also found in India, Sri Lanka, Australia, Kenya, Tanzania, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the United States. 

It has been said that the Ruby's red glow comes from an internal flame that cannot be extinguished, making a gift of this stone symbolic of everlasting love.  With its hardness and durability, it is a perfect engagement gem.  And if worn on the left hand, ancient lore has it that the Ruby will bring good fortune to its wearer, too!

Review: Lancôme Bi-facil eye make-up remover

Bi-facil is an award winning make-up remover, that gently wipes away your makeup without having troubles rubbing it in and off. You simply shake the bi-facil to activate the bi-phase formular and off you go, it even removes waterproof mascara good.

A test sample I was given a while back

Me with makeup on. It was a holiday party look and yes I slept in it... bad I know, but to make some kind of excuse I got home late, was a wee bit tipsy and yeah....

The makeup was actually a lot heavier looking than I could capture on the picture

a little Bi-facil goes a long way... that was one eye

Me without make up in the early morning lol

Would I recommend this product? YES! I know its a bit pricey but it really does work, and I know I will be buying it soon. 

The thing I like about this product is that it is so gentle to sensitive skin, and trust me mine is, and before you know it you are pretty much done getting all that makeup off.
