Thank you Santa! ♡

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, I know I did! This Christmas was a lot more relaxed then the years before, I think with the years my family and I decided to take it rather slow with all the cooking and having a 'perfect' holiday. In my opinion that is a much better way because now we could solely enjoy the company of each other. I spent the Christmas day with my parents and at friends. It was really lovely we had good food, laughter and just a jolly time. This year I must have been a really nice girl because I got so many nice presents.

My presents: A new yoga mat, box of chocolate,  a book with 100 years of apparel ads, Nuxe Reve de Miel, slippers and an Ipad Air + Case

New cute Slippers from H&M, I get a pair every year, they are so cozy!

Delicious cake, cookies and chocolate! -Christmas tradition

The book that I got; so many beautiful old illustrated ads from the past. This book is so inspirational because in my opinion the fashion these days is always taking inspiration of the past

Finally got the Nuxe Reve de Miel, I've been sneaking around it for quiet a while and the smell is amazing

I was really surprised to receive this I think my parents gifted it with the intention to facilitate my university work


I'm so grateful for all my presents!

Home for the holidays

The perks of being at home: my mom always brings me tea and cookies while I'm watching a movie. The Holiday is by far one of my favorite movies it just instantly brings me into the christmasy mode. I love the old cottage in this movie, it looks so cozy and warm!

I'm home for the holiday season, and so far it has been incredible. Everything at home feels so christmasy and comfortable! I love that everyone is home and meeting my friends feels like nobody has ever left. Although the holidays so far has been pretty busy I still try to have some cozy nights at home with my parents. So here are a few photos from the first few days at home: 

I put some lights out at my balcony

My lounge wear: christmasy reindeer sweater, sweatpants and cozy socks

These finally came in the mail, I've ordered these ages ago and it was such a struggle to track them down. I was really disappointed with the service of Hqhair.com, I can't really recommend it

And here is a up close photo of the brushes; I bought the Core Collection Kit (Face), the Starter Set Kit (eyes) and the Blush brush and so far I'm really pleased with the quality of those brushes 

Baking cookies is one of my favorite things to do during Christmas

These are by far my favorite cookies and Christmas is such a good excuse to be munching these away ^.^

My mum is the sweetest, she always puts some decoration into my room hoping that I will like it

I've got these super cute new pajamas from my dad

Being at university in a different city makes me appreciate my home and my parents so much more!

Merry Christmas to everyone ♡♡

Christmas in munich

So december went by so fast, most of my time I spent studying and going to university, very uneventful unfortunately. Nonetheless december is actually one of my favorite months mostly because of Christmas. I love all the delicious Christmas food, thinking about suitable presents for my family and friends, the Christmas decoration... I could count numerous other things. Although I had to do a lot studying I did took some breaks and enjoyed the Christmas spirit in munich. I felt like I had to do some catching up with christmas because of the solely fact that didn't really celebrated it last year. (Because in China Christmas isn't as important as it is here). Munich has tons of different Christmas markets, there is one for every taste. You have the biggest traditional one at Marienplatz or a really authentic middle age christmas market near Odeonsplatz and so on. It is very worth checking out, so here are a few photos to give you a little impression of my december so far: 

The huge Christmas tree at Marienplatz

I went out and bought myself a Yankee Candle, I'm so in love with this scent and currently burning it!

Bought some gifts- this year I ordered most of my presents to avoid the stress in the shops

 

This was a little stand at the Christmas market in the Residenz, I loved all the pretty and very dainty christmas tree ornaments. I went there yesterday with a friend, nothing brings you more into the Christmas spirit than a cute Christmas market, we had some food and drank eggnog

Beautiful artwork made out of wood

The buildings along the Residenzstreet are all decorated with very lovely lighting- now I off to make some Christmas cookies whilst I listen to Michael Bubles Christmas album!
