Hey girls!! I added few more info in the post that I haven’t been able to add in the video!

New Year caught you unprepared? You are not the only one. Maybe you’ve had projects with short deadlines to finish until the end of the year, or didn’t have a plan on where to spend the New Year, or simply planning is not your thing. You realized it’s few days left and no time for you to book you hairstylist, make-up artist, or even buy a new dress.

Been there, done that, and I have few easy tips for you that you can apply on the last hundred of meters, in order to look stunning and sexy and beautiful in the night between the years. So don’t panic! We will fix it!

Get Ready!

Hands

First thing to do is to make sure your nails look good and clean, so if you didn’t succeed to book a time on the last minute to manicure, you’ll have to do it by yourself! I m ust mention, this is hard and it can get Dirty!

At least in my case, which is why I never make it by myself. If you are one of those lucky girls whose left hand can paint the right hand, go ahead and do it! If you aren’t, one fast option would be to use foil nail stickers, which you can buy from almost any beauty shop in your area. My New Year preference would be something glammy, but classy: Silver. Not bad would be also black matte and gold. Your choice!

The Dress

No worry, look again into your wardrobe, you sure have something over there that you haven’t been seen into. We all have an outfit that have been missed! If not, the easiest way to make yourself remarked, is by attracting people’s eyes from the dress to you. In this case, you should give value to the dress, and not opposite! My suggestion is that you use the outfit in which you feel at your best, of course, respecting the dress code of the party you attend. Or simply wear a very sexy black dress that you have in your garderobe. Pencil shaped dresses with stilettos rocks, don’t forget that! This way, you’ll feel self confident, sexy, beautiful and you’ll turn peoples eyes into you, not your clothes.

Tips: Add on accessories: an statement necklace can do as 10 new dresses, believe me!

Hair

Even if you are a brunette, or a blonde or a redhead, the most easy but glamourous trick for your hair is weavy hair. Or big curls. Every girl has to a have a curler or a straightener home, now it’s time for you to use it! Depending on how long or thick your hair is, curl only half of it, so that you create the volume effect but not look like grandma in the ’60. Don’t get me wrong, retro is chic and fashionable, but you’re not planing to go to a masquerade are you?

Face

Smokey eyes and nude lips are a perfect choice for an occasion like that, with a dress like that and a hair like that, but you can also chose to wear a pin-up make up: black touche and red lipstick.

I hope these few informations are helpful and don’t forget that the ultimate accessory is your smile! It’s only few hours left until New Year, so go get ready!

Happy New Year full of prosperities & love!

The preparations for the Christmas holidays occupied all my time the last week and I haven’t been able to post here about the visit of my beautiful friends in Sweden. They have been here for only 4 days but we had such an amazing time together!!! They came all the way from Zurich and Bucharest. We all needed this “girls reunion” at the end of the year, since we all had such a busy year, full of projects and private matters. We first thought of meeting in Bodrum to an amazing detox center, but I had a last minute project to finish so instead they decided to surprise me with a visit here in Sweden. How lovely friends I have! We had 4 days full of discussions, laughter, drinks, joy, and they got to Continue reading →

Today is Lucia day in Sweden, one of Sweden’s favorite holidays! When I moved here, I didn’t know what this day is about, but then I understood is the same celebration of Saint Lucia as in Italy. There are 2 versions of the story here, one of them is that Lucia was a female martyr in the beginning of the christianity around year 200 a.C and this is a Christian tradition as in Italy. The other one is that she was the mistress of the devil and this is a scary tradition, as the legend says that during lucia night animals gets possessed and bad spirits arise. Lucia is celebrated in Italy, Malta and Scandinavia.

Lucia Traditions in Sweden

Everyone eats and bakes Lussekatter – saffron buns – and pepparkaka, and enjoy them with glögg. More about glögg and pepparkaka, here.

Procession of Santa Lucia. Children dress up in white gowns, wear candles on the head and sing Lucia traditional songs.

This is a very funny video about Lucia Day in Sweden. Enjoy!

 

Mykonos – The place where you get it all

The Christmas holiday spirit and the coldness outside made me think these days on our last trip this summer, in Mykonos, Greece. Of course, I wasn’t thinking that summer is close, but with nostalgia in my heart and heavy breath I’m thinking how long is left until I’ll be able to touch the waves of the ocean again, the sand, the warm weather, the smell of the fire on the beach after a long walk and a bath in the middle of the night?!

This December we didn’t plan yet our holiday vacation and maybe it will be somewhere in Europe anyway, so I decided to remember the wonderful feeling of summer by writing about my most amazing vacation in the whole life! I’ve stayed there 2 weeks and I really enjoyed everything that is possible to enjoy in that tiny but amazing island! And I suggest you do the same if you ever wish to have it all in a vacation: fun, wild fun, beach, relax, romance & great food, all in the same place! I will probably need more posts to write everything amazing about Mykonos so I will spread it in a few parts: Food, Restaurants & Partylife; The Town & Shopping; Beaches, Hotels & Culture. So, stay tune! Mykonos 2016 will be awesome if you follow my lead!

Hmm..this year, time went so fast! One moment I am in Mykonos, enjoying the waves, the sun and the sand, next I wake up in bed freezing while outside are 0 degrees Celsius. At least if it would be snow… I’m a summer person, so winter is my worst enemy, but there is one thing that summer can’t replace: The winter holidays!! And here in Sweden is the best place to spend that period!

I love the smell of cinnamon and apple cakes, kanelbullar, glögg or hot chocolate and of course the amazing pepparkakor! These are Swedish traditional winter goodies. Mmmmmm…

Last year we celebrated Christmas at home, in Jönköping, with all the family. Mine were traveling here to spend the holidays with us also. It was my first Christmas in Sweden, so I didn’t actually know how Sweden celebrates, what are the traditions, the Christmas food, etc.. So after doing Continue reading →
