Hi all, how is everyone going with their Christmas Festivities? Has anyone finish purchasing their Christmas shopping for their family and friends? Good on you if you have, well done! Now you can breathe and relax while Christmas is creeping up. Well, for some of us who haven't... Just like me who still have a list of names to mark off I literally have a few days to do my last minute shopping this week. Which I plan to do tomorrow night, and so thankful that the shops open till late. So I have time. Right?! ;-)
So, instead of staying at home. I decided to visit to share how I unwind when I am stuck in a rut or simply adjusting and focusing on what I want to achieve next year. I am a big fan of planning, bullet points and keeping notes to unleash my ideas and where to travel next. Oh the... simple joys!!!
I hope this will inspire you to stop and re-focus especially if you have been distressed or distracted. Just remember to have more me time and cherished the people you love by enjoying their company daily. This is your day to start again!
Today's the day :-)

In the Summer season here in Australia. There are so many things to do during this Festive Season. Going to the beach is something that I always opt for. I know for a fact mostly everyone that I know can find something for themselves at the beach.
Young people like to hang out at the beach with their mates where they can chill and listen to loud music, and where they can meet others, who come to have
fun. While the others long for relaxation, a quick escape where they can easily unwind, read a book and enjoy the beach
in peace. Are you one of this people in the Summer time? Let me know what you do and where's a good place to be this Summer?
I'd love to know!
Be Merry & Bright this Summer!
Happy Holidays Everyone!!!
Much love,
Lenie
HOW TO CREATE YOUR MAKEUP ESSENTIALS | BLOGMAS, DAY 20

Hello!
Welcome to Blogmas, Day 20!
We're just a few days away from Christmas, how is everyone doing?
I thought that I'd share and take my time to show you how much I have been collecting makeup products that I love to things that are old or what I don't use anymore.
How many of you are at least trying to downsize or basically wanting to cull your make up quantity to half? Today, I will show you how I downsized makeup into my makeup essentials. This will allow you to make your morning easier especially on days where you are rushing. Travel light to your next destination and only use makeup that best suits you, ensure you will use every product that you only need when deciding what to keep.
First and foremost start by:
- Pull everything out into one pile. Use a towel or paper to put underneath to avoid staining on the surface.
- Sort out what you want to get rid of. Keep the products that best suits you.
- You can dispose, donate or sell the products you don't longer need.
Ask yourself these questions:
What items could you live without?
How to store it?
Can you use it regularly?
What type of makeup look are you after?
Do you feel attractive when you wear it?
Figure out what you need and what you don't!
Here's what I managed to keep in my storage bag. Make sure you hold onto things that makes you feel good!
Much love,
Lenie
Helllloooo! Happy Holidays to you!

It's the 18th of Decembeeeeer!!! You know what that means...
When it comes to wrapping presents you can pretty much do whatever you like, as in whatever you like. After all you are doing all the wrapping and the gift reciever will only look at it for at least three seconds and nek minute it is all over. On the floor that is. No hard feelings guys, but it is the reality so why not enjoy it and get creative before that all happens. Righhhht?!
I
personally adore the simplicity of the Scandinavian way so this years
theme was influenced on that style. Yet I still like the traditional Christmas the 'red', 'green' and 'white'. So I thought why not mix it up and might as well throw in the grey metalics. For decoration I used some
branches of tree pines and baubles. I am aiming for the presents to also
have a personal feel, so each item is wrapped and styled so they all uniquely differ from one another.
Happy Friday everyone! Hope you've started or completed what you needed to do this week. Let's get ready for the weekend. Are you ready for your weekend to begin? I know I am :-) But more so excited coming back from Woolworths. I got a little carried away I must admit. I found so many things for my upcoming posts such as recipes, table setting and so much more.
Today, I wasn't planning to buy so much but did and also decided to add on my mug collection this Christmas once again. Ahh woops! I got a Christmas mug, wop wop!!! It is more enjoyable to drink coffee or tea especially for this season. I think, its just makes it extra special. Don't you think? I'd love to know! How many of you are guilty of doing this?
I just can't help but love things that screams out, Christmas is hereeeeeee! :-P
I've come up with a few ingredients together ready for family and friends to come over this holiday season. I will be posting a few recipes for you all that you can enjoy this Christmas such as simple recipes for entree, lunch, dinner, dessert and snacks in between for adults and children to enjoy. If you're keen to find out stay tune everyday.
How many days till Christmas? Are you ready for all the cooking, baking and spending time with your loved ones?
Have a lovely weekend and Merry Christmas!!!
Much love,
Lenie
Last Christmas,
Today's post is about how I celebrated last Christmas in another country called 'Philippines'. I cherished and enjoyed every moment and time overseas with families and friends. Hopefully, this will inspire you all to enjoy every season in your life especially now that December has begun.

I’m never entirely certain what the exact meaning of a stocking filler is, so in case you’re not either, on this post are a selection of smaller gifts under $100 that I found. I would personally love to receive on 'Christmas Morning' or as part of the office 'Secret Santa'.

❄ WELCOME TO DAY 2 OF 24 DAYS LEAD UP TO CHRISTMAS ❄
Hey everyone, my name is Lenie! Welcome back to my blog or welcome if your new.
I have really fallen for Christmas jumpers this year. I think it's a great way to be cosy and festive during the holiday season if I lived in a colder climate. In reality, Christmas down under is a sunny hot day as it is the Summer weather.
So today I thought I'd share with you how to make one using pom poms. Allow me to show you how to easily change an ordinary tee that is easy, fun and Chrismassy!
Recently, I made a DIY tee that I thought some of you would be curious to see how I made it. Here it goes, to be honest I actually struggled to find a festive tee in the shops and thought why not make one the way I like it. So here's a super easy cheap last minute idea for tis' season that is Christmas themed.
Here's what you'll need a red tee of your choice. I got mine from Topshop it was discounted to $10.00, glitter twine pack from Kmart, needle and scissors from home. Also pom poms of your choice are from the Hot Dollar store was $2.50 a pack.
So let's begin... So I'm gonna go through each pom pom and I poke the needle through from inside the tee and then I pierced through the pom pom and then I tie a knot from inside. I know its a bit tedious, but it will definitely make the tee last a lot longer especially in the wash. You can easily pair it with any basic bottoms of your choice depending on the style you're after.
I know it'll test your patience but it's so worth it at the end. So there you go it looks like you spent a little more than ten dollars.
That is all I have time for today and I hope you have enjoyed this 'do it yourself' tee. If you've missed yesterday's blog ❄ WELCOME TO DAY 1 OF 24 DAYS LEAD UP TO CHRISTMAS ❄ (Click here) Tuned in for tomorrow's blog for DAY 3 OF 24 DAYS LEAD UP TO CHRISTMAS!
I really hope that you have enjoyed this blog and that you are excited for the next 22 blogs. As always do make sure you let me know with the comments below in what you're loving this December.
Much love,
