So this is Christmas...let the countdown begin!
I love the smell of winter in the air ;)) it might sound crazy but I can smell when winter is near :D There's always that awful cold weather which I like and that joy , the rush of the holidays the amount of money spent on trees, food, drink and last but not least GIFTS:D
What to buy my mom? my friend? my aunt or cousin? and what about my boyfriend/ girlfriend? We all have these itsy-bitsy concerns around this time of year and we all are searching for the perfect gift. I know I am ...constantly because I.m a freak like that :))
So in my attempt to help some of you who maybe read my amateur and boring blog here are a few ideas:
1. A VIDEO GAME ( Xbox 360 ) if you're guy is into this sort of thing which I. sure he is like 99% of men you should hit the stores and buy him a game . Its quite expensive but worth it ( for them at least) For more info regarding new games and more check out : www.gamezone.com
2. If you're man is the type of person who loves to read or watch a good movie you could aways find out what his favorite book is or one that he ones and get it for him .The same with the movie . The price range its acceptable and he will be pleased to see that you have an interest in his hobbies.
If you decide on a book you could even write him a special statement that way he'll always know who is it from and will treasure that book even more;)
3.Give him a gift for his car ( if he owns one) I know sound weird but believe me there's nothing a man would appreciate more than a little accessory for his " second baby" . Go to a local car shop with him , see what his got his eye on and if its in your price range go for it .
4. If you have next to you a man who likes to groom and who cares about pretty clothes and fine accessories then you should go for a very beautiful watch . You can't go wrong with that. This way he'll always be on time for your dates, he'll have a beautiful piece of jewelery on his wrist that will always remind him of you whenever he looks down on it.

Christmas is my ultimate favorite holiday for so many reasons which I.m not going to get into right now but I will say this ...its the perfect time to give and receive and share with your loved ones amazing things. Some of which are GIFTS!!! yeee!
So I will try and give you some options and ideas for the perfect presents:
1. Perfume!!!
Guess -" Seductive " is a new scent that just came out -right in time for the holidays .The gift set has a 200 ml body lotion which is very convenient because it lasts for a really long time.Olfactive group: Floral -Fruity Gourmand ( very yummy right? Lasting power-quite good.
) For more detailed reviews and information about the notes check : www.fragrantica.com .
As for the price, it depends on where you decide to purchase it ( either its Sephora, ro.StrawberryNet.com and other similar sites.
This is the perfect fragrance to " seduce" your beloved one and make her remember each moment of Christmas.
Another perfume ( and one of my favorites) is Givenchy- "Very Irresistible" . This comes with a 50 ml perfume bottle which is an eau de toillet , 75 ml body lotion and 75 ml wash cream and a mini roll-on perfect to keep in your purse. Olfactive group: Floral- Fruity . It has different types of roses all mixed up and combined to create the perfect sexy rosey fragrance. For more detailed reviews and information about the notes check : www.fragrantica.com .
Packaging is very pretty, the perfume bottle is a light pink..you can't go wrong with pink:)) I recommended it for day wear , it is a very sexy, feminine smell without being too overpowering or overwhelming . Lasting power -very good!!!
Ideal for a working woman who spends long hours at her desk but who still wants to feel feminine and sexy after a long day of work .
2.Jewelry
http://www.pandora.net/ Very pretty pieces of jewelry ( lucky charms, watches ) for pictures and prices check put the site;)
3.Urban Decay products
Here are a few ideas to browse through : http://www.urbandecay.com/categories/GiftsSets.cfm
4. Wooden jewelry case:
This is just one of the many models of jewelry boxes or cases you can buy your girlfriend or wife. Every woman has more or less jewelry and we never have enough space to store them in :)) here is your solution . You can Google some sites or simply go to your local mall to see some pieces. I.m sure you will find one in your price range.
To make it more spectacular you can even engrave it on the back that way your loved one will always remember the moment when she received it and it makes it all seem much more romantic and thoughtful . Its going to cost you an extra bit but it will be money worth spent and she will notice the attention and care you put into her gift!
Hope you found these ideas helpful;)
Look out for What to buy HIM for X-mas.....................
PERFUME ...?? who doesn't like to smell like candy, or licorice or like flowers....? I know I do , not so sure about the flower scents but I loove candy scents and things that smell sweet. What can I say , I'm a sweet junkie:D.
Ever since my trip to France in high school, I've become addicted to perfumes. Why? Because I got to try out all sorts of mini samples of perfumes and I even got to take some home with me and that's when the madness started. I began falling in love with Hypnose by Lancome...I was addicted and I had to buy a full size bottle or else...:)) Then there was Lolita Lempicka ..a lovely fragrance and very unique but I'll talk about that in a different scent review .
I just wanted to make a brief introduction about my addiction a.k.a obsession to perfumes:D yes I.m a realist and yes I am obsessed with perfume.
Oke I'm getting to the point..finally:D NINA RICCI- I got it as a gift from my adorable bf:X he constantly "feeds" my obsession.
How it all started: I went into sephora like I always do when I go to the mall:)) and I immediately saw this amazing bottle shaped as an apple: red apple with silver leaves, how adorable is that? So then after this immediate attraction I went ahead and took a sniff and lets just put it this way, it was love at first sniff:D !!! I knew right away that this perfume is me , you all know that feeling, you smell something or you see something and you know its meant to be yours.
And I received it after a couple of weeks , I was extremely happy so happy that I almost didn't want to use it:)) I know silly but I wanted it to last me for ever and ever:D Oke enough about this rambling lets talk facts..........................
1.Packaging: irresistibly cute:D
2. Price: expensive yah but still affordable in comparison to other brands such as: Dior, Chanel,Lancome etc.
3.Smell: maybe the most important part ( saved the best for last) I though of this before saying it....and only one "adjective" comes to mind when describing this scent: YUMMY! yes I know I'm not talking about food but it smells like you wanna eat it at least I do every time I.m wearing it.
4. Notes: Calabrese lemon, lime, red toffee apple, vanilla infusion, moon flower, peony petals, apple tree wood, cotton musk . I smell the lime, toffee apple and the vanilla infusion no peony or cotton musk, I don't smell those notes but either way all these are a deadly combination for all you fruits and sweet lovers out there.
I could probably go on and on about this but I dont want to bore you....My closing statement : if you like floral-fruity perfumes you should go check this one out because you will be the talk of he town when wearing this perfume.You will turn "noses" and heads if you wear this;)
Let me start by saying that this brand of nail polish may not be the most expensive one on the market but in my humble opinion is one of the best out there:D
1. Price: very affordable
2.Colors: they have extended their colors from light ones to very colorful or dark ones.My personal favorite is number 260 the color goes with everything and it looks so natural and preppy.
3.Lasting: surprisingly it last for almost a week if you put a top coat on of course.
4.Packaging: The bottles are small and the brushes apply the polish really smoothly without leaving any lines on your nails, I tried a Seventeen pink nail polish once and the brush was a nightmare, the color was oke..but thats another "nail polish" tale:)). I really like small brushes they apply the color really nicely on your nails, even if they are short or long( I tried to apply on long and short nails and the effect-remarkable).
Closing statement: I think this brand of nail polish is really good and the colors are really nice.I recommend this brand to teenagers for its lovely range of playful colors but also for who ever wants to try something really affordable that looks like a million bucks;)

Hair products: well lets just say that I've just begun to discover the wonders of using the right hair product when needed.
I used a few other brands before using the Joico line and let me just say that the difference is there my friends.
1.Packaging:Colorful bottles, good amount of product.
2.Price: above average products costs but higher quality and worth it.
3.Effect: noticeable.
4.Smell: all the Joico products smell amazing :D
I think this should be a product that everyone needs to have when using hot tools. Don't mess with your hair too much because on a long run you are going to suffer from your laziness. Check this product out, and you will see that your money will be worth spent. The art of healthy hair !!!!!!!!!!!!
