This Christmas me and my family went to my grandparents house, as we always do, to celebrate Christmas together with one part of my mom's side of the family. We got there around 1PM and begun the night by drinking some mulled wine, or soda for the kids who are not that fond of the mulled wine.

This weekend my family and I had some christmas baking planed. We were at our house where we ate and chatted up on things that hade happened since we last saw each other.

This Sunday me and my friend, Melina, decided to do our french homework with basically was to bake something and film it while talking about it in french. I was supposed to bake blueberry muffins, but because my memory is as long as a goldfish's I forgot the blueberry's at home so I ended up just baking vanilla muffins. Melina baked chess square cookies. We both do not enjoy the baking process but we still had a really good time.

Last night we celebrated my grandmas 70's birthday. We did so by having a really nice dinner at the cruise Bateaux Dubai. The food was delicious and so was the atmosphere. I ordered an Arabic Mezze for starter, Poached Smoked Egg with Porcini Mushroom for the main course and for dessert a Mango-Yoghurt Cheese Cake. Everybody did also get a Cauliflower Soup before the starter which also was delicious.

When I were at Dubai Mall i perched a few things. I didn't buy so many things, main reason is that everything is very expensive here. With this in mind I only went in to shops that we don't have at home.


At Bath & Body Works I bought three christmas/winter scented candles because why not.


The Twisted Peppermint smells exactly as you can imagine. It smells strongly of peppermint with a little hint of vanilla.



Fresh Sparkling Snow smells a bit fruity and very fresh.


To be honest, I have never smelt cranberry or thought of the smell but according to me this candle smells like fruit and warmth.

As you may notice I'm more in to fresh and light scented candles then the ones who smells kind of 'heavy'.





This lipstick is a pinky nude wich I have looked for for a very long time now but never found one that fits me. Even thought I bought this in a hurry, and basically just picked it up and bought it, I really like it. It doesn't give lots of colour but it's still noticeable.

Yesterday evening my family and I went to Dubai Mall to eat dinner and take a look at Burj Khalifa, the worlds tallest building. We ate in a restaurant called Social House where I ordered some kind of vegetarian halloumi salad with pomegranate. I've never eaten anything similar but I really liked it.

I'm at the moment sitting on a flight on my way to Dubai where me and my family are spending the next couple of days. It's my grandma's 70 birthday so we are going there to celebrate her but also just du have a good time. 

Today I woke up in the middle of the night because of the fact that i couldn't breath thought my nose and my throat felt like it was on fire. After downing a painkiller and walked around my room in the dark, to be able to breath, I felt a bit better and could go to bed again.

Having a cold makes me very claustrophobic even though I don't have claustrophobia. I don't know what it is but not being able to breath thought my nose makes me very uncomfortable so I took the decision to stay home from school today (except for the test I'm going to have in the afternoon).


Even thought i felt very poorly this morning it has become much better now after many cups of tea and just chilling in my bed.

I decided to take a break from my studying and go outside to take some pictures. The weather was lovely so I managed to get a few good pictures to share with you.
