Yesterday was Advent Sunday. That is when a lot of parents spend the day in the kitchen with their kids, making Christmas Cookies. Vincent loves to decorate cookies, but what he loves more is to eat the decoration. The cookies you see in the photos are the ones that I decorated. My little Gingerbread man broke so we ate his head and foot while we were working on the other cookies.

The recipe that I used is a generic sugar cookie recipe, but with cacao powder.

270 g Flour
50 g Baking cacao
120 g powdered sugar
pinch of salt
150 g cold butter
2 eggs

First, you mix the dry ingredients and then the eggs and butter. Mix fast so that the butter doesn't melt that much. Refrigerate for at least 40 minutes.

Depending on the size of the cookie you can bake them between 7-10 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.
The smaller cookies I backed for 7 minutes and the big for 10 ;)

I love to use all the colorful sprinkles and confetti. The metallic powder that I used for Vincent's spider cake, we also used to paint some of the cookies with.

We had so much fun! I am looking forward to the next cookie baking session with Vincent.

What are your favorite cookie recipes? Please share recipes in the comments!

Beige and camel and all the nuances in between have been THE trend colors of the spring of 2020. That doesn't mean that I can't wear it in autumn, right? ;) 

The trend is still going strong and that makes me really happy, because the clothing stores are filled with beige jumpers, sweaters, trousers, jackets and more. 

How do I rock the all beige look? Well, with a sweater dress of course! Beige trousers I like to stay away from, but like this, I still get the whole beige nude look that flatters my body shape the most. I like to combine it with my black coat from Mango (last year). 

Do you have any beige-colored garments in your closet? I am selling some of my clothing items that deserve a new home:  www.vinted.de I will be adding more items soon.

Have a look, maybe you'll see something that you might like. Unfortunately, shipping is only within Germany.

Oops, I did it again. I told myself to not buy anymore lipsticks until the end of this year.... Look what I have done! Charlotte Tilbury made me do it :)  

Stoned Rose next to Super Nude 

Stoned Rose - Super Nude

My holy grail product since many years is her 'Hollywoon Flawless Filter' in the shade number 4. I have gone through a couple of these bottles and recommend them to all of my friends that love glowy,  healthy looking skin. It is the perfect glow base for me to mix with my foundation and use as a liquid highlighter on top of my foundation. More photos of different shades: There She Glows

The only downside about this product is the packaging. It is too heavy and you can't get all of the product out of the bottle. It would be great if she could repackage it, or use a pump dispenser. Like this it is also more hygienic. 

Two other products that I purchased, are the 'Filmstar Bronze and Glow' in the new mini size, and a K.I.S.S.I.N.G  lipstick in the shade 'Super Nude'. 

The Bronze and Glow duo I have in the original size. It is a great product, but a bit on the pricy side (€65,00 22,50 g of product). The mini retails for €30,00 and you get only 7g of product. 
It is less value for money, but still I like it more for traveling (when I will travel again haha) because the packaging is smaller and light weight. The bigger sister is heavier because the packaging is made out of metal and the smaller is made out of plastic. You can always first buy the mini, and if you love it, you know you are ready to make a bigger investment and buy the original size. The original also comes in two shades, light to medium and medium to dark. 

I have already made a post of me applying the bronzer and highlighter. 
You can find it here: Bronze and Glow

Now, let's talk about the lipstick. It is amazing! I fell in love with it at it's first application. The Kissing formula is my favorite along with the Superstar Lips. It reminds me a bit of a more opaque and long lasting version of my all time favorite 'Whole lotta Honey' from CLINIQUE.

I have compared my other favorite CT lipstick, Stoned Rose, next Super Nude. Stoned Rose is more peachy and Super Nude is a nice deep nude with mauvy undertones. Normally, I don't wear mauvy lipsticks, but this just works really well with my skin tone. 
These lipsticks are expensive, but amazing quality and they last you a long time. Stoned Rose has also been a lipstick that I have been recommending to many of my friends and it somehow is a shade that suits all skin tones.  

Price €32,00

Overal I am really happy with my purchase. There are some real treasures in the Charlotte Tilbury line. 
Would you like me to do a 'Hits and Misses' brand overview? I have collected quite a lot of her products of through the years ;)

The time has come to open our closets and bring out the warmer outfits! The summer dresses are making way for the sweater dresses. A cozy and super quick outfit that will come in mini, midi, and maxi lengths. 

For my body type, which is the hourglass, I go for either a maxi or a mini sweater dress. It is the most flattering. It hast the cinched in the waist, otherwise, I will look like a sack of potatoes ;)

I am trying to slowly move away from wearing black all the time. You'll find a lot of black sweater dresses in my closet, but not many colorful ones. So I surfed the internet (not much fun going shopping at the moment) and found this super cute sweater dress, which comes in different colors and lengths as well.

What did I just say, move away from black? Since I love this dress so much, I also ordered one in black haha! You can never go wrong with black, can't you? 

Do you guys like to wear sweater dresses? Which brand of tights do you like to wear? My go-to tights are from Calzedonia. 

You can get the dress here:

Last week Oliver and I were wrapped up in his music studio, recording 'This is Halloween' from 'the Nightmare before Christmas' movie. Is there anybody out there that doesn't know this movie? Shame on you ;)
It is one of my favorite movies of all time. I've watched it a million times and will never get sick of it. It is perfect! Vincent loves it too! 

When I asked Oliver if he would be willing to cover 'This is Halloween' with me, he immediately went to his studio to start with the orchestral arrangements. I can tell you it was so much fun to record this song! I loved singing those character voices. 

Last year I received a wonderful present during our meet and greet. I got the whole 'Nightmare Before Christmas' metal figurines. I have displayed them in my living room and thought that it would be great to use them for the video as well. Thank you again to the girl that gifted them to me! 

Thank you all so much for the lovely reactions, I've read all of them. Who knows, maybe I will upload more on Youtube soon ;)
