DIY: Gingerbread Man Cookies

 

I've been baking for Christmas Eve! About two weeks ago I found a Gingerbread Man cookie cutter in a Dutch store, which is new, because the concept of a Gingerbread Man is not as well known here as it is in the US. So, I had never made these before and was so excited, especially for the decorating part. They go perfect with a nice Gingerbread Latte! Want to see how I made these??

DIY: Christmas Gift Wrapping

 
It is easy to let the girl or guy behind the counter wrap your Christmas gifts when you buy them, but giving a gift becomes extra special when you wrap it yourself AND personalize it. Isn't it so much nicer when you see someone has actually put an effort in? I love wrapping gifts and will show you what you can do and need to up your gift wrapping game and personalize your Christmas gifts.

Store: Typo


As a flight attendant I was very privileged to be able to walk into a lot of stores that I had never heard of before, Typo is one of them! I first saw this store when I was in Brisbane, Australia. The hotel we stayed in with the crew was just around the corner of a large shopping street & I just jumped for joy when I went inside Typo. If you like to craft or are looking for (wedding) gifts, stationery or decoration for your house.. this is the store for you. Honestly.. I even love to just browse their website. I will show you what I got from Typo!!

DIY: Gingerbread Latte

 
Want to make a Gingerbread Latte (Speculaas Latte in Dutch) at home, that tastes as good as the one from Starbucks? I've got an easy recipe for you, that includes homemade Gingerbread Syrup! Besides being delicious, the ingredients in the Gingerbread Latte are very helpful to keep you warm, because they promote blood circulation. Perfect for the Holiday season and beyond!

Shoplog: The Beauty Bakery

 
The Beauty Bakery is a Dutch webshop run by a very funny and beautiful Dutch girl called Angel Raterman. The Beauty Bakery makes their products by hand and uses natural ingredients like sheabutter and almond oil. If you go on their website you will be overwhelmed by all the Bath Cupcakes, Lollipop Soap and tons of Whipped Body Butter. Besides this, the Beauty Bakery make great dupes of brands like LUSH and even Chanel. I tried out a sugar scrub, facial cleanser & facial cream. Want to know what they smell like? And if I like them?
