Details

Some details from our house! Some were DIY, some we bought and the wood frame painting was made by my mother-in-law!

Alguns detalhes da nossa casa! Alguns nos fizemos nos mesmo, outros a gente comprou e a pintura na madeira foi um presente da minha sogra!

Sorry about the photos quality, but I took them from my mobile.

Quick post

Just a quick post to say I have the best hubby in the world

Yesterday I was in the need of a comfort food, so my hubby sent me to take a bath and when I came out I had fresh baked oatmeal cookies and a tea set up waiting for me!

What to watch

I’ve been following this BBC series and I find it amazing! I am learning things about my country that I never learned before! This series is about Michael Palin discovering Brazil. For those who don’t know, Michael Palin is an English comedian and he is part of the group Monty Python.

Easy peasy orange cake :)

Most Wanted!

I am sorry I am not writing very much! Actually, I have no excuses. I promise I will do better! 🙂

Well, fall is here and winter is around the corner. We had already a few snow falls and everything looks pretty and white on the mountains! Just because you need to keep warm for winter does not mean that you can’t look good.

Investing in a good pair of boots, handbag and a good coat is the key for looking good when the weather is cold.

All the items above are either form Mango.ch or Zara.ch. The good thing is that you can buy them online!

Winter for beginners

A friend,that recently moved to Canada, asked me to post some tips about winter clothes.

I will say this with convection, winter is COLD. Do not underestimate winter. Always check the temperature before leaving the house and if possible always carry an extra layer of clothing with you. The key of keeping warm in winter is layering. Make sure you have an under layer, bottom and top( base layer are tight to the body and keep your body warm), a top layer and a jacket. If it is snowing, a water proof with a hoodie jacket, is the best option.

Accessories are a must.Hats, gloves,scarfs and a good pair of boots will really make a difference.

Vacation tip

If you are around Europe and love an adventure you should definitely check this hotel out!

 

The Kakslauttanen Hotel is in North Finland, and you can sleep inside glass igloos under the northern lights! But if sleeping inside an igloo is too much for you, you can  choose to sleep inside one of there amazing cabins!

Routine

Well this past Thursday was Alex’s birthday. Happy Birthday! So I’ve been busy with the celebrations.
