Dear Santa this year I want... #feelingChristmassy

Christmas Wishes von the-bow, christmas home decor enthaltend

Ugg Boots Mini Bow | I wanted these for a really long time and thought that the bow on the back looks very cute

Desk 'Hemnes' from Ikea| I have my old desk since 10 years (study pal) and now I found that classic desk at my last Ikea visit and it also fits into my white finished room

Sephora Gift Card |because that's heaven for all beauty lovers 

Topshop Joni Jeans| world's comfiest jeans (that's what you call perfection) not more to say

Mac 'Patisserie'| because it looks stunning and Viviannadoemakeup recommend it a couple of times

Lancome 'Grandiose Mascara'| wonderful packaging and an interesting brush

The Body Shop Camomile Cleansing Butter |huge fan of cleansers which have a creamy consistence

#Girlboss by Sophia Amoroso | seems interesting and have heard a lot about it

Topshop Jeans Jacket in Light | perfect for the colder month because it has fur at the inside, combineable with everything

Jessie J 'Sweet Talker' | her voice is amazing and the songs are very powerful

The Body Shop Cranberry Bath Jelly | looks cute and you know how much i like good smelling bath things 

So these were my wishes for Christmas (and also a little bit for my birthday at January). I know I will not get everything I showed you in this post, that's obvious. I'm grateful for every single present I get. It's good to have wishes and to wait for them to come true, so at the end the gladness is bigger when your wishes come true after a long time (talking about material wishes or other wishes and dreams you have in life). The most thing I'm looking forward is having a great Christmas evening with my family( because that's what Christmas is about). It's great to spend time with the family and chat together whilst listening to Christmas songs and eating Christmas cookies. I'm also a person, who likes to give away presents and to see the happy face expression when my friends and family unwrap their presents. Nothing can beat that moment.

My question to you:

What do you want for Christmas?

What are you most looking forward to when it comes to Christmas?

Have a nice weekend and don't forget to leave comments with your feedback,

The Holiday Hot Chocolate #feelingChristmassy

It's the most wonderful time of the year.... . It's all getting so christmassy right now with the Christmas market in my hometown and I'm currently listening to the chilly Christmas sounds (and maybe rocking around my room). As announced in my last post I will start a series with the title #feelingChristmassy, where I will post one post each week to give you the weekly potion of holly, jolly feeling to bring you into the Christmas spirit. Today I will show you the best hot chocolate, the world has ever seen (doubtless better than every beverage from Starbucks). So let's get started :)

First of all you will need this small amount of ingredients:

-300 ml of milk
-two pieces of white chocolate couverture
-one packaing of Swiss Hot Chocolate instant cocoa powder or some spoons of any other instant hot chocolate powder
-a little bit of cinnamon for the spice
-whipped cream for the topping
-also for topping: Chocolate sprinkles and ground bourbon vanilla

1. Mix the instant cacao powder with the milk and heat it on the cooker until the powder is completely dissolved in the milk.

2. Then cut the white chocolate couverture (the special ingredient) in small pieces and add it in the pot and mix it until it's melted.

3.Add in the cinnamon to add a special, christmassy spice to you Hot Chocolate (typically Christmas spice, which can not be missing). Don't forget to stir your ingredients to make sure that they don't get burnt. After that you take your pot from the plate and fill your finished Hot Chocolate in a cute Christmas mug.

4. Next step: decorating. It would look boring without a fancy topping. You can decorate it like you want to do, but I went for whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles with a hint of bourbon vanilla.

 And trust me: It was delicious! Best Hot Chocolate in the world. So tasty and it really got me into the Christmas mood (maybe the hot chocolate plus watching Santa Clause). And et voila here is the result (you have to say: it looks amazing):

Question of today:

What do you think should not be missed at Christmas time?

Hope you liked this post and if you want to you can send me pictures from your "Holiday Hot Chocolate" via twitter (@_Karina_0601) if you try out the recipe :)

I'm really looking forward to your feedback and have a nice advent time and we will see us this weekend with 'My top decoration ideas' on Sunday,
