SUN

Good morning!!!
So I'm back in Latvia! If yesterday the weather was not so great than today it's more than great it's wonderful. Finally here is the sun. Yesterday here was a fog..and that kept my plane up in the air for one hour more. :( But yes today is sun shining as you can see in photo  :) but of course it's winter and outside is less than 0 degrees. Hope you all enjoy this week as I do. Later going to search gingerbread dough. What do you have planed for tonight?

SNAPSHOTS OF VERONA

Hey! 
Here are some snapshot from my trip to Verona. I put all the photos in one collage because I took them with my phone. Here you can see that the Christmas is already here. All the shop windows are decorated with xmas trees and they are so sparkle. I loved the huge metal white colored xmas star which is going outside the arena. Streets were full of people and small stands selling candies, nuts and a lot of delicious products. Like a little paradise on the ground. I'm really enjoying the xmas time this year. Some new posts about xmas theme soon! Wish you all great monday!

Hey, I'm back! 
Here are something fresh and totally not for winter feeling. It's more for spring and summer! It's Elizabeth Arden Green Tea set which includes scent spray, shower gel, body cream, bag and small blanket. I really like the perfume of the products because it reminds me of warm summer nights. I still have the same flavor dry body oil from L'Erbolario. You need to try these products!

LET'S PLAY

Yesterday I went out for shopping in Corso Buenos Aires (Milan). So there were two girls who invited everyone to the new Aldo shop to try the luck. There was a huge slot machine and all you have to do is just pull the handle but even if you weren't lucky (talking about me) you could get a pack of playing cards and a nice chocolate shoe :) Thank you!
