Recipe: When the Weather Outside is Frightful...

... and the fire is so delightful...

I feel like it's been ages since I last uploaded, but guys,

IT'S ALMOST CHRISTMAS! - it's Chistmas Eve, to be exact -

I have been singing Christmas songs non-stop for the last couple of days - read: weeks- and I probably won't stop until the 31st of January :)

Now what I like to do when it's nearly Christmas, is cuddle up on the couch with some hot chocolate and Christmas treats watching Christmas movies. So, to get me in the mood, I made these little pastries with almond and fig.

DIY: Housekeys

Hello!

Since I am the worst at remembering which one of my housekeys is for which door - they all look so much alike! - and my key covers always fall apart in no time, I couldn't help but give a little squeak when I recently saw an Instagram post from HEMA where they had covered their keys in, believe it or not, nail polish. I needed to try that out.

So, two days later, I was happy to throw all of the key covers, sticky from the duct tape, in the bin for good, and start over.

Turns out, it was not at all as simple as I thought it would be, but after a good hour messing around with nail polish and Scotch tape, I was finally done.

This is what you will need: paper, Scotch tape and as many colours of nail polish as you want to use

Things Are Changing...

Hi there!

As you may have noticed, I have been adding some bits and clips to this blog. The reason is that I am super duper new to this, and I don't really know what I want this blog to look like.

Some examples of things that I have been thinking of changing:

The background; I like this dotty one, nothing wrong with it, but I feel like it doesn't really go with the things that I write on here. I don't quite know where that feeling comes from, but I do know that it is not going away. 

The font; again, I like this one, but I don't know if it really is  what I had imagined for da blogg...

The language; don't panic, I'm not going to change the language completely, but I was thinking about maybe writing some posts in Dutch, just because I don't always feel like challenging my brain to write in English.

Lastly, the name!

I had a dream last night about a normal day at school, and suddenly some girl I didn't know asked me about my blog. Thing is, in this dream the girl mentioned my blog in the name Love, Rosaly... (imagine: loverosaly.blogspot.com) I woke up with the feeling that that might be either a very good or a very bad idea.

What do you think? Should I change the name? Any suggestions?

Just so you know, in the next couple of weeks, I'll be changing some things here and there, don't know exactly what, but yeah...

So I guess you'll just have to bare with me and we'll see where it goes.

Love,

Rosaly

Outfit: Primary Colours + much needed chai lattes

Hi everyone,

Sorry this post has come so late, I had actually planned it for Wednesday, but I have just been SO busy with school and I just didn't have the time.

It's already a week ago, and the weather has softened a bit, but on the last day of November, me and my friend Jieling had planned to go to the 17th century canals of Amsterdam to shoot some photos for this outfit post.

Bad idea.

It was freezing, and after ten minutes, our hands already were so cold that we were having trouble pressing the button on our cameras.

I unfortunately didn't include any gloves in my outfit, even though my mum insisted on it, silly me. So much regrets.

Half an hour later we concluded it wasn't going to get any better than that, so we hasted to a nearby Coffee Company and sat there for a good hour, chatting over our chai tea lattes.
