HOW I INTEND TO CHANGE IN 2016

Hi there!

I know this blogpost was due AAAGES ago, but today I wanted to spend a little bit more time to explain to you my New Year's Resolutions for 2016. There is always a few people that do this each year, and usually I find those posts a little bit cliche and unnecessary. I find resolutions in general cliche and - most of the time - unnecessary. But this year, there are a few posts, this one in particular, that got me into thinking about how I - if I were to make up New Year's Resolutions this year - would want to change. What I found amazed me.

HAPPY 2016!

Hi there!

Unfortunately I am one day late with this post due to lack of sleep and not being able to move from eating too much ;) I hope you had a fantastic Christmas - only 358 more days to go yay! - and also a very happy New Year's Eve.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! | BLOGMAS DAY 24

Hi there!

I'm uploading this at precisely midnight, which means it's Christmas Day! I know that by doing this I'm sort of bending the rules, but I really wanted to make this last post just for Christmas Day - hence why I've called this post blogmas day 24 instead of 23.

I wanted to wish you all a very merry Christmas, and I hope that you get to spend it with some of your favourite people, whether that is your mum, your sibling, your best friend or your partner.

I hope that you eat way too much food in the following days, so much, in fact, that you will want to sign up for the gym afterwards.

I hope that you have a Christmas on which you're having too much fun to take photo's.

I hope that you are kissed under the mistletoe - should you want to be kissed, of course.

I hope that you find happiness in the days that we tell the truth and think about others.

I hope that you find joy in giving your loved ones their presents and seeing their faces as they open it.

I hope that your abdomen will ache for days, from laughter.

I hope that your throat will be sore from singing Christmas carols and catching up with everyone.

I hope that family arguements will be put aside, even if just for the day.

I hope that you get to do the things you love, with the people you love.

And above all, I hope that, even if you don't get any of the things listed before, you will still feel the magic of Christmas, and recieve the hope for you and others to get through another year.

And maybe next year, you will have those things I hoped you would.

Merry Christmas.

Love,
Rosaly

THE INSTAGRAM TAG | BLOGMAS DAY 22

Hi there!

I know I said that I was going to upload 4 Christmas party outfits, but my friend who was going to help me take the photo's has issues at home and couldn't come, so I had to come up with something else.

Last year, Laura tagged everyone who felt the need to fill in this instagram tag, and as Instagram is one of my favourite social media platforms and I'm really looking forward to spending my entire afternoon looking back at old photos so... here we go!

What is your most recently posted photo on Instagram?

RECIPE: CHRISTMAS LUNCH | BLOGMAS DAY 21

Hi there!

I know I said this yesterday, but CHRISTMAS. It's literally almost here and I couldn't be more excited! I honestly want to ashshdfjdfl away in caps, but I won't, because that's a little bit inappropriate. Although. This is my own blog, after all.

AFHSJFHFHGVNISFH... - just kidding.

Moral of the story, I'm excited. For Christmas, should you be wondering.

A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS PART 4 | BLOGMAS DAY 20

Hi there!

Only four days left to Christmas and I can't contain my excitement any longer, like, I'm honestly about to explode...

As I really do want to round up A Merry Little Christmas for you, so... Here is the fourth and first to last part of A Merry Little Christmas. I'm sorry it's not too long, but I'm really really tired right now, and I want the last one to be a bit longer, so...

RECIPE: NIOMI'S NON ALCOHOLIC MULLED 'WINE' | BLOGMAS DAY 19

Hi there!

Today I wanted to really submerge us all in the Christmas spirit and give you this recipe for non alcoholic mulled 'wine'. If you haven't got any kids or pregnant women around and you don't have to drive home tonight, you can easily make this alcoholic by replacing the grape juice for red wine.

RECIPE: GRANDMA'S APPLE PIE | BLOGMAS DAY 18

Hi there!

Today I wanted to share with you a recipe that I 'learned' from my mum, who learned it from hers. It's a classic in our family, and it's probably one of the simplest and most basic pies you could think of. That doesn't mean it's not absolutely delicious. It's an option for every birthday and every party, because who doesn't like apple pie? If you don't like apple pie, no offense, but why not? It's so good!

WHY THERE WAS NO BLOGPOST YESTERDAY | BLOGMAS DAY 17

Hi there!

As you may - or may not - have noticed, I didn't upload a blogpost yesterday. Today's blogpost is kinda cheating because I'm going to explain why that was.

I was busy. So incredibly busy.

It's a shitty excuse, but unfortunately, it's true. Yesterday was our school's Christmas gala, and throughout the entire day - 6am to 7pm - I had exactly 4 hours to bake an apple pie, buy a mask - it was a masked gala, called 'Hidden Faces'; super fun, but a little less convenient in my planning - and get ready - aka curl my hair, which takes at least two hours, do my make up, and find some wearable tights.

RECIPE: CHRISTMAS BREAKFAST | BLOGMAS DAY 15

Hi there!

As I'm kind of a cooking fanat - you know all about it huh - I thought that I would start a sort of 'series' of three blogposts in which I give you my recipes for my version of classic Christmas day food! That means breakfast, lunch AND dinner! With today the first part, breakfast.
