First blog anniversary + first giveaway

Jan152012

CLOSED!!!

Many thanks to all of you who participated!

Hello my lovely readers. Today is a really special day for me as my little blog turns 1 year old. It’s been a great year, which started with small posts about shoes and favorite TV Series and evolved into more fashion related posts and glimpses of my everyday life, through my outfits and my “month in pics” column.

This year wouldn’t have been as fun without YOU that made my everyday life more special by reading my posts and leaving your lovely comments on them. When I started this blog I never thought that so many people would be interested in what I have to say and show. During this year, I not only gained more readers than I could think of, but I also gained a few friends. I don’t have to say who you are, I’m sure you know it by now that I consider you my friends, even though I haven’t met anyone of you in person. I hope that during the next blogging year, I will finally meet some of you.

Garnier BB Cream review

Jan122012

A few weeks ago, I was sent 2 BB Creams by Garnier to try them, and I thought it would be a nice idea to do a review of the product for you. It is my first review ever of a beauty product so I wanted to be thorough. Christmas season was the perfect chance for me to try the product to see how it works, and wear it enough times to get a full opinion, because we usually go out more often during this period. And so I did!

New Year’s Eve outfit

Jan92012

I know I’m terribly late at showing you my New Year’s Eve outfit, but I had other posts planned before and I wasn’t completely sure that I was going to publish these photos. You see, I had only a few minutes to take these pics before we leave for a night club after we welcomed 2012 and I wasn’t at all satisfied by the result. But I decided to post them anyway, because I wanted you to see what I wore.

Holiday Diary

Jan62012

Hello sweeties! How was your week? It’s Friday today, and I’m really excited, cause we’re almost 1 week away from my little Blog’s first anniversary, which gives me great pleasure. I may have a surprise for you, but you will have to stay tuned to find out, so follow this blog any way you like! I would be grateful.

I’m also really excited to finally have the holiday photos ready for you, as I promised on my previous posts! As many of you may already expect, there are mostly food pictures, a few gifts, decorations and some miscellaneous stuff. But those of you who follow my blog for a long time, know how much I love cooking and baking. So let’s get started!

Every year around Christmas, for the last 5-6 years, it has become a tradition for me to make Christmas treats. It may have taken me a little bit longer this year due to the problem I had with my oven, but I finally made them. My close relatives and friends know by now that they should expect a big platter of my homemade melomakarona as a gift. Melomakarona are a traditional dessert of Greek cuisine, prepared primarily during the Christmas holiday season. They can be generally described as “Christmas cookies soaked in syrup of diluted honey (méli in Greek) and then sprinkled with crushed walnuts” (source).

January’s wishlist

Jan32012

Good morning my dear readers! I hope you had a fantastic time during the Holidays! Happy New Year to each and every one of you! May 2012 bring you health, love and happiness!

Continuing with my regular schedule, as the first post of every month, I prepared for you my wishlist for January. It also happens to be the first post of 2012 on my blog so let’s hope it proves to be lucky. At first I didn’t have anything on my mind for this wishlist, but as I started searching for items, I found so many that would fill whole pages. So I’ll just show you the usual 5 I like the most at the moment, and I’ll show you the rest on another post.

1. Valentino studded suede ankle boots, 469€ on sale.
