Hello!
So first of all, Merry Christmas! I am so sorry for being mia lately, but I  was just enjoying doing absolutely nothing (movie marathoons for days).. And that's great!
I know that I am quite late with all the essentials for winter, but I think it's better later than never. So I hope you enjoy!

 

1. Blanket. 
Who doesn't need a cozy and soft blanket to snuggle into on cold, nipping and snowy winter days?
2. Slippers. 
I can't stand walking barefoot because I feel like I am picking all the dirt from the flooring and I love my socks too much to get them dirty and gross ha ha
3. Warm toy. 
Not only you have a cute toy laying near you, but it also keeps you warm! 
4. Socks. 
I have a somewhat obsession with cute socks so I collect them lol
5. Books. 
What can be better than lying in bed with a book in your hands and a cup of coffee/tea by your side? And this leads to another essential...
6. Coffee/Tea. 
I would say these two are essentials all year round:)
7. Thermo mug.
I see that last three essentials are quite related ha ha. A thermo mug is a life saver when it comes to going to school/work early when it is even colder than during the day or when you are running late you can just grab it and drink it on the go:)
I really hope you can find at least a few of these in your winter essentials list:) And please write the ones that I did not mention in the comments down bellow!
As this year is ending, I wish all the negativity and difficulties to also end with this year and 2016 bring success and desired results for you. This New Year may you rediscover yourself and emerge as a more confident and contented soul! (x)

The Holly Jolly Holiday Tag!

1. Favorite Christmas movie?
I actually don't have one favorite Christmas movie, but I always enjoy "Yolki" series! It's Russian production movies, that are always released before Christmas/New Year. There are 4 movies released I think.  These are amazing! I always burst out laughing when watching! That is unfortunate, I think that there is no English version. But I am pretty positive that you can find one with subtitles!
2. Are you on the Naughty list or the Nice list?
I think I belong in Naughty list ha ha.
3. Show us an embarrassing Christmas Card photo!
Is it sad that my family doesn't even have one? It's a great tradition, but it's not common to do that in Lithuania
4. Have you ever had a White Christmas?
For Lithuanians it's normal and actually nothing special to have a White Christmas, but in the past few years, unfortunately, there was no snow on the Christmas day, just rain and a lot of puddles.. Global warming shows a clear impact:(
5. Where do you usually spend your holiday?
Usually just stay at home or visit my grandparents.
6. Play or sing your favorite Christmas song!
Ha ha,  maybe no. But I can share with you with one of my favorite playlists on youtube to listen while waiting for the Christmas, press here.
7. Do you open any presents on Christmas Eve?
Usually just stay at home or visit my grandparents.
8. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer?
I won't even try ha ha! Well, I know Rudolph,that's it (shame on me).
9. What holiday tradition are you looking forward to most this year?
Our family and relatives have this tradition to bake patties with mushrooms, poppy seeds and stewed cabbage and then exchange with each other:) Also in my family every Christmas Eve begins with everyone sharing their Christmas wafers. I just know that it is a Christian thing:)
10. Is your Christmas tree real or fake?
Fake. And it's the same one that I remember from my childhood!
11. Hands down, what's your all-time favorite holiday food and holiday sweet treat?
Well, various pastries of course:) I would tell that I love eating "Chocolate Santas" or other Chrsitmasy candies, but sadly I am allergic to chocolate:((
12. Be honest: do you like giving gifts or receiving gifts better?
Definitely giving gifts, oh and make sure to participate in my giveaway here which ends on the Christmas Eve!
13. Show us your tackiest Christmas attire!
Sadly, I don't have any pictures of me during Christmas! I usually take pictures of other people.
14. What would be your dream place to visit for the holiday season?
Maybe Disneyland or Lapland in Finland:)
15. Does your family have a special holiday recipe you like to help make?
I would say nothing special, because usually my grandmas cook everything and we just bring our pastries:)
16. Are you a pro-present wrapper, or do you fail miserably?
Actually, I am not that bad at gift wrapping, but for sure I would call myself a pro-present wrapper!
17. Most memorable Holiday moment?
I think it happened when I was 6-7 years old. I got an amazing barbie house that I kept in my room until I turned 16. I believe that my mother gave it away to kids in need, just like she does with all my toys and clothes, which I grew out.
18. What made you realize the truth about Santa?
Time:) (also I spotted my mom putting presents under the Christmas tree ha ha)
19. Do you make New Years resolutions? Do you stick to them?
Yes, I always do. Most of the time I stick to them:)
20. What makes the Holidays special for you?
The calm and relaxing atmosphere. Oh and the snow!

Now, I TAG EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU!

Hello,
I don't know if you have noticed, but I  haven't been posting as much as I would usually. And I just wanted to apologise and explain why. I am a 11 form student, which means that for this year I had to select the subjects needed for my further career development. I have chosen A levels of Biology and Chemistry. These subjects were always my favourite, but the curriculum this year has changed drastically compared to 10 form and I did not even mention that I also have 8 more subjects besides these that I need to prepare for.  I just can't mentally handle the pressure that I get from school and balance my social and school life. Blogging for me isn't just a hobby, it's also my way to relax and it may sound cheesy, but it's the thing that makes me happy. I could post more blog posts, but I just want them to be the best I can do, and for me it takes about 3-7 days, sometimes more to complete a single blogpost and sometimes, in days like this when I find some time to blog, I try to do as much as I can do, but it just gets overwhelming. I don't want to go to more details and I just really hope that you will understand.. This actually makes me mad that I can't post as much as I would love to, especially during the Holiday time. Anyways, I am so happy that the Holidays are coming and I will have a few weeks to sleep in, because these past few months I wasn't getting enough of sleep because of the schoolwork I needed to complete.
♡
I love you guys so so much and your support and comprehension would mean the world to me! I am really sorry that I can't promise you to post more often, but I will try my hardest (by the way, I already have a few posts, that I am currently working on, in my drafts). I wish you an amazing time!
