Christmas Celebrations

Merry Christmas everyone! it has been such a busy week for me as I have attended 3 family christmas parties in the last few days which means lots of food, presents, and family! Christmas is my favorite time of year, the energy around everybody is just so positive and I love being able to catch up with those family members that I'm not able to see that often. I am most definitely sick of all the food by now, don't get me wrong I do love it, but.there.is.just.so.much!! I find myself needing to have little naps after consuming all the wonderful food (dessert is my favorite)
Speaking of dessert, every year as a Danish tradition on Christmas Eve everyone from my dads side of the family gets together and celebrates. This includes the infamous almond pudding that I am absolutely obsessed with! Part of the almond pudding tradition is to put a whole almond in the bowl of the desset and whoever finds the almond wins a present and receives good luck for the upcoming new year! I am very fortunate to have won it two years in a row now and I guess I can say I really have had great luck.
Down below I have posted a few photo's of the presents I got, enjoy :)






my brother is officially the coolest person ever. Since I got tickets from my parents to a new years music festival (La De Da) for christmas and wouldn't have anything big to open on the actual day he said he would buy me presents! He is the sweetest ever and always spoils me and I feel so fortunate. He got me Chanel CC cream which I have to say is amazing, it has the best coverage, its lighter than a foundation but heavier than a tinted moisturizer, perfect for me since my skin is fairly sensitive and i'm lucky enough to have pretty clear skin so  don't need excessive coverage.
As well as the CC Cream he also got me the Coco mademoiselle perfume set that comes with the perfume, shower gel and body lotion. All three smell so divine I literally drench myself in it..probably not the best idea since I want it to last..And as well as that the lady from Chanel threw in  a few samples of their products since she always serves us when were there so that included Chanel mascara, eye make up remover, cleansing water, face wash and a mini coco mademoiselle bottle. I think this is by far one of my most favorite presents I have ever received.





















 In our family we have another tradition which is to do secret santa
and every year we each get a different person who has to buy us a gift. This year I got given the sweetest diary from Kikki K. It is an absolute essential for me since I am starting university next year so
I think its pretty beneficial as I want to keep on top of assignments and dates and such. It comes with cute stickers as well! I forgot to take a picture of the actual diary(its white with a blue and pink number 14) but in the pictures shown is a little note card popped in the book cover that reads "2014 this is your year" and on the back of it has a cute little message! I thought this gift was so thoughtful of the person who gave it to me. Along with this I also got a cheeky pair of underwear (didn't take a picture) which are red and read on the back of them "I'm the reason Santa has a naughty list"



 This wasn't actually a christmas present, I just
asked my brother to buy it for me since he was
near the only shop that actually sells nylon
magazines that are true to their release date
(seriously I go into my local bookstore and the
nylon's there are from like two months ago) and
I desperately wanted this one as it had Demi on it.
If you know me personally or have followed me
on tumblr for a decent amount of time you will
know that I am avid fan of Demi Lovato. I think she is wonderful and very inspirational and such a
positive role model. She also has the best laugh
I have ever heard in my entire life.

Lastly, one of my most best smelling gifts. I stated
in my wish list not too long ago that I wanted this
candle and I got it! My mother knows me too well. It's also the larger size which made me even happier because it will last longer. It is passionfruit and lime flavored and hands down the best candle I have ever smelt. Aside from whats pictured, I also got a few other little presents for christmas as well as cash but I didn't want post them all or it'd be a pretty long post, so yeah! I am extremely excited for new years as I am going away with some of my best friends and seeing Flume and ASAP Rocky live to name a few..
This year has been one of the best years of my life to date despite the downs that have occurred so heres hoping to end it on a high note :)
