My Fall Essentials

Fall is just coming around the corner, but I can already feel its coldness everywhere around me. The leaves haven't fallen yet where I am, so it doesn't really look like fall, but I can tell you, it certainly feels like fall. Don't get me wrong, though. I love fall: the colorful leaves, the warm blankets, hot tea, sweaters...
They all wouldn't be part of fall, if it wasn't cold.

These are my fall essentials and the things I use to fight the cold.

My travel essentials & tips

At the moment of writing this post, I am sitting on my bed, with my blogging notebook next to me. In two days, though (Friday), same time, I'll be sitting in an airplane on my way to the United States! I'm super excited and in the US there will finally be constant sunshine! The weather here in the Netherlands is different every week (sometimes very hot, sometimes really rainy...). Anyway, going to the US means I'll have to pack my suitcase (more like stuff my suitcase) and put all my on-plane essentials in my carry-on bag. 

My Summer Essentials

Woohoo! Summer has arrived! Well, officially not yet, but we can all feel it :). I'm very excited for summer, so to spread my summer excitement, I wanted to share today 'My Summer Essentials'.

My Christmas Essentials

Hello!

We're getting closer and closer to Christmas! For my second post of ElephantasticXOXmas, I decided to do a 'My Christmas Essentials', because there are certain products and items that I like to use and wear to make myself look a bit more Christmasy on Christmas day. Here they come:

Reindeer Ears
I love these reindeer ears! I think reindeer ears are a cute way to complete your Christmas outfit. Mine are from H&M and I like how the ears are super soft and have a little bow, too.

Sparkly Nail Polish
For Christmas, I'm going to polish my nails in this sparkly nail polish from Sally Hansen. These sparkles really give me a Christmas feeling, so this is certainly a Christmas must-have for me!

Onesie
When I wake up on Christmas day, I love staying warm and cozy in my soft onesie. Mine is covered in black and pink stars and I bought it with a friend at Primark.

Sparkle Spray: 'The Sparkler'
Christmas without glitter and sparkles is like a swimming pool without water to me: this sparkle spray is from 'The Body Shop' and I absolutely love it! Not only does the bottle look really cute, the sparkles that come out are so pretty and they smell good, too.

A Good Book
I often wake up too early, because I'm so excited about something! Christmas is certainly something to be excited about, so I like having a good book to read while I'm waiting for it to be average wake-up time :).
The book that I'm currently reading is 'Honderd uur nacht' (shown in the picture above). It is a Dutch book by Anna Woltz. I don't think it's translated to English (yet), but if you can read Dutch, I really recommend this book. The story takes place in New York during Christmas time.
All in all, a good book is certainly a Christmas essential for me.

I hope you enjoyed reading about my Christmas essentials. I'm going to celebrate Christmas in Barcelona this year; I'm really looking forward to it! I hope you have an elephantastic Christmas!
