I’ve been seeing some of these manicures on the internet for a long time now, and I’m really impressed with how it looks. Having something like this as an inspiration, I decided to give it a try myself. Of course I’m not a manicurist so there wasn’t much chance that I would make it look, at least, similar to that one, but I kind of liked the result. It was the first time I tried something like this, so you can call this “a how to guide for amateurs like me”.
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).

Hello my dear readers! How is everybody? I hope you’re having a nice week.
The weather here is getting cooler, as the temperature has fallen a lot in just one day. Still haven’t packed my summer clothes, nor did I put my winter ones in my closet, but I think I’ll have to.
This week I have something different for you, it’s a new idea for my blog that I want to keep as a weekly “column” but I’m not sure if it would be possible. We’ll see how it goes. I’m waiting for your opinions.
So, these are some of the things I did during the week.

I finally decided to take part to one of IFB Projects. This week’s theme is nail fun. I saw it almost at last minute again, but it was really simple, easy and fun, so I decided to go for it.
So there you go. I snapped a photo of my current nail color (which you’ve already seen here) and I thought it would be fun to hold a bunch of grapes in my hand so you can see the lovely contrasting colors.
This is one of the nail polishes I told you about two posts ago. I chose to paint my nails a summer red color, to go with my toenails that were already painted red.
