Belated November favourites

Hello Hello,

How are you today my dear readers? I have been sick for the past couple of days which, of course, sucks. And since I have been bed-bound I haven't really been in the creative mood. However, I really wanted to post my belated November favourites before the next post-mas. Now, November was my birthday month hence my favourite month :P.

PostMas 2: Christmas nails (ideas & designs)

Hello my lovely readers and welcome to PostMas number 2!!!!!!
Last year I attempted to create some Christmas nail designs and dare I say it was a success?! I had fun doing it anyway so I thought I should repeat it this year with some "new" designs and ideas for you. If you want to refer back to last year's designs you could do so HERE.
Without further ado here are the ideas and designs for this year's Christmas Nails.

On the left: Simple and easy Santa's Hat.

On the right: Snowman's Face

On the left: A simple french tip with some silver stars and a fine holographic glitter top coat)

On the right: A beige/french manicure base with a mixture of glitter polishes over top)

On the left: Easy christmas tree with gold and rose gold glitter dots, gold star and glitter detail around the design.

On the right: Black and with bow design with a fine holographic glitter, top coat and rhinestone.

Now since there are 6 designs/ideas here I thought that a DIY for all of those would be a bit much so I will commit to a DIY only if you guys want one. So if you do please comment below and let me know which of these is the most appealing to you and which one you'd like to see a DIY for.

PostMas 1: Christmas Giftguide

Yep from this day forth PostMas as an actual thing....!At least it is on my blog....:P
Much like Vlogmas I shall be posting some Christmas related stuff during the month of December starting today. Now the first PostMas is a gift guide. I decided to do a one-fits-all this year since I bailed on the "for him" one last year...!I have 3 gift categories to share with you today: For Her, For Him and Stocking stuffers.

For Her

Top(left to right)

The Body Shop sparkling ginger gift set (I'd rather not say how much I love this....it is kind of depressing to say that I wish someone will buy this for me...)

Oysho slippers and slippers in general are a great gift especially when they are cosy, fluffy and stylish

Inglot Freedom System is the perfect gift for the make-up enthusiast in your life. 

Sigma brush sets is another great present for a make-up junky. They are great value for money and the brushes' quality is amazing. 

Bottom(left to right)

Apivita natural serum line consists of 4 amazing products that are quite luxurious and will be much appreciated by any woman. 

Diptyque candles are incredibly luxurious and the scent pay-off will knock your socks off...!

Neil's Yards Remedies Bee Lovely Head to Toe gift Is the perfect all-in-one gift set. You can pick this up for the female in your life you wants to venture into the world of great quality organic cosmetics.

All of the above products are available in Greece, either to purchase in store or to order online 

Stocking Stuffers

Lip butters(Korres is widely available and their butters are phenomenal)

Lip balms(Apivita's lip balms are fantastic)

Hand creams (Bioten makes great and affordable ones)

Sets of mini shower gels/body lotions etc (L'occitane would be my personal choice)

Socks (Oysho make amazing socks)

Gift Cards are a great way to allow someone to purchase something of their choice, with your contribution and without the awkward part of giving them a tiny envelope with cash in it. 

All of the above products are available in Greece, either to purchase in store or to order online 

For Him

Clockwise starting at the top left corner:

A gift card for DON (an amazing Barber and Groom place in the centre of Athens/Kolonaki). I know this is awfully specific but the general idea is that you can purchase services like haircuts, grooming etc for the man in your life who needs some pampering. 

The North Face ETIP gloves that are taking the internet by storm. These gloves allow you to use your smartphone while wearing them...*Mind Blown*

Skull Candy Headphones are stylish and pricey so one often doesn't spend the extra money on them so it is a great gadgety present.

Moleskin Star Wars notebook for the geek in him(or her...) who still loves watching Star Wars ;) 

Neil's Yard Remedies Men Skincare Essentials is a great gift for a guy who is concerned with his skin and would like to take care of it more. 

All of the above products are available in Greece, either to purchase in store or to order online 

So these are my gift suggestions for your loved ones. I have included some links for your convenience ONLY.  I hope I gave you some ideas or even helped you decide.
See you soon for another PostMas. Next on the list iiiiissssss CHRISTMAS NAILS!!!
