Since last year I’ve been seeing DIY for making small sized Christmas trees you can use to decorate your desk for example. They are so simple and cute to made I could let this year pass by without making them. I made both trees in less than 2 hours so is the perfect craft for a last minute decor. Supplies: Felt (dark green and blue) Scissors Cocktail Sticks Circular Wood piece (30mm diameter) Glue Decorative Stars Needle Pencil Each layer of the tree is made with a square shape smaller near the top. I started with a 12cm square and took 1cm each new square so, in the end, I got 12 squares from 12 cm to 1cm – from the bottom to the top. So I start drawing all the squares I need in the felt and them cut them out. With the help of a needle open a …

I don’t know how I did it but I made it!! I accomplished my goal settled for this month !! Hupp hupp, I’m so happy!! It was sad the end of Allegiant but it was worth it. If you want to know more I did a review on Monday. I was getting so tired of reading the books. I just read Allegiant right after I finished Insurgent  I actually can’t even remember reading the end of Insurgent. Is so strange. And jumping right from one to the other without any break kinda feel I’ve been reading a big hole book with 800 pages (probably the size of both books together) and the second book being so… – I don’t want to say boring because it wasn’t – steady and it was so slow – again I have a review of it – there wasn’t as many shocking situations and emotions …

After today’s morning news I believe a book is what everyone needs right now. With so many disappointment from the US elections reading a book that does not feature the world as we know is a blessing. And for me is also a timeout while I write this down, it helps to clear my head and hope for the best. I already did the review of the first book and it seems pointless not to continue with the series and because I love it so much!! So I am sorry if you don’t like Divergent but it is going to be around the blog for a few months – until they released the fourth movie/tv series (?) is all too uncertain for now. I saw the first movie after reading the book and was a big mistake! The characters were not what I imagined and it messed my head later …

We all have years that leave a big mark in our lives maybe with the day we enter a new school or university, maybe with a new friend, there are thousands of reasons and for me there was only two huge moments: with 14 years old my personality and posture in the world changed a lot; and my second year of Uni. To the first one, I’ll maybe talk about it in another day, the one for important for today’s post is the second. In the middle of so many changes to becoming and adult – or at least trying to – I came across a bunch of Youtubers and one of them I’ve been following for more than a year and is my true inspiration. Thanks to her I decided to start reading, to buy what I wanted to read and to fully enjoy a book. I’m talking about the one …

On a daily basis, my social media is filled with photos of autumn which are very normal considering this time of the year and also photos of one of the fruits of the season: conkers. Only last week I learned this word (never knew how was it called in English) and I was thrilled with happiness for finally know how to say it. With a little research I found odd not be able to find any recipes with them I though maybe cooking them is more of a Portuguese tradition instead of a worldwide one. It was annoying me soo bad how a simple recipe wasn’t online so people could enjoy eating conkers instead of just leave them around the house. When I realised conker was a toxic species and you’re not supposed to eat them I just wanted to bang my head against a wall. How could I be …

To start of this week celebrating the arrival of my birth month there is nothing better than reading a book wrapped in a comfy blanket sipping a cup of hot tea. Be aware this book is a serious problem and you will fell the need to buy the next ones so is important to have enough money to buy them all. I am not here to scare you but when I ended Divergent I was so excited to read the next one to know what was going to happen that I literally couldn’t even think about the book I would instantly fell a punch in the stomach and get very anxious. Which made it really hard to write a review after reading it.   With no forward do I leave here the synopsis from Goodreads: In Beatrice Prior’s dystopian Chicago world, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular …
