An Australian Christmas

At the risk of being predictable, here is a Christmas post. I know, I know, but I can't help myself. I simply LOVE Christmas time.

Here in Australia we spend our Christmases outside, having a barbie (barbecue), drinking beer/summery cocktails and playing cricket, eating pavlova and swimming. It's a pretty excellent time.

On Boxing Day, there's always massive sales but there's also the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race. It's pretty excellent to watch as they sail on the harbour (to Tasmania).

Pavlova... best. Ever.

When I look at all the lovely things I'll be able to see for Christmas, I just get so excited. It's such a fun time. 

I'm curious though, for those who are used to a white Christmas - how would it be for you to spend it swimming and having a barbie? Would it be weird for you, or would it be a fun experience?

I think I'd like to experience a white Christmas at least once :) 

How do you spend your Christmas/Hanukkah/Ramadan? 

I'd love to hear!

Christmas Nail Art

Well, in case you hadn't already guessed, I love Christmas. And painting my nails. So combine the two I say, and embrace the festive season in nail polish! Err... yeah.

So I found a few links that I am definitely going to try! I bought a white Sally Hansen nail pen, and it's great! It does fabulous french manicures too :)

Snowflake nail art, this is real cute. I've never had a white christmas before! :)

Wrapping paper nail art - so pretty!

More to come!
