Merry and sweet Christmas to all of you my lovelies!
It's a great day, and I didn't want to miss this occasion to write a few words about it, and of course share a beautiful choir version of what is my absolutely favourite Christmas song: Silent night. It's for many people a sad song. As I remember being told infinite times "what a depressing song, can't we play Jingle bells instead?". Well, it's true, it's a quiet song, but no way it is sad. It speaks about the most joyful event we could imagine, the birth of a child. No bells, no santa, no gifts. Still I think it carries the most powerful message for Christmas. Peace, silence, quietness, life, love, hope.

There's a beautiful spanish version of this song called "Noche de paz" which means Night of peace. And its lyrics are for me a beautiful example of humanity.
Someone may say Oh! this is such a religious song and I must answer it is, well Christmas IS a religious holiday after all. It remembers the birth of baby Jesus, thus is the most important date for Christians. But even if your not religious, or you're not a Christian, what this holiday is about, and what the song speaks about, is the most precious gift we can give and receive, represented with a birth of a child, which is LIFE. I guess every human on the face of the Earth should agree LIFE is precious and nowadays the world has turned into such a madness we often forget that. And I know places, including my beloved home country, where the value of life has diminish terribly.
I wish you a peaceful day, surrounded by your loved ones to celebrate Life. Yet, I know very well that's not always possible, this day I won't see my parents, my brothers and sisters, my nephews, my grandma, and of course all the loved ones that have past away, still I know I am blessed and surrounded by their love, wherever they are.
Love,

Hello my dears! How are is your Sunday?
While you're reading this, we are out for a walk with my baby and hubby, enjoying a little our time together. I hope the pictures will show today, because my yesterday's slideshows were not showing and I can't find the way to make them appear through blogger. I don't want to post all the pictures individually because they're too many, and all my previous slideshows work well, so I do not have a clue why this happened! Yesterday I gave up and removed my post when I got home, now it's waiting in the drafts until I find a way to make it work. Blogger is not making my life easier these days, I assure you.
But let's get into more pleasant news. Last week my dear friend Christine from polished Marvels sent me an early Christmas present!

Makeup Looks for Holidays: 3 ways of using silver
Dec 11, 2013
Hello my lovelies! Have you already everything planned out for the Holidays? or you'll go with the flow?
If you know me a little you might have guessed I've also been thinking what to wear, and OF COURSE, what makeup look to sport. As metallics have been going strong lately I thought I'd go all Silver and GOLD! Yay! I know, if you're more of a low makeup profile you might be thinking: "I'll never put gold on my eyelids and gosh forbid the silver and me ending up looking like an 80's bombshell of frostiness! "
But I think the latest metallic trend is so appropriate for parties, night outs, balls, and all kinds of event we usually have at this time of the year. I have not less than six different suggestions for Holidays metallic makeup looks! I've prepared 2 mega-dense posts one for silver and one for gold, with three different looks each! Today is Silver-y looks turn. I hope you enjoy :)
