Happy holidays. I’m an Icelandic girl who lives in Denmark, so for the holidays this season I decided to travel home. It has been such a wonderful break from the every day life and being able to spend time with my family and friends. The unconditional family love is the best in my opinion, makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I have been enjoying the great food that comes with this seasons, all the Icelandic sweets and cakes, along with the crazy weather and non-stop wind. I don’t mind the crappy weather while here because I have a car to get me from place to place, but in Copenhagen I rely mostly on my bike. If this type of weather was in Copenhagen all the time I would not be such a jolly girl!
I got some great gifts this christmas, but the best one was from my best friend, who gave me two books, Jonathan Adler’s 100 Ways to Happy Chic Your Life, and Young House Love. Both books are so fantastic and different, and I am such a happy girl. Look forward to start improving my life and surroundings in 2013, inspired by these two books (along with everything else positive and inspiring in my life).
Merry Christmas to all!
The tree at my parent’s house as captured by Instagram, looks very retro and has been the same since the 80’s, love it.
