TEA TIME EVERYONE!
Good afternoon fellow bloggers! Another week, another weekend,  another pile of homework! But we'll make it right?
just made a hot cup of cinammon-apple tea. Lately that is the only way that helps me cope with endless homework. I am a loyal tea fan, and will always be one! This is the article i am working on for my English class and i'm telling you: regardless that it has to do with chocolate, is boring as hell!


Yesterday, mom and Kate had birthday! I baked a few plain vanilla cupcakes (as Katy wanted!) and brought them to school, with a proud pink candle on top! Unfortunately i couldn't make the chocolate fudge cake i told you on my last post 'cause i didn't have enough time-but someday i will!promise

that is my new chocolate cookie necklace which i completely love
chocolate truffles i made on Sunday
my new brown bag (eternal love)
Lately i have been spending the nights tucked in my blue warm blanket watching movies, eating cereal. This completely makes my day-even the school nights-. Instead of watching silly series on TV, i watch a fav movie and then head immediately to bed! 
So, on Monday night, i watched Made of Honor (for the 35th time) !
all i'm saying is that it doesn't have to be a weekend to watch movies in bed!!!
Have to go now and get ready for an outing!
Wish you all an amazing night
P.S: and remember that a cup of tea along with your best friends and chocolate cookies can always put a smile on your face, even on the really bad days.

Hello dear readers--countdown to Christmas: 41 days left (according to my new diary)
How was your week? Mine has been surprisingly good although i think i might have broken the washing machine (!). So, i had a lot of homework to finish esp yesterday and the clock just seemed really angry with me (yelling at me actually)But i managed it and now i am posting.
I spent the afternoon yesterday watching Gossip Girl and browsing my cookbooks for an inspiring recipe! I'll go for truffles!

isn't it just amazing? (i'm thinking of making it for my mom's b-day on Saturday)

On Monday i went out with my bf and we hit the stores! I bought a lovely Tea Party pendant i have been wanting for so long
i am in love with it (the cupcake pendant is a gift i got for my b-day)
i also got a new scrapbook and i am so excited!!! I am planning on making the chocolate truffles recipe  tonight! I can't wait but first i gotta finish homewooooooork! (argh)
Starbucks put the new Christmas cups! That means Christmas is right down the corner and I couldn't be happier!
I wish you all a lovely afternoon

Good morning everyone! I love Sundayyy and today was a great morning. Watched the House Of Mouse with my dad along with some nutella toast (my brother's special toast!). yeah, so i should be probably studying Latin for tomorrow's test now but i had so many things in my mind and wanted to share with you guys. So, i do know, that loooong text bores/ scares/ makes you click the x button up on the right. But, i am still posting. Even if you don't read (offenses not taken) enjoy the pictures!

What did you all do for Halloween? Our gathering was so fun! Daphne prepared a green-ish jelly with jelly warms and I, a chocolate suffle. For dinner we ate mom's cheese suffle. Jo dressed up as a witch but the rest of us didn't (lame)! Daphne put on some scary make up and then we watched a Halloween thriller (Trick or Treat). It's such a pity we don't celebrate Halloween cause its such a fun night. Although we didn't find a pumpkin we made it work and it felt like Halloween night!

preparing the chocolate for the suffle (sorry no pictures from the result!)

Well, yesterday while i was getting ready for dinner with friends, i was watching Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, one of the coolest movies ever, right? I noticed a lot of glaring mistakes, that probably a little kid wouldn't, but still. In the beginning it says that the five tickets had been sent to all parts of the world and it shows specifically Tokyo and Marrakesh (where people would trade goats for four WONKA bars!) But, none from those places won a ticket. In fact, all of the kids where from the US. Ok except the German boy Augustus but this just doesn't make sense. Also, after this boy fell on the chocolate waterfall...ew! I wouldn't want to buy a Wonka bar with Augustus Gloop flavor! And Willy Wonka says that none is allowed to ever touch the chocolate  waterfall. (you never brake Willy Wonka's rules!) The whole point of the movie in my opinion is absolutely amazing and makes it officially one of the top movies on my list. And of course the best line:
Mike Tivi: Why is everything in this room completely pointless?
Charlie Bucket: Candy doesn't have to have a point. That's why it's candy...

all of these kids got what they deserved in the end, hurray! I hated you all!
LATELY: i have been spending my time listening to music and making Christmas Lists (!!!!), ok and studying a lot! I've been making so many plans for next year and for College...its going to be legen....wait for it..-dary!!
Also, i am craving so much for a trip, somewhere, anywhere. But if i got to choose, it would be def Paris! yes, again!
Ok. so people hold on tight cause Christmas is almost here (around 60 days or smth)
and i will be posting so many things in a couple-a-days! I have so many lists and papers and gotta organize my little desk and make new lists for IKEA  (jo told me yesterday, Christmas stuff is out!).Got so many things to prepare and buy a new diary. I'll be also hosting a Christmas party at my place and it has to be amazing!
Oh, almost forgtot! Here is my apple tart i told you about on my last post! It turned out to be delicious!

kisses to all of you out there xxx
