My Sweet Valentine
This is one for the boys ;-)
I know, you guys aren't always big fans of Valentine's day but I must admit, it is one of my favorite Holidays. So I made a little wish list us girls love getting on this beautiful day. Enjoy!
I totally adore Aubade. It's a luxury French lingerie brand and it literally means "singing a serenade to your loved one (in the morning). This brand is the perfect embodiment of love!
Get this sexy little "boîte à désir" to surprise your lady (and to enjoy yourself off course;-) ).
There a few different contents of the boxes but I prefer the lace bodysuit you can see on the left!
Available at Lingerie Sensua Boortmeerbeek (www.lingeriesensua.be), My favorite shop ;-)
Jewels: Boys you can never do wrong with some bling bling!
I personally discovered this brand LeiVanKash only recently but I love love love the these unique pieces. My personal favorite? Yes, the rose Unicorn ring!
http://www.leivankash.com for more jewelry and prices.
My Oh My I want Chocolate Pie.... Or these Leonidas chocolate hearts will do just fine ;-)
The famous chocolate heart multiplied itself especially for Valentine's day so now you can enjoy a lemon hart, a raspberry heart, a grapefruit heart and a a vanilla heart. Njom Njom, I like!
Lush is probably one of the fairest beauty brand on the market. All product are vegan and a lot of it is hand made at the shop so everything is fresh. I love when the make these limited editions during the Holidays and for Valentine's day. So pamper your girl, get the water running in the bath tub, put the Love Locket bath bomb in, throw some rose petals next to the bath, lights hundreds of candles, pour out the champagne and YES you make us very HAPPY ;-)
You can find lush currently in Gent and Brussels (Antwerp shop opens again on 21st of February)
www.lush.com
And last but not least FLOWERS.
FLOWERS are always a good idea. Personal tip: If she rides her bike to work every morning, decorate her bike with real (or fake) flowers. She will be smiling all day long!

HAPPY NAILS WORKSHOP by ELFI DE BRUYN
OH MY
It's been a while.
I've been kinda busy lately, work, fun, friends,... that kinda stuff!
But there was one thing I wanted to share with you. I went to this mazing "pimp-my-happy-nails-'till -they- are-even-happier" workshop hosted by the lovely Miss Elfi de Bruyn. I've known her for a while now and she is the perfect example of "dreams come true". In November she brought out this amazing nail art book called "Happy Nails" and she was in every newspaper, television program, online blog,... for the last few months. So I decided to take my not-so-handy-hands to one of her workshops at Wasbar Antwerp. And I had a blast! Not only did I get to discover 5 easy technics to pimp my nails I also met other girls eager to learn about nail art.
We got to discover following technics:
* Dotting: easy as 1,2,3,...
* Ombre: two colors blend into each other (Yes like the hair style)
* Galaxy: one of my favorite's! The galaxy and stars on your nails!
* Leopard: raaaaaauuuuuuuwww!!!
* Glitter: use a base color and make your own little glitter mixture for instant glam!
If you like to learn more about these technics, Elfi's Book HAPPY NAILS is still available online on www.lannoo.be/happynails or in your bookstore!
AND SOME GREAT NEWS, HAPPY NAILS 2 WILL BE COMING THIS FALL!!!!!!

Made by Mina's Perfect Christmas list! Part I
Don't know what to buy for your girl-or boyfriend?
I made a little list for you guys... thing that I would love to get or love to give, if I had a boyfriend ;-)
Here it goes...
n° 1
I totally adore this book. It's filled with easy tips and tricks to turn your nail into sensational eye-catchers for every occasion.
P.S. buy some trendy new nail polish colors for your girl so she can get started right away
n°2
If you dig sneakers ( think Supra, Puma , Keds, Pony,...) you have to visit Fast Forward Shop in Mechelen ( Borzestraat 38). I personally love the KOMONO accessories and my all time favorite are these Dreyfuss Clear sunglasses. WANT!!
Sunglasses are always a good idea, boys, even in winter time!
Order online at http://fast-forward-shop.myshopify.com
n°3
Why buy boring socks you want to hide in your shoes and pull your pants over?! Socks should be fun and funky so give your girlfriend these cool Sock You Socks. Visit www.wewillsockyou.com to buy them online and make your girl look fly!
n° 4
Winter, summer, spring,... I <3 tea. As you all might know Cafe Couture exists for a while now but since this month they opened a shop at Hopland, Antwerp. So is you want a warming gift under your Christmas tree, get some of these hip canned tea blends with cute accessories.
n° 5
One of the most important thing in my bag... my headphone! I drive by bike all the time and I can't live without some music... Currently I own a baby pink Sony headphone but my heart beats even faster when I see this Frends Layla Rose Gold headphone pass by ;-)
