Snow in Madrid

February began with this magical scene.

If you live in a country where it usualy snows during all winter, this may sound stupid to you. But when you live in a city where rarely snows (pollution, not cold enough, etc.) and only every few years the snow congeals enough to actually enjoy it, it feels like your dreams have come true!

In the last photo you can see a very frozen me not prepared at all for a snow day because it all began snowing randomly around 9 or 10 am and I was already in class.

I hope you liked it and don't forget to let me what you think on the comments. Thank you 😘

Welcome back!

Well, hello everyone! How's life? I know I've been MIA for a year and a half (and almost two years since I've properly written) but life just got in the way and I couldn't find enough time to properly write here.

Between finishing my degree (and its crazy timetable, exams, class work and my intership), my extracuricular activities and try to find some time to family and friends in the middle of all that; I just had to stop the blog for a while till I had enough time. I absolutely know that other people are much bussier than me with work, kids, sick relatives, studies and other things and manage to do it all (I don't know how and I'd love to know so they can teach me please) but I didn't and I'm sorry.

I also missed writing here and put my thoughts into words, it's quite therapeutic actually; because it's totally diferent having all this ideas in your head than properly make a readable and understandable text. Also in case you don't know English is not my first language it's Spanish so it's a way of keeping up with my learning process and don't forget it (that's what happen when you don't use/speak/write a language).

To make up for it, throught out all this month of december, I'll post my trips and holidays highlights from the time I've been off (which are quite a few and I know you'll love them as much as I did). I've been quite lucky to be able to travel more than usually and I know that, that's why I'm so excited to show you all the photos and moments I could capture.

(Here is a small clue of what's coming, I know I'm a bad person hehe 😜)

I hope you liked it and don't forget to let me what you think on the comments. Thank you 😘

Cosy and relaxed december evening

December is here and that means the temperatures have drop out and it's colder, even in Spain! Here it's cold too, maybe not as cold as in Germany, Norway and all those places (like -154964ºC) but here it depends where are you (it can be so much different) in the passed week we hace -1ºC at 7am in Madrid. Here the coldest months are are January, February and sometimes March, how is it where you are? I'd love to know.

With the lower temperatures jumpers, hot drinks and soft blankets come out. I'm more of a good-weather kind of girl but I also love cuddle and cosy things. A chilly winter day with a blue sky and the sun on your face, that's hard to overcome (or am I the only one who think that?)

On those early dark evenings (it's pitch black at only 6pm!) I like to put a onesie and cosy quilted socks on, take off my make up and a mesy bun to take my hair out of my face. I make myself a cup of hot tea (I love the english breakfast or black on, how about you?) and cuddle on the sofa with a really soft blanket. Then it depends, sometimes I read a magazine and other times I live to watch a film or series on netfix (and yes, we finally have it in Spain and I couldn't be happier!)

I hope you liked it and don't forget to let me what you think on the comments. Thank you :) xx
