The Christmas Tag

I saw this tag on Love from Be and I just had to do it myself! I am getting quite excited about Christmas so I thought I'd make this tag my first Christmas related blog post.

1. What is your favourite Christmas Movie/s? 

I think I would say Home Alone. I remember it was on TV every year during Christmas. I watched it with my family and we always laughed a lot - it is funny and sweet! My second favourite is The Holiday. I think it has everything a movie needs - romance, music, a bit of comedy and an amazing cast. Of course it is a holiday film and it all happens around Christmas!

2. Do you open your presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning?

In Estonia we open presents on Christmas eve but as I have lived in England for 4 years now I think it is good to go with tradition this time and open them the next morning!

3. Do you have a favourite Christmas memory?

I remember when I was a kid I used to put a slipper or sock on the window ledge and leave it there from beginning of December until Christmas. My mum told me and my brother that when we are good kids, Santa's litte helpers will bring us something nice during the night. In the morning when I woke up, first thing I would do would be to run to the window and look inside my slipper - I was super happy when I found a candy or chocolate!
4. Favourite festive food?

In Estonia the traditional Christmas meal includes pork, sauerkraut and blood sausage - I am not a big fan of any of them. In UK they eat roast turkey, which again I am not very keen on as the turkey meat is too dry for me. 
Tristan and I both love lamb (with mint jelly) and roast potato - I think this is and will be our favourite Christmas meal. 

5. Favourite Christmas gift?

 I can't choose! I have loved every single Christmas present I have got so far!

6. Favourite Christmas scent?

I like the scent of gingerbread. 
 
7. Do you have any Christmas Eve traditions?
 
Tristan and I don't really have a Christmas Eve tradition. I think we just like to stay in and have a quiet evening - cook something nice for dinner, watch something on the TV and spend time together. 
When I lived at home in Estonia we always had family and friends over. Me and my mum would be busy the whole day (of course my brother and dad helped out too!) - cooking and baking, cleaning the house and setting the dinner table. In the end when everything was ready we moved to our favourite part of the evening - dressing up, getting our make up on and hair done! It was really fun and relaxing after such a busy day.

8. What tops your tree?

Nothing! We are more interested in lights and just decorating with baubles. I have already looked up some lovely DIY ideas I might use for our tree this year!

9. As a kid what was the one (crazy, wild, extravagant) gift you always asked for but never received?

I was never a very demanding kid with gifts. I was happy with everything. A box of candies totally made my day!

10. What's the best part about Christmas for you?

I love everything about Christmas - fairy lights, snow, wrapping and unwrapping the presents, Christmas markets, cooking and baking, drinking something hot and Christmassy, visiting family, warm clothes and Christmas jumpers, candles and my days off with Tristan.

    I have recently been tagged in this as well and am SO looking forward to doing it just because I love, love LOVE Christmas! :) I love your answers to these questions; I also adore the smell of gingerbread and Home Alone films are just the best at this time of year! :)

Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Guide - Starting again

The last time I posted about my workout regime was in November last year when I started the Kayla Itsines BBG healthy eating plan and 12 week workout sessions. I think I got up to week 4 before I lost my motivation because of illness and Christmas. My friend Marianne and I started BBG again on the 5th of January with thousands of other girls and joined #thekaylamovement and #kaylasarmy to share our journey along this painful but exciting path.  You can read my first post about the BBG programme here as I am explaining a bit more on how I 'found' Kayla and how the training works.  I have done BBG for 5 weeks now (the first 2 weeks we did pre-training) and I'm feeling quite positive. I've not seen much progress myself - I still have my weak areas like tummy, bum and thighs. I do feel much stronger though! I'm doing all of the workouts properly, I have strength in my legs and arms - it is quite easy to do 10 push ups and continue with triceps and mountain clim...

Esimene trimester ehk esimesed kolm kuud \\ beebi number 2

Tere blogi, Jah, üllatus, üllatus, ma olen rase! Esimene trimester on läbi ja teen küsimused-vastused varjandis blogipostituse. Ausalt öeldes ei olnud mul just kõige kergem algus- jõetus, väsimus, iiveldamine ja oksendamine kestsid 6. nädalast kuni 13. nädalani. Ei tuleks vist eriti huvitav postitus, kui ma peaks kirjutama, kuidas ma kõik need nädalad voodis veetsin ja mitu korda päevas vetsupotti kallistasin, nii siis vastan pigem mõnedele esimese trimestriga seotud küsimustele.   Kuidas sa avastasid, et sa oled rase ja kuidas sa Tristanile ütlesid? Ühel reede hommikul ärkasin varem, et trenni teha. Jooksin jooksulindi peal umbes 30 minutit ja terve selle aja tundsin end imelikult. Umbes 5 minutit enne jooksmise lõppu tuli mul üles mega suur röhitsus ja natuke maomahla. See tunne oli nii tuttav! Tagasi tuppa tulles tegin veel Tristanile nalja, et olen vist rase. Terveks päevaks jäi see mõte mind kummitama ja ma ütlesin Tristanile, et peaks igaks juhuks rasedustesti tegema. Jä...

10 things to do in Rockhampton

I have still a couple more posts coming up about my Australian trip. I hope they are an interesting read! After Brisbane , we flew to Tristan's hometown Rockhampton where we spent the remaining 2 weeks of our holiday. Rockhampton is a small city in Queensland with a population of around 62,000 people. Rockhampton experiences over 300 days of sunshine each year, which means it is a good place for tourism and outdoor activities. Known as the "Beef Capital of Australia" there is much more to do than just sit in the pub and eat burgers! I have made a list of 10 things you can do around Rockhampton. 1. Rockhampton Kershaw Botanical Gardens are a well visited attraction in Rockhampton. The park has many paved walking paths, rest areas, drinking fountains and beautiful scenery with many palms and tropical flowers.   2. Quay Street in Rockhampton is full of beautiful architecture and old buildings. The city centre (main street) is not very big but I think we spent at ...
