Mince pies for Christmas Eve

This year has been quite hectic for me and to be honest, I can't believe

Packing and Travelling- London- Winter Edition

The DLR in London

I have quite a busy month of December and a very important thing for me is my trip to London. Knowing that I'm not able to over-pack and that I have to go through airport security I chose to pack wisely. Here is how I did it:

Essentials:

this is more of a must list of things you need when travelling

• Telephone and Carriers: You need to speak to people home so you take your phone with you. Ok, just be sure to check what carriers there are in the respective country as I suppose you don't want a few hundred dollars worth of telephone bills. Also, make sure you have an adapter.

Time and everything else in between

Sick-a winter routine?

I managed to catch some kind of a cold these days-did not plan to.And now I have to endure and embrace my full recovery in a day routine-I don't even know if it's working but I hope I'll be able to go out tomorrow.Catching a cold is one of those things I remember to be awful only when I have it.I guess I'm not the only one enjoying the holidays with a sore throat so I thought
