Be romantic!

Do you also get annoyed by the mood messages of your so-called friends on Facebook that for example just got out of the shower and are now about to use their raspberry body lotion or by the ones that just put two sugar cubes and some diet milk in their coffees? Seriously, why do those people think I could be interested in a single one of those details about their lives? Well correct, maybe because they are my friends on Facebook. And you are totally right if you advice me here to just get rid of them. But as much as their ‘mood messages’ annoy me sometimes, once in a while they can be just as delightful and inspirational…

Just recently, for instance, a true facebook acquaintance of mine (I maybe talked to that guy twice in real life, but thanks to Facebook, I now get daily updates about what time he eats breakfast…) had the following mood message: “I haven’t had to listen to ‘Last Christmas’ up until now and I hope this won’t change this year…” Not that this was too inspirational, but it made busy Ela at least have a halt for a second and think of the absolutely adorable time that was going to stop her from running through life soon: Christmas Holidays! And for this very second there on Facebook, I decided to ignore the fact that I hadn’t shopped a single Christmas gift for my beloved ones, but instead concentrated on the feeling which only the sheltered moments of Christmas Eves with your family can offer you… Believe me, it felt brilliant!

Well, I become a hopeless romantic when it comes down to Christmas. This includes not only traditional Christmas dishes (since I’m Swiss, its Raclette) but also huge golden gifts with enormous ribbons and of course an outfit that makes me eclipse all the shiny gift boxes…This year, I am convinced that I will steal the limelight from all of them with my Quiksilver Women’s Holiday Collection Marianne dress. Maybe to go with a golden Alice band including a glossy bow on the top to make the gift boxes fade even more?

Well, let’s stop it! The golden hairband is definitely too much of the Christmas romance for me as well. Either way, I think I’m going to listen to ‘Last Christmas’ these days soon… Call it corny! But hey, it will take another year till Christmas, right?

So let’s just be romantic and merry Christmas to all of you!

Ela (hopelessly glittering already…)
