Hello everyone, and happy December 1st! This month has a special place in my heart for multiple reasons: my birthday is in five days, then my fiancè and I celebrate our anniversary, of course, Christmas, and lastly, it's time to get ready for the new year. I feel so excited this month and can't wait for what's coming this year. 

Anywho, it could be fun to share my November favorites to wrap up the month, give you some gift ideas, and share something I love.

This post can turn into a monthly appointment, but for today I collected all the things I love and use a lot. 

Warm tea

As the temperatures drop, the daylight gets shorter, and the cozy vibe hits, I start drinking warm tea. I always buy my teas in a little local shop here in Milan, but luckily it has an online shop too. So here are my favorites. 

Caramel on fire: a lovely black tea with caramel. Perfect in the morning or if you need a boost to stay awake.

Magia di biscotto (cookie magic): it’s like drink the perfect Christmas cookie

Book

I finished a fantastic book, so escaping and engaging. Thanks to the author's talent, I loved every word because I could see the scene in my head. So, if you're looking for a great reading under the Christmas tree, this is your sign to buy it.

Make-up

My dear friend, a talented make-up artist, is helping me create an impeccable make-up edit. But I recently bought a mascara that she approved. I tested it for a long time, but I'm here to tell you that it's a game-changer. It stays up perfectly all day long and gives you length, volume, and curve. And it's waterproof. Oh wait, it's also affordable. So what are you waiting for?

I've also started wearing colored lipsticks again this past month, and I love them! My absolute favorite one is an old Maybelline red lipstick from a collaboration with Rita Ora, but I plan to expand my collection. So, stay tuned. 

That's all for now. I hope you enjoyed this wrap-up of the month. See you on Monday, December 12th.
