Christmas is around the corner!

The holiday season is here! FORUM is decorated and the cafes have started offering glögi! Glögi is the Finnish word for ‘mulled wine’ which is usually wine red combined with cinnamon and almonds and typically served warm. It is the traditional drink of Christmas and one of my favourites!

Apart from the X-mas vibes around Forum, stores have started getting ready for the holiday season. New products have arrived at Yves Rocher! The Fleur de Noël collection for 2011 features Charming Spices candles that bring the spirit and warmth of Christmas to your home as well as fragrance sticks and home fragnances that can create a warm and romantic atmosphere during the cold winter nights.

This is an excellent idea for X-mas present for your friends! Also, I got a lovely hand cream from Yves Rocher because my hands are so dry during winter. The Fruit de Noël limited edition handcream is extremely moisturising, very light and with a sweet scent derived from the combination of orange, pergamont and graprfruit oils.

Lastly, another limited edition product for this season, is a collection of 3 mini-soaps in an ecological package that could be an ideal choice for a gift to a little or big girl! :)
