12 Days of Giveaways Day 5: $20 in Custom Chocolate Bars

Ah, for day 5 of the 12 Days of Giveaways we have Luchessa from Beauty Expression by Luchessa. This girl is seriously fantastic, and you should check out her blog especially if you like beauty, travel, and good friendship! Plus, she lives in Germany-how cool is it to have a friend in Germany?

How do you usually celebrate the holidays?

As for the most families, it's about quality time during the holidays. I make sure to spend as much of it as possible with my loved ones. We do a lot of cooking and baking and yes - sometimes even singing. Each year there are a few new Pixar or Disney movies in my house, that we watch all together. My favorite thing during those movies, is to look at my dad's reactions, when Sulley and Mike do something funny, to see how his face lightens up and he start laughing. It's just the best feeling ever. Maybe that is what the holidays are about?!

Are you a Black Friday/Cyber Monday shopper?

If so, what are you planning to shop for those days this year?

I have to say, as i live in Germany - we don't really have such things as Black Friday/Cyber Monday here, but there are definitely many pre-Christmas sales going on. When it's something bigger, that i want to buy, i usually do it over the web. So i guess, i would be a Cyber Monday girl, if i had the chance to?! This year it's probably going to be a Kindle reader for my dad (don't tell him) and a Clarisonic Mia for my mom (she doesn't have a clue).

What is your favorite holiday food?

I really like all the baking, that's going on during the holiday season. I love getting together with my mom to make a strudel or chocolate-cranberry brownies. But also all the cookie baking with my friends is always a fun and messy happening. This year i'm actually going to have a sleepover with the baked stuffed apples (does anyone else love them as much as i do?) and some Harry Potter movies with my besties.

What's at the top of your holiday wishlist this year?

Something unexpected like a Wide Angle+Macro Camera Lens for my Samsung. I'd really love to make good marco pictures for my Instagram & Blog. And something expected (as i'm a beauty & lifestyle blogger) - Lorac the Royal Lip Lustre Cream Collection & The Zoya Wishes Collection Sampler.

Are you planning any awesome posts on your blog this holiday season?

But of course I'm planning some exciting content for my readers. Some "Follow me around the city" type of posts, including some Christmas market fun. But also several nail art tutorials - inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's stories & tales, a holiday card swap, as well as some other tips and tricks.

What is our favorite thing about blogging?

The best thing about blogging for me is the interaction with my readers and supporters. Over the time I've been blogging, i got to meet many wonderful and inspiring people from all around the world - each one which their own background and stories. I was able to learn from them and got motivated by - which shouldn't be underestimated at all. I'm very thankful for that experience and hope i can bring that type of enthusiasm in somebody else's life as well.
