A Little Christmas Tease…

I promised myself I wouldn’t go full Christmas mode too early…
…but honestly? I’m already halfway there. And after this photoshoot? I’m gone.
So consider this your first tiny dose of Christmas vibes from me –⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ because trust me, there’s so much more coming. I’m taking it slow, giving it to you piece by piece, so we can all enjoy this magical build-up together.

Ever since I was little, I dreamed of a proper Christmas photoshoot –⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ the kind you see in movies.
A decorated tree glowing with warm lights, a fireplace crackling in the background, soft blankets, golden ornaments, the whole hygge fantasy… and someone kind, gentle, patient behind the camera. Someone who makes you feel safe and beautiful.
This year, I finally got it.

Thanks to my lovely friend Aneta, one of the sweetest souls and, honestly, one of the most talented photographers in Prague. I still can’t believe how perfectly she captured the energy I wanted –⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ soft, warm, a little dreamy… and a little “Zuzi”.

I’m warning you… it’s starting. And I’m starting to feel Christmas. 🎁✨

Why I Love This Time of Year (And Why I’m Not Rushing It)

There’s still time until Christmas – which is the best part.

This little window before December hits? It’s like pre-magic. We’re all balancing deadlines, plans, stress, cold weather… but there’s that tiny whisper in the air reminding you that something lovely is coming.

✨ take a deep breath,
✨ enjoy the small sparkly things,
✨ and let yourself look forward to something – even if it’s just a mug of hot chocolate waiting for you at home.

So let this be your reminder to:

✨ slow down.

Life feels softer when we allow ourselves these small romantic rituals.

**Fun Things to Do Before Christmas Comes**

If you want the vibes to trickle in slowly, here are a few ideas:

🎄 Start a tiny ritual for yourself – a morning tea, a specific playlist, a candle you light only in December.
✨ Make a “things I’m excited for” list – Christmas markets, movie nights, baking, or doing nothing at all.
📸 Take photos of the everyday moments – the grey sky, your scarf, your coffee… the small things become memories.
🌟 Do one kind thing for someone – it doesn’t have to be big. Even a message counts.
☕ Plan one cozy evening just for you – no work, no pressure, just warmth.
💌 Write a letter (or message) to someone you miss – before the Christmas rush hits.
