Folk(ses), we are ready to kick off the festive season! As I mentioned couple of days ago, I had planned on a grand giveaway for the lovely people of Cologne before moving to Berlin, as a goodbye and thank you present, but got snowed under moving chores and the giveaway never happened. So, I am back with the giveaway with two important updates – it has been upgraded with even more goodies and there will be not one, not two but four giveaways! Happier reader = happier blogger!

Now, why do bloggers host giveaways? Yes, I love you and it makes me really happy to see you enjoy goodies that I have sent your way, but there is something else. I need a little extra support. You see, Instagram and I have been at odd’s ends with each other. The algorithm refuses to display my content, and insists that I advertise. I know this because I have access to Instagram Insights, which shows exactly how many people did it show my content to. And you will be surprised that the average is 3.15%! Which, to be honest, is rubbish. So, I need your help.

I have added support options in the steps to enter the giveaway. They are optional, as I do not want you to do it only to win something, but if you actually think my content is worth more than 3% reach.

What does the gift box include?

Everything that you see in the picture above. It includes:

• Grace & Stella Anti Wrinkle + Energizing Under Eye Masks (x3)
• too cool for school Egg Cream Sheet Mask
• KIKO Velvet Passion Matte Lipstick in Poppy Red
• Guhl Repair & Balance Shampoo (250ml)
• Mixa Reparierende Body Lotion (250ml)
• The Rituals of Happy Budha Foaming Shower Gel (200ml)
• MyLittleBox Interchangeable Handbag Straps
• L’Occitane Immortelle Reset Serum (5ml)
