I'm going to post more these following weeks as I've got more time for now.So get ready for a lot of festive posts and me being(or trying to be,at least) a very very very festive elf.

Happy holidays!!!

Before night

As winter is here I've found myself having a hard time going to sleep at the right time.The day's gotten shorter which means that by the time I finish all the things I have to do it's already pitch dark outside and that really doesn't make me shut everything down and go to sleep,on the contrary,it makes me feel ok with staying up longer than usual.That leads to waking up feeling tired.Now,I've tried changing up things a little to help me find a new

When you love coffee...and the holidays are near

I am no expert when it comes to coffee but I do love to enjoy it from time to time,whether while having a good chat with a friend or just by myself,reading or watching a movie.Now,the time of the week when I'm having a coffee has become some kind of relaxing ritual for me,let's not talk about how happy it makes me.I remember I started with a decaf with milk which was not bad,but later I discovered that I really do have a sweet tooth when it comes to coffee as well.This meaning that I do need syrups and a lot ...

Autumn Sunday

You have no idea how happy I am now that it's officially October,one of my favourite times of the year because October means the weather starts getting colder,rain,Pumpkin Spice Lattes(I may or may not have an obsession),scarves,tea(more TEA just like I don't drink at least 3 cups/mugs a day already),pumpkin pie,seasonal scents and a time for me to make my reading habit a way of life.Doesn't that sound amazing?

I spent my last Sunday pretty much relaxing but honestly,you can feel that autumn is here just because I read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows which has to be my favorite book of the series,even though I don't usually read books the second or third time.Of course now I find myself in the very same situation after I finish one book-I hold debates in my head over which book I should read next,and let me tell you-it's not easy to win.

Tea!!!I drank way too much tea(and I regret nothing) as instead of using a mug for making tea I used a teapot(not a huge one,of course,but you could easily get 2 mugs out of that)...3 times...but that was just for the weekend(I try to convince myself).

Another part of my day was the before bedtime routine.I let myself have a hot shower and then used my The Body Shop Shea Body Butter(which I have been using for about 2 months now but the Melvita one that I had talked about in my first few posts is still my favourite and would make a better job now that winter is coming) and what I have left of my Dior Creme de Rose(I try as much as possible to save what I have left as I think/heard it's been discontinued).After that I finished my reading session and got into bed.A good day indeed.

 A random thought: Now that we're getting closer to Christmas and winter,in general I definitely feel like I'm in my type of mood and weather and simply,it means I can get more and more excited about Christmas...82 days left...

     How have you spent your Sunday?

Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua and Perfection Lumiere Velvet

I am sure you all know about these two foundations as they both have received a lot of hype,especially the first one.I am going to talk about each one separately and then compare them and share the final conclusion.

Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua-it's been around for quite a while and it is no secret that it is a favorite in the beauty world.I love this foundation-it really gives the illusion of a second skin-most of the times I've been praised for my skin I was wearing

A rainy day

Sometimes it does rain in summer but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy your day or that it's actually a bad thing.I really do enjoy rain so for me it's really not a problem although I have to think about different ways of spending my day than how I planned it beforehand in case of unexpected weather turns.You can do many things even though it might be colder outside...

Reading the classics

Taking your time to read a book is something that most of the time is essential.Moreover when you are reading classics,in my opinion.Many people can get them either being boring or life-changing and from my point of view it's just because you are reading what you like or what you don't.I have realised myself that some of the ones I've read  are very easy to understand in comparison to others,even those whom I was told I wasn't going to enjoy.You can't say you haven't been tempted to read a very famous old book just by

Wink like a cat

I have always admired the look of a very defined eye.It's the most simple way of enhancing without lots of work.But I should also mention that it takes me no more than 5 minutes to do it or half an hour,there is no in between when it comes to it.I also am new to this,having started wearing eyeliner at the beginning of the year by chance but with practice I have become better and more confident with the results.

Le Rouge

"Your lips look like wine and I want to get drunk"-quite the thing.I just couldn't get this out of my mind while going over this

I have briefly mentioned this lipstick a few posts back and said that I would talk more about it so here it is.I have had this lipstick since February and I completely fell in love with it the first time I used it.

The Rouge Dior in color 757 Souveraine is now my favorite lip product of all-together with the Creme de Rose, being the one I most reach for as it is very easy to use compared to other lipsticks.

Because we all watch TV shows

TV shows and some movies

As I've had some free time these days I found myself spending way too much time watching TV shows as well as movies.Yes,I know-I could have done something more productive but I just...no.My favorite shows at the moment are Criminal Minds,Grey's Anatomy and The Big Bang Theory.I've watched little bits of other ones but just couldn't get myself to actually continue doing it and I also have a few on my list that I want to see like Sherlock(yes,I still haven't watched this one),Scandal(watched just 1 episode but didn't have enough time so I gave up) and Two and a Half Men.

A little help

I'm not that into using a lot of products as it can take too much time and at some point it may even make things worse-I tend to remain with the basics like shampoo and conditioner when it comes to hair and a little moisturizer for my skin.

Anyway,there are two products that now I consider essentials along with the ones mentioned before.

Where words fail,music speaks

                                  

And I had no time to take photos related to this subject so here you have another photo of my cat,which you might have seen before-just for your enjoyment

 "Where words fail,music speaks"-Hans Christian Andersen

I listen to music a lot: when I'm in town,at home,when I read,write,to be short:every chance that I get.I know what kind of music I like although I'm okay with experimenting new genres a.k.a at least try to listen to them at least once;Saying this,I'm not a very big fan of very loud music.For the past few months I've been listening to some songs that I'll probably still have on repeat for a long time and so I thought I would share some of them.

Creme de Rose

 You probably know what I'm talking about already,am I the last to join the club?(probably not).Even if there might be thousands of posts regarding this product I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea expressing my love for it as well.We are to discuss(serious voice) the one and only,the lip balm of lip balms,the most amazing thing that has ever come to the rescue of our chapped lips.Ladies,it's the Dior Creme de Rose lip balm.

Through everything

I can't believe how fast this year is going by now that we've already passed the month of March.April is one of my favorite times of the year along with Christmas because it feels like the real spring has come to greet us and it's my birthday as well.This past month I've been using some new products that I've probably mentioned before-some of them I came to love some of them I know not to buy again for the purpose that I originally got them for.

To start with the good part

Spring sunshine

A delight

It's been a while since I've written down something and that's because I've been sick and then had a lot of work to finish.My schedule puts me down when it comes to writing as I'd want to now but I'll soon have my week off.

Going all natural

I was passing by this counter days ago and suddenly stopped right in front of it and started looking at every little thing that they had.I am talking about Melvita-a french company that sells bio beauty products.Once I got my impression there were a few things that caught my eye

That perfect thing #1

I have finally managed to take some pictures this past few days and you know what that means - you should prepare for lots of posts(I hope so).Anyway,in my first post of March I talked about wearing a bright pink nail polish throughout February and I thought I'd share more of that stuff,so here it it.

A run through life

I believe you can already tell that I love to read(if you've seen my previous posts).As I have discovered the joys of reading I started looking for quotes in my favorite books as well as searching through Tumblr and other sources.I know that everybody has favorite little pieces of words and if you ever take your time to just put all those quotes on a paper one by one you'd be amazed by how good some describe life and feelings,some of them even explaining incredible things.I put together a few of my favorite quotes ever-even out of songs I frequently listen to.

Nutella Hot Chocolate

Although Christmas has been over for a while now I just can't keep myself away from a sneaky little beverage sometimes.When the opportunity presents itself-I'm talking about cold weather and cozy,lazy days-I take it without any doubt.My favorite homemade piece of heaven

Everyday and everytime

Givenchy,The Body Shop(The CD sticker is from a Dior cleanser-I can't take it off),Yves Rocher

     I thought I would share with you the little bits and pieces of my daily routines and the first thing that came in to my mind was that relaxing shower in the morning during the weekend.It fits perfectly as I have recently discovered some new products that I love together with my old favorites.

    I have been using the GIVENCHY Organza delicate bath gel since December

Hello March

 

It's the month of pastels and flowers and sunshine and spring.In the end we are closer to those sunny days as we slowly get out of our houses after the snow is gone.At least,that proves right for me-I bet I won't see any snow until November.Surprisingly,I'm okay with it-and this comes from an avid winter lover so take it into consideration.

Weekend-a little story

     

      Weekend-we must all admit that's the best part of the week which can be felt as soon as you leave school or work on Friday.Yes,Friday-I already long for that moment of the week even though Sunday ain't over yet.I'll leave alone all the talk about Mondays cause we want to be happy for a little longer,right?

        Anyway,as the weekend is almost over I started thinking about what I did - this one had a quite chilled setting,at home.I took this opportunity as my last chance for a quiet moment before I go back to my weekly schedule and enjoyed it with my family(the cat included).

Clinique Moisture Surge Intense-skin fortifying hydrator REVIEW

 

       I thought it was time I post this review,now that I've been using this moisturizer for about 2 months and I can finally write a conclusion.

      First things first,this is the first moisturizer I'm actually in love with.Compared to others I have used ,it really does make a difference-my skin has never been happier.

      As I found on sephora.com :"This rich,oil-free cream-gel instantly rehydrates.Skin stays comfortably plumped,even 24 hours after you put it on."I do not have anything else to add-the first time I had this on my face I felt like drinking water in the middle of the desert-although it was December that I started using it.

Introduction-Spring

 The first ever blog post. 

            After so many thoughts and so much time,I've finally committed myself to a new chapter.It may seem random...and it may have no sense at all-honestly I believe it's better unexpected and natural.

            To begin with,this is just a little(almost blank) page of a new book.You can play with the idea in your mind all you want and then decide if you like it or not.Please give it time-give me a little time-it's a whole new experience.

           Since you are reading this,I guess you are wondering(maybe just a little bit or not at all) what is this;I can tell you that the only thing that it is- you should expect to see,read and discover- is a part of me and my life(not all of it-whew...,it's complicated enough for me...).Photos,stories,reviews,maybe even videos in the future - of anything that captures my attention,that I love,hate(very tough word ;had to be used) or feel attracted to will be here(do not let your imagination play too much,ok?).

          All in all,I hope that my vision,this blog does not disappoint you after you've taken a look and that you'll enjoy this journey whatever you feel like,wherever you are and whoever you are.

And thank you,for the minutes,seconds you've dedicated to reading this-it means a lot even if it's not something THAT important(IT IS FOR ME).
