Some recent favorites


Yankee candle ELEVATION – Sweet orange spice
I love the design of new collection. It looks much more elegant and sophisticated than candles from standard line. Before I went to candle shop I had some other scents on my mind, but it turned out that I don’t like them at all. At my surprise I loved something from new Christmas collection - sweet orange spice. I’m not a fan of oranges at all, but there’s something else that caught my attention: nutmeg. I wouldn’t describe this scent as sweet, but just as spicy with some freshness of fruit. This scent is very strong. I can smell the candle in my room without flaming it. It’s perfect for this season. This will last me for a long time.



Cat mug
My boyfriend bought me this mug and the candle I mentioned before. I saw it already before on line, so I wanted to check it out in person. It is at the same time so simple and cute. I own quite a few mugs, but after some time, I wanted something new and different, just to make my coffee/tea time a bit nicer. It’s great when cute cat things makes you happy.



Drink me chai latte – spiced
Chai is new discovery for me. I tried to drink regular tea with milk before, but I didn’t like it. After reading a lot of positive reviews I wanted to try something new. Also I got tired of my regular afternoon coffee day after day. This is super sweet and Christmassy spicy at the same time, but you can make it less ˝strong˝, because it’s not divided on portions. You can also add extra milk to mild the taste. Anyway this is my sweet comforter in the foggy afternoons. Although it doesn’t contain caffeine, the amount of sugar in it can keep you away if you drink this too late in the evening.

Colorful weekly planner
I like to plan thing (maybe even too much) and set my goal the old fashioned way, to put them on paper. Hand written things are more powerful to me. On computer I can delete or change stuff all the time, but here my changes are noticeable. Anyway I wanted to buy something like this for some time and was very excited when I found my colorful planning papers in bookstore. I like that there is no date on it, so it won’t go to waste if I don’t use it all the time. Planning is fun!


Star bracelet
I bought this bracelet to myself after I did my professional exam a few weeks ago and I wear it every day since. At first I was in doubt if bracelet is something I would wear regularly. I wear my earrings all the time and I’m used to wear a ring. I never owned a gold bracelet before. This is thin and more minimalistic, appropriate for every occasion. Star to me looks cute, somehow fun, but not too girly or childish.  This is in some way my new luck bringing star.

Wishes

  It is time for another wish list or as I like to say it – things that recently caught my attention. Honestly, this is just a small fraction, but I’m too embarrassed to everything out there. The center of the list represents a linen lounge shirt from Intimissimi . I bought one last year and I am super pleased with it. It keeps me cool during these crazy tropical nights and feels very comfortable. I also very much enjoy their silk shirts, but the buttons are simply too annoying sometimes … Now, let’s go up and right to Dior. Another blush? Yes, please! Dior yet again reformulated their famous Backstage Rosy Glow blushes and added some new shades. I always desperately wanted to buy the lavender one, but it was not available in our country. But now something completely different caught my attention – muted, peachy, beige shade – Toffee . I swatched it already and it is pretty, but packed with gold glitter, so I need to try it again to be fully convinced. Smooth&Glow...

Dior Forever Glow Maximizer - Peachy

Apparently this year I have been obsessed with highlighters and blushes because it is time to review another one – Forever Glow Maximizer by Dior in the shade PEACHY. If the Star Glow Filter is very subtle, this is not. It is not tacky and can be beautifully blended, but it’s a real highlighter that serves its purpose. Peachy – light, golden peach with gold and pink shimmer. On my light skin tone, I often wear this as a blush, because I think it works better on me like this. It gives that slight amount of warmth to my face and a subtle golden sheen. It can be built up, but it can also look too much. Now when I’m getting a bit darker I love to put it on top of my bronzer or/and use it as an eyeshadow to achieve a light monochromatic summer look.  Indoor light Sunlight This is a great and versatile product, but I still prefer powder versions of Dior highlighters, they are just easier to work with and blend more effortlessly. I think that with liquid highlighters you always need to be...
