Mini personal reading challenge for December

Because I am a very lazy reader (but enthusiastic book shopper) and because I’ll be having some days off in December, I decided to set myself a mini goal – book reading challenge.

But I need to stay real, two books (one and a half if I’m being completely honest) is more than enough for this time. I might set greater goals for 2022.


My first choice is: Blowing my way to the top by OUAI founder Jen Atkin (my boyfriend adores the title)

I already started reading this during my summer break and loved it so far. It is motivational and full of advice and fun facts for future entrepreneurs, business owners, and others who like to dream big. I believe it will be a great reading before setting my New Year’s resolutions and maybe even some business decisions.


Second book: Harvey and me – A mothers love by Katie Price

I am definitely not a fan of Katie and her actions (from past or recent), but I admire her as a mother. I watched some videos with her and her children, especially with her son Harvey and she convinced me immediately. Harvey was born with Prader-Willi syndrome, autism and also has some serious problems with his vision. They have that special relationship and despite all of his troubles, she raised him into a very polite and sensible young man. I have high expectations for this book and I hope that her love for Harvey will be reflected from every single page.

 

If everything goes by plan, I’ll do the reviews of both books in January.

Hope you’ll read something great during your time off!

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...
