Happy Monday!

I feel so bad, because I was too lazy to write posts for my blog. I recently bought some really great products and I enjoy using them, so it would be great to share my thoughts, opinions and experiences with you. Another big mistake I’m making - I don’t eat healthy enough, don’t exercise and spend too much time in front of computer or on my phone. The only positive thing is that I didn’t gain weight yet, but that might change soon if I don’t stop overeating. I was on such a good way and had my diet almost completely under control. I mean it wasn’t perfectly balanced and junk food free, but I’m not searching for perfection. My goal is to eat as healthy as possible, stop that horrible habit of overeating, exercising regularly and maintain my weight. And yes, to write my blog posts. Maybe it will sound funny, but I miss writing my personal diary. Sometimes you just can’t talk to your friends or loved ones, but there’s always a sheet of paper available. Paper won’t laugh or ...

First impressions

Caudalie face detox mask My face is tired from the sun and hot temperatures, although I wasn’t exposing it too much. It is also quite oily and full of tiny zits – so annoying. I accidently find out about this detoxing mask on the You Tube just before going to the mall (how appropriate). After reading additional reviews I instantly knew that I need to try it. Mask comes in a handy tube with a stylish wooden cap. I hate the ones for one use only, because there’s always too much in it. You need to apply it in thin layer on the clean face and leave it for 10-15 minutes. Tube contains 75ml, which will last me for a long time. It’s a thick constancy, so you don’t need a lot. This mask supposed to deeply clean your skin from toxins, help to shrink your pores, reduce dullness and absorb all impurities. Ingredients supposed to be very good; Caudalie is a famous brand with high quality natural products. It’s pink/red from the pink clay in it. You can feel it when it’s drying on your face; it ...

Movie night: Bridget has a baby

Last night, my two friends and I went to Novo mesto to see the new Bridget Jones movie – Bridget has a baby. This was my girl's ˝night˝ out after a long time and I was super excited for days. I even planned my outfit, including nail polish and perfume – this sounds so desperately I know, but I rarely go out. My ˝life˝ mostly happens at work, regular trips to shopping malls and of course visits to my boyfriend in Ljubljana. I usually wear jeans, my favorite shoes are Sketchers. This year I promised myself that I will invest in more elegant clothes, no more girly T-shirts and childish patterns. Ok, I got carried away. Our little trip was short, but awesome. Firstly we went to a bookstore to buy some presents for upcoming family birthdays. We could just stay there forever admiring nicely designed book covers and playing with children’s books. Who say that men are visual creatures? We are obsessed with shiny things and we just want to buy everything possible. Then we went on t...

New(er) stuff

We’re already approaching the middle of September and I already have some new stuff that I’m dying to show you. Just to show – reviews will come later. Luckily, the next paycheck will come soon, because lately money just flies from me. I will need to set my limits. Yankee Candle – Oak&Ebony candle I am guilty of buying another Yankee Candle. But I must admit that this is my favorite smell so far. It brings back some childhood memories. I used to collect oaks, leaves and pine cones and then the whole room smelled so beautifully – just like this candle. This scent calms me. It’s not strong, but it’s present in the room. My room is smaller and candles sadly quickly give me headaches. I bought just a sample candle to try it out, but I will definitely buy a larger one. I just hope it won’t be too strong. Oak and Ebony scent is from newest Harvest collection for fall 2016. Yves Saint Lauren – Black Opium Nuit Blanche Now I’m apparently between that 70% of the young wom...

Autumn selection

Yaaaaay we're in September and that means, that fall is unofficially here. Say goodbye to sweating for the whole day, restless nights and mosquito bites. I had enough of staring at tons of pictures from holiday on my Facebook wall. Like we all don’t know how the sea side looks like. We spend too much time and money for summer. Diets, clothes, products… like that we live just for the summer break. Does anyone prepare for autumn? I’m looking forward to new seasons of TV shows, upcoming movies, Duchess of Cambridge on tour to Canada (yes that’s right, but only I’m curious about her clothes), cold evenings with burning my favorite candles, soups for lunch, hot baths, walks in nature and cuddling under the blanket with my boyfriend. The rain is still romantic now, because I was missing it. I’m considering replacing my ice cream treats with waffles and cakes – that will be fun! And I also need to start working out again. These are my highlights of colder days.  I admit, I was th...

Brow chat

I must admit I got a bit carried away, but just a bit. A few months ago, I said that I absolutely hate this thick brow trend and I still do. But I started to like polished (groomed and fixed) brows, just a tiny bit thicker which are a lightly emphasized, usually with a pencil. Got the picture? I got rid of my Essence clear brow gel, which became just horrible and was doing absolutely no good for me. It was like mild paper glue, turning into visible white rolls when dried, which stuck on and around my brows. Just useless. Then I discovered brow wax, which by my opinion looks better then gel. Gel ˝shrinks˝ brows too much, so they can look unnatural, some even gave wet look. Firstly I was very tempted to try the one from Anastasia Beverly Hills, but then I read on several beauty blogs, that there’s a good dupe for it from Milani. I ordered Milani’s clear shaping wax on ebay, since it’s not sold in my country (what a surprise).  I’ve got mixed feelings about it. It gives my brows ...
