J'adore Paris

Everyone loves Paris.
It's just one of those places that
you should visit at least once in your lifetime.

I'm lucky to know Paris quite well
(I used to date a French guy)
and I can also speak French
so I absolutely enjoy going there.
Especially in autumn.

When I saw these clothes and
jewellery, it just made me smile =)

Currently listening to:

Does anybody else heart Paris?

IN's and OUT's

IN's:

-Getting back to shape
During winter I tend to gain weight so during
the last week I decided to do something about it.
I try to exercise everyday. I'm not a gym person
but I enjoy running and practising yoga at home.
I also have Wii Fit- although it's not super serious,
it brings the variety.

-Living on my own
I've always shared a flat. Either with flatmates
or a boyfriend. For the first time ever I live on my own.
I'm not gonna lie- it was rough at first (it is still sometimes)
but I started to appreciate it. For once it's about what
I want. I learn how to be happy with myself.
Cos if I'm not happy with myself,
I will never be able to be happy with somebody else.
Amen=)

-Eating more reasonably
I don't call it a diet (this word makes me go: ewww lol)
I eat more veggies & fruits, control my portions
and reduce the junk food. I don't want to do
anything too extreme cos I know I wouldn't stick to it
for too long. I've been doing it for a week and I lost 1 kg
which motivates me a lot:)

-Drinking water
I drink at least 2l of water daily and I can't emphasise
enough its benefits! My skin looks better, I feel less tired
and it fills my stomach so I don't get hungry too quickly.

OUT's:

-Stress
I've been dealing with a lot of stuff recently.
I can feel that both my body and my mind are exhausted.
That's one of the reasons why I became so obsessed with
changing my eating and fitness habits:)
(*look at INs*)

-Lack of sleep
My sleeping pattern is all over the place.
I'm a night person. I enjoy staying up to 4 or 5am
but college and work require being reasonable:)
Last 2 weeks were really tiring because I couldn't
sleep at night and I was like a zombie during the day
trying to survive. Then I used to have a nap in the afternoon
and of course still couldn't sleep at night. It was like a closed circle.
I'm working on that.

-Money
I'm learning how to control my shopping.
It's painful:/

February faves

Can somebody please tell me where did February go?
Cos it was SO quick!
Can't believe that tomorrow is the 1st of March!

Anyway, these are the products I loved
this (*bloody short*) month:

Lush Lemony Flutter
It's a cuticle butter but I also used it on my feet
(with socks as a night treatment), elbows and knees.
It's really moisturising and it smells so citrusy. Yum!

Rimmel 430 Coralicious
I used it on my toes as it reminds me of summer.

Flora by Gucci
I got it from my Mummy and I've been
loving it ever since. It's such a grownup smell lol

MAC Fix+
Perfect to spray over mineral makeup or when
I use powder to set my liquid foundation.
It's fab to create a dewy look.

MUF Concealer Palette no 1
It has everything I need.
It's super creamy and blends really well.
Plus, it lasts forever.

The Body Shop Buriti Baby Body Butter
That's my def favourite BS butter!!
It's so light but very moisturising.
It smells sweet but not overpowering.
It absorbs real quick and doesn't leave a greasy feeling.
ABSOLUTELY ADORE IT!
I love how yellow it is=) so pretty!

MAC Bare Study Paint Pot
O la la!
Such a great base for everyday makeup.
It gives a lovely champagne-y sheen.

Did you try any of those?
What did you think?

What were your faves?

Hope you guys had a lovely weekend.

I ♥ 90s

I was feeling a bit sentimental
and decided to share with you
my love for 90s!=)

I was born in 1985 so 90s remind me
of my childhood and teenage years.
When I look at some pics now from
back then I get a classical: 'What was I thinking?!'
but I think that's the charm of getting old lol

Remember Beverly Hills 90210?
The original one?
Oh, I used to watch every episode:)
All the drama lol
And I had a secret crush on Dylan hehe

Dawson's Creek belongs to late 90s
Loved it as well.
This time I had a crush on Pacey lol
Funny that I always fancy rebellious
characters. Yeah, that didn't change:)

MTV used to be different back then.
There was actually lots of music.
Because today what hits me
is that MTV is full of reality shows
and hardly ever plays music.

Ok, I gotta admit I love also 90s cheesy music lol
It needs to be said out loud=)

What about you guys?
Is there anything you miss about 90s?

FOTD

I woke up this morning
feeling a little down.
Life has been rather complicated recently
but whose isn't?!

Anywho, I started preparing for college
and I thought that pink would make my day
more colorful=)

I've also worn a beanie because
it's been raining here for couple
of days now. Plus, it's still quite cold.

I'm wearing bareMinerals foundation
and I truly love it.
It leaves my skin so radiant.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

A quotation of the day

A quote from Sex and the city:

'Soul mate.
Two little words.
One big concept.
A belief that someone, somewhere,
is holding a key to your heart and your dream house.
All you have to do is find them.
So where is this person?
And if you loved someone and
it didn't work out,
does this mean that they weren't your soul mate?
Were they just a runner-up
in the game show called 'Happily Ever After'?
And as you move from age box to age box
and the contestants get fewer and fewer,
are your chances of finding your soul mate
less and less?
Soul mates: reality or torture device?'

lush yellow bags

Hello Lovelies!

That is just a quick post about the Lush yellow bags.
I'm not sure if you ever spotted but some of them
have an advice at the back to re- use it by
placing it in the sock drawer:)
I put mine into my bra drawer
(I had an empty bag after I used the Comforter).
And I have to say it does smell nice.
It's not particularly a strong scent
or it doesn't last for too long
but it's still nice to open the wardrobe in the morning
and think: mmm blueberries:)

Now I also have one in the small
pocket of my handbag.

You can officially call me a Lush junkie=)

I'm just curious.
Do you guys re-use your yellow bags?
