Autumn in the air

I am a sucker for candles, burners, diffusers and all that kind of jazz.
Autumn seems to be a perfect season for that.
Definitely my favourite season.

An oil burner or a nicely smelling candle can literally
transform the whole room or even flat.
It makes it more cosy and homy.

What are your favourite scents?

Favourite perfume

Top Notes: Peony, Freesia, Litchi.

Heart Notes: Rose, Lily-of-the-Valley, Caribbean Magnolia.

Base Notes: Amber, Virginia Cedar

(based on escentual.com)

That's my all time favourite.

Feminine, modern, sweet, a bit flowery but not too much.

Perfect.

It suits my personality.

The moment I spray it, it makes me want to smile.

What's your perfume you couldn't go without?

Breakfast

Yeo Valley organic yogurts are my favourite.
They're really creamy, probiotic and not too sweet.
I also like the fact that they don't taste of artificial fruit.

And yes. I'm still pretty much into blueberries :-)

Have a lovely Friday guys!

Back at uni .. and back to blogging

Does it make me a total geek to be excited
to be back at uni? :-o

I'm doing my 2nd year.. psychology and sociology as
a joint degree..

Yeah, ok .. I'm a geek :-)

healthy snacks

It is a quite busy and stressful time for me.
Exams, essays, presentations, deadlines..
We've all been there at some point.
I've been spending countless hours in front of a laptop,
at the library, reading etc.
Also when I'm stressed I enjoy snacking but
as a part of a healthier lifestyle, I try not to stuff myself with junk food
(yes.. I said I try to..)

Here are things that I tend to hold on to when I need extra something:)

Eat Natural Bars:
there's lots of different flavours, full of dried fruit and nuts.

Rachel's Organic Greek Style Coconut yogurt:
it's creamy and very coconutty, perfect in the morning.

And yes, I'm a Grazer:-)
I receive my Graze deliveries every Wednesday.
I'm a fan of dried fruit and nuts.
I also love their flapjacks mmmmm

All the information can be found here.

Their packaging changes every week but it's always very cute.

Oh and my beloved blueberries!
I could eat them non stop lol
I usually add them to my yogurts or
eat them just like that.
Loooove.

What is your favourite snack?

Nail Paint freak

Bonjour Ladies!
Today I decided to share with you my latest obsession.
Barry M Nail Paints

Love them all and I can't get enough.
They're very affordable- £2,99 a bottle
(and often on offer in Boots 2 for £5).
They come in wide range of colours,
they are pretty resistant (usually last me 4-5 days with base and top coat).

What's not to love? :-)

From left:
103 nail effects,
308 berry,
304 mint green ♥♥♥
295 turquoise,
291 cobal blue.

From left:
296 coral (last summer's fave),
305 pink flamingo,
302 fuchsia ♥♥♥
303 bright purple,
273 raspberry,
312 indigo (camera doesn't give it justice,
it's gorgeous blueish purple).

At the moment I'm really into Fuchsia and Mint Green
but I'm planning on getting more..

Which one is your favourite Barry M Nail Paint?

Any recommendations?

Studious Friday

Another day of studying today.
An essay due next week and 3 exams.
Glad it isn't sunny today so I'm not tempted to drop the books
and go to the park.. lay on the grass and just be lazy.

Can't wait for the summer:-) So many plans..
But first, I need to deal with a ton of books, notes,
slides and highlighters..
Anybody out there stressed out studying?
A coffee with a doughnut seems like a lovely treat.

Am I the only person that didn't seem to be excited about
the Royal Wedding?

Have a lovely Friday xx

guess who's back..

Long time no see ladies:-)
Thank you for sticking around with me..

Inglot goodies

Hello lovelies!
So I was lucky enough to get some Inglot goodies:-)
Amaaaazing stuff.

Starting with a boring item.
I needed a new base coat and that one
is also meant for peeling nails so it works as a conditioner as well.

I also wanted to get a blending brush but
I couldn't decide which one so I got two:
4SS and 6SS.

The part that I'm most excited about is that lovely palette.

They call it a freedom system.
It works exactly the same way as in MAC
but you can have 3 or 5 eye shadows.
I wanted a neutral one with fall colours.

These are so pigmented!
From left:
118
405
465.

I also wanted two highlight colours:
a matte one 353 (left)
and a shimmery one 463.

I also needed a matte light brown colour
(to rock that smoky look this fall lol)
but it wasn't available in the freedom system
so I got it as a single shadow (357).



And last but not least, I had to get this lovely blush (88).
It seems like a more summery colour but what the heck,
so pretty I couldn't resist.



It reminds me a little of Benefit's Coralista.

And can you believe that all that cost me less then £40??!
AMAZING.
Inglot is definitely worth considering..
The only downfall is availability of the products.
Wish there were more Inglot stores in UK.

If you'd like me to post any reviews on
any of the goodies, please let me know.

Have a lovely weekend!

xoxo
