My November Favourites

Image
November is already coming to an end, which means that Christmas time is pretty much an official thing now, even though it doesn't feel like it's nearly December already. I am a bit nervous and not too excited for the time before Christmas actually since I'll have my uni exams and I am still not prepared and so stressed out. That's also the reason why I don't get to blog too much recently- I just have so much to study all day long! But today is a good day to share my November Beauty Favourites with you. ( It looks like I'm actually ill because of some suspicious symptoms but I will find out more later in the afternoon when I go to the GP, which means that I don't go to uni today I think, and that's why I have time to write this entry) I've used the products below pretty much daily over the last weeks of November and most of them aren't new, but I had a little break from them and kind of "rediscovered" the this month. I&

Original Source Shower Gel Review + Video!

Image
Hello everybody! Today I'm back with something rather cool because I'm gonna write a little bit about Original Source 's shower gel ( and I am maybe a little obsessed with shower gel...). I also filmed a video over on my YT channel that you should definitely watch, where you can find out more about those goodies! A few weeks ago I got 7 different shower gels and I am in love with most of them already. The most important thing about Original Source products is that their products are all vegan, made in the UK AND not tested on animals!! Still, they are very affordable and in the UK they are available in every grocery store! ( Pretty much what I miss a lot about living in Edinburgh). My favourite is definitely the Vanilla Raspberry one, which I was already writing about, a long time ago here , I also mentioned that situation in the video if you're curious why this one is my favourite. ;) I totally recommend this brand because of its great natural scents.

My OOTD: Fluffy Jumper And Cosy Coat

Image
Hello everyone! I am really sorry that I wasn't here for a while now, but uni somehow gets pretty stressful just now with all the upcoming exams. I try to study every spare minute because it is so much that I have to know that I'd like to cry and stay in bed all day long. Today I'm again off to a lecture but I decided to show you my outfit before I go. I actually wanted to take photos outside but I'm alone and there's nobody who could help me. And after uni the light will already be too bad to get nice snaps. ( Although I have to say that the quality of those photos is pretty bad too) I decided to wear my cosy coat today again, because it is cooling down again after all those pretty hot days. But I'm wearing Vans to not look too wintery. creme cosy coat - Primark fluffy pastel jumper - Only high waisted jeans - Topshop shoes - Vans I got this jumper a few days ago and I'm in love! It's actually tight on the skin and you can really feel

L'Occitane En Provence Skin Care

Image
A few weeks ago I got to try a few products of the brand L'Occitane En Provence and I got really excited about it. Their natural products give you a feeling of well-being and a bit of luxury too- which means they are great for having a nice pamper night now and then! As you can tell from the picture, I found a few very nice goodies in my parcel and unfortunately I started using them straight away before even taking nice pictures. ( sorry, got too excited!) There is everything you need to treat your entire body: face masks, shower gel and shower oil, body lotion, hand cream and perfume! The delightful rose hand cream is so tiny and cute and just fits into every bag (or even pocket!), which is great because having a hand cream with you when out in winter is really important and useful. Unlike the body lotion, this is a rather thick cream but also soaks into your skin quickly and well. The smell is actually very intense, and I'm not the biggest fan of rose-sce

A Vienna Sightseeing Vlog

Image
Last week was quite a busy one for me again, but it started off with some AMAZING weather with temperatures reaching up to 20-something degrees here in Vienna! I was actually tanning on the balcony! ( feels like summer, but it's November??) I was pretty much only at uni all week long and then one day, since it was SO warm, we went on an evening motorcycle trip around Vienna, which was so, so nice and impressive. And then yesterday I had a day off so I went to the city centre again and had a long stroll around the 1st district of Vienna, which is just so beautiful- especially when it's so sunny and warm that you can actually take your time to have a proper walk around the little unknown streets and so on. This vlog is pretty much a sightseeing tour for all the people who don't live here! :D So make sure to check it out! VIENNA SIGHTSEEING VLOG Have a nice weekend everyone! :) -Olivia ~13.11.2015~

My October Beauty Favourites Video

Image
Today I finally managed to film a video about my October Beauty Favourites, since I didn't manage to upload a post about them for such a long time. I hope it is still acceptable to have it up that late, but I wanted to make sure I actually do it, rather than not doing it at all in case someone was really curious! I would be really happy if you watched the video and if you'd give it a thumbs up! :) Enjoy! MY OCTOBER BEAUTY FAVOURITES Thank you for watching! :) -Olivia ~11.11.2015~

My OOTD: Denim Dress (+ Motorbike Outfit)

Image
Hello everyone! The last couple of days were just incredibly warm ( up to over 20 degrees!) and I really like this weather I have to say. I like it because I can wear something more fun than just a pair of jeans and a jumper. So, recently I got this denim look dress from H&M, very spontaneously, but I thought it was pretty cool. Excuse my rather chubby face in this picture. It was also very windy, hence the weird hair! dress- H&M black cardigan - ZARA black faux leather jacket - Pimkie leopard tote bag - FOSSIL black 100 den tights - Primark black leather loafers - Clarks floral viscose scarf - local Polish shop I've had this scarf for years now and only rediscovered it yesterday when going for a ride on the motorcycle. :D In case you wonder about this outfit: jeans- H&M, shoes-Vans, neopren jacket- Hein Gericke, the kidney/back safety thing-Dainese, fancy gold bag- H&M, jumper- H&M, helmet- Shark ( it's mine btw, not my dad&#

My OOTD: A Day At Uni

Image
Hello everybody! I hope you're still waiting for me to come back and write down something and that you're not gone forever already. I struggle a lot with creating blog posts lately but I hope that it will all get better soon again. For today I wanted to show you today's outfit because there's a lot of new stuff that I have and that I will also be showing in a haul video ( hopefully next week). Hope you enjoy it! And don't forget that there will be a vlog up later today too! SOFTEST cream furry coat - Primark beige snood - Primark black jeggings - Pull&Bear black boots - Deichmann leopard tote - FOSSIL navy cami - TkMaxx black short cardigan - ZARA Thanks to Julia for taking all of the pictures for me! :) Now I'm off to edit the vlog and hopefully I'll put it up before I have to go back to uni! -Olivia ~06.11.2015~

Hello November!

Image
I can't believe that it is already November and that Christmas is pretty much just around the corner now. Time flies so fast- one month of Uni is already over, and I should study so much for my upcoming exams, but I just somehow don't really manage to since I already feel a bit overwhelmed with all the lectures throughout the week. I feel like I have absolutely no time for myself... Yesterday, on the 1st, we had a family walk around the cemetery and then we came to our house and had some food and lots of hot tea. I really enjoyed it, such a nice day off. Today I got up pretty early and my dad and I went for a small shopping day out, so I got myself a few things and am considering a collective autumn haul video. Let me know id you'd be interested in one! So now, already two days of November are over already and it just drives me crazy! My Uni exams are in December and I don't even feel that I know anything at all yet. This makes me a bit worried and also stres
