Caring for my hair takes up a lot of time in my life and since I get questions about it very, very often I thought I would finally film a short video where I explain how my hair routine looks like. Check out the video here! My shampoo is the Smooth and Sleek one by Pantene Pro-V and I'm pretty sure this is the one I've been already using half of my life! It is definitely the best for my hair, I never have any issues with it and you can get it literally everywhere too. The conditioner I started using very recently is the new L'Oreal Elvital from the Clay range and after the first use I could already tell that it's amazing! Once a week I like using the Goldwell Kerasilk mask because especially during summer our hair gets damaged quickly and needs some extra moisture and love. This mask is seriously my life saver and I will be devastated once I will run out of it. It leaves my hair so, so soft even though it is so difficult to achieve this result for...

Hello everyone! I guess this is my last post before Christmas, even though I really wanted to do one about Christmas outfit ideas, like I did last year, but since I've already packed for Poland, I can't show you now what I want to wear this year. But I have to say that I packed all of those dresses , which means that most likely I'll wear exactly the same things that I did last year! But back to the topic of today's post: It's empties time again! I really waited until our last full day in Vienna before going to Poland to write this post ( finally!). I've collected way too many products this time, but this is due to the fact that I'm not doing empties posts regularly ( which is a big mistake). So let's start with make-up removers. I don't know how I managed to use up so many of them! My tiny Bioderma Sebium micellar water was emptied some time ago before I decided to finish off my Hydrabio one, because it was still half full. I really like...

Hello everyone and welcome back on the blog! Since I'm so busy lately I don't even have enough time to blog properly, but today I decided it was time again to create some content for you. I actually wanted to film an empties video because I think it is just so much nicer, but until I managed to get this thing started it was already way too dark to film anything. So I decided go write some lines- still better than nothing. It's actually not too many empty products this time, but the boxn is surely full and ready to be emptied.  HAIR I used up my Batiste Eden dry shampoo and it really made me sad because Batiste is so expensive here in Vienna (and also hard to get). I also haven't seen this new scent over here yet, so this is even worse. Over the last few months (from August until now, the end of October) I've been using this about once a week. It helped me not washing my hair every two days on the hot days, but every third day and this was seriously lif...

Today I'm back with an Empties- post because I just realised how many things I've hoarded over the last weeks. Let's just start and try to keep the post as short as possible. I've used a shoe box for now instead of a bag because I find it more handy. HAIR I've used up this big 700ml bottle of my favourite Pantene Pro-V 2in1 Smooth&Sleek shampoo that works just simply the best. I've been writing about this product so many times that I guess you probably all already know it. It makes my thick hair look and feel clean, which not all shampoos do. It also doesn't make it tangled or frizzy or anything - it just does what I want. Next we have two L'Biotica Biovax hair masks that I've bought at the seaside back in July. I like to use a hair mask once a week when I've got the time, but those are just miracles! My hair is so soft and silky and full and it looks just so perfect! I think I only have one more left at this moment and defini...

Hello everyone! As you already know, I spent my Summer holidays in Poland ( as usual) and I also got myself some things that I showed in my latest haul video! Definitely go and check it out below! I bought things in all the possible cathegories, like beautym fashion, home or jewelry, so I tried not to make the video too long and too boring. I'm happy with all my purchases and would surely buy more if I had more money but at the moment I should probably save up, get rid of stuff I don't wear and maybe then buy something new. This morning I went to the supermarket to get myself some breakfast and I found the Alpro Coconut& Rice drink I used to put in my porridge back in Edinburgh, so I got this. I also saw McVities Digestives and nearly cried because I've never seen them in Vienna before. I'm happy that we have them in shops now because they will remind me of my stay in the UK, which I already miss so much. Also, make sure to check out my latest vlog , wher...

This summer turned out to be incredibly hot with plenty of sunshine here in Poland, which is pretty good because I get a tan and look healthier, but for my hair it's probably not the best thing in the world. Today I wanted to show you which products I use to keep my hair in the best condition possible ( I hope!). So, first of all, my hair already got pretty long by the end of June, so I knew I needed to cut it again because I had split ends and the ends were basically pretty dry and my hair didn't look that pretty any more. Personally, I prefer healthier to longer hair. Yes, I do want to have long hair, but I want it to be healthy and beautiful. I cut my hair in the second/third week of July, and I got about 10 cm chopped off, which made my hair look much nicer already. This was basically my first step to taking care of my hair during summer. While being by the seaside ( before cutting my hair), I bought some different hair masks to try out and I also got a new conditione...

It seems to me like I've been writing this post some days ago, but that was already nearlt two months ago! So many products have added up by now that I decided to show them to you. And you will already know some of them since they are ones I trust. Starting with the Pantene Pro-V shampoo, I want to add that I have two of those huge bottles that are empty, plus one bottle of the smallest size too. This gives you a rough idea od how much hair shampoo I need for washing my hair only twice a week! I am glad when I have those huge sizes because I know that I won't run out of them too quickly and I buy one a month approximately. I've said this so many times but this shampoo is by far the best I've used yet. It really makes my hair feel and look clean and washing it twice a week is enough to not look as if someone spilt a bottle of oil over my head. I am just in love with it and am scared of trying other shampoos now that I've found that this one is just perfect for...

This entry will actually be a long one, which I didn't really plan, but once I looked into the empties-bag, I got surprised by how many empty products I've collected lately. I'll just start, introducing the products in categories, since I think it's better this way. First- hair... I have 4 hair shampoos here, but two of them are the same ones but in different sizes. It is definitely my favourite shampoo, the Pantene Pro-V Smooth&Sleek. I've already mentioned it in other posts and I have to say that I've tried many different shampoos over the last year and this one is actually the only one that works on my hair! It cleans my hair well and doesn't make it sticky while washing. My hair looks pretty after washing and that's the important stuff. I have another one that I'm running out of but it's an enormous bottle compared to those two! Next I have the Garnier Ultra Doux shampoo I got in Poland since I've heard many good things ...

I used to write collective hauls at the end of every month because I thought I wouldn't have too many things to show and now I somehow prefer to show the things straight away after I buy them, just because they are new and I don't forget to talk about all the things I got over the last month. But again, lately I don't just walk into Boots and pick 5 things at once, but mostly buy just what I need at the moment really. And for this reason I decided to quickly share with you the things I got over the last two weeks, since I didn't update you about them yet. I have five things here and two of them are products I've already had. On Friday I went to M&S and saw this cute little box of soap roses and couldn't resist them. I carried them around for a long while around the shop and eventually decided to really buy them. They look so pretty in their little box that I don't even want to take them out to be honest! They are scented with top notes of gardenia,...

Maybe it's a bit late, but I still decided to add a post about my favourite beauty products after a long while of not sharing them. I picked five products that I thought I loved a lot throughout January. Starting with hair, I have to say that I finally found the perfect shampoo for me. And it is definitely not new to me! I've been using this for years back in Austria and thought of trying out something new over here in the UK. But the last two TRESemme shampoos I've tried disappointed me a lot, the Ultra Doux from Garnier wasn't good either and when I've ran out of shampoo one day, I quickly grabbed this one from Pantene Pro-V in the supermarket. I chose the smooth&silk version, since my hair is prone to frizz and it looks damaged, which it not necessarily is. After using it only once, I knew that this shampoo is perfect for my hair and that I should continue using it. Using it is so easy, my hair doesn't stick together, it lets the water through, it ...

My hair has always been very special to me and I used to have really beautiful hair when I was little and I was never allowed to have long hair as washing it was just a torture for both, me and my mum. My hair was so thick that we needed to wash it layer for layer and it took ages to get it dry. People still say that my hair is so pretty and ask me how I manage to keep them so pretty but if they know what my hair used to be like, they are shocked that I've lost so much of it over the last years. I wouldn't say that my hair is not pretty, because it is but I am just used to the wow-volume and it makes me sad that these times are over. But that's the reason why I try to keep my hair healthy, to make it at least a bit nicer even though the volume is gone. I can now wear it longer and it is not such a big problem, although I still have quite thick and heavy hair and washing days are not my favourite. I think this is my favourite picture of my hair because it was curled...

Hello! Today I will show you loads of things that I got this month, and it is nearly crazy that I got all these things in jut a month. But, if you read my blog you will know that I have been to Scotland and I just had to buy some things there and this is the result. Also, there is another Birthday gift included. Right, so I had similar shoes, which you can see a tiny bit of in the corners, and they got destroyed after two years of wearing them. I really liked them and decided to buy ones that would also be nice and here we are! These ones are made of leather and from Lasocki. As I arrived in Scotland, I needed a shower gel and a body lotion so I picked these. The Original Source shower gel smells amazing and is very creamy! I have used like half of it just being in Scotland. The Garnier body lotion smells also very nice and it dries quickly after applying it, which made me very happy. However, it keeps your skin very moisturized and I am really sad that I could only take 100...
