How To Look After Thick, Long Hair (+video)

Image
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...

My OOTD: A Day At The Zoo With Eryk

Image
Hi guys! Today is such a beautiful day that Eryk and I decided to go to the zoo. He's never been to the one in Vienna before and I just thought it is a nice place to go to on a sunny day. We are now totally exhausted after about 5 hours of walking and seeing all the animals there. After that we also went for a drink and now it's time to relax. Due to the high temperatures I went for my new shorts from TkMaxx that I also already showed in  this post .  My white plain cami top is from Zara and I really like the delicate ribbed structure it has. It's a very floaty top and goes with any bottoms really, which is what I find cool. And to carry around all my things I chose my red leather satchel from Vigneron. I absolutely adore this beautiful bag and whenever I am out of the house when I'm not at uni or at work, I will try to take this bag out.  My sandals are from Forever21 and I had to choose my shoes wisely today because I knew we'd be walking for ho...

New Closet Staple - Denim Shorts

Image
Hello everybody! After a rather long break of not posting at all, due to too many work days, I'm now back with a post I decided to do spontaneously. On Tuesday, which was rainy and grey, like most of the week was, I made my way to TkMaxx, which unfortunately is pretty far from where I live. I still decided to use that day instead of just sit at home and watch some series on repeat. And I'm so glad I went! I haven't bought a lot, but just a few things that I actually like a lot - just like these denim shorts. You will know by now that I am very much the skirt/ dress- person and I don't really like wearing tight shorts that make your thighs want to explode the second you sit down. I love skirts for being so comfy, so recently I even threw out all my old denim shorts I had in my closet, because I thought it was useless keeping them if I don't even wear them more than once a year. I mean, some of them were just sitting on the shelf without being worn in like ...

A Bit Of Retail Therapy

Image
Uni is a bit too much for me at the moment because I study all the time but I still have more to revise than I already did by now and this is just a nightmare! (since I have 9 days left!) And on top of that I had a dentist appointment this morning, and the dentist is pretty much my biggest fear in life. I absolutely can't stand even knowing that one day I'll need to go back for an appointment. And today I didn't have the most relaxing appointment cause I had to get two fillings and got so much anestethics because the pain was unbelievable. I was mentally tired after that, so my mum and I went to do some Christmas shopping and I got myself two early Christmas gifts too. ( And I think I deserve a little treat after all the stress I've been through over the last weeks. I mean the stress will go on until I've passed my exams, but still) I got this super cute make-up bag and a beautifully scented candle. The make-up bag was too pretty and too handy not to bu...

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...

Sebamed Skincare Review

Image
Hello everyone! I finally managed to get a bit of time to write this post, and for today I decided that it was time for a review. Some weeks ago I got some bits from the brand Sebamed   and I immediately started using the products to give you an idea of what they are like and if it's worth trying them out. As you can see from the picture above, I got some cute little samples ( and I also gave 2 to my dad because they were an after shave and after sport shower gel). I got two different shower gels,an every-day hair shampoo, a cream and a body lotion. I didn't use all of them yet but I the ones I did, I quite like. All the washing products are soap free and cleanse delicately. A pH of 5.5 is ideal for our skin, so again, it's used in all of Sebamed's products, which shows that the products are really thought through and professional. I think body lotion is such an important skincare product especially in the colder months because our skin often  gets expo...

My OOTD: Park With My Friend

Image
Good morning! Yesterday I had French at Uni and afterwards I met up with my friend Nicole. We haven't seen eachother in ages and we decided it was time for a catch-up. First we went to Starbucks and since it wasn't cold and autumny outside, we went for tasty Refreshas instead of hot coffee. We sat there for quite a while, chatting away and it was just so nice! I really missed all of my girlfriends when I was away. Then we decided to go for a walk and we actually really walked far! We also had some tasty icecream and I think this might have been my last icecream of the year? (Well, real icecream) Once we came to "Burggarten", which is a pretty park in pretty much the centre of Vienna ( look it up online! :D ), we again sat down and enjoyed the sunshine and peace. When it started to get dark we went on to the city centre and also had a stroll around there, watching all the street musicians and looking at all the pretty shop windows. It was a really nice day. When I...

My OOTD: Day In Town With The Family

Image
My dad is in Poland over the weekend so it's only ,my mum, brother and me at home for now. Since Noah starts school on Monday we thought it would be nice to go for a nice walk together before all the stress begins. I'm sure once school and uni starts for us, it will be pretty difficult to arrange something nice with the whole family. We also met up with my mum's best friend and her daughter and went for some lunch and as I said before, I walk around the busy city centre and some shops too. It's pretty cool and windy today and it also started raining a bit so then we knew it was time to go home and spend a cosy afternoon in. Also, me and my mum were both wearing heels and our feet got so sore that we were happy to be on our way home. I actually had to take off the shoes near the area we live and walk home barefoot. Amazing. terracotta vest - Forever21 long blouse with horse print - H&M thin belt - Primark black skinny jeans - Bershka black faux leather...

My Favourite Shoes

Image
Today I thought about all the shoes I have in my wardrobe and would like to do a Shoe Collection video maybe in a week. But now I want to show you the shoes I kind of like the most at the moment. I picked 5 pairs. The first pair for today are my "brogue" ballet flats from the brand Lasocki, that I got in Vienna before summer.I had a similar pair before and I wore it until it was not acceptable any more. This pair is made of leather and the colour is a light caramel brown I'd say. It has little cute laces and I love wearing them with black tights and skater dresses (especially cute summer dresses). I wore them throughout the summer and autumn, and now I'm giving them a little break until it gets warmer again. The second pair is quite new and they are those black leather loafers from Clarks. They look quite smart and again I love wearing them with dresses and skirts when it's not too cold.  An important thing I have to say about those shoes is that the...
