Beauty Haul | Bourjois, Barry M, Tresemme

Image
Today I went for a walk around town and thought to myself that I should buy myself something nice again. So I popped into Boots and they have so many offers right now that I couldn't decide on what I'd like to buy. In the end I left the shop with some things from Bourjois and Barry M, and then I also bought myself a new hair shampoo and a hand soap too. Here are all the things I got and I think it was worth it. Let's start with the Bourjois products. As my Aok powder is going to be empty in some weeks and I just swatched this one on my hand and it is so nice! It is really covering and I think it should work really well with my skin. I will of course write a review after some days at least of using it, to make sure it really is worth buying this powder. The other thing I got was quite difficult to decide on. I wasn't too sure what I wanted but I thought that as I don't have any eye shadows at all, it would be useful to get a little palette. And I went for...

My Favourite Pieces Of Jewelry

Image
I don't have a lot of jewelry and I always feel like I need some more to add a nice detail to  my outfit, and I am now trying to find such pieces for the coming months. But I thought that I could show you my favourite pieces at the moment. I keep all of my things in this jewelry box that I got for Christmas two years ago. I really like it because it is not too big, but it keeps all of my jewelry in place. Let's start with rings. I always wear my two gold rings on my left hand and my two silver rings on my right hand, I never take them off. These ones are quite old because they both belonged to my mum when she was younger. One of them was a present when she first got married and the other one she bought herself for her first money she earned. I am totally in love with them because they are so delicate and pretty. And they are made of real gold so they stay pretty all the time. And the "plain" silver ring was a present from Eryk in Summer 2013 and w...

Baking Halloween Muffins

Image
Today I could finally get some proper sleep and in fact Eryk's sister woke me up at 12. Eryk was already at work and I cleaned up the horrible mess in our room, played with Maya and sat downstairs with the girls as they were filming a new video. I also did my make-up sometime later during the day and when the girls left I decided to also film a video, not a vlog. After that I wanted to bake some muffins and as it is Halloween quite soon, I thought that I could kind of give them a spooky look. But in fact they don't look Halloweeny at all but at least they should taste nice. And to be honest, that's the more important point with food. I didn't do the dough myself because we recently bought a Sponge Cake mix and wanted to try it out so I've used it today for the muffins. I just needed to add 8 tablespoons of milk and two medium eggs and used Nutella, desiccated coconut and some Halloween Haribo's to decorate the ready muffins. At first I also wanted to add a M...

What's for dinner?

Image
Today I had work again and I was so tired all morning long that I thought I was walking and working while sleeping. With time it got better and they say ended quite fast I'd say. While me and my friend were checking the bread are we spotted some ready pancakes and thought we'd love to have some, so during my break I quickly grabbed to packs of 6 and as I came home some time ago I just had three nice pancakes. I went for two pancakes filled with lots of Nutella and chopped up strawberries, and the third one was only filled with my favourite Hartley's apricot jam. It somehow reminded me of when I spent an evening at an old friend's house and his mum made pancakes with apricot jam and Nutella and they were the best pancakes I've ever had. But today I didn't want to mix Nutella with jam any more as I had enough of Nutella already. Well, I enjoyed it, and I just love sweets. Sorry, can't change it. This week I have my October Holidays so I won...

My 5 Favourite Nail Polishes + New Video!

Image
Today I thought it is about time to write a beauty post again, while I am trying to edit the video, that should be live since yesterday already. Due to audio issues we didn't want to upload it because it was quite crap and that's not what it should be. So I am editing it again just now and I hope that this time it will finally work. So back to the nail polishes! My nails are sadly a total mess because they keep breaking and so on and they are always way too short to look pretty and I also hate it when I don't wear nail polish. However, since the beginning of the summer holidays I somehow didn't paint my nails really often because I just couldn't be bothered to be honest. I need to fix the nail polish every day as my nails start splitting in half and the nail polish chips off obviously. It is really annoying and I don't even know any more what else I could do to make them strong. I even used to have gel nails to make them stronger and help them grow but they s...

Rainy Day And New Video

Image
 Today we went to the bakery in the morning to get our breakfast and we also did some grocery shopping as we were already running out of food, which is not too good. Vest: Primark, Jumper: H&M, Skirt: H&M Back home we had to unpack all the shopping bags and clean our room because it was a total mess. When everything was done I could finally start editing the new weekly vlog and I just finished cropping the individual videos and it is converting right now. The music needs to be done once this is ready and then hopefully it will be nice enough to be uploaded to YouTube later today. It is kind of a strange day because at first it was sunny but chilly, then it was suddenly raining and now the sun came out again. It is autumn already and it doesn't make me happy to be honest. Tomorrow I will have work again and if it will be raining in the morning and I will be soaking wet with my hair dripping, I will get so angry. But maybe it won't happen. That would be good. And...

Dentists and Phobias

Image
Today the day has come. I had my dentist appointment. The last time I went to a dentist was in March last year. The ones who know me will know that I have a phobia if it comes to dentists. I don't even have to be there, just thinking that one day I will need to go there, even for a check up, makes me freak out. It is my biggest fear and it is just horrible. But at least it was a very big step for me that I booked the appointment myself two weeks ago. Usually my mum used to do this and tell me a day before. So I decided to be strong and to keep my teeth pretty and booked the appointment for the check up. And I just didn't think about it during the next few days until yesterday. And last night I just totally couldn't fall asleep. I was so hot that I opened the windows, even though Eryk said it was cold and he is normally the one that is too hot at night to sleep. And I was just laying in bed with Eryk sitting next to me watching some things on Youtube, and I just couldn't...
