Today I wanted to share something different with you, something that is a big part of my life: Music. I know that I've been singing from the time I could talk and back then, when I was little, Sarah Connor was my absolute favourite singer. Later on I was singing in a choir for ages and now I do miss it quite a lot at times. Since times have changed and I no longer listen to Sarah Connor, I wanted to share my current playlist with you and I hope you will enjoy this blog post. I have quite a few playlists on my Youtube account, but there is a particular one I turn on every day. And I also have to say that I don't listen to all the songs daily, but I want to share the songs that are my favourites at the moment. Let's start with my current favourite singer - Florence Welch . I think I started listening to her when I was 14 or maybe even younger, I know all the songs by heart and wish I had that dreamy voice too. From her last album, The Odyssey, I especially lik...

After my exam this morning I hurried back home to enjoy a hot cup of tea and some delicious Golden Syrup cake that we bought yesterday in Bobby's Foodstore. This place is a dream for all the people that miss the UK. Today even the sun came out, so now I'm sitting on my sofa, all cosy and warm, enjoying some warm sunrays and of course, my favourite Earl Grey tea and a few slices of the golden syrup cake, that I used to buy nearly every day back in Edinburgh. Later on I have to go back to uni one more time and then I'll be studying in the evening for tomorrow's exam. my current favourite jumper is this grey, oversized one from H&M - I pretty much live in it and I am not even lying. my jeans are from Bershka Hope you're all having a nice day too! :) -Olivia ~26.01.2017~

Hello everyone! I am back with a new blog post after three weeks of not uploading anything. This is crazy and I feel so bad about it but work, uni and my 2 exam weeks really robbed all my free time this month. I am quite sad because since my vlogging camera broke, I thought I would blog more, but so far it didn't go as planned. So far I had five exams and there are three more to go until the end of this semester. Today I had a day without any exams, so I really need to study, but we also decided to go and explore Vienna a little bit for a few hours, so that I can also just take a break from studying like crazy. Recently I found out that there is a shop in Vienna that sells British food and I was like : OMG, I SO have to go there! And I thought today was a good day to drag Eryk to that shop. It is actually quite far from where I live and it was freezing so we nearly had a mental breakdown before arriving at the shop, but in the end we made it and we were really happy. That shop...

Happy New Year from Me and Maya! I hope you all had a great start into the new year! I was just relaxing, studying and working two days so far, so I guess my start wasn't too bad. However, on New Year's Eve my camera broke, which doesn't make me happy because I can't vlog at all, but therefore I decided to try and blog more instead. Since today is a holiday, I have enough time to blog and study, and I decided it would be nice to have a look at a few things that I absolutely loved using throughout the last year. Starting off with skincare, I discovered two amazing products, that are also very affordable, so totally worth trying out. I was looking for a micellar water that would work just as good as the famous Bioderma one ( which I love), and everybody here will know the best (?) dupe for it- the Garnier micellar water that comes in the bottle with a pink cap. Yes, I also tried it and I like that it removes make-up quick and easy but the smell th...

Since Christmas is always very fancy in our house, I also make sure my outfit and make-up look pretty. And since I wear the same make-up every day, it's quite hard for me to go for something else ( mainly cause I suck at everything else that is not mascara and eyeliner). When I got my early Christmas gift from Eryk two years ago, which was the Urban Decay Naked On The Run palette, it made things a bit easier. My Christmas make-up this year will look like this: I think it is not overly different. It looks quite delicate, yet pretty enough to wear on a special day. I'll quickly talk you through all the products I've used, so you can recreate this look if you want, or get some of the products in case you liked them. Starting off with the base... My make-up base is always the same, except for the powder that I sometimes have to switch because of a tan or fading tan etc. First step is of course concealer. Back in the UK I always used the Collection c...

Today I decided it was time again for a more beauty related post, so I thought talking about winter skincare might be interesting to some of you. First, I have to say that I am a VERY lazy person when it comes to using skincare regularly, and what is also important is that due to my Psoriasis, my skin gets really dry over a few weeks every winter and summer. This gets really annoying because when I take off my jeans at the end of the day, they will be covered with white, dead skin cells on the inside. This is exactly what happens when you have Psoriasis, your skin regenerates much, much faster than it should and as a result your skin always seems dry and needs proper skincare to stay smooth and silky. Of course, you should also keep your skin moistured even if you don't have any skin issues! I picked a product for showering, moisturising my body, hands and face, so let's check out the products! The first product I wanted to quickly talk about is a shower ...

I seriously can't believe that Christmas Eve is already in three days! Due to work and uni, the time went by so quickly that I didn't even realise that the year is coming to an end, and therefore, Christmas is just around the corner too. I am usually the person, who will always choose summer over winter, but then again, I really love Christmas. I love Christmas because of the way we celebrate it in Poland, I think it's quite special and magical. Every year we go to Poland, to spend the Christmas holidays with my whole family, and also this year we're going, except that we only have three days off this time. Still, I'm sure we will enjoy it and have a great time. There are so many things I like about Christmas.... I do hate the cold for sure, but running back home to get a hot cup of delicious Earl Grey tea with that zingy lemon taste in it is priceless to me. Like I said once: tea is life. In summer you can't drink too much hot tea, so the cold season...
