Some time ago I decided to try out one of the subscription boxes to have a look at what can possibly be inside and if it is really worth subscribing to a monthly box and to spend money on something that you have no idea of. Today my Pink Parcel arrived and I even forgot about it and was very excited when the courier handed it in to me. I quickly ran upstairs to open the box and to have a look what the bits inside are. You can find out more about Pink Parcel here . As I mentioned in the title, it a very girly thing because it is a box that arrives around the time of your period and I am sure all girls know that this time is not the most amusing one and it is nice to get a little treat to cheer yourself up. -And this box is all about making your period nicer! So, what was inside this month's box? This box is filled with cute treats, see yourself below! There is a bar of caramel dark chocolate and it comes in such a beautiful packaging. I haven't t...

I've announced that I will show you a little bit of what I'm going to pack for my stay in Austria and Poland and of course, I won't be there for long so I decided to keep my luggage to the minimum because maybe I want to buy myself something and would prefer to keep some free space for new stuff. I've packed 2 festive dresses and my denim skirt. To pair with the skirt I picked one blouse and I will try and a crop top. To throw over the dresses I also put my Zara cardigan in. My jeans are still on the radiator but I am planning on wearing them and the chunky white jumper for the journey itself. I also packed two pairs of tights, some pairs of socks, underwear, all my make-up and jewellery. I still need to pack one pair of flats, my Fossil bag, the sweets for the kids and random bits and bobs that I will need to take but won't pack them yet. Sorry for the disgusting carpet. I wish we had laminate floors in our room. :( I really hope that I will ma...

So, Sunday is coming to an end and I have to start revising for my Spanish exam, which is tomorrow. I will also need to print my tickets and make sure I have everything I need to pack on Tuesday. To begin with, I chose the liquids bag, because this is always a tricky thing. I am going by plane and since I'm not going to stay for long I decided to have hand luggage only and for this reason I need to make sure I don't exceed the limits to avoid problems. For this moment I think that those are all the liquid products I'll be taking with me, as I can't thing of anything else just now. Sorry for the crappy photos but I don't have a camera home just now but still wanted to blog, so I had to use my phone camera. I've packed my perfume, which is a pretty small size. because it's only 30ml and therefore perfect for travelling. It is also my favourite perfume and I am just addicted to it. It is the Escada Cherry in the air, if you're wondering. ...

I've been pretty busy lately, it seems to me and I don't even really know why. It's true that I had some College work to do and I still have a lot left that I haven't touched yet. I've not been out very often because of various reasons and now I'm sitting in bed thinking: In only four days I will see my family again... This thought got so surreal to me from the time I moved out and tried to start adult life far away from my family. Four days is really a short time and I am asking myself how this reunion will look like. After not seeing my family for nearly 6 months, I could finally spend Christmas with them and once I got out of the Arrivals at the airport and saw my little brother, waiting for me, I just started crying so much because this feeling was so surreal and so beautiful at once.  Now, I haven't seen my family in only three months, so I didn't even get to miss them so much yet and it is already time to see them again. Those three last ...

Yesterday I felt pretty bored in the evening and I could have studied but I decided to bake something and I went for muffins again. I had a sponge cake mix from Morrisons in the cupboard and thought I'd use it instead of making the dough myself. So, I prepared the mixture like the back of the pack tells you to and then I chopped up a large banana into tiny pieces and I also used nearly a whole bar of chocolate to crack it into small bits and also added them into the dough. A bit of cinnamon is also a must in my kitchen so this was also part of the recipe. Then I just put the dough into the muffin cases and was baking the muffins for 12 minutes and let them cool down once I took them out of the oven. I decided to cook some semolina ( and added a bit of honey into it while cooking) and to use it as a topping for the ready muffins. Then I just sprinkled some chocolate sprinkles on top and all was done! The muffins were very tasty and Eryk was pretty sceptic first but once he trie...

Some days ago I had to order a book for my French course and since I think it is useless paying for delivery, I was trying to find something to add to the book order so that I wouldn't need to pay for shipping. So, I found this Sleek Blush and I am in love! The packaging is so plain, but the matte black colour of it with the glossy writing looks just so pretty in my opinion. I found that the shade of the blush itself is not so pink like my other ones, what I think is a good thing because now I have something that I didn't have yet. The shade is called Rose Gold 926 and it is more of a peachy tone I'd say. However, it is really glittery and even on your skin it does stay like glittery. And I was thinking that this would make a great blush for summer when I'm tanned and not so pale any more. It doesn't make such a contrast to the bronzer, like the pink blushers, and I just think this look is very pretty and as I already mentioned -summery. It is also my first Slee...

Since this morning wasn't as warm as the previous ones I decided to go for a pair of jeans and a cosy sweater instead of a sheer dress and some tights. So, my outfit was plain and pretty comfy and not as girly as the previous entries, but I still really like it. So, here's me trying to pose with Maya. As you can tell I also had my black jacket with me, and it will be a must item for the next weeks. If you still don't know it- it is from Pimkie. Since I went to College, I chose my Jack Wills shopper, that actually didn't match the outfit too well, but it is pretty practical. The white crochet jumper is from H&M and I've been wearing it nearly non-stop this winter, My jeans are from Warehouse and today I actually thought of getting them kind of tailored to fit my thighs better than they do now. My dad is a pro at such things, so hopefully he could do this over Easter, because that would be really great. They fit my lower legs perfectly, so that...

This morning was a sunny one again so I new I wouldn't need to wear too many layers again. I went for a pretty spring-y outfit once again and enjoyed the sunshine sitting on a bench at the College Campus before class, without freezing my bum off. My floral "silky" strappy vest is from Primark and I got it last summer. I am surprised by the quality of the fabric to be honest! I've worn and washed it pretty often so far and it stilll looks like new. I also wore this silver glittery skater skirt, which is made of a very thin and elastic fabric. It has a thin belt and it also is from Primark. I also have the same skirt but in a burgundy colour. Why? Because they were 1 Euro each, so... Then again, my black tights, which are also from Primark. ( So much Primark today!) The cardigan is again from Zara and I've had it for SO many years! I already had it when my brother was born... which was 6 years ago. I have to admit that it still looks like new, well, the c...

Today I somehow wanted to wear so many different things and I was just scared that I'd look like a clown wearing all those colours and prints and then I thought that it shouldn't really matter if every piece of your outfit matches the rest. So, I went for this outfit and I just didn't want to wear black shoes, that would match the jacket, but make the outfit even darker. And I don't have a big bag matching that colour of shoes, so... well. It got pretty warm today and the sun is still out, which is so beautiful and makes me very happy. I will go for a walk with Maya once I'm done with this entry and eating a quick snack. Still, it is not that warm to leave the house without a jacket and for this reason I went for my faux leather Pimkie jacket, that I'll be wearing pretty often now. I also wore my flats from Lasocki, that I just love and I would just probably buy all of those kinds of shoes if I could.  I wore my River Island dress that I got last year...

Since I wear eyeliner basically every single day, I can tell that I am happy to use a good liner because if the liner isn't good I just don't do the lines because I would freak out. So, at the moment I have two liners that I use to line my lower lashes/eyelids, and aprat from that I have several eye crayons but they are rubbish on my upper eyelids since my lids are quite oily and the colour doesn't stay where it should. So there is only the choice between liquid liner or gel liner for me. And I got the Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel liner, which is a Benefit gel liner dupe, and I am really happy with it. On the lids it is bery pigmented, it doesn't smudge and since it is waterproof, it is really difficult to take it off. I like the applicator and the consistency because it is not runny but not to hard either. It is easy to work with in my opinion -obviously other girls may not like that type of eyeliner but I actually find it pretty easy to use. And then I also ...

Since spring is officially here and you can definitely tell, I thought that it is about time to change my mind from winter to spring too. You probably already know that I hate winter, because it is just way too cold, too grey and just not good for leaving the house. However, now that spring's begun I feel a lot more happy and can't wait to welcome the really nice days finally, once again. Warm Weather This is probably the most important part about saying bye to winter. It is definitely getting warmer and the sun is shining more often too. It is not so windy any more and the days seem much longer, now that the sun stays up for longer, which makes me very happy! With warm weather, there is another good reason to like spring. Less Clothes I hate wearing jackets and scarves, gloves, whatever, on top of everything. I know that I need to wear them in winter because obviously, I am cold wearing them already, so not having a jacket would be quite suicidal for me I guess. B...

So, today was quite a cool day. It's officially the first day of spring, which makes me very happy because I hope that from now on the weather will definitely get better. And since I got up early and found out that today the Solar Eclipse was about to happen. So, instead of going back to bed, I decided to get up and watch it since there was probably nothing more interesting happening during this day. Well, so I thought that filming as much as possible would actually be a good idea and for this reason I tried to find a nice spot to film and stayed there for nearly the whole eclipse. I also had the Telegraph website on my laptop on, where you could watch the eclipse live, so knew how the sun looked like when it was behind clouds. After this whole spectacle, I took Maya out for a walk and then started editing the vlog, which took me absolutely ages- about two hours or even more. The programme I'm using was just so slow and it was lagging and so on and I just wanted to get ...

I got up to beautiful sunshine outside the window but also coming into our room, through the open window. It was warm and the birds were singing, which makes me feel so happy and so much like being in Poland during summer with all of my family. Once I got out of bed I decided that today is the day- time for one of my favourite dresses, but since it's more on the spring/ summer side, I didn't manage to wear it over a long time now. I checked the temperature and in the morning it already said 10 degrees, which made me really happy. The sky was blue and the sun felt good on my skin. I decided to have a proper breakfast once again, after nearly two weeks of not feeling well at all. It was a happy morning and it finally felt like spring to me. After breakfast I went out to take some snaps of my outfit and then I made my way to College, to sit my French prelim ( which took ages!). My beautiful dress is from New Look and I actually got it last April when I first got to st...

So, since I'm doing the Advanced Higher French course at College just now, I'll have assessments coming over the next months until the year is over. I already had my first exam, the speaking part and tomorrow I'll have a prelim, which is basically a mock exam. However, it could maaaybe be helpful if you get into trouble during the actual exam in May. (From what I've heard.) I also had to read one book so far, in French obviously, which is "No et moi" by Delphine de Vigan. It was part of the speaking exam and I also had to write an English essay about it and I also need to write a French one. Now, I had to get myself another book, which is a French classic, written by the philosopher Camus, that I've learned about at school. This is a more difficult book to read as you can probably tell and we got the choice to read it in either English or French since we have to write an English essay about it and it wouldn't really matter. However, my teacher to...

Eryk and I had some things to sort out and first we wentt to the airport and then on our way back we went to the Gyle Shopping Centre for a quick walk. I thought Eryk could take some pictures of my outfit, since I somehow felt quite nicely dressed and wanted this outfit to be published on my blog. First of all, the lipstick. It's the AVON Wine With Everything lipstick, which is a beautiful burgundy, already nearly purple colour. I am in love with it and love wearing it with this hat that I got from Bata back in December when I was in Poland. I also wore black eyeliner as you can probably tell. Since finally, it wasn't windy at all (which is VERY rare here in Scotland), I decided to wear the hat and so I had to find a matching outfit. However, it is cold outside and very foggy and humidy, which is not so much like spring unfortunately. For this reason I wore my furry coat from H&M again. My burgundy satchel is from CCC that I got for Christmas from my cous...
