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...

April is coming to an end and again, this month I've found some new things that I am obsessed with. Since it was my Birthday just yesterday, I had some things on my Birthday wishlist that I already got, but there are also some more that need to be bought yet. However, the first thing for today, and that I bought myself as a gift is Bioderma. Bioderma was on my mind from the time I've run out of my last bottle around the end of last year or so. I was planning on buying two half litre bottles but then they were sold out once I had some spare money left and then I decided to wait again. I finally got myself a smaller bottle, 250ml, of the Bioderma Hydrabio H2O, which is made for dry skin. I usually had the Sebium version, since my skin is oily and I just loved the Sebium Bioderma, but now I decided to try this one out because lately my skin has become very spotty and around all the spots my skin is flaking off and you can see it underneath all the make-up. It annoys me a...

I feel like my 18th Birthday was just some weeks ago, and now I am already officially 19! If you are curious about how things looked like exactly one year ago, click here ! Today I actually had to work from 9 until 6 in the evening, so I can basically say that I spent all day long at work, wasting my Birthday. For this reason it is not really such a special day, even though I do feel pretty excited and I don't even know why. Once I came home a "Happy Birthday" banner welcomed me in front of our room. When I came in I felt so emotional seeing all the pink balloons hanging around the walls and some more banners above the bed. I also got a box of Raffaello's, a beautiful card and a "Birthday Girl" rosette, which is super cute. Since Eryk is still at work and will be home late I will watch some series, have some tea and ice cream, because that's probably everything I am allowed to get from the kitchen. Eryk told me not to open the fridge until he'...

Today we got up pretty early and without even having breakfast we decided to get some grocery shopping done and instead of taking the bus we went for a walk. Just across the road, there is pure nature. There is a river, the Water of Leith, there are horses, llamas and sheep. It's all in a forest with a walkpath. I am not really into such areas because of the fear of ticks and other weird insects, but today I pretty much enjoyed it. I liked being at the river. I feel like water always calms me down and I like being at the sea or a lake, which makes me miss Poland, because sometimes we went to the seaside for holidays and it's our dream to go there again this year, but who knows if we'll manage. After we found our way out of the forest again, we did the shopping and took the bus home because the shopping bags were a bit too heavy to walk all the way back. We thought of going somewhere else today, since the weather is pretty nice, though not to sunny any more, but we'l...

Today it's actually really warm here in Edinburgh (20 degrees!) and I loved it! I had to go to College and didn't really know what to wear because I was scared the weather would suddenly change and I would be cold wearing a nice, summery outfit. However, I decided to risk it and wore a dress, a little cardigan, flats and decided to take my trench coat with me to keep myself warm should it rain or so. But it didn't rain and I was definitely not cold, and I didn't even wear any tights today which made this day my first bare legged day of the year! After College I quickly did the most important shopping and headed home, ate something and then we went out for a walk to enjoy the sunshine for a bit longer. This time we didn't take Maya with us, even though the area we went to was more appropriate to let a ferret run around, but we just didn't feel like it really. I decided to wear sandals, because my poor toes are still sore and wearing closed shoes for a longe...

Today my holidays are over, I had to go back to College and it was pretty annoying and boring I have to say. After College I quickly went home and Eryk and I took Maya for a walk in Balerno, since the weather is just beautiful and you definitely can't waste such a nice day here in the UK. We first went to buy some juice and then picked up some chips with sauce and tried to find a bench to eat in the sunshine. However, we couldn't find any benches at all and ended up walking around the area, In the end we decided to just sit down in the grass, where we had a little picnic. Maya was very nousy and wanted to smell and see everything, which complicated our picnic a lot, but that was to expect. She would take off her harness and that's pretty dangerous of course. In the end we tied her harness to my bag so she wouldn't run away but the harness kept getting off anyways. So we decided to take the bus back home after about an hour of being outside. When we got home, we...

This week has been preeeetty busy for us to be honest. We went on a birthday party, I went to town a lot, bought some things, enjoyed the pretty weather as much as I could. The ferret has also been the cutest in this vlog, being super good friends with the llama I got for my birthday last year from my best friend Nina. Now it's Friday again and this means my Easter holidays are over. I'll be working all weekend long again, as always, and on Monday I'm back to College and I am pretty sure it's gonna be really stressful from now on because of the upcoming exams in both of my courses. I even got a booklet with exam preparation tips sent to my house and I was a bit confused with that but I've read it and think I should be fine. Eryk went to meet his friends and I'll just go to town for a bit to not bore myself to death here, home alone. I really shouldn't buy anything but you can never know what will actually happen... So, without any more explanat...

Eryk and I went for a walk this afternoon and enjoyed the last warm sunshine of the day. In a fancy shop in the area we've been, we got ourselves some ice cream, but Eryk still doesn't feel too well and he decided not to eat anything. Still, we bought two ice cones and a tasty lemonade, that just looked too cute for me to not take it with me. I thought it would have a really zesty taste but it actually tastes more like apple than lemon to me - but I really like it! I know I have a very sexy look here, I am just perfect with posing in the sun... Juice in one hand, ice cone in the other - great! My clothes are all very recent purchases (apart from those shoes that I got last year) as you may realise if you've seen my previous clothes/ haul posts and videos. Trench coat - Pimkie Blouse - Miss Selfridge Jeans - Bershka Flats - Lasocki Satchel - Fossil Sunglasses - Love Moschino My belly looks really bad in this picture, but I guess in the first it doe...

Today Eryk and I were supposed to go to town together but since he doesn't feel too well and he also had to wait for his new phone to be delivered, he stayed at home and I went on my own. It was really sunny but from time to time there were tiny rain drops coming pouring down and I got annoyed. I also met a friend from College so we stood in the kind of rain talking for a while after I was done with the shopping and about to go home. Here's my outfit and also something I bought myself for my Birthday... My trenchcoat is from Pimkie, as you may probably already know from this haul video . It's perfect for the weather just now because in the shadow it does get pretty chilly, and I am not too happy when I'm cold... My sweater is from New Look and I got it ages ago. It's a peachy colour I'd say and definitely not a warm jumper. I paired it with my black skater skirt from H&M that I also got a long time ago, back when I still lived in Vienna. I think ...

I was browsing the Internet for some new dinner ideas and found this cake recipe by accident - it was not supposed to be dinner! Since I had all the needed ingredients at home, I decided that I could have a try. So I did and here's the recipe, should you want to try it too! INGREDIENTS: -3 cups of plain flour -1 cup of oil -1 cup of milk -3 eggs -3 full tablespoons of cocoa ( I went for pure cocoa powder, so my cake is a bit more bitter than it would turn out if I used sweet cocoa- I guess you can choose whatever you like more.) - half of a jar of your favourite jam ( I've used apricot jam, but I can't really tell it is in the cake) -2 teaspoons of soda - I also added 1 teaspoon of vanilla sugar You can make a chocolate icing too, but I didn't have it at home, so I didn't do it. STEPS: 1) Preheat your oven to 180 degrees. 2) Mix the eggs and sugar until you get a smooth texture. 3) Then, add the liquids - the milk, oil and the jam. Mix wel...

Lately I've somehow discovered this hairstyle, even though girls have been wearing it already for ages!  I could never really tell that I would look good/ acceptable with a ponytail made of half of my hair. One day I tried to leave the side parting I usually have and to pull my hair back on the sides instead of pulling it all back, leaving my hair with no parting, which definitely doesn't look good. So, leaving the parting and putting some hair into this little pony tail, leaving it a bit messy, letting some front strands frame my face, makes a hairstyle that I think finally looks cute and is comfortable to wear. My hair does not go into my face all the time and I don't feel like a child either. I like to put my pink sunglasses ( from Marks&Spencer) into my hair, because I think that it looks even nicer than without them, and sometimes the sun does even come out and sunglasses may be handy, right? I also only use one thin hair band and don't need to put in...

Hello everyone! I was thinking about my blog recently pretty often and also didn't blog on some days. Blogging everyday means having material to blog about for every day, which is nezrly impossible for me just now. I am studying and was working all weekend long. I couldn't go out to take any outfit pictures, I was wearing my work uniform as well, so there is no OOTD for me during the weekends. I also have nothing just now in beauty that I could write about spontaneously. I would prefer to take myself a bit time, to think about topics, interesting topics, and to write better entries, rather than just trying to find a quick subject every day and writing something down quickly to make sure people have something new to read every single evening. However, I don't even have that many viewers so I feel like I am wasting quite a lot of time at the moment. I thought about blogging only twice a week, rather than every day. Maybe Moday and Thursday would be good, or Tuesday an...

As I bought quite a lot and also got some gifts in Poland, I decided to make a video to show you all the clothes and other bits and bobs from beauty to home. I always like watching such videos, so I thought that maybe you would be interested in me doing one too. When it comes to clothes I bought three pairs of skinny jeans, a trench coat and two blouses. I also bought myself two pairs of leather shoes as an early Birthday gift. Beauty wise I bought a mascara, some nail polish and a face moisturiser. And then I even got some little things for our room too. Of course, sweets and other gifts had to be included too. I was really happy about the pretty sunshine today again because I could finally film a bit outside, like the Lookbook at the end of this haul video. Unfortunately one half of the nearly ready video broke and I had to refilm it, so I am quite close to the camera there, in case you are wondering why there was a change. I hope that you enjoy watching it and maybe you ...

Today I was so excited when I got up and saw that the sun was shining. The temperature was going up and up throughout the day and now my phone says 18 degrees, which is just amazing! I had to do the grocery shopping, since Eryk isn't home, bur first I went to the bank in town and also enjoyed the sunshine. On my way back I went to ASDA and bought so many things that I wasn't even sure whether I could carry so much and I surely looked like an idiot carrying around those three shopping bags, but well, it was food, right? Back home I unpacked everything and did the laundry, hung it outside and did the second part of the laundry while having a little picnic with Maya in the garden. I had some ice cream and orange juice and Maya was happy enough to run around the grass with no leash on! She was a very good girl and I didn't even need to run after her all the time. Then I put her back in her cage and started editing the Easter vlog, which is currently uploading to Youtube....

Yesterday we left Poland and came back to Vienna, which is the reason why I wasn't blogging. Today I got up early and once my mum brought Noah to nursery, we went to town to have a look at the shops as I was supposed to buy myself some jeans finally. What I got in Poland and Austria you will see in a separate video and blog entry too. Just now I am trying to manage all the footage for the vlog, to bring everything overseas and it is a bit tricky because I have more than I expected. In two and a half hours we will be off to Bratislava again, to the airport since I'm flying at 6 pm already. Another big issue is the luggage stuff because I only have hand luggage and my bag with me so I can't overpack in case they will check the weight. And since I got quite a lot over here,... well, it will be tricky and I have to pack another time, sorting out what I want to leave here. This makes me a bit nervous because I don't like such issues when it comes to travel, but I'm...

Today we were hoping for better weather but soon we saw huge snow flakes outside the windows and later also a horrible hail storm. It feels like winter and it is pretty sad because spring should be already here with all the vibrant colours and sunshine. Oh well. I've checked the weather forecast for Edinburgh and when I saw the 18° C appearing on the screen I just couldn't believe and I felt even more sad. Now that I could finally enjoy some warm days, I can't because here it is just terrible. Everyone is tired and laying on the sofas, watching tv and not doing much and thinking of leaving Poland tomorrow makes me feel a bit like I'm wasting my time. So, to show you what I'm wearing today, here is my outfit! The full outfit consists of my favourite high waisted and fitted denim skirt with the zip that goes all the way down. I got it from House in Poland after Christmas. The crop top is from Topshop and I borrowed it in October and still have it. Whoops! It ...

Today is the main day of Easter celebrations and we had a huge family breakfast all together and then we were just laying on the sofas, watching TV, having tea, coffee and cake and we also had naps. Great! I wore the same dress that I had on my Graduation day last summer and i thought it was a good occasion to start wearing it again this spring. The dress is from Forever21 and I totally love the look of it, the split on the leg part and that it is more fitted around the legs than the dresses I usually wear. I had to wear transparent/ nude tights because black ones would look terrible obviously. On top I wore my Zara cardigan, which is an option I go for very, very often, especially when wearing dresses during warmer times of the year. You can't really see my make-up, but I applied some pink/ purple eye shadow from my Bourjois Quad in 02 Over Rose and drew a thin line using the Avon Glimmer Stick pencil. I got myself the green Rimmel Scandaleyes mascara yesterday and a...
