A Day By The Poolside

Hello everybody!
I am so sorry that I kept you waiting for so long again but I only arrived in Vienna on Wednesday evening and then I was working 3 days straight, so only today is the first good opportunity to write a little bit.
Since it's Sunday and the weather was beautiful my mum, brother and cousin went to the swimming pool, which obviously has an outdoor pool too, so we could tan and the kids could play in the water.
I was planning on getting a tan in Poland already but since the weather over there was just disgusting during my stay, I only got the slightest tan really. 

And today I got to relax so well in this heat and sunshine, swimming around once in a while. I loved it and I could seriously spend all of my free days like that! That's what I've been waiting for since last summer actually.

Now, this is the outfit I wore on the way to the pool:
lace crop top - Primark
shorts - H&M
jelly shoes - CCC

This is just such a comfy outfit- I wasn't too hot without showing too much skin, you know.


We stayed at the pool for about 4,5 hours in the strongest sun and since I tan so, so quickly I came back home all red/brown. When I took off my bikini I couldn't stop laughing at myself because my body underneath it is WHITE. ( I really mean white.)
The weirdest thing is that I look burnt, just like my mum and brother but they are complaining about their skin being sore, which I actually don't experience. I'm a really lucky person when it comes to tanning.

both my crop top and the shorts are from Primark.



As you can tell, this looks pretty worrying, but fear not! I am alright! Hopefully the redness will be gone by tomorrow. 

I already wish I could go back to the pool tomorrow but unfortunately I'll be working all day long, so let's keep our fingers crossed that the weather from Tuesday til Friday will be just amazing as it was today and yesterday.


When I came home I took a cool shower and treated my body with the Garnier Ambre Solaire After Sun lotion, which I already got last year in Scotland. I love its smell, it reminds me of the beach. It also soothes your skin after a long day of tanning and it prevents it from peeling off. 
I also got my hands on the cooling body mist from Ziaja when in Poland and this is also such a great product! You can use it on your face, body and hair and it is so lightweight and relaxing! Plus, the smell is just as amazing!

Those two products are my life savers this summer. ;)

I hope you had a lovely, sunny day too!

Christmas Wishlist In October?!

Image
When I was a child I used to write my wishlists for Christmas already in October. I have no idea why, but I thought it was a good thing to write down all my dream gifts as early as possible, as by Christmas I'd already forget all of them and I would remember them again when it was already too late. So, I still like to write down what I'd like to buy myself, what I'd like to put money aside for, or what I'd like to get for Christmas or my Birthday. I totally hate it when people ask me what I'd like to get and I just can't think of anything, even though there are always some small things I dream of.. Well, today I thought I could share five ideas for Christmas, that would make me extremely happy if I got them (or bought myself). 1) I would like to have a new bag for College. I have one at the moment, the GABS one, but it is too colourful to wear it with every outfit, which totally annoys me. But this is my only big bag, and I need a big one because I nee

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water | Review

Image
Today I finally decided to write a short review about the Garnier Micellar water, that many girls consider as a dupe of the Bioderma cleanser. I've been using this product for about a month or so now and I think it is about time to let you know what I, personally think about it. What information is given about the product: *good for sensitive skin * hypoallergenic * no perfume * removes make-up, cleanses, soothes * 200 uses 1) As you can see, I've used nearly half of the bottle and it says that it lasts for 200 uses. I've probably not even used it 40 times yet and it doesn't really look as if I could use it for 160 more uses. Of course, I know that this number is just an average number, but still, I think that it could be used for about 100 times, more than 200 to be honest. If I use it, then I use two small cotton pads, so I also don't use too much of the cleanser itself. It is strong, because one cotton pad takes off the make up of half of my face,

Ziaja Body Lotion Review

Image
Hi again! A few weeks ago I already posted a photo on my Instagram ( which is here ), where I showed the 4 Ziaja body lotions I got to try and when I saw their generous packaging my first thought was: When will I use these all? But I was very happy about that because I got to find out which one is my favourite and which one I like using more on certain days etc. Thanks to the big choice I can also stay away from buying even more body lotions, which is great! ( I'm so into body lotions, it's crazy) The 3 bottles are 400ml each and they are from the Cocoa butter , Goat's milk and Natural Olive range.  The Coconut lotion comes in a 200ml packaging, so it's good for taking it on holidays or on a sleepover etc.  To give you an idea of these products I will quickly talk you through them. Let's start with the Olive range: It moisturises your skin thoroughly and leaves it silky soft and smooth. What is also great about it, is that it can even be use
