Since these days everyone is cutting their own hair at home, I thought it might be a good ideea for me to try it too. Also, I had a lot of split ends lately and I needed to get rid of them.

I also wanted a more complex cut, to make sure more split ends get cut, not only the ones from the bottom. After…

Cute 3000 Years Old Women’s Sandals from Ancient Egipt + Ancient Greek Boots bonus
I always like to see in museums ancient pieces of clothing and footwear. I somehow feel they bring us closer to the ancient people, perhaps in a more intimate fashion than observing their ruins and tools. I also like to see these pieces because many times they are surprisingly similar to today’s fashion. Once again, this makes me feel closer to ancient people, considering that our mentality is not so different from theirs. For instance, I found these ancient Egyptian sandals in Neues Musem in Berlin. Even though we live in the Age of Internet, some things in which people aren’t very interested, are still scarce online. This is the…

Why would anyone in this world want to wear polyester socks?
Ugh… Every time I go shopping for socks I must spend my time searching for the right materials. About 95% of the socks I find on the market, ranging from random hypermarkets to expensive brands, contain a certain amount of polyester. I understand that polyester is cheaper, but in my opinion it is absolutely wrong to wear polyester socks. They are completely useless. They cause rashes to the skin, suffocate the skin and doesn’t let it breathe, making it sweat and are useless during winter because they don’t keep warm. Polyester socks are good if you need something really cheap, for a really short time. But that’s it. If you…

I really like them and the good thing about the glitter is that it acts like a really good top coat. Zero chips for about one week. That’s…
