  • A very good tea: Jardin Our Tea

    A very good tea: Jardin Our Tea

    I bought something from Joom and the seller, located in South Korea, sent me a gift composed by some facemasks and teas. Both of them were amazingly good!

    The tea is Jardin Our Tea, a Korean tea. Unfortunately, I didn’t find a way to buy it, but maybe in the future there will be a way.

  • Favorite November Foods

    Favorite November Foods

    This November I got some favorite foods that I particularly like eating. I don’t know why my body likes them so much, but here they are:

    It is not everything that I eat in a day, but it is what I like most this autumn. I also love beef stew, but I love it all year round, so I didn’t include it here.

    So, what do I like  eating this November?

    1. Schär gluten free bread with seeds. I don’t always eat gluten-free, but this bread feels so good to my gut.

    2. Roquefort cheese made from raw (unpasteurised) milk. I like the fact that it is made from raw sheep milk. It tastes better with a sip of red wine 🙂

    3. Labeyrie Terrine de Canard with foie gras. I put this on buttered bread and eat it with a little bit of cucumber and it tastes like heaven. It is made from duck meat and duck and goose liver and it is amazing.

    4. Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese . This cheese is very tasty and it is also made from raw milk, but unlike Roquefort, it is made from raw cow milk. I also like it because it doesn’t contain lab-made bacteria. Its bacteria comes solely from calf bowel.

    5. Eggs. I eat eggs all year round, but in autumn I feel a special need to eat them.

    6. Cucumbers. They are precursors of arginine, they are low in sugar and they are tasty (at least in combination with the Terrine).

    7. Mozart pralines and Pukka tea. I find it very relaxing to make a cup of tea (Pukka this autumn) and to drink it while eating a Mozart praline. Very cozy.

  • Simple and fast long layered haircut

    Simple and fast long layered haircut

    This is my go to haircut. When I want to freshen up my ends, I use this Kristy Maccone technique. It is suitable for long, thin hair in which you want some long smooth layers. Here are the steps to create this long layered haircut. For details check Kristy’s full video.

    1. Section your hair in 4 parts: 2 in front (the line above the ear) and 2 in the back of the head.

    2. Take the back parts and section them once more, each in half.

    3. In the back you have now 4 sections. Lift up each one of them, point your fingers towards the head (as seen in picture below, for that layered effect) and cut above the fingers.

    4. Divide also each one of the front sections, lift them up and cut diagonally just like you did with the others.

    This should be a super fast haircut.

    Kanye West – Donda Mix Test 666

    Kim Kardashian just posted an enigmatic photo on her IG Story with the music she is listening right now. This is the photo:

    Source: https://www.instagram.com/kimkardashian/

    A quick google search tells me that Donda is Kanye West’s new album.

    Apparently, Kim is listening to a custom made mix. All the songs have the same title: “Donda MIX TEST .06_06”. Unknown artist, unknown album…

    The photo was taken at the minute .06 of the song. You can join the dots, the 666 “dots”.

    I guess Kim and Kanye are really desperate for success, fame and money.

    On 28th August she posted on her IG an “arty” photo series titled “Donda”. It is a church which is set on fire.

     

  • Why Cole Sprouse shouldn’t be a celebrity

    Why Cole Sprouse shouldn’t be a celebrity

    Who is Cole Sprouse?

    Source: https://www.instagram.com/colesprouse/

    Cole Sprouse is a 29 y.o. American actor and he is apparently famous from his Disney collaborations, although I know him from Netflix’s Riverdale.

    Why he shouldn’t be a celebrity

    Because Cole Sprouse can’t stand the attention a celebrity normally gets. He has this thing called “Camera duels” and he describes it in the following way:

    “This instagram is dedicated to the people out there who secretly take photos of me, and how I take photos of them first. May the fastest camera win.”

    The images he posts are accompanied by texts that seem to be written by a 10 y.o. girl.

    Being photographed when in public comes with being a celebrity. Take it or leave it. Although it seems that Cole doesn’t understand this. He acts as a drama queen. Maybe it would be better for everybody if he would just quit Netflix and Disney and whatever media project he has in mind.

    The arty-farty

    Cole Sprouse is trying to create an image of himself where he is this deep, intellectual, artistic person. He started as a Disney actor, then he studied archaeology, then he gained fame for his Riverdale character, then he got interested in photography – mostly fashion photography but also some “arty” pictures, and then he writes these boring long texts on his Instagram pages as if he would also be a big literature consumer and wannabe poet.

    In fact, he is pretty bad at everything. His photographs are terrible, he has no eye for photography and has poor taste. Take this for instance:

    This – this is such a bad photo. No lines, no directions, no contrast, no nothing. He could have highlight the dirt path for example, but no… It’s just an awful photo that transmits zero aesthetic energy. And read his “witty” comment. What Orwellian dystopia are you dreaming of?! Did he even read the novel? He writes these things so he would look smart and interesting. If he would put all this effort into actually trying to get better, he would be better.

    Last but not least…

    He recently posted some photos with his new girlfriend and wrote: “Time to piss off the 14yos again.”

    Well, what a 29 y.o. actor who portrays an adolescent called Jughead would expect? Would he like it better if Monica Bellucci were to fall in love with him?

    What is wrong with the 14″yos” to like him? If not him, then who? Keanu Reeves who is 56 y.o. or maybe a little boy, a Disney boy?

    Cole doesn’t understand that he is a celebrity only because the 14″yos” like him. For everyone else he is just a clown. So he either be thankful to these adolescents, or he should quit his job.

     

     

  • Best Youtube Video on How to Professionally Layer Cut Your Own Hair

    Best Youtube Video on How to Professionally Layer Cut Your Own Hair

    After I managed to cut in simple layers my hair in an easy way, I felt that my hair needed something more professional, but still simple enough. I found the technique (and successfully tried it twice) on Kristy Maccone’s Youtube Channel. You can also follow Kristy on her Instagram.

    So, here is the hair cutting technique:

    1. Sectioning behind the ear

    You create two sections in the front of the face. You select the hair as showed in this picture.

    2. Strech each of these sections to the shoulder and cut it where you want.

    I just cut my dead ends… half an inch maybe, but it is worth it. Afterwords the hair will definitely look better.

    3. Take the hair in the back, strech it down and cut it straight

    Or do the “babushka” cut (in front) if you want a more curved haircut style.

    4. Back to the front sections

    This is a trick that I found to be extremely usefull. Tie down the bottom part of each front section and never cut it again in this session.

    5. Layer cutting

    If you don’t want to layer cut your hair, you can skip this part. Otherwise, you have to bring up a tiny section of hair from the back and cut it. Do this until you cut all the hair from the back.

    Even if you would raise all back hair, it all should be same length.

    6. Front adjusments

    One final cut at the same length.

    7. Final result

  • REVIEW: Wedderspoon Raw Premium Manuka Honey, KFactor 16

    REVIEW: Wedderspoon Raw Premium Manuka Honey, KFactor 16

    Types of Manuka Honey and why I chose Wedderspoon

    The majority of Manuka Honeys have an MGO factor, the higher, the better.

    I heard the wonders of Manuka Honey and I wanted to try it too. It just happened that the store had a Wedderspoon sale and I bought the one you can see in the photos. I was aware that Wedderspoon isn’t MGO certified and have their own scale, “Kfactor”, but it didn’t bother me. I like diversity in products.

    Manuka Honey – Does it really work?

    Manuka honey is known for its antibiotic-like effect, but without the downsides of real antibiotics. It is said that Manuka kills pathogens, but saves good bacteria, like Lactobacilli.

    For me, it really worked. Although it didn’t do wonders and wasn’t as good as a real antibiotic, it was definitely better than any other natural “antibiotic” that I ever tried.

    Next time I am thinking of trying another Manuka Honey, one that is MGO certified and I will definitely try a high MGO. I will come back and write about it.

    How does Manuka honey taste?

    At first I was a little bit taken by surprise by its taste. It may seem a bit strange at first, but then it is really delicious.

    As time passes, it becomes more and more yummy. Now all I can say is that Manuka and Acacia honeys are my favorite!

    Did I every try another Manuka honey?

    Yes, I tried one which I bought from Lidl. It came, of course, from New Zealand but it didn’t taste nowhere near as good as Wedderspoon and it didn’t have any effect at all.

    I also tried Manuka Health – MGO 100+. It tasted amazing, just like (or even better) Wedderspoon, but since the MGO was low (only 100), it didn’t have any antibiotic-like effect. I am planning in the future to buy a Manuka Health with a higher MGO (maybe 500+) and see what happenes.

  • REVIEW: Moroccanoil Smooth Shampoo + Conditioner

    I’ve used from Moroccanoil the Repair Shampoo, the Moroccanoil Moisture & Shine Shampoo and now the Smooth shampoo and conditioner.

    What I liked about the Smooth duo:

    • It really reduces the frizz without weighing down the hair
    • It does prevent split ends
    • Hair is easy-ish to comb after washing it with this Moroccanoil duo
    • Hair feels healthy, smells nice
    • It is easy with the scalp, it doesn’t make it itchy or greasy and it doesn’t create dandruff

    What I didn’t like about it:

    • Although the smell is really nice, it comes a time in a girl’s life when she wants something that contains as few chemicals as possible. So, I would definitely prefer a shampoo version without any fragrance.
    • I didn’t find a clear table with all its ingredients and I fear that the silicones in it might “strangle” my hair on the long term. Although I am not sure about this, I have a feeling that it would be better to alternate the Moroccanoil Smooth duo with a more natural shampoo and conditioner.

    TIP:

    All Moroccanoil Shampoos and conditioners must stay 2 minutes on hair. Don’t apply and wash instantly, they need a little time to action.

    General feeling:

    The Smooth duo was better for my fine, long, frizzy hair than the Repair duo, but not as good as the Moisture and Shine version.

  • REVIEW: Hair Scissors Jaguar Satin Plus 5.5 inch

    REVIEW: Hair Scissors Jaguar Satin Plus 5.5 inch

    I got the Jaguar Satin Plus 5.5 inch hair scissors a few days ago and it wasn’t an easy decision. There are so many options when it comes to hair scissors. I ended up buying these particular scissors because they were in my budget (100€ approximately), they are made in Germany and because I like the brand.

    No more white dots on your hair tips

    For me, this is the most important thing. This is why I wanted a good hair scissor.

    When I cut my hair with a paper scissor (the kind you get from any market), I could see little white dots on my hair tips. With the Jaguar scissors the white dots are 98% gone. I don’t say 100% because I still might see some white dots, but the difference is huge. After cutting it with this sharp scissors, the hair looks so much better.

    The length is optimal

    At first I was afraid that 5.5 inch might be too small, but after cutting several people’s hair, I realised that the length is really good.

    I hesitated a lot between 5.5 inch and 6 inch and even 6.5 inch, but I chose the 5.5 one because I read on the internet that most people prefer this length. Now I am happy with my chioce.

    Beware of Van Gogh

    Since it is really sharp, it can cut the ear for example… or the finger, which was what happened to me.

    Micro-serration vs. slice

    There is another Jaguar hair scissors, very similar to the one I got. It is called simply Jaguar Satin, without the “Plus” and it is slightly cheaper. The difference between the two is that the “Plus” one has a “slice” cutting edge / blade and the simple one has micro-serration.

    I read that scissors with micro-serration don’t need to be sharpened. The “slice” scissors will eventually need a professional sharpening. Since I use my scissors at home, at first I thought I might be a better idea to buy one that doesn’t need sharpening, since I don’t even know where to sharpen it.

    But then I read that the “slice” scissors have a better, cleaner cut. And since my main interest was to avoid getting those white dots on my hair tips, I ended up choosing the slice cutting edge.

    Doesn’t hurt the hand

    Since I’m new at this, a haircut might take me some time, like an hour or so. Before having the Jaguar hair scissors, I used a paper scissor, and after using it some minutes, my hand started to hurt. But with the Jaguar, it is a pleasure to hold it.

    How to clean this hair scissors?

    Take a fine brush and gently brush off the hair remains.

    Not suitable for bigger hands

    The scissors are small. The circles where you place your fingers are really tiny and they definitely don’t fit a person with bigger hands.

    I wonder why they are made so tiny. Probably so that the user can control the scissors really well. But if you have bigger hands, maybe you should buy something else.

    Is this the best hair scissor?

    In this budget, I think the Jaguar Satin Plus 5.5 inch hair scissors is a pretty good choice. It looks nice, it is easy to use, it cuts the hair really well.

    How do I cut my hair?

    There are some videos on Youtube that I prefer. I wrote an article about them and about the steps that I follow when cutting my hair.
