REVIEW: Baylis & Harding Body Lotion with mandarin and grapefruit
I got this Baylis & Harding Sweet Mandarin and Grapefruit body lotion from a friend from England. To be honest, I wasn’t very excited about it because I didn’t think it would be something that I would personally like. To my surprise, I came to really like it! Baylis & Harding products are sold especially in Debenhams, UK (one of my favorites stores in England ♥). They are sold mostly as gift sets and aren’t very expensive (around 10£). Discreet scent What I LOVED about this product is the smell! It is very discreet, delicate and fresh. You can really feel the citrus scent, but not as if you just ate…

The art of today. My favorite contemporary painter: JANET HILL
Hi everyone! I am very excited to share with you one of my favorite present day artist, whom I admire and follow ever since I discovered her paintings. I hope I will succeed in writing a nice article about her (more like a short biography + some of my thoughts) and arouse your interest for her work. I’ve been delighting my eyes with her paintings for at least 7 years now, so I thought I should write something about her because there are many people who would love her work but don’t know about her yet. Her name is Janet Hill, she is a canadian painter. She studied art at…

Sophia Thomalla’s funny pink rabbit hat
Sophia Thomalla is a German socialite. She is 28 y.o. and despite the age gap, she was Till Lindemann’s girlfriend and then Gavin Rossdale’s. She has a lot of tattoos and one of them is Till’s face tattooed on her arm. Pretty strange I’d say… Anyhow, her infamous tattoo is not the point of this post. The point is her extremely funny hat I’ve seen on her Facebook page. She looks happy with this hat and I would love to have one. I wonder where she bought it from… Look how cute is this pink rabbit hat! ❤ I think Sophia Thomalla is a really nice girl and I hope in the…

A wonderful butterfly dress worn by Penny Coomes
Last weekend I saw a live transmission of the ISU EUROPEAN FIGURE SKATING CHAMPIONSHIPS® 2018 from Moscow. I like watching figure skating because I find it very relaxing. I love the smooth sliding on the ice, the beautiful music, the elegant movements and the amazing costumes. Talking about amazing costumes, there was one with which I fell in love with! It was warn by the ice dancer Penny Coomes (if you would like to follow her, check her Instagram account) from Great Britain, when she performed a beautiful dance with her partner Nick Buckland. The music was Muse – Butterflies and Hurricanes and Penny was supposed to be the butterfly and Nick…

My favorite lipstick of all time: Max Factor Lipfinity (020 angelic)
I didn’t use to wear lipsticks because I tend to smudge them and in just a few minutes my lips would look horrible. I also have very dry lips, so I must use lip balm all time. It seemed that I had no chance in wearing lipstick and sometimes I really wanted to have colored lips. Then the miracle happened. About 5 years ago I’ve discovered the Max Factor Lipfinity lipstick in the shade 020 angelic. In fact, it was a friend who gave me this lipstick as a Christmas gift. She was a big fan of this lipstick and she had been using it for years. I remember very well the day…

My favorite non-alcoholic beer: Clausthaler unfiltered
I really like non-alcoholic beer: it is refreshing in summer, nourishing in winter and have tons of health benefits. Unfortunately, I had hard times trying to find a non-alcoholic beer to match my taste. I am not a gourmet expert and I don’t know how to express the things that I don’t like in a regular non-alcoholic beer. It lacks something, it has too much of something else, its consistency is strange, my tongue would feel odd… Does this make any sense? A certain period of time I’ve drunk radlers (half beer, half lemon juice – or some other juice) but I didn’t like them very much because: 1. They did contain…

REVIEW: Clinique Sparkle Skin Body Exfoliating Cream
This is by far the most expensive shower gel (not a gel actually, more like a cream) that I’ve ever had, although I wouldn’t say it is by far the best one I’ve ever had, but it definitively makes top 5. In Germany it costs 32 EUR but I in U.S.A. I found it with 26.50 DOLLARS. 😐 I don’t know what’s the deal, but anyway, it is an expensive product. Pros The best thing about it is the action it has on the body. It really (but really) makes the skin smooth. Its consistency is the best of any other exfoliating cream I’ve ever used. The exfoliating grains are perfect (as number,…

REVIEW: Marina Abramovic – Walk Through Walls: A Memoir
About Marina Abramovic and her book Marina Abramovic is a performance artist, known for pushing her limits with her body by pain and stillness. I’ve known her artwork for a while now and, although I am not a big fan of this kind of art, I always appreciated the fact that she explored other ways of expressing the emotions. By pushing her limits she also pushed the boundaries of art, and for that I appreciate her very much. When her book, titled Walk Through Walls: A Memoir, was released (25th October 2016), I was keen to read it. I bought it from Amazon for about 20$. It is not cheap, but not…

Cutest Guacamole Recipe [Not Really a Recipe]
Have you ever wondered how guacamole is made? Is there any “recipe” for guacamole? Where does it come from? What’s its origin? Well, I did wonder and this was the answer: In Mexico there is this tiny animal and his name is Cucaracha. This animal, although its name could be translated into English as “Cockroach”, doesn’t in fact have nothing to do with the insect. Cucaracha is a cute little animal, a little bit furry, who wears a big mexican hat. He is very friendly and brave. He always has a gun and he defends Mexico when needed. The girls are crazy about him. No one has succeeded in photographing Cucaracha. He…

Give and Receive: A Good Start for 2018
Today, a very good friend of mine cleaned her wardrobe and selected the things she didn’t want to wear anymore or those which she hasn’t used in a while. I did the same with my wardrobe. Then we met and exchanged some stuff and the remaining stuff we’re going to give to some other people. I think this is a great activity (especially for a good start for a new year) and everyone should do it because there are so many benefits: You get to have more space in your closet You receive cute stuff that you will like Other people will benefit from what you don’t like You get…
