Plastic and Stainless Steel Straw Hysteria
This article is about straw usage on a daily basis and states that in most cases straw usage is unnecessary. I am not writing about out of ordinary activities that actually might require straws. The stainless steel straw craze Slowly, all youtube gurus have started to use stainless steel straws. I’m just watching their videos amazed by the fact that: They need to drink with a straw. They drink all kind of stuff with a straw (lemonade, coffee, smoothies, milkshakes etc.) They don’t punch their teeth with the inox thingy. I understand that this craze comes from the fact that people use too much plastic. But… but… but… why the…

My Daily Routine Seen Through Some Giant Cat Paintings
I’ve stumbled upon some really cute paintings that depict giant cats with their human friend. The artist’s pseudonym is Monokubo. I realised that these 3 paintings reflect my main 3 moments in a day: 1. Writing and studying So yeah, this is basically me throughout most of the day. Cats are kind of bored and sleepy, but they understand my need of silence and concentration. 2. Getting stuff done This is also me doing stuff. I love the attitude of this giant fluffy cat. He is so sure about himself. 3. Bed time OK, I wrote and I worked and now… I’m just sleepy. I will sleep on this giant fluffy…

REVIEW: Payot expert points noirs
I tried for a month the Payot expert points noirs cream and this is my review. I was looking for a cream that I could apply on my blackheads after I cleaned my face with a micellar water. Since I have mixed skin, it was very important for me that the cream would not awfully dry my skin. Review: What I expected from Payot expert points noirs: Make the black color of the blackheads disappear. To tighten the pores so it would look as if I have craters on my skin. To prevent further appearance of blackheads. To hydrate my skin. Review: What I liked about the Payot expert points noirs What the Payot…

Uma Thurman’s eyes in Pulp Fiction famous scene
There is this scene in Pulp Fiction: It always reminded me of something. Of a painting maybe, a painting of Jesus on cross maybe. I don’t know if Tarantino thought about a specific work of art when he shot this frame, but it certainly is a great great picture. An amazing picture I would say! Plus Uma Thurman’s blue eyes are mesmerising! Anyhow, the only work of art prior to Pulp Fiction, with the same exact theme, that I can think of is this photo created by Man Ray. I’m pretty sure there is also a painting of Jesus but I can’t really remember it. Maybe you know it!…

Mega super duper cute (and very talented) cat videos
Today I came across an original thing on the internet and I am very excited about it. An artist that works in video editing field uses his cat to “improve” some famous movies and tv series. Besides the fact that the final result is amazing, I also enjoyed watching the “behind the scenes” videos. The cat absolutely loves it and it is a good example against those who think that cats are hard to be trained and are stubborn. So, here is an example of “cat in the video”. The movie is John Wick. The cat’s name is Owl. The owner’s name is Thibault (Tibo) Charroppin. I think these videos show…

REVIEW: Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream
I received this Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream as a gift. Because I have long, fine hair, prone to split ends, I use it in combination with this Moroccanoil treatment. I mix both products in my hand and I apply to my lengths (hair wet), then I blow dry or leave it to dry by itself. The styling cream is supposed to hydrate the hair and also have an frizz-ease effect. It hasn’t got any “hold” power. Although it does hydrate and does have an anti-frizz effect, it doesn’t do wonders. BUT I never met a product that did wonders to my hair and I can truly say this is the best…

What does “pulp” in Pulp Fiction mean?
Pulp Fiction is one of my all time favorite movies. I’ve seen it many many times and each time I enjoyed it. It’s a brilliant movie, very catchy and interesting to watch, very original and unlike any other movie. It’s fresh, cool, glam, romantic, it has guns, beautiful girls, cool guys, interesting human characters… So, have you ever wondered what does “pulp” in Pulp Fiction mean? Well, “pulp” generally refers to the pulp of a fruit (the creamy sweet stuff inside the peel). But Pulp Fiction refers to something else. From 1896 to the 1950s there were these cheap comics names “Pulp Magazines“. The magazines were printed on wood pulp paper. Wood pulp…

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…

My favorite dog breeds
I once read a joke on the internet: “If a labrador was given three wishes it would be eternal supply of food, eternal stomach, and more food”. LOL 😀 There is also this clip with a dog competition and a Golden Retriever… Well, this is why Labradors and Golden Retrievers are definitely not my favorite dog breeds. 🙁 Some people like these naughty and food obsessed dogs, but I definitely not like them. It is a mystery how these dogs got to be guide dogs for blind people (in movies at least, because in real life I saw that blind people use German Shepherds). The 2 breeds I dislike most are the…

REVIEW: Korres Lip Gloss (Cherry Light Pink no. 11)
I got the Korres Lip Gloss because I wanted a hydrating, tinted moisturizer and glossy “balm” for my lips. I remember I payed less than 10 Euros, but on their website I found it at the 15.50€ price. Maybe I just bought it on sale. Anyhow, I think that even 10€ is a little bit too pricey for what this lip gloss has to offer. The Korres Lip Gloss did the job I bought it for. It really was hydrating and glossy, but… it didn’t last on the lips. In one hour it was completely gone. Then again, it is a lip gloss, maybe it’s not unusual for a lip gloss to…
