The Story of Carli Bybel and Her Old Friend, DJ Sam
The rooftop Many many years ago, when I started watching Carli Bybel‘s videos, an interesting detail from one of her videos caught my attention. She was talking (and drawing) about a tough period in her life and one about the fact that night she was sitting on a rooftop with her friend, Sam, both unhappy and searching a way to fulfill their dreams. It was then, on the rooftop, when Carli decided to start a Youtube Channel and Sam decided to follow a career in DJing. The rooftop, the night, the decisions… I don’t know why I’ve always found this picture mysterious and interesting. Who is Sam? Carli mentioned Sam…

Benefits of Coconut Butter – How and When to Use It
Healthy oils and butters Everyone is talking about the health benefits of different types of oils and butters. Over the years I used olive oil, avocado oil, shea butter, castor oil and so on. Some people say they are great for hair (and if you read the labels from the hair products, most of them contains some kind of oils and butters). The same is true with skin products. Well, for me none of these worked. Skin benefits of Coconut Butter First of all, I must admit that in winter, nothing helps my dry skin, except the Bioderma hand cream. No natural product helped me and no other chemical products…

What happened with Carli Bybel and Nicole Gandino?
If you’re here because you were wondering about the current relation between Carli Bybel and Nicole Gandino, it means that you already know who the two are, thus I will skip the introductions. Sorry if I might be a little bit offtrack, but I need to go round a bit in order to understand what happened between them. Carli’s current videos and friends It’s been a long time since Carli posted a video with Nicole (Moo). She also doesn’t mention her anymore. Instead, Carli features in her videos her family (father, mother, sister, little cousin) and her boyfriend, Anthony Tango. She also did a work-out video with a girl that…

REVIEW: Lifeology Gift Set Waterlily & Pink Pepper
I’ve got this Lifeology gift set from Marks & Spencer. Sorry for the bad photo and the messed up package. The package looks good actually, really cute. Here is my review: The Lifeology body wash & the bath foam It smells amazing. The smell persists on skin, but not in an annoying way. The smell also persists in the bathroom, which is nice. It doesn’t dry the skin. It’s a pretty normal body wash with a nice texture. The Lifeology body butter and the hand cream The ingredients are slightly different between the body butter and the hand cream, but both smell really nice (all products tend to have the…

REVIEW: Kerastase Extensioniste Shampoo
Shampoo history I’ve been using the Kerastase Extensioniste Shampoo for several months. I always use it in conjecture with the Kerastase Extensioniste Hair Balm. Before this combo, I used the Moroccanoil Body Moisture & Shine Shampoo & Conditioner. Both products are really good for fine, long hair, prone to frizziness and breakage. I also tried several other Kerastase shampoos, but none worked for me as good as Extensioniste did. Why I like Kerastase Bain Extensioniste Shampoo From the very first use, it made my hair look better (even though I was using the Moroccanoil which already made my hair nice). Even after months of using only this shampoo, it didn’t…

REVIEW: Weider Nut Protein Choco Vegan Crunchy
Vegan or simple? When buying a few Weider products for my family, I decided to try the Weider Nut Protein Choco Vegan Crunchy. I oscillated between the vegan nut choco and the simple one (NUT PROTEIN CHOCO), but ultimately I chose the Vegan Nut Protein Choco because it contains 16% hazelnuts, whereas the simple one contains only 11% hazelnuts. Also, in comparison with the simple Choco and with other chocolate spreads, it doesn’t contain palm oil. It is also gluten free. How does it taste? Very good. I used to like Nutella, but I hate it because it has tons of sugar and it is unhealthy because of the chemicals…

A Radio That Is Perfect for Summer
I’ve been searching for a long time a radio that I could listen in summer, something that would be kind of chill, yet dinamic, like a good house music, without the annoying rythmes, something that would also have a voice in the background. I found this radio at the local swimming pool. Since first day at this swimming pool I thought that they have really nice music but I didn’t realize it was a radio station. Next days I payed attention and I catched the phrase “Vanilla Radio”. I also realized that the hosts spoke in Greek, so yeah, it is radio station from Greece. They have several radio “flavors”:…

Something interesting: music by Laid Back, video by Lars von Trier
In 1990, the band Laid Back released “Bakerman” song. It is a very chill song and it sounds really good. The lyrics are about a man who is baking bread and about the fact that we must chill. If you think it as a metaphor, you can easily guess who the Baker Man really is 🙂 But what’s more interesting and really funny about this song is its official video, which is directed by Lars von Trier. You should watch it: You may be confused about the video, which appears to have nothing to do with the idea of a baker man. BUT, if you think it through, and…

Sigmund Freud’s favorite music album
I was re-listening the other day a very good music album and I suddenly realized that the greatest psychoanalyst of all time, Sigmund Freud, would have loved it. The album starts with a song that seems to be a twisted, gloomy children story. Then it follows a song about a man who shouts instructions and orders. Then there is a song about the sun / son – you never really know which one, but Freud would say it is about a lost son. Also, this song was released with a video in which a fairy tale princess beats the poor dwarfs. This is followed by a song in which a…

REVIEW: Palmer’s Coconut Oil Lip Balm SPF 15
A lip balm is never missing from my purse. I always use some type of lip balm, but during summer and winter I need something special. In winter, it is too cold for normal lip balms, so I use the Cattier Lip Care or The Bioderma lip balm or something else that is really hydrating. My summer lip balm During summer I need a lip balm that has SPF. I tried using a normal lip balm at the beach, but in the evening I felt my lips a little bit burned. Since then, I always use this Palmer’s Coconut Oil Lip Balm SPF 15. How many times do I apply…
