Summer manicures

Summer is slowly coming to an end, but that won't stop me from posting some more summer related topics. Summer is definitely not my favorite season, but it's the season when I go most crazy with my manicures with all neon colors and colorful designs.

 

Now you'll see three different manicures I did this summer I loved the most. I'll probably do a separate post just for my favorite out of these favorites so your job it to guess which one that will be.

My Essence lipstick collection

It's no secret that I absolutely love Essence. As I said many times before, they're super affordable, cruelty free, with some great products! What's not to love? Anyway, as I announced in one of previous posts, I'm going to show this collection separately. For my entire lip product collection, check My lipstick collection post.

I'm really happy to have this collection and I wish to get more. Stay tuned for my new make-up haul coming soon. I'm showing you both hand and lip swatches with and without flash so I really hope you'll like it.

Shopping tips

If you knew me, like really knew me, you would know that I love shopping. Honestly, I talk about it a lot more than I actually do it and my friends have a feeling I shop every single day, but I don't. I like to browse a lot and I am in stores every other day, but I rarely actually buy something. Why am I justifying myself to you?

I already shared with you my tips on how to shop online so check it out. Anyway, I'm here today to share 7 tips on how to shop and prepare yourself better as I went shopping just yesterday.
Note: BREAKING NEWS!!! You'll actually see everything I got! I announced try-on post a lot of times, but you'll get this one! Comment if you want it :)

Floral accent in chilly summer

I don't how it is at your place, but we're still in summer mode. I chose some outfits which were made around one floral piece. These are perfect for chilly summer nights (as well as these were I already published in a previous post Floral summer evening). For another summer outfits post read my Beach outfits | summer 2017 post.

Pizza roll recipe

I'm no cook. I think you know that by now, but I do enjoy quick and tasty meals. Most of my food ideas come from Tasty YouTube channel or their Facebook page. Although I always say I'll make something, I rarely actually do cause my mom still does the cooking around the house.

Since I was waiting for my brother to get home (and he's always hungry), I decided to make something really easy which I was sure he'll like.

I'm on a vacation | summer 2017

I wasn't sure whether I would do this or not, but I'm going on a vacation (I already am on a vacation as you read this) and I decided that my blog needs a week off too.

This wouldn't be the case if I had Internet on my vacation, but since I didn't manage to enable it and take my laptop with me, there won't be a post this next week. I'll be back soon and then we're gonna get back on track. I honestly hope that this one week vacation won't terribly affect my blog and that you'll still be here when I come back.

I'm coming back on 28th of August OR 4th of September with some new ideas!

As usual, thank you for coming, reading and commenting. Contact me if you have any suggestions or questions.

THANK YOU!

& have a great summer (or winter?)

4 smoothie recipes

Is summer perfect for smoothies or what? Although we're going towards the end of the summer, I'm still loving them and they're basically all I eat during these hot days. They're easy to make and so tasty. To be honest, I don't know if you can go wrong with mixing fruits.

Today I'll show you 4 easy recipes for really tasty smoothies I made. There are no weird ingredients or special ways of making them. You'll just need a blender and cute cups.

Pack with me

As I mentioned in a previous post about summer vacation skincare and beauty essentials, I'm going on a three week vacation. Now, I'm traveling by bus on some relations so I need to pack bus friendly - meaning one suitcase and maybe one backpack. 

I also made a free packing list for all seasons. I really hope you won't forget anything while packing. And now I'll show you just few tricks how to pack more efficiently with less things and more space.

Dream dressing room

I know I keep this blog mostly for beauty, hair and skin care products, but I got an email proposing an idea to design my dream dressing room. At first, I wasn't quite fond of the idea as I'm not that kind of blogger, but I do have a word 'lifestyle' in the title and, since I incorporated some recipes already, I think I can put here something different like this.

Note: Although they did reach out to me, this is not a sponsored post. I don't get anything by doing this. To be honest, I don't know what they're gaining out of this (since I'm not even mentioning them)...

My lipstick collection

Some time last year, I realized that putting on just a lipstick can make you look more put together in the shortest possible time and without any special effort so I started buying them. I haven't even thought I would reach for them this often. Since I realized I have more lipsticks and lipglosses than a "normal" girl would have, I thought it's time to share the collection with you.

I keep all my lip products in these two acrylic stands and one glass which is actually a candle holder painted in my currently favorite color - copper. I also modified larger stand so it would have more storage space and I showed it to you in my DIY post about it.
