SIMPLE DUO DUTCH BRAIDS

Hello everyone.

Right now it’s 1.40 am and I decided to write a post but I’ll be posting it at 12 pm because everyone’s asleep right now. When I get frustrated at something or someone I always like to do something with myself. I hate lying in bed and think about what happened. So today’s that day (or night) and I decided to write this post. Some people are just so hypocritical and ignorant. I know a lot of people judge you but don’t even know you. I mean what is up with that? Okay if you are being judged by a friend or a family but by someone you don’t even know very well? By someone who you don’t talk to on a daily basis? What is that? I just don’t get some people. I mean usually these things don’t upset me because I’ve seen a lot of stupid things but today I was actually in shock that I got a certain remark. After a few moments and a talk with my friend I realised it’s not worth my time. I mean these things happen on a daily basis. People are that way. They surprise you in any way possible. All I can say is: Let it go. If we were worried about every single stupid thing in our lives we would always live under a lot of stress. So I learned to let it go. You only need your truest friends and your family in your life. That’s more than enough. J  Now let’s go on with the actual post.

Two years ago I was obsessed with making different hairstyles because it was so long and I always liked doing something with it. When I was little my mum also used to do all sorts of things with my hair and I always liked it. I have to admit though that sometimes it was painful but in the end totally worth it. Last year in November I cut my hair to a shoulder length and since then I have to admit I haven't done anything with my hair. I always air or blow dried it and that was it. I guess I lost interest in making hairstyles because my hair was short and I always thought you can do nothing with it. Or I even lost interest in hairstyling my hair in general. Anyway now I have to say that I am back with making hairstyles.

I love watching Youtube videos where they show different hairstyles and they make everything look so easy (and it actually is really simple). So I decided to continue this obsession from two years ago. I want to show my hairstyles and how I like to style my type of hair. My hair is pretty thick and pretty easy to style with. The length of it is sort of medium so it’s not very long yet –I have to wait for it to grow out so I can make some weird things with it ;)

Today I have a very simple hairstyle for you. I love making dutch braids. I actually live with them all the time. They’re SO easy to make and it looks like you’ve put a lot of effort into it. It’s amazing how they turn out. The key to this braid is that you make a braid from under. When you add hair to the braid you put it under so that the braid has a 3D effect – it stands out and it looks a-mazing. I love making two or just one braid and it looks great in both ways. You can also pull out bits of your hair to make it messier or you add bobby pins to look more polished. Both ways are effective and won’t let you down.

That’s what I wanted to show you for today’s post. I hope you like it and stay tuned for more hairstyles in the future because I’m super excited to do some more. My obsession is back. Have a great weekend.

AVON QUICK DRY NAIL SPRAY REVIEW

I just hate applying nailpolish. I mean I love it when it's already on and dry and perfect but I hate the part where I have to wait for it to dry. You could say that is one of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to nails. I am just not a patient person. Although it is true that I always get so excited when I buy myself a new nailpolish and I apply it on perfectly but then I magically ruin it. I just don't get it. You put so much effort in it for nothing? Just because of that I don't apply nailpolishes as much as I would want them to. Untill now.

I recently received this life-saving product by Avon. When I saw this, I almost died. It's the Avon Nail Experts Liquid Freeze aka quick dry nail spray. I immediately thought to myself that if this works, I'm going to change the colour of my nails every single day.

This product is supposed to instantly dry your nailpolish when you apply it. You just spray over it and wait a few seconds and you're good to go. Of course I couldn't believe a product like this existed. I mean I spent years struggling to get my nails dry as quick as possible, and now there's this product that supposedly dries your nails in a second? I had to test this right away. I took the nearest nailpolish I had and I immediately began the test. I was patient (for a change), I applied the nailpolish on perfectly and then the moment of truth… I took Avon spray and I sprayed it on every nail and that was it. I said to myself: '' I should probably wait a minute just in case it doesn't work.'' After 30 seconds I touched my nails and OMG! The nailpolish was completely dry guys. I couldn't believe this. I pressed it really hard to see if there were fingerprints on it but NO. Completely dry.

I have to say I am amazed by this product. It's a blessing for my nails *wink*. I did apply only one coat because that is all I needed. I will definitely test the product if I apply a thicker coat because a lot of my nailpolishes need 2 coats. Still I can't get  over this product. It saves the day. If you're running late or don't have time to dry your nailpolish, you just use this and voila. Just amazing. The content is clear and it is oil-based but it goes off of your fingers easily-you just use a paper towel and rub it off. It also has a certain smell but nothing overwhelming. It doesn't smell bad or anything.

If you're anything like me and you don't have the patience to wait for your nailpolish to dry, then you definitely need to try this product. It will change your whole perspective on nails, I promise. I can't believe I lived without this product for so many years. Thank god I found it and thanks to Avon for giving it. I really hope you liked this review. Let me know if you like doing your nails and how do you dry them as fast as possible. Now excuse me while I go and change the colour of my nails *hehe*

Jaz res sovražim mazanje nohtov. Seveda mi je super, ko je lak že gor in suh, ampak tisti del, ko moram čakati, da se posuši je pa naravnost neznosen. Je pa res, da obožujem kupovanje novih lakov in ko si ga naneseš na nohte in potem kar od enkrat vidiš, da si si uničil noht ker nisi bil dovolj potrpežljiv. Sovražim, ko se mi to zgodi. Toliko truda za nič. Do zdaj punce.

Pred kratkim sem prejela izdelek od Avon. Ko sem zagledala kaj je sem bila zelo presenečena. Izdelek se imenuje Avon Nail Experts Liquid Freeze - sprej za hitro sušenje laka. Takoj sem pomislila, da če ta izdelek deluje, potem bom vsak dan menjala lak na nohtih.

Na embalaži piše, da naj bi izdelek takoj posušil lak, ko si ga naneseš. Samo našpricaš ga čez nohte in to je to. Sploh nisem mogla verjeti, da kaj takega obstaja (po pravici nikoli nisem pomislila, da bi lahko to obstajalo). Seveda sem to mogla takoj stestirati. Vzela sem najbližji lak in sem ga takoj začela nanašati na nohte. Za spremembo sem bila potrpežljiva in pazljiva. Ko sem končala sem vzela ta sprej in ga pošpricala po nohtih. Nato sem si rekla, da bom raje počakala kakšno minuto, za vsak primer, če potrebuje več časa. Po tridesetih sekundah, me je neučakanost premagala – morala sem se dotakniti laka. OMG! Lak je bil popolnoma suh, res nisem mogla verjeti svojem očem.

Moram priznati, da že zelo dolgo nisem bila navdušena nad kakšnim produktom, kot sem bila nad tem. To je naravnost popolno za moje nohte. Res je, da sem nanesla samo 1 sloj laka, ker več ni bilo potrebno. Bom pa seveda preizkusila izdelek, če nanesem debelejši sloj, saj moram pri večini mojih lakov nanesti 2 sloja. Vsebina izdelka je prozorna in ko našpricaš lahko vidiš, da je na oljni bazi narejena, kar ni noben problem saj gre takoj dol ko obrišeš. Nek vonj ima vendar ni močan. Definitivno se tale izdelek splača, še posebej, če nimate časa, da se lak posuši ali pa pač niste potrpežljivi. Tako kot jaz upss. Nanašanje laka bo čisto nova izkušnja, ker ne boste rabili paziti na to, da je minilo dovolj časa odkar ste ga nanesli. Sama sem res vesela, da je Avon podaril ta izdelek, ker bo sedaj vse drugače, ko bom nanašala lak. Nič več skrbi, da bom popacala nohte in nič več skrbi, da bom pozna kam zaradi tega, ker se mi nohti še vedno niso posušili.

Povej mi ali se ti rada ukvarjaš s svojimi noht in ali imaš kakšen pripomoček, ki ti olajša delo? Do naslednjič. Čau

Ps.: grem iskat nov lak, da si ga namažem :D

Trend It Up | DM

Hello lovelies. Today I want to talk about a new drugstore brand called Trend It Up and can be found in DM drugstores. It is a german store so I think you can only get it in Europe. I was inspired to do something like this because I recently received a little package that consisted of a liquid lipstick and a nailpolish from this brand. Trend It Up came to Slovenia in September so it's a relatively new thing. So because I got these two products I decided I want to go to the store and get myself 3 new products and write a review about it because it is a very afordable brand that I think everyone should check it out.

In total I have 4 different products to share with you: Double Volume & Shine Nailpolish (270), High Shine Lipgloss (140), 2 Ultra Matte Lipcreams ( 080, 085) and an eyeshadow palette called The Colors Selection (020). I will start with an eyeshadow palette because it just looks amazing.

Zdravo punce. Danes sem se odločila, da vam bom predstavila novo znamko, ki jo lahko najdeš v DM drogeriji. Znamka je v Slovenijo prišla septembra, tako da je dokaj nova zadeva. Tole objavo pišem, ker sem pred kratkim dobila 2 njihova izdelka na Beauty  Bloggers Meet Up, in sicer en lep lak in pa tekočo šminko. Odločila sem se, da grem kupiti še kakšen izdelek in na koncu sem prišla domov s 3 novimi izdelki iste znamke. Tale znamka je res poceni in zaradi tega se mi zdi, da bi si jo morala ogledati vsaka punca, ki jo zanima nekaj novega.

Torej vse skupaj imam 4 različne izdelke, ki jih bom danes delila z vami, in sicer: Double Volume & Shine lak (270), High Shine Lipgloss (140), dve Ultra Matte Lipcreams (080, 085) in pa paleta za oči,, ki se imenuje The Colors Selection (020). Začnimo kar s paletko, ker je res prečudovita.

The palette consists of 6 shades which are more purply and dark. It's a combination of mattes and shimmers so I think it's perfect for both day and night looks. I really like the purple shades for autumn and winter and that is why I chose this palette. There are 3 different palettes in total. It comes with a small two-sided brush so you can use it for travelling. I swatched the shades on the back of my hand and I was really impressed with pigmentation. It si really good. The shades are easy to blend but are a bit more powdery so you will definitely want to tap away the excess product. The range of colours is great because you have shades for the crease, for the whole eyelid and for the inner eye corner. It's just great. I also really like the size of it because you can take it anywhere with you. I can see myself using this palette a lot in winter (and Maja's also liking it hihi).

V paletki imamo vse skupaj 6 senčk, ki so bolj vijolične in temne in so mat in bleščeče, tako da lahko definitivno ustvariš večerni in dnevni look. Vijolični odtenki so mi res super za jesen in zimo in zato sem jo tudi izbrala, na sploh pa lahko izbiraš med 3 različnimi paletami. Zdi se mi super za potovanja saj zraven dobiš tudi dvostranski čopič in pa, ker je majhne velikosti. Pigmentacijo senčk sem stestirala kar na roki in moram priznati, da sem bila res navdušena. Barve so res močne je pa res, da ko nanašaš senčke na veke moraš čopič otresti, ker dobiš kar precej produkta na čopič. Zelo lepo se razmaže in med seboj se barve super dopolnjujejo. Všeč mi je, da so notri od temnih barv do svetlih barv. Paletko res priporočam vsem, ker ima res vse tisto kar rabiš in ni ti potrebno zapraviti ne vem koliko denarja zanjo (še moja sestra je nad njo čisto navdušena hihi).

Moving on with the lipgloss and lipcreams. Lipgloss didn't impress me very much. I mean it is great and it apllies nicely but it's nothing special. It's not very pigmented so you can wear it every day and it's not very sticky so that is a big plus. As for the lipcreams I do have some pros & cons. First of all the shades are amazing. You have a big selection of lipcreams and I love all of them. I have a deep red shade(080) and a stunning plumb shade (085). The pigmentation is stunning and the application is great although I would definitely recommend using a lip pencil with it because you'll apply it 100 times easier-I had some struggles with the red one when I was applying it because I couldn't be as precise as I wanted to be. It would be easier if I applied the lip pencil first. Also when you apply it, it won't dry completely which for me is good because you won't be left there with dry lips and your lips will look more healthy. All in all they're great but I do have one negative thing to say and that is they transfer and because they transfer the aren't as longlasting as I would want them to be and you have to re-apply it. That is everything I have to say about the lipcreams. They're amazing and I will definitely keep using them because I like the texture of it and they are so affordable.

Naslednji produkt sta lipglos in tekoča šminka. Lipglos me ni nekaj navdušil, ampak tudi ni slab. V sebi ima nekaj pigmentacije, ampak nič pretiranega, tako da ga lahko nosiš vsak dan. Tudi ni lepljiv, tako da te ne moti ko je na ustnicah. Glede tekoče šminke pa imam nekaj besed več. Že takoj lahko povem, da sem nad njimi navdušena. Odtenki so res izjemni. Jaz imam dva in sicer rdeča (080) in pa odtenek slive oziroma malo bolj svetla. Pigmentacija je na vrhuncu punce. Zelo bi priporočala, da jih uporabite s svinčnikom za ustnice, ker bo s tem nanos veliko lažji. Jaz ga nisem uporabila in sem pri rdeči šminki naredila manjši nered na ustnicah (upss). Ko šminko naneseš se ta ne posuši v celoti, kar je dobro saj se ti ustnice potem ne izsušijo in zgledajo bolj zdravo. Edina stvar, ki me moti pa je da pušča odtis. Sicer me to res ne moti, ampak zaradi tega sem morala šminko nekajkrat na novo nanesti. Priznam, da me to sploh ni zmotilo, tako da sem z njimi navdušena. Definitivno priporočam njihove mat šminke, ker so res dobre + poceni so – popolna kombinacija.

The last product I will talk about it is their nailpolish. Again they have a big selection of colours so you'll definitely find something for yourself. I got this dark purple-ish colour and it's perfect for autumn. I was really impressed by it. You only have to apply one coat of it and it's done. You don't have to use 2 coats and that is something I'm super excited about. I didn't use the base coat or a top coat and it's holding out just fine. I did just wash the dishes and I can see that it chipped a little at the end which is to be expected actually, but if you use the top coat I think you'll be fine. All in all it is a nice nailpolish and the best thing about it is that you don't have to use 2 coats.

Zadnji izdelek pa je tale lak. Izbira lakov je res velika, tako da sem prepričana, da se za vsako nekaj najde. Moj je zopet bolj temen, bordo rdeč. Ko sem ga nanesla, sem takoj videla, da bom rabila samo 1 nanos, ker je tako zelo prekriven. Sploh ne rabiš 2 sloja. Definitivno je to največji plus pri tem laku. Pri nanosu nisem uporabila niti podlak niti nadlak. Malo prej sem pomila posodo in se na koncih malo vidi, da se je odluščil, ampak ne veliko. Prepričana sem, da do tega ni bi prišlo, če bi uporabila še nadlak. Lak je super ampak najbolj me je navdušila njegova prekrivnost jeeeej.

Trend It Up is a brand I will keep checking out because it made a good impression on me and I can't wait to go back and maybe get some face makeup- foundation, blush etc. Let me know if you know this brand and what you think of it. Have a great day.

Trend it up je definitivno znamka, ki jo bom še spremljala. Zelo me zanimajo še ličila za obraz-puder, rdečilo,... Je kdo že preizkusil njihove izdelke? Kaj si mislite o njih? Do naslednjič. Čauu

LJFW 2016

Hello my lovely readers. Today I wanted to share with a few of the highlights from Ljubljana Fashion Week that lasted from 18th to 20st September. My sister (her blog) and I went the last day and we saw the last two shows.
This was a totally new experience. We've never been to a real fashion show (except when I used to train for a model but that was a loooong time ago) so you can imagine us being pretty excited about it. It was held in the Slon hotel. When we arrived there it was all very fancy. I saw a lot of amazing outfits and a lot of people.
The first show started at 19.00. The designers that presented themselves were Maja Ferme, Nejc Skubic and Sanija Reja Aske. They are all Sovenian fashion designers. Maja Ferme Fashion is on the top of the Slovenian designers and is even known for some of the famous people such as Monica Bellucci and Anna Netrebko. She's travelled the world and never ceases to amaze her costumers. Nejc Subic is a young designer that started his path in high school and continued it at the Faculty of science and engineering in the department of textile. Soon he's won a lot of awards and has gotten a lot of experiences to cooperate with some of the known brands all over the world. Sanija Reja Aske studied at the Faculty of science and engineering in the department of textile. From there she became a part of Young @ Squat crew, which is a group of designers that have a great influence in the fashion industry here in Slovenia. She is mostly known for her roughness that is seen in belts and harnesses that are a part of the collections and lately her collection has gotten more feminine.
I've already heard about Maja Ferme and I always loved her work and the way how she creates something new and always looks amazing on the other hand I've never heard about Nejc Subic and Sanija Reja. Right now I'm really glad I got to see them because I was really impressed by their work and I realized that you don't have to go to Paris or London to see amazing creators. I loved the whole collection from both of them.

The next show was at 21.00 and the designers that presented themselves were Young@Squat which is a group of young designers that have a chance to sow their talent and gain new experience, Natasa Hrupic is a brand created by Nataša Hrupič in 2005. Her collections are mostly known for duality. She always creates new clothing designs but everything still stays very feminine. The last designer is Petja Zorec who is a very young designer. Shealawys combines different fabrics which results in very casual clothing, playful or even appropriate for work. She designs menswear with emphasis on knitwear.
Again I only knew the first group of designers through my sister but I was definitely not disappointed by the other two. In fact my favourite of them all was Natasa Hrupic. Her collection was truly amazing and inspiring.

Before the fashion shows started we planned to take some pictures for our blogs and that is exactly what I'm going to show you today. I opted for a jumpsuit that has a golden top, just to make the outfit a bit more fancy. At first I was all ready to wear my pointed heels from Bershka but I changed my mind the last minute and I'm not really sure why. Instead I chose white ballet flats with a golden detail on them. I added a khaki blazer on top of that and a black rucksack/purse. Hope you like it and I'll talk to you soon.

BOOKMARK COLLECTION

Hello reader. Long time no see...

It's a new year and that means a great time to start something new. I should probably update you on what's been going on in my life. Not much to be exact. I got a job in October and I worked there untill January. I decided to quit it because in January I need to study for my exams that start in February. Basically I decided school was a priority and that I need to finish it in time (if possible).

I also had a bit of a problem with the social media/phone. I got so fed up with everything. I kind of got lazy and didn't want to check my mail or any other social media accounts and honestly I had no problems with that. I loved just going to work and go somewhere with my friends. That's what I've been doing the last 2 months. It's quite a long period I know. Now I started being more active and I also watched other bloggers and they made me miss blogging. So here I am.

Things haven't changed. I am still obsessed with Booktubers. I still love watching their videos and I am so tempted to try to film a book haul or something related with books but I am just not yet up for it. I am a chicken I know. I can stick to my blog where I can write everything down and I can also take some pictures and edit it. That's a less scarier way of sharing my thoughts. Maya is still studying abroad but is coming home in a few weeks and then it's time we make a plan. We are going to plan every single day so that we don't neglect our blogs and Youtube channel. I said to her that it would be awsome if we reached 50,000 subcribers on Youtube this year. It is a bit high but we can try and we'll be able to see if we can stick to things (I am so bad at this...). So this is kind of my 2016 resolution/goal and I also decided I'm going to write down every book I've read in 2016 (I already read 2... yaay...).

So I am here today with a bookish post. I decided to show you my small collection of bookmarks. I recently entered the world of bookmarks which means I discovered so many amazing bookmarks that just makes me want to have them all... But that's not possible because then I would have more bookmarks than the actual books. I have some ordinary bookmarks and magnetic ones and the ones with cute qoutes on it. Little bit of everything.Without further ado, let's dive into some bookmarks.

RETRO RETRO

Hello hello.

I have trouble sleeping even though I have a big test tomorrow but still I can't sleep. I don't think it's nerves but still... By the time this'll go up I'll probably already have written the test and get on with studying everything else since it's the period of exams at the moment. I am trying to do my best and not to fail any of the exams since it's my first year at UNI. Fingers crossed I'll do my best.

That being said, today I'm going to talk more about this RETRO style that invaded our lives so quickly and isn't planning t go anywhere. It somehow immersed into our fashion and it just decided to stay  maybe even forever. I actually really like this new sense of style because I always thought I was born in the wrong century. I even told my mom that I shouldn't be the 90s kid. Even though it's too late know *wink*. So I guess I'll just have to accept this fact and find some bits and pieces of old times somewhere else. I am actually pretty excited that it sneaked into fashion because it's something a lot of us girls and boys like. It wasn't a few days ago that I actually found out that I would love to evolve my sense of style more. Leja that's another topic STOP IT!

I -and hopefully you too- am here to talk more about retro style.To show you where you can see this sneaky little trend and with what you can combine it, so you'll still look absolutely fashionable. So I should probably start with the most obvious one: LEATHER JACKETS. They have been with us since the 40s/50s. Guys, James Dean already knew what fashion is all about. Since then, we've forgoten about it but they're back for quite some time now. You can never go wrong with them. Wear it with skinny jeans, skirts/dresses, tights,.. You can style them with anything and you'll look chic or rock. Plus the're different colours of them like seen below in the pictures. You decide.

Next thing that became popular again are BIG SUNGLASSES.Audrey Hepburn looked amazing with them and we got them back already in 2009-10. I think it's something like that. And they're still popular and present and I think they'll last a long time. I really like wearing big glasses especially on lazy morning when you look like a living dead. If you have them, you can look very chic and glamorous. Just be careful about finding the right shape for your face.

Another thing are SKINNY JEANS. I actually didn't know this is something we already wore in the past. It originated in 50s but were mostly worn by men since we-women-still wore skirts. But things changed. In the 80s this trend was beginning to get popular but it didn't last long untill now. We still wear skinny jeans and we rock in them. Again you can look super glamurous and polished with some heels or on the other side you can combine them with an AC/DC T-shirt and just rock at concerts. Skinny jeans became kind of a must in woman's closet and it should be if you feel great in them.

Last thing that I'll mention, even though there're a lot of other things that are worth mentioning, are the 60s DRESSES. I just love love love them. They make you look petite and some of them have collars which is the most adorable thing I've ever seen. I also like that they end very close to the neck line and aren't too daring and we ladies don't have to worry we'll lose something (joke). So yeah guys I've been loving this dresses and I hope they never stop making them. 

These were all my choices that I wanted to present to you guys and I really hope you like. I really like that old fashion was brought back to our lives the way it can still look amazing and not old-fashioned as someone would say. Combining different styles is probably my favourite thing when I dress up in the morning. I am pretty satisfied with today's fashion.

Let me know if you like having retro trend or would you rather be more daring and try more of the futuristic stuff. Have an awsome week. xoxo

1st SNOW

The first snow guys. Whaaat? well it actually happened 28th December last year *wink*

It was really beautiful and my sister just said she wanted to go out and she grabbed the camera and we made some shots and of course we froze to death (almsost). We went to see how the forest looked. The untouched snow is so beautiful and special. It makes you feel so clean and calm. It really was a beautiful scenery to witness. Just look at some of the pictures and see for yourself. If you're a sucker for snow, then you'll love these pictures. I don't particularly like snow and the cold but seeing this kind of nature makes me so tranquil, special.

 Hope you enjoy watching these pictures and tell me if you already had some snow or if you live somewhere where there's no snow. Have a lovely beginning of the year.

SAVE ME NOW

It's freezing out here and I am not a cold person-HELP. This morning I went to town with my sister and it was SO cold I didn't think I would survive. I am not exaggerating a bit. Anyways I decided to write this post in advance because I am 100% sure I will be running out of time this next two months due to my exams so I am preparing myself and making new posts and studying and just being productive.

So today my sister took some photos of me in the mall. I was so happy to be somewhere where it's warm so that I could warm myself up. I knew it would be very cold that day so I was wearing some treggings with high knee socks but I didn't pull them all the way to my knees. Then I had a basic long grey top and over it a lovely white sweater from H&M and. Don't judge me I also put over a white cardigan (crazy I know but I was still cold). For my accessory I added an infinity scarf in burgundy colour and that's it. Oh and of course a winter jacket and ankle boots... oh and a knitted hat and a pair of black gloves. I just kept it casual and comfortable as much as possible. I do love comfortable things.

Let me know what's your favourite thing that keeps you comfortable and is perfect for those cold days. Have a great day lovelies.

WINTER ESSENTIAL

Since winter is coming or has already come in some of the countries I decided to do a little list of WINTER ESSENTIAL that are very useful to me and help me get through the least favorite season of the year. Some of the things are actually useful but some are just perfect for winter and that is why included them. Lets get into it!

1) LIPBALM

Now I don't know for you guys but my lips tend to dry very quickly in the winter and I start biting them and that makes everyhing worse. So when I start to bite lips in these cold days, that is a signal for me that I need to pull out my favourite lipbalm and take care of the problem. When I have lipbalm on my lips I never bite them because I don't like the taste of it so it is a great solution for everyone.

2) HAND CREAM

Like my lips the hands are no exception. I don't know why but it feels like everytime I get out in the cld weather and it is a bit windy outside my hands get SO dry and a small layer of my skin starts to crack and that is the worst feeling I can get. I use hand cream when I come home and before bed. But don't use it too often or when you don't have a dry skin because then you actually do get dry skin even if you didn't have it before (learn from my mistake).

3) SCARF

I don't know what's wrong with me but I just love scarfs. No matter which I just love them. My favourite scarves are chunky ones and that feeling when you go out and you have a scarf around your neck is just so nice + it keeps you insanely warm. It is a good investment and they don't cost much.

4) COAT

Coats are my favourite things when I go out because they make me feel so sophisticated and fancy. I love wearing basic one-black and if I add a chunky scarf, my whole outfit looks better. I do prefer coats to winter jackets (just so you know). When you add some boots with high heels and a cute bag, you achieved the perfect winter look.

5) BOOK

I know books aren't essential just for winter (I actually like reading all year long) but I really like when you come home in the evening and you see you have some spare time and instead of watching TV you can just lay in bed, cover yourself with a fluffy blanket and read. Outside is snowing but you're inside safe and warm with a good book.

6) TEA

Since I am not a coffee person, I drink tea. I think we all like tea a lot and it is made for winter. You can choose from different flavours and add anything you like-milk, honey, cinnamon... My favourite tea at the moment is Rooibos tea with caramel. Teas go perfectly with the book you're reading and it relaxes you after a hard-working day.

7) MUSIC

Yes music is a must for those days when you just want to relax, have a warm bath and listen some good music. I am currently loving Taylor Swift and Echosmith.

So these are my winter essentials. Let me know if you have something similar or something else that  is indespensable for you to use in winter.

Till next time...
