It's the last day of 2020, and I couldn't be happier. As you all know, 2020 has been a nightmare for many, and so, I hope that 2021 will be better for everyone. Since it's time for all kinds of round-ups, and summaries, then here comes my blogging year in review. My blogging year in numbers In 2020 I published 104 blog posts. That is 41 blog posts more than in 2019! Yay! The slowest months for me were February and April when I only published three posts in a month. I'm not sure what was the reason for so few posts in February but in April it was because of the distance learning from mid-March to mid-May due to the COVID-19 quarantine in Estonia. With a 7-year old, who thought (and still thinks) that school and learning is a pointless waste of time, it was a struggle to get his school stuff done and so I really didn't have enough energy or time to write new posts or even take photos :( My busiest months were October and November when I published 14 posts in a mon...

*PR Sample Since this year we, as probably most people, celebrated Christmas at home, then, I decided to go with a simple makeup look. For my makeup, I used some new makeup goodies from Essence Cosmetics. Thank you, Essence! Kuna sel aastal tähistasime me jõule kodus oma pereringis nagu vist enamik inimesi, siis selle aastane jõuluõhtu meik oli mul samuti lihtne. Enda meigi tegemisel kasutasin uusi meigitooteid Essence Cosmetics'lt. Aitäh Essence! I started my makeup look with Essence HELLO! GOOD STUFF face serum and then followed with Essence HELLO, GOOD STUFF! Tinted Beauty Cream in a shade 10 Light. Next, I applied Essence Camouflage+ Matt Concealer in a shade 20 Light Ivory where needed. After that, I applied Essence Pretty Natural Hydrating Foundation in a shade 040 Neutral Vanilla. I set my makeup with Essence All About Matte Fixing Compact Powder. For filling in and shaping my eyebrows I used Essence Brow Pomade + Brush in a shade 02 Ash Blonde. ...

Happy Monday, lovelies! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. Ours was quiet but it was great to spend quality time with my hubby and boys. What I wore on Christmas Eve? Well, although I first planned to wear something red, then I stumbled on this fir green dress at aboutyou.ee and it seemed perfect dress for Christmas time. Why? Firstly, because of its green colour. It's just that shade of green that reminds me of Christmas. Secondly, because of it's A-line fit that helps to hide those few extra kilograms, I managed to gain during Christmas :P I also like this Vero Moda dress Nads because it's rather versatile. With different accessories, I can dress it up or down - just as needed. Although I love the material and style of this dress, then I do have one tiny complaint about its sleeves. The sleeves of this dress are long sleeves - unfortunately, they have this weird length on me (maybe my arms are just too long?) which means I just have to roll-up the sleeves to m...

*Affiliate links I ordered Artnaturals Tea Tree Body Wash from iHerb . Artnaturals was a new brand for me, but I wanted to try something new (preferably cruelty-free and formulated without nasty ingredients), and so this body wash seemed to tick all boxes for me. Tellisin endale Artnaturals teepuuõliga kehapesugeeli iHerb 'st. Minu jaoks oli Artnaturals tol hetkel tundmatu firma, ent kuna tahtsin proovida midagi uut  ja eelistatult mitte loomadel testitut ning võimalikult naturaalsete koostisosadega, siis tundus see kehapesugeel neile nõuetele täitsa hästi vastavat. Artnaturals Tea Tree Body Wash is descibed as Deodorizing shower gel that fights odor and soothes. Contains moisturizing Coconut Oil. Gentle enough for all skin types. The shower gel is enriched with Tea Tree, Peppermint, and Rosemary Oil. Artnaturals shower gel comes in a simple bottle that holds 355ml of product. The body wash is a green gel that has a lovely minty scent. I just love its scent, but I'm sur...

(Ugly) Christmas sweaters and Christmas themed clothes. It's so strange - I have never needed them or even considered buying any. And this year... I want something Christmas themed :( A dress or top for example would be perfect. I guess it is because this year there are no Christmas parties to attend due to the stupid COVID-19. And so I don't have any good reasons to buy a new party dress(es) and so I just want something comfy and Christmassy to wear at home. I have found some Christmas jumpers but since our home is too warm for a sweater (we keep it at 21°C) then there's really no point to buy something that warm. So it has to be something lighter - like a t-shirt or a cute dress. But let's continue with sweaters. Well, my today's outfit features a white sleeveless turtleneck sweater. I purchased this sweater ten or eleven years ago and I have never worn it on its own. I have always used it for layering. I used to wear it quite a lot when I worked at the kinderga...

*PR sample. Affiliate links For the last 1.5 months, I have been using Avon Anew Reversalist Day Perfecting Cream & Night Revitalising Cream as a part of my daily skincare routine. These two creams were sent for me along with some other skincare products from Avon. I have already shared with you my thoughts on Avon Anew Skin Reset Plumping Shots . Viimased poolteist kuud olen kasutanud osana enda igapäevasest nahahooldusrutiinist Avon Anew Protinoliga täiustavat päevakreemi SPF25 ja Protinoliga uuendavat öökreemi. Need kaks kreemi saatis mulle testimiseks Avon.  Avon Anew Reversalist Day Perfecting Cream SPF25 Avon Reversalist Day Perfecting Cream SPF25 will hydrate your skin for a plump and smooth result. The cream has a new improved formula with dual collagen and Protinol Technology. It is formulated to help boost hyaluronic acid production by over 100% in just-2 days and has been clinically shown to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in just 7 days. Avon Rev...

*Affiliate links Happy Monday, lovelies! How have you been? Last week we decorated our Christmas tree, and my Christmas shopping is almost done. I still need a gift for my 2-year old. We will probably get some sort of construction truck for him because he loves those. For my 8-year old we already purchased a Baby Yoda plush toy and Baby Yoda mug . He absolutely loves Baby Yoda! With my husband it's easy - he reads a lot and his wishlist of books is long ... very long. And so I just usually pick something from there. I usually buy a gift for myself too and I am thinking about buying a new iPhone 11 for myself. I have been using my current smartphone - iPhone 6 for six years now and although it works perfectly fine I just feel that it's time to upgrade. The outfit Something simple and casual. For my today's look, I paired a pair of black ponte pants with a simple light jumper. I purchased the black Vince ponte pants a few years ago from Shopbop . I love these trouse...

*PR Sample. This post contains affiliate links.  If you are looking for an affordable foundation that gives you a natural look then Essence Pretty Natural Hydrating Foundation might be something for you! Pretty Natural foundation was developed together with essence consumers and especially tailored to their wishes.  Sel sügisel on Essence'il lisaks HELLO, GOOD STUFF! toodetele veel üks üllatus - taskukohase hinnaga Pretty Natural niisutav jumestuskreem, mis on ideaalne loomuliku naturaalse meigi tegemiseks. Uus jumestuskreem valmis koostöös Essence toodete kasutajatega arvestades nende soove.  When often the pretty promises on foundation tubes about feathery-light and long-lasting formula are just words and they don't reflect the reality, then this time I'm impressed - this foundation is exactly as promised. The foundation is formulated with hyaluronic acid and aloe vera that will provide moisture for 24 hours and creates a beautiful and natural finish. And what...
