Choosing the Right Gift

Image
Are you looking for that special gift for a special person and occasion but can’t decide what the gift should be? What do you do? Where do you start? Consider this pearl sometimes attributed (perhaps mistakenly) to Pablo Picasso: “The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.” . With that in mind, here are some tips to consider when trying to nail down that extraordinary something you want to share that is so extraordinary you are willing to give it away. What Do You Want to Say? Because giving a gift is a way of communicating how you feel to the recipient, consider what you would most like to share with this person Is it a feeling? Perhaps it is heartfelt advice. How would you put into words that which comes closest to conveying how you feel or what you want to say? What sort of gift most closely reflects those words? What Does the Recipient Like? Make a list of that special person’s likes. If books are on the list, make a list of the books you ...

Happiness Boutique layered necklace & floral statement necklace

I haven't done any outfit posts for so long. I guess the main reason for that is the fact that at the moment I'm a stay at home mom with a 10-month-old baby.  Therefore my everyday outfits are pretty boring - jeans + tees, leggings + tees. But from time to time, when there is a reason to wear something else then, of course I'll wear a cute dress or something more sophisticated. One very important event will come this week - my 6-year old son graduates from the kindergarten. I remember him being just a baby and now he is already 6 and in a few months he will be 7 and in September he will start school. The time really flies ... Anyway, that will be a great opportunity to skip jeans or leggings and wear a dress instead. I'm still debating whether to wear a burgundy red H&M dress I showed you back in September or red dress with lace sleeves from Lindex that I purchased a few months ago. And I'm also trying to make up my mind if I should accessorize my outfit with...

Max Factor Masterpiece Max High Volume & Definition Mascara

Image
I think I used Max Factor mascara for the first time around the age of 15 or so. Since I was constantly on a budget back then, then that mascara seemed to cost a fortune but I remember it was worth every cent ... About a month ago or so Max Factor Estonia offered to 30 of their Facebook fans an opportunity to test Max Factor Masterpiece Max High Volume & Definition Mascara and so, of course, I also tried my luck and I was one of the 30 people who received the mascara. Esimest korda kasutasin ma Max Factori ripsmekat, kui olin umbes 15. Kuna tollal oli mu taskuraha üsna pisike ning seega pidin pidevalt hoolega kaaluma, millele raha kulutada ja millele mitte, siis tundus Max Factori ripsmekas tollal mulle üüber kallis, ent samas siiski väärt igat kulutatud senti ... Umbes kuu aega tagasi pakuti Max Factor Eesti Facebooki lehel 30 õnnelikule võimalust katsetada Max Factor Masterpiece Max High Volume & Definition ripsmekat. Eks siis proovisin ka ja osutusingi üheks õnnelikuks, ...

Bioderma Hydrabio - my new skincare favorites?

Image
I won a set of Bioderma Hydarbio skincare products in last December. In Bioderma makeup bag, I received Hydrabio H2O micellar water, Hydrabio Perfecteur SPF30 and Hydrabio Sérum. I had previously used Bioderma Purifying Cleansing Micelle Solution and quite liked it, then I had high hopes on these too. Minuni jõudis komplekt Bioderma Hydrabio tooteid eelmise aasta lõpus tänu ühele Instagrami loosimisele. Komplektis olid Hydrabio H2O puhastusvesi, Hydrabio Perfecteur SPF30 ja Hydrabio Sérum. Olen varasemalt katsetanud Bioderma Sebium H2O puhastusvett , mis minu rasedusaegsele näonahale sobis täitsa hästi ja seega mu ootused Hydrabio toodetele olid suured. Bioderma Hydarbio skincare products are perfect for dehydrated and sensitive skin that has lost its radiance due to pollution, stress and cold weather. The full range of Hydrabio products contain Aquagenium ™ patent that stimulates the skin's cellular capacities and reactivates its natural hydration process. Bioderma Hydrab...

Nivea Urban Skin Detox Micellar Water

Image
I purchased Nivea Urban Skin Detox Micellar Water back in February. I have used Nivea micellar water before and since they have been good and doesn't cost a fortune, then, I decided to give this one a try. I must say, that it didn't disappoint me. Ostsin Nivea Urban Skin Detox mitsellaarvee veebruaris. Olen ka varasemalt Nivea mitsellaarvett kasutanud ja need on olnud head. Seega ostustasingi seekord siis Urban Detox versiooni kasutada ning mainin kohe ära, et ma ei pidanud pettuma.  Nivea Urban Skin Detox Micellar Water features MicellAIR complex and green tea extract. It effectively removes impurities, makeup and excess sebum. The micellar water mattifies the skin. Urban Skin Detox Micellar Water is clear water-like liquid. Although it  is advertised as fragrance-free, then, in my opinion, it has a mild scent. Using the micellar water is easy - I just apply some micellar water on a cotton bad and then gently wipe my face. I like that it easily removes my makeup - even ...

April Empties 2019

Image
Time for April empties post. My goal to finish up those open and/or half empty beauty products before opening or buying new ones is going rather well. Though, not as quickly as I hoped. So in April I managed to finish five products, although, one of them is beauty supplement and is one is a hair dye but since they both are beauty related then I decided to add them to this post. Aeg aprillis tühjaks saanud ilutoodete postituseks. Minu eesmärk kasutada lõpuni ära poolikud ilutooted enne kui uusi avama/ostma hakkan läheb suhteliselt hästi. Kuigi jah, mitte nii kiirelt kui ma lootsin. Aprillis kasutasin lõpuni viis toodet. Üks neist oli küll iluvitamiin ja teine juuksevärv, ent kuna mõlemad on siiski iluteemaga seotud, siis lisasin ka need siia postitusse.  April empties 2019 In my March empties post, I mentioned Toni&Guy Volume Addiction Conditioner for fine hair and in April I used up Toni&Guy Volume Addiction Shampoo for fine hair. This shampoo was good. I liked it a...

Garnier Color Naturals Creme Bleaching Cream - E0 Super Blond

Image
It was time to dye my hair again this week. Ok, actually I should have done it weeks ago but I was just a little bit too lazy or too busy with other things. But I finally did it this week. Since I'm on a budget at the moment then I skipped the visit to hairdressers to do my hair and did it at home again. Was it a smart choice? Well, I think it was an okay decision. This time I used Garnier Color Naturals Creme Bleaching Cream in shade E0 Super Blond. I have used Garnier hair dyes before and so this one seemed like a good choice. Sel nädalal oli jälle aeg juukseid värvida. Ok, tegelt oleksin seda juba mitu nädalat tagasi pidanud tegema aga küll olin liiga laisk ja küll liiga hõivatud muude tegemistega ja nii see siis muudkui edasi lükkuski. Sel nädalal võtsin siis end kokku ja tegin asja ära. Kuna üritan hetkel võimalikult eelarves püsida, siis võtsin riski järjekordselt kodus juukseid värvida. Kas tegu oli mõistliku otsusega? Üsna ok otsusega vist. Seekord kasutasin Garnier Color...
