Trying to adult one step at a time
Happy first day of Autumn! How exciting is that? I can't wait to see the leaves change their colour and decorate the pavements. Walking on crispy leaves is so satisfying. Not so much on wet leaves, because if you're as clumsy as me (and I trip on straight flat surfaces), this is just an accident… Continue reading My everyday makeup – Autumn
As the days get shorter and we transition into the times of long cosy evenings with the logs crackling in the fireplace, we tend to relax a bit with our shaving routines. I mean, putting on jeans does not require us to have our legs shaved above our ankles, at least not on such a… Continue reading Remove your hair permanently with Philips Lumea
Can't believe how well my blog has been doing and it's only 2 months old! I've been getting so much love from all of you and cannot thank you enough. Nearly 100 followers later (and surprisingly not all accounts belong to my mum) I'm excited to announce that I was nominated for the Versatile Blogger… Continue reading Versatile Blogger Award
Today I want to talk about something I've noticed a long time ago. Heck, I'm even guilty of doing that myself. That thing being *drumroll* not being able to take a compliment from anyone else. Sounds familiar? Let's create a scenario before we get into it. It's Saturday evening and you're going out for, let's… Continue reading How to take a compliment (and believe it)
Happy 1st of September everyone! Whilst everyone is settling down on Hogwarts Express I thought it would be a good idea to provide something to read - train journeys can be boring at times. And with the start of the new month, it calls for an August beauty favourites post. Now, I am not planning on… Continue reading August Beauty Favourites
I know it's a long way until the weekend but I thought it would be a good idea to do an evening makeup look. Or a daytime, if you're into strong eyeshadow looks. Personally, I rarely use dark shades so it was a challenge for my and my brushes. I might have used some swear… Continue reading Demi Lovato inspired makeup look
I remember saying that I would never dye my hair when I was little. Well... That changed very quickly. I went through so many colours and it makes me dizzy sometimes. What started with highlights and went through light blonde, dark brown turned into rose gold (because my obsession is real) and finally just gold. Apart… Continue reading Save your damaged hair with only ONE product!
We live in the world where women are expected to always look on fleek and flawless. Doesn't it sometimes make you jealous that men get to sleep for 30 minutes longer because they don't have to do their makeup? I need my beauty sleep just as much as the next person. So at one point… Continue reading No makeup is the new makeup
Recently, I had a mini scare whilst doing my makeup (as you do). Surprisingly, it was not stabbing my eye with a mascara (I can't see, I can't see) or winging the eyeliner only to find out it covers half of my eye. When I put a small pump of foundation onto the palm of… Continue reading Mouldy makeup – why you should pay attention to all expiry dates
Hi. I’m Julia. *Hi Julia* I’m addicted to plucking my eyebrows. This is true. It started so innocently I failed to notice when my eyebrows stopped looking like they were sisters. It got to the point where they didn’t even have anything in common. From being related they turned into neighbours who never even… Continue reading The eyebrow game – confessions of an over-plucker
