I am sure you already hear about black mineral face masks. Everyone uses them and everyone loves them. SO do I. The one I have been using for quit a long time now is a Clearskin Pore Penetrating Black Mineral Face Mask from AVON. I wanted to give it a dry because I´ve hear so much about it myself and I was told that it really cleanses the pores deeply and it also helps with oily face and any dirty that might be on your face.
I like to use this mask once to twice a week. It is recommended to use twice or three times it is just that my face does not like too much attention. A bit of help is always good but once I try to do more for my face it goes wrong. So I use it max twice a week just before I go into shower.
You apply a thinner layer of a black cream on your face and leave it do its magic for 10-15 minutes. How do you know it works and you are supposed to wash it off ?! Simple! It turns light grey and through the whole process you feel it getting stuck to your skin and really getting deep into pores. And honestly... Sometimes it is even hard to smile or laugh with this on so you might not wanna try it :D
I used to have TERRIBLE black spots on my chin and on my nose. I still do have some but about 80 percent of it is gone. WORKS for me :)
So in case you are looking for something new that is going to help with oily skin (helped with my T-zone) or pores you know what to do. Plus it does not cost you a fortune. I paid 6.50 € / 5 pounds.
Until next time...keep safe and live your life to the fullest.

Hello beautiful salted caramel faces!
It is officially fall. At least it looks like that here in the UK which means that I can finally start layering, wearing scarfs and hats. YAY. And I can also get away with wearing my dark clothing ahah.
And it became a tradition here on my blog that with every season I share my inspirations. Fashion, beauty, hair, interior, food.... Everything! So in case you were looking for some here is a HUGE collection of photos that I get inspo from.
We all need to have some "me" time every now and then. I had been solo for a long time now since I live in a new country where I ain´t no many people yet, but I decided to have that REAL "me" time this Friday. After being sick for a week I wanted to go out and do everything I love. So I did. And we all should do something like that.
I wanted to buy some jeans and a few bits and pieces for myself so I went to Primark, h&m..... I also popped into Kurt Geiger (for the first time) and I felt in LOVE with two pairs of shoes that I HAVE to have :D Then I sat into Central Perk and had my favorite drink - Chai Latte. They even gave me some whipped cream ans marshmallows. It was really nice to just sit in a cafe, watch Friends and read a book. So relaxing and I didn´t think about anything else then about that chilled feeling I had. No problems or difficulties on my mind. Then I wandered around city center and realized that there is now way of getting lost which I am really happy about :D And as a perfect dot it started to rain. Which many of you would be mad about but I do enjoy a walk in the rain every now and then so I really didn´t rush anywhere.

I have been having some troubles with my anxiety lately. Nothing too bad luckily but still it effected my life and made me feel uncomfortable in many social situations. I know there are many people who have the same issues. And I thought that it is time to stand up and talk a bit about this topic. I think that people are so confused about this anxious feeling and they don´t know what is happening to them that they keep it inside them and try to get through this on their own.
I am so happy that there are people like Zoe Sugg and Tanya Burr who share their anxiety experiences and tricks how to get through panic attacks over on youtube. They have been helping me a lot recently.
I never knew that I am one of those people who have anxiety and I never thought that the weird feeling I have every now and then is actually a problem. A few months ago I read an article about this topic and I have started really understanding what Zoe and Tanya are going through and that is when I realized that my confused, panic-y and sick feeling has a name. It was that graduation time that made me feel unsure and scared. Ever since then I have been getting a little shivers and butterflies in my tummy for no reason. I know now that it is a little anxiety that I am going through.
But I have been trying so many different ways to get through it without any huge troubles and I have a few thinks that actually help me. One of them is going for a nice relaxing walk. Walking in general is my top activity when I feel sad or panic-y. Being on air helps with your breathing and calming down and the physical activity helps to pump your blood so you don´t feel sick or anything like that. I personally am feeling even worst when there is a lot of people around me so I like to walk to places where I can be basically on my own with my thoughts, heart beat and breath. That is when living near to park helps. Greenery has also nice and calming effect on me so in case you will ever feel anxious and nothing else helps then try to go for a walk like that.
I had a little harsh time the other day so I went for a walk into one park near my house and I calmed down almost immediately. This time I didn´t go through a real anxiety or panic attack but I knew that if I don´t do something with myself and if I stay at home it will come because I was having bad thoughts on my mind that always lead to panic attack. So I got nicely dressed as quick as possible and got out!
Seeing those happy people in the park brought smile on my face. And those cute little dogs and puppies that were running around brought totally different thoughts into my head which I was super happy about.
Normally -means if I wasn´t getting sick- I would join all the runners that were having a nice work out in the park. In this case I just had a little photoshoot which also cheered me up. Oh and how amazing it is that those leaves are finally turning orange, brown and red. Another happy thought.

I didn´t want to make this post anyway depressing or anything like that! I wanted to share a bit of my life that I know a lot of people have common. After all we should help each other and if there is something I know that helps in situations like the ones I mentioned above I will share and try to help to others. Just as a lot of other people helped me.
And as last I want to challenge you to be happy! These days we are all trying to rush everything and do as much as possible which usually causes nerves and stress. SO let´s try to calm down our life and enjoy every little moment and every little thing that we never thought that would bring a smile to our face. Let´s visit place that make us happy! Let´s stop and breathe!
Until next time... keep safe and live your life to the fullest.

Hello beautiful sunny faces!
Long time no see right?! I have been trying to prepare a cool post for you for a few days and I wanted to come up with something extra. I had no idea what to write about. Then I realized that I am spending A LOT of time on tumblr, pinterest, ikea pages or also H&M home pages looking for interior decor and for different ways to make the space you live in nicer and cozier. That is how I got the idea of making this post where I´ll share a few of photos, videos and pages that inspire me, since I am kind of in the middle of making my place more ... ME :D
I love architecture in general and interior design has always fascinated me. At some point I also wanted to study a interior design so I can make a living out of it. In case you are my reader for some time now you probably remember that I did a few interior inspo posts for you in the past so this is NOT a new topic. But this time I want to do it a bit more "professionally" and fully. SO let´s go.
First of all, there are a few pics I found on internet that summarize my style and what I like the most. Lately I have been into nice neutral colors combined with warmer and darker tones of grey, blue, purple and brown. I like to play with textures and materials. Another thing that I am obsessed with are mirrors. And it is not because I would like to look at myself or anything like that- in fact I was trying to avoid them lately ahha- it is because they open up the space and make every little room look like a huge ball hall.
Natural light is also a big bonus for me. That is why these huge windows bringing all the day light in make me so happy. I have almost full length windows in my room as well so I am like almost the happiest girl in the world ahha.
You know my feelings to brick walls. I am into them in the exterior and I love them even more inside. The mixture of bricks and wood make home feel rustic and industrial at the same time which is perfect combo for me. I don´t have a brick walls inside my house but the wooden floor brings a great potential.
I personalize everything and we all know how much I love photography. That means that photos and frames are a huge must have. Adding a few photos of your friends and family is a cute touch but then having a few inspirational quotes and pictures framed as well is trendy thing these days. I personally am obsessed with it. SO obsessed I am scared that there would be no clear wall soon.
I am really into opened space. Joined kitchen with living room is heaven. You can see everything and everyone but at the same time you have everything nicely separated.
Adding something green is essential. Not only that plants make an oxygen that is more then useful but also they add a home-y and cozy feeling. In case you are not a fan of plants or you are like me and you always forget to water them and just take care of them don´t worry! There are many plants out there that need just a minimum of attention. For example I had a Lucky bamboo for over two years and all I had to do was change its water at least once a month. Ideal would be once a week I guess but still I had it alive for two years sooo... Another once that are famous for all the lazypants are mother-in-law´s tongue, cactus and peace Lily. Aloe Vera is also pretty easy to take care of.
Do you feel like all this is going to take A LOT of money out of your wallet?! Don´t worry! There are plenty of decorations you can make yourself for a little penny. It can be as simple as drawing a bed- header instead of buying one or creating a sofa out of old palettes.
You feel like you are not artistic enough?! Don´t you dare having a professional paint your walls. They will just ask a ridiculous amount of money for doing something that a cheap wallpaper can do for you. The other day I have been to BQ and I found rolls of wallpaper long about 30 meters for 12 pounds. And they were so cool! You can have brick walls, Marilyn Monroe, book shelves or even nature panoramas.
Then there is this trend now and that is a see through furniture. I love the clear and polished look that it adds and it is nice modern detail to rustic and vintage feel that I like so much. What this kind of furniture does to the room is that it makes it look bigger and look like there is really not that many stuff in there. Since you can see through the furniture it feels like there isn´t anything there.
You can find these pieces probably anywhere these days since they are becoming so popular but they can be pretty expensive. That is why I like IKEA TOBIAS chairs so much. They are clear and comfortable. Pricier then I would like but I didn´t find cheaper ones yet.
And after all that it is time for those little details. For the decorations that might be expensive as well but not if you do a bit of crafty work. There are many videos on youtube that show you how easy it is to make something cute and usually practical as well. There are a few I liked....
I really like the idea of having a chalk board in my room to make a few notes or write quotes to cheer me up and this tutorial shows how easy it actually is to create such a useful beauty. And I think that every girly girl/woman loves a good candle or candle holder. Well I have to admit that I felt in love with this lace-y flower-y ones.
In this one that Aspyn did you can see how easy it is to buy something cheap and repaint or respray it however you want it to look. Also In case you can´t paint or use wallpaper in your house/ flat (you are renting it) you can use this cute method of sticking a photos or rubbins on to your wall. They don´t do a lot of damage but they do add something extra to the room.
Also creating something unique can be easier then you think. I personally love how this table turned out. It adds something personal to your home and you can be sure that non of your friends will come over and say "oh I have the same table" .
I love adding different lights and lanterns to the interior. And I also love retro and vintage things. So this Marquee Arrow light is THE perfect DIY for me. It adds something retro- y to your room and also works as a nice light. sooo....
And there is A LOT more that I could talk about to you guys, but I am not sure how many of you made it all the way here to the end of todays post. If you did thank you! I really appreciate it.
In case you would like me to do any other interior design/decor posts just let me know and I´ll make sure I do.
Thank you for reading
Have a nice day and weekend.
Until next time keep safe and live your life to the fullest.
