DOn' t waste my time!

Disclaimer! As usual I go from one topic to the other! But that makes me .. ME! And only that way you will truly understand me. Enjoy x

At the age of 21 I have had enough experience with relationships. In general. Friendships, work, men, family, and a lot of people know me cause of my hobbies and profession. It all is a mess!Keeping it all sane, balanced and everyone happy?! That is impossible. That is why I have been let down, disappointed, used or just purely 'efd' over.
That is only natural though guys. I have never met anyone who had life simple. Who would have never gone through any of these problems. You meet people and they often waste your time. Their dramas, attitudes or lies.
And believe it or not, I don' t mean to cry about it in this post. I am actually happy I bump into these humans. They all have a purpose. There is a reason to everything that happens to you and you learn from it. Maybe it doesn' t seem like it at first, but with some time passing, you will realize how that person have changed you. How no argument is ever totally pointless.
With that being said, I would still like to get number of people that seem to love wasting my time to gown down and simply stop! It ain' t fun no more. Cheers ;) lol.

What do you think about these photos though?! 

I know, slight change of topics haha. But honestly, the whole relationships thing.. We can all relate. I just hope some people will realize I have targeted them. And maybe I havent even talked about you , the one reading this, yet you still feel guilty. Better go and do something bout it ha?!

Right... back to my peng pics.

My lovely Maya, you can read bout her here, took these of me the other day. And I really love them. Shows casual and very natural side of me. I didnt glam up big time yet I felt amazing. I am actually a good looking human, Who knew?!

 I did! That is what I keep telling myself every day. I have been through a lot. People around me put me into a lot of situations in which I thought very little about myself. Feeling of embarrassment, sadness, thinking I am ugly, fat, useless and an overall mess. Not all at once necessarily. I do still get almost daily reminders of these thoughts and they do slightly run through my head. That is why I created this as if mantra I repeat to myself. ' I am beautiful, I am confident, I am strong, smart, talented, sexy. I am a diamond! They might shape me, try to cut me and change me. But they will never ever break me!' 

Little something that keeps me going. Helps keeping the tears in as you meet daily or not so usual obstacles.
This unbreakable diamond mantra is something I talked about with my friends during a photo shoot. They agree with me! We should all think of ourselves, life and people around us in this way. You will be tossed around. People will try to change you, make you something you are not etc. But remember they will never break you. As long as you remind yourself what a beautiful unique and shiny thing you are. 

To keep myself separated from all that wrong energy and trying to keep all those bad thoughts, I have about myself, as far away as I can, I had to cut down some people. Make sure they do not waste my time no more. Make sure I think about myself. Put myself and my relationship with ME first. After all Ru Paul says it as it is. If you don' t learn how to love yourself, how the hell are you gonna love somebody else? True. I am working on this relationship every day. There is definitely a progress being made.

So please ask yourself a question. Are you, your own priority? Do you make sure your are happy and comfortable ? No?! Change it. Yes?! Good job you!

 outfit: NEW LOOK shoes, ZARA coat (actual sign 'dont waste my time' at the back), H&M top, PRIMARK leggings (distressed with time and hard work lol), sunnies from old friend EBAY for less then a pound!

 Are you going to let people play around with you?! Or are you gonna make them stop wasting your time?! And theirs. Remind them of who you are. Show them what a strong rock you are. How much you shine without them in your life. That they do not effect you no more. Thats when you will be truly you, be happy and shine.
Love yourself and be your own priority.

Until next time, keep safe and live your life to the fullest.

For my hood diamonds....

colors

Welcome to the colorful world of Maya. I have mentioned this lady before. I showed you photos of her, that I took, before. This time I am bringing you few new shots.
Very colorful, street or urban if you prefer and very happy.
That is what I want to quickly mention.

I met this lady about a year ago. sweet mummy came to a barbershop I worked at, to get her undercut shaved and shaped up. Nothing extra unusual bout that. Half a year later we realized, that somebody up there (god, goddess, matrix etc) wants us to be mates. We had mutual friends, hobbies and liked similar stuff. Also hated pretty much the same things too , which usually brings people closer then the first few points I made would. She has always been pretty positive person but it felt like something was missing.
Recently she became to understand herself fully and opened up to everyone about who she really is. Started being 100 % herself and guys, I have never seen a happier lady. She seems more confident, positive, comes out of her shell more. Well at least easier. I don' t have to beg her to give up netflix and come out with me now.
This little (and I mean little :P) human showed me how happy one can be when they are true to who they are and share it with the close once. I always knew this was a way but seeing her closely like this, it touched me more then anybody else' s journey.
Now before I make this cheesier then I already did, Let ' s see those crazy nice pics I took of her. Oh and don't forget to take in the positivism of them.

Lesson here?! Make sure you stay honest, true to who you are and dont be scared of sharing with others. Only more love and happiness comes your way if you do so.

Until next time, keep safe and live your life to the fullest.

The glow

You know that look you have once you arrive to your  holiday? All the stress is gone, a lot of sleep, happy eyes... The glow is a real thing. Holiday glow. Not only I am stress free but I had so much time to chill and rest , it would be impossible to not look like this.

 I have been back home for few days . Spent time with friends and family. All nice. As much as I am enjoying this, I am actually looking forward to be back in reality and my world. This time though, I am bringing my glow with me.

 I tried being as comfortable as possible. Also I got slight burn on my skin so wearing as little clothes as possible is great. This was one of my fav looks. I wore it to a diner date with one of my best friends. Super comfortable and easy on skin.

short Primark, top C&A, shoes NEW LOOK, glasses were a gift, earring Primark, lipstick Dermacol and bag Borse in Pelle

 Have you been for your holiday this year yet? Or you just planning your trip.
Until next time, keep safe and live your life to the fullest

I love braids! As a hairdresser my favorite technique ever is braiding. Any type I can. With or without extension, cornrows, fishtails, dutch braids, french braids. Just love it. 

It is a perfect way to freshen up your summer style. I do them on myself all the time too. It works its magic really!

Get inspired - Get creative - Experiment a little

What is your favorite style? DO you rock them Kardashian braids? Or you like more of boho vibe?
Let me know x

One really Happy Girl

There are many things and places that make me happy. This was one of them. And very high up on the top. Trip to London. My birthday trip actually. I went down south with someone special and I have never felt happier. This city has something that filled me up with joy, hope and new ideas. I realised how many possibilities there really are. It was pretty something.

I didn' t plan on sightseeing or anything. Just needed to feel that big city vibe again. First day was tour round few artsy neighborhoods, second day belonged to especially bankside and Camden. Last day was more of 'someone specials' day. Catching up with friends and showing me Brixton etc. I loved Elephant and Castle vibe. There was something so nice about the mix of cultures and types of people. Same in Brixton. If I was ever to move down to London I would sure think of them two areas.

As far as my closet goes I tried to pack light. Not over packing or nothing like that. These are my go to jeans. I combined them with different tops and accessories. SO yh haha

Did I mention I was happy?

What makes you feel over joyed? Is it a thing or place?

Until next time, keep safe and live your life to the fullest

Grown Up Talk

Life is fucking hard. Adulting sucks. Waking up every day knowing you have to rush off to work, make money, deal with people you wouldn' t necessarily wanna talk to any other day, listening to everyone's problems and then going back home starving and exhausted. Second you get your pay check, all the numbers fly off to god knows where and you are back to stage 1. Isn' t that your dream life?

I love my job. I am crazy happy that my childhood expectation of fun day is actually my now every work day. But it is the same struggle too. It repeats itself over and over till I drop in bed. We all know the drill. As a hairdresser you take care of people. I call it an alternative way of carers job. You get people down, ask whats wrong, what they want and need, try your best making them happy, listen to their life stories, troubles, etc. If you decide they deserve it you offer them tea and biscuit. Or if they are too much and you need them to just shut up for a bit. It really isn' t all fun. At the end of a shift you really are physically and mentally drained.
Then to top it off you get occasional lady or gent that no matter what won' t be happy with your service. Now that can really drag you down. After all that people still expect you to be good fam and friend.
I am an emotional and stress ball guys! Get it?! Do you know why most bartenders drink or take drugs on their shifts? Cause they go through similar shit just for 5 to 10 minutes at a time. I get minimum of 20 long minutes.

As much as I complain , it still is my dream job and I wouldn' t change it for anything unless I really had to. But maybe next time you sit in that chair, think of my words. Or dear family and friends, be aware... next time I behave like a bitch, you probably had nothing to do with it. Might of been that gentleman that wanted a skin fade but as soon as I gave him a 1 on sides he got tears in eyes and felt the regret and gave me a long talk bout what a horrible human I am.
Much Love

Until next time, keep safe and live your life to the fullest

Maya found her inner GAGA

A few weeks ago I had an assessment in college. It was my last project to do so I was very excited. My joy was multiplied by the fact, that I could create any Avant Garde look for photoshoot and get my inspiration from anywhere. Meaning I am in full charge of hair, make-up, styling and photography. That is my dream.
Me loving beauty and seeing something wonderful in everyone i started thinking. Where do I get inspiration from. But more importantly, who will be my model? Oh I know!!! I know!!! Maya! My gorgeous crazy mate. From there on inspiration was easy. As I though of Avant Garde I just saw her face. Her unusual face full of genius ideas. Lady Gaga ladies and gents!

Blues... Purples... and all the rest

I have been totally obsessing over trying different colored lipsticks. Something new everyday. I guess it started when my closet turned into black whole and my OOTDs became repetitive and monochromatic. I needed something interesting to break the boredom.
If you know anything about me, it is that I am not afraid of crazy lips.

 This color might not be too crazy or out there but belongs into my favorites at the moment. I remember looking at myself last year, as I put purple lipstick on and thinking 'wow , that is very vibrant'. These days I can' t leave the house without it. I means LOVE.

I combine two loves together. It is this gorgeous purple from last years collection for COLLECTION you can find in superdrug and plum lipgloss from NEWLOOK. It is gorgeous. It isnt too shiny, but defo not matte. It has creamy texture but not sticky at all.
As I said.. LOVE.

What are you obsessed with these days? Have you tried that grey color trend? I bought a lipgloss in grey and love it. Still have to find an event to wear it to though.

Until next time, keep safe and live your life to the fullest

Happy Weekends Yall

 One of my happiest weekends last month has most definitely been the one, when one of my besties came to visit. The hardest thing to do when moving to foreign country is leaving everyone else behind. All the family and friends that stayed in my hometown. I am very lucky to have people so close to my cheesy little hard and it was really hard to go away from them. I don' t believe in good-byes. I never say those words to people I love and know I will see again. Ever. Even if I was to take a break from them for good year I WILL only say 'See you later'. Especially my best friends.
Timi is one of those I know I will never get out of my life. She came in as we started high school and got stuck. For that reason I am more then happy to see her whenever we can.

The other week she came to visit out lovely windy city of Liverpool. Now for someone who has been used to life in London, where she spent her summer, this wasn' t very exciting. That much better was time we spent together. We made sure to have fun no matter what. Oh and we sure went shopping way too many times. Too many. Ask my bank account if you don' t trust me.

This is a lifestyle and fashion blog. Yes! For the lifestyle part I don' t think there is anything about Liverpool I haven' t mentioned yet. We seen all the must check spots and I had to take Timi to Nandos as she ha never been and I am still kind of obsessed with.
As far as the fashion goes, you have to keep it casual at day time. Wearing anything but pants at this time of a year is as risky as going roller coasters in A-line skirt. Risk of having Marylin Monroe moment in front of everyone and anyone. I actually love how we sort of ended up matching. That is something I never thought would happen as our styles are pretty different.

My OOTD: Jeans- New Look, Jacket- TK Maxx, Shirt- Primark, Bag- H&M, shoes- Primark, Sunnies- Steve Madden
Simple jeans, chucks, cross body bag, leather and top combination is priceless. Combining all the must haves of any typical white chick.

Timi's OOTD: shoes- Converse, Jeans- H&M, Jacket- Bershka, Scarf- H&M, Bag- C&A. Very Zoella, don' t you think?

There is nothing better then finding a little bag that is out of your way and won' t annoy you when moving, but also stores all your musts. we both went for slightly different styles. I used it as main accent point and Timi did just little subtle but useful way.

What do you consider happy weekend? Do you have any routine or just wing it? Oh and have you ever been to Liverpool?

Until next time, keep safe and live your life to the fullest
