The way he described me at one point made me think of the girl that I was when we met and how I have still kept my childish essence deep down, how somehow I am still the same girl even though I have changed so much. I love to think that I am quite a grown up and that my decisions are all my own, that I am in charge, but there are days that I really, but really do not want to "adult". I've felt that a lot lately...

I miss being younger sometimes, less stressed, less responsibilities everyday, less... just less of the things that stress me out right now. It's so easy to get lost in all of it, to feel like you don't want to do anything anymore... to just let it all go. That's when the ones close to you matter, that is when your inner child matters, that is when you have to stop for a moment, breathe in, breathe out, and look around; there are so many things that you should be grateful for, every single day. Even if something really bad happen, at the end of the day you are still alive, you got through the day,

Vineri seara bloggerii de beauty din Timisoara s-au adunat pentru a face cunostinta cu produsele Wonderspa, iar pentru ca eu am fost acolo trebuie sa va povestesc ce impresie mi-au lasat produsele si  care sunt cele care mi-au atras atentia in mod deosebit.

Intr-o atmosfera calda, placuta, insotita de cate o cafea sau ceai, am primit cat mai mute informatii utile despre produsele luxuriante pe care le putem gasi pe wondersta, toate de la Diana Raicu, si sincer, nimeni altcineva nu ar fi putut sa ne spuna mai multe despre ce inseamna Wonderspa si despre produse. Avand de a face cu parfumerii franceze, calitatea produselor este de un nivel inalt, iar aromele si aspectul produselor te fac sa te gandesti imediat la Paris, la Franta si la rasfat.

Sapunul cu ananas si gelul de dus le-am primit la eveniment si trebuie sa spun: sapunul de la Galeo miroase genial, ador aroma asa... e incredibila.

The moment I see the pink blossoms I instantly feel that spring is here. I love spring... I don't know if I love it the most of all four seasons (tight battle with my dear Fall) but I sure know that I feel happier and more lively when Spring is back. I love the way the nature just comes back to life, the bright colors, the sun... 

Today's outfit is simple, yet elegant. I paired a sheer white button up with my new favorite navy skirt. You already know how much I love high waisted skirts and this one is incredible. I love the cut, the material, the fact that it has those hidden pockets, the thicker waist band... and also the fact that it dresses up any outfit. I added some black  heels and my favorite blue necklace fom Happines Boutique (you can see more pictures of the necklace here). 

I was sitting in my room a few days ago and just had a moment when I clicked. For some reason I remembered all of the negative things that happened in the last few months, all of the times I got upset for various reasons and... I also thought how lucky I am for what I have now and how grateful should I be, for everything, the good and the bad, cause they all made me learn something really important. (Also, meanwhile, I started scrolling around Pinterest and found this quote: Throw Kindness Around Like Confetti, and it struck my mind, and everything came together).

We all have various reasons to feel sad, disappointed, tired of absolutely everything, reasons to hate something, but at the end of the day, how much of all this is worth it? How much happier will you be if you answer someone's mean behavior with the same mean attitude? Will you be satisfied? For how long?

I have always been the kind of person that refuses to revenge. If someone hurts me, I will go away, as simple as that. But, even though I try, I do as well make my mistakes and act a bit mean when I shouldn't, and to be honest we always act in a very mean and hateful way when something is wrong with us, when in fact there is something else that bothers us, that upsets us and that goes through our minds. 

I know it may be really hard to be positive and kind all the time, mostly when the people around us aren't, but, at the end of the day, keeping yourself human is what matters. What do I mean? Being a kind and thoughtful person, spreading love, that is what being a human being is all about, that is what sets you apart from others. How many people just smile at you of pure kindness? How many people just help you when you need them without asking absolutely nothing in return? How many people can you call when you are down? If your answer to any of this questions is none, that you have to be that person, for the others around you. You should be kind, you should be supportive, you should still be human. You should never, but never answer in a mean way to the ones that hurt, but instead, just show them that you do have a good heart, show them that you are capable of love, and then, leave, they don't deserve to have you if they constantly hurt you, but definitely should know who you are. Just... please, be kind. Please don't lose that pure essence of kindness, and also spread it along, for those who really need it, for those who are so upset and in so much need of love.

I know it may be a lot to take, I know that you will hurt, a lot, but still, my dear, this is the only way to keep your humanity. Be kind. Be human.

I have a thing for blushes, they grew on me a lot lately. I feel that they can just complete a look at any time and give some life to the face. And as we're speaking of blush, I've been eyeing this palette for a while, waiting, patiently to see it in a Sephora near me... and when I saw it... it just had to be mine!

I already have one of the blushes in a mini form, the one in the shade Justify my love. The reason I wanted this palette so much was because I love that one that much that I wanted all of the colors, but to be honest that would be a bit of a whole in a budget, so I also find this palette a bit more budget friendly. This palette I find very convenient for travelling, as you have all of the shades of blush that you could possibly need for any look. It has all of the six shades of the Love Flush range by Too Faced, and I will tell you they're pretty balm. You may think that they are quite small, and yes, they are, but...

...the formula is really nicely pigmented (which means you don't actually need a lot of product), but also easy to blend into the skin for a beautiful flush of color on the cheeks. The shades are beautiful and wearable, suitable for multiple skin tones, I would say (light to medium ones).

The colors are stunning, I love all of them. Baby Love has turned instantly into one of my favourite neutral blushes, it goes with everything, it's subtle but also really beautiful. I have been using them , one different one every day, just to see how they look and how they apply, and there is no flaw I could find so far. I love the cute packaging as well, it's so girly and  pretty, and I will always have  a thing with Too Faced's packaging. 

In ultimul timp am o relatie mai deosebita cu blush-urile. Mi se pare ca pot completa atat de bine un machiaj si ofera putina "viata" fetei. Si daca tot vorbim de blush.. uraresc paleta asta de o gramada de timp si tot asteptam cumintica sa apara si la noi in Sephora, iar in momentul in care am gasit-o... era clar ca nu mai pot sta pe ganduri si am luat-o. 

Am deja unul dintre blush-uri, tot intr-un format mini, in nuanta Justify my Love. Mutivul pentru care am vrut paleta aceasta atat de mult este tocmai faptul ca iubesc blush-ul acela mic atat de mult incat mi-am dorit instant toate culorile, dar... sa fim serioase asta ar si insemna o mica gaura in buget, motiv pentru care mi se pare ca paleta e prietenoasa din acest punct de vedere. Eu o consider foarte convenabila pentru calatorit pentru ca ai in ea toate nuantele de blush de care ai nevoie pentru orice tip de machiaj pe care l-ai putea aborda. Contine toate cele 6 nuante din colectia Love Flush de la Too Faced si pot sa va spun de pe acum ca sunt grozave, Poate veticonsidera ca sunt micute, si sunt, dar...

... formula este destul de pigmentata(ceea ce inseamna ca nu aveti nevoie de foarte mult produs), dar totusi se aplica cu foarte multa usurinta pe piele oferindu-i culoare intr-un mod foarte frumos si natural. Nuantele sunt frumoase si foarte purtabile si se potrivesc tonurilor de piele deschisa sau medii. 

Imi plac toate cele 6 nuante din paleta, iar Baby Love a devenit instant una din favorita pentru ca e neutra si ceva mai subtila, automat potrivita oricarui machiaj. Am folosit cate o nuanta diferita in fiecre zi pentru a ma putea juca mai mult cu ele si pana acum nu le pot gasi cusur. Imi place si ambalajul, care e atat de dragut, feminin si jucaus. 

 Ma gandeam ca ar fi cazul sa stam putin de vorba, si nu despre cosmetice, ci despre ce mancam. Eu recunosc ca tind sa simtt nevoia sa rontai cate ceva atunci cand invat, cand lucrez la ceva  si la fel de bine recunosc ca vreau sa am optiuni sanatoase in gustarile mele. Alimentatia mea a trecut prin foarte multe faze de cand am inceput facultatea, iar acum sunt foarte preocupata de a avea un stil de viata mai sanatos si sunt foarte atenta ce alimente aleg. In ultimul timp am ales un stil de viata mai vegetarian, desi eu tind sa nu ma numesc nici vegetarian, nici vegan si nici alte denumiri pe care le-am mai gasit la un moment dat pentru cei care mananca intr-un anume fel. Eu prefer sa spun ca incerc sa aleg optiunile mai sanatoase pentru mine si care ma fac sa ma simt mai bine. 

Sa trecem acum la produsele despre care vreau sa va vorbesc astazi, unele dintre ele sunt gustari numai bune pe parcursul zilei, altele sunt excelente de adaugat in alte preparate. 

Vreau sa incep cu alimentele esentiale, superfoods, si aici ma refer la semintele de chia. Daca pana acum nu ati consumat seminte de chia, ar trebui sa incepeti sa le adaugati in alimentatie datorita proprietatilor lor. Sunt o sursa excelenta de fibre, proteine, calciu, magneziu, fosfor. Eu le adaug in salate, in smoothies, sau prepar o budinca de chia, va las reteta aici. By the way eu le tot cumpar pe cele de la Solaris, am vreo 3 pungute in cosuletul in care tin eu produsele de genul la camin. 

Un alt aliment de acest gen sunt semintele de canepa, cu proprietati similare.  Am fost foarte bucuroasa cand am vazut ca Solaris a scos mix-ul MaxiFibre care contie seminte de chia, seminte decorticate de canepa si tarate. Cum sa il consumati? E simplu de tot. Cand faceti dimineata un smoothie adaugati si cateva (2-3) lingurite din mix in blender si Voila! tout bien. Nu veti simti gustul semintelor de canepa, eu consum seminte de canepa de anul trecut de prin toamna, asa ca am experienta cu utilizarea lor si pot sa spun ca smoothie-urile mele sunt mereu potrivite pentru a oferi ce am nevoie dimineata. Mentionez ca eu pregatesc cate un smoohie de la 750 de ml dimineata. 

 Apele micelare mi-au ajuns la suflet instant, iar cele doua de mai sus sunt foarte bune amandoua. Le-am folosit cu drag, iar pe cea de la Nivea am si recumparat-o. Indeparteaza machiajul cu ususrinta, chiar si pe cel al ochilor, totusi pentru machiajul waterproof al ochilor va recomand demachiantul de la Nivea, cel bifazic.
