The traveling series #1

Ever since I was little, I have had the opportunity to travel regularly and it became an activity I enjoy very much. Just the thought of entering an airplane makes me happy and excited, no matter how short the journey.

 This month I'll be travelling with my boyfriend and preparing the trip is being a thrill. Here are some tips if you have an upcoming trip or if you're thinking about going on one:

 - acquire city/country guides: there's one for every type of traveler  and they contain valuable information and maps. If you're more of a digital person, digital guides are also available to use on your smartphone or tablet. Tips about restaurants with access to some reviews, stores you must go to and maps are some of the things you can expect, and some apps don't even require internet access.

 - plan your trip: selecting activities for each day saves a lot of time and you'll be completely free to enjoy the trip to its fullest. Most monuments and museums have websites with all the information you need about opening hours, how to get there, and in most cases, the day you can visit without any charge. Another great thing is that european citizens under 25/26 years of age can go to almost every monument for free.

 - aside from reading traveling guides, the internet is a powerful tool. People share experiences on personal blogs and information about restaurants for nearly every wallet is available with a single click. 

 - don't forget to check the weather forecast: traveling without the appropriate clothes can make things a little difficult. You wouldn't want to face cold and rain wearing sandals, right?

 These are pretty obvious tips, but remembering them is always a good idea. Do you have any tips you'd like to share? How often do you travel?

XOXO,

 M

Hair Inspiration

Image
It's been a little over a year since I changed my hair colour (and cut): from brunette with a long hair to copper with shoulder lenght hair. I then tried bright red, but for some reason, the colour didn't stick and I decided to try colouring my hair at home, using OLIA . The colour is amazing and it's lasting a lot more than my last trip to the hair saloon! But the time has come to visit a professional and have my hair properly dyed ( and cut). I enjoyed seeing myself with bright hair colour and that's what I'm going for. I'm just not sure about the cut, but i feel I should risk a "just-above-the-shoulders" cut. My volumous/fizzy/rebelious hair has a will of its own, making it hard to style, but thank god I bought a hair straightner! :) Should I risk a shorter haircut or keep it medium and growing? As for the colour, it's just like the pictures below: bright, vibrant red! Have a wonderful monday! XOXO, M

Universal

Being an enthusiast of all things from The Body Shop, I'm always looking forward for new products and ranges. Recently, the brand launched their Smoky Poppy line, with Turkish poppies and just in time for Valentine's day. I have featured the body lotion on this month's wishlist, but along with the line came another product. These Velvet Sticks are suitable for lips and cheeks. The colours look vivid here, but I tested them in the store and was a little disappointed. The coral one was also on my wishlist, but I found the colour to be very light on the lips.  So what did I bring? See the black one? "Black lipstick and black blush?" Naah!! The packaging is gorgeous, but I'm a sucker for black and pink. Also the poppy flower print blends in very well with the logo! Here's what's interesting: this stick is called "universal" because it works for everyone. But not everyone will get the same shade! The colour changes according to your skin's pH ...

New Stuff!!

Yesterday I had a little accident: I broke my glasses. In my infinite wisdom I decided to put them in my pocket, forget about it and then go sit down...amazing right? Since the lenses were ok, I just needed to replace the frame. I found none to match the lenses so I had to buy everything new (Bless you, promotions!!). Curious?  Here's me with the old ones,     This outfit was featured in a post, see it here ! And now me with the new glasses,  I feel like they're a bit nerdy but I really liked them. I was a little tired of narrow frames, these ones seemed like a good change (although they're red too, but still a change). Yay or nay? Jeans: PULL & BEAR Tshirt: PULL & BEAR Jacket: TOMMY HILFIGER Necklace: STONE BY STONE Earrings: STONE BY STONE Right hand ring: ACCESSORIZE Left hand ring: STONE BY STONE Super Volume Mascara: THE BODY SHOP Lip Line Fixer: THE BODY SHOP Lipstick Sephora Rouge in Hot Tango : SEPHORA Soap Honey I Wash...
