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

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

Tuesday with a little Tease

Image
Enjoying my first day off from work, I went with a friend to a bakery called TEASE . It's a rock 'n' roll bakery (so they say) and in fact, the only reason I noticed it was because they were playing Guns N' Roses one night (it's open until 11pm, perfect for a snack at night). But here's the thing: although they call themselves a rock 'n' roll bakery , the inside suggests a whole different thing! The decoration is very vintagelike, the food looks delicate and yummi... Cupcakes, muffins, milkshakes and teas, toats, salads, all of this to the sound of Florence and the Machine, Friendly Fires and many others. Perfect for an afternoon with a friend or a date with your sweetheart! This time, pictures will be mainly of food but more will come, featuring the decoration and furniture! Yummi dreams, XOXO, M P.S: Any additional information about the place, click here !

5 fashion things having a job has taught me

Image
Ever since I finished college and started working, some changes have happened in my fashion life. I am the youngest member of the staff, this is my first (almost) full time job and the environment, although casual and laid back, requires a certain discretion and poise on my part. #1 Working at a school and having to deal with the parents as well as with the kids, cleavage/see-throughs/extremely short shorts and skirts are frowned upon. The first two are just rude in a school environment. As for skirts and shorts, I wear them a lot during winter (with tights!), but it becomes tricky in spring. I only wear them when it's to warm to consider anything else. Harem/aladdin pants are also acceptable. Just remember: the shorter the bottoms, the more coverage you should have on your top, going for a boat or round neck tshirt. #2 Balance your makeup. I struggled a little with this one. As much as I love black eyeliner, even when I use a super thin brush, I rarely make a thin line. This m
