New York - Day 1


Well, not exactly day one, but practically - yes.
I'm finally in New York city! After 6600 km, 1 hour long waiting lines at
customs and border control, 40 minutes of taxi ride and 25 hours of no
sleep, I'm in the Big Apple and I'm super happy about it!
I haven't seen much, not even around the hotel, but I did go to Macy's to
keep myself awake by all the lights, noise and music blasting from everywhere.
I got some new cosmetics which I can't get back at home, so I'm quite happy
with my purchases for today :)

Tomorrow will be more eventful day and much more sight seeing orientated.
Now I'm finally going to bed and will hopefully catch up with sleep.

Here're couple of photos which I took so far.

Have a good day everyone!

Outfit post - Applause


Good Wednesday everyone!

I hope that you're all having a great day in whichever corner
of the world you are.
It's very rainy here in Helsinki and I've had couple of to be honest
shitty days but it doesn't take very long for me to feel energised,
strong and inspired.
I've always been this kind of person which will always look on the positive
side of everything. Every little thing that happens in life it happens for a reason
and there's no such thing as accidents in life, so if you're down or have been I
wish you to get your head up, clear it from all the bad thoughts, gather your
"weapon" and march into new day and new wins because there are many fights
to be fought and the most important is to never give up, because that's the only
way to reach all the highs in life that you're craving for.

Once you reach them, applause yourself for enduring all the hard times you've
ever encountered on your road :)

My life via Instagram


Good Monday everyone!
Here's a roundup of some Instagram photos that I took in past 2-3 weeks.
Only couple of days are left until my trip to New York and I'm very
excited about it. I'm going to start packing today so that I don't do
everything in the very last moment.

New in - Beauty


This Friday I've prepared something different for you guys.
I have collected a lot of new beauty products in the past 2 months, so
I wanted to share with you which ones I've been using and how are they
doing for me.

Here we go :)





As you can see, there're a lot of different products for body, hair, skin, nails, etc.
Let's start with the body ones:




L'OCCITANE VANILLA & NARCIS body shower gel and lotion

I have picked these two products not long time ago, maybe a week ago and
I already can't imagine my morning shower without them. I love anything vanilla
scented and Narcis has nicely complemented vanilla scent in this gel/ lotion that
it turned out to be my favourite combination so far. I have used soooo many different
body gels and lotions but these two bottles are my favourite purchase so far when it
comes to that matter.

KIEHL'S CREME DE CORPS soy milk&honey body polish

I have just picked up this product and I still haven't come around to use it, but
once I will, I think that I'm going to like it a lot. I like everything I've tried from
Kiehl's so far and I don't think that this body polish will be any less worth my money.
I will update you on how I liked it, once I start using it, but for now I can tell you
what Kiehl's "promises" that it will do : "Exfoliates skin without drying it. Contains
pure honey and milk protein. Leaves skin soft and smooth."

MELLIS SILVA ARCTIC foot cream

I absolutely like this foot cream with mint oil and honey. It's very cooling, nourishing and
the skin on my feet isn't so rough looking anymore after it's been very roughened up
after my holidays in Croatia, since I've been walking bare feet almost everywhere and esp.
I like to walk on the rocks and rocky beaches, so...




MICHAEL TODD ORGANICS clay mask and cleansing gel for face

I've been using these two products for about 2 weeks now and I can say
that they're definitely amazing! They're great for my skin, I feel that they
don't dry my skin out, they cleanse it well, unclog my pores and also leave
my skin feeling soft and looking radiant! I have ordered these products directly
from their official website, since I haven't seen Michel Todd anywhere in Europe.

LA MER cleansing foam

This is my holy grail product! I've been using it for over 3 years now and
it's done wonders for my skin which was in horrible shape back then.
It's like gentle peeling and cleansing gel in one. I can recommend this to everyone!
Also, this product lasts for quite long, about 2 months in my case.




MAC brush cleanser liquid

Great product! I bought it because it's been recommended to me and
it became my saviour right away, since I didn't had any product which I could
use to clean my brushes with. Definitely worth the money.

BARE MINERALS spf 20 concealer & maximum coverage brush

One of the best concealing products! I really like both, they've come in handy
quite often lately since I haven't been getting much sleep and thanks to these two
little thingies my face/ eyes look much more rested that what they really are :)




PAPIER POUDRE powdered rose paper

My skin tends to get quite oily/ greasy after wearing make up for couple
of hours and these little papers come in very handy in those situations when
my forehead looks like you could fry eggs on it, but I still need to stay downtown
and have no possibility to touch up my make up.

ESSIE NAILPOLISH

These two shades are Jamaica Me Crazy and Mademoiselle. I've picked up these
two on my holidays in Croatia and have been using them frequently!
What else to say about Essie nail polishes that you already don't know? I just love them!

MOROCCANOIL frizz control

Great little thing which keeps my hair "in place" and it doesn't look awful
5 minutes after going out of the house.
It's very simple to use and it does the great job, just like the rest of Moroccanoil
products I've used so far.

Outfit post - Peacock


Tuesday, only 10 days left until my trip to NYC and
travelling fever has kicked in BIG time a while ago. This trip is the only
thing I talk about, think about and am researching where to go,
what to see, where to eat, etc. I think that by now I have found a lot
of "must see/ eat/ shop" places, but of course if you wish, please leave
me your tips on this matter.

I had nice day so far. In the morning I went shopping with my sister
and I got couple of beauty products which I'm looking forward to including
in my daily beauty routine.
We also went to our favourite cafe downtown for a salad.
Right now I'm about to go out for a walk and clear my mind of all these
thoughts about the upcoming trip and my future in general and just
soak in the sun rays and breath in fresh air :)

Wishing you a wonderful day everyone!

I'm wearing: Sandals - Vagabond, Dress - Nicole Richie for Macy's,
Jewellery & sunnies - HOH1960, Lipstick - Mac

New York shopping wish list


As I've been already mentioning like 1000 times on my blog,
I'm going to New York in less than 2 weeks and I'm very excited to go there
for many reasons. One of the reasons, which is quite
obvious for many females is that it's a shopping heaven, so between
sightseeings, museums, park walks, restaurants and such, I will also
spare time for shopping.

I have created 3 collages via Polyvore.com which show you what
kind of items I have on my wish list.
Of course, I'm in no possibility to buy all of these items, but some of
them, hopefully I will.
Great pair of boots, perfectly fitting winter coat and a new bag are
the top items I would like to bring back home with me.

What is on your wish list for Fall/ Winter?

Outfit post - The call is mine


Is it Friday already? Oh yes, it is! Time is just flying by so fast
that I can't understand that it's already August and in 2 months I will
turn 1 year older and get one more year "under my belt"...
Sometimes I wish to be able to stop, pause the time and let it
be that way for a while, yet on the other hand, at times I wish that
the time would fly even faster so that the moments I'm waiting for
come right away.

Aren't we people funny!? :)

However, I'm about to spend this afternoon outdoors and try
to clear my mind by walking in the forest. I always get inspired
when in nature, so hopefully it will be the same this time too.

Have a great weekend everyone!
