This is my very first try in apparel design! Passion and creativity are not always enough to implement an idea….#babysteps girl! Here I am…
The design is inspired by the Roy Lichtenstein Pop Art. I am all about statement Tees these days… You can dress it up / down, pair it with your favorite jeans or an elegant skirt. Really hope you’ll find a piece of you in my creation ♥
I will be extremely honored if you decide to get one of my Graphic T-shirts (Available in Black and White) and rock it in your own way!
I was invited to the early access of RW17 Collection by ALTERRE in NYC. Unfortunately, I could not make it in time because of my work schedule 😦 However…Not sharing this brand, creators behind it and the idea of it – would be a crime!
I am very hard to impress, I must admit. But this is one of the cases!
“Our shoes are inspired by strong women and the many roles they lead. We’ve even named our looks after women we admire. Muses include headstrong socialite Elsie de Wolfe and Billie Holiday, who inspiringly overcame a tough childhood and became a jazz icon.
Since we are inspired by strong women, we give 5% of our profits to Restore NYC. Restore is a non-profit organization that provides long-term rehabilitation to victims of sex-trafficking in New York, which is one of the largest global markets for human trafficking. By giving these ladies an education, a place to stay for up to a year and placement with local and national companies, Restore breaks the cycle of abuse these women endure, and gives them a fresh start. “

If you have ever struggled with winged eyeliner application, it will change into better once you follow these simple 3 steps:
~~~
1. Slightly pull the outer corner of your eye towards the ear, draw a line all the way from the inner corner of your eye to the outer corner. Try your best to do it in one stroke, that’s how the line is going to be crisp and stunning looking!
2. Draw a stroke of a size as long as you want your wing to be, from the outer corner of your eye towards the tail of the eyebrow.
~~~
3. From the end of the wing draw a stroke inwards connecting it with the original one, and… there you have it!

In this blog post I’m going to be talking about the products that I’ve tested for years & that have proved themselves to be literally TOPs in my list of Hair Care Products.
However, we’re going to be talking about “after shower” care, i.e. excluding shampoos, conditioners etc. (gonna touch it upon in the future posts)

1. Referring to the particular order of hair care procedure that I’ve developed for myself, would like to start with a moistureenrichment product: Right after washing my hair, I apply AVEENO NOURISH + CONDITION Leave-In Treatment. It “locks” the moisture in hair, making it soft and healthy, while treating spit ends as well! It also has a very pleasant scent, which is a great plus for me ❤

8 FL. OZ (237 ml) $4
2. I am sure, all of us this way or another apply heat to our hair! Well, I do it a LOT! It has always been extremely crucial for me to use heat protectingproducts and apply them every time before I blow dry, straighten or curl my hair! I’ve been raving about TRESemme Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Protective Spray in my beauty / recommendation videos for quite a while! I have not found a better product ever since, it completely “blocks” the heat influence, leaving hair looking and feeling healthy.

6.8 FL. OZ (200 ml) $45
3. You can never go wrong with a really really good (don’t be afraid to invest – it’s really worth it!) Oilwhen it comes to hair treatment. It’s perfect for the split ends (I suggest avoiding the roots!), adds shine and healthy look. As for the dry hair – it is absolutely necessary! The one I’ve been using for years is MoroccanOil Treatment. I use it after the shower on wet hair rubbing it into my hair, when my hair is dry on a daily basis to add some additional shine, sleek it out when wearing a pony tail etc.
Let me be honest here! I got the GOSH SOFT ’N SHINE LIP BALM just because of the color, since it has the exact undertone I was looking for ♥ Have never tried GOSH balms before and had no idea how they would work on my lips.
Actually, I haven’t even swatched it in the store and thought it was more of a sheer lipstick rather than a balm. (hashtag “fast buyer”)
So, the one I own is in 34 Perfect Plum.
And let me tell you, I’ve noticed reaching out for it every single day recently. What I really like about it is that it’s beautifully pigmented for a lipstick & glides on making lips super soft like a balm. Goes gorgeous with a variety of eye makeup looks as well!
The only down side is that it actually requires retouches throughout the day quite often – not very long lasting! However, it does not claim to be..so we’re not misguided here in any sense!
For those of you being a fan of tinted lip balms – this is definitely a MUST HAVE! (Plan on getting it in other shades too).
