Mini series: Thanks for the tip

With so many options out there, it's hard to find the best hair removal product. All of them have their benefits and flaws, so I guess it's best to go for the one that annoys you least.

Personally I alternate between shaving and using sugar paste also known as Egyptian hair removal. Why do I use it? One of the things I don't like about waxing is having to use strips. During the process of removing hairs my hands get so oily and sticky that it's hard to just work with it. Also, wax gets cold so after some time I have to waddle to the kitchen to heat it up again. With sugar paste you only work with a small caramel ball and are not required to touch anything else. What I love about it is that it does pull out the hair in the arm pit area,which I couldn't do with wax.

This paste is also nice because you can make it at home. You only need lemon, sugar, water and maybe honey. There are many recipes you can check out with different ratios of ingredients. I'd give you a recipe but I only managed to make it right once, the first time I did it, and after that I never made it right again. That's why I buy it in a store. It's by Cleopatra and it's pretty good.

However, there are some flaws to this. If you buy it in a store you will get it in container. And once you open it, especially if it's winter, you will notice that it is a heck of a workout to get it out. Another thing is that you can't use it during summer since the paste gets to sticky and melted and your hands get sweaty which results in paste not sticking to the skin. Unless you have a really cold indoor space then that's another story.

I am trying to find something better to use. I've been wanting to try out those strips that already have wax on or something similar, but I feel they are a bit pricey for the amount you get. So if you have any recommendation do notify me in a comments. I'm in need of a help!

Mini series: A day to look fabulous

Cold days are coming but is it a must to not wear anything short? I say not.
Personally, I love high waisted skirts such as this one and I believe I will soon purchase it also. Wearing leggings underneath or densely knitted tights should hopefully be a way to stop the frostbite. The dress shirt makes this outfit more sophisticated but still interesting enough with the bow for us young people not wanting to look boring. I went with mostly plain basic colours adding burgundy since it is Autumn and that one suits the weather perfectly. Plus, if you love wearing dark lipstick it will be a perfect match.
The coat is a light pastel colour and it's quite baggy so you can feel cosy and comfortable. What I like about it is that it reminds me of older times where women have worn clothes similar to men's. It may not be the first match to the colour of the skirt but I wanted the contrast that's not so typical. I also added flat black boots since I'm completely useless in heels, as I'm sure many of you are. These are also more comfortable if you're out all day walking.
There are not many accessories except for the scarf matching the skirt and being a fighter against the cold, and this bag that is coming back. I absolutely love this type of bag since the weight is spread on both of the shoulders so you shouldn't end up walking like one of your legs is shorter.

The complete outfit really reminds me of all the times you want to snuggle by the fireplace at night. It might not be the perfect idea to wear if it's really cold but it does look amazing. All these clothes I've found on Polyvore.com and are available to buy. Also they're not that expensive which is what we all look for.

Mini series: Hairy situations

I'd imagine there are plenty of you struggling with your hair. Welcome to the club! One of the main things I decided to do, after finishing my education, is to focus on this part of me I like to call a few pieces of feathers.

I don't particularly think there is a big problem there. It's more of a noticeable change over the past couple of years. It just feels like it's not where it could or should be, which I'm not even completely sure about. I do wish I had more hair follicles on my scalp, and I do think it was thicker when I was younger so I'm not sure if it's even a possibility to thicken it again. Most likely not. Most likely I'm forever stuck with a shoulder length haircut.

That is why I decided to concentrate on just getting it healthy, at least. Last night I used coconut milk oil mask that I myself extracted out of the coconut fruit. I applied it onto my scalp with dry hair, did a small scalp massage to get the circulation going and then also applied it on the rest of my hair. I left it on for the rest of the night using plastic bag that I wrapped around my head, or you can use a shower cap, and just in case I put clean towel over my pillow. If you worry about having oily hair afterwards, as the coconut fruit is quite oily, it is very easy to wash off with a shampoo and a conditioner. I used just random ones and I did shampoo my hair twice since I was told that conditioner does add up some oil that I didn't want to double up.

The results were quite nice! My hair was really soft afterwards and easy to comb trough. I also noticed that my scalp doesn't itch as it usually does after the washing, could be because coconut oil has the capability to get into the follicle and deeply nurture it.

I encourage you to try coconut hair masks if you are dealing with any scalp problem. Let me know your experience!

Mini series: Introducing me

1. I like being awake in the morning just when the sun is rising.

2. If during the day I get an episode of tiredness I will become still and shut up. Usually people think I'm sad.

3. I don't feel comfortable being touched so if I let you hug me for more than 5 sec it means I like you.

4. It should be easy to get me to do something for food.

5. My worst nightmare would be if someone would set me up with a guy. I don't like being pressured into a friendship and it takes me a long time to judge a person to see if I can let them into my bubble.

6. I'm fascinated with bubbles and balloons.

7. I have a fear of being judged as a young woman.

8. I despise making a phone call.It literally takes me half an hour to get the courage to call someone.

9. I very easily pick up someones bad energy.

10. I can be very blunt which usually causes awkward situations or it makes me sound rude.

Mini series: Thanks for the tip

The winter is just around the corner and already I feel that my hands are getting dry. Reminiscing to my previous experience this is the only product that was able to get rid of the redness and rough skin so I feel comfortable recommending it to everyone else who may not be aware of it.
It basically is some kind of fat, plant based I think. But if you have any kind of skin problem: acne, burns, scars ~ give melem a chance and see for yourself if it's worth it.

I know for some melem may be a bit expensive, however it does last quite long. Check their WEB SITE to see where about they deliver.
