Breakfast at Tiffanys, big comfy sweaters & healthy sweets.

sounds good doesn't it?

My favorite Audrey Hepburn film, along with

Roman Holiday. I can watch Breakfast at Tiffany's 

over and over again. I always watch something on netflix

before I fall asleep and this is the movie I watched last week.

It's so sweet and funny and Audrey Hepburn looks so pretty!

Yup, it has been reeeal cold lately, so I've been

living in my big comfy sweater. The best feeling

in the world is when you come home from school, take off

your uncomfortable clothes and get in your sweats, aaaaah!

I love making healthy sweets, it's so easy!

This is just bunch of nuts, dates and peanut butter.

Soooo goood

That's it, hope you liked this post :)

How to Stay Motivated to Exercise

It's so important to exercise and it's a big part of

being healthy but it's also really important that you enjoy it.

I used to take dance classes but I decided to quit two years ago,

instead I bought a gym membership card. When I didn't feel like

going to dance class, I still had to go because otherwise I would have

missed out of the dance routine. But when you have a gym membership card

you can go whenever you want to and let's face it, that could lead to you never

going to the gym. That's why I'm giving you 5 tips on how you can stay

motivated to go to the gym and exercise!

Set a Goal

Set a goal for yourself and reward

yourself when you reach that goal! Remember

to make your goals realistic and not to drastic, take

one step at a time. If you want for example to be 

able to run 10 kilometers, start by setting yourself

smaller goals that will lead to that big goal.

Change things up a bit

Don't always do the same exercises, you will

get bored after a while and eventually give up.

You can for example do cardio two days a week

and lift weights one day a week, whatever works for you.

Music

I can't exercise without my music, it makes

it ten times more fun to exercise with music.

Listen to upbeat music, music that makes you 

want to move! Just remember to change up

your playlist once in a while. My current favorite

 songs to workout are:

American Boy - Estelle & Kanye

Flawless Remix - Beyoncé & Nicki Minaj

Euphoria - Loreen

Womanizer - Britney Spears

Eat right & Healthy

It makes so much difference if you eat right 

before and after gym and also a great tip is to 

never go to the gym when you are hungry or right

after you've eaten. It's said to be good for you to

eat a banana or porridge before you exercise.

Take Days Off

Don't try to go to the gym or exercise everyday you don't

want to overtrain. It is really important to let your body rest

 and recharge your batteries. Do something that you love on

your rest days, watch your favorite movie, eat ice-cream, read

a book, anything! Not only are the rest days important for your

physical health but also your mental health.

January Favorties

There are sooo many new things that I've been loving this January that it

was almost impossible to choose. Somehow I managed to stick to only five

products and I have used them almost everyday this month.

The Naked 2 Palette

Let me tell yah, after I got this palette I've used almost

nothing else on my eyes. The colors are so beautiful and they

all go so well together. They are also beautifully pigmented and

if you are wearing a good eye primer, your eyeshadow will stay on

all day or all night.

Naked Flushed in Strip

It didn't take a long time for me to buy the Naked flushed after I got

the Naked 2 palette. It's a great palette containing a bronzer, highlighter 

and blush. The colors are beautiful and pigmented, plus it's really handy

when you are travelling or on the go and you can just take the palette instead

of taking a bunch of products. The only thing I don't like about the palette is

that I think that the highlighter could be better. It's good but not good enough for

urban decay and I think the Mary-Lou Manizer by the balm is so much better.

Benefit they're Real Mascara

I only have the miniature version of this mascara but

oh my god! This is way far the best mascara I've ever

tried. I can't believe I waited this long to try it. It makes your

lashes look so  long and thick and my own mother asked 

me if I was wearing fake eyelashes when I was wearing this mascara!

If that doesn't convince you to try this mascara, I don't know what will.

The Body Shop Aloe Soothing Night Cream

This moisturizer is really good if you have dry

skin. My skin has been really dry lately so I've also

been using this in the mornings before I do my makeup.

It's also really good for sensitive skin and it smells nicely.

The Body Shop Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil

After Amelia Liana featured this cleansing oil in her 2014

favorites video, I had to have it. It removes all of your makeup so easily 

and it even works on waterproof makeup. It leaves your skin really

soft and moisturized. If you are looking for a good makeup remover, you'll

have to try this one.

Lately #1

I've been meaning to do more lifestyle posts,

so I thought I would tell you guys what I've been

doing lately. I met some friends a couple of weeks ago which

was really nice, I hadn't seen them for a while and we 

talked until really late that night! Here is the makeup look

I was wearing that night (inspired by Kylie Jenner of course)

Thank you Netflix! I've been watching the first season

of friends this week on Netflix. I've seen all the episodes

sooo many times but I haven't seen the first two seasons 

not nearly as often as the others. It's so nice to sit down 

for a few minuets watch one episode, while drinking a

cup of coffee or tea.

I've been trying to eat healthier and more fruit.

I find the easiest way to eat a lot of fruit is to

make smoothies. My favorite smoothies are the

ones that have avocado and ginger. For this smoothie I

used an apple, orange, lemon, avocado and a little bit

of ginger.

Thanks for reading!

My favorite makeup brushes (Real Techniques) Part 2 - eyes

Here it is, the second part of my favorite makeup brushes.

Here are all my favorite and best eye-makeup brushes.

Deluxe Crease Brush

This brush is great for highlighting.

I use it to highlight my brow bone and

even to highlight my cheekbones. It's also

good for powdering the under-eye area.

Base Shadow Brush

I looove this brush! It's flat and

a bit pointy so it's really easy to do the crease

and it's almost impossible to screw it up. You

can even use it as a blending brush.

The brush is a base shadow brush  but

it doesn't take as much product as I would expect

a base shadow brush to do.

Shading brush

Like almost all the other brushes,

I don't use them as the name suggests how

I should use them, sooo I use this one for the base.

It takes up a lot a product and therefore is the brush perfect

for setting the base eyeshadow.

Brow Brush

This brush is so good for doing your eyebrows.

It's not too soft and just the perfect shape.

The size of the brush is just right for my eyebrows

so i can do them in no time!

That's it for my favorite makeup brushes,

I hope you liked it!
