You’ll know by now how I switched to using mainly natural beauty products since a couple of years now. Whilst I found it difficult to discover some nice gems that were completely natural and organic in the beginning, with the years I’ve become enthusiast of seeking and testing new natural products and by now I’ve built…

After nearly two years from the last time I went short with my hair, last November I decided I was tired (once again) of my long, shape-less locks and that it was time for me to finally go back to a shorter haircut. I was pondering the idea since the beginning of Summer, but really…

You know if there’s one big brand I love, that is Lush! I’ve been a lover of their natural beauty range for years now, my very first choice when it comes to all things skincare, haircare and bath *art*, of course; I’m also a true believer Lush should open more shops here in Italy, so,…

If there’s one thing I love, is getting pampered! And we all know that already, thanks to the endless list of ‘how to pamper yourself‘ guides I’ve written for this blog… But let’s be honest: there’s a reason why we keep trying to recreate the perfect spa at home, and that is because the most…

It has been several years now that I’m suffering with eczema, which is what has brought me to a very simple and basic skincare in the first place. I have tried so many skincare products in the years that I’ve lost count of how many disappointed me at treating my dry itchy areas, until I decided…

I always begin these “pampering routine” posts like this, but I really am not one that loves to just sit there with face masks on for a couple of hours and do absolutely nothing. Or just feel like I’m wasting my time. That’s why I hardly really find time to pamper myself at all most…

Don’t know about where y’all live, but here in Italy we’re fully experiencing some proper Summer heat! These last few days have been so hot that I barely had the strenghts of moving my body around the house, let alone all things that involved stepping outside or, well, in the kitchen (living hell!). But this…

It has been a couple of years now, since when I decided to cut parabens out of my haircare routine completely. I couldn’t have been happier with the results I’ve been seeing on my hair ever since and now I can barely remember the feeling of sad, flat, dehydrated hair. Yet it hasn’t been all…

It’s been a long while since the last time I dedicated a whole blog post to makeup. It’s probably down to the fact I mainly only wear the boring bits (foundation, concealer and mascara and nothing else!) on a daily basis and rarely step out of my comfort zone or play with eye makeup at all!…

Although I’m coming to love bath time more and more recently (thanks Lush for making me rediscover my bathtub!), I’ve always been a shower kind of gal: no matter how hard I try, I rarely can just lay there and relax, take time for myself without doing anything at all. It just feels a waist…

Check out Why You Should Get Into A Paraben-Free Haircare Routine by Giada at Mode Around this time two years ago I decided I wanted to cut parabens out of my haircare routine completely. And let me say one thing: that’s probably the best thing I could do for my hair apart from stopping using…

I wasn’t even finished with my spooky Halloween bath products that I was invited to join the lovely people at Lush to get to know a few of their new Christmas products. As a lover of the Holiday season and all things festive, as well as being I already a huge fan of a few…

If you ask me which has been my first makeup product ever, I’d surely reply it was a Maybelline one. I remember even my first makeup review blog post was about a Maybelline mascara (and we’re talking of times when this blog didn’t even exist in my own mind!). So when I was invited to celebrate Maybelline’s 100th…

Last week I was invited at Lush to see the very first Italian Lush Kitchen and discover some of the freshest Lush products. Actually, we were lucky enough to see the very first More Than Mortal and Enzynamite being created and packaged (by us!) in Italy. We were invited to discover how Lush freshest products are made, what are…

Soapwalla Deodorant Cream I’ve been on the lookout for a natural deodorant that really works for a while. Some are great in texture and consistency, but doesn’t smell nice, others make my skin feel super soft and smell great, but don’t really last for long. Truth is, finding a natural deodorant that ticks all the boxes…

If in other seasons I’m slightly OK with my flat hair (as much as one can’t be bothered by boring hair), comes summertime and all I’m after is voluminous, undone, wavy and texturized locks. I’ve tried countless beauty products to achieve it, but nothing really works magic on my hair, but there must be a reason why everyone…

With the weather starting to be nicer and warmer, the occasion to go out bare legs start to be more frequent, even for one that wears tights as long as she can. If some of you are as pale as I am, you’ll understand how revolutionary was to me to introduce self tanners in my…

I’ve always been a fan of Lush Christmas ranges and that’s actually the main occasion I think a Lush haul is totally necessary. Besides from their hair products that are staples in my haircare routine, I’ve never really been attracted by their other collections, maybe just because I’m not a huge bath lover and surely…

I bet I’m not the only one who envy some healthy (and not-gross) shine on normal not oily hair! The thing with having a oily scalp is that you have to try and eliminate as much oil as you can to avoid to feel the need of washing your hair twice a day, this means…

My skin was being very itchy and nasty lately over my whole body. It was going on since a long while, months, years, and it seems something chronicle and I couldn’t really see an end to it any time soon. So now I’m making the switch to all natural basic skincare (and haircare too) to…

It doesn’t seem so but it’s been a while since my last hair update! I usually do them when I chop my hair, but this is a different one because I’m keeping my hair this not too annoying mid-length a bit longer and, and I’d never thought I would have ever said this, I’m trying to…

cozy nights in ; You’d have noticed a recurrent theme in my latest posts, but as I was saying in my last update, I am totally in love with cozy nights in now that the weather is chillier. There’s something special about autumn and winter that makes nights in something I am always looking forward to,…

jumping juniper ; During my annual tradition of a Lush trip as soon as the Christmas and Halloween collections are out, I thought it was time to invest in a new natural and organic shampoo and since I’m such a fan of Lush and their products and love to try out new things from their…

new haircut ; You might have noticed from my latest update that my hair is shorter. Yes, I had it chopped… again! I had it chopped back in June and then again last month always the same midi length, but recently I was itching for something different, something new, an even shorter hair style for wintertime when updos are not my…

As much as I love long hair, huge infinite braids and beautiful long curls, I can’t see long hair on me. I’ve already addressed this topic in the past, but as soon as my hair starts to grow a little bit too much over my shoulders I start feeling the need of chopping it all off,…

It doesn’t happen that often that I close the bath door and indulge in some me (and only me) time but recently I’m feeling pretty stressed and bad mood is always around the corner and when my body feels physically tired all I really want is some pamper time. You know when you buy all…

So it’s time for packing and travelling and we all girls like to have plans when it comes to decide what to bring with us, we have essentials that need to come no matter what and always try and sort out a way to keep our makeup and skincare travel bags to the minimal when…

This summer I’m not going anywhere fancy really, but I’m spending a pair of weeks at my boyfriend’s place and this made the perfect excuse for packing and showing what I like to carry with me when I’m travelling. Not that these are all essential for real, I’ve a bit overdone being that I had…

I’m not being a huge makeup girl recently, I only wear makeup once or twice a week and always stick to the same products. I’m not even buying new ones since a while which is a shocking news but true, I just feel I already have everything I need and being that I don’t wear…

I’ve never been a bath kind of girl and even though last winter I started enjoying a relaxing bath now and again, I definitely prefer showers especially in summertime, which are a lot quicker but can be super relaxing as well. Needless to say that I’ve built quite the collection of in-shower products, but these…

I didn’t plan to grow my hair this spring but it was actually pretty long at the beginning of summer this year, which was ok with me until the hot weather hit us a few weeks ago and I just couldn’t stand it. I have thick oily hair which takes ages to dry and is…

Now that the temperatures are rising, my spring skincare routine doesn’t suit my skin anymore. I know some girls always have the same skin type during the whole year, but even if my skin is always combination to oily, when summertime comes it always becomes oilier and I start suffering of eczema and dry patches…

I’m quite a fan of face masks but not a hoarder even though I tried a few during these last few years of being a beauty addicted. I never tried a Lush mask though because they just look too expensive for the quantity of product inside the little jar and for having such a short…

I never wrote about my evening skincare routine as I’m still looking for loyal products to stick to, but something I now am super faithful to is my makeup removing routine which happens only a few times a week when I do actually wear makeup, but which I find to be the perfect one to…

I, as plenty of other women (and maybe men) out there, am suffering of eczema since two or three years now and am everyday looking for some new eczema treatments, tips or suggestions on how to fight it and get rid of it completely. I can’t say I won this fight yet but I do…

So summer is almost here and this means only one thing: it’s time to show those bare limbs of ours and so it’s time for tanning, and if you aren’t between the lucky ones who live next to the beach or who could plan a nice vacation for the next months, I bet you already…

Since when Annabel from Fragmented Splendour came up with the idea of keeping a skincare diary last year, I tried keeping one myself, but to be honest is not that easy as it sounds and I always forgot to keep annotating my skincare routines during the week. This last time though, I took it really seriously as…

Being that sensitive skin’s girl I am and being my skin always so problematic, wherever I go I always feel the need to carry some skincare friends with me in my handbag – I also reserved a little plastic clear bag to store some of them and try to stay organized. They only take a…

You may already know I’m a combination skin girl and having combination skin isn’t as easy as it sounds when it comes to pick up some skincare products as depending on your own skin you may need some hydrating products as well as a few spot treatments. I have a little selection of products that…

You may already know I had considered the purchase of a Tangle Teezer for a really long time and I finally went for it as soon as I saw it live for the first time ever a few months ago. My doubts were lots as I didn’t really know if I’ll ever need something like…

I feel like I had more wrong foundation or concealer shades than the actual right match for my skin, and there’s nothing more annoying than buying a super expensive foundation and getting the wrong shade. I know in USA you can bring your beauty products back to the shop if they don’t work for you,…

Recently I’m all about lightweight foundations and bases as when it comes to makeup I don’t really like anything too heavy going on there, and I have to admit lightweight bases are always been my first choose – I seriously can’t remember an single time I decided to went for a full coverage foundation in…
