My beauty routine (morning and night)

Since holidays have started I have so much time to spend on myself. With that in mind I decided to change up a little bit my morning and night routine (it is still pretty simple). As I wake up I usually spend a few minutes on my phone while I'm still in bed. Then I go to the bathroom and wash up my face. For the past few weeks I have been using Clarins wake-up booster. I just put around 4 or 5 drops on my hand and apply it with circular motions.

I wait a around 10 seconds to dry and apply Collistar hydro-gel cream also with circular motions. Does it do anything to my face I still don't know, it is in a testing phase. But I have to say that a cream is the best one I have tried. It has like a layer that stays all day on my skin and I can feel it, and hydrates my face. So I would definitely recommend it to anyone who hasn't find jet a perfect hydrating day or night cream.

I apply it every morning and evening but in the evenings I use it after Nuxe toning lotion which cleans my skin perfectly!

Have a nice day!

New Year resolutions

New year just started so it is time for a change. I usually never do New years resolutions but this year I decided to take a leap. I've seen a lot od people talking about it as it is not really going to happen. I find that so demotivating so I am going to share my resolutions with you to maybe make you see that it is possible to stick with them if we are willing to. I'm thinking of giving you upadates every once in a while, maybe some tips how to approach them or so. So let's continue with my resolutions!

- work out more (I already signed it to a gym)
- half an hour a day to spend on myself (spa night, blog time, etc.)
- study frequently (every day in the same time)
- drink more water
- eat healthier (not 100% healthy, just healthier)

My top 5 drugstore lip liners

As the fall/winter time arrives I like to switch up my makeup a little bit. I don do eye shadows (jet) because they have never been my thing (lately I have been more interested in them but not to the point I would wear them to school or so), so my main thing is lips. I just love love love lip liners because they are so pigmented and so long lasting. And I think there are so many good ones in drugstores for just a few bucks. So here are my top five!

The first one I have to mention is Maybelline color drama lip crayons. I have two of them in 520 light it up and 630 nude perfection. They are so pigmented and so easy to put on (the creamiest lip pencils I have ever tried).  maybelline

Than we have essence. Oh my god, their lip liners are perfection jet so cheap!!! Color pay off is amazing and on me they last for at least 5 hours just as perfect as I pet them on (this long lasting wears 6 to 7 hours). I have here long lasting lipliner in 08 girl next door and it is a perfect nude for me. You can wear it to school/work, for a dinner date or night out.. essence

I also had to include their regular wooden lip liners. They have a new collection of those and I'm not a huge fan of the new ones. They feel a little bit harsh while applying. The old ones have a silver top and the new ones are all in one color. This one is in  05 soft berry... essence

and this one in 06 satin mauve. I should probably go to pick up a new one because this one is almost to small to sharpen.

The last one is from iQ cosmetics in the shade rosery. It is also lasts for a long time and it is really pigmented. I love this shade of red.

Here are all the swatches. From nudes to red: essence 08 girl next door, 06 satin mauve, 05 soft berry, maybelline 520 light it up, iQ cosmetics rosery.

Have a lovely day! :*

Newly discovered store 'BUTLERS'

The other day I went to Zagreb for British uni consultation with my friend. We had some free time so is there any better way of spending it than shopping. No! As per usual there was no Christmas stuff in stores yet. So after a while (2 hours or so) I saw one cute little shop with a window full of Christmas goodies. I just HAD TO come in! It was haven!! My friend was like 'Common get out, I'm tired!' (so was I) but all of that redness gave me some sort of a special energy. It was so small and cozy..until we discovered the stairs (lol). Three floors full of perfection. 

 On every wall there was at least a quote or two, music was so calming and relaxing (the most original kind of music I've heard in a while) the only thing that was missing was a glass of wine or a cup of hot cocoa. Even my friend felt in love with this place.

 It may look as an ordinary shop but you have to come in if you find yourself in Ilica 21 in Zagreb. They have shops all over Europe: Spain, France, UK, Greece, Hungary, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Ukraine and more.

We were rushing through the city the whole time but once we've came in we had a feel like time slowed up a lot. If you need some house decor or furniture I definitely recommend this place!

How to organize your time (+printable weekly planner)

Organizing your student days is one of the most important factors of good grades. I used to always suck at planning my day, week or month, but with years I found some tricks that helped me.

-Firstly decide what subjects are you going to study that day and general things you have to do in a day. Write them down.

-Write exactly what you have to do about that subject/thing in a day (for example: history-read page 26-78, write a few short lines about it + do a revision of 1st lesson)

 -Choose a few of the lines as a priority.

-Start adding the time to every line (starting time and the time you will end) . Be realistic and dedicate a right amount of time to priority lines.

-Add time to other lines to

When you have wrote the certain time stick to it. Do not overload your day, as I said be realistic.

Here is a weekly planner I made for printing, so if you would like to use it just click below.

Tips for studying! (How to)

Of course I am not an expert, but I have been there so many times so I suppose I have learned something out of it.

The 1st tip I have is MOTIVATION:
Ask yourself why are you doing this, what will lead after an 'A'... (my answers: to make my future brighter, after an 'A' there will be another one and another one, and I will get in a really good university -and I will be able to choose in whatever uni I want to go- and hopefully I will eventually get a job that I love and make sufficient amount of money I'll need or even more, and I will be forever proud of my accomplishments).
You should always remember those things when your struggling.

The 2nd tip is to GET COMFORTABLE or NOT:
Try to get all comfy and warm (in bed or sofa or something like that) and try to learn for a half an hour. When you're done put your shoes on (not joking) and sit on your table (in your room or if it is too distracting in your dinning room), put your notes in front of you and all the pens you need and a glass of water or something and try and learn for a half an hour.
When you are done, compare the amount of learned. This way you will see which way is the best for you. (for me the second option works the best)
So now you know where to study!

The 3rd tip is to SET A TIME:
Set a certain time in a day for studying, and follow it. And that is it. It will be hard for the first week of two but once you have got the routine you will learn way easier. (hope so)



These were my studying tips which work for me really well and I hope they will work for you just as well. They maybe won't work for everyone but if you have something else please feel free to share it in a comment section!
