Cranberry Coconut Granola

…and a healthy breakfast idea! Breakfast is probably my favourite meal of the day. I rarely leave the house without eating something and drinking coffee. If I’m in a hurry and don’t have time for a proper breakfast, I’m usually cranky until I have time to at least drink a cup of coffee. Plus most of my favourite foods are ˝breakfast foods˝. Cereal, granola, cottage cheese, toast, omelette…with the exception of avocado and green smoothies. You can’t love them all :). Well, I decided to make granola again, as I haven’t made it in ages! And I also made a travel version of cottage cheese and granola for busy days. But first, here is the granola recipe:

No-bake chocolate mousse cake

It looks and feels like summer is officially over on this cold Monday morning. Time to wrap in that cozy blanket with a cup of hot cocoa! And since we’re talking about hot cocoa, I have to share a new chocolate cake recipe. It’s just what you need when you don’t have a lot of time to bake something but you want to make something that looks and tastes great.

The beautiful Rovinj

Ever since I was a little kid, I’ve loved to visit Croatia in the summer. I love the islands with the clearest water, I love the seaside towns, I love the beautiful nature. This year, I decided to go on a longer vacation than usual. I’ve spend almost two weeks (yeah I know it’s not that long, but for a girl that hasn’t spent more than 5 days at the seaside for the last 10 years, it is) in a camp in Istria, near Novigrad. But I can’t be at one place for too long, I decided to go on a one day trip to a lovely town by the coast, I’ve wanted to visit for a while – Rovinj.

AZ Lanzarote collection and dreams of summer

What are the little things that make you dream about summer? Is it the scent of sunscreen and pine trees? The feeling of salt on your skin? The sound of waves or the song that reminds you of the first time you went to the seaside with your friends? Wind messing with your hair? Or is it your favourite summer dress or pair of bikinis? Maybe it’s just a pattern or a colour that reminds you of summer?

Balea and hair removal

I have always liked dm drogerie markt‘s brand Balea. It’s affordable (actually quite cheap) and also cruelty-free (that always makes me happy:)). And mostly quite good. Just like with any cosmetic brand with low prices, there are great stuff and there are not so great stuff. At least that is my opinion and I noticed this with almost every brand that makes me say: This is so cheap, I better take two! For example, I love eyeliners, nail polishes and lip liners by Essence Cosmetics, foundations, primers, powders and eyebrow shades by Catrice Cosmetics … and I have learned what fits me through years of trying out different make up. I was immediately attracted to Balea because of – PRICES! 😀

Review: my favourite eyeliner

Putting on eyeliner always reminds me of memes like this one. Seems as making a pretty line above your eye with an eyeliner is rocket science. I had so many problems when I started – should the line be defined, or should I blur it out, should it be thick or thin, should the tail be long or short? But honestly, we are finding problems where there are none. You have to get used to everything, and just like with figuring out how to draw your eyebrows, contour your face or even put on mascara without ruining your eye shadow, it takes some practice. You have to find out which shapes fit your eyes and face, which brush is the right for you, even what colour is the one for you. I found my perfect eyeliner at the stand with Essence cosmetics.

Happy Pancake Day 2017

I always forget about Pancake day and find out on which day it is when it is already here. So today I have a quick and simple recipe for everyone who want to celebrate Pancake day with…pancakes! And I added some of the most mouth-watering photos of pancakes to make you think about all possible variations and combinations.

REVIEW: Purifying mask by Lavera

One of my biggest beauty sins is that I don’t use facial masks regularly. I’m a lazy ass. More or less, I have a stable morning and night beauty routine: I always use day and night creme, always remove my makeup with cleansing milk, use a serum, an eye-cream … and so on. But I often forget about the mask. I always want to use it before I wash my hair but after a busy day, I remember my plans when I am already out of the bath. Since I want to be kinder to my skin, I decided to try out some facial masks and make it a habit. First, here is a purifying mask by Lavera – a brand that sells natural cosmetics, it doesn’t test on animals and offers vegan cosmetics. I actually started of pretty good:) Why?

OOTD: Comfortable pastels

This week has been the sunniest and warmest in a while, it finally fells like the spring is near. I’m a different person when it’s sunny, I have so much more energy and I smile even more. Spring also inspired this pastel-coloured outfit. It’s a combination of colours I often wear – black + pastels or neutrals and I probably feel the most comfortable in (and my Instagram seems to be full of pastels lately too :D). To make it a bit more special, I added finger-less unique felt gloves. Aren’t they the cutest?:)

How to cover up a hickey

This one seemed appropriate for the day after Valentines, when we usually take some more time to spend it with our SO. It’s still covers a problem we have to face it maybe a few times a year and it’s harder in the summer, when you can’t wear a scarf or a turtleneck. They are ways to speed up the healing process but what to do when you don’t have time and you want to cover that love bite/hickey fast? Here, make up is your best friend. And also chokers – this trend has more pros than just looking good. So you woke up with a hickey – what to do now?
