My New Statement Necklace

As I may have mentioned before, I'm a sucker for necklaces and especially statement ones. Since I found this store on facebook, I've wanted to buy one of their pieces, because honestly all of them are gorgeous. This one caught my attention, because I like a pop of colour in the summer and orange is so pretty.





I'd say it's quite good quality and I may be ordering one again. I think they deliver to Bulgaria only, but I'm sure such necklaces can be found all around the world.

Puppies & Kittens

First of all, I apologise for the lack of posts lately. Second of all, I decided to make it up to you by making this cuteness bomb.










I want to thank my boyfriend for taking these amazing photos and myself for editing them. I really want to start making more posts again and I'll try my best.

Handmade Jewellery

I love jewellery and have tons of necklaces, earrings and rings. I'm not a big fan of bracelets, just because I find them really uncomfortable to wear and always take them off as soon as I can. Handmade jewellery has always interested me and I have a lot of pieces made by a few talanted people. What I would like to share are three of my favourite handmade necklaces.


I got this one in April (I think) after I saw it on facebook. It was made by a lovely girl from school and I had to buy it because it's my style.


This one was made especially for me and I got it today. I messaged the same girl, because I wanted a colourful statement piece and this is what she came up with. I think it's very pretty and original and I love it.
Here is her facebook page and you can check it out for yourself.


This one has a special place in my heart and is probably the most comfortable to wear. It has three aquamarine stones and was made by my design in a cute little shop. It's the first piece of jewellery made completely for me, it's one of a kind and I love it.

I apologise for the redness of my skin, but I went to the beach yesterday and that's the result.

My Week In Pictures












This is my week in photos. I had some highs and lows, but mostly it was nice and relaxing. I'm not aspiring to be a photographer, nor will I ever be. I don't have a nice camera. I use one I bought 6 years ago - Samsung L100. I increase the quality of the photos a lot by editing them and that's it. I hope you had a good week too!

Enzo.bg, Victoria’s Secret и Rimmel London Ревю



To any international readers, I’m sorry but this post is going to be in Bulgarian only. It’s a review of a Bulgarian cosmetics website. I will be posting more in English, but it didn’t make sense for this to be translated, because it’s going to be quite long.

Преди известно време намерих този български сайт, който предлага козметика на достъпни, даже ниски цени, в сравнение с тези в магазините. Не е нужно да споменавам какво последва.
Първият път, когато направих поръчка от там, беше около началото на 2013г. Бях си харесала един от парфюмите на Бритни Спиърс и цената там беше много по-приемлива. Доставката беше сравнително бърза, парфюмът беше непокътнат и качествен. Друг е въпросът, че този парфюм от повече от година вече не е при мен, понеже го продадох чрез  olx.bg . Просто ми беше омръзнал ароматът му и нямаше смисъл да го държа повече. Парфюмът беше ето този, бих го препоръчала на всеки, който обича сладникави аромати.



Вторият път, когато си поръчах нещо беше през юли месец, 2013 година. Отново отдадох на изкушението да си поръчам аромат, тъй като парфюмите, тоалетните води, спрейовете и т.н. са ми слабост. Този път избрах нещо, което бях използвала преди – тоалетната вода Perceive Dew на Avon. Поръчах я от там отново защото цената беше много по-ниска. Спокойно мога да кажа, че Perceive Dew се нарежда сред най-любимите ми аромати, заедно с Acqua на Roberto Cavalli и Angel на Victoria’s Secret. Ако трябваше да използвам една дума, за да го опиша, тя би била „свеж”. Напомня ми на морето и ме пренася на някой екзотичен остров, заради цитрусовите нотки. Обикновено всякакви цитрусови миризми ме отблъскват моментално, но тази в съчетание с морските и цветни нотки ме привлича и сигурно бих могла да си седя цял ден, миришейки го.  Опаковката е красива – прилича на кристал, както и удобна. Определено е нещо, което бих си купила пак и пак, и пак.



Отново направих поръчка през февруари 2014 година. Приятно се изненадах, когато открих, че са заредили голямо количество от спрейовете на Victoria’s Secret. Напълно обожавам марката и всеки път, като имам възможност, си вземам по нещо дребно от тях. Известни са с разнообразните си аромати (да не говорим за прекрасното бельо), които са перфектния аксесоар към всеки тоалет. Бих казала, че има по нещо за всеки вкус. За съжаление ги няма официално на българския пазар, но стига да има желание, лесно може да се намери начин да се сдобиеш с нещо тяхно. Спреят, който си поръчах беше Secret Charm от Fantasies колекцията им. Първото нещо, което ми прави впечатление в него е колко лек и ненатрапчив е, за разлика от другите два, които имам – Love Spell и Pure Seduction, които миришат като нещо, което искаш да изядеш. Secret Charm също мирише доста морско според мен и бързо се превърна в нещо, което използвам всеки ден. Хубавото е, че въпреки че не са кой знае колко дълготрайни, тези спрейове се продават в шишенца от 250ml, което стига за доста дълъг период от време, дори да се пръскаш по няколко пъти на ден с него.



Другото нещо, което си взех с тази поръчка беше коректорът Hide The Blemish на Rimmel London, който е един от любимите ми коректори и съм преполовила вече втора опаковка от него. Предлага се под формата на стик и има доста гъста консистенция. Намирам го идеален за прикриване на малки пъпки и петънца, но не го използвам под очите. Също е продукт, който (очевидно) бих си купила пак.



Последната засега поръчка, която направих беше в началото на този месец и вече веднъж писах за нея (ето тук). Тогава не бях в състояние да направя ревю на продуктите, тъй като все още не ги бях използвала, но вече мога да споделя моите впечатления.

Едно от нещата, към които съм пристрастена, е червилото. Не някое специфично, а червила като цяло. Просто обожавам да изпробвам нови цветове и нюанси. Марката, на която може би най-много се доверявам що се отнася до червила, е Rimmel London. Не е имало случай досега, когато да са ме разочаровали. Понеже съм фен на матовия финиш, се насочих към такъв продукт. Харесах си номер 16 от пролетната колекция на Kate Moss, което е доста ярко, но ненаситено коралово. Много обичам ярки червила и се радвам, че подхождат на кожата ми имам възможността и желанието да експериментирам с тях. Това червило е нещо, което бих носила през ежедневието си. Сравнително дълготрайно е и не изсушава устните прекалено много.



Нуждаех се от пудра, тъй като тази, която имах беше почти свършила, а и не си съответстваше с кожата ми (използвах я като сух шампоан, don’t judge). Реших да изпробвам Stay Matte на Rimmel London, защото бях слушала толкова много хвалби от Таня Бър за нея. Сега разбирам защо. Определено е най-добрата пудра, която съм ползвала досега. Цветът, който имам е 003 Peach Glow.



Последното нещо, което поръчах, беше водоустойчивата пудра на Rimmel Natural Bronzer в цвят 026 Sun Kissed. Притеснявах се, че цветът ще се окаже твърде тъмен за бледата ми кожа, но явно е било напразно. При нанасянето й с правилната четка и доброто блендиране се получава перфектният бронзиращ ефект, който търсех. Пудрата не е напълно матова, има леки блестящи частици, което винаги харесвам в бронзанти. Според мен е идеална за лятото, особено ако имате лек естествен загар, за разлика от мен.



Освен това, добавих към поръчката си няколко мострички от парфюми на Victoria’s Secret, от които Bombshell се оказа любимата ми. Мирише леко плодово и доста свежо. Бих си купила парфюма в бъдеще.

Като цяло, ако не си е проличало досега, мога с лекота да кажа, че съм доволна от enzo.bg. Качеството на продуктите е добро, отношението към клиентите  - коректно, доставката – бърза. Определено бих пазарувала от там и занапред. С удоволствие бих се възползвала от някоя промоция, а такива те правят често, като например безплатна доставка, 2 на цената на 1 и като цяло намаления.


Ако сте стигнали до тук, значи е време да Ви пренасоча към сайта, за да видите за какво става въпрос и може би дори да си поръчате нещо. Бих се радвала да чуя други мнения, както за enzo, така и за Rimmel и Victoria’s Secret.

All Green Salad With Curry Chicken (Recipe)

As I have mentioned before, one of my favourite things to eat and prepare is a salad. There are so many options to choose from and I love eating fresh ingredients. You can hardly go wrong when making a salad and it's the best way to experiment in the kitchen.
The salad I prepared today was very green. Green is my favourite colour and weirdly, I find green vegetables the best and most trustworthy, unlike little kids (I still consider myself a kid too).

The ingredients I used are:

  1. 4-5 lettuce leaves (you can add or take, depending on the amount you want to eat)
  2. A quarter of an avocado
  3. Half a fresh green pepper
  4. About 1/5 of a cucumber
  5. Quarter of a baked chicken breast
  6. Red curry paste
  7. A tiny amount of French dressing
  8. Himalayan salt
  9. Olive oil
I baked the chicken in the oven first, sprinkled with some seasoning (honestly don't know any names of the ingredients I used) and I put some curry on it when it was ready.
Then I chopped the lettuce, pepper, avocado and cucumber, put them in a bowl and seasoned them too. After that I added the chicken and voila. Simple as that.
The red curry might not be to everyone's taste as it's quite spicy, but I'm a sucker for spicy food, so I love it.




I eat a salad almost every day and try to change it up every once in a while to taste new things. I'd love to hear about your favourite salads and even meals!

OOTD: Job Interview & A Walk In The Green

I had a job interview today for a spot I'm really hoping I'll get. Basically, it's one of the things I've been hoping to do when I grow up. I will post details if I get hired.
After the interview, I had an ice tea and went for a walk with my mom. The weather was perfect for that - it wasn't too hot.
Here's how I looked while doing that.



Shirt: Pull&Bear
Skirt: H&M
Shoes: H&M (I am aware that my feet look tiny)
Bag: The Internet haha it's a Hermes knock off if you couldn't tell


I love this necklace, but I've had it for a long time and I'm not sure where I got it from. It must have been H&M.


Here's a closer look at my bag and watch, which again, don't know where I bought from. The colour on my nails is Lovie Dovie by Essie.

Today's Breakfast

I finally couldn't stand how unhealthy I had become (literally could not stand, because my body kind of gave up), so I decided to make a change in my life, starting from my diet. By diet, I don't mean trying to lose weight, because I am perfectly fine with mine. I mean just taking more notice of the things I eat.
I know I can't switch from eating crisps, pizza and fried chicken to fruit and salads in a day, so I'm making it a more gradual change, replacing the things I used to eat with healthy alternatives one by one. 
Starting from my breakfast today. I made myself a mix of probiotic yogurt with fruit cereal, chia seeds (I love them), cherries, half a kiwi and half a banana. I usually have a hard time eating fruit, because I get sick when eating most of it, especially bananas, but when it's combined with other things it's not that bad. I'm just trying to make healthy meals that suit my taste. I don't know that much about fitness and health, but I know how my body responds to eating certain foods and that's what guides me.

Mini Rimmel London Haul

As you may have guessed by now, Rimmel London is one of my favourite (if not my favourite) drugstore make-up brands. I recently went on enzo.bg and couldn't help but order a few things. I have ordered things from the website before and I would definitely recommend it, because the prices are way lower than in stores. I don't know if it's for Bulgarian citizens only, but it might be. Anyway, my order got delivered yesterday and here's what I got:


The first thing I had wanted for a long time, because I ran out of powder anyway and it's Tanya Burr's favourite one and I trust her. I got the Stay Matte Powder in the shade 003 Peach Glow. I'd say it matches my skin tone pretty well, but I haven't tried it out yet.


Next, I bought the Natural Bronzer in 026 Sun Kissed, which is actually a quite dark and orange colour, but it's summer and when you blend it well it looks great. It has got a bit of a shimmer in it, which I look for in a bronzing powder.


Last was an impusle buy, but you never have enough lipstick if you ask me. I love Rimmel lipstick, so I got one from the Kate Moss Spring collection. It's 16, which is a bright light coral shade and if you apply a small amount of it, it looks pretty natural.


I couldn't help but order a few Victoria's Secret perfume samples too, but I'm a sucker for Victoria's Secret, so that's no surprise. 
In conclusion, I'm happy with my purchase and would recommend both the brand and website to everyone.

Hair Colour History

If you know me, you'd know that I change the colour of my hair quite often. I'm not afraid to take a risk and sometimes it pays off. Other times... well.

Anyway, my natural hair colour is a dark ashy brown as you can see below. (Excuse my 14-year-old self, I didn't know how to take selfies back then)



I first dyed my hair in June 2010 and it was pretty much a disaster. It went bright orange and I had to dye it again the following day. Here's how it looked like.


I was 15, so not really adequate yet.

Then, I got bored with it and wanted to go back to my natural colour, so I dyed it again. This time, it turned out almost black.


Obviously, I still didn't know quite what I was doing.

After that, I think the dye gradually washed out and I cut it pretty short for me. That was around the spring of 2011.


Then, either towards the end of 2011 or in the beginning of 2012, I coloured it with henna for the first time. It turned out dark red, which I loved.


In the summer of 2012, my hair had grown a lot and the orange dye had surfaced (it will never leave me)


It looks different in different lighting. 


I think in the fall of 2012 I had ombre for the first time, but it was nothing spectacular. Also, I had cut it again and the length was not to my taste. I made it ombre again in the spring of 2013.


Obviously, it was very dramatic.

In the summer of 2013, of course, I got tired of it and dyed it some weird light brown colour. I can't remember if I did it myself, but I must have. Looking back at it, I don't really like it.


In September 2013, I wanted to go back to my natural colour, so what do you think I did? At first, it was really dark, almost black, but then it washed out and it was okay. So here's how it looked.


It lasted a very long time (for me), but I changed it in January 2014.

I took a huge risk and got blonde highlights. it actually looked amazing, but they didn't cover my roots.


I dyed it again the following day and I hated it at first, but when I look at it now, I would go back to that colour again.


The last time I dyed it was in April 2014 and again, I wanted to go back to my natural hair colour. I used the same dye I had used in September 2013, because I knew it works for me - Garnier Color Sensation in 4.0

I am planning to dye my hair again, I'm just not certain on a date yet. I want to give my hair a rest for a little while, but I'm not sure I'm gonna go the whole Summer with this hair colour. I will make a post, when it happens.
