Kissable Lips

On Sundays basically I'm all lazy and not really exited to leave home, so it's the opportunity to take care of myself and call it a day. Here a really easy way to have super-soft lips in 10 minutes. Make it a date night.

Ingredients

• 1 Tbsp white sugar
• 1 Tsp raw cacao powder
• 1 Tbsp raw honey

Mix ingredients, then apply a thin layer on the lips and let sit for 10 minutes. Scrub away for kissable lips.

Love,

SPRING IS COMING; TO OUR LEGS

It's the best time of the year, its not too hot, its not cold. There is sunshine, school is almost over and I don't have to wear bunch of clothing... While we take off all that clothing; our legs come out and probably we should work on them a lil bit more... Here some tips to check before wearing shorts and dresses.



Step 1: Exfoliate

There are tons of products out there such as; coffee scrub, peeling products or dry brushing... 


Step 2: Get rid of the hair

I would prefer waxing; but it whatever you choose. I personally hate shaving.

Step 3: Faux Glow

St. Tropez products are good. I also used Dior Bronze Auto-Bronzant.  

Step 4: Pedicure

I normally prefer dark colors (like my nails but even more). Normally I have every day maroon on my toe nails.

Step 5: Work out

25 squats
10 lunges per leg
30 calf raises
30 second wall sit

My Fave Lippies

I got an email that asking my favorite lip essentials so here they're...

Lots of time I actually forget or feel lazy to put stuff on to my lips but only lip balms... My faves are EOS, vaseline, VS Plump, and Body Shop Born Lippy Framboise. 

Lip glosses are my second option for casual days because they're easy to use and I don't have to refresh it every half hour. I have two shades of Sally Hansen Lip Inflation Extreme, they're really good and make my lips plump, i don't really have big lips, but I don't like that they're sticky... Also I have one Lancome 306, i love the color.

My real favorites by color are the lipsticks but I'm not good at those, cus as I said before I forgot to refresh them or I just get lazy and don't use them. Still I try to use when I go out more than casual... I like only dark shades of red and maroon. Max Factor 820, Chanel 62, 17, 75, Clarins 106, Sally Hansen Rococo. I have one also one pink shade by Shiseido that my fave lately that I actually start to use everyday especially at work. Its 327. 

Ask me anything you wanna know and I'll answer asap.

Starting Again

Unfortunately for last 2-3 weeks, I was not really motivated and was going to gym only once or twice per week. I ate some bad food and drink some alcohol but still keep my weight... At least I didn't gain any.

Then I went to running, do cold water therapy, put lotion on and drinking a fit tea. My first goal date is 2 weeks from today 6th of June as my graduation date -also 1st year anniversary with dom-. As a before picture I took one after gym.

Full Coverage Makeup Before and After

I usually just use eyeliner, blush and mascara for makeup and its my everyday makeup. I never have bad skin so never learn how to really use face coverage as foundation, concealer etc... Today I try a little full coverage makeup and my before after pictures kind of make me sad. I have black under eyes and look few ages younger... Still I don't care really so I can share. I wash my face every time before doing makeup. To do makeup on clean face is easier, healthier also it'll look better. Also this time I use primer.

HEALTHIEST FOODS -and also yummy

Diet is really important for our skin, our body, our mind so basically for health and beauty. They say health is 70% how you eat and 30% exercising. Unfortunately, there are so heavenly amazing foods that we cannot say no as brownies, fries etc... Good thing is there are a lot of healthy and delicious food too. Ima give you some of these really good foods and also some recipes to use them. You're welcome.

Kiwi: Kiwi is high in nutrients and low in calories.  Also consuming kiwis have health benefits like healthy skin tone and texture, reducing blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and cancer.Many studies have shown that increased consumption of plant foods like kiwis decreases the risk of obesity and overall mortality.Collagen, the skins support system, is reliant on vitamin C as an essential nutrient that works in our bodies as an antioxidant to help prevent damage caused by the sun, pollution and smoke, smooth wrinkles and improve overall skin texture. The fibers that kiwis have make you feel full, so they're amazing snacks that can help to lose weight.

Green Tea: All of the teas are my fave. Green tea is one of them. Teas are really good for your skin, to lose weight and make you feel warm :) Green tea contains various bioactive compounds that can improve health. Compounds in green tea can improve brain function and make you smarter. Green tea increases fat. Burning and improves physical performance. Green tea can help you lose weight and lower your risk of becoming obese. Given that green tea can boost the metabolic rate in the short term, it makes sense that it could help you lose weight. Several studies show that green tea leads to decreases in body fat, especially in the abdominal area. Antioxidants in green tea may lower your risk of various types of cancer. Green tea may protect your brain in old age, lowering your risk of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Green tea can kill bacteria, which improves dental health and lowers your risk of infection.  Don't drink more than 3 cups a day and if it don't taste good enough add some honey or lemon.

Yogurt: Yogurt can give you flat abs. Eat 18 ounces a day and you can drop a jeans size. Most brands of yogurt contain good-for-you bacteria. Yogurt is loaded with vitamins. A cup of yogurt a day can help you recover faster after a workout. Yogurt may prevent high blood pressure. A daily serving of yogurt keeps colds away. Yogurt is a high-protein food. Yogurt May Help You Feel Fuller. You can add fresh berries or honey to make it taste awesome.

Broccoli: Okay I know this is not really most delicious food or even taste good but I have some good recipes lower to make it good and broccoli have a lot of health benefits. It contains tons of vitamins, minerals, potassium, calcium, etc... Broccoli stands out as the most concentrated source of vitamin C also its a powerful antioxidant nutrient. Broccoli is a good carb and is high in fiber, which aids in digestion, prevents constipation, maintains low blood sugar so it helps you to lose weight. Broccoli contains high levels of both calcium and vitamin K, both of which are important for bone health. Like many whole foods, broccoli is packed with soluble fiber that draws cholesterol out of your body. Even if its not the yummiest food, its one food that everyone should have in their diet with this much benefits.

Apple: Oh apples are already so tasty and also have a lot of benefits yay. It helps you to have whiter and healthier teeth. A new study performed on mice, shows that drinking apple juice could keep Alzheimer's and Parkinson's away and fight the effects of aging on the brain. Decrease your risk of diabetes and reduce cholesterol. Its detoxifies your liver from toxins. Boost your immune system. I love to eat apple and I have a really easy tip that make them even taste better. I shred apple and then put cinnamon on it, it an awesome dessert in low calories.
