Hello readers, or whatever is left from you!
I know i haven't been the best blogger in the world this year but i promise i'll make it up to you. My results finally came out and they are pretty good. However, not that good to keep me in my hometown. I will be moving to another little city in Greece to study to be a kindergarten teacher! For more details and further information about that i'll be posting on August so stay tuned.
I have so many ideas for my home, I'm spending time on the IKEA catalogue, I'm browsing design sites and little shops that take care of old furniture and appliances and make them vintage and fashionable! It is fun, although it would be more fun if we did have a little more money! Mom is optimistic and officially now my interior decorator! She is excited with the whole "Home From the Beginning" project! Not that I blame her, I am too!
All I know is that I gotta buy a washing machine! I have already figured everything else. I have planned for our old fridge smth really cool: there is a shop where you can choose a big collage of everything; from movie stars, singers, models etc. and cover the fridge with that! How cool is that? I already chose Audrey Hepburn so, she will be baking cupcakes with me at my new home.
Here is some inspirational pictures for my house:

 I have been praying for a SMEG refrigerator for the last 3 years. If i stop eating for a few months i can probably afford it.



 warm colors, little lights, pillows and blankets. Who wouldn't lie here with his laptop and warm croissants?
This attic bed is a dream. Yes it is and I know i'll never find a house with smth like that. It's such a shame, really
 I am really into this white IKEA bed which is really cheap given the fact that is gorgeous!!! Can't wait to get that!

 I really hope I didn't bore you with my post! This whole thing is really new to me and I am feeling a bit weird. I am not used to the idea that I'll have to leave home and start a new life from the beginning. It is weird but I'll get used to it. How many of you have done this? How did it feel?
Kisses till next time!

i wanna be where your heart is home

Hello lovely readers,
I prepared a little post for you on the beauty stuff and cosmetics I have been using lately. I will be reviewing some of them too, so that you can have an opinion on something you may want to get for yourselves. It is just that I  am waiting for my results ,which come out tomorrow and i have been so nervous that i wanted something to keep me going!
 garnier deodorant spray: gives you great feeling of freshness and smells amazing! The only thing bothering me is that it is quite pricey! 8/10


clean & clear daily facial wash: oh this is my favorite facial wash big time! it's absolutely my favorite product ever. Not only gives shine free skin all day, it has a wonderful smell and bursting beads for extra freshness! It comes in a very affordable price and it is totally worth it!  10/10


 AIM white naturals toothpaste: who could actually resist in a toothpaste with lemon and mint? It is the best toothpaste i have ever used in my life! The best thing: makes me wanna brush my teeth 4 times a day! 9.5/10

 herbal essences conditioner: great smell, comes in a very big package (extra points for that) and is great for sort of long hair. Makes my hair super easy to comb and that is great cause i got thin hair that break easily.With raspberry and silk extract. perfect for summer days, when hair usually gets thin and chipped.  8.5/10

nivea straight & easy shampoo: i couldn't actually believe that a shampoo could do such thing until i tried it. I instantly called my bff. Perfect for frizzy, unmanageable hair. You just blow dry them and you're ready to go!         10/10
 vaseline cocoa butter: vitalising gel, great for summer and days lying at the beach. Helps get a tan fast and has amazing smell. However it is a bit thick and greasy and you could use it best if you water your hands first. With cocoa butter, brazilian nut and almond oils.  7/10

le petit marseilles hydrating cream:  makes skin smell like creme brulee and hydrates fully. With shea, sweet almond and argan oil. 8/10
dolce & gabanna the one, perfume and body lotion: kind of heavy smell for summer, but it is to die for. Naturally i wouldn't wear it at that time of year but i am completely out of perfumes! It has a rather sexy smell and i wouldn't buy it again once it is finished because i really believe it doesn't suit my personality. As for the lotion, i really think it is a great choice to go for summer nights. Wearing perfume is too much, but the lotion is just great. The smell lingers till the day after and this is absolutely lovely.     7/10

I really do hope that I helped any of you get some ideas for summer products! I think it is a crucial thing once you go on vacation to have all necessary products with you! Speaking of vacation, where are you heading to?Tell me all about it, I wanna hear your ideas! Also, feel free to suggest any products you may have or haven't tried. I am always up for new ones!  Down here, i've put together a summer playlist for you all!

I always had an affinity for Marie Antoinette. I even watched the movie three times in a row and I consider it one of Coppola's masterpieces. There are some photos from the September Vogue shooting and others which i have put together for this inspirational post. I am sorry for not sharing photos of my own but I really needed some time to gather myself up, after these really exhausting exams. Promise I'll update you with my news, plans for summer and lots of pictures. This week, we're baking cupcakes to kill time until my results!
Stay tuned!

be yourself. everybody else is taken

Today it is the National Doughnut Day. That means it is our day! So, me and my bestie got some doughnuts from the local bakery to celebrate!
I also found in the flea market a donut maker in an excellent price so I'm getting it tomorrow!

P.S: please excuse my silly smile. It's just that i got my first contact lenses and for the first time in my life i walked outside without wearing the stupid glasses! I also got a pair of new ones, tres vintage! Can't wait to have them home!
P.S 2: tomorrow (probably) i'm making donuts so, stay tuned for a post!
An excellent weekend is ahead of me: my parents gone for the weekend and my best friend sleeping over! We're gonna get some pizza and...a pot of Ben & Jerry's cheescake ice cream along with a movie!
Hope you have fun too! Kisses everyone!
