OOTD+FOTD: Friday Evening fun

$

0
Here's my outfit from Friday evening. Me and my boyfriend went to our countryside since on Saturday (or today :D) we're celebrating my grandma's 89th birthday! 

Minu reedeõhtune riietus on teie ees. Sõitsime Joeliga kahekesi juba reedel maale ning täna ehk laupäeval tähistame minu vanaema 89. sünnipäeva!



Skirt: House
Blouse: Asos
I wore the same black sandals I always do (: 

I received a very generous package from Avon and this time in addition to a lot of skincare there were a bunch of cosmetics. I wanted to test them all out so I put together a makeup look from them. I ditched any base products because firstly I'm testing out a moisturizer and secondly I just felt like being bare faced in that sense (:. The only Avon product that I already had is the mascara which you might recognize. 

Sain Avonilt väga mõnusa paki, kus lisaks kehahooldustoodetele oli seekord ka üsna palju kosmeetikat. Tahtsin neid tooteid korraga testida ning otsustasingi neist ka FOTD postituse teha. Ripsmetušš oli mul juba varasemast olemas, kuid muud Avoni tooted on nüüd uued. Lisaks ei kasutanud ma seekord mitte ühtegi meigipõhja toodet, isegi peitekreemi ei vaevunud võtma, et üks kärnake ära peita.

 Products used:
NYX Eyebrow Cake Powder (Taupe/Ash)
Too Faced Shadow Insurance
Avon Colortrend Eyeshadow Pencil (Roaring Blue)
Avon Cosmic Eyeshadow (Midnight Sky)
Avon Colortrend Liquid Eye-Liner (Zebra Black)
Avon Infinitize Mascara
Avon Colortrend Lipstick (Lioness)
Avon Glazewear Vitaluscious Lip Gloss (Vita-Pink)

What are your plans for the weekend?

Review: MAC Prep+Prime Skin Smoother Base Visage

$
0

Not too long ago I purchased myself a MAC Skin Smoother. I had a client come in in an hour and I didn't have any primers so I had to get one fast. Usually I research beauty products I need to buy very thoroughly. This time I just ran to MAC, asked the sales girl to recommend me something and ran out with this baby. You'll find my first impressions video at the end of this post and beware, I'm really pale there as it's filmed a month ago when my skin hadn't seen any sun. :D 

Mõnda aega taasi soetasin endale MAC Prep + Prime Skin Smoother'i. Praimerid olid kõik otsas ja järgmise kliendini oli tunnike aega - piisav, et MACi letist läbi hüpata. Enamasti uurin erinevate toodete kohta, mida mul vaja/plaanis osta, üsna põhjalikult. Seekord jooksin (sõna otseses mõttes) poodi, palusin konsultandil endale midagi soovitada ning jooksin välja. Postituse lõpust leiate ka minu esmamulje sellest tootest. Olge valmis kahvatuks näoks - video on filmitud pea kuu tagasi ja olen vahepeal jumekamaks saanud. :D

Unlike usual MAC products this one comes in a glossy black compact that has little specs of glitter. The compact looks just like a powder one so for a primer it is a bit unusual. I like the look of the product in the package but it's really very unhygienic. You get no sponge or any other applicator in the compact so you're basically left with your fingers. That are not always clean. So bacteria gets into the package easily. As this one is meant for my clients I never put my fingers in it, even if I have just washed and disinfected them. Instead I use my stainless steel spatula to get the product out of the compact. 

Erinevalt enamikest MACi pakenditest, on sellel tootel läikiv sädelevate tükikestega pakend. Praimeri jaoks üsna ebatavaline pakend, kuna enamjaolt on need näiteks tuubides. Hea näeb välja, kuid on väga heaks pesaks bakteritele. Mina ei saa endale lubada näppudega toote katsumist, seega kasutan roostevabast terasest spaatlit, kuna tegu on tootega, mida kasutan klientide peal. 

It's a very silky feeling product. Most primers feel a bit dryer whereas this one is more silky and creamy feeling. But it still feels velvety, it's just not like any other primer I have encountered. When applied to the skin it fills pores and small wrinkles so as the name suggests it smoothes the skin. It evens the skin tone and mattifies the skin.  It's amazing on dry (when moisturized) and normal skin but might get a bit oily with oily skin. I didn't want to apply it too heavily on my skin so I felt the need to actually set my makeup later on.

Toode on väga siidine, veidi rohkem geeljas kui teised praimerid millega olen kokku puutunud. Enamik  on katsudes justkui pigem puudrised. Kõik poorid ja pisemad kortsud ning nahavaod saavad täidetud ning naha pind jääb sile ja matt. Kergelt ühtlustab see ka nahatooni. Kuiva ning normaalse naha jaoks on see ideaalne, rasuse naha jaoks võib jääda pisut lahjaks just selles mõttes, et terve päeva täiesti matina see nägu minul ei hoia.  



What primers have you used? Which one is your favorite?
Kas ja milliseid praimereid olete kasutanud? Milline on lemmik olnud?

Review: Lirene DermoProgram Micellar Solution 3in1

$

Micellar waters are the "it" product in skincare at the moment. They're the new black, the new water etc. The point of these is that a micellar solution cleanses the skin more gently than other products. Several companies have launched their own versions of it and recently I received a Lirene Micellar Solution to try out. I've used a Caudalie micellar water before and loved it so I was eager to try this one out. It is a 3 in 1 product: eye&face cleanser, makeup remover, moisturizing toner. Since my current makeup remover is almost empty I was excited to see how the Lirene product performs. It cleanses the face well and removes about 95% of my makeup. It doesn't feel drying at all and doesn't really leave a sticky residue on my face afterwards. The first time I tried it I had darker blue eyeshadow and some black eyeliner on. It left the area around my eyes a bit blue but everything else came off beautifully. D-panthenol and honey extract in it help moisturize the skin and vitamin C helps regenerate and brighten the skin. After a little research the only "bad" ingredient in it is parfum. So far I really like the product and it has found a place of it's own in my skincare routine. Have you tried any micellar waters? 

Mitsellaarveed on praegu üks populaarsemaid tooteid nahahoolduses. Mitmetel brändidel on nüüdseks juba oma mitsellaarvesi välja tulnud, muuhulkas ka Lirenel. Saingi endale proovimiseks Lirene mitsellaarvee. Lirene väitel on tegu 3in1 tüüpi tootega. See on üheaegselt näopuhastusvedelik, meigieemaldi ning niisutav toonik. Kuna mu praegune meigieemaldaja on peaaegu tühi, olin väga põnevil selle proovimisest. Nägu puhastab see hästi ja umbes 95% meigist saab samuti eemaldatud. Esimesel katsel oli mul peal tumedam erksinine lauvärv ning paks must lainerijoon, sellest kompotist jäid silmade ümber väga heledad sinakad laigud. See toode ei kuivata nahka ega jäta ka kleepuvat kihti, vähemalt mitte minu nahale. D-pantenool ning mee-ekstrakt aitavad nahka niisutada ning C-vitamiin taastavad ja värskendavad nahka. Pärast väikest uurimist leidsin, et ainsad "halvad" koostisained tunduvad olevat lõhnaained. Seni mulle see toode meeldib ja sellel on oma kindel koht minu näohoolduses. Kas olete mitsellaarvett varem proovinud?

Taking your requests

$

Hey everyone! Right now I thought that the original reason why I started doing YouTube videos was to recreate different makeup looks, practice and develop my skills. But lately I've been feeling a bit uninspired in that department, so you may have noticed that there haven't really been that many makeup tutorials. So here's my idea: If you have any awesome makeup looks you'd like me to recreate (or try at least) then leave a link in the comments. And let's make other people's lives easier, leave it in such form: 
<a href="your link here">your link here</a> (everything in bold has to be written this way)

This way it'll be a clickable link and we can all go and have a look. If it seems too difficult, then just leave a url (: Then I'll start recording next week. You may also say how you like my tutorials, do you like me to talk while filming, do you like them with just music and text or do you prefer voiceovers? Let me know! (: Also if you have any other requests (for either blog posts or videos) then you can leave them below!

Hei hei! Kui ma kunagi alustasin YouTube'i videote tegemist, oli see põhiliselt selleks, et erinevaid meike järele proovida, kätt harjutada ja oma oskusi arendada. Viimasel ajal olen aga selles osas kuidgai hätta jäänud ja inspiratsiooni napib. Nii pöördungi teie poole! Kui teil on mõni lahe meik, mida tahaksite, et (prooviksin) järele teeksin, siis jätke kommentaaridesse pildi link. Eelistatavalt tehke seda sellisel kujul, nagu üleval on. Nii on tegu aktiivse lingiga ja kõigil on elu lihtsam. Kui see aga liialt keeruline tundub, siis las olla, pange niisama link (: Võite mainida ka millised õpetused teile kõige rohkem meeldivad. Kas sellised, kus räägin tegemise ajal, sellised, kus on muusika ja tekst või sellised, millele räägin peale? Andke teada! Ja loomulikult kui teil on mõni muu postituse või videosoov, siis võite needki kommentaaridesse jätta!

Review: Sleek Blush by 3 in Pumpkin

$

I got the Sleek Blush by 3 palette for my birthday but discovered the pictures form my blog pictures folder a few days ago. This is my first Sleek blush palette but I love it so much! From the Contouring Kit from Sleek I knew I can only expect super good pigmentation and I wasn't disappointed. The packaging is black and sleek as the name implies. It's smaller than I expected but that doesn't bother me at all. It comes with 20g of product.

Sain sünnipäevaks Sleek Blush by 3 põsepuna paleti kuid mulle meenus alles nüüd, et pildid ootavad ka veidikest teksti juurde. Sleeki põsepunadest on see komplekt mul esimene, kuid jumaldan seda väga! Esialgu kujutasin ette, et see palett on pisut suurem, kuid 20g toote üle ei saa absoluutselt nuriseda, eriti kuna selle pigment on liialt hea, et tõsi olla.



This one comes with a very good color range I think. It has a bright matte orange (Lantern), a bright matte pink (Squash) and a slightly shimmery red (P Pie). P Pie is by far my favorite because it gives the most natural look. 

Selle paleti värvivalik on super. Kokku on pandud matt erkoranž (Lantern), matt erkroosa (Squash) ning kergelt särav punane (P Pie). Viimane neist on mu vaieldamatu lemmik, kuna annab nahale kõige loomulikuma kuma. 

I decided not to apply a filter to these photos so you could see the colors how they really are. They can be a bit tricky to apply just because they're amazingly pigmented. Once you get the hang of it they look amazing on the skin and wear beautifully. I haven't noticed any blotchiness during the day. 

Näete isegi, et värvid on tohutult erksad, lisaks sellele ka väga pigmenteeritud. Nii võib oskamatul inimesel või kellelgi, kes on harjunud, et peab pintslit põsepunaga viis korda kokku tegema, esialgu raske olla. Kui aga asi käpas on, jäävad need nahal imeilusad ning püsivad terve päeva ilusti peal. Minul ei ole kordagi veel põsepuna laiguliseks läinud. 

And here you can see the swatches. They're all done on bare dry hands with just one swipe in the pan and one swipe on the hand. That's how pigmented they are. Just the other day I told a friend how gently I have to dip my brush in the pan to not look like a clown. But this is exactly what I love. Have you tried any Sleek face products? 

Ja siin ka väike test nahal. Kõik on tehtud kuivale nahale, ühe tõmbega paletis ning ühe tõmbega nahale. Just nii pigmenteeritud need ongi. Täpselt seetõttu ma seda paletti armastangi! Kas olete mingeid Sleeki näotooteid proovinud?

Favorites: Lip care products - Lush & Nurme Seep

$

I've already introduced you to one of these products, Lush Popcorn lip scrub. Recently I received a little package from an Estonian brand called Nurme Seep that hand makes natural skincare and candles. If you remember then I absolutely loved my Burt's Bees peppermint lip balm. When it ran out I purchased the pomegranate version of it and haven't really felt the same love for it. When I received this spearmint lip balm I was so happy as I have heard great reviews of it plus it has a minty scent. By the way, I only buy spearmint gum, as it's my favorite flavor! 

Lushi Popcorn huulekoorijat olen teile juba varem tutvustanud. Hiljuti sain Nurme Seebilt väikese pakikese, kus sees oli ka tuntud Õhetav  huulevõie rohemündi eeterliku õliga. Kes mäletab, siis jumaldasin oma Burt's Bees piparmündi huulepalsamit ning kui see otsa sai, tahtsin granaatõuna versiooni proovida. Sellega aga nii tugevat sidet pole veel tekkinud. Nii oligi mu rõõm suur, kui sain selel rohemündi lõhnalise huulepalsami. PS: ostan alati vaid rohemündi maitselist nätsu, kuna see on mu lemmik (;

The lip balm is 100% natural and in addition to spearmint oil it has avocado butter and avocado oil in it as well. The product has a light green tint (which you all know I love). Consistency reminds me a velvety primer (it's soft and velvety) but once you apply it to lips it turns into a silky oil. When used together with the Popcorn lip scrub my lips feel smooth, silky and moisturized. 

Huulepalsam on 100% looduslik, sisaldab lisaks rohemündi eeterlikule õlile ka avokaadoõli ning avokaadivõid. Tootel ongi õrnalt rohekas toon, mis nagu teate mulle väga meeldib. Tekstuurilt on ta minu meelest mõne sametise praimeri (see on pehme ja sametine) sarnane kuid huultele kandes muutub mõnusaks niisutavaks õliks. Koos Lushi huulekoorijaga moodustavad need suurepärase kombo, mis teevad huuled siidpehmeks. 

You can see the Lush lip scrub has removed all flakes and the lip balm moisturizes well. I haven't had any cracks or dryness for a while. So here's proof that both of the products work amazingly and together do wonders! These two have a place on my new nightstand so first thing in the morning and last thing before going to bed I have a minute for my lips. Have you tried either of these products? 

Näete isegi, et mingeid pragusid või nahatükke kuskil pole ning huule pind on täiesti sile. Tõestus teile, et need kaks toodet teevad oma tööd suurepäraselt ning toimivad koos täiesti imeliselt. Neil kahel on koht minu uuel öökapil. Kas olete neid tooteid proovinud?

Hey hey! Today I have a video showcasing the products I've been loving during this Summer. You have probably seen most of the products and I have blog posts written of quite a few of them so everything should be clear. One thing I didn't include in the video is my KCproffessionals color mask in Pepper which I just ran out of. You all know, it's that white tube with a big red circle on it. During Summer my hair color needs a bit of extra attention and care since the Sun lightens it quite a bit. anyways check out the video below to find out what products I've been using and loving!

Review: Nurme Seep 100% natural soaps

$
0

Today I want to introduce some 100% natural soaps. An Estonian brand Nurme Seep produces different soaps - facial soaps, pedicure soaps etc. I own 3 of their soaps and all of them were gifted to me. The first one is a chocolate soap with goat milk. This I got from an Estonian online store Siison's team in may. On Nurme Seep's website it says that it's originally targeted for men but has become a favorite for women as well. We use it as a regular hand soap.

Täna räägin kiirelt kolmest Nurme Seebi seebist. Esimese neist sain Siisoni tiimilt kevadel. Selleks on Šokolaadiseep kitsepiimaga

I'm sure you could easily use it in the shower as well. It smells like the plainest bar soap mixed with sage mixed with something else I can't really pinpoint. I like the scent plus it really makes your hands squeaky clean. The soap itself looks dark brown, like chocolate. I love how bar soaps are really compact so they're easy to take with you (granted you have somewhere to put them) and remind me of my childhood. Also if I were to spend a week at our summerhouse where there's no plumbing in the house, I'd happily use this soap and feel especially old school. In a good way.

Selle seebi puhul pole märgitud konkreetset otstarvet, seega meil on ta kraanikausi äärel käteseebina. Tegu on tumepruuni seebiga mille lõhn on segu klassikalisest pesuseebist, salveist ja millestki, mida täpselt kirjeldada ei oska. Mulle meeldib tükiseepide kompaktsus, pluss nad meenutavad mulle lapsepõlve. Kui veedaksin nädala maal, kus meil majas vett pole, oleksin ühe sellise seebiga väga õnnelik. 

Next up I have two soaps which I got from Nurme seep itself. These two are very loved soaps here in Estonia so I was happy to find them in my goodie bag. Both of these also have a very similar scent to the first - classic bar soap mixed with sage mixed wit some mistery scent which is different for all three of them. All of Nurme seeps soaps are hand made.

Järgmisena on kaks seepi, mille sain Nurme Seebilt hiljuti kingiks. Need kaks on teadagi juba väga armastatud seebid, mistõttu olin nende üle eriti rõõmus. Mõlemal neil on sarnane lõhn esimesele - pesuseep pluss salvei pluss midagi kummalegi seebile iseäralikku. 

First is the pedicure soap. It kind of looks like a bar of oatmeal. Or like some kind of a healthy snack. The soap doesn't dissolve too fast, it has pumice stone powder and crushed sweet almond in it, which makes it amazing for exfoliating. I love walking barefoot in the garden and at home so by the end of the night my feet are not always super clean. Every evening Ive been scrubbing of the dead skin and the "soapy part" in it cleanses the feet. It's a very good 2in1 product. Yesterday I noticed how my feet are really soft all over, plus it's so easy to use I can see why everyone loves it so much. I definitely recommend this.

Pediküüriseep näeb välja nagu kokku pakitud kaerahelbepuder. Või siis mingi tervislik snäkk. Selles on pimsskivi pulber ning magusmandlipuru, mis teevad selle imeheaks koorijaks. Kuna mulle meeldib väga palju paljajalu käia, ei ole õhtuks jalad just säravpuhtad. Igal õhtul olen seda seepi kasutanud ja eile just märkasin, kui pehmeks mu jalad läinud on. See on väga hea kaks ühes toode. Saan täiesti aru, miks see seep kõigile niiväga meeldib! Kindlasti soovitan seda proovida, kes veel ei ole seda endale soetanud.

Last but not least the scary looking deep facial cleansing bar with active coal elements?? (No English translation so I'm just winging it :D). The foam is grey which is kind of cool but that doesn't really affect it's performance. I've heard how for some people this soap is a bit too harsh on the skin. For my oily skin it's so perfect that I don't always need a moisturizer afterwards. I usually remove my makeup before using the soap because it stings really bad when it gets in the eyes. Can't tell wether my pores look lighter because of this soap or because I'm more tan at the moment, but my face always feels squeaky clean after using it. Have you used any natural soaps? 

Viimaseks on must Sügavpuhastav näoseep. Selle vaht on hallikas, mis võib alguses ehmatada, kuid toote toimet see ei mõjuta. Mõnele inimesele võib see seep natuke liiga kange olla, kuid minu rasuse naha jaoks sobib see ideaalselt. Teeb näo krudisevalt puhtaks ning iga kord ma niisutavat kreemi ei vajagi. Kas te olete Nurme Seebi seepe kasutanud? Nüüdseks on nad juba piisavalt tuntust kogunud, et ootan teie muljeid (: 
PS: hoidke silmad lahti, varsti tuleks üks armas väike loos (;

Hey everyone! Today I have a first impressions video for you. If you want to see my reaction etc then please watch the video! (: When I first saw images of this mascara I was intrigued and a few days ago I received the mascara to try out. I was excited firstly because of the design and secondly because my current favorite mascara is also from Avon.

Hei hei! Täna on jälle ühe esmareaktsiooni video aeg. Kui nägin esimesi pilte sellest ripsmetuššist, olin kohe väga huvitatud. Sain mõni päev tagasi ka endale proovimiseks ühe ning olin rohkem kui elevil. Esiteks on selle ripsmetušši disain klassikalisest erinev ning teiseks minu praegune lemmikripsmetušš on samuti Avonilt. 


And this time I remembered to take before and after pictures, luckily (:

Seekord tegin ilusti ka enne ja pärast pildid ära.

So how does it feel? Would you try it?

Kuidas tundub? Kas tahaksite seda proovida? PS: Ärge unustage kingiloosist osa võtta! (;

Review: Garnier Nordic Moisture Match for oily/combination skin

$
0
0
A few weeks ago Garnier asked me to try one of their new Nordic Moisture Match face creams. I had a couple of days to test it until they took a photo of me and asked for a short comment. The picture is used in a Garnier ad which can be found in Estonian Cosmopolitan. It was a very cool experience and as I really started to like the moisturizer I wanted to share it with you as well. The idea behind these creams is that they cater to different skin types and aim to restore skin's natural moisture balance. For example dry skin needs a lot of moisture and oily skin needs a bit less but would like some mattifying effect.   

Mõned nädalad tagasi palus Garnier mul testida nende uut Nordic Moisture Match kreemi rasusele nahale. Mul oli aega mõni päev, kuni minust tehti pilti ja küsiti väikest kommentaari kõrvale. Keda huvitab, siis pilti saab näha näiteks augustikuu Cosmopolitani Garnieri reklaamlehel. Kogemus oli väga lahe ja kuna see kreem hakkas mulle tõesti meeldima, tahtsin seda ka teiega jagada. Iga kreem on mõeldud erinevale nahatüübile ja selle vajadustele, eesmärgiks on taastada naha loomulik niiskustasakaal.

And here's the Garnier Nordic Moisture Match ad photo they took of me.

All three creams have different textures, slightly different scents and they even have different colors I think. As I already mentioned, there are three variations of this cream. One is for dry skin (pink), one for normal (blue) and one for combination/oily (green) skin. Mine comes in a green tub and is... well.. green. The packaging looks and feels a bit cheap as it's made of plastic. Luckily whats inside makes up for it. Just the other day I tested the other two creams on the back of my hand so I could let you know how they differ. The pink cream is very think and I could feel it was very nourishing. The blue was a lot lighter but I'd say it's medium in the thickness department. The green cream is the lightest and feels very velvety. It promises to moisturize and mattify the skin.

Kõigi kolme kreemi tekstuurid, värvid ja lõhnad on erinevad. Käisin just ükspäev neid poes ka katsumas (kahjuks hinda ei taibanud vaadata), et oskaks tekstuuri võrrelda. Pakend on veidi odava väljanägemisega, kuid õnneks sisu korvab selle. Kuiva naha kreem (roosa) on kolmest kõige paksem, normaalse naha (sinine) oma on selline Harju keskmine ning rasuse naha kreem (roheline) on kerge ja sametine. Selle lubaduseks on nahka niisutada ja matistada. 

A little goes a long way with this green little fella. It is a cream that starts "working" after several uses. The first two or so days I felt like my face was greasy and shiny and not at all matte as promised. But then I started noticing how it mattified my skin and the effect lasted throughout the whole day. Amazing! I apply it every day and night and when I wake up in the morning my face is still matte. It hasn't broken me out so at the moment it is my favorite moisturizer!

Et kreem oma tööd hästi teeks, läheb vaja väikest kogust. Õige toime nägemiseks on vaja anda kreemile ka paar päeva aega - esimeste kordadega mõtlesin, et matistamisest on asi kaugel, kuna nägu hakkas praktiliselt kohe läikima. Õnneks mida aeg edasi, seda pikem oli matistav efekt. Kui kannan kreemi peale õhtul enne magama minekut, on nägu hommikul ka veel matt. Põletikulisi punne see mulle samuti tekitanud pole, seega praegusel hetkel on see minu lemmik näokreem!

Chit-chat: Late night rant

$

It's past 1 AM and I'm already in bed. But of some reason my mind keeps wandering. In all sorts of directions. I felt like writing it all down and maybe even publishing this post... So here goes.

People often ask what is the meaning of life. I don't know the answer to that but I know how I feel about life. Life isn't about money, or having a lot of friends. It's not about being more successful than others or having a bigger family. To me life is about growing as a person. In a way I believe in reincarnation. I believe every next life is a new challenge. You start out with your options, beliefs, chances, opportunities and grow as a person in the meantime. I feel people should not envy each other because someone has a 'better' life. I was born into this life for a reason (yes in my world everything happens for a reason) to experience the hardships and joys that I have and by now I've realized that life is what I make of it. I choose to be happy and not dwell on past miseries for too long. 

I haven't felt miserable or unhappy in a while because I try to see the bright side in things. No I'm not one of those 'I must be happy and bubbly 24/7' type of people. I don't like that type and to me it feels fake. I'm sorry if that made you feel bad but I don't mean it in a bad way. If someone genuinely is that way then power to them but to me it feels like a facade hiding something sad.  And that is what I don't like. I can hardly say bubbly about myself. But I am calm and content and happy. Genuinely happy. I've been involved with a few very bad people in my life and even though I somewhat regret it and wish some things had never happened I'm happy how it has changed me as a person. Yes, I'm very insecure but confident at the same time. I don't believe in God but I believe in myself, I believe in fate. 

I have worked hard to feel that I can believe in myself, that I can love myself and be happy because of who I am. I am far from perfect but I know I can change and grow over time, through my life's battles and happy moments. And because of that it am happy. One of my favorite sayings is 'If you can't fix the problem, why worry? You can't do anything about it anyways. If you can fix the proble, why worry? You can fix it.' This means that I shouldn't worry about things I can't do anything about. And whatever I can fix, I'll fix and be happy because of it. I know I have a good and happy life ahead of me just because I believe I can live my life that way. I have to work for my dreams and goals and believing in myself makes in easier. 

Every new friend is a new opportunity and every friend lost is a lesson on how to grow as a person. Our family is something you'll never lose, is something we can't choose. Learning to be a better family member through observing and trial and error makes me a better person. A better family member. So grow as a person. Learn from your mistakes, learn from the mistakes of people close to you. Don't trust easily and be curious about everything. Be willing to work for your dreams and don't let go of people easily. Unless it gets too hard. Relationships change over time, just as people. Every coin has two sides and both sides have to work equally hard to keep the balance. Don't shut people off, don't mute your feelings. Talk about problems, dreams. Solve the problems and make the dreams come true. 

Don't be afraid to let go of the dreams you used to have. Life is not set in stone and only you live YOUR life. Let others have their own opinions but don't be quick to judge others. I believe in tolerance and being quiet when you have nothing nice to say. But then again I believe in saying the negative things when it's meant to help open someone's eyes, when its constructive. People often see their own flaws as bad qualities in others. Don't be like that. Be accepting and concentrate on living your own happy life and not making others feel bad. Everyone has their own battles and opportunities, we can't judge each other because of that. We should enjoy what life has to offer for US and not mock or judge or be envious of others. 

I don't always practice what I preach but I'm working hard to cross out the things I want to see in others but don't see in myself yet.. I want people to know how big power our thoughts have and how easy it is to start living a happier life. I don't dream of a world without wars or sickness etc because I know that's not possible. I'm not naive. I just hope that I can make a few people think about how much power they really have over their own life. Working on yourself is not the easiest thing to do but with enough willpower it's doable. I have a couple of friends who worry a lot and I always remind them of the saying. It helped me to stop sweating the small stuff and I hope it helps them too. 

What's your take on life? Do you sweat the small stuff?

The other day I was browsing on YouTube and saw that Shaaanxo, one of my favorite beauty gurus on YouTube, had uploaded this video HERE. I really liked it and decided to recreate my own version of it. Watch the video below to see what products I used and how I did.

Ükspäev YouTube's ringi vaadates nägin, et Shaaanxo (üks mu lemmikuid YouTubereid) on üles laadinud SELLE video. Mulle hakkas see väga meeldima ja otsustasin seda järele teha.

NOTD: Pastel manicure

Yesterday I felt like doing something a little more special than just a plain color on my nails. So I went for a pastel French manicure and some nail stickers. The lilac nail polish I used is Maybelline Colorama nr 94. Nail sticker brand is unknown because I got them ages ago and just don't remember. But I think they might be by Kiss.

Eile tahtsin küüsi lakkida, kuid täiesti tavaliselt lakitud küüned tundusid igavad. Nii otsustasin kahel küünel teha pastelse prantsuse maniküüri ning lisada küünekleepsud. Kleepsud ilmselt on Kiss'i omad, pead ei anna. Pastelne lakk, mida kasutasin on Maybelline Colorama toonis 94.

To those people that love Wet n Wild nail polishes, if you have a Seppälä store near you then my friend Kätlin recommends you to try these nail polishes out. She said they're opaque in 2 coats and last on her nails for a week. Pluss, the shade selection Kätlin has just looks so cool! What's on your nails right now?

Eile veetsin mõnusalt aega om kursaõe Kätliniga, kes tahab kõigile soovitada Seppälä küünelakke. Kui muidu olen Seppäläs vaadanud pigem Wet n Wild küünelakke, siis tema on proovinud ka Seppälä enda lakke. Neile piisab kahest kihist ja tema küüntel püsivad need terve nädala ilusad. Pealegi tema lakkide toonivalik on minu meelest lihtsalt nii mõnus (: Mis teie küüntel praegu on?
