Hi guys,

I have to admit I was never much of a romper / jumpsuit fan. Just the idea of taking the whole thing of when going to the bathroom scared me off. I have seen styled versions and blog posts with so many and different ones throughout the year and also my SIL love to wear those so I gave it a try. Actually the three pieces I own where bought within 4 weeks. I have to admit I love how they fit and it is so easy to style them. Like putting on a dress but a little more laid back.

Also there are so many different ways to dress them up to wear them on a date or at a concert for example.

The black and white gingham print is adorable and super versatile. In fact you could pair every other color to it to add a little more vibrance.

I went for the crocheted and straw details and the second I put it on it somehow reminded me of a girl selling fruit and vegetable at a farmer´s market. Maybe you can relate to that. 
If you want to snag your own fabulous piece be sure to go in stores now. There are huge sales going on everywhere cause whether you like it or not. Summer is fading and soon we are on the home straight fall.

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Beauty Routine – how I take care of my legs / feet in the Summer…

Gillette Venus original razor / Gillette shaving foam / EOS body lotion for dry skin / pumice / foot cream Neutrogena


….

Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affililate Links)
shouldn´t one of our most used body parts receive the most and best care? Yes probably. But when it comes to my legs/feet I have to admit I am neglecting them a little bit. Although I am buying them pretty shoes but that ain´t enough.

So for today I am rounding up my current routine. What I plan on including into it and some tips.

Let´s start with the most annoying part (at least in my opinion) – shaving!!

In the summer months I am shaving every day. This is okay so far cause it isn´t a real problem while showering to shave your legs but even by using different products and sharp razor blades there are still stubbles. 

I have used many shower creams, gels and oils but only one thing helped. First of all I have to admit I can´t use products with aloe vera cause I have an allergical reaction with it and get a terrible itching rash on the spots I used it. 

So why not waxing or using an epilator? Good question but this is not recommended if you are prone to varicose veins or spider veins. I do have some little spider veins already so I don´t want to gain more by waxing my legs. 

All that´s left now is shaving and here is my tip. I am using men´s shaving cream. My favorite is from Gilette. I doesn´t contain aloe vera. It goes on smooth. It is inexpensive and it works. By using men´s shaving cream I achieve the softest result for my legs without itching afterwards.

Of course the razor should be sharp too but that shouldn´t need much more explaining. I am using the Venus Gilette Original razor (like forever) and that is all I need. Nothing fancy or super progressive at all.

For keeping my legs hydrated I always apply a nourishing lotion after shaving. You could also apply a body oil. The shimmer of a body oil creates a darker tan than you actually have. Love that.

Let´s move on to our feet…
I am using a pumice for my feet about twice a week always after I have taken a shower. I am really no foot person I think feet are ugly. Whether they are mine or others. This is the purpose of buying pretty shoes to cover most of your feet.

So after that I am applying foot lotion onto my heel (I only do this when I go to bed  cause my feet get really slippery then).

My newest addition are these self-tanning wipes from Comodynes. I have ordered them last week and wanted to try them on the weekend but I somehow forgot it. So I managed to try them last week. The application is pretty easy. Just make sure your feet are exfoliated and smooth. Then apply the liquid inside the paper sheet evenly over your legs (or also arms whatever you like). It takes three full hours for the color to set in.

As always thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Happy International Lipstick Day….

Ein Kommentar

Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
since I am a lipstick hoarder lover and probably own 80 % of all excisting colors this is my day today. I really love wearing all my colors. Red (of course) for year round, orange in fall and summer, huge fan of neon pinks in the summer and dark purples for fall and winter. 

I have done several posts about lipsticks. Should you wear blue lipstick or not (here), my favorite colors for spring and summer (here), great lipstains to try in different price categories (here) reviewing the Balmain x L´Oréal lipstick collection (here) and of course last years blog post according to International Lipstick Day (here).
So here are some of my favorites I am using all the time. New colors and formulas but also some oldies but goodies.

 I really love lipstick and if I had to choose two make-up products I couldn´t life without it would be mascara and lipstick.


Do you have any favorites?


Also be sure to check the MAC online store. You get one lipstick for free with every purchase over 29 Euro. Use code: BIGLIP18

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Food Friday – awesome summer noodle salad Italian style…

2 Kommentare


….



Hi guys,

(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)

we love Summer BBQ´s and since our patio is ready we are constantly outside playing with Chloe, drinking our coffee outside, dining or having a glass of wine and also heating up the grill. This means I am on the search for new recipes to add to grilled meat or fish almost everytime we plan a BBQ.


A noodle salad is never a bad idea. No matter for what or when you are making one. There are also thousands of options like for pasta dishes in general. I made this Italian inspired noodle salad my mum loves to prepare too so I am sharing the recipe here today.


Ingredients:
– 1 cup of black olives
– 1 cup of mini mozzarella
– noodles (cooked, mine are maccaroni)
– 1 cup of artichokes
– 1 cup of pesto red


– cook the maccaroni and let them cool down
–  put everything together and stir until well combined
– eat


This delicious noodle salad takes about 30 minutes to make and is an awesome option for your own BBQ´s or for the ones you are invited too.


So for now I am leaving you with this easy recipe and some inspiration for your next BBQ and wishing you the happiest weekend. 


Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.
