French Braid

You might think that doing a French Braid on your own is difficult but no. You only need to know a few steps and you'll be good to go !

Practise makes perfect, try it until you make it perfectly.

I have to admit that at first I couldn't do it. First, it is super difficult to do it by yourself, right ?! My arms hurt. If I remember well, I think I tried a couple of braids for at least 2 hours in a row. ( it's better to do braids when your hair is quite dirty, otherwise the hair is too neat and clean and it falls off ).

Now, I have to admit I'm pretty good at it. I can do many different braids on myself or on people. I am actually proud. It's super nice to do it on people. Before, it was my friends who used to braid my hair during lunch time. I loved it. I love when people touch my hair and do me haircut. 

I remember when I was a little girl and I was bound to ask my sister to do my braids. It was nice for sure, but sometimes in the morning she was just too busy and didn't have enough time to do anything but to eat her breakfast. To be honest, I only learnt how to do braid by myself in early last year, in february I think. I had free time and I've always kind  of dreamt to know how to do it soooo, I just gave it a try. I know for those who never tried, you are going to be discouraged but don't be. Try a few times and you're going to start to see a big difference ! I promise.

Ohh and, did you too, (I mean I did it many times) did a braid for you class photo?

Here's the instructions:

• Grab a good size section of hair on the top of your head
• Dived Hair in 3 Sections
• Take the Left Section and Place it Over the Center Section
• Take the Right Section and Place it Over the Center Section
• Add a Small Amount of Hair to the Left Section and Place it Over the Center Section
• Add a Small Amount of Hair to the Right Section and Place it Over the Center Section
• And redo the number 5 & 6  "Add a Small Amount of Hair to the Left Section and Place it Over the Center Section - Add a Small Amount of Hair to the Right Section and Place it Over the Center Section" over and over again until you're done
• When you cannot take any hair on the sides, braid as a classic braid.

Here's a drawing of the steps. Down below there's a video to show it to you lads in real. If it's your first time and you think you did a great job, send me a photo !!

Click on the photo if you want it to be larger !

I think right after the 7th photograph, a drawing's missing. You also have to grab a piece of hair from the right side and add it to the piece of hair you're holding in your right hand. Then put the strand in the middle and start over the 5 image and so on.

Compromise

I know you're going to tell me that this has nothing beauty related and I am aware of that. I run this blog not only to talk about beauty stuff but also to show you what I heart and like. I actually can't wait 'til summer and beach, sweet sunset. I miss it. In approximately two weeks I'm leaving for summer and I cannot wait. I am sort of sick of this crappy weather... 

It really nice that where I live, I obviously mean the country. There are seas, beaches, mountains and so on. I don't have to travel a lot to feel like I'm somewhere else. I'm also so close to many countries which is super cool. I couldn't imagine living a second in Russia for example. Your country is so huge that when you want to go to another country you have to take a plane. How annoying and expensive of course !

Are you going on vacation this summer, where are you going ?

To  me, you don't have to travel far to feel like being away. I only need fresh air, new landscapes and it's on.

Eyeliner Trick

I am going to show you a little eyeliner trick for those of you who are not really good at applying it. Before using the real liquid eyeliner, I start by drawing the line I want to create with a black pencil. It is so much easier to erase it when you did wrong. Then when I'm done, I fill in the blanks with my real eyeliner and I am all done.

I know some people use some scotch tape but I don't. After all it's up to you and what you prefer. Some people prefer liquid eyeliner, some prefer pen eyeliner. Just choose the one you're the most comfortable with and the one that gives you the best effect.

I showed you this look, but it's not the one I'm used to. I'd rather prefer a more subtle look. The flick over here is a bit too dramatic for a day look, it's better for night time.

You are free to choose the one you prefer. To be honest, I am not a huge fan of makeup. What I mean is that I love makeup all the products, but I am not going to be able to wear tons on my face. I am more for a natural look especially during Summer time. When the freckles are out and your cheeks are red.

Anyway, once one of my friend told me it was ALL about the flick. From now on I believe her.

Hair Jewellery

Sometimes you don't feel like doing anything to your hair. You are just so bored that you don't even want to touch it. I have those days too. Sometimes I'm even wondering why I have got long hair. It takes you so long to wash it, brush it, taking care of it + the hairdresser and so on. It would be so much easier with short hair. I admit I love my hair though. I am a girl after all, and it feels good to have nice fresh smelly hair. The nice point about having long hair is that you can change a whole outfit by changing something to your hair. You can tie it whether into a sweet bun or a lovely braid + adding some head jellewery OR you can let your hair naturally and add a jewel. It is up to you.

These are some that I have. I admit that I love wearing them when I don't feel like going into any specific haircut.

• I have two cute little bow tie. I think they are lovely. The fake leather one is perfect for a "rock" look and the pinkish one for a more summery/ sweet lady look. I usually wear it when I take two pieces of hair from the side and attached them at the back of my head.
• After, there's the flower headband. It's super nice when you don't feel like letting you hair go down. When your hair is into a ponytail or a braid, add it and it will give a more finished look.
• And the metal headband fits every haircut. When your hair is down or up. I think this one is perfect with a bit of red lipstick. It gives you a very nice look.

Tell me what you think ...!

What's in my bag

I know that now it's really common to do the " What's in my bag " video. I am not going to do that. I just want to let you know what in my bag in general, on a daily basis. I usually don't bring much makeup or anything with me. I only take a sort of concealer the days I have spots on my face. pretty much.I really like to carry around a book with me, which is super nice when you have free time and don't know what to do. It's better than staying on your phone checking internet.Reading is actually one of those things I literally love to do.I am addicted to hard cove. I cannot stand people who are reading on the tablets and stuff like that. Books are PAPER. Do you find any paper on you electronic devices ? Nooo. But alright I understand sometimes it is really handy when you keep travelling.

I have pretty much all the basis stuff. I have a wallet, a mirror, a chapstick, a simple of perfume, tissues, earbud, my keys, product to clean your hands, some free powder and that's pretty it. I am going to show you my products !

Thank you and see you.

Hope you like my photographs, I am trying to take good ones ! :)

Converse

Those shoes are for sure my all time favourite shoes. I love them so much. They are super nice, soft, comfy, easy to wear. It fits everything and everyone. If you have no idea what to wear with your outfit, Converse is the answer... I recently purchased the White pair. - recently I mean more than a year ago ahah - Thing is where I live, the weather is crappy most of the time which means rainy so I did not wear them much. The cool thing about converse is that you can wear them during winter or summer time. It doesn't matter. Of course, the best for the winter time is to have a leather pair of boots (or whatever you prefer) for rainy day. I don't know about you but I have always prefered a great pair of trainers than a pair of heels. I am such a lazy person when it comes to comfort. I want to be comfortable in my shoes. So I will always try to find a compromise so I don't have to wear any ahah. I've always been used to wear these and it's really difficult to get rid of this bad habit. Well, is this even a bad habit? Um, I don't really know but it's sure that when you start to become a lady, heels are for sure the best and the most sophisticated. Can you imagine yourself going on a very important meeting wearing trainers... no you can't ! Probs are, they will also judge you on what you wear right at the moment. Better have to choose the best outfit you own. Anyway, any other time of the year you can wear them don't worry !

You can even match your boyfriend's ! Isn't it great ?!

I actually wear them for so long ! I always loved them, they are super handy.

Eyeshadows

I have green eyes, and unfortunately green eyes cannot wear everything. Only a small amount of colours work. Otherwise, it might hide the real colour of your eyes and that would be a shame since you should cherry it. 

Some sweet colours down there. All for brown.

Eyeliner look

This makeup tutorial is coming soon. It is getting pretty late now. Tomorrow, I have to go somewhere, so I am not going to be able to do it straight up as I wake up. I am going to try to do it for tomorrow evening. I hope. It is a very classy eyeliner look. I love eyeliner, it makes your eyes look like cat eyes. It doesn't look like you are overwearing makeup. It just brings what needs to be brought. Perfect. Here is a preview of what is about to come. I hope you like this makeup. I am sorry about the picture though, it is all I had !

Goodnight everybody.

Here's a close-up of my makeup.

Classy Ponytail

I know how much people love tutorial, so I am going for one. This one is a about a very easy ponytail which has something more. It gives it a more classy look in my opinion. This hairstyle can be worn by anyone - long/ short/ middle hair. Straight or curly -.

Put your hair into a simple ponytail, then after you have the ponytail, take a piece of hair.

Now, swirl it around the elastic.

Add a bobby pin so that it doesn't fall off.

Now you are done and good to go lovely.

Ed's album

I know I am not supposed to be talking about this - at least I don't think so?! - but I have been obsessed with Ed Sheeran's music for the past few years and I couldn't resist to buy his album on monday. I am so excited and I keep listening to his songs. They are so good ! Did you listen to his songs yet? Which ones? What do you think about his new album?

If you don't know him, go listening to his music now, it's worth it. ;)

Random Stuff

In this article, I am not going to talk about one specific topic. I am just going to show you pretty photographs, things I've bought recently or that I have been offered.

I am going to add a comment below each photo so you know what it is.

 It is a top, a legging and a short that I bought last week ( when the weather was pretty warm, as it is not the case anymore...). It is just basics, I didn't really feel like going into more special things.

Candles remind me of Christmas Time. I love Christmas time, I love the little lights, the streets, the smell of fresh air, the blanckets... Literally everything !

My Grand ma' recently went to a trip on cruise. She visited many places like Sweden, Denmark, Russia... So she brought me this mirror from St. Petersburg. Typically Russian style.
