Happy Monday, sweeties!
We are having a lovely Spring so far, typical rainy weather in the past few days, but nothing we wouldn't know about April already. We're expecting some sunny days towards the end of the week, and this is energizing me.
In total honesty, I'm glad we're having some rain, because this gives me a break with allergies, when the weather is wet, pollen does not fly around and I feel much much better! Does this happen to you too?
It's time for a makeup challenge! The Monday Shadow Challenge thought Green and pink would be a nice combination for spring and, in my opinion, they had that right! I love green and pink as they create a lovely soft, luminous and fresh look! take a look!

Hello, sweeties! Happy Sunday!

Today's fashion Post is focused on comfort and practicality (well actually most of my outfits are, lol). Far behind are the days when I used to sport cute kitten heels and fancy outfits for visiting a city! Yes, I've done it in my 20's, but now visiting with two kids and stying all day out, a comfortable (and durable) outfit is a must. This doesn't mean your clothes need to be boring or not feminine!!

Check out my ideas to make your visiting day comfortable and chic ;)

Hello, my lovelies! Happy weekend!

April showers are not dissapointing and the month is coming to an end with rainy weather around here, which inspired the manicure I'm showing you today! This is a blue "Pond" manicure I did for the"Nail Stamping Sisterhood" challenge. I hope you like it!

Last February (yes I know, I took my time), I received from Attitude Bio the most generous parcel of skincare items for me to try and test. The Swiss store Attitude Bio only carries natural and organic cosmetic brands, like the French Brand I'm going to talk about today: Melvita. It was my first time using Melvita care products for the face and I introduce not only one product but a whole curated routine! Five new products, to cover all my skin needs, today it's time to share my experience with some of them!

En février dernier (oui, je sais, j'ai pris mon temps), Attitude Bio m'a offert le plus généreux colis d'articles de soin de la peau à essayer. La boutique et distributeur suisse Attitude Bio propose uniquement des marques de cosmétiques naturels et biologiques, à l'instar de la marque française dont je vais vous parler aujourd'hui: Melvita. C'était la première fois que j'utilisais des produits de soin Melvita pour le visage et je vous présente non seulement un produit, mais toute une routine organisée! Cinq nouveaux produits couvrant tous les besoins de ma peau, il est temps de partager mon expérience avec certains d'entre eux!

Happy Monday, sweeties!
I'm back! Last week I decided to take a break from blogging, I think I was having a "blogging burnout" :O !!!
I've been sleeping very little in the past few weeks, my average sleep was around 4:30 hours per night, including weekends of course. I started feeling terribly fatigued and decided to put the blog in pause and take more care of myself. In fact, I usually work late hours for the blog, when the children are already in bed, that's a time I'm not sleeping! I decided to tweak a couple of things in my routine. also, I wasn't feeling the urge of posting and sharing as I usually do, despite of having a lot of new products to test and stories to share... I took that as a sign and decided to slow down.
I spent a gorgeous sunny long weekend for Easter, with the family, my children are a great source of energy for me. I also spent a fair time working out and planning my meals in a healthier more nutritious way for me (I'm trying to lose some weight but without losing muscle and It's not as easy as it sounds!!). So, what has been keeping you busy lately?

Now, let's get into makeup!  It's time for a new Monday Shadow Challenge,"this week the challenge is a bit special because it's all about "PINK"! Yes, that's right! Two or more shades of pink combined in one same look. I thought this could be a good idea for a look a bit modern and also Kawai, I hope you will like my makeup :)

Happy Monday, sweeties!
We just came back from our short trip to Rome, we spent a lovely time there, sun, rain, sun, rain, sun, many wonderful moments with the kids, the highlight of it being their first time to the Stadium to support their team AS Roma. We ate delicious food, we visited some wonderful historical monuments, we walked a lot, we slept too little and had too many ice creams! It was a great experience to be back there after many years.

Now, let's get into makeup!  It's time for a new Monday Shadow Challenge. "Blue" and "Grey", are the colours for this week, I must say this is spot on inspiration for April's sky! it turns from blue to grey to blue again in just a few hours! lol. I hope you will like my makeup :)

Hello, my lovelies! Happy Friday!

I'm currently in Rome for a Short Spring Break with my family, So far things aren't happening exactly as planned, my son caught some stomach bug and he's been sick all day. Hubby hit the pharmacy and got some medicine for our son's tummy, fingers crossed he'll be feeling better tomorrow! You see this trip was a present for our son, we actually came all the way here to see a football game tomorrow, we have tickets to the stadium to support my son's favourite team, so it will be really not cool if he couldn't attend! Please, keep your fingers crossed for him getting well soon!!

Today I have a new manicure to share with you! I've been playing with the new OPI Tokyo Collection for Spring Summer 2019 and I came up with a couple of new nail arts! Today I show you my manicure with Spring blossoms, I hope you like it!

Happy Monday, sweeties!
Spring break started today here in Biel and all we can think of is our much awaited trip to Rome! The countdown has started! Have you ever been to Rome?

Today, it's time for a new Monday Shadow Challenge.  This time I've created a softer look for spring, to change a little bit after all my bright crazy looks lately, LOL! The colours for the challenge are "Dusty Rose" and "Warm Brown", I'd say this is one very wearable look, check it out!

Hello, sweeties! Happy Sunday!

Here I am, with a new "Fashion" post to share with you! Today I'd like to chat with you about another piece that I consider a wardrobe staple: The Biker Leather Jacket.  I think it is a basic piece that never goes out of style and gives many styling possibilities, without mentioning that it is very practical during mid-season weather.
Keep reading to find out how I adapt the Biker leather Jacket to my feminine style with a romantic touch.

Hello, my lovelies!!
I hope you are all doing fine. I had a very busy week so I couldn't prepare a new manicure for you this time. However, I thought to put together a post featuring 10 nail art ideas in Pastel colors! Normally, I don't care much about pastel colours, I'm more of a vibrant colours kind of girl, however, I do like some pastel looks, especially in Spring and especially for Easter! I think they are sweet and they would pair almost with anything. Keep reading to find out!

Hello, lovelies!
I was so impatient to write this post, as I have a new makeup palette and I'm super excited about it!  A couple of weeks ago I have received my Anastasia Beverly Hills Riviera palette and couldn't wait to show it to you! It is a rare gem with very bold colour choice, definitely a very special palette but not for everyone! I've created a Sunset makeup look with it, and made it really bold, :) Keep reading to find out if this palette is a good choice for you!

Hello, my lovelies! How are you today!
The months are starting to pass really quickly, I can't believe is already time for an "Empties" post again!
I have a huge amount of empty products this time, so I was hesitating about doing a video! Many of you opted for an Empties video on Instagram Stories to my question, so next month I'll be doig a video instead of a blogpost ;) I still have to fine tune the filming part (read: I need a camera other than my phone!! LOL) but those are just "details" aren't they?
It was impossible to fit all my empty products, which keep cumulating in one post, so I divided them into categories, and this month I'm sharing with you the skincare products that I've used up!
Let's take a closer look at my mini reviews :)
