Self Massage and Other Beauy Tips to Relax During the Lockdown
Hello, lovelies! Happy Monday!
On our 38th day of social distancing, chances are many of us feel very stressed out. If anything, the uncertainty of when things will be back to normal or even what will happen when we go back to normal, is definitely something causing much worry for many of us. We are enduring all sort of problems, economical, emotional, mental, etc.
My mood during this coronavirus emergency has been up and down. I sometimes feel very positive and sometimes I'm totally overwhelmed. When the latter is the case, I tend to cumulate a lot of stress and I'm not always successful to release my stress out. What has worked best for me so far, has been working out and also doing a relaxing activity.
So I thought I could bring my little grain of sand, offering a couple of ideas from my domain, which is beauty and cosmetics to help ease a bit the stress and make it easier to relax. Keep reading to find out how I use skincare and cosmetic to help me relax!
Our 4 Favorite Family Breakfast Recipes
Happy weekend, sweeties!
Every month I'll be sharing with you a post with my favourites of the month. I've talked to you about makeup on my last post here. But today I'll share with you something a bit different! Today, I wanted to show you the top 4 breakfast recipes that my family enjoys the most right now. So this month, my 4 favourite things are about FOOD.
We've been staying home for over a month now, because of the Coronavirus, of course. Whilst the normal routine has been altered, obviously, as schools are closed and we're working from home, many things have remained the same. For instance, we still get up before 7 am every working day!! This brings some advantages, one of them is that now we can have breakfast all together and we have a little more time to enjoy it and make it a bit special EVERYDAY! Which wasn't the case during normal times.
I must say the "stay at home" situation has definitely its advantages too. So without further ado, let's take a look at my family's top 4 breakfast recipes!

Nail Art │ Pastel and white Manicure with Roses
Hello, my lovelies! Happy Monday!
I hope you had a great Easter Sunday and that you are safe and healthy. Today I decided to join my colleagues of the "When Colours Collide" challenge. Today's prompt is "Pastel and white" and I used some OPI and MoYou London colours for this nail art. I hope you like it!

Keep reading to find out what each colour looks like on the nails and what was my experience applying and wearing six of the twelve new nail polishes. ♥♥♥
Makeup │ Sunny look in Orange and Gold
Hello, lovelies! Happy Monday!
We are heading right into Easter and I can't believe it. The time passes too quickly! I have the impression Mardi Gras was just yesterday. Some people find the lockdown or social distancing are giving them the impression of super long days. In my case, I feel I have not enough time! More precisely, not enough "ME" time.
Kids are 24/7 at home, demanding, attention, food, etc. It's like having three newborns again! hahaha. I try to be positive but I do miss to take time just for me. When I work out, they are there, when I'm taking a shower, they are there; when I'm trying to take care of my skin/hair, they are there! If you are an old visitor, you know how much I love playing with makeup and doing bold looks. These days when I'm not leaving the house, I don't do my makeup anymore, but I really miss it. So, last week I decided I was going to create a look just for FUN, I grabbed my BH Cosmetics Zodiac LOVE SIGNS* palette to create a look in Orange and gold for the Monday Shadow Challenge and I am so happy I did. I hope you like it!
Nail Art │Floral Manicure to cheer us up!
Hello, my lovelies! Happy Thursday!
I hope you had a great week so far and that you are safe and healthy! Today I decided to join my colleagues of the "Nail Stamping Sisterhood" challenge. Today's prompt is "Flowers" and I used my favourite colours for this BOLD nail art. these are the colours that cheer me up and I thought we could use a little "extra factor" in the present situation we are living with the coronavirus. I hope you like it!
Adorable Hello Kitty Nail polish by OPI ♥
Hello, my lovelies! How are you doing today? Another day staying at home!
Every day we try to find new positive things to this social distancing. The negative ones, we all know, right? But you know something, I'm positive quarantines are good for playing with nail polish!!
There is something (out of many things) that my four-year-old daughter and I have in common: we both love the cute character Hello Kitty and we both love having our nails done! Last year OPI launched the absolutely amazing Hello Kitty by OPI collection for the Holidays*, celebrating the 45th Anniversary of this cute character! Which made happy more than one girl 😉 Back then I was in the middle of a blogging/social media break, but now it's the perfect time to show you the beauty of that magical collection! Are you ready?
Skincare │ Melvita Organic Argan Oil perfumed with rose essential oil
Hello, lovelies! Happy Monday!
What strange times we are living all over the world right now! The situation is preoccupying with the Corona Virus and the confinement quite difficult to put up with. In total honesty, I'm personally a bit overwhelmed with all the changes that suppose having the children suddenly home-schooled, the hubby suddenly home-officed, not being able to do my sport outdoors, basically not leaving the house at all and trying to keep a cheery mood! Well, I mean having zero time or space for myself is difficult. I know it may sound so banal, but I really cherish the rare minutes I can spend taking care of myself a bit and my skincare routine is important to me for that matter.
So today, to change our ideas, we'll be talking skincare! More precisely, about a marvellous multipurpose scented oil, which is an olfactive experience that will transport you to a flowery field. Yes, now #westayhome but we can travel with our senses! Melvita scented argan oil will do that for you and more!
Home │ Improving home decoration and organization: Baby steps
Hello, sweeties! Happy Monday!
I'm going to be straightforward with you and tell you from the beginning that home decoration and home improvements have never been my thing. I'm really horrible at it!
That being said, towards the end of 2019, I reached a high level of discomfort with our living space and I decided to challenge myself and try to improve my home a little.
Today I'm opening a brand new section on my blog to somehow document my "learning" through Home improvement, decoration and organization. Hoping that in one year from now I'll be looking at my pictures of today feeling that I've improved a lot!
I'll start showing you our living room and what small changes we've introduced to make it feel more spacious functional and decluttered. I hope you like it!
Empties │ The Skincare products I've used up recently (vol. 39)
Hello, my lovelies! How are you today?
I can't believe we are already in March! January did not want to go away and then February came and left so soon!
I have a huge amount of empty products this time, because I haven't posted in a long time, but I kept all my empty bottles all this time! I will definitely film a video for the empty products next time.
It was impossible to fit all my empty products in one post, so I divided them into categories, and this month I'm sharing with you (some of) the skincare products that I've used up!
Take a closer look at my mini-reviews :)
