Christmas Presents(this time with gifts)
So continueing earlier post. Didn't want to make it extremly long, I just always tend to do extermly long ones even if I say that I'll just make short post. SIGH! One of my bad sides. Nobody's perfect :)
Caution: A bit lazy so copypaste is acceptable, pretty please?
So for my sister I got:
Zero Blemish Pore Refining Care
On their site it says:
- Note: I would have wanted to get her facial mask but we both are quite lazy mask users because it's time consuming(like this isn't? Oh logic why did you leave me?).
Stop Blemish Lotion
On their site it says:
4 in 1 action:
For mom:
Hand Beauty Care Collection
On their site it says:
* Cold Weather Balm Enriched with Shea
Repair Balm Extra Dry Skin
On their site it says:
I just hope this will work for her. It's different from other one so I got high hopes on one of them to work.
For grandma:
Super-Soft Body Lotion
On their site it says:
Well I just have met so many old people saying that skin gets so sensitive once their old, so I decided to search for body lotion for sensitive skin. Copra oil<3 Oh how yummy it sounds!<3 I would be sniffing grandma all day long. Maybe this wasn't such a good gift idea afterall....
Derma-Soothing Day Moisturizer
On their site it says:
- Note: I am somehow blind because I can't seem to find night version of this? I would have got her both. Because mom and grandma are only people in this family who really want different cream for day and night. What a bunch of weirdoes.... :P
and for her hands also Cold Weather Balm Enriched with Shea same as mom gets. Grandma appreciates having cream for body, face and hands separatedly.
Best part of this that here I picked up products suitable for people in different age group and different needs so I'll later tell what their opinion of those products once they have used them for awhile! :)
I been lately really into detox after trying detox pads, so I couldn't resist ordering myself detox set. Sigh.....Opinions on it coming later!
Have you already what presents you will get or have you already got them? Or are you that type of person who gets all presents on the very last moment? If you have already certain presents on your mind, I would be happy to hear what other people have decided to give :)
All products are from Yves Rocher.

Caution: A bit lazy so copypaste is acceptable, pretty please?
So for my sister I got:
On their site it says:
To tighten, open pores and conceal minor imperfections, entrust your skin to Zero Blemish Pore Refining Care. Your skin is smooth, flawless, your complexion is matt and beautiful. Use morning or night.So the whole idea of non-oily, light texture cream that you can use anytime and leaves your skin matt sounds perfect. I hate shiny facial creams. I hate when you have to wait till cream "dries" or is just yuckily thick. And since I'm lazy lotion user, I never care to follow the night and day thing and it's just waste of space to have 2 separate creams for day and night. Atleast annoys me. Yeah like that 2 little jars gonna waste lots of space, but I can't stand space waste, big or small waste, it just mixes my nuggets! I love matt finish! My all time favourite creams got matt finish. And I know my sister will love this. If not then I don't mind getting it for myself.*innocent look*
The Plus : Its non-oily, ultra-light texture leaves a velvety matt finish on the skin.
- Note: I would have wanted to get her facial mask but we both are quite lazy mask users because it's time consuming(like this isn't? Oh logic why did you leave me?).
On their site it says:
4 in 1 action:
- Treats pimples and blackheads,Yes another lotion. Well because I was thinking she could first use this one and then to maintain the better skin she could use the other one. Because this just seems more like curing and other seems maintaining. But she can use them both and see which one suits her better.
- Refines skin texture,
- Speeds skin healing,
- Mattifies skin for 8 hours thanks to its formula, enriched with regulating Scutellaria.
The Plus: Its oil-free, non-comedogenic formula leaves skin clear and healthy.
Paraben free formula.
For mom:
On their site it says:
* Cold Weather Balm Enriched with Shea
Dry, calloused, chapped: your hands are stressed out!* Long-Lasting Moisturizing Hand Cream
Formulated with protective Organic Arnica and reparative organic Shea Butter, the Cold Weather Balm Enriched with Shea is an expert beauty hand treatment that prevents skin from cracking, as it soothes and repairs dry, damaged hands due to cold weather or other external aggressions.
Just like your face, your hands are highly exposed. Protect them by moisturizing them all year long. Formulated with protective organic arnica, this cream cares for your hands:It's cold weather during Christmas! I just want her hands to get better so I want her to try different products to find the one that helps.
- It instantly and lastingly moisturizes,
- It offers protection from external aggressions.
Your skin regains its supple softness. Paraben free
On their site it says:
This rich, creamy balm formula intensely nourishes and repairs very dry or damaged skin. Your skin is nourished and soothed – just like new.
I just hope this will work for her. It's different from other one so I got high hopes on one of them to work.
For grandma:
On their site it says:
This Super-Soft Body Lotion moisturises your skin all day long and leaves it very soft. Its secret: shea butter and copra oil to nourish the skin and strengthen its natural suppleness, biological witch hazel extract to soft the skin. Its allergen-free fragrance respects sensitive skins.
Well I just have met so many old people saying that skin gets so sensitive once their old, so I decided to search for body lotion for sensitive skin. Copra oil<3 Oh how yummy it sounds!<3 I would be sniffing grandma all day long. Maybe this wasn't such a good gift idea afterall....
On their site it says:
Sensitive skin is beautiful and delicate skin, but it reacts to the slightest aggressions. It needs care to prevent the feeling of discomfort.
Every day hydrate and soothe your sensitive skin. High tolerance Vegetal Sophorine formula developed in collaboration with dermatologists and clinically validated on sensitive skins. It soothes, hydrates and protects all day long. Reduces day by day feelings of tightness and overheating.I know her face is sensitive atleast when it comes to other creams. Skin gets irritated easily and eyes puffy. So I hope this one suits then and replaces the mud cream, which by the way changed it's ingredients so the mud ain't as nutrious anymore and the cream is "watery" and lost its effectivness. HOW ANNOYING IS THAT? Oh and price rose by 4 times..... Yes product made worse so lets make it a lot more expensive.
The plus: This day cream instantly soothes the skin.
- Note: I am somehow blind because I can't seem to find night version of this? I would have got her both. Because mom and grandma are only people in this family who really want different cream for day and night. What a bunch of weirdoes.... :P
and for her hands also Cold Weather Balm Enriched with Shea same as mom gets. Grandma appreciates having cream for body, face and hands separatedly.

Christmas Presents
*First I just wrote endlessly long text why I chose this as my gift bla bla offtopic as usual*
Last night I decided at 2 am(yeah I know I make no sense) that I want to order christmas gifts for my family already. I been always either making gifts or buying something the person has wanted or needs badly. Eventhought making gifts is really amazing thing to do, it's just that always I don't have time for that and this time I don't feel like theres anything I can do. By making I don't mean something complicated. It can be something really simple with bought gift. For example my bf is going to get a plushie that he will love a lot with engravable ID bracelet that has our initials as in I ❤ him. :P Plushie I'll be making myself. Or for example I know my family loves all sorts of bakings I make so I could bake them something in addition to other gifts. Making even something small adds more value to your gift.
This time I thought what would be something that could make my grandma, mom and sister happy? Well my sister has troublesome skin due teenage, mom has really troublesome dry hands this year and grandma is always happy to get more lotions. So since I had discount send from Yves Rocher and since I do no longer support any of the companies that make skincare products that aren't close to nature that was my choice to buy christmas presents from.
And by that close to nature I mean isn't mostly natural ingredients and isn't saving nature. No worries, I'm not some crazy obsessed with nature protecting nutcase. It's just that I have been working in company where I had to sell non-natural skincare products to customers and trust me, seeing their little progress of skin getting better, their frustration, money waste and hearing their complaints about skin irritations etc just changed my world. Also I kinda agree with something I was told once: Why put something on your skin that you wouldn't eat?
I decided to try for my skincare problem natural option. I had this really annoying skin crackling going on. My hands were really irritated and I had deep cut like wounds and nothing seemed to help. My hands were red, itchy and extremly painful. I couldn't sleep well and honestly doing something with my hands made me teary of pain, because even moving a little bit my finger, it felt like my skin was tearing apart. I had tried before many products from my work but not even slight change for better, only got worse. Some products irritated more, even so badly that it felt like insane burn so had to wash it off right away. Some had no effect at all. The natural one I chose was some cream that was really greasy and I read it's mostly just avocado oil. It smelled thought like sheep! But it wasn't like everyone could smell my sheepyness, it was just if you smelled your hands. But that worked! That really worked! No irritation and skin was way better in just few days!
For my mom this cream didn't work, thought she has same problem now. It might be that it doesn't suit her skin. Because afterall I was born in sheep year so sheep for a sheep works? But the point is that the most important is that she had also tried different creams and all were prescripted by doctor and none of those worked and some had caused irritation. My sheep cream didn't cause irritation and she kinda liked it since it removed the irritation and pain. It just didn't cure the cuts like it did to me. So I got my mom into natural products too because she just noticed how much better they work. For grandma I once bought pure olive oil creams and some cream made of mud AND she loved them both. Then I recommended my sister to try for her pimple problem natural option and no irritation, so that's one more fan to the natural skincare team.
I have myself been pretty pleased with Yves Rocher, because it's easy to order, decent pricing, a lot to choose from and I like it's thinking of nature. No this ain't ad for the company, I just wanted to tell my reasoning for gift choice.

A little fix to the H&M kids sections complain +WEEKEND!!!
I just want to clarify that I got nothing against kids having pretty clothes or anything like that. It's just that I WANT THOSE TOO!! Yeah I can fit into those and I have nothing against adult person using kids clothes aslong as they fit u but it's just that........ I don't know if I can ever go to work wearing same clothes as the kids that come into my store with their moms. It's just weird but I'm really close at ordering those clothes despite being lookalike with kids.
When it comes clothes, I think aslong you feel comfortable, confident and happy in it, wear it no matter what others think or say.
At work I go with that too. Even if something suits perfectly a customer but they don't feel like it's the one, I just tell them how I see it but I let them know that it has to feel right or else it's a waste. I don't want anyone to wear something that isn't making them feel good. I don't want them to pay for feeling bad. I want them to buy something that makes them feel amazing, confident and happy! Because we all have to do things that make us happy. We shouldn't do things that make us feel bad. I'm sorry but we have to be a bit selfish, not rude or douchy but we got only this one life so make it worth it.
Weekend! It's WEEKEND! WEEK-END! I don't have work tomorrow nor on sunday, yey! I do love my work but I want to spend more time with my loved ones at times. I do love my customers at work so it really doesn't feel like work! But back to weekend. Sooooooo I went to store to get myself something good for weekend. Everyone bought lots of alcohol and kids bought sweets for weekend. And what on earth I buy for my weekend?
Garlic sauce. Yes, sauce, garlic sauce.
Yes garlic.
I do love chocolate but garlic is heaven for me. I honestly love it so much. If u guys could only spend a week with me, you would eat sandwich with garlic, tuna salad with garlic sauce, chicken salad with garlic sauce, hot chicken wings with garlic, garlic bread and much more. I always have to have 2 bottles of garlic sauce and garlic powder in my kitchen. Or else I'm good as dead. I can't be without garlic. Garlic rye bread<3 OH GOD!<3 I just love it so so so much.
So vampires watch out! I smell like garlic probably from miles away.
ps. pics provided by google search, I'm lazy to take pictures of garlic and those are prettier and I felt like this post needed some weekend garlics. Thanks!
PSS. Overate garlic, feeling sickish. Some get drunk and really sickish due that, but no I do that with garlic.......... more »

Oh H&M why you spoil kids so much?
I happened to find so dreamy new things at H&M's site and suprisingly all on kids section..... and I won't probably buy those because I'm unsure if I really want to buy more clothes because I think I already have "enough", well more than "enough". *cough cough whole apartment full of shoes and clothes*
So here they are:
This jacket is so so so so so so so CUTE! I just can't wait to get it and combine it with some rough outfit. Like black leather pants and black top with this<3 This would so soften up my outfit! I just love this one so much! When I saw this, I decided that I need this! I can't live without it! It's just so perfect!
Whats there to not love about this one? It's pink, it's golden, it has a rose, it has adorable leaf and it has a chain! Well okay to be honest I don't like the round shape and glitter(as I'm sure it will all fall off in no time) but this still stole my heart!
This is really pretty too thought...... This reminds me of some ice queen. This would be so perfect party bag. perfect for that. So beautiful<3
Teddy creamy fur and black leather<3 This is so cute! So amazing! I want this one so bad! I can't imagine a day without having this on! It's just so amazing! I love it so much and I don't even like vests!.
I so so so so love them both! <3 They're both so pretty! I can't even make my mind which one is a bit better. I love the hearts and chain<3 And the slight reminder of Chanel bag! :)
This is the MOST PERFECT SEQUIN DRESS I have EVER seen! This so damn cute and so lovely! It would make me feel like a princess<3 I LOVE IT!
Should I buy these or not?
I really want to but my bankaccount wouldn't like it.

IT'S THURSDAY!!!
I really don't get myself. I'm at work everyday 7hrs and once I get out of the work I feel like I don't have time to do absolutely anything! Thought I do a lot of things, such as go out to eat or sew something for friends or work. But when it comes to cleaning or blogging I sort of have no time to do those. I really need to reorganize my daily schedule. But it's thursday so it means that tomorrow is friday(wow really??) soo then I got no work on weekend so I might have to do everything such as clean the apartment! But I know what will happen. This happens every day off I got: I wake up extremly late (around 14-16) then I spend time with friends or family and return home at 22 then I'm too tired to do anything. Oh well maybe this weekend will be different. Got lots of posts to finish for blog! Gotta rush to work now thought! :)

Move in with crazy
No no no I don't mean my boyfriend. I mean myself as crazy. Apartment looks like dumpster, like it exploded here......... It's huge mess. It will require days, weeks, months and lots of people to clean this. Everytime I get something I find some kind of problem that I have to solve before moving to next pile of mess. I really do wish I'm not only person on the world with this problem. Am I?
So I know I promised posts about another things but move in is getting closer and apartment looks horrible. My man will flee when he enters apartment. Bye bye relationship! I'm honestly not kidding. This is disaster. All those itsy bitsy things that I couldn't bother to find place for, found their place in my bed. So half of my bed is pile of small things. I got bathroom things in livingroom just because it's still open what will happen to bathroom. I'm unhappy with bathroom. It feels like its a lot smaller after renovation. Maybe it's just me but mom noticed same thing...
So anyways now I got few projects that need to be done before I can clean this mess. My curtains were too small for these windows but I want to use those curtains cause a) Got them from grandma b) Some are my all time favourites c) They fit perfectly my furnitures and other things d) It's a waste to buy new ones just because earlier ones are too small especially when I can sew.
Project nr 1: Kitchen curtains.
I got from grandma those cute kitchen curtains. Theyre green and white with pictures on it and ruffle edge.
Well unfortunately theyre not enough to cover the window and well look somehow incomplete. I went to many stores and fleamarkets to find matching green but I only found few shades brighter for 1€ on fleamarket. That was the closest of all shades and I spend 6hours in stores!!!
I got extra fabric that was supposed to be used as tiny curtain for my walk-in-closet but since I found some other curtain for it so then I thought this could suit kitchen. It's yellow with greenish flowers. Yes green, yellow and white in kitchen might not be good idea right?
But I love that yellow fabric so much! I want to use it so badly!!
So now gotta figure out what I'm going to do. Will I use that green fabric to make curtains to kitchen or make yellow a curtain and use green to make matching ruffle bottom as the grandma's curtains have?
Project nr 2: Living room curtains.
Grandma gave me her BEAUTIFUL brownish grey curtains with creamy white flowers. I love those curtains! But same problem as with kitchen. My windows are way too wide. Matching curtains is impossible to find... Trust me I have been searching for such over half a year and searched through any possible place. So this one day I found on fleamarket pretty old style pink curtains. They got same fabric as grandmas given curtain and I love grey pink combination. It makes grey a bit less dark and pink calmer. But sure we can't get away with this without any extra problems! :) I excitedly took all those 4 pink curtains and paid for them, went happily home because I just hit the jackpot, straight away started putting them onto window and what do you know? 2 of the pink curtains are perfect of their size and another 2 are squares(WHY????) soooo I have to UNsquare them and make them match with the rest. But how to do that without any harm?
Project nr 3: Apron
I decided I need one or else..... I don't know, I'll guess I just remain messy then. I was thinking about making apron from that green fabric I got for kitchen curtains. I want my apron to be with ruffles and cute!
Project nr 4: Spare mattress
When I bought my bed, I bought first small mattress because I thought I won't find good bigger mattress with decent price anytime soon. Oh well after buying that within 4 days of that I found bigger one being sold with 60% discount!!! Ofcourse then I had them both. Now it's just time when I notice that having that spare one around the apartment without good place to store is getting annoying as its always on your way and it ain't really pretty enough to be on seeable place... So I thought I'll just put it under bed but there it will get dusty. So what to do? Well I thought I'll get some fabric that won't mind getting dusty (as in easy to clean off). I went through many stores and eventually I bought shower curtain and ill sew a "bag" off it to my spare mattress. Then it can be under bed without any problems!
Project nr 5: Walk-in-closet disaster
One of my clothes rails fell off the wall due earlier apartments owner totally screwing up the attaching to a wall...I have never seen so big uneven and weird shaped holes for so small screws. So need new clothes rails.....and I'm no good in things like this..

I decided I need one or else..... I don't know, I'll guess I just remain messy then. I was thinking about making apron from that green fabric I got for kitchen curtains. I want my apron to be with ruffles and cute!
Project nr 4: Spare mattress
When I bought my bed, I bought first small mattress because I thought I won't find good bigger mattress with decent price anytime soon. Oh well after buying that within 4 days of that I found bigger one being sold with 60% discount!!! Ofcourse then I had them both. Now it's just time when I notice that having that spare one around the apartment without good place to store is getting annoying as its always on your way and it ain't really pretty enough to be on seeable place... So I thought I'll just put it under bed but there it will get dusty. So what to do? Well I thought I'll get some fabric that won't mind getting dusty (as in easy to clean off). I went through many stores and eventually I bought shower curtain and ill sew a "bag" off it to my spare mattress. Then it can be under bed without any problems!
Project nr 5: Walk-in-closet disaster
One of my clothes rails fell off the wall due earlier apartments owner totally screwing up the attaching to a wall...I have never seen so big uneven and weird shaped holes for so small screws. So need new clothes rails.....and I'm no good in things like this..
