Monthly | It's June ! + ramblin'

Hi there !

I know I have been extremely MIA, but even telling you why would be super boring 'cause I just have been working my way through revision and finals actually. So let's just not !

MOODBOARD | This months moodboard clearly reflects my hunch for summer and freedom after I finish these feakin' finals.

QUOTE | As for the quote, there is a whole ramble of explanation WARNING RAMBLING INCOMING : I am a hell of a thinker, I think a lot and probably way too much. But sometimes all that thinking eventually amounts to somewhat of a philosophical epiphany (yes, I take myself very seriously haha, jokes !). But these last few months a new motivation/motto/mantra has been rolling around in my little head : you only live once. And I know that the whole YOLO trend completely ruined the meaning of that sentence, I’m well aware of that. But nonetheless, it is true. You get only one shot at life, so you better make that shot worthwhile. 

In past years I have been super super scared of everything around me that was unknown to me, but it dawned on me recently that all the good things in my life (this blog, my friends and even my boyfriend) are here because I was brave enough to conquer the fear or didn’t even think about what the negative outcome could have been.

Life is far too short to worry or be unhappy. Somehow I just realized how important it is not to waste the time you have. I have seen people passing way too soon and it kills me thinking of all the time they still could have had.

As a child these things aren’t yours to realize, but I’ve come to an age where everything is still possible, all the possibilities are completely open and mine to choose from. 

And I am a worrier and far too often I have been moody or sad or whatever. But it is kind of time to change that up, to live life the good way. So I am adding a resolution to my list or actually I already talked about one part at the beginning of may : following my gut. And this time I’m not saying that ‘I’m going to try something’, I am going to do it, to live it. I am going to get the most out of every single day and I am going to challenge myself to do all those things I am too scared to do but secretly kind of want to do.

Well, that was enough ramblin' for one post, Imma leave it at that ! 

Love,

K.

Favorites | June

Helloooooo ! New month, new favorites, let's dig in !

The past month I have been very preoccupied with finals so I didn't get the chance to test a lot of things, so this will be a rather 'short' post ;)

Beauty

MAC All That Glitters (eyeshadow) | During revision and finals I did want to put on make up, I know that a lot of girls don't bother with make up during those periods, but I don't feel at ease without it and since I want to be really relaxed and comfy I just went ahead and came up with a very quick and easy make up look. I basically just stuck to my normal foundation and contouring routine and for eyes I chose one eyeshadow (obviously All That Glitters) and paired it with a nude eyeliner on my waterline and two coats of mascara. I love MAC eyeshadows because they are of such good quality, so they're definitely worth the extra money. Last year I treated myself to an eyeshadow pallet from MAC as a graduation present and All That Glitters is one of the eyeshadows I chose to put in there. It is a very rosy-peachy-glittery eyeshadow and looks perfect on its own. I like to put it all over my eyelid, in the inner tear duct and halfway under my bottom lashes (to make my eyes pop and to make them appear a little wider) 

St.-Tropez Tanning Mousse | I am a super pale person and so I decided to get into fake tanning this summer, since I'm not really fond of laying there baking in the sun (after a terrible sunburn last year). I heard Ingrid, a.k.a. Missglamorazzi, raving about the St.-Tropez Tanning Mousse and guys, I fell in love ! This is soooo ridiculously easy ! The mousse applies flawlessly and your left with a pretty golden brown color even after having a shower. In the beginning I struggled with tanning my hands, because the bottle says that you should wash your hands thoroughly after you're done, but then my hands were left super pale. I find that it's the easiest to wash your hands properly after tanning and then apply just a normal layer on your hands afterwards and just as with the rest of your body, keep them dry for the next four hours :)

Catrice Eyebrow Pencil in A Date with Ashton | Ever since I have been into more neutral and nude make up looks, I have been loving fuller brows and this pencil really does the trick for me. It is thé perfect color for me. This is more of a dry pencil and applies very easily. A few years ago I tried to do my brows myself and ended up having too much space in between them and ruining my eyebrow shape, so now my brows are pretty sparse towards the middle part of my face. I focus on that area first, so just line the natural lines and fill that in and afterwards I lightly fill in the rest of my brows.

Fashion

Leggings | Nothing special here, I just love wearing leggings when I'm studying and my favourite one was this aztec printed one from Brandy Melville.

Lifestyle

Making 'moodboards' | As you guys know I am addicted to Tumblr and because I reblog quite a huge amount of pictures, I like to make little folders and moodboards on my computer to group them. I have a folder for inspiration on fashion, one for beauty and one for lifestyle. Check out my previous post to see my moodboard for July.

Vanilla Ice Cream | My favorite snack this month has been vanilla ice cream with or without sprinkles, hihi ^^ When it comes to ice cream I don't like to eat very exotic flavors and mostly opt for just the plain vanilla one, delicious as it is.

These are my favorites for June ! Hope you liked it ;)

Talk to you soon !

Lifestyle | It's June !

Hi there ! It's June already ... Oh boy ! Well, I have this habit of changing a few things up at the beginning of each month and I thought it would be nice to share them with you. 

What I do is each month I compose a moodboard of pictures I reblogged on Tumblr and make this the background of my laptop. This way, every time I see my background I'm feeling inspired by all the pictures :) The second thing I do is changing the inspirational quote on my bathroom mirror. I love to have a quote on there that inspires me, because I kinda spend a lot of time in front of that mirror ;) So every time I'm in front of it I will read this and it will lift me up or get me going, whatever it needs to do !

This month my moodboard consists of mostly white - beige - cream pictures, because as you know from my previous post ... I've got quite an addiction going on !

My inspirational quote for this month is one from the Breakfast Club, I haven't seen this movie, but I found this quote on Tumblr and it really relates to me. I am the type of person who will consider other people more than myself, but I also need a lot of confirmation. I care a lot about what other people think of me and sometimes I need to realise that I don't have to please/impress everyone.

Talk to you soon !
