Lifestyle | It's September ! + Where the hell have I been

 

Ellow ! It has been quite some while since I last posted something on here, I knowz. I've taken a little break from blogging over the summer to find some new inspiration and to sort out on my own where I want to take this blog to. But I'm back for more and better than ever so keep your eyes peeled !

Per usual, I start the month with a lil' moodboard and a quote. 

MOODBOARD | Still a crazy catlady, still loving oreo ice cream (Fyi : I'm working at an ice salon where they serve Oreo ice cream, oh dear mother of god !) and per usual already looking forward to fall !

QUOTE | One of my all time favourites, ain't it right Doris? (Btw, Wax Tailor has done an amazing job remixing this classic, listen to it over here !)

Salut !

Beauty | Inspiration - Short Hair Don't Care

Well hi !

Sooooooo, I've had my long hair for about four years now and that's also about the time it took me to get it this long BUT I'm kind of getting tired of it. Sooooo I've decided that this is going to be my last week of long hair for a while. On Saturday I am going to the hairdressers to get a hell of a lot of hair chopped of and I'm going to get a semi long bob. However I'm going to add the ombre back in, because I loved the look of that on me and I don't want to lose that too (One thing at a time !).

I'm training myself in making life less difficult, because I have quite a big tendency to do that. So my mantra for this one is : It's only hair it'll grow back ... eventually hihi

But yeah, I wanted to show you the pictures, that I'm going to show the hairdressers to base my haircut on, to keep you updated. I'll definitely post photos of my new haircut once it's done, so keep your eyes peeled for those on Twitter and Instagram on Saturday (you can find the links in the contact section !)

I'll leave you with that !

Love,

Kelly

Beauty | Review - Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation

Hi there !

I have been a major fan of a certain foundation for about a good two years now and even though I tried other, I always find myself coming back to this one : the Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation.

Application | This foundation goes on so smooth, it is literally like a dream. I love that the bottle has a little pump dispenser, 'cause it makes the whole application process a lot less messy ! The pump actually brings up the exact amount I need to cover my entire face, but I add a little more so I can go ahead and include my neck in the party. 

Consistency | This foundation is a little bit more on the thicker side, but this makes for a very good coverage. For me this is just the right amount if coverage : enough to cover my spots and scars, but not too much so I doesn't look cakey or anything.

Smell | It has the typical Rimmel foundation smell, that reminds me a bit of sunscreen and thus gives me the perfect instant summer feeling.

Feel | The wonderful thing about this one is that it has quite good coverage, but doesn't feel like you have a ton of make up on. It doesn't bother me at all during the day.

Result | The result is a gorgeous dewy complexion because of the tiny sparkly bits in the foundation. I know, at first it sounds frightening glittery foundation ! But these glittery things do not show up that much at all, it's not like you're looking like one of those Twilight vampire things or whatever they are, the glittery ones. They give a slight dewy effect to your complexion and that's why it doesn't actually look like you have a lot of make up on.

Lasting time | I would say it lasts like a normal foundation. Given the fact that it is drug store and remains a foundation. But if you add a primer and some setting spray, you'll be able to rock this one all day I believe ('cause I don't own any of those YET)

I have got so many complements already on this one, you would hardly believe it ! Oh btw, I normally am shade 001 ivory but during summer I get 002 silky beige, because it make me look a little bit less pale and if I would end up having a tan for once this one would be the exact shade I feel.

Recommend | DEFINITELY !

Love,

K.

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.
