I Love Jo Malone!

Hello everyone,

Today I wanted to share my love for one of my favorite Jo Malone products with you guys. My first ever Jo Malone purchase was Mint and Jasmine Candle. Even the name sounds delicious and unique to me! I have never been a big fan of any candles until I had this one. The smell is so warm but fresh at the same time. It's not too overwhelming or floral. It's perfect! You just need to burn the candle for a short period of time for the room to be filled with a light scent, so it does last. I like lighting it on when I feel stressed or sometimes before sleep to relax.

I will be posting more Jo Malone products that I love and recommend later, so stay tuned!

Summer Preparation and Favorite Self-Tan

Summer is slowly coming (in London) and it is time to get all tanned and toned! I've been pretty committed to running in Hyde Park and doing squats and lunges lately. I've also stopped pigging out with cakes and ice-creams (I have the sweetEST tooth on Earth!), which is extremely hard for me! It used to be normal for me to eat cakes, croissants, ice-creams, or chocolate everyday. But now, I'm trying to control my cravings.

This picture of Nicole Schersinger has especially been very inspiring:

And to get something like Nicole's tan my all time favourite self-tan has too be Xen-Tan. Its colour is deep olive, nothing orangy. And the vanilla scent...mmm.... it's the only self-tan I apply with pleasure, and actually look forward putting on everytime!! They are a bit pricey, but oh so worth the money!

For Face

The Goddess is back!!

Lately I've been head-over-heels with Jennifer Lopez. Just like years ago. I've always been a fan of hers because she is truly the epitome of Glamour: her make-up and hair are always perfectly done, she is always glowing and always seems so full of energy! I like that even when most female artists choose to go for a trashy/freaky image, J. Lo still stays true to herself. She's bringing back the Glamour! I wish I could look like her when I'm 40 (or even better now, please)!

Mario Badescu - The Best Cleanser Around!

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to share something I found couple of months ago in New York. I always get compliments about my skin and people ask me what products I'm using. However, few of them knows I have a life-long problem with cleansers. I like washing my face with water, so all the milks that you wipe off with a cotton pad is not an option for me, as I don't feel my skin is clean afterwards. However, wash-off cleanser always tend to dry out my skin, and make it feel very tight (e.g. Origins Cleansing Oil). I once read that Rachel Bilson was a fan of Mario Badescu cleansers, because they were 'very gentle'. So as I was in New York, I thought I had to visit their salon. After having a colsultaion, I bought the Orange Cleansing Soap and it is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! It is honestly the best cleanser I've ever used. It is so gentle on your skin, but it isn't milky and all greasy. Plus, it also smells amazing! So if any of you are looking for a gentle but effective cleanser - Mario Badescu is a go to brand!

With much love,

Ann! <3
