Autumn Balcony Garden Special!

           Photos 2, 3: View from opposite corner. Various autumn flowers are planted 

in a wide plastic corner pot.

Among the flowers, you can see small decorative figures!

   Photos 4, 5: In the background... Windbreak netting garden fence is very helpful 

for shade-making

and keeping your balcony garden clean from dust or exhaust gas smells.

Also, windmill toys are very popular as a garden ornament!

 Photos 6, 7: Inside the flower pot, there's an outdoor sun sensor light, ideal

for catching the sunlight during the day and giving off light during the night.

Photos 8, 9: Insert small pots inside the top of larger pots to give small plants 

more height!

I hope these ideas have inspired you to start some autumn activities in your garden 

and transform it into a relaxing place for you and your loving ones.

So, what are you waiting for? Bring nature on your balcony!!!

Face mask for a refreshed skin, all weekend long!

Hard week, tired face?

This weekend allow yourself the refreshed feeling result

of an all-natural face mask!


Ingredients and Procedure:

In a bowl, place 2 tablespoons of milk.

Then, add small spoons of flour and stir well, until the mixture is made thick.

After that, add in the mixture

a small spoon of honey,

a few drops of fresh lemon,

and the white substance of 1 egg.

Continue to stir!

Finally, add some more spoons of flour as necessary, so as the mixture is made thick

and doesn't flow easily.



How to apply the mask: (get someone to help you)

Lie down!

Use a spatula to apply mask on face (keep some distance from the eyes!)

Start applying from the right cheek, go down the chin, continue with the left cheek

and up to the forehead!

Relax face muscles and leave mask on face for 20-30 minutes,

so as the skin absorbs the nutrient.

When mask is dried, the skin feels firmed and tightened,

(that's due to the egg white substance)

and now you are ready to remove mask with warm water!


Did you know? 

This mask is...

...antioxidant and moisturising!

...friendly to the skin and can be used in a daily basis (during autumn/ winter/spring months)!

...NOT suitable for the summer. Avoid sun exposure! Red spots can be made on skin,

   due to the lemon acids!

... a beautician's formula I found about in a morning TV programme!

... tried and tested by myself to ensure reliable and valid results!

...NOT recommended for those who are allergic to any of the natural ingredients!


Tips for puffed eyes:

Use all-fat yogurt or slices of cucumber for relief and moisturising!

 Have a very relaxing weekend!

Totally in love with my new... lipstick!

Photos 1, 2: My new lipstick in the color of deep rose pink !

Hello, my autumn beauties! 

This posting is all about getting adorable lips for the season!

In the fall, we tend to wear lipsticks in matte dark colors of red, plum brown, purple

and winter pink.

Mine is a velvet deep rose pink, which looks wonderful as an autumn look!

Tip of the day: 

Increase your self-esteem 

by wearing your favorite lipstick

and you're ready to conquer the day!

Beautiful days start from your bedroom...

Photo 1: 

Roses in innocent pink color (for the romantic ones), 

trendy notebooks and journals 

(for those who want to make their bookshelves more interesting),

decorative papers in animal, floral and spot designs 

(to decorate your photo frames!)

a set of colorful bows 

(strictly for party animals, who want to create the atmosphere of an ongoing party!)

Photo 2: 

Who said that photo frames are strictly

for friend and family photos?

Make a difference, by inserting wishing cards or decorative papers! 

Hope these ideas have inspired you to make  positive changes in your life,

starting first from your bedroom, your own personal space!

Eat salads, for healthier body and skin!

 hard-boiled eggs and tomatoes

Why eat purslane salad? 

For its antioxidant Vitamins A and C, 

its Omega-3 fatty acids and minerals for heart and skin health.

Why eat carrots? 

Cause they are rich in Vitamin A (for healthy eyes),

Beta-carotene antioxidants and minerals for a healthy body.

Why eat eggs?

For their protein, that helps in cell renewal

and gives energy to the body.

Task:

What is your favorite salad recipe?

Search the nutrition facts of each ingredient online 

or through health leaflets.

Tips for beautiful eyebrows and eyes, all week long!

Photo: Long lasting dark brown pen, for the eyebrows.
Its soft pointed brush makes it easy for you to use!

For quite some time now, I have been experimenting with my eyebrows shape.

As I am quite a lover of theatrical makeup, I tried to give myself a more dramatic look by

darkening my eyebrows. In the photo above you can see my my new favorite product, for filling in

my eyebrows...


What's more, for a few weeks now, returning home from work and looking myself in the mirror,

I realised that my eyeliner spreads over the eyes, especially when my face gets hot and wet.

I finally gave a solution to this problem (a very simple one actually) by applying my eye shadow first

before using the eyeliner.

For more expressive winged eyes, I apply the turquoise eyeliner (instead of the kohl black one)

 along the upper lash line!

Hope this post was helpful! 

Have a nice week, beautiful ones!
