Special Post: My New Workout Routine

Hey there! I'm with a very special post this time, which is about my new workout routine. 
I was always skinny, but these days I just don't feel comfortable in my own body. Since the summer vacation has started, I have been just eating, eating and eating. This is definitely not good. 

I kinda wanna get my "old" body back, so I was searching for a good workout app. Then I found Nike Training Club (Google Play//AppStore) available for free, so I downloaded it. 


Just just click on 'Get Workout' (after your registration, of course) and it will take you to another page when you can choose which form of workout would you like to use.


I'm currently using the 'Get Focused' part, which has more chapters.


Today picked the 'Better Butt' exercise, which is a 15 minute long exercise focused on your back side. Trust me or not - I was dead! 


Then you just push the 'Do Workout' button and you do the exercises. You can also play the video.


That's it about the app, now let's more on to the eating routine. There will not be any diet or something since this could cause some troubles. I don't want that. But there are some things I have to get rid of.

What I definitely cannot eat: sweets (except my chunky monkey),  anything fried (will be completed)

What I should eat instead: fish, more fruit&vegetables, pasta, mommy's warm soup

What I shouldn't (eat/drink) but it's a part of me: chunky monkey, coffee

+ doing an exercise every day (30 min) & a random exercise
No eating after 8PM. 

What I want is to get slimmer thighs and a flat belly!



I'll be back with an update in 2 weeks (or maybe even sooner).

Hair Update: Lenght Check, Routine & Hair Care!

Hello cherry drops! This post was really requested, that's why I decided to do it (why would I write about my hair, I mean - who cares?!). Since you wanted this, there you go!

So, I kinda wanna start off with my hair story. When I was little, I always used to wear short hair. My mom never wanted me to have long hair, I have no idea why. Then at 5th grade I told myself that I want long hair! It took me 7 years! Now I'm here - with long hair (68cm).


I've been coloring my hair since I was 12 (yes, that's quite sad). I remember when I mom colored my hair blonde! I liked it so much (however it looked horrible) but then on the next day I totally had to color my hair brown, since I had some trouble at my school (lameee).
Since then I've been choosing between black and brown until now, since I ombred my hair, twice. 

This is exactly the color of my new ombre!

Here it looks way too dark!

When it comes to trimming, I always trim my hair at home! I trim my hair every 3 weeks. On the other hand - when it comes to hair care, I don't tend to care about my hair too much. I only use a conditioner and a shampoo (of course). I use a different shampoo every month, but I try to stick with the conditioner (although I need to buy a brand new one this time). My conditioner is for blonde hair (since the ombre part is blonde). I wash my hair every single day and I also straighten it twice a day!
I don't use a heat protection spray or anything, but I sometime tend to use one from Nivea. 


I definitely want to care about my hair more, since I want to re-ombre my hair once again (before the school starts). This I I would love to use the lightest shade from L'Oreal Wild Ombres collection. There will be an update for that.



That would be it for today's post. I really hope you liked it.

Mini Clothing Haul & More!

Hey there everyone!
I haven't done a clothing haul for a while so I thought I could just share with you my latest purchases. This will be just a mini haul of two dresses I recently got. 

This is kinda off the point, but I've been thinking a lot about re-making this blog a little bit. I love everything beauty-related but I'll be posting many many OOTD posts soon so this blog might end up as a fashion blog, haha! We'll see.


Okay, so the first thing that a got is a beautiful red dress from New Yorker. It's sheer on the top and then is has a 'heart' cut-out, which I absolutely love! It's actually a warm dress so I can wear it during the fall time as well!


This week I finally got my dress in a mail! I ordered this one from Jus d'Orange, and I must say that I don't regret my pick at all! Since it's a vintage dress, I think I'll sleep in it, too, haha! It has a 'heart' cut-out as well as the first dress, and since this one is more of a soft kind dress, I can style it however I want!


And last but not least we have some jewelry piece - an ultra edgy ring from Gate and a nail polish from Flormar in the shade 239. I think this color totally goes with the red dress!


That would be it for today, I'll see you all very soon.

Summer Reading: It's time for some Magazines (my TOP picks)

Hey guys! I wanted today's post to be kinda different (by different I mean non-beauty, more of a fashion post), and since the summertime has finally come, I'm sure a lot of you guys have some spare time which means you need to find something something fun to do. 
Okay, so basically today's post is going to be about my all time favorite magazines I buy every month!

During the summertime I also like to search for the older issues, since they have some interesting articles I haven't read yet, that's why I'm showing you these today.


Honestly, this post is not completely fashion-related since these magazines contain a few beauty articles as well! Some of these are life style-related, which is not really my favorite part, but anyways...
If you're a fahion junkie (literally) Top Fashion magazine is a great choice for you! The magazine has no life style articles, only fashion-related. You can basically see many fashion show captures, latest fashion trends, outfit ideas, how-to-pair pages and more! The whole magazine also looks like a book, really! It's thick and huuuge. The magazine is available in US as well. 

Another choice for fashion junkies is Vogue (of course...). Who doesn't like Vogue? This magazine is like the second FashionTV! Do you know what else I like about it? These amazing photoshoot outtakes! Oh my... The magazine is available worldwide. 


If you're a beauty junkie as well as a fashion junkie and you still want to know the current fashion trends, Harper's Bazaar is here just for you! I think this is the second favorite magazine of mine (the first one is Vogue, of course...) because it contains everything you need. You can also read something about celebs, in case you're interested. The magazine is available in US and Britain.

When it comes to In Style, I'd say this is the second Harper's Bazaar! These two have almost the same style, but In Style has more fashion articles! This magazine is available in US as well as in Britain.


Then we have magazines like Eva and Emma - these two are available only in Slovakia. I personally love both! They are amazing since they have a lot of interesting photoshoot pages, many beauty/fashion articles as well as some life style ones. 

Last but not least there's ELLE, available worldwide. I tend to buy the Czech version, but I also have some British versions, too. I totally have to say that the first version is a mash up (fashion, beauty, celebs, life style) while the second version is more of a fashion/beauty related. This totally sucks, and I kinda hate our version for that. 



What are your favorite magazines? Definitely share them with me, I'd love to know. 
I hope you liked today's post.

My Everyday Makeup Routine!

Heyyyyyyyyy everyone! 
I woke up this morning, turned on my WiFi and checked my Instagram, and I saw so many great nail tutorials! This is so off the point, I know, but I definitely want to re-create them so I thought I could also do a post on how to easily achieve them! Interested? Let me know! I have so many plans for the upcoming week! But I don't want to talk about it, just not yet, haha!



Well, as the title says, today's post will be all about my current makeup routine. I want to mention, that my routine changes all the time! You wouldn't believe how often. Sometimes I like to switch up the products that I'm about to show you. I don't use everything at the same time, I just like to mix these products up! But anyways, these are just the things I'm currently using on daily basis.

I'd say let's start off with the FACE part. At first, I like to use my Essence concealer under my eye area and then I apply my foundation. Right now I'm in love with Maybelline BB Cream - it's light and perfect for the summer time. 


When I'm done with the foundation, I gotta set it with my Rimmel Stay Matte powder, which is my all time favorite!
If I feel like adding a bronzer or a blush, I tend to use my ELF duo.




Moving on to the EYES part, I always start off with my Lancome brow pencil. Then I use my Essence eyeshadow base and the very first color from my NAKED2 palette, which is called Foxy. 


Then I grab an all over eyeshadow brush and I apply the lighter pink color from my Dior palette to my outter half of my eye. After that I go back to my NAKED2 palette and I use the last eyeshadow, which is in the shade Blackout. I apply this to my outter corner with a fluffy brush.


To make the look dramatic, I apply my ultimate favorite eyeliner which has to look really edgy, haha! And the last eye-step would be a mascara - I'm currently swimming between The Rocket from Maybelline and the Scandaleyes from Rimmel!



Last but not least - LIPS part is my favorite one! I'm crazy about these three lipsticks - Silky Sensual from Yves Saint Laurent, Riveting Rose from MAC and Lo'R Electric from L'Oreal! The first one is a beautiful nude color and since this is a high-end brand, the quality is amazing! The second color is creamy pink, really pigmented! And the last color is a dramatic shimmery brown color, excellent for the night time.





I really hope you liked this post. Make sure to come back tomorrow for some pictures! I wanted to take some today, but I'm not even wearing makeup (just a tiny bit of a mascara) since I'm feeling sick.

Things I would never purchase again!

Hey birdies! 
Today  have another new-ish post for all of you! I never meant to do a post like this, since I always try to pick the best makeup goodies for myself. Well, sometimes I pick the wrong ones - and today's post is all about bad choices.
I want to share with you some things I personally don't like and I would never ever buy them again! I've already tried to like them (and sometimes I'm still trying) but...well.



I also wanted to mention, the fact that I don't like them doesn't have to be the same for you. Maybe these things would be perfect for you! 



The first things I want to mention today is this Catrice eyeshadow palette. I personally like this brand, they have amazing deals and stuff, but I was quite sad when I realised, that these colors are really not pigmented! On the picture I applied an eyeshadow base underneath them, but they are just still not as much pigmented as my other eyeshadows. The first two colors are quite okay, but the rest is just a nightmare.

Essence nails polishes are well-known for their quality. Let's face it - the colors are beautiful but when it comes to quality, they suck! I have only these two colors from this collection and I'm sure I won't purchase any more. Some of them are really pretty so it kinda hurts my feelings, haha! On the other hand, Rimmel nail polishes are just amazing!

 I don't know what I was looking for when I ordered this 'stick' thing from ELF, but I was probably drunk, haha! (I'm just kidding, of course). This thing can be used as a lipstick as well as a blush, but it feels really dry are it doesn't smell good at all. 

I'm a huge lipstick person, but this one was a really bad choice. You can't even see that I'm wearing a lipstick! It smells good and everything, but if you can see it, it's not worth it. I also tried to layer it, but it didn't help. Well, sorry honey. The lipstick is from Miss Sporty, by the way.

This thing is the worst of all things I mentioned so far - from NYC! It supposed to be a concealer (at least I think so). It's way too creamy, it leaves your face cakey and it doesn't look natural! I definitely hate this!

Last but not least we have a body lotion from KAPPA which was a gift. I used it a few times but I end up not liking it. I feel like it's too watery, which sucks since it dries out your skin. I gave it to mom, she seems to like it more than I do. 


I hope you liked this post. Happy weekend, everyone!
