MY SKIN CARE ROUTINE

Acne, scars, hiperpigmentation, etc. I have a lot of problems with these things so I'm very delicate with my skin routine. I don't spend like an absurd amount of money for my cleansing product however I do try to search it online and see any reviews other that can help me with my purchase.

I try to find drug store products and see if they work rather than buying a creme for 20 or more € and in the end you see it doesn't actually fits your skin. 

So I start my skin routine with a Clean&Clear shine control cleanser. I used it to get ride of all the oil and dirt  that has formed on my face during the night. It is a nice cleanser and a very affordable one too :D. It lives that nice clean filling but it also dry's out my skin a little bit.

But no problem cuz the next product balances pH on my skin. That is non other than Bioderma sensible h2o. 

On every other or third day I also use my Essence Cream wash. I don't like to use it too often but every other day it's just the perfect frequency. I like these product because it seriously cleans what my wash before didn't. And if I have the time I leave it on my face for a bit longer and it works as a great mask. 

And as a last step I moisturise my face with great creams. I still use my nutrogena moisturising one for the face and Terra Naturi for my eyes. :D

HOW TO STAY MOTIVATED TO BE HEALTHY

We all have those days when you a bag of chips or some chocolate and you just wanna say: "OH, I'm so sick of this "trying to be healthy" thing!!". This month I had this thoughts very often. But what really helps me to stay motivated are pictures. Now you'll say what are you talking about Mija.
Well I think a lot of people are visual type. Me for example when I see a photo of a fit and healthy women really gets me thinking. Why shouldn't I be healthy? Why shouldn't I be the best version of myself? And we can be. Sometimes it just takes for us to take a bit of time before you eat everything that's around you.
I don't believe in these diets that deprive you from specific kind of food. Like sweets or carbohydrates.
Everything in moderation I say. And you probably aren't hearing this the first time.  :D

And also if you do sleap up. No worries. Just balance it out with next meal. The only thing you should never do is eat bad and then skip any other meals in that day. That is just unhealthy and if you don't eat anything for a long period of time everything will get stored.

MY LOVE

Can I just say how frustrating it is when I just don't have the time to think about my blog. I've been talking about more regular blogs but I don't know what happens with my time. Time just flys by so fast and there is absolutely no time for me to sit behind my computer and write a concrete post. I hope now that my school year is going to the end and summer break is right around the corner I'll have more free time and I'm sure I'll be posting more.
This blog I wanted to decide to tell you guys about my love. Fashion love that is ;). Yesterday I went shopping with my friend for a wedding dress(she's attending one). And as always I find something for myself. And lately I find it hard to avoid this laid-back cardigans. This time I bought this beige one. It's the perfect thing for summer evenings when you just want something to cover your shoulders so you don't feel chilly.
It was quite a challenge for me to do a photo-shooting for you guys since I had to take pictures by myself. But I wanted to show you my commitment and my dedication to you and I really am trying to improve my blog. :)

HOW TO MAKE CROISSANTS :D

I love to bake!! Seriously ask my mom. If I'm ever alone at home I don't really know what to do I'll bake something. I love food in general. I think it's my dads fault for this. Because he also loves to cook. And when I grew up we used to cook all the time( we still do) :D.
So a think I always wanted to know how to do were croissants. I feel in love with the recipe for them when I watched the movie IT'S COMPLICATED. I love cooking movies. Like this one or JULIE and JULIA.
Anyway this was the second time that I made them. The first time they ended up tasting amazing!!
So what I first did is prepared all my ingredients.

Here you see everything you're gonna need for the dough:

• 1 lb. 2 oz. (4 cups) unbleached all-purpose flour; more for rolling
• 5 oz. (1/2cup plus 2 Tbs.) cold water
• 5 oz. (1/2 cup plus 2 Tbs.) cold whole milk
• 2 oz. (1/4 cup plus 2 Tbs.) granulated sugar
• 1-1/2 oz. (3 Tbs.) soft unsalted butter
• 1 Tbs. plus scant 1/2 tsp. instant yeast
• 2-1/4 tsp. table salt

 Then you combine all the ingredients in a big bowl.

And in a glass I usually mix yeast water and a teaspoon of sugar. And then I just add the mixture into the bowl.

After that all there's left is to mix in into a dough. I use a hand mixer with a dough attachments for it.

After it you just put it into a lightly floured pie pan and cover it well with a plastic. And you have to refregerate it over night.

 The next morning you start by making butter layer. you just cut butter into 1,5 cm thick cubes and form a 10 cm square. And then you just beat it with a rolling pin and place it into refrigerator while you roll out your dough.

Then you put the butter layer on the dough. Please google from here to the part when you get them into the oven because I'm really bad at explaining what to do. Seriously but then after your finished getting them ready you just put them into a warm place for 2 hours.

And after two hours they are ready for baking. Just put them into an oven at 200 C and bake them for 20 min. This time mine didn't come out as they should but they still taste amazing :).

Hope you try because they seriously taste amazing.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!! :)

So yesterday was a special day..I turned 18!!!! Which means I can legally drive a car in my country!!
I can't believe I'm that "OLD" haha :D. Anyway so yesterday was a pretty rough day. Besides having a seminar(I'm doing a course to get a licence to teach children swimming:)) I went on a birthday lunch with my family. We went to a chinese restuarant which is my favorite and since I don't get to go there often I wanted to celebrate my special day there.
As for you guys I wanted to show you what I got for my birthday and also a casual outfit I wore yesterday.:)
My mom decided to buy me a watch that I wanted for the longest time. It is a bit elegante but it also works with my casual/sporty everyday outfits. :D

It's the most beautiful watch I've ever seen. I can't help but where it everywhere. It's seriously the nicest watch ever!! :D

The next thing for you is just wanted to share my birthday outfit. Casual but still a bit put togheter :).

BUSY, BUSY, BUSY OUTFIT TIPS

Now is the most stressful time in all the school year. The last exams are being written. So I know for myself I usually wake up early in the morning an study to last minute.
So I choose what to wear as fast as I can while doing my make-up and eating my breakfast. Yeah I'm probably the champion of being ready so fast you can't imagine. I wanted to share a few tips that help me being ready super fast but still end up look presentable.
Tip number 1 - Always take a few minutes a day before and just look what clothes are clean. This will help you make a decision in the morning.
Tip number 2 - I have my clothes sorted by a sistem. T-shirts on one pile, tank tops on another pile and so on. This is a useful tip. You just look for a bottom part and a t-shirt. It is a nice and easy way not look for every pieces of clothes for an hour.
Tip number 3 -  And the most important tip is. Don't be too frustrated if your outfit doesn't  look too elegant. During finals week everybody looks a bit tired and not to put togheter. Because it's more important to use your time to study than to look glamorous.

LEE STAFFORD ARGAN-OIL REVIEW

Dry hair...I had so much problem with the fact that my hair is so dry because of all the different products I use on them. Until I started to use hair oil. My first oil was Marrocon oil. I loved it. But I like to try different products just because I think it's fun to see what suits you the best.
Anyway. As far as the drug store hair oil goes. I was looking for something not too expensive. I think a lot of hair products are good if you spend some more money on it. But this argain oil was 17€ I believe which is not really that cheap.
It has the texture as any other oil does. But it is scented so it makes your hair smell real nice.
When you apply it on your hair it gives it a nice glow. I usually put it on wet hair so it get's absorbed evenly and more afficiently.

ESSENCE LIP BALM REVIEW - 04 CARIBBEAN SUNRISE

In every wheather of the year my bag essential is a lipbalm. My lips are always up to some moisturazing!! :) But my lips are very sensitive so I can't use any kind of lipbalm. That doesn't mean I have to spend 10 or 15€ for a lipbalm. Because that's just insane :P. I like to try different ones. I liked essence products for quite a while. And lipbalms are one of them. In this Essence collection there are four different lipbalms.
Anyway. Scented lipbalm is just a step higher to make me feel nice and cozy when I'm using it. It really affects me so much. It makes me feel relaxed and calm.
This particular one is an natural one. It does not give your lips any color. It just moisturazes them very nicely.
If I wanted to describe the scent is fruity and fresh. To me it smells like peach.
It really makes your lips feel smooth and fresh.

I really recommend this product. It costs around 2€ so it's super affordable.
