The temps have dropped and it's finally starting to feel like Autumn! The edges of the leaves are turning golden outside my window and the air is getting colder and colder everyday.
Now is the perfect time to upgrade my routine, much like a change of wardrobe to suit the seasonal changes, and add more nourishing and hydrating products to my rotation. With the radiators turning on inside and the crispy breeze outdoors, my dry skin needs some extra love or else it'll start to look parched and flakey. Enter this Paula's Choice duo that made my hearth flutter from the very first application.
It's that time of the year again, when my favourite products hit the shelves at Lush and the smell of everything cosy and spicy fills my home. This year's Halloween collection is super colourful and full of variety, with a mix of old favourites and fun new additions peaking from the counter. After a lot of thinking and sniffing around, I decided to grab two pieces that perfectly represent the two sides of this cheerful festivity.
My favourite part of summer is here at last - the mid-September days that smell like the beginning of Fall, when Pumpkin Spice Lattes come back at Starbucks and the Halloween collection appears on the shelves at Lush. Now that the scorching heat is a distant memory it's easier to look back and appreciate the things that I enjoyed during this hellish season. Have I mentioned that I dislike summer with a passion yet?
It might be the cold and the smell of rain in the air that make me want to bundle up, stay cosy inside and daydream about all the beauty bits I'd like to buy, but I think today is the perfect day to share my current wishlist.
Even if January usually gets a bad rap for being the longest, slowest, most depressing month of the year, I'm not going to complain as it's been a few good weeks for me. I stayed cosy and took it slow, but also started working on a few goals for the new year. It's all about getting the balance right, I think, and finding nice things along the way that keep you happy and inspired. Here are three things that brightened my days.
I'm just as keen to leave 2020 behind and never look back as anyone else, but before I can turn the page and focus on the good things that New Year will hopefully bring, I'm sure a good ol' beauty recap won't hurt. In retrospect, 2020 has been an odd one for obvious reasons, mostly focused on self care and skin products with some makeup bits here and there for those 'feel better' looks meant to boost the mood more than anything. Of all the beauty bits I've tried for the first time and those that were already well loved, these are the ones that stood out the most.
Between two lockdowns, the Holidays and the weather lately, I feel like I'm turning into a proper couch-potato and it seems I may have reached the deepest regions of Netflix where the weird movies are. The silver lining is, however, that I've accumulated enough experience to start a new career as TV critic in the new year.
Today I'm sharing some recent favourite watches in case you need some inspiration.
