The Smell Of Summer

Hello everyone :)

This is the last week that I'm working!

This means that my internship as a journalist is finally over..

It was a long journey and I've learned much more than I expected 

but now the summer is here and I'm ready to forget all about work and relax!

I went to kinetta this weekend and I got a small taste of the summer :)

I miss so much the sea and the sand, I love making castles.

Sometimes I feel like the winter stayed too long...

I'm so ready to wear all my summer clothes, to buy a new bikini and to get a tan.

So do you have plans for this summer?

What is your favorite season?

New WIG + Outfit Post!

Hello everyone!!

My wig just came! I'm SO freakin happy you really cannot imagine!!!

The only 40$ well spent like ever! ok?

WIG:

FreeTress Equal Hair Lace Front Wig - MILLY (4" Deep Invisible Part Lace)

 Just look at this beauty! I mean I use flash in all of these shots and this is all the shine it gives out. If that's not impressive I don't know what is really. I've been wearing it around the house and outside as well all day! It's really light-weight and the hair feels like real. I've already shown it to all my friends and we all agree that we didn't know what a good synthetic wig was until now.

I don't know if you can tell the colors all that well because i have non existent photo skills and most of the photos came out blurry, bad quality etc. It has dark roods and lighter brown highlights making the wig even more natural. It tangles less than my real hair (when I have them straight of course).

Also about the outfit, this is the new dress I got from a local store. And I'm pretty much in love with this as well. Now all I have to do is find excuses to wear this dress and this wig. 

Also I managed to get a picture with Ella as you can see where we both look cute but alas the quality is hideous but I'll take what I can get with this kitten.

What I love about this dress (apart from the pattern and the fullness) is the back, I took a photo of the back which came out like this:

Well I am not sure how I feel about the fact that every set of pictures seems to be taken by different cameras, like I've taken the firsts couple of photos yesterday, then the next photos 2 years ago and the last photos 7 years ago or something..

I'll write a full review of the wig in another post with much more detailed pictures!

WIG Info:
Bought from EBay
Official page
color: OP4/30

So! What do you think?? Have you ever bought a wig as lovely as this and in that price range? (if so let me know)

AliExpress Dresses Review

Hello everyone :)

I recently bought 2 dresses from AliExpress and since many people complain about the quality of the products and the credibility of the sellers I decided to make a review!
So these are the original photos of the dresses I purchased.

Here are the dresses I received.

As you can see they are the same dresses as in the photo above..

I really don't feel deceived, the communications with the seller was decent and I'm really happy that the colors are so vibrant, although I thought that the pink dress would be more like a baby pink rather than purple pink.

And this is me wearing the dresses.
I was extremely afraid that they would be too small for me(although I wear size 36, 8 in UK) so I bought the medium size.
I really loved the blue and green dress because it looks retro and fun..

Now for the pink dress I have to say that I'm a little disappointed I choose medium size cause it's too big in my waist.

I know it doesn't seem too big on me but I'm totally sure that if I had chosen the small one it would fit perfectly.

Overall I believe that buying dresses form AliExpress was really simple
and doesn't involve any risk as long as you see the ratings of the seller.
I definitely gonna buy again dresses form this site cause the quality isn't bad and the prices are really low.

Outfit & Hair Update!

Hello everyone!

It's been a while since you've last seen my face and I'm just glad to be back to blogging again :D

Lately I've been really busy with school (I know I've said that numerous times)

But anyway, this post is about hair.

As you can see from the photos, I've decided to let my hair fade to this cute light pink color for summer (well  it's inevitable since sun fades them anyway).

And so far I'm loving it!

And that's the outfit, I'm wearing my brand new shirt from Primark! It's so cute!

And yes I know the angle of the photo on the left makes my head look super huge compared to my body. Like a big pink potato head but that was all I got!.

I'm really liking how my hair turned out. Although the bangs are close to a white color, in the photos it looks like it's an effect of the lighting but trust me, my hair aren't that shiny, they are just whiter in some areas and obviously darker at the ends.

Another great thing about this set of photos is the fact that the orange bits in my hair won't show at all. YAY! Wish that was happening in real life too...

On other news, we are taking regularly Ella out for walk and I think it's the best idea ever 'cause after she's pretty much exhausted and we can pet her without mercy! (I'm not even sorry).

And a question for you all!

Would you put your pets on raw diet?? I'm thinking of putting Ella on raw diet since I've learned how damaging dry food is for our pets but I would love some input from people that have tried it (like recipes etc)

-I'll write more about this in a next post-

Ella Got Her Wings!

Hello everyone :)

today's post is dedicated to Ell, our little kitten that since we found her is always on trouble!

Her favorite thing is jumping off balconies and she has become good at this..

So we bought her a pair of wings..

The pink color doesn't really match her personality since she's an independent woman(like her owners) and she is as affectionate as an ox..

No no I'm just kidding, she is affectionate but since she is a little kitten she's full of energy and it's almost impossible for her to stay in one place for long!

Now we can only hope that her new wings will protect her from jumping off balconies again..

Isn't she lovely?

Ice Skating For Beginners

Hello everyone :)

Today it was a lovely sunny day so we decided to go for ice skating (obviously spring it's the best season for ice skating..)

We are not so good at this sport, especially me(actually I'm not good at any sport)

so we were really lucky that none else was there and we avoided the humiliation..

Efi took those photos because she is the only one who we trust to hold the camera on ice!

It's quite socking that every time I forget how cold this place is 

and although I had in mind to put something warm I totally ignored myself..

I also tent to forget all the basic staff about ice skating..

• wear comfortable and warm clothes(don't forget the socks)
• bring gloves
• start slowly and try to maintain your balance by bending your knees.
• don't look down because you're gonna lose your balance

These are the basic rules I've learned and I should remember next time..

Have you ever been ice skating?

Do you think it's easy?

The Terror Of Capitalism

Hello everyone,

as you may know I'm doing my internship as a journalist and today I had a huge task.

I was responsible for the video editing of the Bangladesh footage..

For more than an hour I had to look at uncut videos of the ruins including dead bodies and people crying or yelling for help.

I started to sweat when I heard people inside the ruins pleading for help.

It has become publicly known that this factory had large  cracks and it was ready to collapse but still the workers were not allowed to leave..

So it's quite obvious that the huge corporations that used those people and treated them worse than slaves have full responsibility for this tragedy since they knew that the building was a ticking bomb!

We pretend that we don't know that slaves still exist, we pretend that we don't hear the voices of the people starving and dying.

Ignoring the problem is not the solution, this monstrosity has to stop now.

Capitalism has won today and has cost the lives of 200 workers but we can still raise our voices against injustice cause everyday is a battle!
