Rainy Sunday Playlist


Photo taken from: Tumblr.


Baš ova kiša navalila, a ja ne mogu ustati iz kreveta koliko sam lijena. U zadnje vrijeme mi se čini kao da samo čekam. Čekam da mi odobre vizu da mogu konačno početi spremati sve svoje stvari u kofer. Cijeli život u jedan kofer. Bit će teško.

Stoga, evo mojih muzičkih prijedloga za lijeno nedjeljno kišno poslijepodne. Zaboravite na život i uživajte u ovoj umjetnosti zvanoj muzika.

This rain just keeps on falling and I can't get out of my bed because I'm so lazy. Lately, I have been just sitting and waiting. Wating for my visa application to be approved so I can finally start to pack all of my stuff into suitcase. Whole life into one suitcase. It's going to be hard. 

So, here are some music suggestions for a lazy rainy sunday afternoon. Forget the life for one moment and enjoy this beautiful art form that music is. 

Tycho - Melanine


Damien Rice - Delicate


Iron & Wine - Passing Afternoon

Ben Howard - Only Love

City and Colour  - The Great Optimist

Claude Debussy - Clair de Lune

The Smiths - Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want

Yo La Tengo - Today is the Day

Noah Gundersen - Oh Death

Simon and Garfunkel - Bookends

Znate kako neke pjesme imaju taj štih - mogu biti slušane kada je vani kiša i to im daje još dodatnu dimenziju. To su one slatko tužne pjesme, nostalgične, često lagane, akustične. Ne znam za vas, ali ja imam plejliste za svaku priliku, mislim da to svi moji prijatelji znaju i nekad im znam ići na živce. Ali što ću, ja vam stvarno jako volim muziku. 

Ako imate kakvih muzičkih prijedloga, slobodno ih ostavite u komentarima. Dajem obećanje da ću se vratiti s konkretnijim postovima uskoro, samo čekam da ovo s Australijom prođe. 

You know how some songs have that thing - they can be listened to when outside is pouring rain and that gives them extra dimension. They are sweet sad songs, nostalgic, slow, acoustic. I don't know about you, but I have playlist for every occasion, my friends know that and sometimes I get on their nerves because of that. But what can I say, I really do enjoy music. 

If you have some songs to suggest, feel free to leave it in the comments. I promise I'll return to my normal posts soon, when all this Australia stuff gets sorted out.

Look Fantastic Beauty Box December 2014

Yeah, beauty box from December of 2014. Thanks to the lovely service of Look Fantastic and our post offices. Let's get this negative stuff to come out first so we can continue with this review. So, "quick" service and Lord & Berry Silk Kajal...wait, there's no Lord & Berry Silk Kajal. But there's their Lipgloss in colour... oh wait, there's no colour. It's clear. Clear lipgloss. What should I do with that? Am I 12 years old?

Da, beauty box od prosinca 2014. godine. Zahvaljujući divnoj dostavi Look Fantastic web stranice i našoj pošti. Pa da odmah skinem s vrata ovu negativu tako da možemo lijepo nastaviti. Dakle, "brza" dostava i Lord & Berry Silk Kajal olovka za oči... ne ne, čekajte, nema te olovke. Ali ima njihovo sjajilo u nijansi... ne ne, čekajte, nema nijanse. Prozirno je. Prozirno bezbojno sjajilo. Što da ja radim s tim? Imam li opet 12 godina?

That's the negative stuff, out of the way. Let's move to the positive. I'm really glad that some sort of beauty boxes which ship to Croatia exist. We've been waaay behind those and lately, I've been feeling left out. But Look Fantastic sorted that out and now we can enjoy beauty boxes like all the other normal bloggers in the world. This one is even more special - it's comes with the price tag of 15£ which is totally ridiculous when you think about it. You get a good amount of products for the price, some of them are full size(which is always a plus) and some of them are deluxe samples(so you can use them multiple times and, maybe, decide to buy a full size). 

I to bi bilo sve negativno što imam za reći. Idemo se maknuti na pozitivne strane. Drago mi je da postoji neka vrsta beauty boxa koja se može dostavljati u Hrvatsku. Dugo smo već zaostajali za takvim vrstama kutija i u zadnje vrijeme sam se osjećala totalno zakinuto. Look Fantastic nam je odlučio zato pružiti super priliku da i mi uživamo u beauty boxovima kao i svi ostali normalni blogeri ovog svijeta. Ovaj beauty box je još i posebniji radi cijene - naime, dođe 150 kuna, što je u biti totalno smiješno s obzirom na to što dobivate. Neki proizvodi dolaze u svom punom pakiranju (što je uvijek plus), dok su neki od njih veliki testeri (što znači da ih možete koristiti ipak malo više i, možda, odlučiti se na kupnju). 



In December edition of Look Fantastic we have


  • Macadamia Oil Infused Comb
  • Bourjois Intense Smoky Eye Trio
  • Lord & Berry Silk Kajal / Or in my case Lord & Berry Clear Lipgloss
  • Pure Gold Collagen 50 ml
  • Elemis Papaya Enzyme Peel 15ml
  • Murad Essential-C Cleanser 45ml
  • Ole Henriksen Pure Truth Youth Activating Oil 15ml
  • £10 off voucher for Coggles 


Boujoirs Intense Smoky Trio

I can see myself using this very often. The shades are quite versatile and will suit every skintone and eye colour. Boujoirs is one of my favourite drugstore brands and I'm glad that they are represented in this box. 

Mogu se vidjeti kako koristim ovaj trio vrlo često. Nijanse su vrlo prilagodljive i odgovarat će svakom tonu kože, kao i boji očiju. Bourjois je jedan od mojih najdražih drogerijskih brendova i drago mi je da se nalaze u ovom beauty boxu. 


Macadamia Healing Oil Infused Comb

I've read about these type of combs for so long and now I finally have a chance to try one. They are designed to detangle your hair with a little help from natural oils. I have really weird curly tangled hair, with natural frizz, so help in that department is much needed. 

Čitala sam o ovakvoj vrsti češlja već neko vrijeme i sad konačno imam priliku i isprobati jedan. Napravljeni su da raščešljavaju zapetljanju kosu, uz pomoć prirodnih ulja. Ja inače imam jako čudnu frćkavu zapetljanju kosu, tako da mi je svaka pomoć dobrodošla. 


Pure Gold Collagen 

Okay, so, I had to get a little help from Look Fantastic for this one. They say: 
 "Pure Gold Collagen is a liquid food supplement that improves the skin's appearance by working from within, counteracting the ageing process from the deep layers of your skin. Enriched with a special blend of natural ingredients, it re-activates the formation of collagen to give your brighter, plumper and more youthful looking skin."
It's a 10 day programme which means you have drink 10 of these in order for them to fully work. Nevertheless, I will give it a try with this one bottle just to see how it tastes. Who knows, maybe I'll magically become younger. Fingers crossed. 

 Za ovo sam morala posavjetovati Look Fantastic stranicu, pa kažu:
"Pure Gold Collagen je tekući dodatak prehrani koji poboljšava izgled kože, radeći iznutra, suzbijajući proces starenja iz dubokih slojeva vaše kože. Obogaćen posebnom mješavinom prirodnih sastojaka, reaktivira stvaranje kolagena kako bi vašoj koži dali svijetliji, zategnutiji i mladenački izgled."
Ovo je desetodnevni program, što znači kako bi djelovalo, trebala bih popiti ovakvih 10 bočica kroz 10 dana. Svejedno, ja ću iskoristiti i ovu jednu, da vidim kakvog je okusa. I tko zna, možda ću magično postati mlađa. Držim fige. 


Elemis Papaya Enzyme Peel

Famous brand I've always wanted to try. This mask is described as a cream peel exfoliator which contains fruit enzymes (papaya and pineapple). It will bright and smooth your skin, leaving it moisturised and remineralised. 

Poznati brend kojeg sam uvijek htjela probati. Ova maska je opisana kao kremasti piling koji sadrži voćne enzime papaje i ananasa. Navodno će ostaviti vašu kožu zaglađenom, nahranjenom i remineraliziranom. Živi bili pa vidjeli!


Murad Essential - C Cleanser

Cleanser that contains Vitamin C and helps to soothe the skin, as well to restore the moisture. Never enough good cleansers, in my opinion. 

Gel za čišćenje lica koji sadrži vitamin C i pomaže umiriti kožu, isto tako ju ostavlja nahranjenom. Nikad dosta ovakvih proizvoda, po mom mišljenju. 



Ole Henriksen Pure Truth Youth Activating Oil

Well, this small bottle is my favourite so far. I've always wanted to try out some Ole Henriksen products. And I'm glad that this product is my first. This oil is actually an anti - aging treatment which deeply penetrates your skin. It helps to heal, nourish and hydrate your skin. And the smell of it is lovely. I will use it before I go to sleep, along with my Oriflame True Perfection Night Cream. 

Ova mala bočica je moj apsolutni favorit jer sam oduvijek htjela isprobati neke Ole Henriksen proizvode. I drago mi je da je baš ovo ulje prvo. To je u biti tretman protiv starenja koji pri nanošenju duboko ulazi u vašu kožu i pritom ju hrani, hidratizira i pomaže pri njezinom zacijelivanju. Miris je isto divan. Koristit ću ovo ulje prije spavanja, zajedno s mojom Oriflame True Perfection noćnom kremom. 


Lord & Berry Lipgloss

Not much to say here. I was expecting Silk Kajal and I got this. They've probably ran out of Silk Kajals and threw in one of their lipglosses. But clear lipgloss? Come on, really! What to do with this? Does anyone have any DIY recipes on how to add colour to lipgloss? Can I use pigments and just mix them inside?

Što reći, koju posluku porati. Očekivala sam Silk Kajal olovku za oči, ali dobila sam ovo. Vjerojatno im je ponestalo olovaka i onda su ubacili njihovo sjajilo. Ali ovo prozirno sjajilo? Što da radim s tim? Ima li tko kakvih DIY recepata kako dodati boje u bezbojno sjajilo? Mogu li koristiti pigmente i samo ih umiješati unutra? 



All in all, I'm very pleased with box and I have to thank my friend Marija who bought it to me as a birthday present. My friends know me really well, I got a whole lot of make up this year and I'm so thankful to have such good friends in my life. 

Sve u svemu, vrlo sam zadovoljna s ovom kutijicom i moram se zahvaliti svojoj prijateljici Mariji koja ju je i kupila za mene, povodom mog rođendana. Moji prijatelji me stvarno poznaju dobro, dobila sam hrpetinu šminke ove godine i stvarno sam zahvalna na tako dobrim prijateljima. 

What do you think about beauty boxes? 
Have you orderd this one? Thoughts about products?
Who's going to order January Look Fantastic Beauty Box? I'm considering, but I'm not sure if it will make it until I ran away to Down Under. 

Talk to you soon!

Što mislite o beauty boxovima?
Jeste li naručivali ovaj? Mišljenja o proizvodima?
Tko će naručivati onaj za siječanj? Ja još razmišljam, jer nisam sigurna hoće li stići do mene prije nego što odlepršam van države, dolje u toplije i sretnije krajeve. 

Do čitanja, 

Tamelie

Bath & Body Works Goodies

I tako ova 2015. godina totalno brzo prolazi. Već je prošlo 8 novih dana u kojima sam čak i uspjela ostvariti nešto od onih svojih novogodišnjih odluka. Krećem se koliko toliko više i prestala sam trpati zla u sebe. Odlučila sam pokušati i nešto novo - tipkati i na engleskom jeziku. Već mi je vrijeme da vježbam engleski, a i možda s time uspijem privući neke strane publike.

Aaaand, this year 2015 is going by so fast. It's already been 8 new days in which I already feel acomplished regarding my New Year's resolutions. I'm moving as mush as I can and I've stopped eating evil candy food. I've also decided to try something new - to write in English. It's about time that I start using this language and with that, maybe I can get some new readers. If you are new, welcome stranger. Thank you for stopping by. 

Nedavno se moja najbolja prijateljica Biljana vratila iz Dubaija i donijela mi je super slatke poklončiće iz Bath & Body Works trgovine. Do sada sam o njima samo mogla čitati kod stranih blogerica i maštati preko interneta. Znala sam da imaju odlične mirisne losione za tijelo i oduvijek sam htjela isprobati koji. Zahvaljujući mojoj najkul prijateljici, sad imam i priliku. Jeeeej!

Recently, my BFF Biljana went to Dubai and brought me a bag of Bath & Body Works goodies. So far, I could only read about their products through other bloggers and drool over them via their official website. I knew they have lovely perfumed body lotions and I've always wanted to try one. Thanks to my friend, I finally have a chance. Yaaaay! 


Winter Citrus Wreath & Cotton Candy Bliss PocketBac size
anti - bacterial hand gels - for all us freaks that adore killing germs.
Winter Citrus Wreath has lovely fresh and citrusy Christmas smell, while 
Cotton Candy Bliss is more like fruity girly type of smell. Either way, 
I fell in love immediately in both of them. They will be ideal for 
travelling. If they last until I hit the road :D 






Autumn Mums Candle - Gorgeous packaging, ideal for small spaces. 
The scent is just beautiful, you can feel the mums and, also, 
a hint of sandalwood and berries. 




Moonlight Path Body Lotion - Signature Collection
The store says that the key fragnance notes are:
French Lavender, Lily of the Valley, Oakmoss and Musk.
It smells amazing, musky + milky, I don't know how to explain it
but it sure isn't fruity or flowery. And the smell lingers on and on and on. 



Malo je reći da sam super sretna i da je 2015. počela savršeno. Uskoro ću i tipkati o novim kremama koje isprobavam zadnjih mjesec dana. Radi se o Oriflame True Perfection dnevnoj i noćnoj kremi. A i planiram se više pozabaviti samim stvaranjem nekih lookova. Vrijeme je da usavršim umijeće stavljanja eyelinera :D

All in all, I'm super happy and 2015 had a great start. Soon I will write a post about my new face routine which includes Oriflame True Perfection day and night moisturizer. But also, I plan to mix things up a little bit and create some looks. It's about time to perfect my eyeliner skills :D

Jeste li vi probali možda Bath & Body Works proizvode?
Ako da, koji su vam najdraži?
Ako ne, postoje li neke alternative kod nas za svijeće, losione i nešto ovakvog tipa?
Što mislite o tipkanju na engleskom?

Tipkajmo si!

Have you tried some Bath & Body Works products?
If yes, which one are your favourites?
If no, what alternatives do you recommend for this types of products?
And what do you think about typing in English?

Let's talk!
