For the love of bellflowers

I simply love bellflowers. They are my inspiration in creating a jewelry. They are so delicate, yet strong. Divine. ;)
These are from my mom's garden.

Testing new beauty products: Burt's Bees lipstick



I'm allready thrilled over the Burt's Bees goodies that are natural and this time I ran across their new products – lipsticks! 


The packaging is tantalizing! I love the beehive immitation on the lid, combination of colours of the packaging and the shade of the lipstick on the lid. Fantastic!
Since I'm a sucker for magenta this summer ;) I decided to test the »Magenta rush« shade first.
This lipstick is pure spa for your lips! ;) It's nicely moisturising, it keeps your lips moist and soft all day and features natural ingredients such as Beeswax, Moringa Oil, Raspberry seed Oil and Vitamin E! I'm allergic to bees, but this product is safe to use, it doesn't contain bee's poison.  
The package by the way is recyclable!  

Burt's Bees products in USA are available in Target stores, in Europe you can find them in Müller (German site) stores.
Check their web page https://www.burtsbees.co.uk/ and do treat yourself with the best that nature can offer ;) Oh and 10% of your purchase will be donated to The British Bee Keeping Association

I'm lookin forward to reading your comments about how satisfied you are with Burt's Bees beauty products! I definitely am!

My sweet tooth ;)



I love Mondays and I always can't wait to get back to Ljubljana. I simply love this small city that used to be the whole world to me when I moved in as a student. Wow, 15 years allready. Almost half of my life! ;)
I love spending quality time for myself, but I also love going out. The old part of Ljubljana is just attractive, picturesque and vibrant with a lot of great places for your sweet tooth ;)
If you love Macarons as much as I do, then you really need to visit Café / Bistro / Deli Zvezda in the heart of Ljubljana. They have the most delicious pastry.



These flavours are my top picks. Vanilla, pistachio and rose. Enjoy! ;)

Testing beauty products: L'Angelica


Have you ever tried any L'Angelica beauty products? First thing I bought was a toothpaste for my grandma and she was thrilled over it. She loved the freshness in her mouth ;) I admit I have been looking and was curious to try their products myself as well, but never really decided to, untill I got them for a gift.

First I've tried the shower gel with Argan oil  (← click the link) and I loved the smell so much, I continued using it every day. I noticed that the skin feels softer as well. Even my man loved it! So much, that when we ran out of it, he went to buy a new bottle himself ;) Since then, there's always one in our shower! We love it! As well as we love the fact that it's paraben free, petrolatum free, silicon free and GMOs free! We're going to try all the scents and I'll let you know if this one with Argan oil is still my number one.

Then I tried the camomille shampoo and conditioner 2 in1 (← click the link). I was really sceptic, because my hair is quite long, around 1m, and when hair is that long, it gets tangled very quickly which means it will take a loooooong time to comb it. However, my hair was so soft after using this shampoo and I loved the smell as well as well as the fact that the shampoo is paraben free, petrolatum free, silicon free and GMOs free!

Because of the lenghth, I use the argan oil for hair as well and I promise, I will write a review about which oil I prefer, so you are welcome to check my posts. ;)

If you are worried about animal testing, I'm not sure about the L'Angelica products, but I believe they are not blacklisted, but do test some ingredients on animals, so I think they are in grey zone. For more informations check the PETA's list of cruelty free cosmetics (← click the link). 

If you have any questions, write them in comments, I will gladly reply as soon as I can. Any comments about the beauty products are welcome!

Testing beauty products: Le Petit Olivier



Since my allergy problems started, I realized I do have to start to care about my body more. Since I love the colors and the smells of the nature ;) I started exploring beauty products that are as natural as they can be.
I came across the Le Petit Olivier beauty products and instantly became fan of it.


All products are available in their web store, just click the link for each to check the price and order.



The packaging is appealing as well as the fact that ingredients are 100% organic! No parafinne or parabens added!
The lip balm really keeps your lips moist and soft all day! The regenerating night balm nicely nourish and moisturise your skin while you sleep! And the oil…the oil is magnificent, something the most luxurious thing you can give to your own body. Not just the face, but whole body and the hair!
My hair is quite long, it's 1m in lenghth and I'm keeping it that way for the last few years. Thus the care is really important. Since I've had a rough last few years and spent a lot of time in bed because of health complications and operation and I just couldn't spoil my body the way it should be, so I'm trying to make up for the deficit during those years ;)
In Europe, you can find their products in drugstores or DM (German site). For more information where you can buy Le Petit Olivier, contact them. If you order online, you get 10% off for your fist purchase, with the code that is written on their site. If you create your account, you can also benefit from their loyality programme.

Have you tried Le Petit Olivier products allready? I'd be happy to hear how satisfied you are with them, so feel free to comment! And don't forget… do love yourself! ;)
