Hello!

So first of all, Merry Christmas! I am so sorry for being mia lately, but I  was just enjoying doing absolutely nothing (movie marathoons for days).. And that's great!

I know that I am quite late with all the essentials for winter, but I think it's better later than never. So I hope you enjoy!

1. Blanket. 
Who doesn't need a cozy and soft blanket to snuggle into on cold, nipping and snowy winter days?

2. Slippers. 
I can't stand walking barefoot because I feel like I am picking all the dirt from the flooring and I love my socks too much to get them dirty and gross ha ha
3. Warm toy. 
Not only you have a cute toy laying near you, but it also keeps you warm! 
4. Socks. 
I have a somewhat obsession with cute socks so I collect them lol

5. Books. 
What can be better than lying in bed with a book in your hands and a cup of coffee/tea by your side? And this leads to another essential...

6. Coffee/Tea. 
I would say these two are essentials all year round:)

7. Thermo mug.
I see that last three essentials are quite related ha ha. A thermo mug is a life saver when it comes to going to school/work early when it is even colder than during the day or when you are running late you can just grab it and drink it on the go:)
I really hope you can find at least a few of these in your winter essentials list:) And please write the ones that I did not mention in the comments down bellow!
As this year is ending, I wish all the negativity and difficulties to also end with this year and 2016 bring success and desired results for you. This New Year may you rediscover yourself and emerge as a more confident and contented soul! (x)

Hello,

I don't know if you have noticed, but I  haven't been posting as much as I would usually. And I just wanted to apologise and explain why. I am a 11 form student, which means that for this year I had to select the subjects needed for my further career development. I have chosen A levels of Biology and Chemistry. These subjects were always my favourite, but the curriculum this year has changed drastically compared to 10 form and I did not even mention that I also have 8 more subjects besides these that I need to prepare for.  I just can't mentally handle the pressure that I get from school and balance my social and school life. Blogging for me isn't just a hobby, it's also my way to relax and it may sound cheesy, but it's the thing that makes me happy. I could post more blog posts, but I just want them to be the best I can do, and for me it takes about 3-7 days, sometimes more to complete a single blogpost and sometimes, in days like this when I find some time to blog, I try to do as much as I can do, but it just gets overwhelming. I don't want to go to more details and I just really hope that you will understand.. This actually makes me mad that I can't post as much as I would love to, especially during the Holiday time. Anyways, I am so happy that the Holidays are coming and I will have a few weeks to sleep in, because these past few months I wasn't getting enough of sleep because of the schoolwork I needed to complete.

♡
I love you guys so so much and your support and comprehension would mean the world to me! I am really sorry that I can't promise you to post more often, but I will try my hardest (by the way, I already have a few posts, that I am currently working on, in my drafts). I wish you an amazing time!

Hello! 

So first of all a disclaimer: I know that most of these things are crazy expensive and I know that I won't get these for Christmas and I haven't told my parents about any of these so this post is just meant to show that I would like to get in general and that I don't hope to get any of these as a gift. I hope you understand:)

You may have noticed from the picture that I would like to get mostly makeup stuff, but there are also some odd things like Diva Ring Light, alarm clock, light tent and etc. If you are interested what is on my wishlist, just keep on reading:)

Lastly, I wanted to remind that Christmas is not all about the presents. Gifts are just a nice addition to the time you get to spend with the closest to you people. Don't forget that!:)

Make sure to comment down below what is on your wish list because I would love to know!

I guess it's time to talk about the pigmentation. I would say that these are highly pigmented and blend really well. It has been such a struggle to take a picture of the highlight, but with the help of ipiccy I managed it haha. I love how both powder and cream colours work well together. It's one of those palettes which all of the colours are going to be used. 

If you need more info I recommend reading from the picture down below, I think Sleek did an amazing job with this instruction. It says what every single highlight is for and how to apply it! Overall, I think this palette is a great addition to your makeup collection and totally worth the money!

Let me know if you have ever tried something from Sleek Makeup and if you do , let me know that was it!

I hope you enjoyed and are having an amazing morning/day/evening/night!

I don't know whether you are familiar with that these fonts are for, but if you are not, then I can tell you a bit about the purpose of these and how to use them.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
What are these fonts for?
I use custom fonts to spice up my blog pictures and add some flair (e.g. here, here, here). Many youtubers use these for their video thumbnails.

How to download?
You go to any free fonts webpage (just type "free fonts" in a google search bar), in this situation, I have chosen fonts from www.dafont.com so you just need to click on a font name, e.g. "Antrokas" under "Download" and when a new window pops out, click the "Download" button on the right side of the page and your download will be started!

How to install?
When it's downloaded, you need to extract the zip file, then open it and click on the ttf file and when the table pops up just click the install button. That's all!

Where to find your new fonts?

     I noticed that my custom fonts show on Picmonkey, Microsoft Word and Microsoft Power Point so far. If you want to see your new fonts, first you need to restart all the programs that are running, e.g. Microsoft Word, Google Chrome, in order for fonts to show up.

I hope you liked this kind of "Blogging tips" post and found it helpful! I am planning on doing more of these in the future!
