I feel like it has been a life time since I last posted on here, I'M SORRY.  However, I really want to get back and have my own little place where I can share my passion to fashion and beauty, but also have space where I can share all the happy times that I spend with friends and family. to be able to look back and remember all the fun times we had together. A little bit about me...

As much as I love fashion and being adventurous with it, there is another passion of mine that I enjoy and that is Beauty.

Lush Favourites

Who doesn't love a warm, bubbly bath at this time of year? Certainly,  I do! So I thought it would be nice to share my favourite lush products that I have been using lately. One of my favourites and the best one must be 'Intergalactic Bath Bomb' I absolutely love the smell is strong but not too powering, it also leaves the smell on your body for a very long time after you get out. But that is not the best thing about it, the best thing is that it makes the water look amazing, blue and gold glitter. Who doesn't like some glitter? https://www.lush.co.uk/products/bubble-bars/milky-bath I don't like sweet scents, like floral or fruity. I love fresh scents that will make you feel relaxed and 'clean'. However, I do love 'Candy Mountain' it smells like bubble gum! This is a bubble bar, so you just break a piece of or use all if you feeling generous to yourself and crumble under running water. It will create the biggest bubbles in your bath y

Everyday Make-up Products

Hi guys and welcome back. It was so long when I have posted anything here, I'm really sorry. To day I wanted to post something different and I decided to show you what make-up products I use to do my everyday make-up look.  But first i wanted to announce that me and my sister have started our first ever YouTube channel, we are both been thinking about starting YouTube and we wanted to create our channels but we were SIMPLY scared. So we have decided to create our channel 'Chatty Sisters', it would mean a lot if you could go and check it out and leave a nice comment saying what you think about it, we are still getting used to all the editing and filming the videos but one day it will get better.  But now lets get started! This is simple everyday make-up look that i go to every time and rushing out of the door. It's simply foundation, powder, a bit of bronzer, cat eye liner, and mascara its simple as that. Now let me show you the products I use: Loreal- Nude

But now I'm back and hope that I will be posting something every weekend. First I want to ask you guys how your summer holiday have past and what have you been doing over the past six weeks? I thought it would be fun to share my summer holidays with you and see what you have been doing. This year I have been doing quite a lot of things and travelling. As you may or may not know that I am from Poland, (if you didn't know, now you do) me and my family have took an adventure for 24 hours over to Poland, as we do every summer. It is tiring but totally worth it. On 30th of June we have travelled to Poland sea side (Pobierowo), we have been going to sea side every year for over 13 years, I don't think summer is completed without a beach and some nice, br
