not a "To-do" list but a "must-do" list

Hello there, 

as of 2014 I have created a "must-do" list. I will be starting quite a few new activities and one of them includes YouTube'ing. That's right I will be uploading loads of new videos on beauty, fashion, hairstyles, lifestyle and everything and anything. Hopefully this way I can grow my audience and eventually actually become popular like +Zoella +Imogen Foxy Locks +beautycrush +Lauren Curtis and many more beauty/lifestyle blogger/vlogger gurus. (my list could go on forever)

Now, I know this requires a lot of hard work and commitment, but i'm willing to take the challenge and see what comes out of it. You know what they say: Hard work pays off!

There are many reasons why I didn't try vlogging earlier:

1. I hate hearing my own voice on camera
2. I don't find myself as "professional" as all the other vloggers
3. I'm not so self confident
4. I'm scared this will all be a big fail and that I will be dissed

But as we say: you never know till you try. So I am going to give this a shot and see where it leads to. If I realise that I'm not really getting anything out of it I'll probably just stop vlogging and stick to blogging. This doesn't mean I'll stop blogging, on the contrary, I love to write, so I'll definitely be keeping this up.

I hope to get as much support from my current followers and hopefully my new followers. This will mean so much to me and it's a great motivation for my new project. I will also be posting my videos weekly on a specific day so you all know when new videos will be up.

Also on my "must-do" list is to participate to my hometown's "Miss Luxembourg" (modeling) competition and even to give a shot at the "elite model Luxembourg" which happens here too. I know I'm way under the average model height which is 1m76 and I'm like 10 centimeters shorter, but for "Miss Luxembourg" any size and age girl can participate so I have a chance! (max age is 25 or something and min 16 or 18)

For those of you who don't actually know where Luxembourg is, it's a small country situated between France, Germany and Belgium. Population - half of a million, very multi-lingual and you can find nearly every nationality from all over the world: from Chinese to Brazilians to Danes to Greeks. There's probably at least one person from each country worldwide who lives in Luxembourg. Hence me: my dad is from Romania and my mum is from Scotland.

Luxembourg is also known for its large number of banks and also it's richness, yes we're a small little rich country. Last time I checked we were number 1 richest country in Europe. So if you didn't know all of this, that was a quick little history lesson for you on Luxembourg.

Anyway I hope all of you will be supportive and encouraging for my next big project: YouTube. Thank you for your time and patience and hope to hear from you all very soon!

My January Birchbox '14

Hello my beauties,

So back to beauty products today! I've received my January Birchbox in the post and here's what was inside, take a look:

I was actually very sceptical when first signing up to birchbox. I heard from some girls that Birchbox wasn't too good and others said it was excellent, so I said to myself: "what the heck" and gave it a go. My January Birchbox is indeed my first Birchbox and as a result I'm quite pleased although I was expecting more bits and bobs for my hair like hair bands or so on. Maybe next month I'll have better luck!

Here are my products in details:

1. Dr. Hauschka - Lemon lemongrass vitalising Bath essence It's quite hard to review this product, since I don't have a bath tub anymore (frowning). I really miss my bath tub and I loved taking baths especially with Lush's bath bombs! Oh well this one i'll have to save for when I'm on holiday in a hotel. What I can say though is that it smells so refreshing and lively. Spring in a bottle!

2. Delarom Paris - Acquaconfort mask. Smooth and light hydrating mask Nothing special, but It's always nice to have a face mask now and then. I'm actually quite pleased with this because I love treating my face to face masks, especially on sundays, plus this is a mini tube so it's great to test. I wouldn't buy this product simply because I love trying out new products. Yay me for samples!

3. Model co - Party proof matte lipstick in Red Velvet Wow great texture and vibrant color! This lipstick applys very very easily, which was kind of weird in the beginning. I'm used to applying lipsticks on a bit harder but this goes on so easily and smoothly you have to apply it very lightly. And even the lightest touch gives the max. color needed which is great! It kind of melts on your lips. I'm very happy with this product, i'm only a bit disappointed because it said I got two colors: Red Velvet and Get Naked but I never got Get Naked. Apart from that, great product.

4. Thermaliv - soft face scrub I love a nice face scrub and this product is just right. I wouldn't buy this in it's original format though, because as I said before hand I love trying out new products so the sample size suits me fine. I love a great face scrub, this really clears out your pores and gets rid of all impurities.

5. Beauty protector - Protect and Detangle leave in conditioner LOVE LOVE LOVE this product. This is by far the best product I received in my January Birchbox, I'll even give it the stamp of approval and the product of January Birchbox award. Smells so so nice I want to eat my hair. This little wonder instantly detangles, thermal protector, UV protector, seals cuticles, smoothes hair, locks in color, adds shine, weightless, non-greasy, conditions, for all hair types and to use daily. I would agree to everything and approve it. I would definitely buy this product in big! Only problem was in the beginning nothing would come out even if i pumped and pumped the spray so I detached the spray and sprayed it a few times in a glass of water till it worked, I then screwed it back on to the bottle and it worked perfectly!

6. Móa - the green balm A small cute tube of hydrayting cream. Smells good feels good and fits perfectly in your handbag. Cute little product for a quick creaming ( ok sounds wrong but you understand me). I wouldn't buy this product in big simply because ( as before) I love trying out new stuff.

There that's all for my January Birchbox. Hope you enjoyed reading this post and hopefully you've decided to join the Birchboxers! 

Good luck !!

* I was born in mine; I don't mind it anymore

What's in my makeup bag January 2014 ❤

What's in my makeup bag you ask? Well let's have a little look then girls.

A detailed post on what's in my makeup bag this January 2014 with my product of the month!
I nearly always use the same face makeup for quite a while so that might not change, what mostly changes are the eye shadows, mascaras and lipsticks. Keep on reading and dive into my makeup bag with me.

Sexy cat eyes ❤

Girls, whether you believe me or not, I'm being completely honest with yous here, no jokes, but in this picture this was my very first attempt at cat eye eyeliner! After watching a very inspiring video from <<pin up beauty>> I decided to finally give this a go. I've always wanted those sexy elongated eyes but I never thought that it would suit me no more than if I was even able to do it!

Important message ❤

  HAPPY NEW YEAR  

to all my fellow bloggers! It is currently 00:00 1st of January 2014 here where I am. I wish you all the best of luck for the New Year and I hope you all accomplish your New Years resolutions!

Cheers to your health, happiness and success! Bottoms up for a great New year's party!
