My Current Skincare Heros


Its been a while since I shared some of my skincare favourites. So here are things which I use and love at the moment. Please keep in mind I have a combination skin. I try to target oily areas of my face without over-drying my skin. So here goes:

1. Dermalogica Overnight Clearing Gel - I decided to buy it after some good reviews around this product and I must say I love it. It is an overnight treatment gel which helps to keep my skin clear. It has a Salicylic Acid which means it unplugs pores and helps to prevent future breakouts by reducing access sebum. I apply it at night after I cleansed my face. It works its magic while I sleep and wash it off in the morning. I used it 2 or 3 times a week.

2. CHANEL PURETÉ IDÉALE SÉRUM - Yes, this luxury serum really does the trick. It nicely sinks into my skin leaving it matte and super soft. It is so light but effective. I use it in the morning so it last me a bit longer :)

3. Bioderma - Sebium H2O Cleanser - I use this product to remove my make-up (not eye make-up though). To be totally honest I think I will get back to Bioderma Sensibio as its suitable for the eye make-up removal, but for my combination skin Sebum H2O is a good choice too.

4. Kiehl's - Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado - This cream is rich and creamy which means a tiny bit goes a long way. The texture is enriched with Avocado to gently moisturise the delicate eye area. I mostly use it in the evening or long weekend mornings as it takes a bit of time to absorb but I can see my eye contour area staying firmer and hydrated.

5. Dermalogica Active Moist - I found another product I love from Dermalogica. This is a lightweight moisturiser which hydrates my skin. Although I have a combination skin sometimes it looks dehydrated. I also love the lavender smell of this product. 

Have you tried any of this stuff? Would love you hear about your skincare findings :) x

Summer Break


I had some lovely days in Meloneras, Gran Canaria this July. My mum and I decided to get away from it all and have proper quality time together. We were soaking the sunshine, doing lots of swimming, trying out refreshing cocktails, reading and catching up... What can be more fabulous and relaxing!
I really like islands for our holiday destinations, as they seem so remote and peaceful. There is no continent rush or serious business going on...
Yes, my heart fills with joy when I look at the photos from our summer gateway : )

My Lavender Craze { Mayfield Lavender }


There is nothing better than an evening walk before going to sleep. Especially on those warm August evenings when the sun is setting and the manic rush of the day is over.

Every year I am waiting for lavender to bloom at Mayfield Lavender Field. It is one of my favourite plants and I simply adore its calming fragrance and purple colour.

This year I decided to enter a photo competition and I would greatly appreciate your comments. Which photo shall I send to the competition?

Have a look at my previous photos from the lavender field here.

Wish me luck xx
