August Favorites

"Every year, August lashes out in volcanic fury, rising with the din of morning traffic, its great metallic wings smashing against the ground, heating the air with ever-increasing intensity." - Henry Rollins

Hello everyone,

another month has come to its end. Sadly, the month is called August which means summer will be also almost gone by. But... I'm going to wear shorts until September will be over, and I don't care about freezing my legs off in the morning time. It is still summer! If I didn't shock you with my previous sentences, please keep on reading and maybe you will learn something new about me.

1) What is the funniest thing that happened to you?
I had a lot of funny moments but I laughed so hard when I got an attack of laughter. It happens often, sometimes for no reason. And I cannot stop laughing for about 5 or even 10 minutes! Great exercise for the muscles, right?

2) Did you read any books?
I consider myself being a book worm so my answer is yes! I read Fifty shades of Grey (in Slovenian) and Fifty shades darker (in English). These books are pure addiction, trust me! I almost ate them because they were sooooo good! I needed only 7 days to finish both of them. I cannot wait to get my hands on the last part. You HAVE to read them, okay?

3) Did you watch any movies?
Actually, I remember only the one from last night, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. Overall, I didn't have time to watch any movies due to studying.

4) Something that made you proud of yourself?
This is a tough one... Maybe being able (especially mentally) to study during the hot summer time?

5) Did you play any games?
No.

6) Did you travel anywhere?
I was in our capital city Ljubljana for a few days, climbed on Šmarna gora (669 m), watched the swans at Zbiljsko jezero, visited my friend from Koroška and was on the top of Uršlja gora (1699 m)!

7) Which foods did you try and loved?

I tried the Rolled grilled cheese sandwiches. I had some troubles with rolling them because they would not obey me. I prepared them with my bf and we almost set the kitchen on fire thanks to the overheated pan. Anyway, they taste really good!

8) Which songs did you like?

Capital Cities - Safe and sound. Constantly on replay. When I hear it, I think about summer, holidays, driving to the seaside... Music to my ears.

9) Which products did you like?
Forever 21 earrings
Essie nourish me base coat
Fa Cream&Oil shower cream

10) What did you learn?
I learned about some "new" issues that I have with myself. And I was studying for my exam. That's learning too, isn't it?

I hope you enjoyed reading this post!

Have a nice week,

Vanja

Tag: Beauty blogger tag

Hello everyone,

as you can tell from the title, I am going to do the beauty blogger tag even though I don't consider myself as a beauty blogger - I like to write about anything, beauty related stuff is not my thing at all. However, I was tagged by The ugly truth or sweet lies? (check her out!) to answer the questions written below. Why not? So let's start!

The rules:

1) Tag the creator of the tag - The Beau Bow

2) Tag some more beauty bloggers you want to do the tag

3) Title your post "The beauty blogger tag"

4) Answer the questions

And here are the questions:

1) Name the beauty routine you barely do!

Now you will laugh about me... I don't really have any makeup routine because I rarely use makeup except for special occasions. I just don't see the point of using makeup everyday. I am a strange kid, I admit.

2) Is washing your makeup brushes something you regularly do?

Since I don't use makeup everyday, my few makeup brushes that I have are chilling on the shelf all dusty. But I try to clean them once a month. Oh come on, nobody likes to do this!

3) How long will you last with chipped nail varnish?

It depends on the color of the nail polish. If it is a dark one, I will remove it immediately. In general, I can't stand chipped nail polish.

4) How long do you put off buying/replacing a beauty or nail polish product even if you need it (ie. top coat, foundation, etc.)?

I put off buying ANY stuff/thing/product if I don't have some extra money to spend. So, when money finally fills my wallet, I will get the oh-so-much-needed thingy.

5) What is your worst beauty habit?

I cannot remember of any bad habit right now, but when I was little, I was biting my poor nails like crazy. Fortunately, I got rid of this gross habit.

6) Name something non-beauty related you put off doing all the time?

I have to study pharmacology for my next exam and I need to start with it NOW.

7) When going out somewhere do you leave getting ready to the last minute or not?

Usually yes, except for special events I take my time to get ready.

8) Can you commit to spending bans?

Yes. I stand behind my words.

9) How organized is your makeup and nail polish collection?

Makeup collection? Hm... I don't really have one. The products are just lying around. The nail polishes are much more organized, I keep them in a clear plastic box.

10) What is the longest time you have gone without writing a blog post?

I always have a post up every Sunday so there is no longest time, sorry.

To continue, I tag:
