Birchbox - Global Strikers

This month's theme is Brazil. As a certain football tournament is kicking off in Brazil, Birchbox decided to take inspiration from the World Cup and relate some of the products with the event.



Inside there are 6 products - one of them is a non beauty related, Brazil-inspired flip-flop keyring.





Beautyblender + Blendercleanser Solid - £16 

An egg shaped make-up sponge to ensure a flawless base. Plus a solid soap to clean it. I do not have a much experience with make-up sponges but basically this is how it goes: wet sponge, squeeze out water, dot into foundation, stipple over the skin. To clean: wet it, stroke across the soap, lather, rinse in warm water, air dry. I have been always using my fingers, foundation goes soft and melty and is much better to apply to the skin. I am excited to try it out anyway!



Caudalie Divine Oil - £18

A delicately fragranced dry oil that sinks in fast, hydrates skin and leaves a silky sheen. This oil includes patented antioxidant grape-seed polyphenols and exotic oils- grape, hibiscus, sesame and argan - to moisturise and protect. It can be applied to the face, limbs, nails and hair. Rub a few drops between the palms of your hands and smooth it all over the body. I think I've already mentioned a thousand times how much I love oils.



Yves Rocher Sheer Botanical Lipstick - £9.90

A sheer, glossy lipstick infused with moisturising cherry oil to leave lips lusciously soft. I have already used it and it is a nice pink colour with non-drying elements, leaves lips soft, comfortable and extremely creamy. 



OPI Nail Lacquer The Brazil Collection - £11.95

Inspired by Brazil's tropical rainforests and sandy beaches. A cute mini polish with cheery colour and perfect to match the sunny weather. 







Coola Classic Face SPF30 Cucumber - £26 

This is a small sample size sunscreen to protect your skin from the sun's harsh rays with cucumber-scented SPF for face. Bonus - no white residue! It can be applied over the face and neck after moisturiser and before make-up or even used alone. 



And here is the lovely Havaianas-inspired keyring.



I love these little cards Birchbox added to the box. They are full of tips, ideas and encouragement.

Esimene trimester ehk esimesed kolm kuud \\ beebi number 2

Tere blogi, Jah, üllatus, üllatus, ma olen rase! Esimene trimester on läbi ja teen küsimused-vastused varjandis blogipostituse. Ausalt öeldes ei olnud mul just kõige kergem algus- jõetus, väsimus, iiveldamine ja oksendamine kestsid 6. nädalast kuni 13. nädalani. Ei tuleks vist eriti huvitav postitus, kui ma peaks kirjutama, kuidas ma kõik need nädalad voodis veetsin ja mitu korda päevas vetsupotti kallistasin, nii siis vastan pigem mõnedele esimese trimestriga seotud küsimustele.   Kuidas sa avastasid, et sa oled rase ja kuidas sa Tristanile ütlesid? Ühel reede hommikul ärkasin varem, et trenni teha. Jooksin jooksulindi peal umbes 30 minutit ja terve selle aja tundsin end imelikult. Umbes 5 minutit enne jooksmise lõppu tuli mul üles mega suur röhitsus ja natuke maomahla. See tunne oli nii tuttav! Tagasi tuppa tulles tegin veel Tristanile nalja, et olen vist rase. Terveks päevaks jäi see mõte mind kummitama ja ma ütlesin Tristanile, et peaks igaks juhuks rasedustesti tegema. Jä...

Minu lemmikud tooted - Austraalia eri

Tere blogi, vahelduseks kõigile nendele raseduse postitustele panin kokku väikse listi oma viimase aja lemmikutest toodetest. Olen eelistanud niinimetatud kodumaist, ehk siis kõik tooted on Austraalias tehtud-toodetud-valmistatud.   asap Revitalising Bodyscrub   Paar kuud tagasi otsisin endale uut kehakoorijat ja komistasin juhuslikult sellise brändi otsa nagu asap . Mulle meeldis just see, et nende tooted on looduslikud, vegan ja valmistatud siin Austraalias. Pudel on hea suurusega (200 ml) ja maksab 50 dollarit (umbes 30 eurot). See kehakoorija sisaldab ka minu lemmikut glükoolhapet, mis on tugev antioksüdant, põletikuvastase toimega, nahka niisutav ja stimuleerib kollageeni loomist. Kasutan suhteliselt kokkuhoidlikult - umbes vutimuna suurune kogus ja sellest piisab täiesti käia üle kohad, mis enim muret teevad. Olen kasutanud seda kehakoorijat kaks korda nädalas. Hõõrun õrnalt umbes paar minutit ja loputan siis duši all maha. Nahk on pärast mega pehme ja mina nägin mu...

Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Guide - Starting again

The last time I posted about my workout regime was in November last year when I started the Kayla Itsines BBG healthy eating plan and 12 week workout sessions. I think I got up to week 4 before I lost my motivation because of illness and Christmas. My friend Marianne and I started BBG again on the 5th of January with thousands of other girls and joined #thekaylamovement and #kaylasarmy to share our journey along this painful but exciting path.  You can read my first post about the BBG programme here as I am explaining a bit more on how I 'found' Kayla and how the training works.  I have done BBG for 5 weeks now (the first 2 weeks we did pre-training) and I'm feeling quite positive. I've not seen much progress myself - I still have my weak areas like tummy, bum and thighs. I do feel much stronger though! I'm doing all of the workouts properly, I have strength in my legs and arms - it is quite easy to do 10 push ups and continue with triceps and mountain clim...
