Life of Jana

I can honestly admit that I am addi cted to TV shows. I watch too many series and I think this year has been the ''bus i est'' so far. I never used to watch so many shows at once ; I only had a couple of shows I ' d follow every now and then but now I can't even miss one episode! There h ave been so many new shows out this year and I am still constantly finding new ones to get hooked on. Here are my top 6 new TV shows for 2015 : Blindspot - I was a bit sceptical about this one when I first saw the trailer but I am absolutely hooked now! I love TV shows with action, crime solving , a bit of mystery and beautiful act resses. Blood and Oil - I started watching this show because of actor Scott Michael Foster (from Chasing Life) and I love his character i n Blood And Oil too. He plays a troubled rich boy and I ' m excited to see where it all leads . I also love a good drama but only if they don't drag it out too long ! Sense 8 - ...

The first time I heard about JOIK was a couple of years ago when I came across their web site while researching natural Estonian skin care products. I love organic beauty products and I ' ve tried different Estonian skin care products in the past so and thought to try out JOIK. Sadly, I haven't seen any shops here in the UK selling Estonian skin care products or JOIK in particular. I found a beauty shop online called Love Lula which offer s natural skin care products from so many different brands - JOIK is one of them.  Firstly I have to say that I am very pleased with Love Lula . T heir web site is really easy to navigate and my order was with me in just two days. The only thing I could pick on was that one lid was loose and the product was leaking. Luckily it was the mask powder so there wasn't much damage.  I ordered 4 products and 3 of them are quite new to me. Radiance improving cranberry and blackcurrant facial mask for dull and lifeless skin - £11 I ...

What do you watch or read during me-time? I love to catch up on my favourite TV shows. At the moment I'm watching Downton Abbey, Stitchers, Chasing Life and Royal Pains. What do you wear during me-time? Definitely cosy pyjamas or a nightie with a robe and comfy socks. I love to wear my sleeping clothes if I have a day off when we haven't made any plans to go out. What are your me-time beauty products? I go through a long beauty regime when it's ''me-time''. I like to have a bubbly shower with my favourite Strawberry Scrub from Loodusepärl. My skin care is a face mask (Kaeso Rebalancing Willow Bark & Witch Hazel Face Mask) and a deep hydrating treatment (h2o+ Face Oasis Hydrating Treatment). If I am in the mood for pampering, I'll paint my toes (I usually go for a deep red nail polish). Current favourite nail polish? FNUG is my favourite nail polish brand. I am loving the shade 'Hip Newcomer'. What do you eat/drink during me-tim...

In September, Tristan and I visited Estonia and this time we got to do a bit of travelling. We visited Tallinn, Tartu, Viljandi and my hometown Valga (where we spent most of our time). I thought I'd share some of the pictures we took in Tartu, where we spent a day with my mum and brother. I know the city quite well; I lived in Tartu for 3 years when I was attending university. While I was living there I didn't really appreciate its history and architecture. It is a nice, quiet place and there is so much to see! Tartu seems to have the tiniest 'old town' in the world! There is a little square with a city hall and a fountain in the middle. The sculpture standing there is called 'The Kissing Students' and is one of the most recognised symbols of Tartu. Just a few minutes away is the University of Tartu. As the town is so small, the white university building looks very impressive and stands out! This university is one of the oldest in Europe an...

I can't remember ever having done an empties post before. If I have, it must have been a very long time ago. Here are my recently used up products: Umberto Giannini Glam Hair Grunge Glamour Tousled Salt Spray - £6  I think I received this spray in a beauty box a couple of months ago and since then I've been using it every single morning. This salt spray gives my hair such a lovely voluminous texture without leaving it sticky or heavy. This big bottle lasted me about two months with daily use. I will definitely get some more! Tend Skin The Skin Care Solution For Unsightly Razor Bumps, Ingrown Hair And Razor Burns - £12 I bought this solution from Amazon a year ago as I was experiencing sore, red skin every time I shaved my legs. I read so many good reviews and thought I'd try it out. I have to admit, it really does work! It reduces the appearance of red razor bumps within hours and leaves skin soft and smooth. It also prevents ingrown hairs. This product is truly...

I've stopped buying cookies, cakes and pastries from the shop since starting my healthier lifestyle, so when I've been getting sugar cravings I have had to make something myself to fit my diet. I thought I would step over the line for once and make some peanut butter cookies with ''real flour and white sugar''. They came out amazing - very crunchy and crumbly! Tristan liked them too! Ingredients:   1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature 1/2 cup granulated sugar 3/4 cup light brown sugar 2 large eggs, room temperature 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 cup creamy peanut butter 3 cups flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/3 cup granulated sugar for rolling (optional) Directions:  Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Line a baking tray with paper. Cream the softened butter and both sugars together until smooth.  Add the eggs, vanilla and peanut butter and mix until combined. Sift in the flour, baking powder and salt until ...

Sofa Cushion Pillow Case / Autumn Leaf Cushion Cover / Yankee Candle / Autumn Owl Trio Oven Glove / Folklore Four Seasons Bowl Set / Knitted Fluffy Boot Slippers / Laurel Burch Shoulder Tote / Autumnal Orange Hanging Fabric Fox Christmas Tree Decorations / Apple Roses / I am obsessed with decorating our flat at the moment and even though I've already bought a couple of new cushion cases, I've fallen in love with these autumn-themed ones. Yellow, orange and gold colours really look beautiful at this time of year. I also start burning candles more often when it gets a bit darker outside, so a couple of new Yankee candles are definitely something I need to pick up soon.  Folklore Four Seasons Bowls and an Owl Oven Glove would be such a lovely addition to my kitchen! I recently discovered Folklore kitchenware and I am a huge fan. The Hanging Fabric Fox decorations are advertised more as Christmas Tree decorations but I think they would look super cute anywhere around t...
