Go Blonder for Summer

I have always natural light blonde hair ranging in colors because in the summer it gets a lot lighter from the sun and during the fall and winter my hair become a little bit darker. But during first pregnancy my hair had started to lose it natural light blonde colour, and got darker to more ash blonde. I don't wanted to dye my hair and I find the best products that helps me stay blonde. 

Schwarzkopf got2b - Strand Nixe Aufhellungsspray blond 

Schwarzkopf got2b Beach babe lightening spray

I bought the Schwarzkopf got2be lightening spray to brighten up my dull dirty blonde hair. This stuff is amazing!!! This is the perfect thing for me as it lightens my hair and brightens the blonde. I've used  this spray for a few years now. Beach Lightening Spray gives a sun-kissed, natural look to your hair, bleaches your hair gradually. The unique formula will bleach your hair 1/4 of one shade per use and can be enhanced with heat from eg dryer or sunlight. I spray it on damp hair and comb through to make sure its evenly spread through my hair. I spray it only on my grown up roots. You have to use heat on it to activate it to make it lighten your hair. So you have to dry your hair with a hair dryer or stay under the sunlight. Treatment may be repeated after 2-3 days, but remember don't to use it more than 3-5 times a month, depending on the colour results. Can be used again after 4-6 weeks. I also use this during the winter, and it does a very good job in keeping my hair blonde. I recommend this to all blonds looking for a lighter blond.

John Frieda Go Blonder Shampoo

I've been using this shampoo for a month now and I really liked it! My hair has become so much lighter and brighter. This shampoo gradually lightens natural, colour-treated and highlighted blonde hair. The gentle formula improves the healthy look of your hair by tightening the cuticle and strengthening the shaft. If you are looking to bring your blonde hair up a shade or two, this go blonder shampoo can do it within three or four washes. The smell is fantastic. It smells like lemons and chamomile and it is very refreshing for summer months. Occasionally I switch up shampoo, because I don't think you need to use it everyday, a few times a week works for me very well. So, I definately recommend this!

Moroccan oil

KUR Profi Line

This is an amazing product! Moroccan oil contains Argan oil and other natural ingredients that your hair absorb and give a healthy, shiny result. Argan oil is pressed from the nut of the fruit of the Argan Tree, which is only found in Morocco. It is extremely rich in beneficial nutrients including fatty acids and vitamin E. The oil protects against UV rays, smog, cigarette smoke free radicals and other destructive environmental factors. With its high vitamin E and fatty acid content, argan oil is the ideal product to give skin a natural boost and to make hair healthier, softer, silkier and shinier.

Moroccan oil is perfect for application on towel-dried hair, after washing your hair or you can use it after styling. You only need a small amount. I have long hair so it needs extra care at the end. The oil absorbs into my hair really quickly and  hair dries a lot quicker with the oil on it as it disperses the water. I have very long hair and it dries in about half the time it used to. My hair feels soft, less frizzy, sleek and looks healthy, thicker and with a beautiful shine. I love this oil because it doesn't leave hair greasy like other serums or oils. I also notice that my hair seems to grow quicker. Moroccan oil is great for detangling longer hair and it smells wonderful. This is a must have if you have children who have fine tangled hair. So this oil can be used by the whole family. Also you can use Moroccan oil not only for your hair but it's also lovely on your skin. You can use argan oil for a full body moisturizer or daily treatment for your face.

It might seem expensive but only a small amount of the product is needed, so it lasts a long time. Definitely recommend it!!

Summer color: Coral

Hello, my dear readers! In this blogpost I thought I'd share my top coral picks for the upcoming Summer months.

All shade's of coral are my favourite during the summer. Coral - is solid skeleton (residence) of coral polyps. Their variety of  corals are more than 3500 species, and about 350 colors. More famous pink, orange and red corals. These shades are considered to be the coral color. This season one of the popular colors will be Cayenne and it’s so close to coral. 

Coral wardrobe

Find this color on dresses, tunics, shirts, pants, shoes and of course accessories. 

Coral Beauty Products

Lipsticks and lipglosses

Coral is such a beautiful colour and it is suitable for a everyday look or a lovely evening look. There are so many shades of coral lipsticks, you will be sure to find one that suits your skin tone. 
Tips, how to choose the shade that will suit you:

• Coral looks better on tan skin so try using a light bronzer to warm up your skin and create a sun kissed beach look
• If you have fair, cool skin tones you should look for coral lipstick with a pink undertone 
• And if you have medium, darker, and warm skin tones you should look for coral lipstick with more orange undertone. 

I have a few lipsticks and lip glosses in this color:
Dior Addict Lipstick
Lancome Lipstick Juicy
Labello Lipbalm Frutty Shine Peach
Loreal Lipgloss 6H Long Lasting gloss
Sisley Lipgloss Phyto-lip star
Maybelline Lipstick
Chanel Lipgloss Levres Scintillantes Glossimer
Catrice Pure ShineColour Lip Balm

Nail polishes
Coral polishes will always be my favorite during warmer weather. Colors like this look great on all lengths of nails! 

I have a few favourite nail polishes in this color.
Essence
Juli Rosse
Borjois
Miss Sporty
Moyra Gel Look

Friday the 13th

Today is Friday the 13th. Are you superstitious about this date???

I'm not, since my daughter Julianna was born on that day. My due date was on Valentine day, but she decided to be born on that special day (Friday the 13th, February 2009). Many people believe Friday 13th is a lucky day for children to be born. So if you were born on the thirteenth of any month, Friday the 13th is considered an especially lucky day for you. For those who were born on Friday the patron planet is Venus. It gives them a gift - to love and be loved. It is believed that people who were born on Friday the 13th, have a good intuition, they solve difficult problems easier, and the number 13 brings to their life only good changes. According to statistics, on this day was born a lot of rich and talented people (they sing, dance, play instruments, love to read and write poems, compose music, paint well). Very often they are leaders in life. They are very talkative, love to talk and get pleasure from it. It's exactly about Yulianna, she is chatterbox. Those who are born on Friday are funny and like to joke.

So, no worries, its just a day!

Hair Care Products for Summer

Hi, everyone!!! Today's post will be about hair care products that I use during the summer. Hope it will be interesting for you.

Your hair, just like your skin, can suffer from over-exposure to the sun, espessily during summer when our hair is exposed to UV damage. UV rays will fade your color and dry out your hair in the worst way, they destroy the keratin, the core of the hair structure, which can lead to hair breakage, and split ends. So our hair needs the protection during the summer.

My favourite hair products for summer are:

Kerastase Soleil Sun Protection

   Love Kerastase hair products, they are definitely the best! 
   The range of Kerastase Soleil products protect your hair from sun exposure, chlorine, saltwater and air-conditioning.
   First time I bought this shampoo a few years ago before a summer holidays and I was really pleased with the way it cleared the salt and swimming pool chlorine out of my hair. My hair looks shiny and healthy and feels clean and moisturized. When I use this my hair has no tangles and feels very soft. Also I used this combined with the Masque UV Defense active from the same range and I got amazing results from these products.
   I have only used Kerastase Soleil during the summer and I'll keep buyng this shampoo every summer, but you don't have to limit its use to summer months. It's excellent any time of the year.

L'Oréal Professionnel Solar Sublime After Sun Protect

   The L'Oréal Professionnel Solar Sublime range is another great products for hair exposed to sun, chlorine or salt water. 
  The L'Oréal Solar Sublime Shampoo is a fantastic to use after a day on the beach or swiming in the pool. It gently cleanses your hair of chlorine and salt and add moisture, leaving it feeling soft and glossy. It has a very pleasant peach smell.

   The L'Oréal Solar Sublime Nourishing Balm provides intensive nourishment for your hair after exposure to the sun, salt water or swimming pool chemicals. This leaves my hair silky smooth, gives a radiant shine from roots to ends and helps to detangle the hair.

   I can say these products protected and saved my hair from the high UV rays, salt water, chlorine and so on. I use it most often in the summer months and always on holiday. So now it's hot and sunny and the swimming pool season is open and I need to buy these amazing products again. 

What do you use on your hair during the summer?

Hello, Delisious Summer!

Hello! In the honour of the first day of summer and International Children's Day my little princesses ask me to make something yummy. The cherries are in season right now and we have a lot of cherries in our garden, so I decided to make Cherry Tartlet. This tartlet recipe was a great way to transform our favorite summer fruit into a deliciously simple dessert.

The recipe is very easy, all ingredients you need is:

For the filling: 

cream cheese

sour cream

suggar

chocolate

Topping:

cherries

I want to do tartlets myself, but I didn't have such molds for baking and couldn't find any in supermarkerts, so I simply buy these tartles.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese with sour cream until light and creamy. Add sugar and chocolate and beat until smooth and creamy. Fill each of the tarts with some of the cream. Clean and cut the cherries in half and remove the pits. Arrange the cherries on top of each of the tarts.

Next time you need a quick and tasty summer treat, give these cute and delicious tarts a try.
